Ah see, I’m not as happy as I was
I think, I’m just projecting on these girls
Maybe, I may project upon myself
And I still haven’t found the strength to ask for help
Its all good, no worries
I’m in no, big hurry
To get away, from hurting
I might be, deserving
Don’t blink, I might just leave you in the dust
But I can’t leave, not without looking back on us
I think, I think I’ve almost had enough
I see, I’m not as happy as I was
Its all good, I’m taking over
Left the bad stuff, on the shoulder
I will take you somewhere better
Just don’t ask, how long to get there

I took your favorite songs
And I made them a collage
And the lyrical barrage
Had me taken to triage
Ive got a broken heart
Yeah its tearing me apart
Me and everyone, Oh god
Could I be more blah blah blah?
I play your favorite songs
Over and over
I'm not sure what I want
But I perform this drunken jaunt
And all our spots are local haunts
When he's filling up your slot
Yeah I'm the crazy one
Yeah I wrote these songs
So what if hes a douche?
what if that's what you're used to?

Pick it up, just another problem
waking up, and drinking in the AM
I know that you're really struggling just to keep it down
Keep it down
Little boy, what's that you're chasing
so annoyed, cause nobody's taking
you away, and your mind off of things
Keep your mind off
You've gotta let it go, but you've gotta take it slow
and I know you're gonna go, everywhere you shouldn't though
like the backseat of her car, or sitting in her bed
and I know it wasn't said, but I know you're thinking it
If there's no such thing as a soul mate, what time have you wasted?
And who's gonna tell you, it might not be worth it?
Pumping yourself full of gasoline only to end up stranded
on a dead end street
struggling for something that you'll never reach
but the world ends with you and has exactly what you need

Sugarpea #89 Oh Well
01:42
|
|||
|
I'm not sure why I care
but I never met your dad
I'm sure I never will
but oh well...
I've yet to write a song
that clearly conveys why I feel wrong
I'm sure I never will
but oh well...
|

I will wield my guitar
Like a samurai blade
I live without a master
But I have no shame
Like a downtown ronin
I'm roaming down streets
Cutting on corners
For a buck to eat
And though she has my heart
She'll never take my blade
Considering these scars
I'd say its all the same
I will wield my guitar
Its all I know how
Ronin for a year
Striking enemies down
I am a blade without a master
Unsure of his fate
Wandering, no purpose
And decades too late
|

I tried to run but couldn’t keep away
From the demons that were chasing me
So I just cowered and I begged them off
And when they did, I laughed and took straight off
Oh just like you would do to me
Oh but I love it when you tease
I got pinned straight to the ground
And yet I still claim the crown
I never know when I’m beat
Until you’ve got me underneath the sheets
Oh just like you would do to me
Oh but I love it when you tease
I saw a cat on the road
I had to take it home
Just like you would do
But she didn’t want to be held in my grasp
So she bit and she cried and she scratched
Just like you would do

Sugarpea #92 Piss Poor
02:28
|
|||
|
I'm so angry
I can't even think
You always skip like stone
just before you sink
Oh you're not gonna make it
I cant take it, I but I will break it
I can't be the only one losing sleep
I can't be the only one losing everything
I am so depleted
that I could stop right here
Refuel myself and leave it
full of cheaply made, piss poor beer
|

This isn't a date
Just another dance
They say he's so great
They whisper and glance
But he's unsure
Of what he's doing
His hair is unkempt
And he's prone to ruin
He's the last boy
Who isn't dancing
He asks and he gives
But they don't see how he's moving
It was probably fate
And yet another dance
He saw her that day
And gave her more than a passing glance
But his legs don't work
They've turned to jelly
And he starts to sway
"She's coming towards me"
"So you're the last boy
Who isn't dancing?"
He shrugs and sighs
"I've got two right feet"
And she takes his hand
"I guess we'll see"
|

Here she comes
The girl who would
The girl who would not save him
She's just here for a good time
He'd say she's perfect
But knows that's worthless
When describing anyone real
But the situation surely felt surreal
She just dances
She's having a good time
And she doesn't care
That he's scared, its all inside his mind
Of course he had to ruin it
Giving this dance attribution
This had to mean something didn't it
But even then he lacked the guts to spew it
She just dances
She's having a good time
And she doesn't care
That he's scared, its all inside his mind
The girl who would
who would not save him
Pays him no mind
He'll have to save himself
From embarrassment
Of course he doesn't
He's too uptight
So he breaks away
To stand in line
|

