Track Lyrics
Independently Happy Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
I feel that it's hard enough to say good-bye
I feel there's the water, should I sink or dive?
An empty plate, fill up my sentimental morning stars
And I steal the art of putting truth in a lie
And I still want the girl that really caught my eye
But, oh, she lives in Oklahoma City, far away from me
Well, there's an empty hope chest, I quit the dope quest
And remain independently happy
[Chorus:]
I said I'm finally happy, happy
Independently happy
[Verse 2:]
And I deal with the fact that I've forgiven the worst
And I feel that my social behavior
May seem somewhat unrehearsed
But another page, a sullen rage
And I'll be back to my normal self
[Chorus:]
I'm finally happy, happy
Independently happy
[Verse:]
So I drive to the edge of my considerate plane
And I apologize to the people I hurt on the way
But I
I wipe the slate clean, I kick the daydream
And remain independently happy
[Chorus:]
I said I'm finally happy, happy
Independently
Happy, I'm happy
I'm independently, I'm independently
Balance Beam Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I haven't been quite the same
So sure the story of my life would never change
Then in a bright eyed way
I, I rinsed out the soap in my eyes
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing
'Cause it's about a girl, uh
That I hardly even know
So this is not another love song
Just a list of things that I should know
And everyone should know that
[Chorus]
One: Ya got to take it kind of slowly
Two: Ya got to hurry up and make your move
Three: Ya got to tell her that she's pretty
Four: Ya got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend, yeah
You've got to show her that, she's the balance beam
And I keep, falling all around her fairy tale
[???] her fairy tale
[Verse 2]
We took a walk in the rain
I suggested and she confessed
There's a heart nearby to cast that shade
Huh, stay cool, but I'm giddy like a schoolboy
Ya got to handle with care, this is not a toy
Then gradually, we touch
Although our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most, like
[Chorus]
One: Ya got to take it kind of slowly
Two: Ya got to hurry up and make your move
Three: Ya got to tell her that she's pretty
Four: Ya got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend, yeah
You've got to show her that, she's the balance beam and I keep, falling all around her fairy tale
Oh, this fairy tale, I wanna sing to you
And everyone should know that
[Chorus]
One: Ya got to take it kind of slowly
Two: Ya got to hurry up and make your move
Three: Ya got to tell her that she's pretty
Four: Ya got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend, yeah
You've got to show her that, she's the balance beam
And I keep, falling all around her fairy tale
[Outro]
Fairy tale, some kind of fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale
And everyone should know that
Holler Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you holler, baby
When you holler at me
What you want me to be?
When you holler, baby
When you holler at me
What you want me to-
[Chorus]
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay 'cause you don't treat me the right way
I won't be a part of this drawn out game
I never stay 'cause you don't treat me the right way
[Verse 2]
You're holding my back against the sunshine
You might not think it's over
But it's over for me
I need your reflection like a thin line
You might not think it's over
But it's over for
[Chorus]
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay 'cause you don't treat me the right way
I won't be a part of this drawn out game
I never stay 'cause you don't treat me the right way
You don't treat me the right way
[Chorus]
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay 'cause you don't treat me the right way
I won't be a part of this drawn out game
I never stay 'cause you don't treat me the right way
You don't treat me the right way
Schizophrenia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A silver-plated numbing gum
And Jesus resting on my thumb
A hard to reach Malaria
I've got the mood that seems to scare ya
And I'm paranoid, self-destroyed
Believe me, Lord, I'm sorry
I've got the mood that seems to bury ya
I've got the nightmare called Schizophrenia
[Chorus]
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
Becomes my home
[Verse 2]
I love it when you're holding me
You have a gentle way of calming
I haven't felt that way since 1993
When my mother held me
I bet you're waiting for a long sob story
Of how I was mistreated again
No, I wasn't built that way
I was strong but desperately brave
And I didn't mean to scare ya, Schizophrenia
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
Becomes my home
Becomes my home
Becomes my home
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
It becomes my home
It becomes my home
It becomes my home
The fever becomes my home
Becomes my home
My home
My home
My home
Amnesia Lyrics
[Verse 1-]
Trampoline
Baby, I'm your trampoline
Oh, you jump so hard but I always catch your fall
So now I'll just hide away
You know, I think I will hide away
Oh, I run so fast but I always lose them all
[Chorus-]
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things that I've done
I wish I knew how to keep the promises I made you
But life, I guess it goes on
Yeah, I know it goes on
You see, I've learned it goes on
[Post-Chorus]
But then I'll hang us on the wall
And I'll crawl in the open side
And I'm blind to it all
So why don't you
Crawl in my open side and become blind to it all?
[Verse 2-]
Time to pray
You know I think it's time to pray
For the contortion, my abortion
That I somehow shoved away
I think it's right for me
You know, I think it is right for me
When I was young, I was stung
And somehow lost God's faith
[Chorus-]
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things I've done
I wish I knew how to keep these promises I made you
But life, I guess it goes on
Yeah, I know it goes on
You see, I've learned it goes on
[Post-Chorus]
But then I'll hang us on the wall
And I'll crawl in the open side
And I'm blind to it all
So why don't you
Crawl in my open side and become blind to it all?
To it all, to it all, to it all, to it all
So why don't you?
[Outro x2]
Way back when I must have sinned
I break down profound, beginning, end
Head trip, regrip what doesn't mend
But I'm wishing this amnesia would kick in
