"Failure's Not Flattering"

"Failure's Not Flattering"

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

don't leave this rock unturned
cause you could like what you find
a sure shot hit
with your name attached to it
will you keep me in mind
I won't cast the first stone
or leave the first mark
but I will leave a lasting impression
you believe what you want
and you said what's been said
and i do hope you learn a lesson (do hope you learn a lesson)

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

don't look too hard for what you want
cause it could be on the tip of your tongue
you're holding back
like there's nothing left to it
could this be a false alarm
I won't cast the first stone
or leave the first mark
but I will leave a lasting impression
you believe what you want
and you said what's been said
and i do hope you learn a lesson (do hope you learn a lesson)

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

why don't you get it together now
failure's not flattering
when will you show yourself
when will you show yourself
ah, i do hope you learn a lesson
you'll never learn your lesson

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

"Faithfully"

"Faithfully"

[Originally by Journey]
[Sung by Ian Grushka (bassist)]

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go 'round and 'round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
Lovin' a music man
Ain't all it's supposed to be
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn
To fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

"Familiar Landscapes"

"Familiar Landscapes"

Let's fall deeper into sleep
And our dreams become fake reality
I wake, i hope.
I'm on my way, to a coast
Where I know the roads like the back of my hand
Familiar landscapes

And I know that this is new
Like your first day of school
And you're feeling awkward
Like you miss your home
And it leaves you with an empty feeling
I just can't take it anymore

What do you want from me?
What do you want from my life?
What do you want from me?
Cause my heart can't take it
My heart can't take this anymore
You feel deeply misplaced
Your world has been built to crumble
You hope and pray everyday it works out
And it leaves me with this empty feeling
I just can't take it anymore

What better time than now to bandage your bleeding
And I won't stop till I fix your misleading
Your charm of course you use as a weapon
But my heart can't take it

"First Bite"

"First Bite"

Whatever happened to forgive and forget?
I can admit that I'm a letdown, mostly out of step now
I can't move on until I fully admit
That the ship that I ran aground will never come back around

It's foolish for me to think it's for the best
With one hand on my mouth and the other ripping out my chest
We started over but you'll never forget
I was the first and I was sleeping in our…

Past tense, I can't think about it all night
You could eat me up with the taste of the first bite
Past tense, I can't think about it all night
I would rather wake up alone than be with you tonight

I'll never learn to shut my mouth and move on
I will admit to my mistakes now forget about common ground
I started over but I'll never forget
I was the first now I'm sleeping in her… not your…

Past tense, I can't think about it all night
You could eat me up with the taste of the first bite
Past tense, I can't think about it all night
I would rather wake up alone than be with you tonight
Be with you tonight

Past tense, I can't think about it all night
I would rather wake up alone than be with you tonight

Hold on, I regret
Folding in the heat of the moment
There's no way to go back
The knife you turned can't heal, you know that

Hold on, I regret
Folding in the heat of the moment
There's no way to go back
The knife you turned can't heal, you know that

It only hurts cause I let it,
You use the past as a weapon
And now I'm sleeping in our bed

Past tense, I can't think about it all night
You could eat me up with the taste of the first bite
Past tense, I can't think about it all night
I would rather wake up alone than be with you tonight
Be with you tonight

Past tense, I can't think about it all night

"For The World"

"For The World"

[Shai Hulud Cover, Performed 4/21/2001 Albany, NY]

Poured myself out:
I am the empty cup
My hope has died away
And my tolerance faded.

How can I keep Stability
On such shaky ground?
Prayers that a smile will flag me down.

Sadly I've learned there's no truth in comfort;
Well-being stems not from love.
Anguish proves to be my only means of solace,
Yet I want to be held by anyone,
With any arms

I spend another morn alone
In a world that rejects me.
A public unkind, laced with apathy.
This one's for the world: I hate you.

Life could get no colder;
I'm living out a dying cell,
But I can pull through.

"Forget Everything"

"Forget Everything"

Can we pretend for one second that we are together,
What's the point of keeping my feelings at bay,
It takes alot of me,
To get the nerve to wake up,
Everyday,

And what if I don't,
Would you even care,
Would you even care,

Forget everything that we have done,
Erase me,
From your memory,
Don't call,
Don't ask about me until the day hell freezes over,

I can't remember the last time I saw you smile,
It might have been around this time last year,
It takes alot of me,
To get the nerve to tell you everything is ok,

And what if I don't,
Would you even care,
Would you even care,

Forget everything that we have done,
Erase me,
From your memory,
Don't call,
Don't ask about me until the day hell freezes over,

It's gone,
Before you know it,
You can't let go of something you've never had,
It's ash until you burn it,
I hope I never see you again,

And what if I don't,
Would you even care,
Would you even care,

Forget everything that we have done,
Erase me,
From your memory,
Don't call,
Don't ask about me until the day hell freezes over,

When hell freezes over

"Forget My Name"

"Forget My Name"

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

can you tell
that I'm losing myself
I think I'm trying too hard to
let it show
to let you know
don't trace your footsteps back to me

cause I've been gone for a long time
waiting on the sidelines
hoping for a chance to play
well I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

can you tell
that I don't know myself
I need someone to remind me
to let it go
please let me know
don't trace your footsteps back to me

cause I've been gone for a long time
waiting on the sidelines
hoping for a chance to play
well I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

and if I had the chance
to do it all again
I wouldn't expect anything less
and if I had the chance
to do it all again
I wouldn't expect
I wouldn't expect anything less

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

forget my name

"Golden"

"Golden"

This could be the song everyone relates to
Another melody something we go through
This could be the words to use in good fortune
To keep in the bag of my foiled backup plan
It’s the beat that keeps you marching on
So take your chance I got armour on
Reasons will reveal itself into time
So for luck will you cross your fingers?

You and I girl, we’ve got something golden
Did you now they say it never lasts
And oh-oh-oh, we’ve got something golden
We can’t, can’t break, everyone, everyone’s wrong
Everyone, everyone’s wrong

This could be the verse always reminding you
Of your battle scars all your could have been’s
Only I know what I’ve been through
But for luck I’d still cross my fingers

[Chorus:]

I could have used this long ago
You took my good advice
I could have used this long ago
Should have crossed my fingers

[Chorus:]

"Head On Collision"

"Head On Collision"

I've been waiting for a good day
I've been holding back long enough
I've been hurting to tell you some things
it's not the falling of the temperature
that's making all our bones run cold
it's the breeze you make
the presence felt when you're around me

and it feels like I'm at an all-time low
slightly bruised and broken
from our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
form our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case

and I'm still waiting for a good day
I think I've held this long enough
I think it's safe to tell you some things
it's not just what you say to people
and it's not the way you look at me
it's the way you present yourself
for all your worst critics to see

and it feels like I'm at an all-time low
slightly bruised and broken
from our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
form our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case

then you were gone
you were gone
all this time you just didn't know it yet
you were gone
all this time you just didn't know it yet
you were gone

and it feels like I'm at an all-time low
slightly bruised and broken
form our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
from our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
another tragic case and I've been
still waiting for a good day
still waiting for a good day

"Head Over Heels"

"Head Over Heels"

[From the movie "Donnie Darko"]
[Originally by Tears For Fears]

I wanted to be with you alone and talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch and gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
Oh, you're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away (Throw it away...Throw it away...)

I made a fire and watching it burn (yeah) Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No, no, no, have you no ambitions,
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away (don't throw it away)

And this is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind, this is my four leaf clover

La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la [fading..]
