Ever and a Day
Lie in comfort of sweet calamity with nothing left to lose. Like in the darkness, I'm slowly drowned to sleep nothing left to lose. Three tears I've saved for you. I'd retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives behind me. So I lie in this field bathed in the light that loves me, with nothing left to lose. Three tears I've saved for you. Will you be my beloved? Will you help me to get through? Will you be my destruction? Will you help me to be through?
Mother and Father
There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed I'd live forever
There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice
Nobody else would ever take the place of you
Nobody else could do the things that you could do
No one else I guess could hurt me like you did
I didn't understand, I was just a kid
Bridge:
Oh mother, why aren't you here with me
No one else saw the things that you could see
I'm trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father, you know I'm not so free
Chorus:
I've got to give it up
Find somone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
I've got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed I'd live forever
?There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice
Bridge
Chorus
My mother died when I was five
And all I did was sit and cry
I cried and cried and cried all day
Until the neighbors went away
They couldn't take my loneliness
I couldn't take their phoniness
My father had to go to work
I used to think he was a jerk
I didn't know his heart was broken
And not another word was spoken
He became a shadow of
The father I was dreaming of
I made a vow that I would never need
Another person ever
Turned my heart into a cage
A victim of a kind of rage
I gotta give it up
(repeat twice)
Chorus
Find somone that I can care for
Find someon that I can care for
I've got to give it up
(repeat 5 times)
I've got to let it go
I've got to give it up
Oh mother, oh father
I've got to give it up
I gotta give it up
(repeat 6 times)
Don't Tell Me
Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
'Cause you said so, mmm
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time, no, no
Let it fall by the way
But don't leave me where I lay down
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
(first time)But please don't tell me to stop
(all other times)But don't ever tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turn
But dont' ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
Take the black off a crow
But don't tell me I have to go
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on it's knees
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
(first time)But please don't tell me to stop
(all other times)But don't ever tell me to stop
(chorus, prefixing 1st and 3rd with "don't you ever")
(Don't you ever)
Please don't
Please don't
Please don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever)
Don't you ever
Don't you ever tell me to stop
(Tell the rain not to drop)
Tell the bed not to lay
Like a open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
Pencil Fight
This life spreads like cancer as nothing here is real.
Leave me here by the bus stop with my pencil made of steel.
So it's time. It's just time...
Well I'm not much for the classroom teacher teach me if you care.
I can't pay much attention with that ruler in your hand.
So it's just time.
Cause I'm thinkin' Pencil fight, here we are.
Pencil fight, break me down.
Well I'm not much for the schoolyard teacher catch me if you can.
Ya leave me here by the swing set with my pencil broke in hand.
Oh it's fine. Shattered shards of graphite as they're flying through the air.
I'll open eyes quite slowly with the splinters in my hair.
So it's time.
Cause I'm thinkin' Pencil fight, here we are. Pencil fight, break me down.
It's just time, oh my, oh my...
"In this world no one leaves alone.
For the only way we leave is in death and in death my friends ya leave with one thing and that one thing is pride.
And pride throughtout changes in time between the sky that you love to the ground that you hate.
Pride between everything that once was your pride, can never die."
Pencil fight, here we are. Pencil fight, break me down.
Don't you see we have problems here?
Problems here at my home.
