Introverted 03:44
lyrics

I turn my music down on the weekends I pack my clothes away and wash my hair I make myself a nice dinner inside I watch TV in my underwear Turn off my phone and lock all the doors shut I haven’t shaved in too long to count Tell all my friends to go away swiftly Turn off the lights and get my ass to bed I’m introverted a little bit perverted Wake on the wrong side of bed every day If you want me there’s a better place to be so Take your pride and just walk away I met a girl down at the market She said I had good taste in socks I tried to say something bout her hair but I Locked up and bit on my tongue Went to the pound to find a companion I want a friend that I can throw a bone To my dismay they just would not have me Who could’ve guessed my dog days were done I’m introverted a little bit perverted Wake on the wrong side of bed every day If you want me there's a better place to be so Take your pride and just walk away I’m introverted a little bit perverted Wake on the wrong side of bed every day If you want me there's a better place to be so Take your pride and just walk away I’m introverted a little bit perverted Wake on the wrong side of bed every day If you want me there's a better place to be so Take your pride and just walk away

Pinocchio 03:15

Oh my god I’m running low on creativity Short on Jedi mind tricks that I use to keep you from confronting me I was an angel but I lost my need for wings I keep replacing both my legs to stand on but the fuel must be the thing Things go wrong when I lie cuz you can tell The way I remember to go through hell I don’t want to be a number that you might employ More than anything I wanna be a real boy I think I’m getting quite the hang of cutting all my strings Biting chunks out of the hand that feeds me all these fake and putrid things Giving my fingers the vacation that they need Making my way to the hills with dignity and most impressive speed Pinocchio knows he knows knows he’s going down Things go wrong when I lie cuz you can tell The way I remember to go through hell I don’t want to be an application I don’t want to be another forgetful face I don’t want to be a number that you might employ More than life itself I wanna be a real boy And someday if I crash and burn and never build a thing I’ll take you puppets with me when I go

There Goes The Chaperone 02:52
lyrics

Thump thump, who's there? Someone I shut out long ago A certain strawberry nose With an unwarranted ego Knock knock, who's there? Is an argument a joke to you You've got me right where you want me Now what do you want me to do And I'm spinning my wheels just to get nowhere I'm wasting time that could've been spent alone I don't know how to lie, so I'll just stare And with a silent snap, there goes the chaperone Scritch scratch, oh no They're coming back again The system everyone knows Start the countdown backwards from ten Click click, here comes A critic to throw off my zen I can be rigid and frozen, a statue Wanting to escape through the ink of my pen And I'm spinning my wheels just to get nowhere I'm wasting time I shouldn't have spent alone I see my peak go by, should I send up a flare? And with a paper slip, there goes the chaperone And maybe I'm growing as a person Maybe life's not measured by trophies on a shelf Maybe I'm discovering who I am and what my goals are Or maybe I'm just lying to myself So now I'm spinning my wheels just to get nowhere I'm wasting time that could've been spent alone It's a shot in the dark, it's my nightmare And with a tip of the hat, there goes the chaperone And with a tip of the hat, there goes the chaperone And with a tip of the hat, there goes the chaperone

And we'll wake up our own terms Your knees are sore I’m getting bored and my bed is filled with worms And you say that we're doing fine Second guessed our GPS and I'd say we're back in line I’ll wipe out the circles all around my eyes I’ll cut down the trees on which you bake your cherry pies So we go out to the theme park And in a while I start to smile as I see where my ex marks And you go to the coffee shop And you pick up but I’m the one who’ll pay it to the top I’ll wipe out the circles all around my eyes I’ll cut down the trees on which you bake your cherry pies

I know it’s been a while but I’m sure you can guess It’s safer in Dallas, Texas than with UPS I don’t care if they like what they see I’ll simply build a bonfire and head to the sea Because I don’t want to die alone no fame is worth that much No I just wanna grow up and old into a world that won’t hold me down No I just wanna I think I know my hands and they’re ready to purge Because my jokes and pokes and texts to you can’t keep up with my antics And what I’ve been doing is picking away at my heart just like a surgeon And I’m frantic I’m turning straight into him I might still be a child but I can’t let you win Because I don’t want to die alone no fame is worth that much No I just wanna grow up and old into a world that won’t hold me down No I just wanna I think it just quite hit me now I just can’t seem to think of any reason left to frown I think it just quite hit me now Call me habitual but I think I’ve figured all this out I think I wanna girl who can steal my whole heart But I’m scared to hand the scalpel or throw her a dart I don’t care if you like what you see Just promise to build a bonfire and argue with me If anything ever Was any bit better Than you and me whether It’s birds of a feather Than don’t for a second think anything of it Cuz you and me know there’s no one to covet And reason alone can’t explain why I love it So don’t you go doubting us in the same old fashion And please, for me, show some fucking passion I don’t want to die alone no fame is worth that much No I just wanna grow up and old into a world that won’t hold me down No I just wanna kill I don’t want to die no fame is worth that much No I just wanna grow up and old into a world that won’t hold me down No I just wanna

