I changed my color for you
I shed my coat with caution
I lack the beauty you display
See here there are the bruises
And some were self-inflicted
And some showed up along the way
So i nod my head
Im ready for the world to see
The secret i kept here inside the man you thought id be
Slip into coma calm
The coma where i calm myself down
Here comes excuses why i let you down
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become
Chameleon boy
Chameleon boy
So now weve come upon the hardest thing ive ever done
Its telling you that im a mess
What sort of mess i mean
Is self-destructive gasoline
The kind that strips you of your best
And while i play insteadthe way that most would end up dead
You sleep alone at home and wish that i was in our bed
With this im telling you
My color changes back to blue
How do i ask you this
Will you help me through
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become
Chameleon boy
Chameleon boy
I try to think of all the people i look up to
Or growing up who would i be
Now the twisted part
Whered all my idols end up
They all passed away
Passed away
Stand by
Its chameleon boy
Stand by
Its chameleon boy
Chameleon Boy
I'm chameleon boy...
Chameleon boy...
Sexual Powertrip (One Big Lie) Bla Bla Lyrics – Blue October
I'm sorry for the way I treated you
I'm stuck in my ways to just run
In the opposite way when things get comfortable
I'll keep on licking till your flavor is gone
[Chorus]
It's getting more impossible
To keep a straight face
And be trusted with
I love you
Don't trust my words when I'm in the bed with you
I'll bring the message, but the message gets lost
Yeah you opened your legs and maybe
I promised you
You didin't notice that my ankles were crossed
[Chorus]
Can you show me how to treat someone?
I don't recall ever learning how
Because I keep fucking up
I keep fucking up
I'm stuck in my ways to just run
In the opposite way when things get comfortable
I'll keep on licking till your flavor is gone
[Chorus]
It's getting more impossible
To keep a straight face
And be trusted with
I love you
Don't trust my words when I'm in the bed with you
I'll bring the message, but the message gets lost
Yeah you opened your legs and maybe
I promised you
You didin't notice that my ankles were crossed
[Chorus]
Can you show me how to treat someone?
I don't recall ever learning how
Because I keep fucking up
I keep fucking up
A Quiet Mind Lyrics – Blue October
A slow strangle with your feet on the floor
I've got 14 angels and we're sleeping alone
In the back of a cave, where the rest of us go
To feel normal
I call baby up. Leave me alone.
I'm in pain but I won't let you Band-Aid my wound
I am mad at a stage where I can't even handle my own (can't even handle my)
Give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
You give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
Until the end
Until the end
Give me strength to be kind... To combine
All the good things in life that are so hard to find
But I have and I won't let them go like I do with my friends (my friends)
Still hearing voices... From front... From behind
They're the reasons I choose... When to live... How to die
When to cast... When to reel
When to buy... When to steal
When to fiend for the friends that taught you
Being inappropriate will
Give me a quiet mind and I
I still love you
You give me a quiet mind and I
I love you
You give me a quiet (quiet) mind and I
I love you
You give me a quiet mind and I (you give me)
And I love you
Until the end
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
I've got 14 angels and we're sleeping alone
In the back of a cave, where the rest of us go
To feel normal
I call baby up. Leave me alone.
I'm in pain but I won't let you Band-Aid my wound
I am mad at a stage where I can't even handle my own (can't even handle my)
Give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
You give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
Until the end
Until the end
Give me strength to be kind... To combine
All the good things in life that are so hard to find
But I have and I won't let them go like I do with my friends (my friends)
Still hearing voices... From front... From behind
They're the reasons I choose... When to live... How to die
When to cast... When to reel
When to buy... When to steal
When to fiend for the friends that taught you
Being inappropriate will
Give me a quiet mind and I
I still love you
You give me a quiet mind and I
I love you
You give me a quiet (quiet) mind and I
I love you
You give me a quiet mind and I (you give me)
And I love you
Until the end
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

3 Weeks, She Sleeps Lyrics – Blue October
For 3 weeks, she sleeps
Through the rain
I've gotta try, to keep her dry
Or I'm out of ways
Self books, love cooks
Steel her away
Through you know, and where ya go
All in a day
So, la-di-da la-di-da ah-haa
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhh
La-di-da La-di-da ah-haa
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhh
Through the rain
I've gotta try, to keep her dry
Or I'm out of ways
Self books, love cooks
Steel her away
Through you know, and where ya go
All in a day
So, la-di-da la-di-da ah-haa
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhh
La-di-da La-di-da ah-haa
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhh
Inner Glow Lyrics – Blue October
I'm like a storm cloud eager when you go out
Calm again
I'll ask permission for the wrong to win
Drop the bomb and get your story out and get it on
In a haze the beginning of your days
Gonna fall down
Got to get back up but at your own pace
Got to fill your cup and find the way
Out of your own maze

And hide the rule book throw it in the waste
Look strong

Whether right or wrong you belong
I'm on your side if you fail atleat you tried
To keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alive
Yeah and pride don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alone

Or call it rock or pop or bach or fuck

Yeah we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah we only want to fly by the side making love to the rhythm be a jeckyl and a hyde
Yeah we only want a field we can run through
Yeah we only want a beat we can drum to
Yeah we only want to fly by the side making love to the rhythm be a jeckyl and a hyde
So stride if you fail atleast you tried
To keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alive
And pride don't keep it all inside

