i see romans in my head
marching up the hill and back
counting on each other's ass
and counting all the dead one's ash
singing songs for people past
and people present future tense
and gods up in the sky and all these
ancient lullabies they go bye bye
but i was born
two thousand years too late
and i wish i was theodore
riding up those cuban hills
wandering dakota plains
with mountain top bearing my face
carry country on my back
drifting down rivers unnamed
build a fleet to keep the sea's
and give my word to those i meet
but i was born
a hundred years too late
i was born
with no map left blank
and i wish i was roman too
i'd lead a legion overseas
i'd count the battles that i've won
and give commands to those below
and give my thanks to gods above
drink the wine of my good deed
and hope for peace, prosperity,
and love for me and those i love
but i was born
two thousand years too late
yeah i was born into a lifetime
of greed and hate
and i was born in '99
to parents that did all they could
gave me food and gave me warmth
gave responsibility
to live a life from 9 to 5
find a wife and have 2 kids
and mow the lawn on saturdays
retiring to what i've saved
and i was born
18 years ago
and it's quite the same
as all the times before

break

|

something is bound to break
something is bound to break
nothing is here to take
something is bound to change
and if i'm here today
is that enough to stay
tomorrow if i'm gone
will you remember all i've done
'cause you know i come and go
do as i'm told, don't you
and you know i don't
one time for times sake
two times, one to fake
three for yesterday
and one from me to you
'cause something is bound to break
something is bound to break
nothing is here to take
something is bound to change

sympathy

i'm a fucking mess these days i've been on the ground since you've gone
i don't blame you for stepping out cuz i know id probably do the same
i've been bringing everyone down and for what? to get a little sympathy
i am learning to live without peace of mind and escape humility
don't let me bring you down
i've been walking the streets at night
with the lights and the bugs in my face
i've been hiding under sheets with your shadow creeping up on me
i remember every part and every word of everything i've ever seen
i can't help the way i feel but i can keep it out sight
and dont let me bring you down

evening
02:49
|

|
i don't know if you care
but ill be gone, out of your hair
in the morning time
i don't see you in the air
i don't know when you are near
but i guess that i should breathe
and if you see me coming round
you should warn the fucking town
cuz i'm up to no good
and i'll be careful
i'll be careful not to tell you
it's my fault
everything that comes and goes
underneath the current flowing through the air
oh my breeze
i don't know if you care
but i'll be gone out of your hair
in the evening time

jordana jordana jordana jordana
you could swim
or you could float
you could breathe
or you could choke
or you could come to me
jordana jordana jordana jordana
you could sing
or you could whisper
or you could laugh
or you could cry
or you could turn on the lights
or you could turn on the lights
or you could turn on the lights
or you could turn them off

i'm feeling blue and green again
i'm looking red and pink again
i'm feeling blue and green again
i'm seeing yellow in my head
just want to say hello i'm back
i dropped it off and grabbed the cash
i shot it up and felt it smack
i took too much and had i crashed
do you know my name
pack up get out it's not your house
give me your shoes and belt to match
don't give me tears and watch your mouth
you're just a record with a scratch
do you know my name

sense
03:17
|
|||
|
tired eyes are all i keep in my head now
all the words that you spoke are long gone
cigarettes and opiates keep me at bay
don't forget you're only worth what you pay
if you're tryna figure out what i'm about
you won't get an answer
cuz i've been waiting far too long
to have any sense now
lay me down down to rest in open fields
give me shade from the sun that blinds me
break my legs make me stuck in my shoes
take my hands punch my gut till i bruise
if you're if you're tryna figure out what i'm about
you won't get an answer
cuz i've been waiting far too long
to have any sense now
and if you're gonna cry about it that's okay
but don't bring me down
cuz i've been losing far too long
to have any sense now

clean

can we please go just one night without
fighting for our lives
i've been aching to tell you something that always slips my mind
you could take me and feel happy
or feel nothing at all
you could chew me up, spit me out and i'd still come creeping home
please let me off clean
can we please go just one night without
climbing up the walls
you've been in my head, filling up my lungs, girl you take a toll
i just want to get one nights rest
can't you please just leave me alone
i could take you out, spill my guts, and i'd still come back for more

good
05:18

i wanna be alone
as much as i wanna live
and i wanna go
as much as i can
i wanna sing you songs
but i hate my voice
i wanna do no wrong
but i keep fucking up
am i good enough am i strong enough for you
if i could travel time
i'd go to the start
of my family tree
and talk with them all
if i could travel far
into the deepest space i could find
would i be happier
would i find peace
am i good enough am i good for you

tough
02:57
|

|
don't feel so scared
don't get let down
don't hide your face in the crowds
you're too beautiful
somedays we float
somedays we sink
somedays we feel like shit
but the world keeps spinning
don't be so rough
don't be so tough
so go at your pace
grow if you want
but don't try to grow too fast
you'll miss all the ones you loved
and we all have hopes
all we want is love
but all we ever get to do is spin until we die upon this rock
till we ride into the sun
till we sing our final songs
till we sew the seeds of what we are
what will only once
so don't be so tough
don't be so rough
