Sugarpea #331 All I Know
01:03
|
|||
|
I apologize if I am
Coming on too strong
Or if I’m not pursuing you
As adamantly as approved
And if I seem a little nervous
Its because I don’t deserve this
And at the moment that you turn
Ill walk away just how I’ve learned
Its all I know
|

Sugarpea #332 Carrion
02:28
|
|||
|
I see the warning signs
The road is blocked
You should go home
But I’m not ever sure
Do broken dates
Make broken bones?
I don’t think so
But that shows what I know
Carrion, road meat
The slightest step
Will lead me there
I should’ve turned back
Nothing good has ever come from here
|
||||
3. |
||||
|
As if being alone was the worst thing that could happen
I’m pretty sure I’ll find way to live and manage
Am I wearing a sign that says “he’s desperate”
Does this whole city know my reputation

Sugarpea #334 And Again
01:07
|
|||
|
I wish I
Could get you to talk to me
I wish I
Didn’t want your gaze upon me
I wish I
Really just did not care
I wish and I wish
But wishings got me nowhere
|
||||
5. |
||||
|
I’m dreaming that you’ll tell me yes
Despite these arms around my neck
I mean you couldn’t be into be me (total denial)
Just look at our history
(Or the graphic novel)
Tonight could be a memory
Of a drunken older me
Wishing I had or I hadn’t taken the role of a date between your knees
I couldn’t separate
(Your thighs)
Making love, being intimate
(Your eyes)
But what is the difference
(Your kiss upon my cheek)
When I’ve already given in
to doubt…
(The canine similarities)
|
||||
6. |
||||
|
Nobody wonders who I sleep beside
But they'd be disappointed
And if you shone a light in my eyes
You'd find the premise very much vacated
Wherever I've gone
Ill surely get your message
Once I've waded through the trash and cleared away the wreckage
In some odd days my year will start again
Come sooner come sooner
In my odd way I will always be the crooner, the crooner
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
Not much hope
Of letting this go
I'm letting you know in advance
Our quest ended
But was amended
To mention directors cut scenes
One whole year
Of bonus material
That no one had ever seen
Just to explain
I'm always in pain
Like i was cut by a nazgul blade
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
Hey, I know
That its late, but here I go
I’ve no friends to talk to
And I’m tired of being alone
There’s an end
To this story
And I know that
We’ve found it
Strangely enough all of my friends, they think I’m sick
Because you’re the only subject that I stick with
Small town messiah at 26
Using your body as my crucifix
I just want to know that you’re smiling
But I’m not altruistic
I’d like to hear you laughing too
And I know I’m being selfish

Sugarpea #339 Joyland
02:16
|
|||
|
I’ve run out of things to say
No excitement in the chase
We just cleared the road of wreckage
There’s no need to ever mention…
You and me again
Your boyfriend and all your friends
This is no mystery
The killer here was history
And now I’ve moved to Joyland
The fun, but lonely island
And I’ve run every trail
But cant outrun the failure of…

Sugarpea #341 Hardwired
03:44
|
|||
|
I’m hardwired to wanna lay at your feet
I cant deny that I am a hopeless romantic
Certain the world is something sweet
But too bitter for the likes of me
And I always have to wonder
Whats keeping me together
Is it the hope of love to be
Is it refusal to let it get to me
I spend my time pining for the one that got away
Unless I’m trying to move on with another girl to chase
And when I am alone I feel so bored and aloof
If I could snip the roses from my veins
I’m sure I surely would
This is who I am
Sadly optimistic man
Cant seem to change that
But why should I give a damn…
|

Where do you go
When you have no place to go
And the people that you know
All have people of their own
And the city’s constellation
Has you feeling dreadful distant
Where do you go?
And what do you say
For verbal status updates
How are you feeling today
How many pills did you take
And if you felt any colder
Your arms would break
When reaching out to others
You reach for the handbrake
|
||||
13. |
||||
|
Its my lucky day
At least I say so
Get myself some drinks
And head out for another rock show
And keep my head high
On the top of dusty old shelves
Maybe my luck could change
Here’s to Friday the 13th
You’ll see me get well
Or you’ll see me in hell
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
Ill take a shot for the friends
Ill never see again
Take another shot for the memories forgotten
I need another drink for the ones that I remember
And one for every year that we tried to kill each other
And I will drink again for the cities that burn
Whiskey for the tragedies
In my state, and all around the world
Gin for the sins inflicted by the mad
The ones who commit it and those who don’t understand
I will drink till I’m sick of all of the alcohol
Drink because I know that I have almost no control
Every senseless death weighs heavy on my heart
But its the living with their bigotry and ignorance that is tearing me apart

Sugarpea #345 Achromatic
01:32
|
|||
|
See this dipshit
He’s a full romantic
Using words he doesn’t know
Like fucking achromatic
And here he’s stuck between two unknowns
The girl without tact or the girl with no clothes
And yes the girl without
We wait and frame up close
Because she’s got patience
At least a healthy dose
And yet there’s still a girl who would take off her clothes
But set between her legs he’d never be too close
“A last resort for us both
I suppose, I suppose.”