He drank from the punch bowl and it saved his soul
Put warmth in his fingers and it burned his throat
He went from 0 to 60, miles from sober
Along with all thoughts of his former lover
Ooh, my chucks are off the ground
Ooh, I'm higher than the clouds
Ooh, and these once deadly shrouds
Ooh, seem killer pretty now
He drank from the bowl more than he had intended
He couldn't reach the bottom, the drinks just never ended
He had a funny thought, drunken deja vu
when he considered that his lyrics had a way of coming true
So he penned a napkin lyrical, unsure of the words
but he wrote out a new future, to put the grim in reverse
"This is my future song, chorus and verse"
He made up a happy ending, that didn't hurt
It felt like a week by the punch bowl
but it had surely saved his soul
He stepped back onto the dance floor
his future song a forgotten napkin note

Sugarpea #96 The Note
02:14
|

I'm gonna be happy
just playing music
gonna get my songs
on the radio
from hear and across the sea
I'm gonna make sure the world can hear me
I'm gonna be happy
going on tour
with my band in a really nice van
when I'm not running the radio station
or hosting these musical shows
I'm gonna be happy
working at this comic store
and writing scripts of my own
a piece of myself that has never been shown
and I'll have the best friends
to keep me in line
and I'll finally shake this illness that I cant define
I'm gonna be happy
I'm gonna meet a cute girl
she'll be intelligent and gorgeous
and passionate about the world
Of course we'll hold hands and all that good stuff
and I'll never have to worry if I'm doing enough
I'm gonna be happy
|

I fell back
Into my old ways
It feels so comfortable
Feeling miserable
I lost control
Or gave it up
I didn’t want to dance
While you’re still standing up
I didn’t want to dance
But I have to
Or I’m dead, dead, dead
In my red red shoes
|
||||
13. |
||||
|
Nothing should get to me
the way that nothing does
There were no black cats crossing my path
There were no mirrors or archway ladders
But I saw you pass before me
and I felt someone dancing on my grave
Nobody seems to get me
the way that nothing does
Because that's exactly what you did while I'm stuck in the past
and that's what I continue to do, even after the fact
But I saw you pass before me
and I felt someone dancing on my grave
(and I'm pretty sad tonight)
I think I'll be there on a sooner than later date

Sugarpea #100 Nowhere
01:39
|

Not going nowhere
I’m not going nowhere
I’m only getting started
On my drunken adventure
One last boot of the leg
Of a small city tour
But in all seriousness
If I’m not feeling better by the end of this
Would you make it better with a little kiss
Or in the back of my car
Big payout, little risk
I think I need you
But maybe I just needed this
But hey I’ll still take that kiss

01:40
|

Have you ever felt a song so deeply you crooned?
Even when you lacked the words and couldn’t piece them together?
Yeah, me either
Have you ever felt a darkness so deep you could lay yourself down for an eternal sleep?
You’ve no love for yourself and missing the love of another
Yeah, me either
Have you ever been caught in a lie?
You got me this time

Sugarpea #103 Dead Limbs
03:04
|
|||
|
I don’t think I’m ready
No I don’t think I’m ready to leave
I can’t keep it steady
not as long as I’m thinking
Of ways to be happy being miserable
giving it all up and losing control
there’s nothing good for me anymore
there’s nothing I want
I’ll have to learn to be happy
living without love
I put you behind me
now I can’t stop running away
and I’m losing my speed
my lungs keep calling out to see if you’re listening
|

19. |
Sugarpea #104 Sing to Me
02:03
|
|||
|
Would you sing to me
Would you sing a lullaby
Would you at least
Sing to me goodnight
Tell me where you wanna go
Tell me what you want to do
I just want to follow you
Tell me why you always cry
Tell me why you're always alone
I just want to cry with you
I just want to hold you close
Would you hear me
If I told you everything?
If I said that I love
Every note you speak to me

We’re gonna drink
We’re gonna dance
We’re gonna sing
Take a chance that we could win or lose
We’re gonna laugh
We’re gonna drink
We’re gonna pass
Out and away from those things we do
We’re gonna run
From our friends
We’re gonna drink
We’re gonna drink
We’re gonna drink…
|
||||
22. |
||||
|
The battle is over
I’m back to sober
And only slightly missing you
I’m thinking of the good things
Sitting here with everyone
I appreciate the view
I think I’m ready
For whatever this is
A change in me
Something brand new
|
||||
23. |
||||
|
I’m gonna split
Running out before you beat me to it
feelings always displaced
took me years to notice
Maybe I should have
unsecured these insecurities
before I had asked
"Sugarpea, would you please, please marry me"
I’ve got an eye for what’s wrong
for anyone with an eye on me
Turn your back and I’m gone
but of course, the jokes on me
Maybe I’ll say
what it’s much too late to say
but it wouldn’t make any difference
"Sugarpea, would you please, please bury me?"
"I’m gonna punch you so hard"
but you invited me to bed
and we talked all night
And for once I didn’t ruin it
|

