Better For Once

Do you know how you're feeling?
Is there any way that I can help?
You don't have to fear the night-time if you're shut up in a shell...
But still you're starting to scare me.
Is it easy to tell?
I want you to go far friend, I think it's time you got some help.
But I'm afraid to make a move.
Know that I'll never lie
When I say that it's fun
I just want you feel
Better For Once
No I won't say goodbye
When the time starts to run
I just want you to feel
Better For Once...
I may not know how you're feeling
But man I'm gonna try
You don't have to get all lonely
You don't have to start to cry
Because you're starting to scare me,
Bet you already knew
I'm here just like you're family
And you're gonna make it through
Know that I'll never lie
When I say that it's fun
I just want you feel
Better For Once
No I won't say goodbye
When the time starts to run
I just want you to feel
Better For Once...
Know that I'll never lie
When I say that it's fun
I just want you to feel
Better for once
Know that I won't start again
You and Me the best of friends
I just want you to feel,
Better Again...

If I could fly off towards the stars
I'd give up everything to get that far
But little did I know

And Helen of Troy can't hold a candle
Next to you this woman of my dreams...
This girl is my every dream come true
Never forgive myself if it falls through
Well what would you do?
And What Should I do?

Disembark

Oh Captain,
We've arrived in shallow seas.
I suggest that we turn back now if alive we want to leave.
But I'd never suggest... the thing that I want best....
Is for you to anchor here with me.
And First Mate,
I wish you best of days
You were strong and you were subtle.
You were happy and you were brave
and I wish now you'd be with me here for the darkest of my days
But here's where we part ways.
As I disembark you sail away, hey,
Into the endless ocean
I'll be okay, hey,
Sail on and don't look back for me.
Sail on and don't look back for me.
And Helmsman,
Won't you steer this vessel true?
But when you find the new world,
Won't you build your life anew?
Because I'll drag you down, so you better burn your ships.
I want you to be happy, and make the most of it.
As I disembark you sail away, hey,
Into the endless ocean
I'll be okay, hey,
Sail on and don't look back for me.
Sail on and don't look back for me.
As I disembark you sail away, hey,
Into the endless ocean
I'll be okay, hey,
Sail on and don't look back for me.
Sail on and don't look back for me.
Sail on and don't look back for me
Sail on and don't look back for me
Sail on and don't look back for me
Sail on and don't look back for me
Sail on and don't look back for me....

Icarus Is Dead
04:06
|
|||
I've been wasting all my time
I've been walking down the borderline
Between my body and my head
Expect the worst hope for the best
Fear is building on my regrets
Between the blankets and my bed
Above the earth and all the stars
Wondering how I got so far
Wondering how I'll get back down
But I flew too close to the sun,
Now there's nowhere left to run
I fall back to barren ground
Tell your friends that Icarus Is Dead
Grappling with the things he never said
And as he's falling down
He drops his thorny crown
And he will never get back up again
And Daedalus your cross to bare
was just to know that you were there
As your son fell from the sky
And no there's nothing that you can do
As Freedom Fooled your eager youth
The Labyrinth so far behind
Above the earth and all the stars
Wondering how I got so far
Wondering how I'll get back down
But I flew too close to the sun,
Now there's nowhere left to run
I fall back to barren ground
Tell your friends that Icarus Is Dead
Grappling with the things he never said
And as he's falling down
He drops his thorny crown
And he will never get back up again
Tell your friends that Icarus Is Dead
Grappling with the things he never said
And as he's falling down
He drops his thorny crown
And he will never get back up again

One Thousand Rivers
02:57

They're not as clever as they would
Like to think
Your ship has problems, and yeah soon
It's gonna sink
I've seen crosses, and I've seen losses
Now my grip is slipping away
Here's the thing when all is said and done,
There is nothing left to say
I've crossed One Thousand Rivers
Just to find my home
And now that I've arrived I've found I am alone
I've traveled many Countries here is what I see
I've cackled while in shackles at the though of being free
Why drink this water from my hand
Why do you not understand?
I got nothing, I'll be damned
Nothing inside says yes I can
I am saddened and then enraged
I'm just a rat stuck in a cage
Learning lessons day by day
Living life, all the way
I've crossed One Thousand Rivers
Just to find my home
And now that I've arrived I've found I am alone
I've traveled many Countries here is what I see
I've cackled while in shackles at the though of being free

