Brick
Album: Whatever and Ever Amen
6am day after christmas
i throw some clothes on in the dark
the smell of cold
car seat is freezing
the world is sleeping
i am numb
up the stairs to her apartment
she is balled up on the couch
her mom and dad went down to charlotte
they're no home to find us out
and we drive
now that i have found someone
i'm feeling more alone than i ever have before
she's a brick and i'm drowning slowly
off the coast and i'm headed nowhere
she's a brick and i'm drowning slowly
they call her name at 7:30
i pace around the parking lot
then i walk down to buy her flowers
and sell some gifts that i got
can't you see
it's not me you're dying for
now she's feeling more alone than she ever has before
she's a brick and i'm drowning slowly
off the coast and i'm headed nowhere
she's a brick and i'm drwoning slowly
as weeks went by it showed that she was not fine
they told me son it's time to tell the truth
she broke down and i broke down
'cause i was tired of lying
driving home to her apartment
for the moment we're alone
she's alone
i'm alone
now i know it
(repeat chorus)
Selfless, Cold and Composed
Album: Whatever and Ever Amen
I said what you wanted to hear
And what I wanted to say
So I will take it back
Are all the dishes in tact?
Let them be broken
It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
You remain selfless, cold, and composed
You've done me no favor
to call and be nice
Telling me I
can take anything I like
You don't owe me to be so polite
You've done no wrong
You've done no wrong
Get out of my sight
It's easy to be
Easy and free
when it doesn't mean anything
You remain selfless, cold and composed
Come on baby now throw me
a right to the chin
Don't just stare like
you never cared
I know you did
You just smiled
like a bankteller
Telling me blankly
Have a nice life
(Chorus)
Song for the Dumped
Album:Whatever and Ever Amen
So you wanted
to take a break
Slow it down some and
have some space
Well f**k you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back you b**ch
I want my money back
And don't forget to give
me back my black t-shirt
I wish I hadn't
bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me
on your front portch
Give me my money back
Give me my money back you b**ch
I want my money back
And don't forget to give
me back my black t-shirt
And don't forget
