Crush 03:31
I remember seeing you outside of school And I wished that I was cool So I could maybe hold your hand And we could fall in love But I can't compare to your perfect lover Trust me, I understand And I can totally get it I'm used to rejection But can I please tell you a secret? I believe that you can keep it I know you know, 'cause it was shown But I have a crush on you I remember when you first met my mom And, for god's sake, where'd it all go wrong? You can hear me begging, baby, please, oh, please Won't you get the fuck out of my dreams? 'Cause I can't stand it when I try to move on But I hear your voice You say that I don't get it And that I don't regret it But can I please tell you a secret? I believe that you can keep it I know you know, 'cause it was shown But I have a crush on you Can I please tell you a secret? I believe that you can keep it I know you know, 'cause it was shown But I have a crush on you Can I please tell you a secret? I believe that you can keep it I know you know, 'cause it was shown But I have a crush on you

Just Fine 04:20
Let us love for hours on end Never lift from out of your bed All my life with you I'll spend All my love until the end Look into the mirror, my wife So I can see the rest of life Torsos nude, passions tied Lust has soared, love may bind And I know that I love you And I hope you love me, too 'Cause I know if love me true Then everything will turn out just fine In the end Kiss my lips as yours are silk Let me drink from goddess milk Touch your body, a heaven's build Doves will line our window sill Hate you not if love me true Heart will stop if not for you A world of pink, a solemn blue It is mine and yours to choose And I know that I love you And I hope you love me, too 'Cause I know if love me true Then everything will turn out just fine In the end And I know that I love you And I hope you love me, too 'Cause I know if love me true Then everything will turn out just fine In the end Let us love as lovers do

I saw you walking right outside my door With black leggings and a smile so sweet I hit her up and ask if that was her She told me yes and that she also saw me I said I'm flattered and she said "I'm sure" And that her boyfriend had a crush on me I said "You're loyal" and she called herself a whore But honestly, that's fine by me Promises in fairy tales Cheap tricks and pink thrills We started talking and messing around It's not too long till we wanted to fuck You said your boyfriend would be out of town I said "That's perfect, we're in good luck" Midnight I snuck in, sneaking by your hound You said your daddy would be up from all the ruck-us I crawled into your room, safe and sound I grabbed your waist and then we made love, yeah Promises in fairy tales Cheap tricks and pink thrills And all these Bad guys in Hollywood Protagonists, up to no good Promises in fairy tales Cheap tricks and pink thrills And all these Bad guys in Hollywood Protagonists, up to no good

Pink Trees 04:16
Every time I think of you I push it down Thoughts of love are signs of a weak mind And every time we make love I stem my tears Is it love or is it pleasure? Dripping pink trees A veil of velvet leaves Draped on you and me Every time I see the stars The paint drips down Peeling off the Sistine Chapel And every time I grab your waist My hands are ice Frostbitten by hesitation Dripping pink trees A veil of velvet leaves Draped on you and me This stairway to nowhere (slowly writhing and unwinding) The dust film on each stair (just step lightly, pink mist flying) And I don't really care (loathe apathy, Lennon/McCartney) A truly destined pair (Is it truly not unruly?) Dripping pink trees A veil of velvet leaves Draped on you and me Castles made of sand A flower wonderland With Sgt Pepper's band

Honda Civic 04:04
Don't slow down When we make love Shake the car as I shake your tree Roses bloom As you deflower me Stain my pants with your love In the back of your Honda Civic Don't look sad Don't you frown You know I'm in love with you Look at the stars As I look in your eyes When I'm in your tunnel of love In the back of your Honda Civic Love within us Love with you Gone like a teardrop Fallen like a star And I just want to say Just your smile Can jail you for life Theft and hostage of my heart But that's okay 'Cause I get Stockholm syndrome when I lay In the back of your Honda Civic In the back of your Honda Civic

You found another man in my bed I can explain See, I'm not gay At least, well I think And I regret the things I said To your face In bouts of haste To distaste Say what you want me to I can't count on you Milk and honey, dude It doesn't pay the bills And I don't think I will You found another girl's Instagram I can explain She's just a friend I can pretend And I regret the things I did Damn this place It's just a phase We misbehave Say what you want me to I can't count on you Milk and honey, dude It doesn't pay the bills And I don't think I will Let go Let go of the past Let go Let go of the past
7.
I'll Be 03:13
I'll say that's a wonderful way to put it Soft cake with a bittersweet side of pudding Each day I would pray that she still loves me So I may waste my life and then get married I'll be damned if you leave me Love may break us but pain will bring us closer I'll say she's my queen and my world But wait, don't you know she's so much more? Hey babe, let's go out and watch the stars Then we'll, we'll light up the back of my car I'll be sad and lonely If you say you don't love me no longer I'll be there when you need me I'll be your only one I'll be yours when need be If you just say Please just say "I do" If you just say Please just say "I do"

