outside looking in
it felt so innocent
and when you had no clue
i'd share that day with you
you you you you you (x4)
turn around
into the light again
stop getting comfortable
cause you've been sleeping in
no no no no no (x4)
you were wearing black
but i was wearing blue
and on the night you spoke
nobody clapped for you
you you you you you (x4)
from the back
of a pick up truck
staring at the dirt
as it turned to dust
no no no no no (x4)
made a pledge to leave
but made it to the hall
you knew you couldn’t go
without another call
you you you you you (x4)
now you bury stars
underneath you skin
cause you got too much time
cause you’re away from them
no no no no no (x4)

who put the rose on your window?
who put the big cat on your arm?
if it wasn't me?
it wasn't me
I could see it from a mile away
I could see it as clear as day
who are you seeing when im not around?
doing the work when im out of town?
no no no no no no it wasn't me.
yeah yeah yeah yeah well who could it be?
you always had a good eye,
have you been wasting my time?
well I just don't know
but for now I'll keep inking the line
im inking the line.
who did the snake on your collar?
who did the battle on your back
if it wasn't me?
it wasn't me
I could see it from a mile away
I could see it as clear as day
who are you seeing when im not around?
doing the work when im out of town?
in the morning time who do you see?
in the evening time who could it be?
alright
you always had a good eye,
have you been wasting my time?
well I just don't know
but for now I'll keep inking the line
im inking the line.

Nobody Knows

You were waiting on the other side
You had a dream that your mother died again
You were a lid on an empty jar
swaying to the music at a disco bar in your head
in your head
in your head
in your head
nobody knows what your jar is full of
nobody knows the real you is made up

I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you
But there's no other way
There's no other way
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you
But there's no other way
There's no other way
You were just a kid then
We were just living
I wanna be with you
I Don't wanna try anymore

Million Miles
09:26

where I want to be is a million miles from home
a million miles from here, a million miles alone,
where I want to be is a million miles from me.
the angel on my shelf casts a glance at me
sees when I do wrong and hates my apathy,
the angel on my shelf is always in my way.
the portrait on the floor doesn't seem to be
the type of lovely fellow that I thought he would be,
the portrait on the floor won't look at me.
the plants in my room all looked pretty green
I left for a week and they all died on me,
I left for a week and they all left too.
what am i to do turn to the sky
and curse at the sun and wish that it would die
its just another star burning too slow
where I want to be is a million miles from home
a million miles from here, a million miles alone,
where I want to be is a million miles from me.
the bigoted old man smokes another cig
and tells my generation, who are you to kid?
well I hope that old man croaks real soon.
the vandals on my block they aren't doing so good,
cause everything looks fine in my neighborhood,
the vandals on my block are in the wrong line of work.
we sit down to eat a meal you've prepared,
the salt gets on the floor and the peppers in my hair
all you can say is bon appetit
where I want to be is a million miles from home
a million miles from here, a million miles alone,
where I want to be is a million miles from me.

Yellow Ramona
06:08

|
I know a place I like to be alone
where the pozo blue sage is overgrowing
yellow ramona gives me shade
when I've had better days
so I slept on the mountain
dreamt of chrome canyons
and bricks taking all of this
oh blue moon butterfly
I wish I had the eye to see your iridescence
in the night
color has taken hold of me
and it won't let go of me
this I know
