West Coast

Save me from the west coast
I want to leave this rain behind
The memories have lost their shine
It’s what’s been keeping me here
Can’t forget the hour
When smoke and fire intertwined
No difference between day or night
It blurred out everything clear
Afraid to let go of what I know
Am I trading the rain for the snow
You said, you said everything will be alright the chances are slim for this
To happen again. It’s one in a hundred.
But I know, I know, the axis has shifted and the world has wilted.
I’m tired of pretending
That there is no ending
Take me from the west coast
People glow from pixelated light
Taking over everything in sight
I can’t tell what’s real
The weight is getting heavy
And broken dreams aren’t yours to hold
Wherever you are, there I’ll go
I just don’t want to be here
Afraid to let go of what I know
Am I trading in rain for snow
You said, you said everything will be alright the chances are slim for this
To happen again. It’s one in a hundred.
But I know, I know, the axis has shifted and the world has wilted.
I’m tired of pretending
That there is no ending
We laughed until our luck ran out. It’s time to pay.
Waiting for the undertow to pull us away
You said, you said everything will be alright the chances are slim for this
To happen again. It’s one in a hundred.
But I know, I know, the axis has shifted and the world has wilted.
I’m tired of pretending
That there is no ending
Save me from the west coast
Save me from the west coast

Swim

When I was a kid my mama told me
That I shouldn’t swim
For fear I wouldn’t survive
Just wish that she’d let me dive
Into the deep end with the other kids
My arms would move like fins
Body shifted to manual drive
I think I’ll make it out alive
Watch me
See me
Can you hear me?
Tell me, cause I can’t hear you
Been known to take the long way
Obey the signals and rules
Always last to arrive
Think I’m everyone’s favorite punchline
But I’m not just a mind covered in skin and bone
I’m a rebel who’ll call you
On the telephone
Cause even good girls feel alone
Watch me
See me
Can you hear me
Tell me, cause I can’t hear you
Always did what was expected out of me
But I got sick of trying
Even if you want to hold me down you will see
That I was never, ever, going to
Drown

Live to Tell

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, ‘til then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I’ve seen it once
I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside
You can’t take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, ‘til then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I’d never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide
Will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, ‘til then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

Complaint Department

There you go again
Has it ever crossed your mind to
Tell the details of the one who broke your heart in pieces to someone new
But you don’t want to face the truth
Can’t hear over your broken record
Apathy is taking over me
It’s time to leave
And my point is falling through
I’m not your complaint department
Don’t care who you think you are
I’m not your complaint department
Send it downstairs to HR
I really need to get away from all this trouble
Away where skies are blue
Away from all this trouble
Away from you
I’m out of the ideas
To validate your indiscretions
Pointing out all of the faults and reasons
Hoping karma won’t stick to you
I think that you’re addicted to
The neverending self-affliction
Even though I may not understand the motive of your errors
I can’t help but see the view
If only you can see it too
If only you can see it too
If only you can see it too
I’m not your complaint department
Don’t care who you think you are
I’m not your complaint department
Send it downstairs to HR
I really need to get away from all this trouble
Away where skies are blue
Away from all this trouble
Away from you
Away from you
Away from you
