I Can Feel Me
05:40
|
|||
Takes me under an hour
Just to get from here to there
My life’s like a negative carnival
Don’t know why it’s so unfair
The number of days we meet keep droppin’
How bad could they get?
I’m feeling alone, lonesome, forgotten
We’re miles apart and yet…
Chorus
I can feel me, I can feel me
I can feel me, but I can’t feel you
I can feel me, I can feel me
I can feel me, but I can’t feel you
SOLO
I’ll run the marathon it takes me
One time a week
Then I’ll fall into your loving arms
Once I’m weak
My conscience is quiet
But I think I’m allowed
To be with you every night and day
And that’s not happening now
Chorus
SOLO
Oh! Darling, I need you, get back because
I’m down, I want you in my life
Don’t pass me by, all you need is love
Come together, please please me, hold me tight!
I can feel me, I can feel me
I can feel me, OOOOOHHHH
I can feel me, I can feel me
I can feel me, OOOOOHHHH
I can feel me, I can feel me
I can feel me, but I can’t feel, but
I can feel me, I can feel me
Ohh I can feel me, but I can’t feel you
OHHHHHH, I can feel me

Weighin'
04:08
|
|||
Ooh you’re so damn beautiful
But I repeat myself too often
I can’t just hand you gifts you want
Or spread compliments like frosting
So at this moment now
I’ve got a thought that’s been
Weighin’, weighin’, weighin’
We’re eye-contacting in your car
I gotta say it, say it, say it!
I’d love to kiss you
Nothing below where your
Chin meets your neck
It’s a dream that’s been keeping me up
I’ve been dreaming of a single peck
YEAH YEAH YEAH
I had a wonderful time at dinner
Driving ‘round the town was fun too
I told your mother I would get you home by 10
And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do
But hey, before you unclick your belt
And pull the handle on the door
Sit and spend this last moment we have for...
*AHEM*
This thought that brewed up
To my lobes and it’s weighin’
Weighin’, weighin, weighin’
I’d appreciate your opinion on it
Please weigh in, weigh in, weigh in cuz
I’d love to kiss you
I know you’re weirded out that I checked it
Just had to make sure I didn’t take your
Lips to mine until you accepted, babe
I’d love to kiss you
Rather than take it upon myself, it
Was better I ask cuz it woulda been bad
If I leaned in and you neglected
This is why I’m asking you to stay in
The car for a goodnight kiss
You’re what keeps me prayin’
Please hon I insist
I don’t wanna just be another “See you around”
This thought’s been weighin’, weighin, weighin’ way in the back of my head... WEIGHIN’ ME DOWN
HEARTFELT SOLO
Babe I’d love to kiss you
Nothing below where your
Chin meets your neck
It’s a dream that’s been keeping me up
I’ve been dreaming of a single peck
I’d love to kiss you
See you when I open my eyes: “Peek-a-boo”
And if not tonight… I’ll continue on
For now, that one on my cheek’ll do

Personal Donkey
03:11
|
|||
Throw fits if you wanna
Blow steam like a sauna
Scheming prima donna with drama that don’t pass
I’m nine times calmer
Aiming for nirvana
Tryna be the Dali Lama but you call me an ass
Over everything, obsessing
I see you’re always stressing
Time to learn your lesson and lessen this cruel torment
Your temples need caressing
By me cuz I’m the best in
Town, so say a blessing or confess into your vent
Chorus
Don’t try to pin it all on me
I’m not your personal donkey
Don’t try to pin it all on me
I’m not your personal donkey
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
I’m not your personal donkey
Hey hey, hey hey now… hey hey
I’m not your personal donkey… yeah yeah
Carry too much baggage
I don’t wanna have it
Seems it’s habit to pass it on to someone less deserving
Acting like a savage
Mean, you’re just an average
Person working passive whose passage is slashed and swerving
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
I’m not your personal donkey
Hey hey, hey hey now… hey hey
I’m not your personal donkey… yeah yeah

