Oh Angelina

I woke to your reflection
a memory from a dream
but my open eyes revealed nothing
but this empty, hollow, scene
of candles never burned
empty canvases and walls
and crumpled empty pages
thrown where shadows fall
it’s a pitty, it’s a shame
I’m so restless, I’m so lame
my heart is torn apart
at the mention of your name
and words fall through me blindly
seems I’ve got nothin’ to say at all
I just repeat what others told me
and wait on you to call
Oh Angelina
Oh, you tore me down
Oh, Angelina
I should know better by now
well I never saw it comin’
you hit me from behind
It's a waste of time and energy
to have you wrapped up in my mind
and These feelings are so sinister
I just can’t get ‘em out
I’m lost inside my own thoughts
and nobody can hear me shout
Oh Angelina
Oh, you tore me down
Oh, Angelina
I should know better by now
take me angelina
take me in your arms
give me something
to hold on to
don’t make me
forget about you
Oh Angelina
Oh, you tore me down
Oh, Angelina
I should know better by now

Empty As I Can Be
03:24

my love can be written; inscribed into lines
But it just won’t stay with me
empty and lifeless since you’ve gone away
I’m as empty as I can be
Long forgotten dreams of the past
they plague me still today
was I right? was I wrong? was my judgement too fast?
Did things turn out the right way?
Get outta my thoughts I don’t want you no more
I’m blamin’ you for all that’s gone wrong
but that’s not who I am, I try to be a nice man
But I’ll be evil before too long
So many feelings I can’t breathe
So many lies that I want to believe
It’s all too much
I’m lost in the details I’m found in a song
I’m achin’ to just break free
The colors from my mind are gone
in thier place is a cold black sea
my love can be written; inscribed into lines
But it just won’t stay with me
empty and lifeless since you’ve gone away
I’m as empty as I can be

Gasoline
03:32
|

|
I woke up in a dark place
Horses thundering behind my eyes
my thoughts pointed downwards
every word a disguise
the trash can in the alley
the shoes on the phone lines
a fool walking backwards
a baby that cries
gimme a match, gimme gasoline
Survivin' ain't easy
with a smile on your face
when the wind comes to catch you
your body gets erased
and every woman who sees you
dumps her thoughts on your brain
And it burns just like acid
not even bones remain
gimme a match, gimme gasoline
All these tired horses followin' me
tired like those broken memories
I don’t react to ruin with disgust
for the ruin buries what it must
An article of faith
may be all that I have
tucked away in the corner
that I keep behind my back
all the oceans in the world
I ain't seen nothin' yet
all I've seen is the surface
and I want to forget
gimme a match, gimme gasoline
