It Still Hurts

Hi
Sorry that I should write
Haven’t heard from you since the time
That I told you I’d found the true love of my life
I just hope you’re OK
Living hundreds of miles away
Does it matter, though? It’s been so long since you
Made up your mind and decided to cut me out of
Your life's nothing but playing pretend to please others
I’ve stopped waiting around for your heart to reach out but
It still hurts
No, you don’t have reply
I’m not asking for your advice
I just wanted to let you know you’re on my mind
What I gave you was real
Too bad you’re too scared to reveal
To yourself how much better you’d feel if you
Made up your mind and decided to cut me out of
Your life’s nothing but playing pretend to please others
I’ve stopped waiting around for your heart to reach out but
It still hurts
It still hurts
It still, oh yes, it still
Oh oh oh oh
It still hurts

Bitter Oranges

Your words were bitter oranges
hanging ripe from a tree
Like any child I took a stick
and tried to knock one down for me
The branches I was wiggling, oh
to get you to acknowledge me
Your words were bitter oranges
living high and looking down on me
You held them thinking I’d never leave
but when I did you set one free
I ran back quickly and I ate, oh,
your perfect unforgiving bait
And now we’re talking like
nothing’s happened, right?
You’re now talking to
Bet you don’t know who
Your words were bitter oranges
I stung my mouth crushing seeds
I tried to smile but then I spit
and there you go again, you leave
You’re never gonna love me back
Oh, but then again you never have
And we’re still talking like
nothing’s happened, right?
This you’re talking to
Bet you don’t know who
And now we’re talking like
nothing’s happened, right?
This you’re talking to
Bet you don’t know who

Wallpaper

Going back home
tears up my eyes
The house looks different
But at least grandma’s alive
I just float
Like a waving curtain
My clumsy steps
Walking these floors uncertain
Our time has passed us by now
It’s just doing its job
Cuz I’m the wallpaper that you peeled off
When its colors let you down
I grew into my own self
You found me inappropriate
So when you’re done muting my sincerest voice
Would you please take down my portrait?
So when you’re done muting my sincerest voice
Would you please take down my portrait?
Cause I’m taking yours down
Taking yours down
Taking yours down
Taking yours down
Where did we go?
And were we ever here?
Hey, where did you take us?
What did you make of us?
Where did we go?
And were we ever here?
Hey, where did you take us?
What did you make of us?
Where did we go?
And were we ever here?
Hey, where did you take us?
What did you make of us?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go, now?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
And where do we go from here?

Recoil

More than half the time
I can stay aligned
Then I recoil
Faster than I'd hoped
Take a step back
You'll pick up my slack
And then you'll know
There's nowhere left to go
Bring back the fighting
Dim down the lighting
We’ve trained a monster
But we play the part in asking "why us now?”
Every waking hour
You'll sift all the flour
But the dough
I'll knead/need it for my show
Faster than you'd hoped
You'll be heading home
And I'll explode
Into the unknown
Don't pace yourself
The timing's never gonna be right
I'm sad on Saturday again
Is it all because of you, my indulgent expiring placebo?
We’re so fun
We're staying fun, fun
We're still fun, fun
We're still fundamentally flawed
We're fun, fun
We're staying fun, fun
We're still fun, fun
We're still functional at least, right?
