Recessive Traits

Hot and heavy going to get the fire going.
Like a fever with the temperature keeps growing.
You got me restless, even breathless, now I can't speak.
The way you shake is going to make amends Nice week.
you're a fox or an orange tabby kitten
your pale skin and your freckles got me smitten
I wanna jump but I'm afraid to get my feet wet
what can I say I'm a sucker for a redhead
I got no self control, I fight but there's no hope
give in to my despair, I'm in love with your hair
I said I like the girls when they're just a bit bazaar
recessive traits stimulate the kinda men we are
call it what ya like, we call our selves a different breed
my passion is a furnace, radiant inside of me
I'm not a skeptic but I'm not a firm believer
I gave my best but is it good enough to be the one
Am I good enough to be her one, no, no
She won't drop the guard she holds
she won't drop the guard she holds
I got no self control, I fight but there's no hope
give in to my despair, I'm in love with your hair

Door Mats

I cannot catch a break, I'm prime young man real estate.
And it's open house, but it looks like no one knows.
Where in life have I failed? Well I and up as a short sale?
Or even worse, I may have to foreclose.
so when you find that your unheard
remember your actions speak louder than words
and you, can hold or let me go you have to choose
and you, can leave or stay go on and make your move
I can't break this distraction, attentions like a chain reaction.
A domino affect or landslide, a splinter or thorn in my side.
So vast there's endless choices. And some would say to pick your poison.
The best are painless but rich in flavor. The worst are tasteless with bad behavior.
so when you find that your unheard
remember your actions speak louder than words
and you, can hold or let me go you have to choose
and you, can leave or stay go on and make your move
Some words are costly said, a dime a dozen's the over head
we're under paid, a pretty penny, I can't live of this kinda money
the meaning will diminish, it started strong unlike the finish
and over time the love will fade, and lies destroy the truth we made
so when you find that your unheard
remember your actions speak louder than words
and you, can hold or let me go you have to choose
and you, can leave or stay go on and make your move

Past My House
05:01
|
|||
|
Came and went so fast like the
Cars that speed past my
House and never stop for me
We lost ourselves in starry skies and
wandered winding roads
And paths that showed us where to go
oh I waited for a rainy day
watched the clouds as they fade away
I wanna feel the gusting wind
brush against my skin
you and me 5 bucks and good
conversation of pagan theories,
solstices and constellations
you tell me you change constantly
reacting to cosmic chemistry
entering a retrograde it's just another phase
oh we are full of energy
spirits bursting to break free
changing like the rolling tide
you're still on my mind
in the rain we dance our
moves are soaking wet
take off your clothes were awful cold
Whoa… Whoa!
we watched the rain fall like a strobe light
under each lighting strike
moments that we steal, is this even real?
my minds medusian capacity
a memory like long exposure
preserve your face sculpturally
and you will stay forever stone…
I waited for this rainy day
watched the clouds as they turned gray
I felt more than gusting wind
I felt you against my skin
oh we are full of energy
spirits bursting to break free
changing like the rolling tide
you're still on my mind
you're still on my mind

Translation

I got a feeling, that won’t set me free, it’s controlling me, oh well
owned by an image that I can’t help but see it plays on repeat in my head
take it or leave it, guess I’ll just submit, build my wall with brick, and you broke ‘em down oh oh
It’s hard to speak to you, yeah I just blow it
And my heart beat’s for you I’m sure you know it
I wish you’d understand this language that I speak
You’d have to care to comprehend but you don’t with me
got a desire, it’s an unhealthy urge, should my mind be purged of you
like an addiction, I lie and say I’ll quit, but I can’t commit, to cut you off
conspire and scheming, behind closed door I plot,
plan to steal your heart, but you shot me down oh oh
It’s hard to speak to you, yeah I just blow it
And my heart beat’s for you I’m sure you know it
I wish you’d understand this language that I speak
You’d have to care to comprehend but you don’t with me
I played the fool, now it’s my turn to pull
the wool over your eyes, yeah I’ll get you this time
break free the betrayed from the heart that was enslaved
shackles fall, to the ground, this is the last damn time
no you won’t shut me down oh oh
It’s hard to speak to you, yeah I just blow it
And my heart beat’s for you I’m sure you know it
I wish you’d understand this language that I speak
You’d have to care to comprehend but you don’t with me

Three Lies
04:13
|

All it took was one night,
11 drinks and a temperature of 46 degrees.
Exchange the cold for a little heat.
In a parking lot back seat of your car
where our bodies meet
Thought I was clean
Coz it’s hard sacrifice,
When you paid over the price
with your soul.
All it's been was two years.
No words no trace not a single call.
No nothing at all. I fall, I fall into your trap.
Coz I take you back, I take you back.
Thought I was clean
Coz it’s hard sacrifice,
When you paid over the price
with your soul.
Be rid of it, once and for all.
Return to me return what you stole.
The tragedy, I believe I need
the captor that won’t let me be released.
Thought I was clean
Coz it’s hard sacrifice,
When you paid over the price
with your soul.
All it takes is three strikes.

