BETTER OFF TED

Photographs, memories and thoughts.

Pageloads:


Scarecrow

She wakes frozen
Heartbreak, roses
You vow never to go back there again
Loose lips, bullseye
Go dance tonight
Alright, I’ll invite myself to stay
1, 2 before you feel the floor inside spinning out from under your bed
Don’t think, forget
Your face
Reject all night
Loneliness can be so serene

Like your cheap philosophy
I’m just living in a dream
Like a scarecrow in the sea
I’m just living out my dreams
I’m just living in a dream

Ripped jeans, lipstick
Don’t pay for it, it’s fine
I know what you cam here to see
Light’s out, lay down
Don’t make a sound
This town is draining all the life out of me
Open window
Away you go
You know who you never made it to see
Discord
Goodbyes
Fade out supplies I find
Everyone is looking at me

Like your cheap philosophy
I’m just living in a dream
Like a scarecrow in the sea
I’m just living out my dreams
Throw another book at me
I’m still living in a dream
Like a scarecrow in the sea
I’m just living out my dreams
I’m just living in a dream

So Strange (‘09 Remix)

Hey don’t fade
I’m amazed at how the day goes by
While waiting just to point my eyes at you
So strange
How my sealed up secrets stashed inside
Sent several lengthy messages to you
In song
Will you brush them off so senselessly
Or lie awake at night hoping it’s true
I’m yours
If you study all the frequencies
My heart will let yours contact me

All we ever do is take up space
I don’t want to race
I just want to spend my time with you
If all we ever do is make mistakes
I don’t want to wait
I just want to spend my time with you

I have made an intricate grid of contact times
To monitor the thoughts I’ve bound to you
Today
While the only clouds are in my mind
These arms are always open wide for you
In time
With the riddles that pour from my face
My broken mind just needs a taste of you
So calm
Now I never meant to slip away
Another inch for everyday

The Bridges of Providence County 

The Bridges of Providence County - Originally released through Cozy Music in 2007 as the title track to my debut EP. I have since cleaned it up a little bit and remastered it slightly. 

Look on the floor for a club and a seven of spades
I’ve been climbing this staircase for days
For a mirror that won’t show my face
For a woman who…
Can’t find the door or a way to get out of this maze
I’ve been searching this hallway for days
Only when I can see how it pays to be me will I turn back
And throw it all away again

I’ve burnt all my bridges to jump off
Now I need a place to stay
Hiding behind my window pane

Looking for more
Always walking in figure of eights
Now my feet never know where to stay
The way you look at me
How I must seem to be
You say “I’m only human” but I won’t be here for long
I’ve burnt all my bridges to jump off

I’ve burnt all my bridges to jump off
Now I need a place to stay
Hiding behind my window pane

Looking for sgnals in the dark
Playing the blues on a stolen guitar
I’ve taken apathy too far
