Stalemate -ted organ Wrong answer to the same old question of “what are you on”? I know the answer but I’ll ask again and I just can’t win Any other fool around would have known by now But it’s late at night and I got my sight on a merry go round Something is always lending a nickel to my coiling doubt Above the rain it’s always shining but in your heart it’s pouring down No I don’t need a sign- I can see clearly finally Standing out in the dark with my shoulders behind me I’m holding out all I know just for you Holding out all I know just for you to (destroy) <-- second chorus only Do yourself a civil justice and settle down Your moral fibers are showing signs of splintering Friends are falling for your treats but not for long Picture this a perfect night where you belong

Today -ted organ Today- I don’t wanna feel this way Don’t wanna be afraid Can’t look the mirror in the face Don’t wanna fail me tell me how I’m gonna get myself right outta this haze Today- Feels like knots tightening Don’t know who I’m supposed to be Somehow there’s gotta be release Don’t wanna fail me tell me how I’m gonna get myself right outta this maze Hey look away It goes away It’s OK It’s OK Today- Reads like a Roman prophecy Feels like a perfect storm brewing Truth is not what I wanna believe Don’t wanna fail me tell me how I’m gonna get myself right outta the way Today- I don’t know who’s the enemy Don’t know what they want from me The more I know the more I disagree Don’t wanna fail me tell me how I’m gonna get myself right outta the race

Get Off Me 03:47
lyrics

Get Off Me -ted organ I’ve got a migraine from this daydream It’s kinda insane the way things clutter the inseams Words are heavy and they're binding I’ve got delusions of grander for miles with high beams On a night that I’ll remember- two rooms, one flat, back east, November Nothing comes easy, but it’s easy To discount all the hunger that’s been burning inside me I need you to be with me If I coulda done it myself I woulda believe me On a night that I’ll remember- two rooms, one flat, back east, November It’s frightening, I frighten myself getting all sentimental strapped into my seat belt winding down the interstate line Driving through the desert with more than on my mind...more than on my mind How did you find me I’ve just been minding My affairs in the dark and walking around blindly I finally found it in me To release all the pieces that were binding my daydream On a night that I’ll remember- two rooms, one flat, back east, November Awe man this might be just what I need A slap in the face and a kick in the psyche I'm slightly under-jaded cuz I'm back in the game and contagious with changes On a night that I’ll remember- two rooms, one flat, back east, November All my time and focus has shifted an apathetic mutiny Not this time, I’m bailing myself out- I don’t need your company There’s you talking and wearing my hearing out right fucking all of the time Here’s goodbye and thanks for the ride mister know that I’ve got More than on my mind...more than on my mind

Knob 03:54
lyrics

Knob -ted organ Transistor radio knob Find me an angry song Make it dark so I can sing along Nothing so sweet has ever vaccinated me Attenuated, loss, grief, shock, insecurity Depression butterflies buzz by incessantly Mortality awake there’s nothing left to take from me Mouth left with words unsung Barbells hang on every single one Colors about to become undone Tell it to my face wait let me light an escape Driven to the night light searching for that stimuli venerably shy, no pride, less an alibi synapsis contrived yo this baby’s gonna be mine all mine There’s something to be said about living life upon the edge A backwards point of view when your face is in the sand Absurd is the stand that what’s left is all we had There’s nothing left to say when you’ve lost everything (everything) you had Transistor radio knob (4x) We’re all, we’re all, yeah we’re all wasted in a line to loose it nothing left but music, nothing left but music- (nothing's let but music) this baby’s gonna be mine all mine

Fireflies 04:28
lyrics

Fireflies -ted organ Like an ocean, like a cannonball Mother Nature tamed the animal Mass production, individual Canvas cover over another one I’ve seen it all go down like so many other lonely nights I’m waiting Like pavement curing in the neon light Rusted sky, Dusty nails Don’t even try cuz I’m on top of it Fireflies, Masquerade Not to worry now cuz I’m not far away In a stucco wall, like a patch of clouds I can find a face, can’t figure out it seems to me that there’s an excess of people don’t have any outlets