Not Worried Anymore

Goodbye Ocean Town,
Gonna find my way out of The Sound
Gonna go and find my own way now
Into the summer sky
Into the autumn breeze
My future comes with golden leaves
But the wind is still now carrying me
Effortless in flight
But the winter's fast approaching
Bringing bitter cold
And as the days keep getting shorter
The mountains are growing old
I've had my fun at twenty one
I'll be cut loose at twenty two
I'll cease to be at twenty three
and and twenty four I'm a memory no more
Farewell mountain home,
Gonna find my way out of the snow
One day I'll stop feeling all alone
When the whole world is right here
And farewell doubt and pride
you're the reason that I stayed behind
It's finally time I said goodbye
To all my troubles and my fears
But the ocean tides are turning
Bringing on the waves
But I am surfing on the current
I am not afraid
I've had my fun at twenty one
I'll be cut loose at twenty two
I'll cease to be at twenty three
and and twenty four I'm a memory no more
I've had my fun at twenty one
but I'm not through at twenty two
I'll still be me at twenty three
and at twenty four, I'm Not Worried Anymore.

Against The Odds

Here's to you
Mom and Dad
for giving me the best you had
Despite my consistent disappointments
I will try and make this worth it to you
The friends I met
At the school I won't forget
I am sorry for my needing talking but now it's time I start my walking
And you may not know I've gone
But I will miss you anyways no matter what goes on
And this is not a Goodbye Song
It's a see you soon after I've moved on
This is not a farewell now
I'll keep in touch from my new home town
And here's to you,
My memories
You make it hard
For me to see
And here's to you
My self doubt
I'm finally gonna take you down
Here's to you
My love and joy
I am not your play toy
I am mine and mine alone
I'm happy now I'm not going home
And you may not know I've gone
But I will miss you anyways no matter what goes on
And this is not a Goodbye Song
It's a see you soon after I've moved on
This is not a farewell now
I'll keep in touch from my new home town
And this is not a Goodbye Song
It's a see you soon after I've moved on
This is not a farewell now
I'll keep in touch from my new home town

Fruit Fly

Fruit Fly go away
You're not wanted here today
Find another garbage pail
The hummingbird will chew you up
Spit you out and you'll become
Just another way to fail
Can you see her crying eyes
Can you see the works of art?
The Van Goghs and DaVincis left right here?
Can you see Harlem's broken heart?
Can you see them painted gold?
Can you see the living proof?
Mozart's finest work can't hold a candle
Next to the busker's broken tune
Fruit Fly go away
You're not wanted here today
Find another garbage pail
The hummingbird will chew you up
Spit you out and you'll become
Just another way to fail
Fruit Fly go away
You're not wanted here today
Find another garbage pail
The hummingbird will chew you up
Spit you out and you'll become
Just another way to fail

When I Get There
03:31

Remember when we looked upon the sky?
Dreamed up lives in four years time
Naturally, I woke up
And I'm not sure exactly what to do
Should I drift off or wake you too?
Should I tell you goodbye?
And the very smile upon my face
Brings you sadness I can't explain
Tears fall down I end another day
I force a grin and say I'm okay
But I'm not okay
And do you remember
Seeing me?
In a puddle
Of my own defeat?
Do you remember giving chase
To someone you thought that you could save?
But things didn't work that way
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know when I get there
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know when I get there
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know when I get there
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know when I get there
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know when I get there
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know when I get there
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know when I get there
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know when I get there

Parasitic
05:42
|

I don't know
How I'm different
I don't know
Why I need help
I'm afraid
To get consistent
I'm afraid
Of getting well
Because my medicine's just a pill in the morning
I'm a detriment I'll be gone without warning
I'm a parasite on the hearts of my only friends
So I'll play guitar and I'll sing without sorrow
I just hope it's enough to get me to tomorrow
I'm a parasite
Maybe I can make amends
I don't know
why I'm secluded
I don't know why I'm afraid
I'm afraid I've got delusions
I'm afraid I'll never change
Because my medicine's just a pill in the morning
I'm a detriment I'll be gone without warning
I'm a parasite on the hearts of my only friends
So I'll play guitar and I'll sing without sorrow
I just hope it's enough to get me to tomorrow
I'm a parasite
Maybe I can make amends
You don't know
Why I'm trying
You don't know
I can change
One day I'll climb
Out of the chrysalis
One day I'll climb
One day I'll change.
