Modafinil

I asked if the perfect man wanted you to be his bride
would you take his hand?
you said you’re not the type
well if your type to change your mind just call my name
On the TV screen I see there’s nothing left
but then I feel your voice
and I hear your breath you’re saying
“maybe it’s the wolves. You know, it’s getting dark”
Don’t ask me for the forecast
I’ll say it’s clear as I can see
my eyes are getting heavy
in your car passenger seat
But I hope I’ll be awake
Awake enough to tell you I’m asleep
the fount of youth tastes like modafinil
I see the picket signs from beyond my window sill
saying “gun shots aren’t the things that keep us up at night”
One day you’ll realize that you are on your own
behind a crooked smile I’ll say “I told you so”
you know life doesn’t seem so hard with an extra pair of eyes
Don’t ask me for the forecast
I’ll say it’s clear as I can see
my eyes are getting heavy
in your car passenger seat
But I hope I’ll be awake
Awake enough to tell you I’m asleep
Don’t ask me for the forecast
I’ll say it’s clear as I can see
my eyes are finally closing
in your car passenger seat
But I hoped I’d be awake enough to tell you I’m asleep
...Or at least I used to be...
One day you’ll realize that you are on your own
behind a crooked smile I’ll say “I told you so”
you know, life doesn’t seem so hard with an extra pair of eyes

One Sided Love Song

I want to offend you
I want you to never want to talk again
I want you to leave me alone
Shut up and go home
(you to) throw up at the sight of me
But I don’t want to be mean
Just short of the grave stone
Just short of pushing both of us off the edge
I want to forget your name
Get hit by a train
So I never have to hear you speak
But I don’t want to be mean
And I hate that you love me
I hate that all you ever did was care
I hate that no matter what I say
You’ll be there anyway
Why can’t you just leave me be?
Because I don’t want to be mean (repeats)
Silhouettes from out the window
Ghosts are haunting your head too
I will write a one side love song
If you really want me to
But I don’t want to be mean (repeats)

She Loves Me Not
02:58

I was walking on a Sunday when a daisy caught my eye
I was so distracted that it almost passed me by
I began to pluck the petals off one by one
Rhythmically saying she loves me or she loves me not; I stared off into the sun
She loves me not (repeats)
But my life will not be decided by organic material
These random carbon compounds can’t tell me how she really feels and she feels that...
She loves me not (repeats)
I just can’t take this feeling anymore
So I’m going to find her house and I’m gonna walk right up to her door
I knock three times, I straighten my shirt, and I swallow the lump in my throat
I asked her if she loves me and she said “no…”
She loves me not (repeats)

Sometimes I Can't Sleep

We were both smiling, you were by my side
Head on my shoulder and love in our eyes
A plain white frame laying on its face
Sometimes I can’t sleep
A pair of lips and a crooked smile
Met by the car before they said goodnight
I hope you forgot me!--no, that’s a lie
because sometimes I can’t sleep
We finally talk by the riverside
And the things I said seemed to haunt your mind
Because now you're calling in the middle of the night
sometimes you can't sleep

Lately I've had this feeling
when I'm talking about myself
Lately I've had this feeling
when I'm talking about myself
Lately I’ve had this feeling
Like I'm talking about somebody else
Lately I've seen your number
But I never see your name
Lately I've seen your number
But I never see your name
Lately I’ve seen you number
But that contact was erased
Lately I feel the pages
but I never want to read
Lately I feel the pages
but I never want to read
Lately I feel the pages
Praying “Lord, help me to believe”
Lately I've seen your number
But I never see your name
Lately I've seen your number
But I never see your name
Lately I’ve seen your number
But that contact was erased

Father Speak

Take my heart
and let it beat again.
Let your love flow through the vessels beneath my skin.
Take my eyes
and let them see again.
Shine your light on all the shadows cast by sin.
Take my arms
and let them know the truth.
Watch them tremble as they are lifted towards the sky.
Father speak.
I want to hear your voice.
Can you hear me when I’m crying out your name?