Non-Fictional
03:47

My life is a book I wrote
hand written non-fictional.
The pages go up in smoke
who but me is responsible.
My life’s gone a bit to fast
dwelling on days of the past.
I watch time slip through my grasp
looking back compare contrast.
But I’m not ashamed, to admit I’m clinically fucked up.
What’s left to say? I won’t mix my non fic-lit
with your fairy tale, you don’t give a shit bout me.
Guess I’ll call you Mr. Right.
Food to feed your appalling blight.
I know how to live my life,
opposite of your thats why it’s mine.
There’s a moment you run short of breath.
Hyperventilation panic at it’s best.
Fix me, fix me, how far gone is he?
Just leave me alone because your causing stress.
I’m not ashamed, to admit I’m clinically fucked up.
What’s left to say? I won’t mix my non fic-lit
with your fairy tale, you don’t give a shit bout me.
But look there's more that meet's the eye.
And you couldn't put me if you gave me a try.
My life is a book I wrote,
hand written non-fictional.

Kingdom by the Sea
04:54
|
|||
|
I don't know what I did wrong.
I must have did wrong to you.
I scan my thoughts to find the meaning.
But there's no reason
for why you'd disappear
Cause I don’t know, why you’d go.
Or where you go, when you are gone.
You did something that was different.
And it left an imprint.
Now I'm confused and ashamed.
Could it be I saw you crying?
I’m still deciding,
if that's what scared you away.
Cause I don’t know, why you’d go.
Or where you go, when you are gone.
I want to beg you for a few words.
Just one or two words,
and if you like,
there's more where that came from.
But our thoughts don't even need speaking.
I know what you're thinking.
And if I'm right
there's no need to run.
I can't believe. I'm down on myself like I've never been.
And the only conclusion that you are a liar
or maybe I'm just crazy.
And I’d take it all back for that freezing cold night
in that kingdom by the sea.
Would you tell me...
Cause I don’t know, why you’d go.
Or where you go, when you are gone.

Someone of your Speed
03:35

slow motion, she creeps
it’s getting cold in the bed
so get back under the sheets
slow motion she creeps, slow motion
a slow motion disease, its all or nothing
rewind to the subtle sign ohh
put her hand on my thigh and I’ll explode
she’s a feisty one oh what give
from her head to her toes and finger tips
slow motion she creeps, slow motion
a slow motion disease, its all or nothing
we slowed it down we almost forgot to breathe
and I never thought I’d meet someone of your speed
some things in life improve when you take your time
honey slow and sweet let me lick my lips and indulge in you baby
when I try to speed it up she slows it down
when I lose control levels me out
she breaks the wildest men like colts
tames them them to do just what they’re told
slow motion she creeps, slow motion
a slow motion disease, it all or nothing
we slowed it down we almost forgot to breathe
and I never thought I’d meet someone of your speed
I’m broken, I need to mend
so cover me darling and do it over again

There For You
03:38
|

I woke up early, I got you on my mind
I'm kinda nervous, I'll put the fears behind
the sun is shining, that's the silver lining
you're the gold
if you're a princess, I want to be your prince
If you are sleeping, I'll wake you with a kiss
checked the cradles, but this is not a fable
or a dream
do do-do do do do-do do do
I swear I will be there for you
do do-do do do do-do do do
I'll win you kingdoms, as long as I win your hand
and show the world that your fairest in all the land
and I can prove it, but you don't care to do it
cause you know
I'll never lose you, I'll always know where you are
no time is to long, no distance is to far
just think about me, and don't ever doubt me
I'll be there for you.
do do-do do do do-do do do
I swear I will be there for you
do do-do do do do-do do do
there is no pretending
you want your fairy tale ending
full of joy and laughter
and happily ever after
I'd like to be the one and only man for you
I'd like to make your dreams… come true
do do-do do do do-do do do
I swear I will be there for you
do do-do do do do-do do do

Set it Strait
03:34
|
|||
|
Can you find it,
in your heart to forgive
or we'll be giving up.
We'll live on and live it up.
If we find it,
in our hearts to forgive
we'll be moving on
good things will come
Please listen to me, it’s not worth the fighting, let it go
we gotta set this strait this evening.
gotta learn to forgive, got one life to live, let it go
we gotta set this strait this evening.
Can you find it,
in your heart to believe
a little faith
can go a long way
If you find it,
in your hearts to believe
you'll find the stuff
that dreams are made of
Please listen to me, it’s not worth the fighting, let it go
we gotta set this strait this evening.
gotta learn to forgive, got one life to live, let it go
we gotta set this strait this evening.
And what is life when you don't learn a lesson,
and what is truth when there is no confession.
And want our words when you don't get the message,
we learn from our failures not our successes.
we’re selfish and spoiled, they’re starving and weak
And we judge by appearance when it’s only skin deep
so can you find
it in your heart to love
we'll pay the fee
and we will be free
And if you find
it in your heart to love
we'll have it all
the world'll be ours
We'll have it all you and me...