Somebody Lyrics – Blue October
So you dropped me
Held me by my feet and let me go
I fell between the seat, but nothing broke
I've yet to feel that brilliant afterglow
The one I knew of years ago
Now I'm twisted
Twisted from the waist and spun around
Promised only sky but given ground
Realized the makeup is for a clown
The clown I knew of months ago
[Chorus]
I only wanted to be somebody
So fucking bad, I came unglued
I only wanted to be somebody
So here we are now, face to face
And I'm fucking you
So you caught me!
Wishing I were better than the rest
You hit me and left bruises on my chest
And when I wouldn't cheat
I spit upon your test
The test I tore up weeks ago
And now my fist is
My fist is for your face to cock the jaw
When I begin to rise, you start to fall
Now you know how it feels to drop the ball
The ball I threw back days ago
[Chorus]
So I'll just stand right here for now
I should have won, but how?
I break a smart ass grin
Who let the loser win?
Let's break a smart ass grin
Let's let the losers win!
Held me by my feet and let me go
I fell between the seat, but nothing broke
I've yet to feel that brilliant afterglow
The one I knew of years ago
Now I'm twisted
Twisted from the waist and spun around
Promised only sky but given ground
Realized the makeup is for a clown
The clown I knew of months ago
[Chorus]
I only wanted to be somebody
So fucking bad, I came unglued
I only wanted to be somebody
So here we are now, face to face
And I'm fucking you
So you caught me!
Wishing I were better than the rest
You hit me and left bruises on my chest
And when I wouldn't cheat
I spit upon your test
The test I tore up weeks ago
And now my fist is
My fist is for your face to cock the jaw
When I begin to rise, you start to fall
Now you know how it feels to drop the ball
The ball I threw back days ago
[Chorus]
So I'll just stand right here for now
I should have won, but how?
I break a smart ass grin
Who let the loser win?
Let's break a smart ass grin
Let's let the losers win!
Come In Closer Lyrics – Blue October
The first born, my heart will call Truly
A God-like boy of the sky
The fog hissed away like a movie
And serpents go home for the night
The thundercloud rain hits the freeway
The clowns put on makeup for show
The nightfall, my skin crawl kind of evening
And how the wind she blows
How the wind she blows
[Chorus]
I want you to come closer
Come in closer. Come in closer.
I want you to come in closer
Come in closer. Come in closer.
I want you to come in closer, in closer
Come dancing with devils
Need not to know their names
We'll waltz like an army
For the fear of our pain
Our souls become useless
As the day they were born
In a rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm
But still, the truth remains lethal
A lie made by man
Where my shoes become hammers
And my words become sand
Like a sour patch, a wedding batch
Of roses you threw across my floor
In the rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm
[Chorus]
I really do
A God-like boy of the sky
The fog hissed away like a movie
And serpents go home for the night
The thundercloud rain hits the freeway
The clowns put on makeup for show
The nightfall, my skin crawl kind of evening
And how the wind she blows
How the wind she blows
[Chorus]
I want you to come closer
Come in closer. Come in closer.
I want you to come in closer
Come in closer. Come in closer.
I want you to come in closer, in closer
Come dancing with devils
Need not to know their names
We'll waltz like an army
For the fear of our pain
Our souls become useless
As the day they were born
In a rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm
But still, the truth remains lethal
A lie made by man
Where my shoes become hammers
And my words become sand
Like a sour patch, a wedding batch
Of roses you threw across my floor
In the rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm
[Chorus]
I really do
Amazing Lyrics – Blue October
How am I supposed to breathe?
I try to relax. I touch your still frame
So I can watch you closer
And study the ways I believe I belong to you
I scratch at your waist line... your doll hair
I dig up the thought of how your eyes glow
So I make you my religion, my collision, an escape goat
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?
[Chorus]
Can you pretend I'm amazing?
I can pretend I'm amazing...
Instead of what we both know
I cut to the punch line baby
Can you pretend I'm amazing
Instead of what we both know
Now our history is for sale
And for that I apoligize
You see you're my only know how
The study of when I believe I belonged to you
You see I've made you into something delicious,
My sweet ghost
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?
[Chorus]
I try to relax. I touch your still frame
So I can watch you closer
And study the ways I believe I belong to you
I scratch at your waist line... your doll hair
I dig up the thought of how your eyes glow
So I make you my religion, my collision, an escape goat
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?
[Chorus]
Can you pretend I'm amazing?
I can pretend I'm amazing...
Instead of what we both know
I cut to the punch line baby
Can you pretend I'm amazing
Instead of what we both know
Now our history is for sale
And for that I apoligize
You see you're my only know how
The study of when I believe I belonged to you
You see I've made you into something delicious,
My sweet ghost
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?
[Chorus]
Retarded Disfigured Clown Lyrics – Blue October
Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes.
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing, Letting go, stripping naked to scream.
I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns.
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown.
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall.
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will.
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better.
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing, Letting go, stripping naked to scream.
I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns.
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown.
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall.
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will.
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better.
Independently Happy Lyrics – Blue October
I feel that it's hard enough to say good-bye.
I feel there's the water. Should I sink or dive?
An empty plate, fill up my sentimental morning star.
I steal the art of putting truth in a lie.
I still want the girl that really caught my eye.
But, she lives in Oklahoma City, far away from me.
An empty hope chest.
Quit the dope quest,
And remain independently happy
I'm finally happy...happy... independently happy...
I deal with the fact that I've forgotten the worst.
I feel that my social behavior may seem somewhat unrehearsed.
