Shipwrecked Soul

/
1.
Shipwrecked Soul I’ve been adrift now for fifteen weeks I’ve had some time to go over my mistakes seemed like it was all within my reach now I find myself swimming toward the beach I didn’t wait too long but I waited long enough to be sure I was the soul survivor swan on my back so I could see the stars and wondered how it was that we got out this far Now I’m trying just trying as hard as I can try gonna fly like a kite way up in the sky ‘cause things are different now they have changed there are a few things I feel could be rearranged

Autumn Rain 03:33
Autumn Rain Weren’t you afraid that I’d run away that I don’t believe what I say the truth was plain to see and I’m speaking for only me weren’t you watching when he caught your eye weren’t you watching when I started to cry weren’t you watching he was more than a friend I was watching the beginning of the end you leave me standing in the autumn rain wondering if you’ll be back again You had said you’d never run away when you did it was instantly was I supposed to be the fickle one was I supposed to take it all in fun you leave me crying in a burning pain wondering if you’ll be back again you leave me crying in a burning pain no you’ll never be back again
3.
Sierra Sid 06:34
Sierra Sid Woke up in Reno with the sun coming in I said to myself what the hell are we doing sometimes I wonder why I’m here at all sometimes all it takes to fly is to let yourself fall woke up in a dream inside of a dream I realized it’s not as bad as it seems all these words I say don’t really mean the thing to you that they do for me lost on the highway with nothing left to believe images come and go of the people I used to be if the night sky changes then so do your dreams I’d like to give them up before they give up me I fell asleep somewhere I thought I’d never see with a beautiful woman lying naked next to me men I’ve never met trying to hunt me down a wolf cried in the west and I heard the sound why can’t this moment last until the sun explodes and eternity come crashing in on one resounding note the biggest secret is that it really can but first we must let go of trying to understand
4.
Divine Decadence Zero to sixty and how much time has passed you’ve got me falling in love almost too fast you’ve got me waking scared in my shoes you’ve got me wondering how much I have to lose I’m not saying that this isn’t what I want I’m not playing any games with your heart I’m not leaving anything up to chance because this feels like divine decadence Everything’s spinning is this a dream am I really holding you next to me all my dreams end with me waking up but I remember coming in and you’ll see me when I go maybe I’m really here maybe your really here maybe it’s clear if we look past our fear Standing at the head of a path I want to walk pushing some emotions in between our talk I really wonder if you feel the way I do I really wonder what it’s like inside of you I’m not saying that I know what I want I’m not playing any games with your heart I’m not leaving anything up to chance because I’m lost in divine decadence
5.
Giving it All Feel the seasons changing one after the next the setting sun marks its’ way so far we’ve traveled on down the road and still there are things that haven’t changed baby your love comes at such a cost I’m giving it all but it’s never enough trading my dreams for piece of mind I wonder what we’d be if we took the time I see myself writing the next line to the story of my life if I gave you the pen what would you write please tell me what would you write baby my love come at such a cost your giving it all but it’s never enough trading your dreams for piece of mind if trying to understand isn’t worth the time Taste the colors changing as you see with different eyes things are what we make them be if only forgetting the future and the past will ever let this moment be free
6.
Without Image I love you but you don’t make me happy wait that’s not the way I should have started it’s just getting harder for me to feel that I know our way hasn’t started I wait all my dreams for you and they’re the only time your near me tell me now what can I do when you don’t even hear me I left all my anger in a place behind me eyes hoping that something would change and you would realize that I love you means you can kill me if that’s what you’d like I love you means all it takes is your neglect to twist the knife I love you means you own my soul for the rest of my life I loved you but you never believed it and that’s the only way I could have started It just seems so sad that I gave you what you asked and wound up like the rest broken hearted I gave all my dreams to you and I wished you’d live them with me I know it was foolish to do but you damn near convinced me I left all my anger that told me not to try hoping that something had changed you know I realize that I love you means you can kill me if that’s what you’d like I love you means all it takes is your neglect to twist the knife I love you means you own my soul but there’s the rest of my life
7.
From the Ground Whatever she screamed I never heard it at the time I was far away lost in measures of music that someone in my head always plays whatever I dream now will replace it like a made up photograph story but the truth I won’t have to erase it my baby did that for me everything’s wrong with this picture everything’s played on this scene I wonder will I even miss her now that I get to be free whatever is learned from this train wreck whatever gets beat into me it’s not like I have any questions just that I can barely believe what I am now id reborn lie I read the original story the characters I play separated form me whatever I dream now will replace it like a made up photograph story but the truth I won’t have to erase it my baby did that for me everything’s wrong with this picture everything’s played on this scene I wonder will I even miss her now that I get to be free how can this be our fate now isn’t it too late it’s not like I have any questions just a few things I never mention
8.
Empty and Dark Baby where were you when I was needing your hand baby where were you running as fast as you can I turned around and you were gone and all my future plans have since moved on baby back when I was trying to set things right you were up with someone else late into the night seemed I turned around then he was holding your hand and now I don’t even get to be your friend this city feels so empty and dark ever since the day that you broke my heart Baby how come all your promises didn’t come how come all the fairytales are always undone seems like nothing is ever the same after paying the price of balancing blame This city feels so empty and dark ever since the day that you broke my heart
9.
Sometimes 03:13
Sometimes We get together sometimes when we run into each other then we pretend to talk like we were each about to call the other we both know the way that it is at the first look we always look twice wishing we were both somewhere else you only talk to be nice we act like old friends sometimes when we can’t face just what we’ve done asking each other weighted questions like if we cared we’d be undone and it always seems like such a waste I never saw your face and it always seems like such a waste the two of us never looked into each others eyes again
10.
Wooden Heart 05:34
Wooden Heart Try not to leave yourself open she said try not to leave yourself open she said to me people will take whatever they can get people will get whatever they can get she said you can keep your wooden heart if you don’t give it away you can keep your wooden heart if you don’t give it away people will take whatever you can give people will take whatever you can give I said
