I’m sorry for what I said. It doesn’t matter what I Meant to say cause what you heard is all that matters Woke up late I saw you leaving To make some money I don’t know about you But I been feeling funny I see you staying, baby I don’t know the reasons And I need to know!!! What you waiting around here for, baby? What you sitting around here for, sister? What you hanging around here for, baby? What you sitting around here for? Oh what are you waiting here for? Got your mama Got your sister Got your best friend But they don’t’ know about me What were you thinking? So go on, take some time to look around And tell me what you want Cause I need to know!!! What you hanging around here for, baby? What you sitting around here for, sister? What you waiting around here for, baby? What you sitting around here for? Oh what are you waiting here for? I can’t see inside your heart But I see it see in your eyes I’ve been here awhile So if you don’t want to try Then I need to know!!!!! What you waiting around here for, baby? What you sitting around here for, sister? What you sitting around here for, baby? What you hanging around here for? Oh what are you waiting here for?

Hey I like You! I like you! Got you on my mind yeah now what we gonna do? And oh I know it! It’s so true You’re the only one and I should be with you But still I’m feeling sad. I’m feeling so blue I watched you walk away and no it’s nothing new And I don’t wanna break no hearts I’ve been there, baby I’ve been holding on To work it out Still I can’t stand here hoping, waiting,wasting all my time! Hey I saw it! I saw you! Saw you coming back now what we gonna do? And if you want it, well take two You can have it all, baby, it’s all you And though I wanna be with you I see through All your reservations, I got mine too And not that I don’t think you’re smart I know you’re smart Don’t mean disrespect I respect you Still I can’t stand here hoping, waiting, wasting all my time! I sit around and wonder how we got so far I don’t why it matters, girl, cause now you’re gone Still I wanna be your man I can’t go without You can be my girl We can work it out Think we got a chance gonna make it now Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah! But you’re still gone I didn’t really know that we were gonna fall apart You’re still gone I thought that we would make it now I see you walking out You’re still gone Baby I can feel it, oh I really feel it now You’re still gone And now I’ve got to make it…yeah I’ll make it by myself.

You pretty much live at my house People think that we’re going out I call you everyday and you call me everyday too You want to keep me at bay I know the games you play But I was acting a fool I’m still in love with you...I do. I’ve tried it twice before And you walked right out the door But now that you’re back here My feelings reappear And though I’ve tried to suppress this You're still my only attraction And while you need to look outside All I want is before me And while you need to look outside All I want is before my eyes All I want is before my eyes All I want is before my eyes Kimberly I feel like I’m living inside out You are my best friend, baby But I was lying to myself That I don’t love you…I do It’s not an option for my heart I tried to turn it off But when you beat me on the cart I knew that this was love And while I’ve tried to reject this I guess you can't choose your distractions And while you look for other guys All I want is before me Yeah while you look for other guys All I want is before my eyes All I want is before my eyes All I want is before my eyes Kimberly And if you find that you’re all alone I’m there with you, baby And every night when we’re on the phone I want to share with you That friendship’s fine, but I lost time When I fell for you And while I choose this abuse yeah It’s time I cut myself loose yeah I’m breaking up with my best friend And she don’t even know it Oh I’ve gone and blown it today And while you need to look outside All I want is before me And while you look for other guys All I want is before me Yeah while you need to look outside All I want is before my eyes All I want is before my eyes All I want is before my eyes Kimberly! Kimberly! Kim! Oh Kim. Oh Kim! Oh Kim Kim Kim Kim Kimberly...

Benjy, man, you are such a tease Tapping on my face with a bottle of v. I'm so drunk can’t support my own back I wanna be a hero, but I cannot relax now Oh man I was part of the dream Found me in the coat room I was dead on the scene Laid up in the bathroom face in the can I want to be your lover, but I can’t be your man, girl And if you see me in the stairway facing down Baby, leave me there I’m ok…I’m ok And I'll be, I’ll be on the tiles on my knees And you can throw in the shower for 3 days Screaming Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Leave me out, leave me out till l I come down I was there saw it all up your sleeve Call up Dr Apple and he cannot believe it Face is turning blue. Is that normal reaction? I want to live tomorrow, but I can’t see my hands, no Can’t talk, but I hear all the voices All these kids in my head making noises One more shot and I think I’ll relax I wanna be a fighter, baby I’m coming back now! And if you see me out on Locust falling down Must be residual poison in my blood And baby, I’ll be the tiles on my knees You can throw me in the shower for 3 days Screaming Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Leave me out…leave me out..I'm screaming Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Benjy you don’t know me Leave me out...leave me out till I come down

Driving up to Providence I saw you cry Sun was beating down on me When you said I I can’t lie Waiting for my moment now But nothing’s right You might want to call us friends But I’ll still try Cause I can’t lie And Adelaide I’m holding on Cause I waited here for you for such a long time And you’ll still be the only one But if you need to go I don’t know if I will still be waiting here for you If I’ll be waiting here for you Driving back from Providence I saw you smile Baby, I know that we going to make it now Somehow We can now We can now

Necrophilia (free) 04:43

Lying in your bed Wondering why I haven’t even slept. And you are not responding to your name. I’m still in love with your remains We were so in love, but now I’m feeling creeped out Maybe I’m naive...I think we can still go out You’re as cold as ice and I’m a little nervous I checked the windows twice. I’ve drawn all the curtains. We’re so different. I’m alive and you’re dead. Necrophilia is fucking with my head And I don’t know why I’m feeling this way I’m not so sure that this is right..I keep holding you. And you don’t want to leave you’ll never say that but I know it to be true yeah I know it to be true because You’re still here I’m still here too yeah I bought you flowers Your favorite dozen roses I hope you enjoy them Before you decomposes I can't quit you, girl, just like Gyllenhaal said Necrophilia is fucking with my head And I don’t know why I’m feeling this way. I’m not so sure that this is right, but I keep holding you You don’t want to leave you’ll never say that but I know it to be true yeah I know it to be true because You’re still here I’m still here....too yeah!

