Accidental Superhero - Sweet Castaway

sweet, sweet castaway
don't need the love but you can't stay away
so, so lonely
can you forget it or are you just like me
never meant that much to me
lost in a world that only i knew
said you'd like to set me free
but i never really wanted to be
never meant that much to me
still i only ever think about you
said you'd like to set me free
right now you're all i really need
i'm sorry if i don't care
i'm sorry for what you think
i'm sorry for feeling good
i'm sorry for you
i said it, i said it, i meant it, i meant it
i feel like i gave you time to vent it
i couldn't prevent it, you just sat
as she stole your thoughts away
i want a beginning with no certain feeling
centered on another time with no one interfering
i miss it, i need it, i feel it fade away
i'm sorry if i don't care
i'm sorry for what you think
i'm sorry for feeling good
i'm sorry for you
never meant that much to me
lost in a world that only i knew
said you'd like to set me free
but i never really wanted to be
never meant that much to me
still i only ever think about you
said you'd like to set me free
right now you're all i really need
i'm sorry if i don't care
i'm sorry for what you think
i'm sorry for feeling good
i'm sorry for you
can't lift my feet from the ground lately
can't feel nothing but the sound
don't stop moving around, face me
please, please keep me around

Accidental Superhero - Stand Up

i need a sedative
but i don't need what you give
i don't see how you're so divine
i don't see how you live
reform you sanity before you come to me
or i'll just say goodbye
there is no guarantee of what you mean to me
stop, stop asking me why
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
it's all so relative
but it's all that i can give
i don't seem to ever mind but it comes time after time
so long to sanity, ever since you came to me
but you always come to mind
if we will ever be what we used to be
you'll have to take what you find
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
better believe what you see
i gave you ground on me
better that you try to prove
you only get what you give
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound

Accidental Superhero - Way Down

stop me on the way down
stop me on the way down
can't stand my ground with you
reach up or drown for you
would have liked to known what to do
feel like i've blown it with you
stop me on the way down
stop me on the way down
can't stop to lie for you
won't stand this strife from you
could have loved the things that i do
can't spend my time waiting for you
stop me on the way down
stop me on the way down
back up give up or funk the fight
lock the door give up and hit the lights
stop me on the way down
stop me on the way down

Accidental Superhero - Miss You Like Crazy

i heard you on the radio
i don't know what to say to you
so i thought i'd come up to the bedroom
but i tripped on your straw broom
failed to circumvent the event that made it so
stayed up for the video
the one on our favorite show
dropped your hands as the lights went down
and the air left my lips without a sound
i miss you like crazy
don't want to be alone anymore
don't want to be alone
i thought of nothing else but you
and it looks like he did too
saw the trap of the cult of that
that makes me do what i don't want to
and now it's up to you
whatever you want to do
saw you hands pretend to despair
and your mouth looked like it cared for something new
i miss you like crazy
don't want to be alone anymore
don't want to be alone
make up your mind
make up your mind
now it's up to you
i miss you like crazy
don't want to be alone anymore
don't want to be alone

Accidental Superhero - Let Me Be Free

tick-tock, i saw the clock
but you felt so good that i couldn't stop
and all along i thought it was wrong
'til you sang a new song and you came along
with those eyes you could hypnotize
i reached for you but was paralyzed
i thought i sank down deep enough
but i couldn't quite love you off the cuff
so i thought i'd stop to talk the talk or
walk the walk to find a way to stick around
all a sudden you had your grasp
i lost my breath and hit the ground
pound round for round, i tried to stand
felt your breath and touched your hand
man, i reminisce the kiss i miss
don't know if i can handle this
let me be free
it used to be i'd walk a mile
to taste your laugh and see you smile
now all that's left is circumstance
with cheap perfume and cheap romance
still i knew that i would feel
all wrapped up tight in your little pill
chewed up, spat out, walked upon
tried to drink the cup but your grace was gone
ten past ten i tried again
to unlock the door and let you in
when like a draft you crept within
blew up, blown up, like the wind chill
factor, faster than i could
if i knew you weren't gonna love me then i
never would have gone inside your heart
where lies abide, and tried to stay alive
let me be free
woke up at the break of dawn
you locked me in and you were gone
woke up at the break of dawn
i should've seen it coming, all along
let me be free

