Opportunity

I didn't know you'd been replaced by another boy-
Your luck it fluctuates with time
Like the talk in this town; your luck it goes up and down
I didn't know you'd been around-
That's the first I'd heard,
You need to think before you do
Before you hurt those close,
Those close around you
When the opportunity comes, you just say no
It's not a hard thing to do when you're with a girl you care for
A common trait unites us all when you think of it:
We like to feel as though we're loved
And when we're messed around, oh it really gets us down
So treating others like you want to be treated
When feeling mistreated really works
We're living in a hypocritical world- look out for yourself
And when the opportunity comes, you just say no
It's not a hard thing to do when you're with a girl you care for
When the opportunity comes, you just say no
It shouldn't be a hard thing to do when you're with a girl you care for

The Kindest Thing to Do

You know that I've been feeling lost for quite some time now
Each time that we talk I only feel much further away
And though I'd do all I could to stop myself when we'd fall out
I'd only have these distant words to say:
All my- all of the time I spend without you with me nearby
Maybe I'm just consoling you
Though I- though that I've not myself been wholly faithful, I'll try
I know it's the kindest thing to do
I know that you've been feeling we could spend more time now
Each time that you say it I just feel much further from you
And though I'd do all I could to let you know, you would call out
It seems there's only one thing left to do-
I'm sorry it's true
All my- all of the time I spend without you with me nearby
Maybe I'm just consoling you
Though I- though that I've not myself been wholly faithful, I'll try
I know it's the kindest thing to do

One Eye

With one eye he turned and lazily threw a gaze
Across the crowded floor to carelessly survey the opening
Between the bustling all
And when arriving into the emptiness it was all that he hoped and more,
So take to inspect each opportunity,
'Cause it's all that you need to do
When nobody cares and noone will notice
The weight that you'd share when you're overcome
When there's nobody there, and you're all surrounded
It will be too much to bear, not having you there
When you're dead and gone
Tell me you're upset with me, I want you to be
Want you to be so sure, and tell them all that I upset you
Tell them all that I don't get you
With one arm I'll lead you into the emptiness
It will be all that you've hoped and more
You'll see the others in the community,
And all that they'd do for you
When nobody cares and noone will notice
The weight that you'd share when you're overcome
When there's nobody there, and you're all surrounded
It will be too much to bear, not having you there
When you're dead and gone

Thought I Might Do

Feels like my mind is made of all these different states
And when I try to turn attention to what I'm to do,
I have to wait for it
Spending all my time just trying to find that type of mind I need
To do the things I need to do
But it's hopeless
Woah, it's good to know
That you, you have it to
I feel I feel it in you
At times it feels as though I only make mistakes
When it's my turn to learn and take from them I falter, then
It's much too late for it
I'm spending all my time just trying to grow it's going slowly
Don't you know I'm feeling much too low
I'm hopeless
So, it's good to know
That you, you feel it too
I see me in you, and
I thought I might do
Feels like my mind is made of all these different states
And when I try to turn attention to what I'm to do,
I have to wait for it
Spending all my time just trying to find that type of mind I need
To do the things I need to do
But it's hopeless
