August
The first I heard of y’all
So much affection
Exchange of compliments and common points of view
Then,
I heard her through the wall
Asking “is this for real?”
Now it’s impossible to talk
I moved away that fall
Life changed direction
The years went flashing past and sent me back towards you
Then,
I heard her through the wall
Asking “why is he here?”
Now it’s impossible to talk
The next I heard of y’all
Change of inflection
And lack of empathy towards what it is I do
Then,
I heard her through the wall
Saying that fish can’t feel
Now it’s impossible to talk
August
I’ll never learn to make you stay
And every time you run away
I’ll come right after you
Don’t make me wait til next year
When I’m not around
Don’t make me wait til next year comes
The last I heard of y’all
Was no exception
Poisoned the atmosphere for everyone but you
I heard her through the wall
Saying that fish can’t feel
Now it’s impossible to talk
August
I’ll never learn to make you stay
And every time you run away
I’ll come right after you

Forty Fourz
Don’t want to have to die before I learn to live
Don’t want to lead a life that takes more than it gives
Escaped my station between survival and greed
Don’t want to need an end to justify my means
I’ve got to find a way
And now I’ve realized the past does not exist
I’m no longer suffering
No more will I resist
And no one has to do this for me
So I’ve got to find a way
And no one has to do this for me
So I’ve got to find a way
Don’t want to have to die before I learn to live

I need a moment to think
I need a second to fix myself
Aw baby
I swear I won’t even blink
Don’t want you saying I hurt myself
Aw Baby
I told you everything I know
Now can I go home?
Tonight does not have to be special
No, no
Don’t even gotta believe
You’re not the one I would ask for help
Naw Baby
You see what you want to see
I only wish it was someone else
Aw Baby
I told you everything I know
Now can I go home?
Tonight does not have to be special
No, no
If I give you everything I own
Can I go home?
Tonight does not have to be special
No, no, no, no
I need a moment to think
I told you everything I know
Now can I go home?
Tonight does not have to be special
No, no
If I give you everything I own
Can I go home?
Tonight does not have to be special

Berlin
If you don’t turn me on
Then you won’t ever turn me off
There is no right or wrong
Where there’s only profit and loss
I will not need a second chance to make the same mistake
If you don’t lift me up
Then you won’t ever let me down
I’ve heard the way you talk
When there’s nobody else around
I will not need a second chance to make the same mistake
As long as you don’t understand how much you need to break
I will not need a second chance to make the same mistake
As long as you don’t understand how much of me you break

Ken & Kenny
Bring your camera down
And let me show you how it’s done
Get the hammer down
Get paid
And get back on the run
Everyone around will know the truth when Sunday comes
There’s no use in telling me
No, I won’t listen
Common sense ain’t stopping me
I’m on a mission
Fourteen thousand pounds
Strapped down
Bright yellow rocket car
Close ups on the ramp
And helicopter from afar
Once we’re in the air
It’s clear survival is an art
Stuntmen never die
At least not from a broken heart
There’s no use in telling me
No, I won’t listen
Common sense ain’t stopping me
I’m on a mission
Yeah!

Huah!
If you’re the one that makes the rules
And then you break the rules
I fucking hate the rules
I’m talking about
Your plastic platinum plated jewels
Might placate the fools
But I don’t need that shit in my life
I don’t believe a single word
You know I don’t believe the things I’ve heard
I fucking don’t believe a single word from you
Not you
It’s nothing personal it’s business
All that this is
Your excuse
Shit
Matter of fact
Better go take a look and get back to me
You’re so wack to me
Your trajectory
The shit factory
And it’s a tragedy
I don’t believe a single word
You know I don’t believe the things I’ve heard
I fucking don’t believe a single word from you
Not you
Don’t have the nerve to look me in the eyes
But still tell lie after lie after lie
(guitar solo)
I don’t believe a single word
You know I don’t believe the things I’ve heard
I fucking don’t believe a single word from you
Not you

No Room Left For Doubt
Not gonna worry anymore
Not in a hurry anymore
I just watch it all play out
Then there will be no room left for doubt
Not gonna hustle anymore
Not when my muscles are so sore
I just watch it all play out
Then there will be no room left for doubt

One of these days
I’ll do all the things I say
And when I try
Don’t give me that shit
One of these days
Things are gonna go my way
And in that time
Don’t give me that shit
One of these days
Say what I’m thinking and think what I’m saying
And everything’s gonna be okay
In that time
Don’t give me that shit
When I try
Don’t give me that shit
And when I try
Don’t give me that shit

It’s Okay Not To Be Okay
Hold your fire
Cause we both want the same things
And when enough days go by
You’ll know what it means
You’ll have tried
To be uncompromising
But it never seems to get you where you need to be
Open eyes
And a certain kind of sting
Got you heavy hearted
It weighs too much
Cause it feels everything
Getting tired
Of waiting in the wings
When it all keeps moving
It won’t stop moving
And all I want to hear is
It’s okay not to be okay
Take all the time you need
One day will be better
But right now is not that time
I’m not going anywhere
I won’t leave you behind
No I won’t, I won’t
No I won’t, I won’t
It’s okay not to be okay
Take all the time you need
One day will be better
But right now is not that time
I’m not going anywhere
I won’t leave you behind
If you don’t have the words to say
Well you’re still alright with me
One day will be better
But right now is not that time
I’m not going anywhere
I won’t leave you behind

Three Times
We swam so far
Against the tide
We should have made a plan
Made a plan
To not lose sight of land, no
Ah!
Please don’t let go of my hand
Cause I might sink to the bottom again
My only crime
Is one lost mind
Well
You know I traded it for love, whoa
And stars that shine above
Oh!
Please don’t let go of my hand
Cause I might sink to the bottom again
Promise not to say goodbye

Fires
After the fire burnt down our home
A storm it came washed everything away
I found a friend in the mirror
After the liars
They sold us hope
Then the thieves
They took it all away
I saw him clearer
He was happy just to see another day
He was happy to be here another day
He was happy he could smile
After feeling so much pain
I spoke a lot but didn’t say much
Old memories kept getting in the way
I lost my friend in the mirror
Can’t believe I’ve been so out of touch
Like enemies
I let him slip away
I need my friend in the mirror
He was happy just to see another day
He was happy to be here another day
He was happy he could smile
After feeling so much pain
Time may break my brittle skin and bone
Life may take my everything away
But I know the face in the mirror
This heavy heart is all I’ve ever known
But it’s love is greater than it’s weight
I can see myself now
And I’m happy just to see another day
Now I’m happy just to live another day
And I’m happy I can smile
After feeling so much pain

Auto Reverse Or Rewind
by Ashley Mendel
supported by 4 fans who also own “Powerful Buttcheeks”
Knowing how good 'Sorry to Say' is, I bought this album without listening to it, I was pretty sure I'd love it,and I do! It confirms he's a very good artist and musician, I found the instrumental backgrounds absolutely intreresting, refined and catchy, as well as in the other record. Good Job, can't wait for new stuff!
