Settle Down, St. Anthony

There's no past worth mentioning
I know
There's no saving St. Anthony
He's gone
Long gone
So you tried to keep it inside
But the world won't stop
For just your pride
I will try to push it aside
Forget the fact that my lover lied
Now it's no good
Saving my feel
Are you for sure?
Are you for real?
Do those memories ever fade away?
Do they decompose or just decay?
Well, ok,
So you tried to keep it inside
But the world won't stop
For just your pride
I will try to push it aside
Forget the fact that my lover lied
And
I will try to settle down
as we try
to settle down...

It took you much too long just to figure everything all out
The distance, and the break, and the cold, unfeeling touch
We were so quiet with our tongues, but spoke so casually with our mouths
And I had hoped
That when it had to end
It wouldn't really hurt that much
BUT YOU POUNDED UP THE STAIRS
with such a FURY in your eyes
Practiced all the lines before I opened up the door
Questions asked
and Answers wanted
Took you by surprise...
When I said I guess I just don't love you anymore
I've changed
And I won't admit it
I'll be sorry in my silence
Wishing all the words would come out
I'll take all of the blame
I did it
Save me from the painful truth
Of knowing this is what it's about
I lied
and I won't regret it
Cause you won't find me guilty,
Hung the jury with a Reasonable Doubt
and I'm home free...
And you tried to shake me down
but your grip just loosened to a hug
Tell my why this had to happen
in such a shi*ty way
Tears falling on my shoulders
They began to shrug
What the fu*k could you have expected me to say?
chorus.
I try to hard to be myself
I chased a lie in spite of wealth
I tripped, you fell and we were born
And now it seems I'm sharpening
the steel of doubt that steals our dreams
This has gone too far to be ignored
chorus.
woo.

Forever Dream
03:54
|

Dusk-lit canopies in shades of red
Pouring wine and hearts
With eyes that beat, instead
The future image, circling round our heads
Finds a way to show
That it cannot be mislead.
And this, this is all I need
Cause I've seen everything
That there is to see
And space, just don't exist
I'd go anywhere, for just one kiss
The ocean waves speaking to the sand
About the journeys met
In some strange, foreign land
And with the tide, I hold your hand
And tell you how you heal me,
When no one else can
And you, you're all I need
And you will come to know
What's inside of me
And time, doesn't matter if we
Live like falling stars....endlessly
BUT
you're probably right
We should just say "goodnight"
To our 'forever dream'
Tonight.
the rock outcrop
looks into the sea
there you sit
your eyes transfixed on me.

What I Couldn't
04:40
|

Don't say a word
You'll still be heard
You're silence said it all
Three nights ago
So much is gone
and you knew all along
One thing now has changed
I'm all alone.
I took a chance
fell into romance
Maybe I forced them all,
these best laid plans
Emotions fly
They pass me by
One thing now has changed
I'm unwilling to try
Broken lyrics on a page
Can you hear it?
My heart, it breaks
I'm writing what I should have saved
Thinking this new song can say
What I couldn't...
I gave a lot
For want of nought
Now I'm left questioning
Just what I've got
Emotions fly
they pass me by
One thing now has changed
I'm unwilling to cry
Broken lyrics on a page
Can you hear it?
My heart, it breaks
I'm writing what I should have saved
Thinking this new song can say
What I couldn't say

I'm sleeping on the floor and I'm shaking, like before we were making all these foolish lies. Like you said I remind you of Elvis. Never knew what the hell this ever meant to me. Ignore all my rants and my ravings, stuff your pants with my savings, and kick me out the door. You'll find another guy just as stupid. Watch the sky for your cupid. I'm sure you'll do fine.
And i thought you were mine
Right 'til the end of time
You said you needed me
and that's a lie
And now just like before
I'm walking out that door
I'll never be with you
not anymore
Flatlined, my heart chokes on its vomit. Next time I see Haley's Comet I will shout your name. I'm feeling beaten, broken, and blind now that you've spoken your mind. How will i ever cope?
