oh the truth, well it can hurt sometimes despite what I'd find in all the books and fancy papers by professors of mine they say that I take too much time building castles in skies I think I'd rather cross a line then get left behind when I wrote this down I thought of you, I've been sitting on two out of ten, that's where I've been of late I can't wrestle fate the walls have all come crumbling down from where they stood adored and I keep knocking I won't stop knocking on your door to be or not, it's an equal shame when all that's won is someone else to blame and you feel dry and wasted beyond complaint I'll play the demon, and you the saint from what they say, I think that time's a thief and we get caught in his teeth his shining grin like porcelain. . . and his eyes red as sin the people lie and abide his constant push and the frightening grip in short I'd rather live and die without knowing the time! I know the future it's hard to face when it's so muddy and built to break I know its function, to keep us in place ooh, it suits me better to try and escape so nothing ever stays the same you cannot fight what cannot be tamed I know you'll hear what I'm trying to say forget the hours and go seize the day

Hold On! 03:34
when I saw you standing there my eye was caught, trapped as I stared into the darkness and confusion in your eyes, a storm was brewing I could never leave well enough alone I know it's true, I did you wrong what's even worse, I wrote a fucking song to drive away all the tears and pain you locked your heart, and cursed my name no, I don't blame you, who really could well, holding onto something that's not there holding onto something you don't care holding onto something that's not there holding on to hold on now time has passed us by since then there's a new boy you're living in and it kills me, damn it kills me you and I were something, really all I want is to kiss you goodbye so what is left for me to say I think about you night and day I'd walk 10,000 miles to see you burn all my records just to hear you sing. well, holding onto something that's not there holding onto something you don't care holding onto something that's not there holding on to hold on to you

I met you when I was young to an empty vessels limb you clung to save your life with cheek and tongue from punch drunk suckers, I was one I didn't know how to speak love, until her body. I stole a kiss and she a lung there won't be rest until it's done. and the morning comes to find us as one should a body meet a body coming through the rye should a body catch a body need a body cry? should a body meet a body coming through the glen should a body kiss a body need the world know? now as I sleep I begin to dream I saw your face, in the light it gleamed we saw the start yeah, you know what I mean go through the motions and ditch this scene I didn't know how to speak love, until her body. I stole a kiss and she a lung there won't be rest until it's done. and the morning comes to find us as one should a body meet a body coming through the rye should a body catch a body need a body cry? should a body meet a body coming through the glen should a body kiss a body need the world know? if nothing good comes from this night at least we'll know we felt alright despite the lying, despite the shame despite the people, despite the blame I am glad to have known your name, to have known your name, I'm glad to know your name I'm glad to know your name

O, Lazybones 08:17
so they tried to find the words, there weren't any nouns or verbs to help them illustrate images that tend to bend, and break and they tried to paint it too, I'd have colored me with you but no color would suffice for the lofty tales of men and mice how long will you lay there, how long will you stay? o, lazybones how long will you lay there, when will you rise from your sleep? a little sleep, a little slumber carries me, as I'm swept under, oh by waves with crooked speech; winking of eyes, shuffling of feet oh, whatever can I do? I cannot speak, I cannot move and I'm sorry you had to wait, I'm sorry I was so late, so late things fall apart, and can't be picked back up again... shit creek never ever seemed so deep it's tough to swim with iron feet but I'll keep paddling away I will not rest 'til my last day I tried to tell you please, please don't think any less of me for being immature, and being so unsure, unsure and for being honest too, cause honestly, I am not you it's time to go, move and travel on when I get lonely, I'll sing this song... shit creek never ever seemed so deep it's tough to swim with iron feet but I'll keep paddling away I will not rest 'til my last day how long will you lay there, how long will you stay? o, lazybones how long will you lay there, when will you rise from your sleep?

I wants to stay here, but I ain't worthy you are too decent to understand for when I see him, he hypnotized me when he takes hold of me, with his hot hands. someday I know he's comin' back, to call me. he's going to handle me and hold me so it's gonna feel like dyin' porgy, deep inside me but when he comes, I know I'll have to go... I loves you Porgy, don't let him take me don't let him handle me and drive me mad if you can keep me, I wants to stay here with you forever, and I'd be glad.
