Sleeping In

I'm writing you a letter
To keep in your pocket
Read it whenever you please
Take a look at the header
My heart in your locket
Burning my eyes and scraping my knees
Listening to your Green Day playlist
Reading your lips at their frailest
Walking now would cause such a fuss
The table read we didn't discuss
The distance will never come between us
I just don't know what to do anymore
And sleeping in is easy to do
You're leaving but not leaving me behind
I'm writing you this song
To keep in your headphones
Listen up whenever you will
So long to the headstrong
Ignore all the hormones
Drink me up and have all your fill
Listening to your Green Day playlist
Reading your lips at their frailest
Walking now would cause such a fuss
The table read we didn't discuss
The distance will never come between us
I just don't know what to do anymore
And sleeping in is easy to do
You're leaving but not leaving me behind
Listening to your Green Day playlist
Reading your lips at their frailest
Walking now would cause such a fuss
The table read we didn't discuss
The distance will never come between us
I just don't know what to do anymore
And sleeping in is easy to do
You're leaving but not leaving me behind

World on Fire

Trying to keep it all together
Something's coming to you and it won't hold back
Keeping something from us honey
Take up all your dreams and pick up the slack
Feeling like a new arrival
A man for you to destroy
Doesn't mean it's wrong
Doesn't mean it's right
Taking me to the wire
Diving in headlong
A never-ending night
Living in a world on fire
Paying forward all the credit
Blood on your hands and it won't wash away
Staying at your highest limit
Waste another moment and it's gone yesterday
Feeling like a distant rival
A plan for you to destroy
Doesn't mean it's wrong
Doesn't mean it's right
Taking me to the wire
Diving in headlong
A neverending night
Living in a world on fire

Abuse the population
You're just a little wimp
I'll tie you up and leave you
Or, fry you like a little shrimp
You bet I'm gonna have some fun
You motherfuckers better start to run
Molest the citizens
With all your killing tools
You think you are a tough guy
I'll show you what is cruel
You bet I'm gonna have some fun
You motherfuckers better start to run
It's time to step down and enjoy the show
Your crime won't get lost in the undertow
You're mine, I won't go easy on you ya know
Showtime, there wont be anything to conserve
You'll get what you deserve
Thin blue line of murder
Rule with atrocities
We'll kick your fucking face in
That is my guarantee
You bet I'm gonna have some fun
You motherfuckers better start to run
It's time to step down and enjoy the show
Your crime won't get lost in the undertow
You're mine, I won't go easy on you ya know
Showtime, there wont be anything to conserve
You'll get what you deserve
This right here goes out to the boys in blue
Punk ass bitches trying to dominate me and you
Scared little boys carrying around a badge and gun
Beating the shit out innocent people just for fun
Abusing their authority like the spineless cowards they are
Running over civilians with their bitch ass in their car
They always seem to find a way to kill a black man dead
The best way to greet them is with a bullet in their fucking head
It's time to step down and enjoy the show
Your crime won't get lost in the undertow
You're mine, I won't go easy on you ya know
Showtime, there wont be anything to conserve
You'll get what you deserve

Into the Sky

Sitting on the dock waiting for my friends
The message comes from nothing and it never ends
Strolling down your lonely avenue
I come from nothing but a broken home
The road goes on forever so that's where I roam
Stopping only to go back to you
Feeling like a candle burning at both ends
There is nothing in this world to prepare me for the bends
Flying high on my silver speaker I'm taking you away
No more fooling around until the buildings all turn grey
A lonesome sign on a busy street that points me back the way - into the sky
Living on a dollar that will come undone
Burning all my records in the midnight sun
Something tells me sleep won't come to me
Scraping up the minutes that flew on by
Always wanna get me but they'll never try
That is what it's like to be living free
Feeling like a candle burning at both ends
There is nothing in this world to prepare me for the bends
Flying high on my silver speaker I'm taking you away
No more fooling around until the buildings all turn grey
A lonesome sign on a busy street that points me back the way - into the sky

Christmas time it comes only once a year
People are singing and bringing lots of cheer
Children are waiting for their little toys
The greatest joy to all the girls and boys
Santa Claus isn't real my dear
He's just a fat old man
That your parents lied about
They told you he would bring you lots of toys
If you were good this year
Did you really think he could go to every house
You must have a lower IQ than a mouse
What other things have your parents lied about?
Like you were adopted; maybe you won't find out
Santa Claus isn't real my dear
He's just a fat old man
That your parents lied about
They told you he would bring you lots of toys
If you were good this year
Santa Claus isn't real my dear
He's just a fat old man
That your parents lied about
They told you he would bring you lots of toys
If you were good this year
Santa Claus isn't real my dear
He's just a fat old man
That your parents lied about
They told you he would bring you lots of toys
If you were good this year

Melancholy Monday
04:32

I took the paper and I tried to write it down
All the things I wanted to say to you
I wracked my mind and came up with this
Every memory somehow fell into view
I wish that I could see you again
Tell you how much I needed you my friend
All my scattered papers laying on the ground
It's just a melancholy Monday falling down
All alone, you hid away from your fears
Your lonely life had gone astray
With the liquor on your breath you cried one last time
And with that rifle you blew it all away
I wish that I could see you again
Tell you how much I needed you my friend
All my scattered papers laying on the ground
It's just a melancholy Monday falling down
I wish that I could see you again
Tell you how much I needed you my friend
All my scattered papers laying on the ground
It's just a melancholy Monday falling down

Sunny Day

Looking out my window and there's nothing there for me
I don't want no sandy shoes or a boat out in the sea
Searching for the answers in the clouds up in the sky
Bring me just one cloudy day so I won't want to die
Just another sunny day
Just another sunny day
I know if I go outside I'll surely melt away
Just another sunny day
Walking out to my car and the sun is beating down
Looking for a swimming pool I think I'd rather drown
Interior's an oven and the steering wheel's on fire
Driving to Alaska so I can vanish and retire
Just another sunny day
Just another sunny day
I know if I go outside I'll surely melt away
Just another sunny day
Just another sunny day
Just another sunny day
I know if I go outside I'll surely melt away
Just another sunny day

Delaware

If you're really gonna go - then go
But there's just one thought on my plateau
The silent movies we were dreaming
Connect the dots in my sideshow
Just where the hell is Delaware anyway
Beside the sea or out in the Milky Way
Sing with me and join the tidal wave
A tiny spark you can engrave
There's a nasty feeling in my bones
Like a busy tone on the payphone
The undertow kept me screaming
Bacteria from my bloodstone
Just where the hell is Delaware anyway
Beside the sea or out in the Milky Way
Sing with me and join the tidal wave
A tiny spark you can engrave
