only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
horses dancing around my face
told myself that i'll be okay
only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
in the window to my soul
solitude, it can't make me whole
invitation was on its way
come and make a friend today
'mong the laughter, my face is still
i decide i don't fit the bill
one dude asks what's on my face
i say all i know to say
m'only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
horses dancing around my face
told myself that i'll be okay
only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
in the carousel, lost
can't find myself, tossed
aside when i ride
i'm dizzy i try
to regain focus
but i've lost all it
m'only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
horses dancing around my face
told myself that i'll be okay
only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
m'only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
leave the room to regain my face
all that's left to do here is pray
only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
only here for my lovers sake
in the carousel, lost
can't find myself, tossed
aside when i ride
i'm dizzy i try
to regain focus
but i've lost all it

i may be a rotten human
but im an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
i may be a rotten human
but im an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
i laze around the house all day
but you cant hold that against me
cuz im cute and small and fluffy
people who hate people love me
so
push the reservation till sunday
cuz i'm busy doing nothing
my civic duties are all above me
cuz the only doody is under my feet
i may be a rotten human
but im an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
i may be a rotten human
but im an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
so if you're a dog, come mosey round
come dawdle along with me
we have nowhere else to be
find me sleeping under 7 bedsheets
you might find it rather morbid
but to me it's just a thing
always never in such a hurry
doesn't help that im also a furry
so these
packaged cans of dog food so lurid
blue green and purple blurring
all this junk inside my body
glad my body didnt stop metabolizing at the measly age of seven years
i may be a rotten human
but im an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
i may be a rotten human
but im an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
an innocent puppy
so if you're a dog, come mosey round
come dawdle along with me
we have nowhere else to be
find me sleeping under 7 bedsheets
two dogs in the pound or in the house
id say it doesnt matter to me
but it very much matters to me
your knees arent as weak as you think
human knees are stronger than dogs' i think
and you're not a dog, you're a human being

Kitten

a trip to the pound to find a home
she's worried but she's full of hope
curiosity could sometimes get the best of her but
now she's strong as e-ever
she knows that the world is ruthless
she knows she will find the truth cuz this ain't it, this ain't it, this ain't it
with eyes the size of casseroles
she's beautiful, she can't grow old
she's got a lover by her side
as far as he knows, she'll never die
but the pound's for a brutal union
will she make it out by tuesday evening?
i can't say, i can't say
sometimes i can get in for a neverending call
but cats can't adopt each other i fear
don't forget, you land on your feet whenever you fall
just please don't break your legs my dear
but kitty's nine lives are not to be
glossed over or overlooked
she lays on her side just waiting for
her love to be accounted for
she scratches hearts into the ground
don't be afraid to make a sound dear
know no fear, know no fear
oh kitty, kitty, kitty sleep for the night
i'll send an angel to hold you tight
their words can't hurt you anymore
they'll leave their resignations at the door
they'll learn just what the truth is
that they can't just take your wigs, cuz that ain't it
that ain't it, that ain't it

Sober

a loss to take for a lifetime's worth
he seethes with disappointment
to tournaments to see what he's worth
bound to be disappointed
till then
take this L and hold it
don't toss your controller
you ain't paid for it
take the loss and hold it
you'd lost control, eh?
tell me when you're sober
a thousand losses for a hundred wins
you'd still had won a hundred
the past torments but the future gifts
you still have time to want it
till then
take this L and hold it
don't toss your controller
you ain't paid for it
take the loss and hold it
you'd lost control, eh?
tell me when you're sober
why remember everything you lost
yet forget what's important
it may seem petty but it's valid and such
just pick it up and hold it