Another page,
A sullen rage,
And I'll be back to my normal self.
And I'm finally happy...happy... independently happy...
I drive to the edge of my considerate plain.
I apologize to the people I hurt on the way.
I wipe the slate clean
I kick the daydream,
And remain independently happy.
I'm finally happy...happy... independently happy...
I feel there's the water. Should I sink or dive?
An empty plate, fill up my sentimental morning star.
I steal the art of putting truth in a lie.
I still want the girl that really caught my eye.
But, she lives in Oklahoma City, far away from me.
An empty hope chest.
Quit the dope quest,
And remain independently happy
I'm finally happy...happy... independently happy...
I deal with the fact that I've forgotten the worst.
I feel that my social behavior may seem somewhat unrehearsed.
Another page,
A sullen rage,
And I'll be back to my normal self.
And I'm finally happy...happy... independently happy...
I drive to the edge of my considerate plain.
I apologize to the people I hurt on the way.
I wipe the slate clean
I kick the daydream,
And remain independently happy.
I'm finally happy...happy... independently happy...
James Lyrics – Blue October
Kneel down
Close your eyes
Hit the ground
I want you to, to kneel all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I said
Scream if you want to
Cause no one is around
I want you to
To scream all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
And I say
How I love to hate you! [repeat]
You're
not so brave
When I'm the snake
And you're my prey
Let me tell you I'll eat all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I say
Squeal if you want to
Cause no
no one is around
I want you to
To squeal all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
And I say
How I love to hate you! [repeat]
James, how I love to hate you
Oh, how I love
How I love to hate you...
Close your eyes
Hit the ground
I want you to, to kneel all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I said
Scream if you want to
Cause no one is around
I want you to
To scream all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
And I say
How I love to hate you! [repeat]
You're
not so brave
When I'm the snake
And you're my prey
Let me tell you I'll eat all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I say
Squeal if you want to
Cause no
no one is around
I want you to
To squeal all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
And I say
How I love to hate you! [repeat]
James, how I love to hate you
Oh, how I love
How I love to hate you...
HRSA Lyrics – Blue October
Comitted at twenty two
Just to get over you
My belly aches blue
Lorazepam flu
I'm down for the count
Always three times a day
Sometimes four
A bee stings right through the arm
The high swing I ride upon
My eyes can't quite focus on
The nurse with my Lucky Charms
Well a two step was just a laugh
Our boundaries were broke in half
It's a good thing to know
As you walk into group for the show
knock-knock on the window pane
My smoke break, the hour rang
My quiet roommate sleeps the same
Woke up when dinner came
The man's no more than forty old
Arrived scared two days ago
A family of earth and gold
But still nottheless alone
I learned quick. Knew what to say
Then three angels walked my way
In Spanish tongue they knelt to pray
And said "God keep him safe
From screaming voices"
They became my family
Outstretched their hands are on my head
You know, I can feel them breathing
They actually knelt down and prayed for me
They actually knelt down and prayed for me
Don't you dare put me on H.R.S.A
Does self abuse extend your hospital stay?
I think I'll lie a bit
Lord I won't cry over anything
Over anything at all
I won't cry over anything at all
Just to get over you
My belly aches blue
Lorazepam flu
I'm down for the count
Always three times a day
Sometimes four
A bee stings right through the arm
The high swing I ride upon
My eyes can't quite focus on
The nurse with my Lucky Charms
Well a two step was just a laugh
Our boundaries were broke in half
It's a good thing to know
As you walk into group for the show
knock-knock on the window pane
My smoke break, the hour rang
My quiet roommate sleeps the same
Woke up when dinner came
The man's no more than forty old
Arrived scared two days ago
A family of earth and gold
But still nottheless alone
I learned quick. Knew what to say
Then three angels walked my way
In Spanish tongue they knelt to pray
And said "God keep him safe
From screaming voices"
They became my family
Outstretched their hands are on my head
You know, I can feel them breathing
They actually knelt down and prayed for me
They actually knelt down and prayed for me
Don't you dare put me on H.R.S.A
Does self abuse extend your hospital stay?
I think I'll lie a bit
Lord I won't cry over anything
Over anything at all
I won't cry over anything at all
Breakfast After Ten Lyrics – Blue October
White kitchen walls with a thousand windows
Turn on Winston in the den
And I'm still asleep but I can hear the piano
When you make breakfast after 10
And I smell the coffee on your fingers
I still smell the perfume in the bed
The crushed linen roses on everything
And you're still inside my head
You gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
You're the one with all the pride
So just pick your head up boy, and
Walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you know
Cause in a month or two she'll call you
You gotta hang up the phone
I hope she knows I've got this memory
That won't ever seem to break or bend
A thick lock & sheet rock is on my windows in the kitchen
I don't think I'll ever take em' down again
And I've learned a lot from all these break ups and make ups
And fuck ups and fake ups
Things that I wish you could comprehend yeah, comprehend
But for now I'll lace up
these wingtip shoes, boys
And I'll go have breakfast with my good friends
You got to make her know how it feels to miss you
You got to let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
You're the one with all the pride
You got to make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping spit
You're not the one with all the problems
She's the one that's full of shit
So just pick your head up, boys and
Walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you know
In a month or two she'll call you
You got to
Hang up the phone...
Turn on Winston in the den
And I'm still asleep but I can hear the piano
When you make breakfast after 10
And I smell the coffee on your fingers
I still smell the perfume in the bed
The crushed linen roses on everything
And you're still inside my head
You gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
You're the one with all the pride
So just pick your head up boy, and
Walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you know
Cause in a month or two she'll call you
You gotta hang up the phone
I hope she knows I've got this memory

