[pedro the lion]

album: whole ep
song: lullaby
the sun shines
leaves blow
and my hope like autumn is turning brown
i know it seems like i am always falling down
but it does not matter to me
although it seems like it should
it is because i know i am understood when i hear Him say
rest in me little david
and dry all your tears
you can lay down your armor
and have no fear
cause i'm always here
when you're tired of running
i'm all the strength you need

it's up hill both ways
tomorrow i swear i won't act this way
i know it seems like that is what i always say

you know i want to be like Jesus
but it seems so very far away
when will i learn to obey

album: it's hard to find a friend
song: bad diary days
barely ever fight,she knows that i love her
at first we made it every night, but i don't wanna bug her about it
she just has a funny way of loving me
a pair of ticket stubs in her desk - a movie i've never seen
i probably shouldn't ask - it sounds so accusing
she must have forgotten to mention girl's night out

the breakfast cereal talked more than we did all day long
i asked her for a walk, but she had to be on her way
so i told her that i knew she'd been stepping out

she swore that she could explain
she swore that it would not happen again
she swore that she could explain
we both knew her words were in vain

album: it's hard to find a friend
song: the longest winter
spring comes slowly
to this old friend
still i'm frozen
and still live alone
in time
memories fade
senses numb
one forgets how it feels
to have loved completely

love well young man
while you still can
once your leaves turn
you won't love again

in time
memories fade
senses numb
one forgets how it feels
to have loved completely
completely

is it special when your lonely
when you spend your whole life
in a studio apartment
with a cat for a wife
the seasons when they call you
baracade the doors
are you stubborn
stubborn
stubborn to the core
is it lonely
for the highway
is it your way
or the highway
is it lonely
for the highway
is it lonely
for the highway
then the longest
winter is on her way
you called her without knowing you, but now it's too late

album: it's hard to find a friend
song: suspect fled the scene
old friend
your horse is ready to ride when morning comes
from this church town where damning rumors drip from holy tongues
it won't go away
it won't go away
it won't go away

fever to find the scapegoat fast and fix the blame
i know you never meant to leave the way you came

it won't go away
it won't go away
it won't go away

looking down from that stain glass steeple
they'll never know why you had to run

ride as fast as you can
they're shooting to kill

album: the only reason i feel secure (is that i am validated by my peers)
song: criticism as inspiration
i saw her in the bedroom
the drawers looked empty
looking for answers, but you won't admit it now
you don't need a reason
that's what you tell me
but i still don't buy it, you'll drink yourself silly
night after night
it makes me feel so good to always tell you when you're wrong
the big man that i am to always have to put you down
put you down

and then there's your girlfriend
she opens her legs and gives your life meaning
is that what you love her for

the angels are always looking down
it's perfect without frown
the bully always wins

it makes me feel so good to always tell you when you're wrong
the big man that i am to always have to put you down
it makes me feel so good to always put you in your place
i can write it in a song, but never say it to your face
to your face

album: the only reason i feel secure (is that i am validated by my peers)
song: i am always the one who calls
satellites mediate for us the day's events
through fiber optics
i hope we can change the same
i wouldn't mind, but you are my only hope
i wouldn't mind, but you are my only hope

clear as a bell are the short breaths
that you take when you're distracted
same as the way when you roll your eyes
when i ask too many stupid questions

my faith in zeros and ones to host our romance
rests on hope you gave that
i've some claim to your heart

i wouldn't mind, but you are my only hope
i wouldn't mind, but you are my only hope

clear as a bell are the short breaths
that you take when you're distracted
same as the way when you roll your eyes
when i ask too many stupid questions

i will call you in three weeks
maybe then you'll have some more to say
