ASPHALT JUKE LYRICS
"TRAGEDY & RECOVERY" LYRICS
HEAD (music and lyrics:Kapis)
You tied it all with one thin thread
Those empty words and you misled
Told your lies and spun your web
And I'm just plain gone
Inside out's always a must
That empty head now filled with dust
Bitter bones have turned to rust
And I'm so far gone
Each time I look into your eyes
I see another way you've lied
Your pedestal that touched the sky
You put youself up way too high
Just one more sign that you're not right
And I'm just fu**ing gone
Each time I look into your head
I turn around to another instead
And I don't want no more
Each time I look into your soul
I see you're further from control
Two empty halves have made a whole
In my existence
543 (music and lyrics:Novakovich)
She's got one foot out the door
And I'm led to believe that there's room for one more
She's got that look in her eyes
That one more time means one more time
She's got one thing on her mind
And I've got to admit that it's not what's on mine
At least not this time
She just can't fake it with the bottle
She just can't fake it with the bottle this time
It's her fault not mine.
She threw the papers
She threw her make-up at the glass on my wall
She needs her makers
They always take her when she happens to call
I can't break this fall
THROW AWAY (music:Kapis lyrics:Kapis, Kapis Sr.)
Don't hate me, I didn't ask to be here
Don't hate me, I didn't ask to be born
Don't hate me, I didn't ask to be yours
Don't hate me, If I hate you but I don't
So when I'm thrown away
Won't take it personal
You're just the one to blame
For this entire gray
So when I run away
Don't take it personal
I had to get away
I had to get control
PLEASE KEEP BLEEDING (music:Tharpe, Payne, Kapis lyrics:Novakovich)
Put your fears away
I promise I am here to stay
It doesn't matter what you've done
It doesn't matter where you've been
What a night to look into your eyes
Drop your guard and stay here for the night
I'm everything you ever wanna be
Give it all and set you free
Oh, what a night to look into your eyes
I lie, Why
Open up your easy world to me
Open up for everyone to see
DYING TO... (music:Kapis lyrics:Kapis, Novakovich)
All of my stale friends
Have gotten me so bored
There's just a side of me
They've always ignored
Heading for the sky
But they don't wanna star
I'm moving on in life
They're stuck where they are
Now everybody take their place
I'm Dying to be here, I'm trying
It's time to crucify me
I can see it in your face
I'm Dying to be here, I'm trying
Pushed down in a corner
a place I just can't be
I'm always picking myself up, constantly
Treading on my shoulder's
I grin and bear
Forcing me to decide
If I even care
I'm trying to stay
I come clean, if you know what I mean
CONTEMPLATION (music:Kapis, Payne, Novakovich lyrics:Novakovich)
I never wanted to be
Anything but me
I never wanted to do
Anything but you
I never wanted to be
What I had to be
I never wanted to do
What I did to you
And all the time that we've got left
Is underneath the tree out back
And everything I should have said
Is hanging by a breath in my head
And you're dead again
Lying on the floor
And you're dead again
Like every time before
And you're dead again
Going through my mind
And you're dead again
I see you from behind
And underneath my sympathy
As everything you did to me
As all the pieces fall apart
You're what I need you'll never leave.
SILVERGREENE (music:Novakovich, Kapis lyrics:Kapis)
I dream that ghost
One more night
Away from here
It's always good to see your eyes
But in the end I lose again
The daylight brings me back
I'll see you at the car crash
The panic, disaster
Of a dark room and a backflash
When I find you will it matter
The silence on a warm floor
Contrast to the cold lips
I press against in vain
It's always on my mind
Cause in the end I lose again
The daylight brings me back
The weighted sound
Of nothing but my heart
And it's not who you used to be
The best friend of that boy
When I get there
Will you know me
If I die
Do you welcome home
Will you hold me and my fragile heart
And protect me from the car crash
CUT UP (music:Kapis, Payne, Novakovich, lyrics:Kapis)
I can see you've been crying
And I don't need to ask what's wrong
Cause I'm drowning in that water with you
Keep treading for today
And I know no one is perfect
But God damn we were so close
What'll remain remains to be seen
So I'm begging you, put down the rope
Broken, Beaten, Down
Freezing, we do sometimes
Wasting, Screaming, Real
Plastic, Feelings, Forced
So we try to relax and just be
But somehow it seems we forgot, how?
But it's okay, it's okay now
The old days are odd days now
Crushing, Breaking, Home
Beaten, Broken, Down
Sinking, Bleeding, Drown
Something is going to give
So I'm begging you, put down the rope
RICK (music and lyrics:Kapis)
Everything was A okay
Just when I came out
You changed, you mind, you changed your tune
But your change can't make me wrong
Look at me now
Remember me?
Size me up your favorite to beat on
I'll help you down from the cloud you're on
But look at you, you ain't so special
Every day becomes out and out war
To help you create a smile
Don't bring out your monster heart
AND I KNOW YOU WILL (music and lyrics:Kapis)
And I know you will try to keep me down
And I know you will try to keep me low
And I know you will want me at your side
And I know you will try to spread your lies
And it's beginnig to show
And I know you will try to bring up fire
It's lonely, low down here when someone else gets higher
And your nature pervades and show you in true light
And I know you will try for one more night
But I won't show
And I know you will listen to this one
Searching for your prize but it just won't come
And I know you will try to keep me here
The bottom's much too cold without someone near
But I won't show