I don't think I'll ever take em' down again
And I've learned a lot from all these break ups and make ups
And fuck ups and fake ups

And I'll go have breakfast with my good friends

Walk the coolest walk that you know
In a month or two she'll call you
You got to
Hang up the phone...
Balance Beam Lyrics – Blue October
I haven't been quite the same
So sure the story of my life would never change
In a bright eyed way
I rinsed out the soap in my eyes and wrote a song that I'm about to sing
'cause it's about a girl that I hardly even know
So this is not another love song
Just a list of things that I should know
Everyone should know that...
[Chorus]
One: You've got to take it kind of slowly
Two: You've got to hurry up and make your move
Three: You've got to tell her that she's pretty
Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend
Yeah you're got to show her that she's a balance beam
And I keep falling all around this fairy tale.
We took a walk in the rain
I suggested, she confessed that
there's a heart nearby to cast some shade.
Stay cool but I'm giddy like a school boy
You've got to handle with care this is not a toy
Gradually we touched
Though our clothes were wet
We sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most
[Repeat Chorus]
Everyone should know that
[Repeat Chorus]
Oh this fairy tale oh this fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale. Some kind of fairy tale.
Everyone should know that.
So sure the story of my life would never change
In a bright eyed way
I rinsed out the soap in my eyes and wrote a song that I'm about to sing
'cause it's about a girl that I hardly even know
So this is not another love song
Just a list of things that I should know
Everyone should know that...
[Chorus]
One: You've got to take it kind of slowly
Two: You've got to hurry up and make your move
Three: You've got to tell her that she's pretty
Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend
Yeah you're got to show her that she's a balance beam
And I keep falling all around this fairy tale.
We took a walk in the rain
I suggested, she confessed that
there's a heart nearby to cast some shade.
Stay cool but I'm giddy like a school boy
You've got to handle with care this is not a toy
Gradually we touched
Though our clothes were wet
We sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most
[Repeat Chorus]
Everyone should know that
[Repeat Chorus]
Oh this fairy tale oh this fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale. Some kind of fairy tale.
Everyone should know that.
Holler Lyrics – Blue October
When you holler baby
When you holler at me
What you want me to be
When you holler baby
When you holler at me
What you want me to
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
I won't be apart of this drawn out game
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
You're holding my back against the sunshine
You might not think its over
But it's over for me
I need your reflection like a thin line
You might not think its over
But it's over for
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
I won't be apart of this drawn out game
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
You don't treat me the right way
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
I won't be apart of this drawn out game
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
You don't treat me the right way
When you holler at me
What you want me to be
When you holler baby
When you holler at me
What you want me to
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
I won't be apart of this drawn out game
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
You're holding my back against the sunshine
You might not think its over
But it's over for me
I need your reflection like a thin line
You might not think its over
But it's over for
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
I won't be apart of this drawn out game
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
You don't treat me the right way
I won't be strong and I won't brave
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
I won't be apart of this drawn out game
I never stay
Because you don't treat me the right way
You don't treat me the right way
Schizophrenia Lyrics – Blue October
A silver plated numbing gum
And Jesus resting on my thumb
A hard to reach malaria
I've got the mood that seems to scare ya.
I'm paranoid, self destroyed.
Believe me lord I'm sorry
I've got the mood that seems to bury ya
I've got the nightmare called...
Schizophrenia
[Chorus]
I cry. I cry and I don't know why.
The fever becomes my home.
I cry. I cry and I don't know why.
The fever becomes my home.
Becomes my home.
I love it when you're holding me.
You have a gentle way of calming.
I haven't felt that way since 1993,
When my mother held me.
I bet you're waiting for a long sob story
OF how I was mistreated again.
No, I wasn't built that way.
I was strong but desperately brave,
And I didn't mean to scareya...
Schizophrenia.
[Repeat Chorus]
And Jesus resting on my thumb
A hard to reach malaria
I've got the mood that seems to scare ya.
I'm paranoid, self destroyed.

Drop Lyrics – Blue October
I touch the tongue to see
A devil's face in front of me
You blow your nose then cry
The clown demands a sad good-bye
A sad good-bye.
Black below the tree
White horses dead in front of me
A scar below the cheek
There's a sweaty man in a bloody sink.
[Chorus]
It's just a trip not a way to ease your pain
Self help...Tell another shrink the same damn thing
Stay cool, everything is going to be OK
I think it's about time to ease your pain
Until you decide to drop again
Until you decide to drop again
A blue jean girl to be
Sweaty man is behind the trees
The flip side of sanity is the game
Fourteen million miles away from sane
A dark man in the restroom window pane
Whose words just pour out human pain.
[Repeat Chorus]
Now I'm so high, so high.
A devil's face in front of me
You blow your nose then cry
The clown demands a sad good-bye
A sad good-bye.
Black below the tree
White horses dead in front of me
A scar below the cheek
There's a sweaty man in a bloody sink.
[Chorus]
It's just a trip not a way to ease your pain
Self help...Tell another shrink the same damn thing
Stay cool, everything is going to be OK
I think it's about time to ease your pain
Until you decide to drop again
Until you decide to drop again
A blue jean girl to be
Sweaty man is behind the trees
The flip side of sanity is the game
Fourteen million miles away from sane
A dark man in the restroom window pane
Whose words just pour out human pain.
[Repeat Chorus]
Now I'm so high, so high.
Conversation Via Radio Lyrics – Blue October
You must be broken
By a thousand ways of wasting time
Get to the point
And off a hundred lines a week
No need to change my mind
A cleaner shade of thinking time
But I seem to think more than I act upon most things.
[Chorus]
Do you ever wonder
How hard you hit?
You broke my thunder
Do you ever wonder
How hard you hit?
You broke my thunder
God made this night for me, a silly devil in my talking
Romantic company for walking. Over and out...Over and out...
This year is the year I want to be, that silly devil in me talking
Romantic company for walking. Over and out...Over and out...
[Repeat Chorus]
I'm cramped and crawling from under the dead
I'm sick of living without you in bed
I've made mistakes that I wrote... That I read...
But now I just can't seem to be preoccupied
The heart was tossed with a black lace chain
With these hands that I write with
And the ode that I live by...
I will never be with you.
A scar was sewn
A drop of blood was saved for making wine
Still no repent
On how you crumble when I shake
A mental jaw was used
To pry me from this wrecking bond
The sad detail is all the promises I make.

