Boom Boom

I got a broken heart
I had to have removed
and placed in a jar
and every night
when I turn out the lights
I hear it go boom boom
I got a worried mind
I should have drugged
or lobotomized
for all the times
when I think to much
I hit the ground with a boom boom
Star torn hearts
lost before it got a chance to start
I remember the sound of you
like a rush
left a taste that lingered for too long
I will wait for the magic
And now since you've been gone
I don't use my lungs
I never lose my breath
it's the same cold one
since the day that you left
an echo of boom boom
Star torn hearts
couldn't keep hold in the start
I believe in the sound of us
like a rush
still looking for the one I've lost
I will wait for the magic
no matter where you are
I whisper to the moon
hoping you'll get the call
and all the sounds that
cry out in the night
I hear you in the boom boom

Grand Opening

Won’t let it cool me out
Won’t let it back me off
Cannot tell you why
I have got to run
Stuck in the headlights
On the longest road
Don’t try to call me out
Or find where I have gone
But you wear the butterfly
I got the remote control
And when you walk on by
I will turn you on
Take all of your things
But do not take your thoughts
You think of my hands
I’ll think of your touch
This is no goodbye
just a distance to obey
We move just like water
Even when we go down in flames

Hollywood Hills

With a crash at the door
She fell into my arms
Out of the fires burning down
the Hollywood hills
She wore a torn-up couture
Matched the soot on her face
I wet my t-shirt to wipe the grey away
Oh, the lights are shining on her
And the camera loves to roll
but me… my lips have an owner and I’d
Be so apologetical I’d have to explode
In our invisible Inch
She comes to with a sigh
I wear a benefit
that’s hard to hide
though she says it’s alright
But my heart has its pride
The queen of the screen and the beast
from the streets who sings
Oh, the lights are shining on you
And the camera loves to roll
But me my lips have an owner and
I’d be so apologetical I’d have to explode
this town’s burning down
& the smoke in your head
will eat you up
oh, well I guess you know the Hollywood Hills
So the lights are shining on ya and the camera loves to roll
But me… my lips have an owner
and I’d be so apologetical I’d have to explode
You might not get it cuz we come from two different worlds
I kinda got it good and you’re just a face on a wall

Eliza

The day woke up to violence
I caught my shoelace in the sunset
and I tripped throughout the morning
By now you know
My pistol was never loaded
But bullets hit the air
and they found another man
and he hit the ground.
So let me catch my breath
And before you start crying
Turn off the television and hear me out
Hey Eliza, I’ll love you till I’m bones
But I can’t stick around here anymore
any minute now they’ll come
crashing down our door
So grab what you need
we got to go
What’d you think would happen?
When the bills are going north
The work is going south
And we’re running out
But freedom’s in my failures,
as I check myself for holes
And I’m crawling over glass,
I realize.
Hey Eliza, I’ll love you till I’m bones
But I can’t stick around here anymore
any minute now they’ll come
crashing down our door
So grab what you need we’ve got to go.
I will find you a diamond in Mexico.

Undone

I’m a chemical
It is natural
No need to be alarmed
I’m re-actable
a troubled soul
I Smile to keep you fooled you know
But beneath the table is a soul
From the top you’ll never know
Think of all the damage that I’ve done
That I’ll never hear of
But every seed comes from the dark
Tonight, I don’t need no one
Let me be undone
I bit my lip
Until it bled red
And poured upon the floor
So when I slip and crack
my head at least it’s then I know
just what I’m I dying for
You know you do it too.
Beneath the table is the toll
From the top you’ll now
Think of all the damage that you’ve done
That you never hear of
But every seed comes from the dark
So tonight, I don’t need no one
Let me be undone
Think of all the damage that we’ve done
That we’ll never hear of
But every seed comes from the dark now
So tonight, I don’t need no one
Tonight I don’t need anyone
Let me be undone
Let me be undone

Good To Me
04:02
|

|
Your mothers’ washboard
on the kitchen door
She took it down
and laid you out
and raked you over it
All her of venom found
its way through your walls
it’s on your tongue
it’s in your eyes
And it’s exploding there
But Darlin’ how come you’re so good to me?
When I know it don’t come easily
How come you’re so good to me
The jack of hearts
is all up in your hair
He’s got a smile
that goes a mile
& yours is in there
I got a chute
just like a tattered flag
& I’m going down
I know you’ll catch me
when you’ve landed.
But Darlin how come you’re so good to me?
When I know it don’t come easily
How come you’re so good to me
You caught me crawling
across the finish line.
The crowds are gone,
the sun has carried
off the victor
You stand composed
just like a rusted sign
With bullet holes,
faded words and slightly leaning
And Darlin how come you’re so good to me?

Bi-Polar Baby
04:12

Ya, you’re a monster
Don’t try to convince me otherwise
And ya, you’re an angel
But one of you will not survive
And what’s the matter now?
Did you not get what you wanted
Bipolar baby
Do you even notice me here
I’m your coyote
Chewed my arm off to be here
And what’s the matter now?
Did you not get what you wanted
You’re not the only one who’s lonely
With bows in your hair and a pony ride
This day comes around only
Once a year so lets do it right
You’re not he only one who’s lonely
With all of your pieces not fitting tight
But this day comes around only
To blow out some candles so lets do it right
A shame it takes some many tears
to empty half your cup and
when you’re talking to yourself
You control the conversation
Bi polar baby
Wait till you hear what I made you.

Yesterday's Gone
04:48

You paint your body red
But you’ll always be the shadow
that you’re hiding in
And all the things you’ve said
You never add them up
Before you pay for it
Beside you now, but not for long
Do you know that your
Yesterday’s Gone
So why do you hang on
When it’s over
And when we could be stars
Why do you hang on
When it is over.
I know there are waves that you can take
The ones you can’t just wash over anyway
All the ones that break before they reach your face
You’ll find another way
We’re crashing down and pulling out
Your demise it gets no rest
You use your will
to chase the moon all night
You lost our audience
Without applause
They walk away all right.
Do you know that your
Yesterday’s gone
So why do you hang on
When it’s over
And when we could be stars
Why do you hang on
When it’s over
I want our names in the sky
I want our names in the sky

Dear Grace

Dear Grace, why did you leave me
With no luck & hard out of steam
I just thought you’d speak to me
One more time before I find the world all cold
Dear dad, did you hear me
Scream out until my lungs bleed
I’m so lost inside a dream
I just thought you’d have a song
To guide me home
Dear Ma
Did you see me
So high, I could hardly breathe
And when it falls from under me
You maybe the only one
who knows I’m gone
This hit the ground running kind of life
Has got me running fast out of breath
To my friend with head made of stone
Tell St. Jude
I’m waiting.
dear love
Why did you fool me
Am I so blind
and easy to please
I just want someone beside me
But you maybe the only one
I know no more