I just want to go back to the time Where I could sit inside and play Minecraft with the boys I just want to go back to the place Where me and Dillon would blaze up and feel nothing but utter joy But Eddie says that all things must change And he's my only friend right now And I don't give a damn about All of the bullshit that she spouts And I have one thing to tell I saw you glue pennies to my shoes I know I got nothing left to lose Pathetic wankers will enthuse On all these mental black and blues In my life I will just peruse Around for girls that I deem cute And toxic people get the boot When Unisex and Arsonic played I had these words inside my head And like a kid I pissed my bed It's not too long 'til I see red But not long after she said I saw you glue pennies to my shoes I know I got nothing left to lose Pathetic wankers will enthuse On all these mental black and blues In my life I will just peruse Around for girls that I deem cute And toxic people get the boot And all these jobs I will pursue Well, that is according to you And you will hear me sing the blues And all these pennies on my shoes

Birdy 02:10
You'll never forget all the memories you made with her And lavish little peeves and quirks that proved that this will never work You'll never forget all the times that you had made her cry And pushed her love until it died and leaped your anger from inside Sweet birdy You made my fingertips and dirty tricks allowed and burned crisp So I had to end it Hey birdy Let your love run free Hey birdy I'm not your everything Hey birdy Please forget about me Hey birdy Let your love run free Hey birdy I'm not your everything Hey birdy Please forget about me Please, be free

Heard you hated me That's a shame Thought you were alright Trying to change me For your own Good luck, bud, nice try 'Cause I set aside my pride To find myself so we can become one Do you still recall? The times you put me down Or are those thoughts left out? 'Cause I know damn sure I won't call on you Heard you're down and out Bessie Smith Write your own blues song When everything's gone south I'm alright I am born anew 'Cause I set aside my pride To find myself so I can finally breathe Do you still recall? The times you put me down Or are those thoughts left out? 'Cause I know damn sure I won't call on you Sweet melody Dancing and free And all the lovely people Who stayed to see me grow And all the dearest people Who couldn't see me go And all those happy kids I'll have And how I'll watch them grow And how I'll find the perfect girl to love Do you still recall? The times you put me down Or are those thoughts left out? 'Cause I know damn sure I won't call on you I won't call on you I will not change, I won't allow you I will remain stubborn and strange I will not change, I won't allow you I will remain stubborn and strange I will not change, I won't allow you I will remain stubborn and strange I will not change, I won't allow you I will remain stubborn and strange I will remain stubborn and strange I will remain stubborn and strange I will remain stubborn and strange

Fly 03:07
Fly as if you're free But please don't forget me Dropped you from your nest I thought I knew best Fly, birdy, fly Get to know the skies You were my true love I can't forget Jealous that you're free Don't be jealous of me I just broke your wings My heart's achey feeling Get to know my wrongs God, it's been-been so long You were the only one I couldn't forget
12.
Brother 05:31
They beat you with your arms And filled your glass with heart How do you feel? Tell me what's wrong Man, what's the deal? What took you so long? 'Cause what you think you are Is what you are not You're a brother in my arms Let me see your face On top a lit up stage How does it feel? He likes our song Man, this ain't real This is where we belong 'Cause what you think you are Is what you are not You're a brother in my arms He said I know what it's like to be dead And the hate inside will be The glorious death of me 'Cause what you think you are Is what you are not You're a brother in my arms 'Cause what you think you'll be Is sweet misery You and me'll go far I don't wanna lose you (I remember you calling me up) I don't wanna lose you (I was recording Buddy) I don't wanna lose you (I answered to hear you say) I don't wanna lose you ("I didn't mean to cut you out of my life")

Never 02:38
Tell me all those secrets I don't want to hear Whisper them inside my ear Tell me that you love me after I have gone All you did was do me wrong It's not love It never was Like the dove That flies above I could never be the one That you marry Waste your life away with me It would never be the time That you're spending Always wasting time on me I'm not worth it I'm not worth it I am worthless I am worthless I am worth nothing to you When I go I will lie and say I'll stay To make it easy, I'll make sure You won't recognize my face

