Punishing You

Well you let me down for the last time
I saw it on the screen in blue and white
Don’t you know what’s done in the dark of night
is bound to leave a mark when it’s brought to light?
You’ve been sowing your seeds around this town
Your brand new girl picked out a brand new gown (ew)
Oh it don’t bother me I swear
But I’ll drown my despair
'til my troubles rain like whiskey all around
Cause you did me dirty, my dude
and I’m so sick of crying over you
So I’ll bottle my tears
and the bubbles in my beer
and punish me when I should be punishing you
and punish me when I should be punishing you
Oh just look at the mess you've gone and made
and I’m the saddest clown in your parade
No you don’t deserve another single word
or melody to the tune of my pain
Cause you did me dirty, my dude
and I’m so sick of crying over you
So I’ll bottle my tears
and the bubbles in my beer
and punish me when I should be punishing you
and punish me when I should be punishing you
You did me dirty, my dude
and I’m so sick of crying over you
So I’ll bottle my tears
and the bubbles in my beer
and punish me when I should be punishing you
and punish me when I should be punishing you

I hear you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel
You're scraping the bottom of the sea
You're scraping the bottom of the barrel
But you’ll never replace me
I hear you’re thinking that you’re clever
Hear you think you got the best of me
But honey time will tell and you’ll see her in hell
Where you can spend eternity
Cause everybody knows
Everybody sees
Everybody, everybody knows but me
I hear you found someone to match your crazy
You found someone to fan your flame
You've got a lot of nerve
But you got what you deserved
And thank God it wasn’t me
Cause everybody knows
Everybody sees
Everybody, everybody knows but me
Everybody knows
Everybody sees
Everybody, everybody
Everybody knows
Everybody sees
Everybody, everybody knows but me
I hear you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel
Scraping the bottom of the sea
Scraping the bottom of the barrel
But you’ll never replace me

Mr. Renegade
Can you hear my tears from far away?
Cause I’m crying enough to flood the river
But does it matter?
Mr. Renegade
Just put a stop to this crusade
I’m trembling in my barracks
Oh when will I learn
That our love was made to be cursed?
I guess it could always be worse
How can I let go
When your arms are where I found my home?
Oh how in the hell do you know
That it’s the end?
Mr. Renegade
You abandoned ship for better days
And left my wreckage in your wake
And down I sink, oh
Mr. Renegade
Do you forget I took your name?
And now our lives lay smoldering
When will I learn
That I’m no longer your concern
And you know just what you’ve done
How can I let go
When your love was where I made my home?
Oh how in the hell do you know… ???
Mr. Renegade
Amidst this shower of grenades
My white flag billows in the breeze
And it’s the end.

Your Song
04:44
|

|
No matter what I do
California will always remind me of you
We came unglued
Piece by piece
We dug our heels in
But it was too late
The mighty tower fell
All around our feet
With the roaring sound
Of crippling defeat
Do you cry for me
In the night when you’re all alone?
How can you live without
The breath from my lungs?
And I know you never got your song
So this is for you
Cause I knew it all along
You made the fall from grace
Look so effortless
Like you were biding your time
To throw the towel in
I gave you all I had
Don’t you ever forget
You broke your promise
To love me until death
Do you cry for me
In the night when you’re all alone
How can you live without
The breath from my lungs?
And I know you never got your song
So this is for you
Cause I knew it all along
I don’t think of you
Cause when I do it hurts
I hope you’re satisfied
When you hear these words
I won’t cry for you
Cause I’m better off alone
I can breathe without
Your noose around my throat
And I know you never got your song
So this is for you
Cause I knew it all along

Doctor, oh doctor
Will you pry me open?
Cause there’s something terribly wrong
Deep inside of me
Doctor, oh doctor
I was truly hoping
That you could prescribe me my healing remedy
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
Doctor, oh doctor
I’m down on bended knee
Cause I can’t seem to quiet
The noises in my dreams
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
I’ve tried and I’ve tried ’til I can’t try no more
Yeah I’ve cried and I’ve cried and I can’t cry no more
I’m not okay
But oh I wanna be, yeah
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
But I wanna be

Bad Bad Way
03:42
|

|
It’s easy to see
You’re in a bad bad way
And your head, it hangs down to the ground
Cause your safety net’s got a great big hole in it
And you fell right through
Down to the ground
You fell down, down, down
But are you out?
When the world around you
Hurts you more than it loves you
How do you find your worth
When you’re cursed?
You put all your faith
and all your eggs into a basket
And watched in horror
as the cracks appeared
You fell down, down, down, down, down
You fell down, down, down
But are you out?
You’re up against your very life
When it’s clear that it’s a losing fight
If you can’t halt the roaring tide
You gotta swim upstream with all your might
You fell down, down, down, down, down
You fell down, down, down
But are you out?
You fell down, down, down
You fell down, down, down
But are you out?

Air Balloon
04:17
|

|
Kicking around the dead leaves on the ground
I saw above my head, a bright hot air balloon
Rising towards the sky
I waved my arms and said, “Can I hitch a ride?”
Can I hitch a ride?
Cause there’s nothing left for me
On this winding street, oh oh oh
Too many things
Weighing down my soul, oh oh oh
So let me climb aboard your basket
Up up up, up and away we go
Up up up, up and away we go
The patchwork fields, sewn together by rolling hills
I can see for days, and I realize
We’re all too small to be afraid
So I feel the flames
See my face in the valley below
No one can touch me when I’m taller than the mountain snow
There’s nothing left for me
On this winding street, oh oh oh
Too many things weighing down my soul, oh oh oh
So let me climb aboard your basket
Up up up, up and away we go
Up up up, up and away we go
Oh can I live
Live forever sifting through the clouds?
I’m not of the earth

supported by 5 fans who also own “Forest City Songs”
Fantastic. Although I prefer the style of the first album I wish these albums were twice as long and filled the other half's with this style. For the record, both albums fit on one s cd with 1 mi amor to spare... TLDR - They're short AF lol
