could someone give me that
palm tree remedy, please
I’m in the city of bridges
will anyone build a bridge to me?
maybe I’ll go to LA
spend the rest of my days
got some things to do
got some things to prove
I’m feelin some desperation
been missing all my elation
don’t you feel it too?
maybe I feel it in you
maybe you’ve got what I need
could someone give me that
palm tree remedy, please
I’m in the city of bridges
will anyone build a bridge to me?
maybe I’ll fly to Mumbai
see if I can figure out why
things, they got so hard
don’t know how I got this far
don’t ask me how I’m doing
I’ll just say that I’m fine
maybe one day I’ll know
maybe I’ll have somethin to show
for all the time I’ve spent here
just stretch out your hand
I need some help to stand
feelin round in the dark
navigating alone, can’t hit the mark
I could use a voice
someone give me another choice
because i can’t find my way and so i stay and stay and stay and stay and stay
could someone give me that
palm tree remedy, please
I’m in the city of bridges
will anyone build a bridge to me?

Candlelight
05:23

we stood alone together
watching the city sky
but when we’re home together
your heart grows cold and dry
I’ll keep you warm
I’ll be your candlelight
light me up
my wick burns fast and bright
for you
*instrumental*
my flame has become yours
burn me everyday
my wax and wick grow shorter
will I fade away?
I’ll keep it together, honey
when you kick and shout
but keep your water away, baby
please don’t put me out
I’ll keep you warm
I’ll be your candlelight
light me up
my wick burns fast and bright
for you
will I fade
away?
will I fade
away?
burned myself
to keep you warm
now I can’t tell
what’s mine or what’s yours

I'm Afraid of Dying
02:35

can you frame the darkness?
if I was somebody else, I didn’t know it
if my heart beats too fast, at least I’m alive
there’s a crisis every time I close my eyes
can you frame the darkness?
if i was somebody else I didn’t know it
if my heart beats too fast, at least I’m alive
every time I close my eyes,
every time I close my eyes
there’s a crisis every time I close my eyes
is my fear of death fear of being forgotten?

Daisy...
will someone go and help my
baby
she says
can’t i
make her stop each time i close my eyes
a long, long time ago
I thought you’d turn into someone i
know
but down the road
comes a man
with power in the way that he stands
but not even his power
can last him for the hour
oh he’s gone, gone, gone
dream, baby, dream
daddy’s not quite what he seems
oh but he’s
gone, gone, gone
won't someone help my baby
she’s made me crazy lately
oh i’m gone, gone, gone
and in this given hour
I just can’t find the power
to take her out of here
oh i’m gone, gone, gone
gone, gone, gone
this day in my memory
etched on the certificate they gave to me
I watched her lips move
knowing i won’t get the truth
can you stand to know
that this is how it ended
the knight has lost the battle
that he got saddled with
oh, the war has come to me
and the next move,
oh i can’t see
won’t someone save the baby
she’s in her tower, shaking
off her bad life
it’s just a bad night
her knight has lost his power
he’s run out of his hours
oh she wishes to be
gone, gone, gone
gone, gone, gone
---
the light, light, light, light, light
the pages whisper to my fingers
in the dead of night
the only time i feel alive
I need light, light, light, light
words brush against my forehead
cradle me
tell me i’ll be alright, right, right, right
---
come back to me
she says
but I’ve finally found
my light
I cradle it
as I lay my head down
every night
baby’s found her way now
the path to peace leads me
further and further from you
where my happiness is
true
true
it’s better off this way
I’m a flower in the sun without you
better off this way
I’m a flower in the sun it’s
better off this way
I’m a flower in the sun without you
better off this way
I’m a flower in the sun it’s
true

Stuck in a Rut

feeling stuck in a rut
of my own creation
yeah I’m stuck in a rut
got no concentration
and when I’m
all alone
I just stare at my phone...
what could I
have to say
that no one’s said before?
will I ever
write a song
that uses unique chords?
my thoughts are stuck in my head
I can’t seem to write them down
oh-wha-ah-ah-at can I do
to myself around
feeling stuck in a rut
everyday’s repeating
yeah I’m stuck in a rut
I can’t shake this feeling
and when I’m all alone
I just stare at my phone
but when I’m out with my friends
I just want to go home
mmmm mmmmm
mmmm mmmmmmmm
I’m feeling stuck in a-
I’m feeling stuck in a-
don’t feel like giving up
don’t feel like giving up
(X2)
I’m feeling stuck in a,
stuck in a rut
don’t feel like giving,
giving up
(X2)

I’m feelin like my old self again
thinking
hey its been a while my old friend
I’ve been looking forward to seeing you
so now we can start over anew
back to all my smiles
back to my old styles
and each breath says hey I’m happy
I’m done with this year
done with all my tears
done with all my fears and my “oh, dear”s
it’s not like i don’t know how to be sad
it’s just that i don’t want to be
it’s not like i don’t know how to be sad
it’s just that i don’t want to be
I don’t want to feel hopeless
unfocused
don’t want to come off too mean
I don’t want to feel lonely
left only
to my own devices, just me, just me
I wanna see the sun
wanna feel like my life is fun
and enjoy being free
I wanna feel the warmth
feel like i’m the biggest force
like the world is out there to see
and you can be there too
but this is a love song
and honey it’s not there for you
and i’ll enjoy your company
but this is a love song
and it’s to me

down
in the swamps
of florida
there
walked a woman
who had fought for all her days
she
looked at me
and i told her
I felt
i had lost
the sparkle in my gaze
and that life was all a haze
I heard it said
life gets harder
but what
if you’re
tired of being
a fighter
I heard it said
life gets harder
but I’ve already worn
all this armor
she said will you run away
or can you find the will to stay ay ay
will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day
will you run away
or can you find the will to stay ay ay
will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day ay ay, oh
I don’t
want to be
my mother’s daughter
a fear
that sometimes
permeates my brain
maybe I’m
only so
where it matters
this blood
ain’t a curse
that which courses through my veins
I won’t be a doomed refrain
I heard it said
life gets harder
but what
if you’re
tired of being
a fighter
I heard it said
life gets harder
but I’ve already worn
all this armor
she said will you run away
or can you find the will to stay ay ay
will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day
she said will you run away
or can you find the will to stay ay ay
will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day
she said will you run away
will you run away, ay ay ay ay
she said will you run away
will you run away, ay ay ay ay
she said will you run away
will you run away, ay ay ay ay
she said will you run away
or will you stand to fight another day
HEY!