Die With the Volume
02:39
|
|||
I’m healthy and living here as my heart beats
Playing for the game, playing for keeps
Each chorus that I sing is a simple repeat
So why spend my time cryin’, dyin’ in my sheets
Chorus
I wanna die with the volume at 100 percent
I wanna die with the volume at 100 percent
They’re gonna cry in the ballroom when I’ve made my descent
I wanna die with the volume at 100 percent
I wanna die with the volume at 100 percent
People got a misconception stuck in their head
Say they can’t do anything and rather be dead
They think all the possibilities have fled
But they haven’t, just do what you want to instead
I gotta know now
Why do some people slow down
When they think life’s getting stale?
You gotta know here
If you think death is so near
Go out in a blaze, set fire to the snail
Chorus
I talk to everybody, look into their eyes
They’ve got so much potential, futures that thrive
So it’s up to me to instill that drive
To fulfill your dreams and live loud, blaring lives
Chorus
Wanna die with the volume… at 100 percent YEAH

Emergency
03:23
|
|||
So attractive
Never thought I would meet someone so cute
Never thought it would be somebody new
Thought it’d be someone I already knew
So attracted
Her eyes that are hazelnut-blue
Kill me softly and sweetly, sweet as honeydew
Honey, do for me what you want me to do
I treat every time we hold hands like an emergency
Cuz once your fingers wrap around mine I come immediately
So attractive
You’re the north to my south pole
Magnetized me so hard I think it knocked me out cold
When I woke you looked at me with a gaping mouth hole
So attracted
By all the power you hold
Might as well be Midas cuz of your heart of gold
My arms have always been crossed now watch me unfold
You can stroke my hair or blow off of my face a stray eyelash
You know to me it’s an emergency so I’ll come to you in a flash
SOLO
So attractive
Your beauty scratched me just like a keyed car
That’s why for this song I ditched the guitar
I changed my sound just to sing you sweet bars
So attracted
When I’m with you I see stars
Yes it may sound cliché but that is what we are
Our love would blossom if we were in the ER
Please pretty stranger I’ve gotta be your biggest fan
The most gorgeous emergency: I’ll come as fast as I can

Mom's New Man
02:09
|
|||
He has a fancy car, he has a big ol’ house
But the size of his heart is what it’s all about
My dad’s gotcha beat… who are you man?
Mom’s new man
He pulled out the ring and then he kissed her
‘Fore the photo was framed my dad was out of the picture
I gotta take a seat cuz I can’t stand
Mom’s new man
Some things you don’t do, this is one
For me, this won’t do cuz I’m this man’s son
ANGSTY-TEEN SOLO
I think I’m gonna puke… P-U man
I can’t stand the smell
Cool Hand Luke: Paul Newman
I wish you well
Mom’s new man

No Friend Night
03:27
|
|||
Meandering through the hallways
Like always it seems
Friends acting like fall days
Cuz all they do is leave
All my buds are busy
Is it me? Do I smell?
Why’d they have to dis me
Oh this day feels like Hell
I’m stuck inside on a no friend night
Find it kinda like a crime
Cuz if you take it, split it, flip it
Gotta admit, it makes “me cri”
Sitting idle in my bedroom
Hating all my pals
Crammed on a flight tryna find legroom
Kicking and screaming out
Don’t drink and smoke like they do
Fear paralyzes me, hips to heels
Stand up and tell them, I can’t, I’m afraid to
Guess I just have to deal
I’m stuck inside on a no friend night
Left to myself like a lone ranger
And all it takes is a change of space
It becomes loner anger
A LONESOME SOLO
My phone is broken so I can’t call
Or text anybody else
Quiet and sad library bathroom stall
Stuck here all by my shelf
Gotta fight just to be noticed
But now I comprehend…
I only have one question to pose, it’s
“Are they really my friends?”
I’m stuck inside on a no friend night
And this is the end of that line
Previous thoughts about them are mixed up in me
Then I realize those friends aren’t mine

