Not A Good Judge

When I set out to try my hand at this
I think I thought it possible
And maybe it actually is
Just need a break from my inner voice
Cuz I'm not a good judge
I'm not a good jury
But with my heart and my fears aside
I think I'll have a chance
If I see what's to come
I know I'll leave in a hurry
So I just suck it up and close my eyes
So I can have a chance
Yeah I just suck it up and close my eyes
So I can have a chance
It doesn't matter
What I say to myself anymore
All the buzz is confusing me
So if I wanna know the truth
I'll ignore my feelings
No matter how real they seem to be
Cuz I'm not a good judge
I'm not a good jury
But with my heart and my fears aside
I think I'll have a chance
If I see what's to come
I know I'll leave in a hurry
So I just suck it up and close my eyes
So I can have a chance
Yeah I just suck it up and close my eyes
So I can have a chance
Cuz I'm not a good judge
I'm not a good jury
But with my heart and my fears aside
I think I'll have a chance
If I see what's to come
I know I'll leave in a hurry
So I just suck it up and close my eyes
So I can have a chance
Yeah I just suck it up and close my eyes
So I can have a chance
Yeah I just suck it up and close my eyes
So I can have a chance
Yeah I just suck it up and close my eyes
So I can have a chance

Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
You've been so good to me
Even though I know
You've seen the sideshow before
Don't know why you don't ask
You don't have to sit and watch
A slideshow before you leave
Well I know that everything they say is true
Can I give as much as you give me to you?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
I hope that you don't know
That I would understand it
If you wanted to go
I could get over you
if I had a year or two
Or twenty or so
Well I know that everything they say is true
Can I give as much as you give me to you?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why don't you break it up?
I can leave with my ghost
I know you love me but
I can love you the most
Why don't you break it up?
I can leave with my ghost
I know you love me but
I can love you the most
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?
Why Don't You Break My Heart?

I've been pretty bad
Cuz life hasn't been good
He won a prize that should've been mine
And it put me in a sour mood
If you're gonna tell me "no"
Then prepare to go
Cuz If you're not my friend
You're gonna meet a bitter end
I knew a nice old gal
I made like we were pals
But she was stingy with her things
Her trinkets and rings
So I pushed her down the stairs you know
If you're gonna tell me "no"
Then prepare to go
Cuz If you're not my friend
You're gonna meet a bitter end
There was a mean old Joe
He told me “Girly, I know.”
He was tellin lies so big surprise
He burned in the cellar below
If you're gonna tell me "no"
Then prepare to go
Cuz If you're not my friend
You're gonna meet a bitter end
If you're gonna tell me "no"
Then prepare to go
Cuz If you're not my friend
You're gonna meet a bitter end

Five Star Diary
02:56

I like the way
That you talk about me
You seem to think
That I’m still wild and free
And in your eyes
I’m still a mystery
But I’m so bored with myself
Yeah I’m so bored with myself
My body doesn’t work
I can’t catch up
My brain is broken
And I’m all messed up
But there you are
Writing nice things
All about me in your Five Star diary
Don’t wanna leave my home
until I know
What I’m gonna do
or where I’m about to go
There’s something out there
And I want it though
But I’m so tired of me
Yeah I’m so tired of me
My body doesn’t work
I can’t catch up
My brain is broken
And I’m all messed up
But there you are
Writing nice things
All about me in your Five Star diary
Wake in the morning
Feeling like the undead
I skip the shower
Dirty hair on my head
My best accomplishment
Was getting out of bed
It’s not pretty but it’s true
This is what tired people do
My body doesn’t work
I can’t catch up
My brain is broken
And I’m all messed up
But there you are
Writing nice things
All about me in your Five Star diary
My body doesn’t work
I can’t catch up
My brain is broken
And I’m all messed up
But there you are
Writing nice things
All about me in your Five Star diary