Angel Lyrics – Blue October
I'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see
I feel like a boy the age of 13
My body grows up
But my mind stays the same
Look me in the face
What do you see?
How do you tell an angel
That you don't believe in God?
Why do I feel
Like such a stranger
I look around
I look around
And all my friends are gone
But oh would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
How do you tell your Father,
That you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem like such a bother?
When mom says you'd be better off dead
But I want to see you
I still want to see you
Oh would you call me?
Oh it's not hard too
I'm the first one
Oh you gave birth to
And oh would you write me
On my birthday
Graduation, was yesterday
Yesterday
Oh...
How do you hold the special victim?
When they push you away
When they've been
Raped on the inside
Torn on the outside
The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide
Touched in private places
Embarrassed faces
To scared to ask for help
Oh would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
You'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
I'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see?
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see
I feel like a boy the age of 13
My body grows up
But my mind stays the same
Look me in the face
What do you see?
How do you tell an angel
That you don't believe in God?
Why do I feel
Like such a stranger
I look around
I look around
And all my friends are gone
But oh would you be me?

What do you see?
Libby I'm Listening Lyrics – Blue October
Innertube sunset
With a kiss and a cigarette
You're better than any midnight sex
I can't stop cause if feels too good
I won't stop but I know I should
Believe me I'm not always on a serious side.
[Chorus]
Cause I can make you laugh, if he makes you scream
If he breaks you, tell me everything
Cause here we are alone again
Libby I'm listening
Cause I can make you laugh, if he makes you scream
If he breaks you, tell me everything
Cause here we are alone again
Libby I'm listening
It's hard to fill the empty space
When they're your prayers
Your love, your fucking grace
Closed eyed sleeping face to face
Sweet girl with such a tender taste

Amnesia Lyrics – Blue October
Trampoline
I'm your
Trampoline
Oh you jump so hard but I always catch your fall
So now I'll just
Hide away (you know I think I will)
Hide away
Oh, I run so fast but I always lose them all
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things I've done
I wish I knew how to keep the promises I made you
But life i guess it goes on
Yeah I know it goes on
You see I've learned it goes on
But then I'll hang us on the wall
And I'll crawl in the open side
And I'm blind to it all
So why don't you
Crawl in my open side and become blind to it all
You know I think it's time to pray
For the contortion, my abortion
That I somehow shoved away
I think it's right for me (yeah I think it's right for me)
When I was young I was stung
And somehow lost God's faith
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things I've done
I wish I knew how to keep these promises I made
But I guess life goes on
Yeah I know it goes on
You see I've learned it goes on
Way back when I must have sinned
I break down profound, beginning, end
Head trip re-grip what doesn't mend
But I'm wishing this amnesia would kick in [repeat 2x]
I'm your
Trampoline
Oh you jump so hard but I always catch your fall
So now I'll just
Hide away (you know I think I will)
Hide away
Oh, I run so fast but I always lose them all
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things I've done
I wish I knew how to keep the promises I made you
But life i guess it goes on
Yeah I know it goes on
You see I've learned it goes on
But then I'll hang us on the wall
And I'll crawl in the open side
And I'm blind to it all
So why don't you
Crawl in my open side and become blind to it all
You know I think it's time to pray
For the contortion, my abortion
That I somehow shoved away
I think it's right for me (yeah I think it's right for me)
When I was young I was stung
And somehow lost God's faith
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things I've done
I wish I knew how to keep these promises I made
But I guess life goes on
Yeah I know it goes on
You see I've learned it goes on
Way back when I must have sinned
I break down profound, beginning, end
Head trip re-grip what doesn't mend

The Answer Lyrics – Blue October
If I can't crawl inside of you,
I'm laughing with a broken face
I stumble across my self esteem.
But to picture the pleasure is making me want my space.
Understand...
that God wrapped you like a bow.
But in my head...
There's some shelves that need cleaning,
from basement to ceiling, control.
If what you're seeing is an open book,
that's great 'cause I'm an open book.
But I'm real shy.
There's a part of me seeking and desperately needing to open up.
That's strange 'cause I'm an open book, a confused boy.
I'm an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people.
My heart while in its cage,
give and not receive a thing,
But the only funny thing is that I don't know how to give myself advice.
I've got this post dramatic thing
I've got this tattoo of a ring that lies
around my wedding finger and that'ss where I want to state this claim.
That I've got to learn to live and dream
before I go and get myself in love.
In love.
Before, before, before I go and get myself in love
There's Zoloft, Welbutrin, there's Paxil that's proven, no side effects.
But the rest left unnamed 'cause they worked like a charm on me.
But when your saving is drying,
you can't stop from crying
you've got to suck it up.
You're not her buttercup,
you're not her favorite book.
And I am an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people.
My heart while in its cage,
give and not receive a thing,
But the only funny thing is that I don't know how to give myself advice.
I've got this post dramatic thing
I've got this tattoo of a ring that lies
around my wedding finger and thats where I want to state this claim.
That I've got to learn to live and dream

In love.