We open our scene in a large, stone ballroom in a castle housing a party. Our main character, Delilah, is standing to the side, drinking a small cup of punch, when she sees a boy pacing around as if he is looking for something. Delilah [inquisitive]: Did you lose something? Jude [focused, trancelike, on autopilot]: No. I’m looking for someone. Delilah [setting punch down]: Would you like some help? What do they look like? Jude [cold, busy, to not be bothered]: No. Delilah [taken aback]: I mean, I’m not doing anything. Jude doesn’t respond. He walks away Delilah: Hey! Wait up! They walk out of the ballroom into a sunlit stone foyer with less people. Twelve o’clock relative to them is a stone hallway with another sunlit foyer as its destination. Jude: We have to go through this hallway. Delilah [passive, soft]: Alright. [curious] What are those on the ceiling? They look like-spiderwebs… On the ceiling of the hallway are glistening spiderwebs, like a starry sky. They start walking down the hallway, but after a bit the hallway starts shrinking as they progress. Delilah [confused, hesitant]: Hey, the hallway’s getting...smaller. Jude [unbothered, focused, perseverant]: I know. The hallway gets smaller, to the point where Delilah has to duck. Eventually it gets too short to crouch and they stop. Jude [looking at Delilah]: We have to crawl on our backs. Don’t touch the webs. Delilah [compliant]: O-Okay. Why can’t we touch them? Jude [getting on back and proceeding to crawl]: They house Mandarin spiders. Very rare. Very deadly. Delilah is obviously creeped out by this. Delilah [hesitant, creeped out]: Oh. As they crawl, they can hear and see the spiders crawling above them, right in front of their eyes. Still the hallway shortens as they progress. Jude [frustrated]: Aw, shit. Delilah [on edge]: What is it? Jude [frustrated]: You’re gonna have to touch them. Delilah [freaked out]: What!? Jude [annoyed]: You’re gonna have to touch them. Delilah: Oh, jesus... Delilah crawls on, the webs tickling her nose. The clicks of the spider legs become more intense. Jude [far away, his voice reverberates against the stone walls and star-like webs]: Lift up. Delilah [skeptical]: Wait, why? Jude [commanding]: Just do it. Delilah [scared, hesitant]: Hnnnn... Delilah lifts up and is transported into a universe filled with glistening stars that make faint, tinkling sounds, as if welcoming her. Delilah [bewildered]: Where am I? Jude [warmer]: The question isn’t where. You’re still at the party, sitting in that corner. At least, your physical body. Here is what I like to call “La La Land”. It’s a transcendental state of knowingness and telepathy. Your implicit world. Delilah [bewildered]: It’s gorgeous. Jude: It’s as beautiful as your mind is. Delilah wanders a little bit among the stars, grabbing some, only for them to fade away. Delilah [confused]: Why do the stars disappear when I touch them? Jude [explanatory]: They are your fleeting thoughts, dancing with the second. Delilah [tranquil, understanding]: Oh. Jude [warm, inviting]: Can I show you something? Delilah [joking]: What could you possibly show me next? Jude [chuckling]: Watch this. The universe starts folding like paper, the stars tearing away to reveal a large pool of water with an old house sitting patiently in front of it. The moon shines on the water, turning the blue liquid into a shimmering fluid. Delilah stands on a sidewalk that circles around the pool, touching the front door of the house. Delilah [whispering]: Are we supposed to be here? This is somebody’s house! Jude [at normal volume]: Don’t worry. The owners don’t mind. A woman dressed in an ethereal baby blue dress walks out from the side of the house onto the pavement and stares at the pool. Delilah [in awe]: Her dress is beautiful! It’s like it emanates moonlight. Delilah stares at the woman and squints her eyes, trying to get a better look. Delilah [confused, taken aback]: She has no face! Jude: She does. You just don’t remember it. She’s a ghost of your memories. Delilah [tranquil, solemn]: Oh. Jude [mocking]: “Oh.” Delilah [sensitive, offended]: Hey! Jude [chuckling]: Are you ready for our next place? Delilah [cooling down]: As long as you’re not gonna be an ass. Jude [still chuckling]: I promise. Delilah is swept off her feet right as he says that. The scenery once again crumples like paper, revealing another house that is much younger, probably circa 70’s, draped in sunlight. Except, Delilah is floating in front of this house, with the porch and front door in view. In the door is a man holding a woman, her face buried in his neck. Delilah [curious]: Why is she crying? Jude [saddened]: I can’t remember. All I know is that that was the last time I ever saw her. Delilah [solemn]: Oh. I mean-I’m sorry. Who was she? Jude: She was my wife. We had a house together. We had kids. We had everything we wanted. Yet, we had nothing we needed. Delilah [solemn]: I’m sorry to hear that. Jude [calm, comforting, yet solemn]: It’s alright. I just wish everything could go back to the way it was. Before she died. Before I couldn’t take the pain of seeing her in the arms of an angel instead of me. Before I even fucking met her. I felt better when I was alone. When I didn’t have to worry about anybody else but myself. Even if I don’t need to worry, I still do. And it hurts. It truly fucking hurts. [takes deep, shaky breath] Anyways, it’s about time you went back to your party. Delilah [concerned]: Are you sure? Jude [confident, solemn]: It’s for the best. And with that, the scenery crumples once more, leaving nothing but black.
