So Low 03:45
V1 Wake up alone remember what planet I’m on staring at the mask in the looking glass time and again seems that I will never win the face in the mirror ain’t looking back and it says Chorus I wish it would be five am forever The sun Rises above the cold cold ground And I’m so low I’ll be right there right there to chase it down V2 You’ll wake up alone I won’t call you on the telephone Cause I’m too caught up in self pitty And myself and myself And that’s just too bad you were the best thing that I’ve ever had the man in the mirror he just laughs and he says Chorus

Amanda Song 02:12
V1 Well I mourn in the morning Cause I woke up alone Though I still find your hair woven in my pillow I scorn myself Thinking about the final blow Amanda where did you go? V2 You should of let go my heart Before you walked away But we said everything that we had to say maybe we’ll be together again some day Amanda what do you say Chr Some people gonna sing the blues Amanda I got a different tune for you Some people gonna sing the blues Amanda not you

V1 Not like I want to spend my summer In these same black pants But I’m needing sympathy and I’m needing romance so I’m stepping out to Destinies Unknown Nothing turned out like I planned it It’s the story of my life So I’m stepping out to Destinies Unknown Chr All the rain in the world Couldn’t quench my desire to grow I’ve got all that I need right here under my hat all the tears that night couldn’t drown my heart and soul So I’m stepping out to Destinies Unknown V2 My parents warned me no one cares Guess I’ll find out the way that’s hard But when did idealism become Such a dirty dirty word Is it absurd to have romantic fantisies About the way things should be they can fool you but they can’t fool me Chr

Forever 03:48
I’m gonna love you forever Hold you in my arms while you’re asleep I hear the sky and it cries for me Watched you dream and feel you breath Cause when you awake we both will leave And when you told that little lie that lined with pines was the road to good bye and on the way home I saw all of your trees and it reminded me yes it reminded me Together we stand but soon we’ll part I can hear the cries of are broken hearts Shut the door after I kissed your hand Imagining you in some foreign land And all the churches that line the roads couldn’t conjure the faith for you I hold in a sacred place deep inside my soul that’s gonna love you forever Take our sun and warm that foreign sand Even if you’re in the hands of some foreign man Cause our ties will never be severed I’m gonna love you forever

Well I like whiskey and I like wine That’s why I drink it all the time That’s why some time it’s hard to drive That’s why it’s hard to stay alive But for you girl I will do my best Just rest your head on my chest As I smoke this cigarette And fall in love with you
6.
By My Side 04:03
I’m drowning in a sea Of incomplete ideas and case-less cd’s Desperately searching for my patience Smothered by all of your obligations And that makes me frustrated Makes me blame everything else and Makes me say that I hate it But you You still stick By my side Every day or night But you You still stick by my side But soon you will be gone I wish I could grant every wish Serve it to you on a golden dish at least until you broke my back now you got my heart and won’t give it back But you You still stick By my side Every day or night But you You still stick by my side But soon you will be gone That makes me frustrated Makes me blame everything else And then I say that I hate it

So Alone 03:11
When you’re feeling so alone You got no one to call your own And you’d love to come along And you’d love to take her home When no one calls on the phone And your skins hanging off your bones When you’re feeling so alone When you’re feeling so alone You don’t have any friends But they’d love to come along And they’d love to make amends You’d love to be her man But you don’t know where to stand When you’re feeling so alone I don’t want to feel that way again My troubles never end When you’re feeling so alone You trap yourself in a hole You’d love to hold on You’d love to keep control You didn’t fall from the grace of good You’re just misunderstood

Supposed to be sober but the walls are still breathing and if they could talk they would tell me you’re leaving If I ever listened I might believe them too Roll me over My heart is bleeding too Roll over baby still love you Bar tender serve me one more So I can wake up on the floor My wallet empty My head split in two Roll me over My heart bleeds for you Roll over baby you love me too It’s been four years and I’ve failed to realize Soon you’ll be gone No surprise Supposed to be sober but the world’s still turning my money is getting spent cigarettes are still burning oh baby I’ve learned a thing or two Roll me over my heart bleeds for you roll over baby you still love me too It’s been four years and I’ve failed to realize Soon you’ll be gone No surprise

I want to be your infection Be your fatal disease I want to be everything you want I want to be everything you need I want to be all that you desire I want to be all that you know I want to be your demon baby Your monkey for sure I … I want to let you down Let you go down on me Repeat I want to be your wheel of fortune baby Put you in Jeopardy Right now the price is right For you to come home with me We can play the dating game Out on the Holly Wood square Bend you over smack you on the ass Who wants to be a millionaire? I … I want to let you down Let you go down on me Repeat

Searching for some answers but the questions I don’t know seems just like I’m chasing cancer take another fresh breath of smoke All the days that I faced ain’t sucked the life out of my song all the time that I’ve wasted with my face stuck in a bong baby I’m too weird to be you’re man and this I understand but I’m still here and I can scratch your back and hold your hand and make sweet love to you tonight Whistling a song that I had stuck in my head Last night while I was sleeping I dreamt a symphony in bed And when I was awakened I was shaken from my song By my roommate cooking bacon In my bed I was all alone Baby I’m too cool to be your friend Don’t want to lie don’t want to pretend I’m still here and I can Make sweet love to you tonight You may find me sitting Baby my intentions they are steamy but my conversations cold but everybody has their moments and my friend he has a dream he says tell all the skanks at my funeral that I lived the life of a king baby I’m too weird to be you’re man and this I understand but I’m still here and I can scratch your back and hold your hand and make sweet love to you tonight

Stories Told 02:43
She knows the words to all the songs I play Cause I play them for her every day And I catch her singing along when no one’s paying attention that’s the way all the stories end you never can rely on your friends you know their feeling bad but they just fail to mention another stories told one day you’re growing up and the next you’re growing old I know the things that keep her satisfied Cause I do them for her every night And I know she likes it much She just wasn’t paying attention That’s the way all my stories end You never can rely on your friends You know they’re feeling bad But they just failed to mention Another stories told One day you’re growing up and the next you’re growing old

Growin Cold 04:58
You’re a maze You’re amazing It’s crazy to think about you now You’re more than a phase You did more than just phase me Maybe it’s the ways That you emanate you’re style And I’m in a daze Or I’m just lazy I want to sit back and soak up your smile you won’t save it drives me crazy baby I’m still a slave for your style I’m on a roll I’m still rolling But my path now Is going up hill My feet are on coals My heart’s been stolen And my heads all fucked up from the pills And what about my soul Have I sold it If not yet I surely will But I need control I’ve got to hold it Baby I’m still a slave to your thrill I’m so low I’m so lonely I’ve lost control what do I do And what about love My love is hungry Baby my love is so hungry for you You’re so above me how’s the view Why don’t you drug me and drag me home with you you look so lovely and I love you too yes I love you too Times are slow Time moves so slowely Every second I’m without you And when I’m old and I’m still lonely Taxes and tolls won’t have paid my dues And what about my soul Is it still holey Baby my soul is to whole for you I need someone to hold I want you to hold me I’m growin cold with nothing to do