2 A.M. Lovesick Lyrics – Blue October
A walk like a burned out porn star
With aching feet for a car
My buddy had a baby with a girl named star
Makes me appreciate how the little things are
But crossing a road isn't easily told
To a young has-been centerfold
Labelled a winner's episode
Yeah, I'm really clean if you know what I mean
Except for this recurring dream
Of losing total feeling
While the windmill's squealing
The windmill's squealing
I paint to kill the dead saints
I paint to make it clear
My colors run in blue and gray
But they give hope to someone dear
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2AM lovesick
With a walking pneumonia drumkick
And this candle doens't have a wick
But I'm really not that scared
No, I'm not that scared
A walk like a burned out porn star
With aching feet for a car
My buddy had a baby with a girl named star
Makes me appreciate how the little things are
With aching feet for a car
My buddy had a baby with a girl named star
Makes me appreciate how the little things are
But crossing a road isn't easily told
To a young has-been centerfold
Labelled a winner's episode
Yeah, I'm really clean if you know what I mean
Except for this recurring dream
Of losing total feeling
While the windmill's squealing
The windmill's squealing
I paint to kill the dead saints
I paint to make it clear
My colors run in blue and gray
But they give hope to someone dear
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2AM lovesick
With a walking pneumonia drumkick
And this candle doens't have a wick
But I'm really not that scared
No, I'm not that scared
A walk like a burned out porn star
With aching feet for a car
My buddy had a baby with a girl named star
Makes me appreciate how the little things are
The 21st Lyrics – Blue October
The 21st. comes so soon every month
An anniversary of not being strong enough
You're much too co-dependent
A shrink is recommended
Your father tells you to try to be responsable
Your mother loves you, but not the way she did before
Your brother's torn to pieces
But no one knows the reasons
He loves the winter, but it smells too much like memories
The ornament she gave him still hangs from his Christmas tree
A jingle bell will glisten
That's when she loved to kiss him
So say farewell to all the little things she would say and do
The morning, sleepy eyed girl waves goodbye to you
You're much to co-dependent
A shrink is recommended
Yeah...
But yeah, who are the people you hang around with?
Who are the ones you're gonna call?
When you feel like ending it all?
But yeah, who are the people you hang around with?
Who are the ones you're gonna call?
When you feel like ending it all?
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
An anniversary of not being strong enough
You're much too co-dependent
A shrink is recommended
Your father tells you to try to be responsable
Your mother loves you, but not the way she did before
Your brother's torn to pieces

So say farewell to all the little things she would say and do
The morning, sleepy eyed girl waves goodbye to you
You're much to co-dependent

But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
But I can't bring you down
Breakfast After 10 Lyrics – Blue October
White kitchen walls with a thousand windows
Turn on Winston in the den
And I'm still asleep but I can hear the piano
When you make breakfast after 10
And I smell the coffee on your fingers
I still smell the perfume in the bed
The crushed linen roses on everything
And you're still inside my head
You gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
You're the one with all the pride
So just pick your head up boy, and
Walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you know
Cause in a month or two she'll call you
You gotta hang up the phone
I hope she knows I've got this memory
That won't ever seem to break or bend
A thick lock & sheet rock is on my windows in the kitchen
I don't think I'll ever take em' down again
And I've learned a lot from all these break ups and make ups
And fuck ups and fake ups
Things that I wish you could comprehend yeah, comprehend
But for now I'll lace up
these wingtip shoes, boys
And I'll go have breakfast with my good friends
You got to make her know how it feels to miss you
You got to let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
You're the one with all the pride
You got to make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping spit
You're not the one with all the problems
She's the one that's full of shit
So just pick your head up, boys and
Walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you know
In a month or two she'll call you
You got to
Hang up the phone...
Turn on Winston in the den
And I'm still asleep but I can hear the piano
When you make breakfast after 10
And I smell the coffee on your fingers
I still smell the perfume in the bed
The crushed linen roses on everything
And you're still inside my head
You gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
You're the one with all the pride
So just pick your head up boy, and

Italian Radio Lyrics – Blue October
I ended the book that I'm writing.
The part about you I'm tearing it out.
A simple goodnight, stop fighting,
There's nothing left to even read about.
I'm leaving you here my darling,
to search for a better and easy way out.
Through all of the pain that I'm causing,
There's nothing left to even sing about
And it goes......
Recorded Italian radio.
I changed up the words to make you happy though.
In front of the midnight music chow,
I beat up, I beat up the boy that made her happy
though
I've noticed the things that you wanted me to be.
They outweigh the ones that make me happy.
So pull out your hand to meet my...my fine new lady,
She's rock n' roll,
and she saved me.
And it goes....
The part about you I'm tearing it out.
A simple goodnight, stop fighting,
There's nothing left to even read about.
I'm leaving you here my darling,
to search for a better and easy way out.
Through all of the pain that I'm causing,
There's nothing left to even sing about
And it goes......
Recorded Italian radio.
I changed up the words to make you happy though.
In front of the midnight music chow,
I beat up, I beat up the boy that made her happy
though
I've noticed the things that you wanted me to be.
They outweigh the ones that make me happy.
So pull out your hand to meet my...my fine new lady,
She's rock n' roll,
and she saved me.
And it goes....
For My Brother Lyrics – Blue October
It would simply say everything if you would
take a pen and write my name on a friend
who never cared to let me in.
Then take a fast ravine that for
three years swimming straight upstream and the wind,
the wind will drag me down in the end.
You live inside my wall and I,
I reach back, hit your harder than God falls
Christ, Amen, Amen, Amen.
You're such a line to break and I'm,
I'm so scared to make another mistake in the end
But I just want to be happy again.
Until it all falls down,
and where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
with a broken heart and a straight face
I'm saying, "brother, help me"
It's just a natural phase that I,
I go through and then it's taken away and then bam, bam, I'm fixed.
(fixed, fixed, fixed..)
And I'm in another place to be where I,
I can't sleep without the thought of me being so, so damn sick.
(I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick)
But take this song, take this song away
until it all falls down,
and where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
with a broken heart and a straight face
And he says "reach for the girl,
reach for the girl and hold her close.
Believe you can shine when you're silver,
and I promise you gold. I promise you gold.
And whenever you're dark inside,
don't let go. No, don't let go.
Remember there's rain and there's candy and Christmasy winter snow.
And remember I love you the same and I'll strangle you're pain"
And he tells me to sing, and I sing,
and I sing for my brother who keeps me sane
and tells me everything will be ok.
I'm so alone
God, I'm so alone
I'm so alone
I'm alone
take a pen and write my name on a friend
who never cared to let me in.
Then take a fast ravine that for
three years swimming straight upstream and the wind,
the wind will drag me down in the end.
You live inside my wall and I,
I reach back, hit your harder than God falls
Christ, Amen, Amen, Amen.
You're such a line to break and I'm,
I'm so scared to make another mistake in the end
But I just want to be happy again.
Until it all falls down,
and where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
with a broken heart and a straight face

