This Blue Shall Pass

I don’t feel so well
Forgive if you could not tell
I smile when I’m sad
Go inward when I’m mad as hell
I don’t have the strength
To carry all of your dead weight
Maybe I’m just fragile
Or maybe I know when it’s time to clear my plate
I’ll stay starving, brokenhearted
Can’t eat in the mornings
I can’t sleep well in the evenings
I can’t wake up and wish it all away
Stay calm in the moment
I can’t see straight where I’m going
I can’t run faster than it takes
This blue shall pass
This blue shall pass

Know My Pain
03:21

I fell in love with every freckle on his face
And when the sun went down the way he sang my name
I fell in love with all the roles we used to play
That star that cast a shadow on my fate
But when a ghost took his place
Could he feel my pain
Could he feel my pain
I fell in love with the stare behind his eyes
It was a wild kind of crazy I liked
Walked the aisle to the roles that we defined
While he cast a wicked spell on my mind
And when he trapped me in flames
Could he feel my pain
Could he feel my pain
Disappearing in plain sight
It’s like lightening striking twice
I fall in love in love with fools
It’s a thing, a thing I do
Calling out to the next one on the line
Will you know my story
Will yours be like mine
Two broken people with a yearning to survive
Hoping that we can find a love of another kind
Will you love me the same
When you know my pain
Will you be gentle and safe
When you know my pain

Nature
03:03

I knew, I knew your nature
I knew that you’d take the low hanging fruit cause it’s easier
I knew I couldn’t save you
Ignored the signs but a snake always bites, same old behavior
It doesn’t feel good to hurt to be right
All of the truth that I wished was a lie
Call me crazy
But I call it love not well spent
I knew what was on the table
I made the choice, took the poison, a real life fable
It’s true I expected more
Kept on believing that you’d quit deceiving me at every turn
It doesn’t feel good to hurt to be right
All of the sleep that I lost in the night
Call me crazy
But I call it time not well spent
You could shed your skin but I see who you are
You are what you are, you are what you are
I knew your nature
You could shed your skin but I see who you are
You are what you are, you are what you are
It doesn’t feel good to hurt to be right
All of the truth that I wished was a lie
Call me crazy
But I call it love not well kept

Attic
03:01

I’ve got an attic in my house
I go up there when I’m down
Holding myself
Ignore the sounds
I’ve got an addict in my house
How did you get there so far away
And are you coming back to earth before it’s too late
I won’t be the one to catch you so I’ve finally got to let you fade
Once upon a medieval time
Thrust and I parry with the knight
Taking the blows as I throw mine
Once a pawn of an evil eye
How did you get there so far away
And are you coming back to earth before it gets too late
I won’t be the one to catch you so I’ve finally got to let you fade
Roots in the garden
Holes in the fence
Leaks in the roof of a house I cannot fix
Shattered widows to my soul
These eyes seen things that shake the bones
No architect could call this house a home
I’ve got an attic in my house
Climb the stairs and I clean it out
Douse it in paint and gasoline
I’ll get the addict out of me