Young In Love
04:57
|
|||
|
Fearing the same thing every time
That you might wanna be mine
But if you get to know me more
You could turn on a dime
Writing the same words over again
“Could we be more than just friends?”
Guess I’ll have to talk to you
To get my thoughts through
Why can’t I be someone else
That not so hard on herself?
Young in love and its so painful
Feeling stupid feeling shameful
And I’ve never found it useful
To talk to anyone
I think more than I’ll ever say
Can’t give myself a break
Still awake at 2 am
Thinking what I should not have said
If I could get past my tripping tongue
You’d see I’m not so high strung
You could reach down and pull me up
From the bottom rung
Why can’t I be someone else
That’s not so hard on herself?
Young in love and it’s so awful
When you’re no good at being social
And I’ve never been so careful
To talk to anyone
Why can’t I be someone else
That’s not so hard on herself?
Young in love and it’s so painful
Not much good at being vocal
And I think you’ll find it truthful
If you’re not young you’ll never know

Million Yard Stare
03:16
|
|||
|
I watched you swirling on
Counting one by one
Pointing to the dawn
You caught me as I stared
Feeling unprepared
But I wasn’t scared
Oh Lord there I was
Caught in a million yard stare
Amid the morning buzz
I found a marble there
And you saw a bear
Caught you unaware
Covered the table with our plastic ware
Pancakes and bacon at the country fair
Oh Lord there I was
Caught in a million yard stare
Amid the morning buzz
I cried when I got stung
Crying keeps you young
Then we iced my tongue
Held tight to my kite string
Lashes glistening
While you fixed my wing
Oh Lord there I was
Caught in a million yard stare
Amid the morning buzz
Oh Lord there I was
Caught in a million yard stare
Amid the morning buzz

Other Humans
03:11

I’m the one that isn’t real
Try to pass it off like “No big deal.”
Won’t be long until they find me out
Know the feeling when you go somewhere
Caught by strangers in indifferent stares?
How can someone look through me?
How?
I meet em through a pane of glass
And then I do a hollow laugh
Just to sound like everybody else
What else can I do?
Is this what other humans go through?
Maybe they would want me more
If I was less like me and more like her
I know it’s stupid but I always wonder
Who makes me worth a damn?
Not you or you or any other man
If I’m not careful it just pulls me under
I meet you through a pane of glass
And then I do a hollow laugh
Just to sound like everybody else
What else can I do?
Is this what other humans go through?

White Lies
02:28
|

|
Just a kid reading books
In the backseat
Exchanging looks with the people
At the swap meet
Feast your eyes on my beautiful guise
I'm building an angel
Out of little white lies
Out of little white lies
Out of little white lies
Out of little white lies
We agree there are things
You don't need to see
Shake the dust from my heels
I need to start clean
When the blood runs red
It's a kick in head
Making directives
From a hospital bed
From a hospital bed
From a hospital bed
From a hospital bed
No you can't ask
What it's about
I'll let you know
If I figure it out
No you can't ask
What it's about
I'll let you know
If I figure it out
If I figure it out
If I figure it out
Maybe

Little Ghost

Hey little ghost
Creepin' round the bend
Stop right there
She's not gonna let you in
She wakes up praying in the night
Just to send you away
Praying in the night
Just to send you away
She knows you lie
You faded apparition
The sound of your voice
Is the signal to fight
She wakes up praying in the night
Just to send you away
Praying in the night
Just to send you away
She wakes up praying in the night
Just to send you away
Praying in the night
Just to send you
She wakes up praying in the night
Just to send you away
Praying in the night
Just to send you away

If I Should Die Tonight
03:00
|

You don't know how it feels
To be me
It's a hidden power
That I have maybe
It looks so good
But it feels so bad
And it's the only feeling
That I've ever had
I'm spending all this time
Just trying to make it right
Don't want to get it wrong
If I should die tonight
Don't wanna leave that way
I'll be okay
Just have to let the mood pass
Don't tell 'em what I'm thinking
Go out and take a drive
Good way to feel alive
When I go back inside
I'll remember to smile
I'm spending all this time
Just trying to make it right
Don't want to get it wrong
If I should die tonight
Don't wanna leave that way
Don't wanna leave that way
Don't wanna leave that way
Don't wanna leave that way
Don't wanna leave that way
Don't wanna leave that way
I'm spending all this time
Just trying to make it right
Don't want to get it wrong
If I should die tonight
I'm spending all this time
Just trying to make it right
Don't want to get it wrong
If I should die tonight
If I should die tonight
If I should die tonight
If I should die tonight