Sugarpea #109 Hungover
03:20
|
|||
|
I’ve been driving all night
but haven’t gotten any closer
to settling down
or getting over
Say it
I’m hungover you
I’ve been driving all night
to the brink of whatever
till it breaks down my body
and subconscious takes over
|
||||
25. |
||||
|
What I know
and what I feel
Are not the same
but certainly real
I know one day
I’ll be okay
but what I feel
is massive pain
I know I know nothing like my name is John Snow
But I feel every feeling least of all Hope
Whatever whatever whatever
I’m trying to stay positive, but I just don’t know

Sugarpea #111 Paper Thin
02:00
|

|
Theres no chance that I’m falling, maybe
give me a few days, then ask me
No you do not have to catch me
I’m aware of what’s in motion
Could it be, that I am okay
way too close to call, but some day
I’m just trying to make it
but always catch myself on you
What’s happening to me
I’m paper thin
you could tear right through me
These words are whats left of me
|

I broke my guitar
Well how about that
But I came prepared
Recovered and stat!
I really didn't think that you'd show
But my sentiments are always overblown
Black lights and black chairs
And black lungs, but who cares
If I sing every song to you
Black nails and black hair
And Red plucks and Red dares
Shes keeping me out of tune
I cant even drink
Must stay clear
All eyes on my
Eyes on her
I really didn't think that I'd care
I really didn't think that Id want to be here
Plucking pretty notes from a rose
Curious
How far is too close?
It really doesn't matter I suppose
When you're the only one
On you're way home
|
||||
28. |

They both had notes
Separate figures, same ghost
Our intertwined souls
Two beds
One head
Are we dreaming?
Are we dreaming this all up?
Happening in
Places we know well
But never been
Navigation
I lead
I follow
Are we dreaming?
Are we dreaming this all up?
Hold your note in my hands
But my mind had other plans
I'll be back to read it
Just hope we never need it
And the claw kept grabbing
I won every time
Prizes for everyone
But no one was coming
Are we dreaming?
Are we dreaming this all up?

Sugarpea #114 Identify
01:20

I can identify the problem
unfortunately, doesn't change the outcome
Let's take it back, we'll set up camp
and find out who's to blame
You can use the truth I loosed against me
But I'm always first in line to rise against me
Lets take it back, see how I react
when it's time to pull my name
I can identify the problem
You can use the truth I loosed against me
I can try to stifle my cries
You can do what you do and be happy

"I saw she saw you"
A little note you left for me
I couldn't let this go
even outside of a dream
The sun is shining again
and I'm more than slightly obsessed
with the ghost of the girl in my car
who would hold me to her breast
Oh I see dead lovers
rotting underneath the sheets
and I see dead lovers
getting frisky in my backseat
and I see dead lovers
limping up and down the street
and I see a dead lover
in the mirror, every morning
"This warnings for you
there's someone underneath your bed"
and somehow even without one
I still end up losing my head
to a killer I have never seen
and thank god we've never met
Just a heads up if you're reading this:
I'll be the one that she soon forgets (if she hasn't)
I could claw my way out If I really wanted to
But laying in the dark is much more comfortable
I don't have to try, I don't have to think
and look I've lost weight so who needs a shrink
and if you can't take your eyes right off of me
I can at least pretend I'm winning
until the next time we meet and you send my head spinning
"You'll always be my first"
then why am I always the last
to dig myself out of the dirt
the blood has dried, simply of lack
of time to find better words
I am just a dead lover
Go ahead and do your worst
I am just a dead lover
|
||||
31. |

I know this girl
she's pretty cool
she's got a lovely mother
and if she thinks
that we'd better
paired as sister/brother
I might be sad
but better having her
as just a good friend
I guess it all depends
I know that I
am just the guy
who has to always wonder
If there's a hint
if there's a clue
I'm sure I'll get it never
I can't believe it
less I see it
Oh but she just said it
I guess that answers that...
