Mischievous not devious
My empathy, not sympathy
Your words have pierced my chest
You said this: this is best
This is what I need
If this is what you need
So who’s it going to be
To be the one?
I’ll only think kindly of who you were
Of who you’ve known, and of where you’ve been
I hope you’ll well of who I became
This is what I need
But I will not believe
Yet you take the leap
To be the one
Though I can’t see it yet
And I know we’ll have our moments of regret
You say, “This is the best way”
But I know what selfish means
So no beckoning, beckoning
For please, please
I’ll let this go
Let it go
Let it go
Let this go
I let you go
Let me go
This is “what I need”
I pray you’ll forgive me
Forgive me, forgive me
My sins, I’ve sinned, but I don’t care
Forgive me, forgive me
My sins, I’ve sinned, but I don’t care
I loved you, I loved you
To death, my death, but you don’t care
Forgive me, forgive me
My sins, I’ve sinned, but I don’t car

New Light

I could be anyone, I have a song to sing
A boy with broken bones and a broken heart
But it’s more than that to me
It’s the middle of the night
I know why you’re at my door
It’s a question we won’t ask
But we cannot ignore
So before you ask
My answer is yes
Tell me this could never be
That you’re not good enough for me
Look me in the eye – I’ll tell you it’s a lie
Am I in your dreams at night?
The way that you have crept in mine?
Tell me just this time
And I will make you mine
Secrets are most sinister
They gave us cause for war
This has all come and gone around
And now I am at your door
And all they want is more
But I have nothing left
Nothing left in store
I’ve seen battle
Felt the shackles
Of promises
That have gone asunder
But I promise
I’m not playing games with you
Tell me this could never do
That I’m not good enough for you
Look me in the eye
You know that that’s a lie
And
I’m not gonna lie to you
I’m not gonna hide from you
I still feel a loss - don’t you?
From my first love!
But I’m not gonna let yesterday
Stand in our way today
Reach out and I’ll make you mine
I found my New Light
My New Light

There’s a million volts of energy
Connecting us all wirelessly
To trouble we don’t need
And a hundred thousand secrets
Packed neatly with the regrets
We sold, ‘cause we couldn’t keep
And I’m beginning to understand the sad romantic
And I chafe from rubbing my hands because I’m growing frantic
And I start to form the answer
If you ask then I have the answer
How does it feel to be removed?
How does it feel to be removed?
Returned, restocked, refused
How does it feel to be removed?
I believe in honesty, honesty
In honesty, honestly
But I don’t believe in me
In honesty, sincerity
Initiative, integrity,
But I don’t show any of these
So I don’t blame you if you don’t believe in me
How does it feel to be removed?
How does it feel to be removed?
Returned, restocked, refused
How does it feel to be removed?
I couldn’t hold on
I couldn’t be strong
I could not do what I asked of you
Now you’re gone
And life moves on
I could not do what I asked of you
What you needed from me
What I needed from you
What you wouldn’t ask me
What I needed to do for you
Nothing but a melody
I’ll speak as you’re eulogy
Was all you said to me
For a plethora of songs
This life must go on
But your numbers are still letters to me
Your numbers are still letters to me
This still means the world to me
You still mean the world

Temporary Purgatory
05:13

One cigarette can’t hurt me
I mean I’m already dead
I bit that bullet yesterday
Took a phone call to the head
My only source of comfort
Is the part’s no longer mine
Decisions that I couldn’t take
I finally made this time
But memory is not the kindest muse
And I’m not in the best of shoes
For walking these streets all alone
I don’t know where I’ve gone
Hell and moving on
Or temporary purgatory
This is my judgment day
Karma’s real, no matter what they say
I’m all out of virtues
I’m spent on vices too
All I’ve got is this worn out song
But every word is true
So now it’s congratulations
‘Cause you get to play god
And judge me for my sorry sins
I confess they’re all my fault
The blade that you fell upon
Is deeper than you’re letting on
Please give me a second chance
(Though I know I don’t deserve)
I should have told you sooner
I’m Judas to your Christ
Please give me a second chance
Though I know I don’t deserve
This is the last of the second chances
This time I know I’m sure
I know what I want
Another cigarette can’t hurt me
I mean I’ve already died
But I swear I’ll make it worth your while
If you bring me back to life

If I could
I’d bring your mountain low
But I can’t get through
The sounds of our own egos
Save us one more time
There’s no saving us this time
What we’d say and left unsaid
Lesson learned and love is dead
I guess we got what we deserved
Everything that you expect
Take it all, give nothing back
The ending was so well rehearsed
I couldn’t be what you needed
Ever-charming, picture perfect
In my head I wish you the best
In my heart
All I want is revenge
We were best of friends
But when our story ends
We never should have met
We’ve been tempting the sweetest fire
Drop the match and light the pyre
Place your hand in mine
We’ll do this one last time
No use trying
Struck by lightning
We’re going down this time
You designer love affair with your self-image
Your narcissistic tendencies and disregard for others
Your hypocrite demands have all but burned me over
But I’ll come crawling back to you
I’ll come crawling back to you
I always do
Who I am and what I do
Everyway I’ve changed for you
Look at what you’ve done to me
You cut my heart with razor’s edge
I’m jumping from this building’s ledge
I just hope you’re happy
I couldn’t be what you needed
Ever-charming, I’m not perfect
With my dying breath I’ll wish you the best
In my heart
All I want is revenge
Look at what you’ve done to me
I’ll never return from Cincinnati now
