"Stall Me"
Fall to your knees and kiss the ring
The crowd’s rejoicing
All of my dreams wake up to despise
A world I once loved
Why would you bring me in
If you knew what you’d become
So curse everyone and everything
Even the sun
Stall me, stall me, I’m all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room and the wallflower garden of the party
She’s got four on the floor
She’s waiting to kickstart me
So just stall me
I had a rosy dream
You gave up on you
And I gave up on me
Well, love came along and said, “Leave them be.”
We were wrecked on every rock you tasted
Light a cork my pretty little angel
I’m singing to empty bottles everywhere
Everywhere
Stall me, stall me, I’m all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room and the wallflower garden of the party
She’s got four on the floor
She’s waiting to kickstart me
So just stall me
She counts on stars, astrology
My moods are mercurial
But I know Mercury
Don’t hold your breath
Baptized in the river of you
Hold on death, the moon, stars
A sliver of you
Stall me, stall me, I’m all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room and the wallflower garden of the party
Stall me, stall me, I’m all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room and the wallflower garden of the party
She’s got four on the floor
She’s waiting to kickstart me
She said she’s got more
Where that came from to spark me
So just stall me

"Oh Glory"
I can only hope it’s true enough
That every little thing I do for love
Redeems me from the moments I deem worthy of the worst things that I’ve done
And saves me from myself in times of envy when I’m missing everyone
If I wake in the morning
I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised
Everyone I’d be
Well I just ain’t
Lately it seems like
Everybody’s sick, everybody’s done
Build myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory
I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose
And get there in the end
Oh glory
When I’m looking past the silken sheets
Take a breath to notice I’m between
Every little piece of thread and memories
That constitutes your dreams
If I wake in the morning
I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised
Everyone I’d be
Well I just ain’t
Lately it seems like
Everybody’s sick, everybody’s done
Build myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory
I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose
And get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose
And get there in the end
Oh glory
I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose
And get there in the end
Lately it seems like
Everybody’s sick, everybody’s done
Build myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory
I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose
And get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose
And get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
Oh glory

"I Wanna Be Free"
Is there a heart inside the night?
I can feel its vital signs
The beat goes dry
And the spirit dies
I wanna dig this Tinseltown
‘Til its six feet underground
It’s safe to say
That timing is everything
I wanna be free
I wanna be loved
I wanna be more than you’re thinking of
Everything seems to be estranged when you’re alone
Played our parts and covered ground
Drowned our sorrows, laid ‘em down
My memory is keeping the effigy
I wanna be free
I wanna be loved
I wanna be more than you’re thinking of
Everything seems to be estranged when you’re alone
One day I’ll stop keeping track
And give myself time to react
One day, one day
I wanna be free
I wanna be loved
I wanna be more than you’re thinking of
Everything seems to be estranged when you’re alone
Wanna be free
Wanna be loved
Wanna be more than you’re thinking of
Everything seems to be estranged when you’re alone

"Turn Off The Lights"
I got so sick of being on my own
Now the Devil won’t leave me alone
It’s almost like I found a friend
Who’s in it for the bitter end
Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right
So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight
I think I’ll figure it out with a little more time
But who needs time?
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the charm for me tonight
I’ve got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my head is in the clouds
So I’m taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I’m not
So sick of wasting all my time
How in God’s name did I survive?
I need a little sympathy
Disarm my insecurities
Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right
So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight
I think I’ll figure it out with a little more time
But who needs time?
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the charm for me tonight
I’ve got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my head is in the clouds
So I’m taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I’m not
A heavy heart on the boulevard tonight
Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the charm for me tonight
I’ve got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my head is in the clouds
So I’m taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I’m not

"Bittersweet"
I’m just setting, I’m just setting a trap
And I’m not pulling, no
I’m not pulling for you
You’re just pulling at me
I’m not a betting man but this is a sure thing
I’ve been to Tokyo and to South Africa
So many places that you might say I’ve seen it all
But my favorite place is the warm embrace
Of holding your hair back in a bathroom stall
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I’ll probably repeat
I’m not trying to hurt you
I just love to speak
It feels like we’re pulling teeth
So bittersweet
I guess that’s how it’s gotta be
I guess that’s how it’s gotta be
All that hate is gonna burn you up
It keeps me warm at night
Warmer than anyone
I think how many drinks I’ve had
No more in either hand
I’m slurring on purpose
And it’s certainly worth it
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I’ll probably repeat
I’m not trying to hurt you
I just love to speak
It feels like we’re pulling teeth
So bittersweet
I guess that’s how it’s gotta be
I guess that’s how it’s gotta be
I guess that’s how it’s gotta be
You and me in our proverbial tree
It’s such a mystery why you’re here
And you became as clear as cellophane
My voice of reasoning
I don’t think I can take the way you make me out to be
I’m just setting, I’m just setting a trap
And I’m not pulling, no
I’m not pulling for you
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I’ll probably repeat
I’m not trying to hurt you
I just love to speak
It feels like we’re pulling teeth
So bittersweet
It feels like we’re pulling teeth
So bittersweet
It feels like we’re pulling teeth
So bittersweet

"Kaleidoscope Eyes"
I’m a disappearing act done poorly
But if I ever get it right you’ll miss me sorely
I look like the cat that just ate the canary
Coughing up feathers
There’s a “Get Out of Jail” card if I can think of something clever
I’ll plead the fifth on all of this
When your chips are down and your drinks are all gone
I’ll still be here wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I’m just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
Oh, I’m just a crook with no intent or stash
Pour gasoline on the vault just to burn the cash
I swear to God, I’ve never heard a better sound coming out
Than when you’re whimpering my name from your mouth
I’ll plead the fifth on all of this
When your chips are down and your drinks are all gone
I’ll still be here wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I’m just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
I’ve got an insatiable desire for your insides
It’s undeniable, I’ll conspire and pull against your body tonight
When your chips are down and your drinks are all gone
I’ll still be here wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I’m just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
