A Year

It’s a tragedy, but we all call it “normal”
To be the best of friends then simply disappear
And it’s a sign of strength to never talk about them
Just erase them from our lives
Call me romantic or is everyone a cynic?
Heck, maybe I’m a masochist just choosing to be weak
But I can’t walk around here and pretend that someone precious
Is not still on my mind
And maybe that’s why…
It’s been a year, oh my, oh dear
I’m reminiscing of you
It’s been a year, oh my, oh dear
Do you still think of me love? Do you?
If I hated you forgetting would be easy
But I still long to spend the days and nights I have with you
I felt so singular and was finally able
To forget myself a while
And maybe that why…
It’s been a year, oh my, oh dear
I’m reminiscing of you
It’s been a year, oh my, oh dear
Do you still think of me love? Do you?
And I have tried to forget you, but you’re gentle on my mind
I have tried to forget you, but then I wonder if you’re alright
I’ll bet I’m in your memory just fading as time goes by
Meanwhile…
It’s been a year, oh my, oh dear
I’m reminiscing of you
It’s been a year, oh my, oh dear
I’m reminiscing of you
It’s been a year, oh my, oh dear
I’m reminiscing of you
It’s been a year, oh my, oh dear
Do you still think of me love? Do you?

Batteries

It’s wishing to make money in a store that’s always closed
And hoping to keep warm while wearing sneakers in the snow
It’s always leaving much too late hoping to be on time
The skills I’ve always wanted but would never ever try
It’s everything we could be next to everything we’re not
A world full of potential in which we choose to rot
A prophecy we wrote ourselves and then we just forgot
When it’s all laid out in front of me…
But I can’t get up, I’m feeling stuck
My empty brain gets in the way of all my luck
I just ignore what I adore
I cannot wait, I have no faith in what’s in store
My batteries are sold separately, separately
It’s cleaning out your basement without ever being home
It’s only paying $14 bucks expecting a good show
It’s going to the gym and simply laying on the floor
It’s dying to be thinner, but eating more and more
It’s everything we could be next to everything we’re not
A world full of potential in which we choose to rot
A prophecy we wrote ourselves and then we just forgot
When it’s all laid out in front of me…
But I can’t get up, I’m feeling stuck
My empty brain gets in the way of all my luck
I just ignore what I adore
I cannot wait, I have no faith in what’s in store
My batteries are sold separately, separately
Tripping ourselves, we’re tripping ourselves
Tripping ourselves all the time
Tripping ourselves, we’re tripping ourselves
Tripping ourselves all the time!
It’s wishing to make money in a store that’s always closed
And hoping to keep warm while wearing sneakers in the snow
It’s always leaving much too late hoping to be on time

A world full of potential in which we choose to rot

I cannot wait, I have no faith in what’s in store
My batteries are sold separately
My batteries are sold separately!
Though it’s all laid out…

Try

We all have pain
We all have our own histories
We all have doubt
We all have insecurities
Yet I, I take it all in stride!
You gotta try, try
Because nothing hurts like never knowing
You owe it to yourself, just keep on going
Try, try
Although sometimes things don’t work out in the end
You gotta try
We all have fear,
We tell ourselves we’ve not a chance
We are so blind
We under-rate experience
Oh why do we lead such narrow lives?
You gotta try, try
Because nothing hurts like never knowing
You owe it to yourself, just keep on going
Try, try
Although sometimes things don’t work out in the end
You gotta try
We rest on pillows wrapped in barbed wire
Don’t rest on pillows that steal your fire
Just try, try
Because nothing hurts like never knowing
You owe it to yourself, just keep on going
Try, try
Although sometimes things don’t work out in the end
Oh, sometimes things do work out in the end…
If you try

Advice
03:46

I hear what you’re saying
But I do not want to be like you
You say you can teach me…
But I do not want to be like you!
I cannot tell what I think anymore
Too many people telling me how I should live
I cannot tell what I think anymore
Too many people inside my head!
You say I’m wanderin’…
But I just need to take my time
You say I’m wanderin’…
I’m sorting through the junk that surrounds my peace of mind, ‘cause I’ve got more…
I’ve got more advice than I can handle
I’ve got more advice than I can take
I’ve got more advice than I can palate
I’ve got more advice than I can fake having interest in anymore
I’ll sit here and listen
Add your words to my catalogue inside
I’ll sit here and listen
Then fail to reconcile to live and to survive!
I cannot tell what I think anymore
Too many people telling me how I should live
I cannot tell what I think anymore
Too many people inside my head!
You say I’m wanderin’…
But I just need to take my time
You say I’m wanderin’…
I’m sorting through the junk that surrounds my peace of mind, ‘cause I’ve got more…
I’ve got more advice than I can handle
I’ve got more advice than I can take
I’ve got more advice than I can palate
I’ve got more advice than I can fake having interest in anymore
Maybe I could use a new direction
But I need to know what I want
I’m always open to suggestions
But now I do not know my own mind
No, I…
I cannot tell what I think anymore
I cannot tell you anything
More
I’ve got more advice than I can handle
I’ve got more advice than I can take
I’ve got more advice than I can palate
I’ve got more advice than I can fake having interest in any-
I cannot tell what I think anymore, no
I cannot tell you anything!
Yeah, more
I’ve got more advice than I can handle
I’ve got more advice than I can take
I’ve got more advice than I can palate
I’ve got more advice than I can fake having interest in anymore

Stereotypical

Another face in the crowd
You can’t hear me it’s too loud
I have a car parked in this never-ending lot
I walk the same streets as you
And wait in line with you too
And keep on dreaming that I’m something that you’re not
‘Cause I can’t believe…
I refuse to be…
Stereotypical
Is that my life?
A Tuesday night?
As I sit in my cubicle
I’m singing inside!
‘Cause I dreamed of being the best
And using my breath for more than pushing papers across my desk
I dreamed of being the best at
Something... x3
My lost identity is cackling
Gloating I am not something
More than just another girl living next door
But all my efforts were fruitless
Wanna crumple and burn this
Never-ending list of all my failed attempts
‘Cause I can’t believe…
I refuse to be…
Stereotypical
Is that my life?
A Tuesday night?
As I sit in my cubicle
I’m singing inside!
‘Cause I dreamed of being the best
And using my breath for more than pushing papers across my desk
I dreamed of being the best at
Something... x3
Another face in the crowd
You can’t hear me it’s too loud
I have a car parked in this never-ending lot
