Lily Blue

let me tell you 'bout Lily Blue
everybody watches when she walks into a room
and every time I see her it's like I'm meeting somebody new
cuz she's wild like that
yeah she's got a smile like that
I'm gravitating, I'm palpitating
I just wanna be one of her boy toys
let me tell you 'bout Lily Blue
a priestess keep this between me and you
cuz every time I see her I wanna be somebody who
could love like that, could keep up like that
I'm salivating, she's insinuating
I'm never gonna settle for any other decoy
I love the ones who are one of a kind
and she stands out, she's so refined
if one should be so inclined to make a move
I love the ones who won't be defined
and she keeps leaving me out of my mind
what I gotta do this time to make a move
let me tell you 'bout Lily Blue
no one's the wiser when she puts her spell on you
and every time I see her I want to be the one to
make her turn like that, make her yearn like that
she's pulling my covers, like nobody other
little does she know I got a spell of my own
I love the ones who are one of a kind
and she stands out, she's so refined
if one should be so inclined to make a move
I love the ones who won't be defined
and she keeps leaving me out of my mind
what I gotta do this time to make a move

The Invisible Man
05:16
|

you're here aren't you?
I know you're here
I felt her dance before I turned around
an open channel talking to me so loud
I see a strangers face I know so well
if only she would want to look at me
two years to the day, is that how long it's been?
what would I say but cue the violins
looking my way as I swallow my heart
it's drowning out the drums
but my moment never comes
another day, another dusty dance
in disarray, never happenstance
another night, another barren land
another time when I'm just
the invisible man
and though I've grown and I should have known
I'm none the wiser spite what I'm told
that venom elixir
oh do I, oh do I, oh do I, oh do I dare?
hollowed out once again
will this ever see its end?
another day, another dusty dance
in disarray, never happenstance
another night, another barren land
another time when I'm just
the invisible man
look my way so we can start again
look my way so we can start again
look my way so we can start again
so we can start again, so we can start again

Tempt
03:56
|
|||
I am the lover of Echo
and it's so hard for me to let go
of all I see, of all I see
my door was open and in you came
I couldn't see the picture past the frame
oh that tapestry you weave
you may not be my twin flame
but you set my heart ablaze
and the moments I remember
are the ones that last forever
oh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you want me to be
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn away
another love born of vanity
how you whisper sweet profanity
like a birds' morning symphony
no note out of place
it's good to see the dream again
but I'm wide awake now and it has to end
we both have a habit of transience without a trace
you may not be my soul mate
you may not make me whole
but you're an exceptional reflection
and I love you even though
oh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you want me to be
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn awayoh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you think you need
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn away
you got a lot of love to give
you wouldn't want to waste it on a hopeless case like us
you got a lot of life to live
you wouldn't want to settle for less
just trust me
oh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you want me to be
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn awayoh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you think you need
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn away

all these smiling faces
come from different places
they're acting all sycophantic pragmatic intellectual
but it doesn't really matter if you're beautiful
you want to be looked at but not seen
the love of your life
better be ready to say goodbye
if you're seeking out cinematic, melodramatic, call it passionate
quell abandonment you're feeling all inadequate
just wanna be dreamt of in your dreams
you got me LA lonely, LA lonely
like orphans of the storm
all trying to redefine the norm
give it a go, you gotta captivate, ingratiate, so insatiable
better that real be sensational
we wanna be remembered forever
like my affectations
my inimitable imitations
while I'm dealing with the perennially ethereal, I want to ameliorate
with all the willful isolation I'll deteriorate
forgetting that we're nothing if not together
you got me LA lonely, LA lonely
slowly descending while blowing amendments
with ethics, integrity, prosperity, solidarity
how can you help out your friend when you're your own worst enemy?
slowing the mental quit smoking those petals
you wrote in potential, they want you to revel in feelings of rebel
not responsibility killing these feelings of lack
attacks on my pride with no place to hide
personification of honor shows me his back
I'm lost in Los Angeles, ambling, rambling
broken PTSD version of Rambo
more lonely, less casualties
no blood on my hands as I dance with fatality, fate handles me
but as that phrase is reused I'm ashamed to admit that it's just an excuse
the only thing that actually matters
is that which you actually do
so here is my response to questions from dad and mom
I'm barely working, still remaining calm
why I'm breaking down now
frustrating, blaming my pain on loved ones around now
cuz nothing motivates me or makes me proud now
graduated college, thinking I'd have more knowledge
with new answers more questions became more prominent
predominate depression, lonely thoughts I get caught in them well
I'm breaking out of my shell, exorcizing my demons
never fleeing this fleeting metropolitan hell

The People We've Become
04:01
|
|||
guessing by the shadow cast, the shape of your intentions
stumble in the dark to catch a hint of the one in question
beckoned by your silhouette, fostered my insistence
now I'm crawling just as fast as I can, but only met by your resistance
now I don't want to wait the rest of my life
the rest of my life
on a day that may not ever come
I don't want to wait the rest of my life
the rest of my life
to see what could be between the people we have become
all I've lost along the way, all but my direction
all I've learned from endless foreplay
is to choose a new deception
gathering my swagger now, the one I let you crumble
light headed, heavy heart, you're the one who made me humble
now I don't want to wait the rest of my life
the rest of my life
on a day that may not ever come
I don't want to wait the rest of my life
the rest of my life
to see what could be between the people we have become
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait on day that may not ever come
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait to see what could be
between the people we have become

Scavenger Of Love
03:33

scavenger of love
I see you waiting there to pick her pieces up
when the one she cries about has finally had enough
scavenger of love
I see you staring on her corner with your lies, compromise
when she says she don't know what she wants
out of the corner of your eye
I think it gets to you and you know why
she'd never dream of dreaming of you
she'd never dream of dreaming of you
she'd never dream of dreaming of you
thats why you're cold, cuz she's holding out for the real thing
scavenger of love
I know it's nothing new for you to be adored
leave her wanting more, hurt her cuz you've been hurt before
scavenger of love
so you got game, it's pretty lame
it might have worked once or twice to entice that misguided girl
and when you're lonely late at night
I think it gets to you and you know why
she'd never dream of dreaming of you
she'd never dream of dreaming of you
she'd never dream of dreaming of you
thats why you're cold, cuz she's holding out for the real thing

You Know How To Lie
03:25
|
|||
maybe not built to love, only to need it
bone dry this heart of mine, still feel it beating
like snowflakes instead of stars
makeup to cover scars
you got me falling for your illusion
you got me holding on to your lie
you got me falling for your illusion
oh you know, oh you know, oh you know
oh you know how to lie
returning to the cold, hard to avoid it
your story goes untold if you don't live it
like snowflakes instead of stars
love once held in my arms
you got me falling for your illusion
you got me holding on to your lie
you got me falling for your illusion
oh you know, oh you know, oh you know
oh you know how to lie

Widow's Web
04:41
|
|||
barefoot while she's walking through the district
nurturing that madman with her mystic
now she's smiling like a viper in the dark
slithering now, come hither how she won't let you get too far away
I'm afraid to say
like so many before you
you've fallen victim to
that widow's web catching prey again
widow's web say your prayers my friend
widow's web catching prey again
widow's web so say your prayers my friend
follow all that rose gold and glitter
tango so hot it makes you shiver
now she's laughing while you wonder what went wrong
surprisingly predictable, the love was there then gone away
I'm afraid to say
like so many before
you've fallen victim to
that widow's web catching prey again
widow's web say your prayers my friend
widow's web catching prey again
widow's web so say your prayers my friend
don't make a lover you God
or you will find out the hard way
when they leave you behind
when they leave you behind
