Imaginary Friend

Count to 20, we're playing hide and seek,
you were a friend to me.
Now I'm searching underneath my veiled pride,
to find out why you're hiding.
We were untouchable,
Indestructible,
like houses built for hurricanes.
Just like your Birkenstocks,
I thought you would be around for a while,
but you're gone.
(chorus)
So, how am I supposed to reconcile?
What should I change?
How am I supposed to reconcile
with my imaginary friend?
My imaginary friend.
Oh
Now I'm untouchable,
I have my own set of rules.
I don't need you to tell me who I am,
who I am, who I am.
I know I'm walking on a tight rope,
but I don't need you for balance anymore.
I don't need you
to know that I am real.
(chorus 2x)

What have we done?
This started out as a good thing.
Now we are stone,
we are the future of the galaxy.
There's been so much I can say
that I cannot begin, but
there's one truth in my heart
that I have yet to break--
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
(chorus)
I remember us,
and I remember then,
yeah, I remember way back when,
and I love you. Oh, yes,
I love you still,
as a friend.
Do you recall the time,
when we'd talk for hours?
We had a connection I'll never understand,
it didn't matter how we fought,
it only mattered when it'd end.
Well, now we share a scar,
we are who we are,
and the moon won't die,
and the sun won't dim,
but you'll never leave my mind,
no you'll never leave my mind
(chorus)
We were two of a kind,
we had one mind,
and now that's all turned to dust,
but I love you,
oh yes I love you still,
as a friend.
And I'm still sorry,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

Marco Polo
02:57
|
|||
|
The state of the world
is open to interpretation.
Every day, we move around,
trying to find a revelation.
It seems to me I go through life
with one eye open,
the snowflakes that are falling,
they are blurring out my vision.
..So what's my excuse
to stare up at the sky,
and hope to die, and always wonder
why I cried when the stars
were clear to vision?
(chorus)
Oh, I am in a blindfold,
playing Marco Polo for my future-
so get ready, human kind,
I'm your new blurry eyed
pupil.
The clock it always moves
slower than I envision,
it seems to me that my desires
don't include solutions.
But what is there to do in life
besides fulfill expectation?
One day, my eyes will be dry,
and I can answer that question.
..So what's your excuse?
Are you as free as I to wonder why,
and do your best to understand revision?
(chorus)
I'm your new blurry eyed pupil.

Consequences

Dear God, I have a confession to make.
I have been, lately, playing with fate.
The heavenly gift that you sent to me,
I don't believe that he is in my reach.
Dear Mother Earth, my apologies to you,
for I've tainted your soil with riddled cigarette truths.
I am defeated, I am confused,
I am a sad, sad, sad, sad song written for you.
(chorus)
So, punish me, just take away my amenities
Just let me be, put me on the fucking plane.
Dear Poseidon, I hope my expectations are clear,
and that you're stirring up a storm,
with me in mind.
Just wash away my angels,
and I'll give you my heart.
and, Dear Apollo, if you don't mind,
clean up the mess that we leave behind.
It's also imperative, if you have time,
to corner me and rob me of my sight.
(chorus 2x)
Oh, love of mine,
we've woven a silk so fine.
Oh, love of mine,
this fabric is weak,
so is time.
So, for now I fly.
So, for now I fly.

Letting Go
03:45

You have family out here,
but you still have no concept
of how much it snows.
It gets so lonely out here,
and I just miss you,
but you knew that, I guess.
Don't worry, baby,
where you're going,
you'll come back with a sun tan.
(chorus)
Well, I am glad be of service,
I'm sorry I overflowed.
I could have made you happy,
but you're not ready for that.
So, I guess you're happy,
you got me off your back.
I will no longer throw my pebbles
at your shell.
I know we were not meant to be,
but I know that you can't look me in the eye,
and tell me you feel nothing for me.