Sugarpea #346 Crit Fail
01:42
|
|||
|
Sorry, I’m not home right now
Just leave a message while I’m out
Tell me what did I say to you
When I was drunk, an honest fool
Or tell me all about the way
You throw the dice so perfectly
I am all ones and you’re all twenties
Or don’t say anything at all
Its just enough to see your number
Flash across the screen
Should I have left this on your machine
Should I admit this is simply me
Should I apologize for falling prematurely

Sugarpea #347 Wet Leaves
02:13
|
|||
|
They say the snow is only temporary
Then why am I always cold and soaking
I drift like a leaf in the gutter
I was high now I lie on my back and I wonder
Is this the end of me
Is this all that Ill ever be
Clinging to the heels
Of whoever steps on me
|
||||
18. |
||||
|
You could hear a pin drop
If you were inside my head
And you’d see the grenade
Just before it detonates
I should’ve slept when I had the chance
But I’m hardly one to pass up a dance
|
||||
19. |
||||
|
Well the well is nearly dry
But I’m still wading below, looking up to the sky
And it doesn’t feel much better
Than sitting in my car
Reaching for the steering wheel and still going nowhere

Sugarpea #350 By The End
02:42
|
|||
|
I could pull this plug before we’d even start
Just as painful if not quicker way to break my fragile heart
at least then it’d be self inflicted
and that’s a pain that I can live with
You’d think after 349 songs
the emotional flood would stop
but if I’ve learned anything from this year
it’s that I’m frequently wrong
There is no pill that I could take, there is no drink that I could make
There are no words that I could say, to cure my chronic heartache
Somewhere ahead, love stains my lifeline
but life without love, turns days into lifetimes
and without the buffer of my medicine
depression’s a poison that will leave me dead
Two days without and I’m back to the floor
scripting final episodes, cause I can’t write any more
The tales of dead boys, always end somewhere
The tales of dead boys always end somewhere
A corpse by this winter, a ghost by next summer
No more sad songs, the fates cut my chords
That’s it. I’m gone. A bummer no more…

Sugarpea #351 Bad Jokes
01:53
|
|||
|
This one boy, this one girl
walk into a bar
the punchline to a joke
that’s gone too far
and yet they’re still laughing
This sad girl, this sad boy
are falling apart
hold each together
for the next 4 to 5 hours
and yet they’re still laughing
and we’ve seen every play
and we know how it ends
A smoke in her car
asleep in his bed
a few tender kisses
but no love between them
a few honest laughs
but no love between them
no love, no love
|
||||
22. |

If I have to hear that stupid song one more time
I’ll be a dead man away from losing my mind
A gruesome murder to kill the mundane
A break from the dreadfully boring Sunday
Customers intolerant and dumb out of habit
Worse than a comic on deadly dead harlots
But I’ve every issue, risque variants
The mind of a rube just might be contagious
|
||||
23. |
||||
|
Today sucks
But there is hope for tomorrow
Hope we have money
Stay afloat in our sea of sorrows
This could be the buildup
To a beautiful climax
This could be the dripping edge
From your thighs to your legs

Sugarpea #354 Nights Out
01:58
|
|||
|
I go where no one goes
Sing songs that no one knows
The moon is what I follow
Tonight I ride with shadows
Sun has forsaken me
She burns me constantly
Forget my distant needs
The shadows are calling
The shadows take me where no one else does
The shadows hold me like no one ever will
No one has to wonder whats become of me
Tonight I ride with shadows
the shadows of the city

Cactuar girl is shaking
She hasn’t been eating
And she certainly hasn’t been sleeping
I’m starting to worry
In a platonic sense
That maybe there’s a reason this ended like it did
Wont you come down from your cave
Wont you come down here with me
Cactuar girl has no space
But a burned out cave
Out of reach by dicks like me
|

We may have finally reached
The me beneath it all
We peeled the layers away
And found there’s nothing to hold
We may have finally reached
The me that’s left from before
We peeled the jackets away
Found a dead rat on the floor
We may have finally reached
The me without love interest
Liquor and title were drained
Realize there’s nobody left
|

