Track Name: Heatstroke
my father was a story
my mother was afraid
they didn't mean to make me
but i got made anyway
since i was a young child
i much prefferred the rain
they asked me are you happy?
i said i can't explain

and i say....

heatstroke yellow
maybe strawberry blue
the strongest thing i ever felt
was feelings for you
so try to look me in the eye
a difficult goodbye
to all the things we hide

i live my life upon a crystal ship
its unbelievable but i keep believin
i never give up till the day i die
i never give up till the day i die

i say...

every single time they come back home from the road
i say tell me where you been to tell me what you gone for
they tell me on the road you end up losing your sole
i'm thinking when they made me they forgot one of those

i say..

rich kids singing of the silver spoon blues
they tell me i can't get in cause theres just no more room
but they lie they look me in the eye
scared of what they'd find
underneath my side uh ohhhh.....

and i hope your right so i can see the sunshine
and i hope your right so cause i don't like this way
and i hope your right so i can change the future
cause i was only hidingin the rain

since i was a young child i seemed to like the rain
you asked me are you happy i said can't explain
i told you i'm a monster uh oh
and i can't seem to feel uh oh
you ask me are you happy uh oh
said no but i am real

and i say...

heatstroke yellow
maybe strawberry blue
the strongest thing i ever felt
was feelings for you
so try to look me in the eye
a difficult goodbye
to all the things we hide uh oh

rich kids singing of the silver spoon blues
they tell you
you can't get in cause theres just no more room
but they lie they look you in the eye
scared of what they'd find
underneath your side
Track Name: Move To The Ocean
do you think about the life you live
say that you have to
think about the things you did
things that they don't do
together we could make a stand
you could take some too
cause i could use a helping hand

we'll move to the ocean
to feed off the daylight
was hoping that you'd understand
i got a darkness darkness
but you don't gotta hold my hand
do you got a darkness darkness
together we could take a stand

first 10 years didn't feel so hard
7 after that seemed to push me too far
jump to 19 i'm livin outta my car
wrote my first song and took back my heart

sick and tired of feeling like i'm such a loser
sick and tiredof feelin it always always
i know iknow i know i know i know i know

we'll move to the ocean
to feed off the daylight
was hoping that you'd understand
i got a darkness darkness
but you don't gotta hold my hand
do you got a darkness darkness
together we could take a stand

steal what you can and keep what you got
give it to the world and don't ever stop
work all day with your feet on the floor
harder harder harder for a little bit more

its possible

do you think about the life you live
say that you had o
think about the things you did
things that they won't do
I think I'm gonna make a stand
you should make one too
together we could make a stand

Track Name: For Yellow Walls
for yellow walls we spent our days into the night together
we built a fire into the night we let it burn forever
we fell in love it fell apart i put it back together

too-oo-oo-oo-oo for you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou

i feel so great but now i'm afraid
too-oo-oo-oo-oo for you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou

no place to live no place to laugh no place to love not ever
when i was young didn't see much see much of love

did you-ou-ou-ou-ou ? did you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou ?

i know i don't got much right now
for what i got i'm proud

are you-ou-ou-ou-ou? are you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou?

for yellow walls we spent our days into the night together
we built a fire into the night we let it burn forever
i feel so great but now i'm afraid

too-oo-oo-oo-oo

hey!!!!! WAIT!!!!

don't missplace all your hate
just learn to shift your shape
but now i'm afraid of you

for yellow walls we spent our days into the night together
we built a fire into the night we let it burn forever
i feel so great but now i'm afraid

too-oo-oo-oo-oo for you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
for you-ou-ou-ou-ou for you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
