"This Is A Forgery"

This is a forgery, this is a forgery
Every single word is plagiarized.
Copied twice and thrice inscribed
This is a forgery.

There is a path,
and to get where its leading,
you've got to be sharp and never bend easy

This is an enemy, this is an enemy
Compliments and chemisty.
Cavalier and so charming
This isnt everything, this isnt everything.
I had a fit and you had a feeling.

There was a path, and to get where its leading
you had to be sharp, you couldnt swerve side to side.
I was a razor and you were a straight line.

This is a travesty, this is a travesty,
every sentiment has been contrived.
Palatable and so refined. Sugar sweet to appetize.
I had a fit and you had a feeling.

There was a path and to get where its leading
you had to be sharp, you couldnt swerve from side to side.
I was a razor and you were a straight line.

This is a forgery, this is a forgery.
Every single word is plagiarized.
Copied twice and thrice inscribed.
This is a forgery.

And we were looking out, for some shining light,
but it was casket black, so we would search all night.

"Jamie"

[Originally written by Weezer]

Jamie, what you doing now?
What you doing now girl?
Please, please tell me
Cause I need to know, I need to know now
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie, I want you to know

Jamie, oh Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

Jamie, what you doing now?
He's dialin' your car phone
Please, please be true
You know that I trust you, do that which you must do
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie, I want you to know

Jamie, oh Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

You've got the Beach Boys, and your firm's got the Stones
But I know you won't leave me alone
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much

You are the most, you're so rad, you're so fresh
And I'm so glad I am yours, you are mine
Show me where and I will sign
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting, waiting

Jamie, oh Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

Jamie, believe me, I won't let you down
Cause you are the best lawyer in town
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much

"I Need A Sure Thing"

You are a razor blade
You are precision-cut
You are a stare sharp as the tack in my eye?
At rest in my veins
[Your pulse in my neck?]
As sharp-edged as questions the time I have left
And so you are on my mind.

I need a burning stake
I need a piercing dart
I need something as hot as it is sharp
And I need to bleed
I need to burn
I need a sure thing
I need a sure thing
And you are a mystery to me

You are a paper bird
Folded and folded and creased
And bent and shaped from a five dollar bill
It's priceless to me
And never spent
It hangs from a ceiling fan over my bed
And so you are on my mind

I need a burning stake
I need a piercing dart
I need something as hot as it is sharp
And I need to bleed
I need to burn
I need a sure thing
And you are a mystery to me

I'll hang my hopes all at once on a rope
There's a possibility that this is happening to someone who's not me
I'll hold my head
Keep it still and pretend
That these spins and the webs
Are actually desirable

I need a burning stake
I need a piercing dart
I need something as hot as it is sharp
And I need to bleed I need to burn
I need a sure thing
And you are a mystery to me

"For Justin"

It's been a year now, since you were here now
And I've been trying to heal inside
Dedications have all been placed
And I see your resemblance in my face
And on our birthday I said an extra wish for you, for you

And I have learned so much since you've been gone
And I have done so little for so long
So now I'll settle up these grievances and focus on the savory
And wave all these discrepancies away
And I'll peter out these misconceptions, give out faith at my discretion
Live a life that you would think was sane, sane

Displaying changes, being made
And I wonder if you ever really wanted it this way
And in your memory they even hung a plaque for you, for you

And I have learned so much since you've been gone
And I have done so little for so long
So now I'll settle up these grievances and focus on the savory
And wave all these discrepancies away
And I'll peter out these misconceptions, give out faith at my discretion
Live a life that would think was sane, sane

"Drowning"

Am i drowning you out?
Boasts of defection
If everything was up to me,
I would be gone by the first sight
The first sight of hope I'd be packed up and out on my way.
Time has been spread so thin
And it's just hours 'fore the day begins.
And the things that are keepin you here are not keepin me here.
The things that are keepin you here
will keep me away.

And "you'll be sorry" isn't that what they'll say?
Don't follow your heart 'cause it just seems to get in your way.
And dont ever leave here and mope at you lesuire and straighten out your
crease dear and truth is in a tall beer

Are you drowing your fears?
Pasts of deception
When everything is hazy then everything will be OK
When everything is hazy then you wont be sad that you stayed.
Time has been spread so thin
And it's just hours 'till the day begins.
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here.
The things that are keeping you here
Will keep me away
And "you'll be sorry" isn't that what they'll say?
Don't follow your heart 'cause it just seems to get in your way
And don't ever leave here and mope at your lesuire and straighten out your
crease dear, and truth is in a tall beer...

Thats the end [3x]

"Anyone, Anyone"

I'm not sure of anyone, anyone
But I've got plans
I'm not asking for everything but sure I could use a hand

Get a little anxious
Sometimes you'll be gone and I'll be left behind
Get a little nervous
Sometimes it'll be my cue and I'll forget my lines
Get a little lost look
And some staring from the corner of my eye
Never really mastered disinterest

I can't see how
The way that you leave me alone makes us close
I must be out of touch
I won't ask you
To give up on the things that seem to keep you gone
But I can be gone too

Feel a little sorry
Sometimes you're not here when I am writing
Feels a little awkward
Sometimes you won't talk but we're not fighting
You hold on to your secrets
And I'm not privy to what is on your mind
But I can't help but feel tired
So tired, so tired, so tired

So tired