And I'm in another place to be where I,
I can't sleep without the thought of me being so, so damn sick.
(I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick)
But take this song, take this song away

I'm so alone
God, I'm so alone
I'm so alone
I'm alone
Sweet And Somber Pigeon Wings Lyrics – Blue October
The sweet and somber pigeon wings,
cant we all recall when MaMa and PaPa,
were the sweet tooth Christmas Ball.
A Picturesque holiday family.
Of course I was small and all i knew was my Grandpa,
But I really didn't know him at all.
My blood, my cousins my calvary.
A piece of them gone but still I feel them strong,
When I reach for Daivid 'cuz our Grandpa is gone.
I shout out.... I got love for the family.
My Mother's a da\oll and my Father can stop any brawl,
Pucker up I'd like to kiss you all.
Open your eyes... a new song 'cuz the family's wrong,
So don't lecture me.
But as far as I can see,
the stepmom, yeah the widow's palm is what's
crushing me,
and this family.
Beyond my time
I's beyond my time
cant we all recall when MaMa and PaPa,
were the sweet tooth Christmas Ball.
A Picturesque holiday family.
Of course I was small and all i knew was my Grandpa,
But I really didn't know him at all.
My blood, my cousins my calvary.
A piece of them gone but still I feel them strong,
When I reach for Daivid 'cuz our Grandpa is gone.
I shout out.... I got love for the family.
My Mother's a da\oll and my Father can stop any brawl,
Pucker up I'd like to kiss you all.
Open your eyes... a new song 'cuz the family's wrong,
So don't lecture me.
But as far as I can see,
the stepmom, yeah the widow's palm is what's
crushing me,
and this family.
Beyond my time
I's beyond my time
Weakness Lyrics – Blue October
My weaknesses,
Rear their ugly faces on a day to day basis.
Stay calm and try to see this,
I'm always sensitive relaxing,
always delicately asking.
But I can't seem to fly away,
I'm feeling small, tall and sick of it all,
and all I want to do is crawl.
You...fly alway,
I'm feeling small, tall and sick of it all,
and all I want to do is say...
How to cook up pride?
If you lemon your behavior
it will side a different flavor.
How to change my mind?
If you break apart the candy,
gently slip it in my brandy.
But I can't seem to fly away.
I'm feeling tall small and sick of it all,
and Esti says that it's my calling.
Fly away.
I'm feeling tall small and sick of it all,
and I want to do is say...
Hold your candle high.
If they jeopardize your meaning,
you must strike upon their ceiling.
If I'm right then who am I?
Well I am simply just the candy,
that you slipped within my brandy
Rear their ugly faces on a day to day basis.
Stay calm and try to see this,
I'm always sensitive relaxing,
always delicately asking.
But I can't seem to fly away,
I'm feeling small, tall and sick of it all,
and all I want to do is crawl.
You...fly alway,
I'm feeling small, tall and sick of it all,
and all I want to do is say...
How to cook up pride?
If you lemon your behavior
it will side a different flavor.
How to change my mind?
If you break apart the candy,
gently slip it in my brandy.
But I can't seem to fly away.
I'm feeling tall small and sick of it all,
and Esti says that it's my calling.
Fly away.
I'm feeling tall small and sick of it all,
and I want to do is say...
Hold your candle high.
If they jeopardize your meaning,
you must strike upon their ceiling.
If I'm right then who am I?
Well I am simply just the candy,
that you slipped within my brandy
Blue Sunshine Lyrics – Blue October
I see your heart beat through the bedsheets
I feel your pulse against the floor
I sleep the sadness that no one else sleeps
Feel me cunningly adore
As the tic tock clock lies Goldilocks
What a sick enchanted view
Of the white blot sin that we all began
Not the girl that I once knew
Blue Sunshine
I've got no vacancies
At the top of the clock was Jesus spying on me
I spoke of friends
point me which direction
I tried a bribe of when I die but swore he never mentioned.
I kicked and screamed
It's simple, you must sing
The day I take you, you'll be sleeping
You won't feel a thing
...a thing.
I feel your pulse against the floor
I sleep the sadness that no one else sleeps
Feel me cunningly adore
As the tic tock clock lies Goldilocks
What a sick enchanted view
Of the white blot sin that we all began
Not the girl that I once knew
Blue Sunshine
I've got no vacancies
At the top of the clock was Jesus spying on me
I spoke of friends
point me which direction
I tried a bribe of when I die but swore he never mentioned.
I kicked and screamed
It's simple, you must sing
The day I take you, you'll be sleeping
You won't feel a thing
...a thing.

