Family Song

It's kind of funny how we planned out our entire lives
so we don't end up just like our mom and dad
and when we have our children, they will grow up to be
some stupid kids who don't appreciate what they have.
That's what spoiling your kid means:
by giving them all of the good things
except your love.
When will you ever learn that this is what you're all about?
Moving city to city, house to house
and looking for a husband in the worst of places.
Now you're looking for a place to stay...
I was right about you all the time,
knowing very well that you were crossing lines.
What's a family anyway other than people with the same DNA?

Don't make me fly away to another secret place
where we have to hide our love from people,
mainly strangers
And I don't care what people say anymore,
I am only concerned with the day I'm losing,
the day I'm using to hide away from here.
What do you expect of me?
I am only a child of 18, you are 26
and you seem more like a child than me
because you ask such stupid questions:
"Why are we here?"
"What is our purpose and our reasoning?"
We're losing jobs and our family and
"Why do we conform with other people and their trendy fads?"
and why we never met our dads.
Well, he lost a bet and now he had to go away for a while.
It doesn't matter anyway, we're all grown up, it's all okay.
Just open up your eyes and see that
this is the life you lead and if you don't like it,
do something about it, don't just sit there on your ass all day
and whine to me that this isn't where you want to be.
Maybe you should go away or maybe you just need a break.
Don't worry, I will be here in the morning.

Gloomy
01:31
|
|||
|
I will not miss this place,
I will not miss the cold
but I will miss your face
and I will miss your hold.
It's gloomy on this bridge,
it's gloomy in this room.
Your face is on my fridge,
I lost you way too soon.
Everything just moved too fast, it's hard to tell
what's accident or not but I know deep down
you're thinking this was all my fault.

RE: Come See Me
02:42
|
|||
|
You message me,
it says "come see me"
and I respond "Why?"
"I want to talk about the time that you had disappeared,
the time you said you loved me and then I'd never hear from you."
I know that I had said those things.
Well, listen, I have said them many times before.
I guess I do it without thinking of the consequence,
knowing I will hurt somebody, knowing that nevertheless
I don't care about you anymore.
And I'm a pile of so many contradictions,
I don't know where to start and I don't know how to live
with you in my life, I need you so far from my life
that I can't think straight, I can't see straight, I'm never straight,
I can't keep up straight.
And I know this sounds wrong but
doesn't it sound so much better in a song?

The Homeless Man
03:13
|

|
Coming off the freeway, I see a homeless man
and he waves at me.
It's so peaceful in his eyes and when he dies
will he be remembered by these people that give him
change from their cars?
Nothing compares to what he's been through.
No one knows you best just like I do.
I look at you, it's like I know you from someplace else
when you were better than who you are, my friend.
I want to give you everything that I own
and give you one big hug and let you know
that you are better than this, you can make it better,
you will be remembered in my heart, you'll stay.
And I am hearing your cries at last, knowing you're okay
cause they are tears of happiness, peace and joy,
what I saw in your eyes.

Everybody Knows
04:16
|
|||
|
I know I've fucked up before but everything is just
gonna end like it was before.
Everybody says that I am wasting my time.
And everybody knows that I am very paranoid.
I'm very claustrophobic and everybody knows it,
yet they get closer and closer until they know I can't take it.
No more! I just shut my eyes, turn the light off, turn my iPod on
and close the door 'cause if the door is wide open
I feel like I am falling and everybody knows it
'cause everybody's falling
to the floor because you lost your fucking mind
and all your fucking sense inside the war
and everybody knows that I am always happy
and if you didn't know that, well now I guess you know that.
I know I've fucked up before but let me do this for you,
just let me do this once more, make up for what I did
'cause I did everything to you and to all of my friends:
I'm sorry that I ever caught up with you guys again.
I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you, Dad.
I'm sorry that I hurt you,
I'm sorry that I went too far.
I'm sorry that we made up
and let you borrow the keys to my car.
I'm sorry that I hurt you,
I guess I was just immature.
I'm sorry that I slept with you.
That night was perfect--
not so much anymore.

Life Was Easy
06:22
|
|||
|
I know that I will meet somebody new
and I know that somebody just might be you.
I don't want to rush, I don't want to mess things up
because I really like you now,
even if it means lying in the grass of your apartment
complex while we're
listening to baby-mama drama down the road.
I heard you like to write!
Well, darling I am the same way
and when you ordered your Iced Soy Chai I fainted.
We talked about the Willow House,
we talked about Conspire
and the downtown scene.
I really hope it's meant to be and if it isn't meant to be,
at least I know that I have a friend somewhere in this world.
I know that I don't know you well
but I want to try to know you well.
I liked it better when life was easy and now we're getting older
and things aren't easy.
I wish that I was more naive.
I wish that I could just believe that life was good.
We don't like our families,
and we don't agree with everything.
What the hell is wrong? Why can't I just leave?
What the hell is wrong? I just want to be with someone!

I Know You
04:30
|
|||
|
I understand your problems.
I understand how you must feel,
but don't make this any harder.
You will only lose what is real.
What do you know about this world?
This is all that you've ever known
and this is not what you want to hear,
but I drive around to find a home.
I know that you are hurting
and I know that I will make it worse.
These questions we ask ourselves
are not important, they just hurt.

The Devil Is My Friend
03:51
|
|||
|
I've done enough, I've worked my way up high
but yet I feel so low.
I see my reflection beneath the waterfall
and I will take my consequences for my actions, for my fall.
And I want to be famous so later I can just complain
that everybody knows my secrets.
My biggest secret is I never wanted fame,
I just wanted to get out of here!
Listen to all my advice, I'm dying slowly,
slowly dying! I will not put up a fight
without you here right by my side.
I will not be able to teach you everything I know,
just let the devil in and he will tell you where to go.
Now he's inside you controlling every single move.
Just don't believe him when he says that I am gone,
he's gonna want you,
he's gonna lie and take your life away from here!

My Name is Ian Tomas
03:21
|
|||
|
You're the devil in my soul.
I tried to push you all the way.
What part of no don't you understand?
'Cause if I loved you anymore I'd be holding your hand.
You took the patience, you took the land
and you took my laughter from my hands.
I loved you then and now but mainly then.
I just can't love you anymore, it's just not who I am.
DON'T YOU MAKE THIS ALL ABOUT YOU...
You're the devil that I love.
I wish we had more self-control.
I'll give you a name, I'll make you my own.
I'll give you a name and give you a home.
