Unconditional







I've spent my whole life surrounded
and I've spent my whole life alone
I wonder why I never wonder why
The easiest things are so hard
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want something
Something for nothing
Something, something for nothing








I'm a beggar and I'm a chooser
I'm accused, I'm an accuser
But nothing's unconditional







I hold the whole world accused
I've only got myself to blame
I wonder why, I never wonder why
The easiest things are so hard






I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want something
Something for nothing
Something, something for nothing






I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want something
Something for nothing
Something, something for nothing





I'm a beggar and I'm a chooser
I'm accused, I'm an accuser
But nothing's unconditional

An Honest Mistake






People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...







Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake







Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud








My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...







Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake







Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Believe







The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
We do our time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving for






There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for?






So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe




Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
It swells into the air
With the rising
Rising sound
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting for







I am hiding from some beast
But the beast was always here
Watching without eyes
Because the beast is just my fear
That I am just nothing
Now its just what I've become
What am I waiting for
Its already done