Dominos 04:09
lyrics

Dominos -ted organ When all that tomorrow had to offer disappeared I looked into the past to find what matters isn’t clear Life’s little mysteries only apply to those who care It’s hard to march to the beat now when the drummer isn’t there Don’t tell me what is right After all I’ve heard tonight Cuz I finally see the light And it’s darker than a bad dream Every little thing I do it crumbles ooh like dominos- Try to keep it all together and it falls (fallin, fallin) Every time I speak I stumble ooh like Cyrano- I’ll keep my unremitted love here on the shelf Each night that I’m with out you is like a tear dripping off of a candle Forming a swirl of memories that gets lost in a wax puddle Don’t want to be a visitor that walks right through this life I want to assimilate each day and be here all the time Traded my glasses for a candle laced with ashes And a brand new carrot on a string Today’s just a little bit colder than it’s ever been But I’m still glad I met you All into...every time I think something is real it disappears It’s like trying to soothe your deep dark pain with fear

Terminal 03:46
lyrics

Terminal -ted organ Yesterday is on my mind I find it hard to find Shelter from this time Left you in a holiday How could I just walk away I go back to that place Held you tight in the hallway door Watched a tear as it hit the floor felt pain in the terminal Something's wrong with the sun The night seems to last way too long See the world from a tainted lens Where nothings too relevant I spend my days in bed Yesterdays so far away I wish I could’ve stayed I wish I would’ve stayed Now you’re rolling in compliments Smiling so brilliant I can’t get over it

There 03:01
lyrics

There -ted organ When I look back on my life One thing always just seems right Whenever I want to find you- you were always there Without wings to hold me in Without being inquisitive Whenever I want to find you- you were always there Need you now just like before Now I need you even more Whenever I want to find you- you were always there In my life there’s certain people who bring me down and all in circles And I know that you’re the one who takes the time to look for details Magnet eyes that hold you hostage, look away and cause disasters And I know that you’re the one for me...I’m nothing without you When I break down on my knees When I can’t fake simple things Whenever I want to find you- you were always there When I need to vent some steam If I just can’t fall asleep Whenever I want to find you- you were always there Need someone to comfort you Need someone to hold onto Whenever you want to find me- you know that I’ll be there

Dog In A Manger 04:18

Dog in the Manger -ted organ You quit talking to me But I liked it you get so angry that your eyes pops out their sockets Then you turn to me Just like a rocket You say your deal & then you’re right back out the door again Just when I think I’ve got you figured out You change the channel & my head right back up in the clouds You don’t know what it’s like I think you just want to fight You can’t hear me crying It kills me when you feel so bad...run...stay away I tried to tell you something but you wouldn’t let go I tried to jump up and down but there aint nowhere to go Sometimes I tried to make a difference but you always say “No” I always find my baby crying at the sight of me There’s somewhere someone waiting for a chance to let go But if there’s room for navigation then the feeling start to grow So take your bags I take my junk and we’ll head right for the door But before we leave we’re coming right back inside for more It’s a problem that You me all too well You push me buttons down With out having no sweat at all I never meant to make it Come out so crazy You say you’re happy as long as I’m so fucking far away Some may say that I’m holding on too tight Nothing that I do ever seems to turn out right

Lavender 04:03
lyrics

Lavender -ted organ Cajoled, you baited me inside Looked right past my eyes Whispered chills that ran up and down my spine Like there wasn’t time enough for all that’s right Control, like magnets intertwined You talked to me in stride Walked right through the callused battled field where my feelings lie inside of all that right Just a little too high, how’s the view from up there For a little while let me see what its like What’s the use in healing when it’s all I ever do Pain can be so soothing when it’s all that you’re used to If you wanna take a number I’ll be lavender and blue Waiting for a moment to take my time with you Afraid, of what it could be like With a roof that’s made of sky You talked me into closing my own eyes... To the world outside of what were livin in Escape, from everything inside No consequence to hide You had me drinking down your words like wine I can feel them on my mind and through my body
