I don't need the stars aligned
I don't need the perfect line
I don't need a ******* thing
Just treat me nice and kind

I don't need a million words
I don't need a perfect world
I don't need a ******* thing
Just tell me what I'm worth

It never ceases to amaze me
How much people need
I think they're crazy
But maybe that's just me

I don't need a hero's heart
I don't need shooting stars
I don't need a ******* thing
I just need you to be who you are

I went down to the St. Francis Memorial
A morgue built over broken hearts
I found a rose and I pinned it to my clothes
As I tore my family apart

Let me go, let me go in peace
Let me rest without any pain
I don't want to be praised or spiritually saved
I just want my memory to remain

Send me home, send me home dear mother
Wherever it is that you may be
And in the evening sun when the day is done
Please don't shed a tear for me

As I walk along St. Francis Memorial
Looking at the name on every stone
Nothing hurts worse than the sight of a hearse
Driving through the tombstones alone

I'm going to the city with my Soul in my pocket
I'm gonna find out who I am
There's a revolution and no one can stop it
But I'll do the best I can

I got my Soul loaded and ready to fire
Say goodbye to your best friend
She tried her best to quiet my desire
But I loaded it up again

So as I get to the city of blackened streets
I'm gonna paint them red
With my Soul in my hand and two sturdy feet
I put a bullet that woman's head

I used to sing to the morning but it's at the end of the day
I used to sing to the mountains but they all washed away
I think of the lessons I've learned along the way
When my memory fails, they'll all slip away

I had a dream but the morning came to pass
Clouded up my mind with nothing but the past
When you've fallen in love, you'll always remember that
When you fall out, you feel like you'll never get it back

I played to the millions all with empty eyes
I played to a friend who sat and cried
All is forgiven with a kiss and a sigh
When the realization hits that life passes by

I cared enough but it only brought me down
As long as I'm alive, I'll always be around
Send me requests and I'll carry them out
I'll be your friend until all your lights go down

I greet myself every morning
Try to convince myself that bad complexion's kinda charming
Maybe youth is never-ending
Then I see my tax returns are pending
I wish I could promise everlasting
But I've always been told that lying is a bad thing
I'd like to do this
Maybe forever
But only if me and my lover stay together

I was conceived in a kitchen
And it became the place my childhood was murdered in
I fell asleep at the movies
Somehow the sounds of violence really soothe me
I smoked a dozen
Hacked my way to a suicidal buzz again
I'd like to do this
Maybe forever
But only if me and my family stay together

I gave a prophet my number
She sent it to the clouds and now I'm going under
Am I the only me?
Or am I a product of genetic destiny?
It doesn't matter
Happiness is measured in love and laughter
I'd like to do this
Maybe forever
But only if me and my friends stay together

Every now and then I gotta sweep the floor
Carry out requests like a common *****
But I do it / I'm pushing through it
It's who I am

They tell me not to listen to the men in suits
But after the sermon they lie to you
I'm not easy / you'd best believe me
It's who I am

I've gotta find a woman or at least a man
Love is only accepted if you've got a plan
I'm indecisive / it's the way I live
It's who I am

Maybe when you're wealthy we'll become friends
Because money's never caused a connection to end
But can I borrow / a few tomorrows?
It's who I am

I drive to wherever the world ends
I doubt I'll ever see any of you again
But I love you / I'm thinking of you
It's who I am

I wrote you a song
It's sweet and it won't take long
I hope it makes you smile
I'm glad you let me stay awhile

You're my mother and friend
I'll always want to see you again
You didn't just give me life
You gave me a reason to fight

You and I will always be
Together at heart, you'll see
When I'm away from home
You'll never truly be alone

So I wrote you a song
It's sweet and it won't take long
Just to put a smile on your face
One I'll never replace
