ANESTHETIC
i could use an anesthetic
to clear my head
something’s always bumping
beneath my bed
closing all the curtains
and locking all the doors
i could use an anesthetic
to feel no more
to feel no more
ever have a day that just makes you want to scream and shout?
I got the feeling that you knowing what we talking about
you lurk alone long
turn all your lights on
smoke all your home grown anesthetic
drink till you’re long gone
make the music little louder when you hear this song’s on
fate’s a kind of timing
to raise your head
it’s reason won’t be rhyming
it’s season can’t be said
i could use an anesthetic
to close my eyes
i use an anesthetic
as my disguise
ever have a day that just makes you want to scream and shout?
I got the feeling that you knowing what we talking about
you lurk alone long
turn all your lights on
smoke all your home grown anesthetic
drink till you’re long gone
make the music little louder when you hear this song’s on
ever have a day that just makes you want to scream and shout?
I got the feeling that you knowing what we talking about
and the way we treat each other’s just a really kind of freaking me out
being good to one another is the only way we’re working this out

KILL ME NICE
Kill me nice, I thought I told you
put the knife behind my shoulder
it won’t be right, it won’t be over
Give me back all those expectations
I can use the wrap for my own defeat
I’ll give you back congratulations
and walk away while I grind my teeth
did we use to be friends or was the killer underneath
can you trust me agin, forgive me for my deceit
Kill me nice, I thought I told you
put the knife behind my shoulder
it won’t be right, it won’t be over
The poison crept in when we first started
a defensive weapon for when we parted
my cool wit timbre sells sophistication
but i’m cold and i’m lonesome, scared of your hatred
did we used to be friends? did we deal with this before
Can you trust me again, it ain’t a friendship to keep score
Kill me nice, I thought I told you
put the knife behind my shoulder
it won’t be right, it won’t be over
well i went further cause i met you
but i wouldn’t waste an hour to forget you
my heart is meaner, did i upset you?
i wish i could turn away from all the fear inside that makes me do what i do
Kill me nice, I thought I told you
put the knife behind my shoulder
it won’t be right, it won’t be over

ROSES
since the last time i sent my thoughts
and called, called across
what came and went between us lost
now changes spent to sweet exhaust
but now it’s time to disreguard this distance i held so hard
you thought i sent you roses filled with thorns
but i never meant to hold on for so long
and now you steal my fire, but you’re my one desire
I meant to sway love at all costs
find a way to shine across
beating back all mercy calls
but holding fast is what hurts the most
you thought i sent you roses filled with thorns
but i never meant to hold on for so long
and now you steal my fire, but you’re my one desire
I took the ride and stole the horse
calling costs and begging force
now my time has spent this choice
calling out til my voice is hoarse
you thought i sent you roses filled with thorns
but i never meant to hold on for so long
and now you steal my fire, but you’re my one desire

OUT OF BREATH
Late last night, all alone
simmer in my bed and I can’t sleep
two strikes now but still falling slow
phone lights up of reach
you say “can you come over and kiss me goodnight, lay down my body and turn out the light”
I’m out of breath, and I don’t know why
calling out my number late last night and i can hear you sigh
moving fast but still stuck somehow
i don’t regret your silent reach
don’t delay to show what you allow
finding out what you can teach
you say “can you come over and kiss me goodnight, lay down my body and turn out the light”
I’m out of breath, and I don’t know why
calling out my number late last night and i can hear you sigh
JOHN: kicking it at home, woken up by the phone, elusive honey bunny called to tell me she’s alone
what can i say, without a minute delay, i’m hitting the floor out the door without a second to waste
anticipating what the evening could maybe just bring, as i keep fighting the need to continue to speed
this bump in my chest says she’s not like the rest, this naughty hottie with the body got me all out of breath
I’m out of breath and i don’t know why, i’m out of breath..

ALONE
she’ll run even if you change
ain’t no way to gauge
time passed wild while we drove on
now time to turn the page
no substitute for pain
you earn your age on your own
you feel alone in this mess
i can see that you’re distressed
but love is made to stand this test
and you ain’t alone
dark times are painful but never give up you can’t hide
stay faithful, even this storm passes by
you ain’t alone
don’t try to earn her praise
you’ll lie in bed awake
your life needs faith in what you sow
some friendships never fade
but some turn from love to hate
your heart might break you’ll never know
you feel alone in this mess
i can see that you’re distressed
but love is made to stand this test
and you ain’t alone
dark times are painful but never give up you can’t hide
stay faithful, even this storm passes by
am i alone?
you ain’t alone
