Lyrics

her middle name:
her middle name was marie
we shared so many different things
she told me that she didn't see
but she used to want us to be

wish i would have known your goal from the start
definitely would not have taken part
of what you might call a game
and now i can't recall your horrible name


story:
here's a story, 'bout a boy and a girl
oh this girl, she was his world
and she didn't know for all these years
until he told her, and left all his fears

and she broke his little heart
took away that little spark
but he did not stop,
it gave him a reason to start over again
over again

now the story continues after months of sadness
she crawled back to him and he thought it was madness
they talked and talked for near a week
until she ended it, and then they did not speak

again, she broke his little heart
depression was ready rot
but he said, "not this time. no, not this time."
not this time

now the boy is the happiest on earth
because he now knows his worth
doesn't need her to get by
and hopes her bad decisions she will realize


knight in dull armor:
i am lost in my mind, and i feel empty inside
i am lost in my mind, and i feel empty inside

no i'm not everything you dreamed of
but i can be so much more
i can be your knight in dull armor

someone heal this broken mind, and all the madness that's inside
won't you save this broken mind from all the madness that's inside?

no i'm not everything you dreamed of
but i can be so much more
oh i can be your knight in dull armor


for someone far away:
sometimes when i cry
i think of all the good that has happened, and try to get by
i try to get by

just open your eyes
and see there are others who love you, to help you get by
you don't have to cry

and i know you just can't fuckin' take it
please know that you're not alone
and i wanted to tell you, you don't have to do this on your own
and i know that i'm just a stranger
but i think we've been through the same

oh you're so beautiful, don't you say?


flaunt:
remember the cold night we rose and walked the town?
oh, it must feel nice to forget by now
i wonder if you know that you broke me down
oh, i bet you do. i bet you saved your sound

your sisters, your brothers, your misters and your mother, they'll say
"oh how he loved her, but better luck next time kid, this one is gone.
of her love the new one mugged her."
you said you just had to be with me
sittin' straightly under the elder tree
and ever since that day i've been waiting for you
and ever since that frame, oh the hell you've put me through

run away from me
i beg you stay where i can't see
where this torment can't feed


entry #1:
collect the souls that make you whole
my colored plum, it takes the toll
lie covered love is your only roll

don't dare run back to me now, darlin'
because i will say "run back home."
home


guts:
you've got guts, kid
but bad luck, kid
who is it that makes you tumble?
what do you see in her, that makes you crumble?
it must be her perfection, or her complexion
either way your heart still rumbles
she sits upon a bed, with a needle and thread
testing your patience so greatly

you gave her your heart, you gave her your soul
you gave her everything that made you whole
and when all is said and done, you're still with no one
you're just left talkin' to yourself

she deserves so much better than this
how her hair, it reacts to the wind
and her smile can brighten the darkest of days
too bad she'll never know that i felt this way

as i play these strings on my guitar
and i sing these words of sorrow
she shows no remorse
and now our plans have fallen, way off course


asleep with the devil:
i saw the devil and he saw me
i saw the devil and his offspring
where are you, god? you know you owe me
waiting led nowhere, love left its sting
oh no

held again in the bed so tight
he is not worried, he has no fright
the smell of smoke has passed
your eyes stumble another, the thrill feels right
oh no

you made me lose hope in somethin' so beautiful
proven deadly in your own way
you said "come here, love. let's shift that sight
i'll catch your fall, close your eyes."


hate mail:
i feel bad for your soul
feels sad, your home
it's missin' its old friend of so many years
and you miss it too, babe
wipe down those tears
'cause it was bound to happen at some point
you were floatin' down a river
a river of love

where do i fit into your life
when we said our goodbyes
and you shed those lies
it's only right you take me back
so i can leave you like you left me
somebody please, please hold me back
and while you're at it won't you help me?
i'm goin' out of my mind

did you my message, sayin' "i hate you, i hate you."
did you get the message? i hate you, i hate you


summertime blues:
i've got the summertime blues
no girl, no job, no money, no food
i feel like i need somethin' new
maybe a little break from you
'cause you just make me cry
it's when i like to setup and hide
somethin' that's hard to describe
can oddly fit in the shape of rhymes

oh i want to get away from it all
i can't take the fuckin' phone calls
you already made your choice
and i don't want to hear your voice
you said you'd stay close to me
but it seems as if you have been freed
no, this song wasn't written for you
here's a toast to findin' someone new
