Righteous

I'm not righteous enough for you, baby
'Cause for all your faults, you're honest, and that's better than me
I knew if I told you the truth you'd leave
I'm not righteous enough for you, baby
I'm not righteous enough for you, sweetheart
I was typecast as the villain and you know I played my part
You saw my evil nature at the start
I'm not righteous enough for you, sweetheart
I'm a fortunate one with unfortunate ways
Overspending my time, wasting my days
On fleeting pleasures that are never as good as they seem
Can we pretend this was all just a dream?
'Cause I'm not righteous enough for you my sweet
Only a wretched soul would lie and cheat
But how much longer must I grovel at your feet?
Cause I'm not righteous enough for you my sweet

Fits and Starts

Sit down, get back up again
Persistence is your best bet
'Cause you fell and you fall and you're falling
But you're not dead yet
You just move in fits and starts
And get wrapped up in broken hearts
Punch to the gut again
The body tightens and releases
Well you broke and you break and you're breaking
But you haven't lost the pieces
You just move in fits and starts
And get wrapped up in broken hearts
And it's okay
that you move that way
'Cause you're a work of art
no matter how many times you stop and start
That critic in your head again
Well, he keeps on making commentary
Well, he spoke and he speaks and he's speaking
But listening isn't necessary

Rock After Rock

I'm hungry for California
And my mind is on an island
But here I've been on the wrong coast for 8 long years
Not exactly what I planned
Adulthood gets away from you; the path it gets away from you
My stomach is heavy
Heavy with all my transgressions
But here I am in the house that I built
The sabotage and the obsessions
Adulthood gets away from you; the path it gets away from you
Falling into the same patterns and mistakes
Throwing rock after rock and then the window breaks
Do I tread the edge or cross that thin line?
The choice is mine
I'm thirsty for my salvation
Tried to find it in a stranger's face
I'm seeking god
But I didn't find her in this place

Desire

Quick distraction, temporary healing
Erase the bigger picture with a good, good feeling
Desire, desire, desire: the danger of desire
Who will save me from myself?
So many hours gone to waste
The hungry ego looking for a little taste
Desire, desire, desire: the danger of desire
Who will save me from myself?
Oh, are you falling?
I guarantee I'm falling faster
Self-inflicted wound, ready-made disaster
Desire, desire, desire: the danger of desire
Who will save me from myself?
Filling bottomless holes with counterfeit bliss
Always thinking, god, there must be more to life than this
Desire, desire, desire: the danger of desire
Who will save me from myself?