I am not the guy I was
Way back we parked
Beneath the stars
And wedding bells
Chimed in our heads
The oohs and ahhs
The frightening sirens
And in the car
You had your first
Security came
Soon afterwards
We hit the gas
And fleed the scene
You on your back
Me wiping the windshield
And despite how very scared we were
I knew I was in love for sure
And now I write these banal words
Blah blah blah,
Sincerely, this loser

Sugarpea #358 Peep Show

|

And the pills just stopped working
And I don’t feel anything
But their eyes always upon me
But they don’t know anything
And everyone needs to help me
But they don’t know what I need
Like the spice of life is much too sweet
Like life is not to my liking

You’ll probably hate me for this
But you can’t, you won’t ignore this
Ears deaf and eyes blinded
I will trace this on your upturned
Palms and I will draw you close
This island will not separate us
Stranded, although we are
There’s no need for us to suffer
I’d like to be your longterm
Lover but haven’t hit the minimum
And I can wait but there’s a
Chance I’m just dragging on
I guess we’ll have to see
Fingers crossed I’m not the only one
Who feels a lifetime better
When you and I are hanging around
And you’ll hold on to this
And I will hold my breath
Until the morning comes again
Until I feel my fingertips
Until the sun lights up your bright eyes
Until I can feel your lips

Nowadays we have to wonder
Are we getting any better
Can we perform without our backs turned
Can I write about you without my stomach turning
Oh its so funny
What you have done to me
I wonder what you see
From your side of the city
Call or send a reply
Operators are standing by
We’d like to hear what you think of me now
Ive a bed, live in a big house

Try as I may I just cant remember
Who it was I was supposed to be
Strangers inform that my reputation proceeds me
But how good can I be
When you sit next to me
And its just not close enough
How good can I be
When I stick like static cling
And I brush respectability off
I guess I will stick to my books
Be all monk like and shit
Studying, distracted, from all that I feel
Ill be a good boy
All doors are closing
All seats are taken
I don’t want to respond
But the music’s still playing
But where can I go
To lose myself
Ditch the loser
Maybe I cant
This is it
Me, the crooner
I guess Ill stick to my books
Ill live as a ghost and all that shit
Running into doors instead of going through them
Ill be a good boy
Whatever that means

Something as simple
As flashing a smile
Dulls the edges
And its much more worthwhile
I’m scared of the end
And what I haven’t done
So I better get to it
Instead of swallowing guns
I’m not ready to let go
No matter how hard this gets
Ill be alone
But Ill try not to be afraid of it

If it seems unfair
Then it likely is
Cause all the best things
Come in your mid twenties
Wheres the money and the lover
Ive been asking for
I’m at the bottom of the list
For a transplanted heart
Wait for it, it’ll happen soon
But patience is a virtue
For all the other losers
And I want mine right now
If it seems unfair
Then you know it is
Adoring fans
Tell me if you relate to this
Everyone Id like to date
Has eyes for someone else
Its like I’m crashing every party
Just to stand by myself
Wait for it to happen
All the advice I receive
Makes no sense to me
And its just that much harder to swallow
When I try too hard
Or not hard enough
I swear
It seems unfair

The end is here
the end of my year
I started, busking on the corner afraid you’d appear
I heard your boyfriend is a downtown bouncer
And the thought I may have seen him always made me shudder
Its all the same
I let myself let it go
Hot black tar over
Familiar roads
There’s just one more day to commemorate
I guess its easy sayin this has all been something great
I doubt you, your friends, your family, will let me see you again
And so I made myself sick wishing I could be him
Killing myself for the sake of you
Because if you couldn’t love me
Then Sugarpea who would
One day left and I was selfishly hoping
I would hear from you again
But I imagine you’re embarrassed or more likely angry
At me for writing all of these things
But there’s one more song left for you and me

This is the longest breakup album that you’ve seen
But how many lovers laid their hearts before your feet
All for the chance that you might change your thoughts on me
Now we roll the credits
C'est la vie
“I love the way you say Sugarpea”
That’s what you wrote inside a note for me
I had to show you just how much that meant to me
But this the end now
C'est la vie
I cant help romanticize the pain that we’ve been through
In love with a girl, the ghost of someone I once knew
And I wear my heart on my sleeve like some jerky jerk heartbreaker
I’m really sorry, I love you, you kill me
C'est la vie
Black ink, slowly
Runs through, my veins
You don’t, know me
You chew, right through
“I love the way you say Sugarpea”
I love the way you say Peaches
I love the way you say its so funny
Now say c'est la vie