One More Secret
03:03
|
|||
Sadie, you’re the lady I’ve always dreamed of
The love of my life for many more moons
I’ve been faithful ever since day one
But there’s something, one thing
That you never knew
It’s been eating at me like a worm
All the way to my very core
I’m an apple, I’m an apple
You thought you knew all about me yet
This is just one more secret
I’m an apple
You may never look at me the same way
Now that you understand I am just a fruit
Wish you were more happy that I told you cuz I’ve been stuck in, this drunken
Poor man’s suit
My life is one wild crisis
My indecisiveness put me in slices
I’m an apple, I’m an apple
You thought you knew all about me yet
This is just one more secret
I’m an apple
Told you ‘bout everything else except this
Façade I was hiding behind
I’m a broken criminal who’s gonna need some more concealing
By your look I can tell you’re gonna drop me and shatter my rind
Give me a big bruise and subsequently hurt my peelings
My mind has run dry it’s got no juice
Don’t have any more answers to produce
Cuz I’m an apple
I’m just an apple
Just an apple
Apple

Secret Service
04:55
|
|||
Hiding marks on my body
Scarves in the middle of a summer’s day
Nobody’s gonna find out
Keeping you on a separate display
I ain’t embarrassed of ya
I love ya like a really close friend
Not lying when I say I’m not leaving
Like Pinocchio, reality’s gonna suspend
I’m your right-hand man, my right hand can
Do anything for you with purpose
Call it secret service, call it secret service
Just remain calm
I know you’re shaky and nervous
Call me secret service, call me secret service
I’m a sucker for smiles
I fall for every really cute laugh
Can’t check off my TO-DO list fast enough
Hitting up 3 dorms in an hour and a half
Trying to get my check in each box
Attempting not to become an item
Friends complain about all the wrongs on my lists
And they wonder why I right ‘em
A frying pan that’s got grease, a hot piece
Hidden in your basement: a furnace
Call it secret service, call it secret service
Just doing it cuz I’m a professional sneaker
Swoosh! That’s what the curve is…
Call me secret service, call me secret service
Breaks my heart to know all your other fellas went
Leaving with words like the twenty-ninth element
When this first began, thought it was just for the hell of it
Since we’re this far now, I’ll be your central intelligence
GLOSSY SOLO
Doing all this dirty work cuz nobody’s dating me
Thinking with my head, I already got an 8-inch lead
I’m a busy worker so babe you gotta wait and see
Towing the line for multiple agencies
I’m just tryna help any girl
And make sure they don’t feel perfect
Call it secret service, call it secret service
Don’t call me sleazy and worthless
It’s more than just skin on my surface
We’re all humans with natural urges
So if you’re gonna call me anything…
CALL ME SECRET SERVICE
CALL ME SECRET SERVICE (service)

Buy Me For Free
04:40
|
|||
Buy me for free, I don’t care, I’ll be gone soon
Whirl me around like the winds of a monsoon
I’m nothing more than a poor boy with no place to go… and so
I have no worth… no sense of purpose
Use me, peruse me while I lay shirtless
On this thin mattress of memories, foam and regret
I’m here for pleasure… all you can gain
With every pound I feel one ounce of pain
My head is bright red, from the neck down I’m white like a cigarette
I’m living the grey space between love and war
Only know one thing I’m supposed to be
I could never charge you because I’m yours
Buy me for free… buy me for free
I’ll be gone soon
Whirl me around like the winds of a monsoon
I’m nothing more than a poor boy with no place to go… and so
I have gone nowhere, it’s no fair I deserve
Better than this, both my fists and my knees hurt
From punching and kicking the walls. I’m starved and pale
So skinny and sad, I’m just your type, yet
You bruise me, abuse me and tell me I like it
Apparently I float your boat but I don’t wanna be your sale
You taught me young that it’s good to explore
Didn’t know any better, didn’t disagree
I have no input if you’re at my core
Buy me for free… buy me for free
BREAK
I’ve lost all feeling and sense of direction
For… what for? I can’t make the connection
I see no reason for me to be treated so mean
Help me escape this, I’ve always been trapped
In a basement, I’ve faced it, I’m waste and in fact
If this frightened freight train ain’t freed soon, it’s gonna blow steam
Why can’t it be over? I want no more
Leave me to die if that’s my destiny
I know in my vacant head what I’m for
Buy me for free… buy me for free
An object of lust… buy me for free
I’m nothing but dust… buy me for free
Buy me for free
Buy me for free