The Dancer 03:11
lyrics

Have you seen the dancer that's on everybody's lips? Promiscuous, hypnotic with the drifting of her hips She's draped in silk and satin, spreading love and wealth and lies Mysterious, erotic with the shifting of her eyes I wanna know the secrets That you don't share with the world I wanna know who it is Behind that smile and those pearls Honesty and elegance are foreign to her kind While modesty and ettiquette hold no place in her mind Sprawling on the floor, and crawling towards the men While they're falling into love's abysss, she kisses "Think again" I wanna know the secrets That you don't share with the world I wanna know who it is Behind that smile and those pearls Have you seen the dancer that's on everybody's lips? Promiscuous, hypnotic with the drifting of her hips She's draped in silk and satin, spreading love and wealth and lies Mysterious, erotic with the shifting of her eyes

Welcome 03:39

Welcome to my store Feel free to browse around Just be sure that nothing ends up On the ground Because you break you buy And I don't know why Anymore Are you interested in something you see? Is there anything that I can do? Can I help you find something you're looking for? Not something you say, someone like you Welcome to the cafe Let me pull out your chair I'll go grab us a couple of coffees We can split an eclair We should do this again At a quarter to ten Saturday Are you interested in something you see? Is there anything that I can do? Can I help you find something you're looking for? Not something you say, someone like you Welcome to my life Feel free to stick around You keep my spirits high And my feet on the ground I'll get down on one knee And I'll ask you to be My man Are you interested in something you see? Is there anything that I can do? Can I help you find something you're looking for? Not something you say, someone like you

Who's Keeping 03:15
lyrics
buy track
My condo's lease has a stranglehold on me My winning smile is quickly losing the lead I wake up every day for a job that could be automated Was a diamond in the rough, but now I'm jaded Who's keeping an eye on me Who's telling them lies Who's keeping your secrets safe Who am I to idolize? Who am I to idolize? I fold my bills into origami shapes I take my car to see "Planet of the Apes" Pixels replace the flame at concerts and a candlelit dinner My vodka tonic tastes like sparkling paint thinner Who's keeping an eye on me Who's telling them lies Who's keeping your secrets safe Who am I to victimize? Who am I to victimize? Who's keeping an eye on me Who's telling them lies Who's keeping your secrets safe Who am I to patronize? Who am I to patronize?

Spoiled 02:05
lyrics

Every time you come visit you know I can’t help myself But pushing flowers is least I can do make you think to take with you I recall the night was Late in the fall The snow was starting blowing The ground, the ground, the ground, was right above your feet The street, the street, was somewhere underneath Your teeth, they bite, the ones that I could see And you, you spoiled When you forget yourself and walk outside, will you remember me? When you're taking new photographs will you talk about it, and crop me out It seems to me that letting go Proves simply when brooding over The ground, the ground, the ground, was right above your feet The street, the street, was somewhere underneath Your teeth, they bite, the ones that I could see And you, you spoiled me for being alone I will be the ground on which you build your last step

1 in 3 and somehow I feel like my odds are slim Preparing to bury my head No matter how much sand there might under you and him Now I’m feeling like the walking dead I don’t need an answer We’ll both be up late tonight You, your pride is cancer So make sure your parents are right Adeeba deeba so good to meet ya Tell me a little about yourself Where you go and where do you come from And how does it feel to be on your shelf Your face is glass and so is your staircase You might wanna get to climbing now Tell me tell me say where your love is I need to know that you are okay Salieri Mozart look like romance next to you I can taste your smile through your zeal And your palette’s dry I know but find a shade of blue To paint a picture showing your appeal I don’t need an answer We’ll both be up late tonight You, your pride is cancer So make sure your parents are right Adeeba deeba so good to meet ya Tell me a little about yourself Where you go and where do you come from And how does it feel to be on your shelf Your face is glass and so is your staircase You might wanna get to climbing now Tell me tell me say where your love is I need to know that you are okay Let me wake up my own I’ll let you know when I’m full grown I’ll take the last one with my hands Just promise me to change your plans Adeeba deeba so good to meet ya Tell me a little about yourself Where you go and where did come from And how does it feel to be on your shelf Your face is glass and so is your staircase You might wanna get to climbing now Tell me tell me say where your love is I need to know that you are okay
