Happy 04:31

All I wanted you to be is happy In your crazy dreams could you be happy Lying awake I see your eyes Deep despair I apologize Now I am young five years a babe Would you like another pillow for your head? All I wanted you to be is happy In your crazy dreams could you be happy I’d do anything to make you happy I gave up my soul When you’re down in your hole down and deep Take a look to the left and you’ll see me Digging out of the sand as the tide will creep Have you lost yourself lost yourself lost yourself again? Now autumn leaves they help me cry Take me back to the day I died Then I was young five years a babe Screaming for you as you walk away Walk away walk away That’s ok I don’t mind even though you are not near me Happiness is something I don’t know if you can hear me When you’re down in your hole down and deep Take a look to the left and you’ll see me Digging out of the sand as the tide will creep Have you lost yourself lost yourself lost yourself again? All I wanted you to be is happy

You and I 04:16

Half pack of cigarettes unfinished grocery list exactly where you let them be This room has frozen still and my heart as well You were not supposed to leave You and I sitting by your side watching everything A gentle smile to teach my little hands the magic life can bring Ya I have regrets of the time we spent well it was few and far between I think the world of you and you know it’s true cause you now know everything You and I’m trying to save my life searching every street I guess you cried ya I didn’t know how much you cared for me We made a deal you know that the first to go would visit from the other side Well I keep turning round hoping you’ll be found would you please come say goodbye You and I’m standing by your side watching everything No more smile to teach my grown up hands the magic your life brings You and I’m trying to save my life searching every street I guess you cried ya I didn’t know how much you cared for me How much you cared for me You cared for me

Frankenstein Heart 04:15
lyrics

I finally took the shambles off the shelf A testament to our personal hell It’s the same heart that once fell for you Bringing out the needle and thread To try and piece it back together again Just like trying to raise the dead Every stitch was a memory With every prick a tear bled down A far cry from what it used to be My Frankenstein Heart My Frankenstein Heart Looking like something from a movie screen Ain’t it funny that’s what it seemed The final act a horror scream Every stitch was a memory With every prick a tear bled down A far cry from what it used to be My Frankenstein Heart My Frankenstein Heart My Frankenstein Heart I always thought I could resurrect Smooth over the pain and make it all make sense No matter how hard I try There are pieces I may never find There ain’t no saving my Frankenstein There ain’t no saving this Frankenstein There ain’t no saving my Frankenstein Heart My Frankenstein Heart My Frankenstein Heart No no no

Remember You Happy 03:52

Rabbit fur up your nose I remember you happy with so much to give With a hand to lend a ready friend who wants to live And I remember you happy with your laughing eyes All the times we played the dreams we made so free and wild So wrong What they did to you thought that you had made it through To the person that you wanna be So hard Then the walls came down everything got turned around Twisted and turning tortured by your memories Insane We gave everything all our fortunes to the king the horses couldn’t help you this time So hard Furtive action the captain of distraction I did everything to help the pain to subside But I remember you happy with so much to give With a hand to lend a ready friend who wants to live And I remember you happy with your laughing eyes All the times we played the dreams we made so free and wild You said It’s not that I don’t wanna live it’s that I don’t wanna don’t wanna suffer anymore I said Do you have anything for us earthlings behind before you take off and soar You said Yes take advantage of all the experience our bodies allow us to have The pleasures of food the laughter of friends experience it to it’s full perspective And I remember you happy Now that you’re gone I have to carry on You know I couldn’t do it before I wasn’t strong enough I wasn’t ready I think you stuck around to help me some more Even though you were severely compromised a shell of what you used to be I was forced to grow became strong for us and now my love you’re free You’re free And I remember you happy with so much to give With a hand to lend a ready friend who wants to live And I remember you happy with your laughing eyes All the times we played the dreams we made so free and wild I remember you I remember you I remember you happy For life is long

The knocking at your door echoes through your halls I’m hoping you will come from out behind your walls Well I have lost my heart and I know how it feels To have given anything to know that love is real So put your hand in mine and we will walk the sands of time then fly away The meaning of this world far escapes me now As I see you in your pain why would heaven allow Take me by the hand and we will walk across the sand then fly away High high The years that kept you down trust had never grown But look into my eyes and know your not alone Baby put your hand in mine and we will walk the sands of time then fly away Take me by the hand and we will walk across the sand then fly away Baby I love you