Nan, I was a baby when you were growing older Yeah, it wouldn’t seem that we are meant to be Now I always wanted a girl Just like you, Nan Please won’t you take me away? Away with you Oh Nan, I was lonely boy till I met you, baby You tried to sell me Dali, but I had no money Now I always needed a girl Just like you, Nan Please won't you take me away? I’ll stay with you! Oh you found the key to my heart When I saw you dealing art You found the key to my soul Now it’s all for you, Nan. It’s all for you!!! Locked up in the bathroom There ‘s no cocaine there This ain’t the eighties, Nan I know it’s hard to stay so composed When you’re feeling colder yeah I’ll take you on my knees If we could be together, baby, uh oh!

In My Dreams (free) 04:01
lyrics

I'm all alone in a palm tree And there's a riot Right below me And it's flooding And my ship's crashing in a river that not too deep I'm in my house, but it looks like my old school I'm on a train, and my bed's in there too And it's so normal, but different as can be I'm swimming laps around you cause I’ve got gills to breath And In my dreams, I'm flying like superman who made the whole world turn and stop time In my dreams, I'm driving a spaceship that looks like my mom's Buick so cool In my dreams, I'm always a giant who speaks in tongues and lives in a pool In my dreams, I'm always with you. I'm always with… I'm on the phone Then I'm on tv Watching myself Got reserved seating I'm in my house...my bed's a waterfall I'm on the ship..it's bigger than the mall But it’s so normal but separate from me I'm flying over your head cause there's no gravity And In my dreams, I'm fighting my new boss…he heals like wolverine he seems fine In my dreams, I never get older and everything's in colors so bright In my dreams, I'm chased by evangelists who try and make me eat all their rules And In my dreams, I'm always with you. I'm always with you. And in my dreams, I'm flying like superman made the whole world turn and stop time In my dreams, I'm driving a spaceship that looks like my mom's Buick still cool In my dreams, I'm always a giant who speaks in tongues and lives in a pool But in my dreams, I'm always with you. I'm always with you.

I’m a hatchet I’ve been bleeding the trees I’m a woman down on my knees I’m a carpenter fighting the fleas Fucking fleas I’m a dancer I been dancing the streets I’m a fighter I been feeling weak I’m a joker I just lost my keys Found my keys…that’s a joke yeah When I’m home gonna see the kids Gonna party till I can’t lift my lids But I’m a liar they think I’m legit Telling fibs Setting mommy’s mind at ease Thinks I’m making money, money from trees But I’m a loser with overdraft fees Begging please…please please yeah The way you hold your head up Girl I know you’re fed up. I left my bleeding heart upon your porch And when I came back for it You had just destroyed it You stood there laughing while you burned it up And I can’t tell…..do you love me or you hate me? I can see you I can see you standing there But I don’t know you When your friends are all around And you’ve been crying Crying while you tore me down And I’ve been thinking it’s time I end it now And I can’t take it I can’t take it anymore. And I don’t want what you’re selling anymore Take me home! Take me home! Take me home!

Severance Pay (free) 05:52
lyrics

It’s seven thirty the alarm goes off I know I should awake But it’s depressing when you have no one no way to spend your day And you’re fulfilling all your fears and you’ve chosen it this way Still I’m hoping that I find you in a better state It’s feeling hotter while the sun is rising somewhere past my door I feel so guilty that I stay inside can’t take it anymore And even though I have no patience I know that this won’t last Without a season it’s so hard to know that time has passed I waited on your call and nearly fell asleep I’m worried now You said it’s complicated I’m not sure it’s different when you Had to make your way across uncharted seas you feel alone And no this feeling isn’t new in fact it’s getting old A million fireflies are only coming after you at night Put one in your mama’s mason jar so you can have some light And while a swarm of possibilities surrounds you tonight Choosing something will be better than remaining blind And it’s clear to me that the fire in your heart is burning out There are tears behind those smiles that you tout And while your severance pay is dwindling it’s almost running out There’s no time to stop and wonder what it’s all about A memory is stuck it's laying there asleep inside my head I’m climbing underneath a rock stuck between the crevasses And though I’ve been through hell before this is clearly foreign ground And there’s a screaming in my head and I can’t escape the sound The phone is ringing and it feels so far away I’m disengaged I’ve stopped answering because you’ve nothing interesting to say If it’s important there will be a message waiting there for me I’m looking forward to it I can use the company And all your Facebook friends they never seem to me to make the grade You’ve got a million of them but you still don’t know any of their names And while you try to live inside the frame you’ve written for yourself It’s not an accurate reflection of what you have felt And it’s clear to me that the fire in your heart is burning out There are tears behind those smiles that you tout And still your severance pay is dwindling it’s almost running out There’s no time to stop and wonder what it’s all about