Writing on a cup of coffee
As she waits my table
And she smiles when able
from the inside
And who would've thought a cup of coffee
Would make my legs unstable
Shaking
Under the table
Must be stagefright
And would it really phase me
If I had all the toys of
All the clumsy boys for you
And would it really kill you
If you would try to have a good time
Instead of screwing up mine
Like you usually do
Im in Love
Brings a cup of coffee as she sits down slowly
Now the chair is holy
From the inside
And who would've thought that a cup of coffee
Would make my legs unstable
Shaking
Under the table
Must be stagefright
Im in Love
As she waits my table
And she smiles when able
from the inside
And who would've thought a cup of coffee
Would make my legs unstable
Shaking
Under the table
Must be stagefright
And would it really phase me
If I had all the toys of
All the clumsy boys for you
And would it really kill you
If you would try to have a good time
Instead of screwing up mine
Like you usually do
Im in Love
Brings a cup of coffee as she sits down slowly
Now the chair is holy
From the inside
And who would've thought that a cup of coffee
Would make my legs unstable
Shaking
Under the table
Must be stagefright
Im in Love
Darkest Side Of Houston's Finest Day Lyrics – Blue October
He's scared
Her ship arrived and came in yesterday
The darkest side of Houston's finest day
You fell alseep, my love
And i fantasize
That the wind blew harder than it ever did
This song we started, will it ever end
You fell alseep again
Well goodbye
With shaking hands I dropped it instantly
Then kicked the phone and stood invincibly
Oh, then started to cry
But i'm twenty now
And I wanna see my nineteenth year again
Hold on to me, you are the closest thing i've ever had
To a real friend
To a real friend, friend, friend
Her ship arrived and came in yesterday
The darkest side of Houston's finest day
You fell alseep, my love
And i fantasize
That the wind blew harder than it ever did
This song we started, will it ever end
You fell alseep again
Well goodbye
With shaking hands I dropped it instantly
Then kicked the phone and stood invincibly
Oh, then started to cry
But i'm twenty now
And I wanna see my nineteenth year again
Hold on to me, you are the closest thing i've ever had
To a real friend
To a real friend, friend, friend
Tomorrow Lyrics – Blue October
Tomorrow
I'm gonna find a way to die
I'm living only for a lover
And the death of you and I
But if you find a way to break my back
With needles, thread, and guilt
Will you cover me in kerosene
And burn my strychnine quilt
Yeah, will you spit upon the path I took
Will you cry from all the drugs I took
Will be my little come down hook
And I'll never ask again
Will I wake up feeling half of you
Has been striped or torn in two
To kill a young man's point of view
Is to kill his only friend
Oh, oh
Tomorrow
We're gonna find a place to live
I'm packing only means for red wood dreams
It's a place that you'll be excepted
Oh fuck the world
Just a boy and a girl
But it's that leach you'll have to shake
Through the love we'll need to make
Call me sure
Yeah I'm sure I said
I said I'm open wide
But you really have to understand
We'll build a water slide
If you're brave enough to hold my hand
Oh, oh
I'm gonna find a way to die
I'm living only for a lover
And the death of you and I
But if you find a way to break my back
With needles, thread, and guilt
Will you cover me in kerosene
And burn my strychnine quilt
Yeah, will you spit upon the path I took
Will you cry from all the drugs I took
Will be my little come down hook
And I'll never ask again
Will I wake up feeling half of you
Has been striped or torn in two
To kill a young man's point of view
Is to kill his only friend
Oh, oh
Tomorrow
We're gonna find a place to live
I'm packing only means for red wood dreams
It's a place that you'll be excepted
Oh fuck the world
Just a boy and a girl
But it's that leach you'll have to shake
Through the love we'll need to make
Call me sure
Yeah I'm sure I said
I said I'm open wide
But you really have to understand
We'll build a water slide
If you're brave enough to hold my hand
Oh, oh
Black Orchid lyrics - blue october
Have you ever been so lonely,
No one there to hold?
Pull me in or disown me,
And then climb inside.
My arms are open wide.
Have a look inside.
It is not that I am scared to learn,
Why I'm empty inside.
hold my hand or show some concern,
If I live or die.
My eyes are open wide.
Help me look inside.
I hear the water drip from the faucet.
It's sweetly falling in tune.
I'm gently closing the closet.
I fall to the floor,
and crawl to my room.
The thought of ending it soon...
Just let me sleep in my room.
Hear me cry! cry! cry!
I hear a knock at the front door.
Don't come in!
I try to look at you
But I can't stop shaking.
Leave me alone. Just go away.
Mother I'm so scared.
Empty bed and all of the sheets are gone,
They're wrapped around me and you.
All is quiet but the drop of a gun.
I want to belong...to someone...
But maybe life's not for everyone
No one there to hold?
Pull me in or disown me,
And then climb inside.
My arms are open wide.
Have a look inside.
It is not that I am scared to learn,
Why I'm empty inside.
hold my hand or show some concern,
If I live or die.
My eyes are open wide.
Help me look inside.
I hear the water drip from the faucet.
It's sweetly falling in tune.
I'm gently closing the closet.
I fall to the floor,
and crawl to my room.
The thought of ending it soon...
Just let me sleep in my room.
Hear me cry! cry! cry!
I hear a knock at the front door.
Don't come in!
I try to look at you
But I can't stop shaking.
Leave me alone. Just go away.
Mother I'm so scared.
Empty bed and all of the sheets are gone,
They're wrapped around me and you.
All is quiet but the drop of a gun.
I want to belong...to someone...
But maybe life's not for everyone