Mercy For A Doll

hey
is there anyone there for me
is there anybody there for me
if youre anywhere just call
hey
does someone really wanna care for me
they tell me someone wants to care for me
am i really here at all
then a stranger walked up to my side
said he had for me a small surprise
beckoned, do you wanna look inside
was a pair of button eyes
he said i'd have them under one condition
lend the reins up unto me, my friend
you're too pained to struggle anymore
wasn't i the one you're calling for?
and i said
do you see me here
do you value me
can you tolerate my dual personality?
i dont wanna hurt anyone like ive hurt myself
if you wanna help someone then please go help yourself
say
he cannot hear me cuz my mouth is stitched
he put my heart inside a plastic bin
he stole my eyes and hasn't looked back since
but wait
why don't you turn your back when i'm torn up?
ain't it easier to just give up?
i just don't understand a thing
roughened as i was i didn't fight
a lens on my face for my blurry sight
these stubby paws can't grip with all
all the might within the world
he'd held my hand so i would not have to
i couldnt even if i wanted to
he placed his heart into my open chest
and said that all i need is rest
and i said
take a bit of me
take up all of me
im not in the mood of thinking logically
i dont really listen when im talking to myself
im scared of facing myself more than anybody else
hold a piece of me
hold a part of me
sew up all the stitches on my body
i dont really use my head when thinking bout my self
i guess i can admit that i might need somebody's help
but
together doesn't mean to be complete
he holds me gently in his palms so sweet
my body's clean but yet my minds asleep
sayyp
i would finally have space to breathe
undid the stitches on my taut mouth piece
but i'd forgotten how to speak

heart shocked fore it all goes dark
shocked hard cuz the springs weren't nuff
i'm just sayin'
you don't really wanna go so far
all i need is your arm to touch
i'm not worried, you got my back
see your face 'fore it all goes black
what remains?
still haven't lost my love for you
we'll go as far as you want us to
think loud 'fore it fades to red
feels better when i know you don't
feel the same
m'still in bed with my knees to my chest
will i ever get to see you again?
when i, fall i get up and try again
it's a wonder how i'm still alive
i'm in pain
don't think it'll last long this time
as long as you're still by my side
i'm not scared, just lost sometimes
i remember when you look in my eyes
that i'm safe
no one's ever gonna tear me down
why would someone wanna tear me down?
heart shocked fore it all goes dark
shocked hard cuz the springs weren't nuff
i'm just sayin'
you don't really wanna go so far
all this thought will split my head apart

Sleep Tight

i will not sleep till you do
you don't deserve to keep those thoughts inside
cause you and i
have one another
to confide
no need to smile for me
just wait until it passes
then you'll smile, honey, won't you?
just let it out on me
the pain may come in cycles
but not i, i'm always here with you
the heart will do what fits its shoe
there is not much else it knows to do
so i lend these thoughts of caring unto
my bride who's dressed in blue
the world can let her down sometimes it's
the nature of the world sometimes
it's okay you can come and hold my hand
we can always power through
but i wont sleep till you do
you don't deserve to keep those thoughts inside
cause you and i
have one another
to confide
no need to smile for me
just wait until it passes
then you'll smile, honey, won't you?
just let it out on me
the pain may come in cycles
but not i, i'm always here with you
no need to smile for me
just wait until it passes
then you'll smile, honey, won't you?
just let it out on me
the pain may come in cycles
but not i, i'm always here with you
when it's dark inside our room we
might not know just what to do cuz
everything we know, everything we have is
shrouded in the doom
but we've more than our sense of sight
i can hear your sparse breathing through the cold air of the night, i will hold you tight
cuz i know i still have you!
no need to smile for me
just wait until it passes
then you'll smile, honey, won't you?
just let it out on me
the pain may come in cycles
but not i, i'm always here with you
i, i'm always here with you
i, i'm always here with you

Feverish

i was eating burgers when the moon had turned orange
oh what a sight
isn't that nice?
the fries tasted good, but the soda was horrid
the pepsi was down
but the milkshakes were good
back on the road
driving home
from sd to sf
i saw a fox
atop a rock
in the moonlight
there are two ways
to see nonexistence
first there are dreams
then coincidence
if it weren't for your touch i
couldnt tell the difference
so small, in fact, we
shouldn't exist
but here we are
my hand in yours
our bodies are here but our minds in the sky
we saw a fox
atop a rock
in the moonlight
why was a fox
atop a rock
in the moonlight?
lets ask the fox
what's atop the rock
the rock
in the moonlight
