Can't find a reason for the look upon your face
Can't find a way for you to put me in my place
What have I done to you
If I'm a rat then I'm the dumpster too
If I'm your gran then I'm your slot machine
In rooms that pump your oxygen Can't tell you where the time has been
Wake up
There's that reason for the look upon your face
Sat in front of you it's me but I can't justify the way I am
Not just, but you won't understand it
I lost that reason for the look upon your face
I'm not looking for a reason
Take my place for once and let me know
If your alone is my alone
I doubt it
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
There's the reason, there's the reason, there's the reason
Wake up
There's the reason, there's the reason, there's the reason
Wake up
There's the reason, there's the reason, there's the reason

I'm Enough

Come to find it wasn't fully true
I think I need you more than I'd like to
A beautiful wedding
A beautiful service
I'm not deserving
You said that I'm worthy
You said that I'm worthy
You said that I'm worthy
You said I'm enough
I know I'm enough
I'm enough
I picture the future
I'm scared of the future
I want to feel safe
I need the money
Milk and honey in my place
A lonely apartment
Alone and apart of
Nothing at all
I think I'm worthy
I think I'm worthy
I think I'm worthy
You said I'm enough
I know I'm enough
You said I'm enough
You know I'm enough
I'm in love

Cramdon's Curse

Touch my face
Let me fall in love again
Keep it still
I need to take it all in
And if you want I'll be the man that you deserve
But that comes with constant fear that I am cursed
So if that's fine and you accept then I will put it in this verse
I'll undertake
I'll undertake you be the hearse
Heal me
I'm better when you're near me
Fear me
It's better if you fear me
Hold me
It's better if you leave me
Touch me
I need you to leave me
So go
Take everything I gave you
So I don't have to see you anymore
Stop me
So I can say I'm sorry
Love me
I need you to fix me
Hold me
It's better if you leave me
Touch me
I need you to leave me
So go
Take everything I gave you
Go
Take everything I gave you
So I don't have to see you anymore
I just want to see you
I need you
Touched my face
And I fell in love again
Keep me still
I am always worrying
And if you want I'll be the one to give you room
I know it's hard to talk me out of feeling doomed
Well if that's fine and you accept then I will put it in this tune
I'll be the ground
I'll be the ground
You be the tomb

Found
Me
Standing by the old tree spinning
Dark
While I'm lighting up
Don't bring me down
I just started to like you
Down
Out
I'm feeling like a Tuesday special
It's never my day until it is
Don't bring me down
I just started to like you
Don't let me down
Clean up
Wash off
Take a look at this mess on your bedroom floor
Regroup
Reword
Everything that was said before then
Clean up
Wash off
Take a look at this mess on your bedroom floor
Regroup
Reword
Everything, all the things that were said before
I never said nothing
Here it is
Here it comes
Don't bring me down
I just started to like you
Don't bring me down
Clean up
Wash off
Take a look at this mess on your bedroom floor
Regroup
Reword
All the things, everything that was said before

Went to your house this morning
You told me I could meet your dog
I'm feeling a little bit nervous
But it's not about your dog
I walk inside your mom says hi
Your dad says nothing at all
He's a little hard of hearing
So I say it all one more time
Then your dad asked me if I drive stick
I know I have to say no
By now I should have learned to
By now I should have known
I will drive
Through the night
Cause it's just a little
It's just a little ways home
Window down
On my side
It's just a little
It's just a little bit cold
Came to my place this morning
I told you I had three dogs
You were feeling a little bit nervous
You were feeling overwhelmed
But then precious came to greet you
Then I took you to meet Bryce
Well my mother said she likes you
And my father said it twice
And I told you that I loved you
And you told me yeah I know
That was good enough for me
You've been wonderful to know
I will drive
Through the night
Cause it's just a little
It's just a little ways home
Window down
On my side
It's just a little
It's just a little bit cold
I drove by
I passed your home
Well I'll never know you
I'll never know if you know
Window down
It's on my side
Well I'm just a little
I'm just a little bit cold
I'm just a little bit
I'm just a little bit
I'm just a little bit
I'm just a little bit

Sixteen
One more week until you're sixteen
But you won't ever see your sixteenth
So much for something sweet
Eighty
If you were me you would be eighty
But I won't make it till I'm eighty
I guess I'll see you soon
No
Don't leave me here without you
I can't stand the looming thought of moving on
No
I'll never let you die
Cause I am yours and you are mine
Wait for me
Maggie
Well now they call you Maggie
While you're sitting in a baggie
On my mother's shelf
No
Don't leave me here without you
I can't stand the looming thought of moving on
No
I'll never let you die
Cause I am yours and you are mine
Wait for me
No
Don't leave me here without you
I can't stand the looming thought of moving on
No
I'll never let you die
Cause I am yours and you are mine
Wait for me
No
Don't leave me here without you
I can't stand the looming thought of moving on
No
I'll never let you die
Cause I am yours you are mine
Wait for me

Never met a dog
That was better than mine
Sure is stinky but a ray of sunshine
Well he barks like hell
But he's not so tough
Four flat tires
And he's running rough
But he's mine
All mine
Thirty something
Good for nothing
It's a miracle he's alive
Thirty something
Good for nothing
It's a miracle he's alive
Cause he can't hear shit
He can't hold it
Since 1985
But a guy like me needs a boy like good old Clive
I don't ever want a dog
If he's not like mine
Sure is loyal
But he's going blind
Well he can't see me
But he tries his best
Four flat tires
But it's no contest
But he's mine
All mine
Thirty something
Good for nothing
It's a miracle he's alive
Thirty something
Good for nothing
It's a miracle he's alive
I wish he was still alive
Cause he can't hear shit
He can't hold it
Since 1985
But a guy like me needs a boy like good old Clive

Wasting

Find the bone you'd like to pick
Then grab ahold and pry
Clean it off
Take it home
Then leave me here to die
Wasting in the sun
Wasting time on you
I think you like me better when I'm beaten black and blue
Be the cross I choose to bear
I'll hold you till I die
If all it takes is humbleness
I'll sit here while you shine
Wasting in the sun
Wasting time on you
I think you like me better when I'm beaten black and blue
Now I'm beaten black and blue
It's all because of you
Now I'm beaten black and blue
My legs are sore
I've sat enough
I think I'll head home soon
Insufferable
I'll suffer more
I have no space to move
Wasting in the sun
Wasting time on you
I think you like me better when I'm beaten black and blue
Wasting in the sun
Wasting time on you
I know you like me better when I'm beaten black and blue

For The Worst
04:34

Can't find a reason for the look upon my face
Can't find a way for you to put me in your place
I can't run away when I can't tell you where I am
Where I am
And all I want is everything that's how it seems
And all I have is everything but what's it mean
When I can't figure out if you're in love with me
Do you love me
Prepare for the worst
Stop hoping for the best
Well I can the see the light but I'm still looking for the rest
Where's my paradise
This is what I get
The worst is yet to come and I've stopped hoping for the best
And all I have is you
Telling me goodbye
Telling me it's time
You're the reason I can't pull myself together
You're the reason I can't figure out what's real
Prepare for the worst
Stop hoping for the best
Well I can the see the light but I'm still looking for the rest
Where's my paradise
This is what I get
The worst is yet to come and I've stopped hoping for the best
Prepare for the worst
Stop hoping for the best
Well I can the see the light but I'm still looking for the rest
Where's my paradise
This is all I get
The worst is yet to come and I've stopped hoping for the best
