Picnic Days (free) 02:52
lyrics
download
I just thought I saw you in a car passing by But there was nothing in their eyes No, I don't have a face they'd recognize So there's nothing, nothing there for me I just thought I heard you in the marketplace today But when I turned around There was no one that I found With eyes as intimate as yours And I never welcomed storms or cloudy weather And all the puddles that they made And how they ruined every picnic day The meal I had this morning It was so dry and boring And the table that I eat at Has more chairs then I could need, and so I think I'l throw them all away Every day at five now, the sun is setting low So I'd just rather find a cave To hide in while I hibernate And spend this winter fast asleep And I never welcomed storms or cloudy weather And all the puddles that they made And how they rain on only my parade

Queen Of The Zombies (free) 04:46
lyrics
download
I saw you just the other day To say the least you looked alright You're heart was still beating And your skin was soft and white Something's changed since then Your skin now looks a little grey I swore 'til death we'd never part I guess living death's okay I was the one who left you there Like sushi for the dead You deserve your vengeance now But you spared my life instead Now we walk the streets like a king and thief The world is in your hands I'm just your slave I'm in your debt Your wish is my command Cuz you're the queen of the zombies I'm just some foolish mortal And you're a beautiful beast I don't have much to give you So tonight, I'll be your feast You spend the nights with foggy eyes Fixated upon me It feels the same to hold you Except now you never breathe I was so scared your mindless friends would come And tear me limb from limb But you decide not them or me Who you want to be with

Fondly, Plz (free) 03:23
lyrics
download
Remember the good times, no They're not tarnished now I know you want them to be But they were real, and so was I So all I am asking now is that you remember me Fondly, Fondly, please I know it's hard to imagine Anything beautiful now But I swear All that love you doubt Was there And all my worst mistakes don't take that back It kills me to think Of what I've sang and said Knowing what you must think of all that now But I swear my words were true I never wanted to hurt I was lying to myself I said we had a chance if you don't know

Bunny Rabbits, Bumble Bees (free) 04:16
lyrics
download
Bunny rabbits, bumble bees Sticky skin from summer heat So loud, you must hear my heart beat As we awkwardly collide our feet Drop your head against my chest Point out the clouds you like the best Watch the birds building their nest As you talk about your English test And I'll try to swallow quietly And I'll try to breathe in quietly And I'll try to clear my throat quietly Dinner at your folks' tonight I made sure my clothes and my hair were right They don't know I know you're tight Or that I sneak into your room at night (Uh oh) Supper's served were sitting down I'll ignore your father's frown Pretend I can't see through your gown And that the dinner isn't cold and brown And I'll try to swallow quietly And I'll try to chew my food quietly And I'll try to throw up in my napkin quietly Laying in your bed up late A single lamp lights up your face Slowly, I undo your lace And we're lost in lust without a trace And you try to swallow quietly And you fail

Tapestry (free) 05:43
lyrics

Little bird, Little bird All I need is a word And I could be with you Little star, Little star Far away as you are You're where I want to be Little ghost, Little ghost Who I envy the most Being you is being free Little tide, Little tide Controlled by the moon in the sky Sweep me out to sea And I'll fly Little bird, Little bird All you gave was a word Now I'll be missing you Ticking hand, Talking hand All alone where you stand Because you're always right I wish I was always right And I wish I could fly To where my troubles can't find me anymore Little thread, Little thread You have said what you've said Now I just have to deal with it