Accidental Superhero - Lay Down Your Head

lay down your head
it's not as bad as it seems to be
come to my bed
hand over all of your grief to me
and scream so sweetly as you're losing all your ground
and fall so neatly as it all comes crashing down
feel it wash away
save it for another day
don't just let yourself fall
feel it wash away
don't give in 'til one more day
nobody can tell you what's wrong
now hold your breath
whisper your secret dreams to me
clutch it to your chest
forget your fears and just let it be
and fight so fiercely as you find your piece of mind
and come so quickly as you leave it all behind
feel it wash away
save it for another day
don't just let yourself fall
feel it wash away
don't give in 'til one more day
nobody can tell you what's wrong
feel it wash away
save it for another day
don't just let yourself fall
feel it wash away
don't give in 'til one more day
nobody can tell you what's wrong

Accidental Superhero - Hurt Me Badly

i entertain all the pain
saw the hope wash down the drain - it's nothing
it's not the flame that burns insane
i slipped up, messed up when you i blamed
don't sign for sorrow, i'll keep the heart i borrowed
from somebody else
hurt me badly
i don't feel it anymore
sell me cheaply
just like everyone before
i don't remiss the things unfixed
i sank to deep and left, unmixed
it's not the song you used to sing
it's simply unfelt trite you bring
don't fight tomorrow
it'll crush the heart that's hollow
despite how we felt
hurt me badly
i don't feel it anymore
sell me cheaply
just like everyone before
hurt me badly
i don't feel it anymore
sell me cheaply
just like everyone before

Accidental Superhero - Hold On

hold on forever, or at least today
don't follow me, i'm blind
now you're forsaken, thought you'd never be
don't forget that you're mine
i seem torn along the path
to decide for the better or blow like a draft
slightly twisted as you listed all my faults
trapped in the vaults of the hard stone
of your heart felt sympathy that you lent to me
slowly revisited with unlimited sanity
feelings of an overblown scheme
hold on forever, or at least today
don't follow me, i'm blind
now you're forsaken, thought you'd never be
don't forget that you're mine
with you, i flourished
love being malnourished
under the cover of a lovers flame
slipped down like the winded needy
forced down like the money greedy
slowly, fundamentally,
followed the epitome of your wasted way
silently, violently, stroked as the bellows blew up
the heat of the extreme shame
hold on forever, or at least today
don't follow me, i'm blind
now you're forsaken, thought you'd never be
don't forget that you're mine
don't forget that you're mine
hold on forever, or at least today
don't follow me, i'm blind
now you're forsaken, thought you'd never be
don't forget that you're mine

Accidental Superhero - 14 Miles

fourteen miles 'til i break you down
time to realize i can make you frown
my soul is free so step up on it
to see past the faded sign
can't stop the tide, it flows
(can't stop the pain inside,
can't stop to make it hide,
can't stop to open wide, never mind)
can't stop the pain inside
up to now it's been irrelevant
brought back to life through your dreamt up event
with your sad eyes, you sent me on my way
dreamt as you lied that it's ok
can't stop the tide, it flows
(can't stop the pain inside,
can't stop to make it hide,
can't stop to open wide, never mind)
can't stop the pain inside
fourteen miles 'til i break you down
time to realize i can make you frown
my soul is free so step up on it
to see past the faded sign
can't stop the tide, it flows
(can't stop the pain inside,
can't stop to make it hide,
can't stop to open wide, never mind)
can't stop the pain inside

Accidental Superhero - Widow

all my time i spent
the widow said as she bent
giving what meant everything
and all my company
are memories whispering
down by the forest
down by the forest
all the time in the world
is yours, she said as she went
with her thoughts on her dreams
i hardly knew you
yet i packed all i valued
and followed like
dust in the wind
can you give me sanctuary
when the babbling brook
runs dry?
can you give me understanding
when there's nothing left
to try?
what about your brothers
and all you had for lovers?
did they blow away like candles
in the night?
i saw you begging
on the day of the wedding
she don't wander by herself
where are
your sons and your daughters?
can you give me sanctuary
when the babbling brook
runs dry?
can you give me understanding
when there's nothing left
to try?
all my time i spent
the widow said as she bent
giving what meant everything
and all my company are
memories whispering
down by the forest
down by the forest
down by the forest

Accidental Superhero - Where I Stand

i've got an accidental superhero
who arrives on cue
and he says why don't i save you
why don't i rescue you
my maverick wine here
has got to be the notion
my maverick wine here
has got to be the potion
and i laughed as she walked away
cuz' i knew there would be
no more days of lying or
crying at all
as she turned
as she walked away
her eyes looked through me
as they seemed to say
come my way
come my way
come my way, come my way
you no longer need to stay away
come my way, come my way
and she moves like a dove,
but i get this feeling that
she's circling above, and she's
waiting... and she's waiting
for me to pass away
pass away
pass away, pass away
you no longer need to stay away
pass away, pass away
and they know where i stand
and i stand alone
and now i'm waiting, waiting
for you to call me home
call me home, call me home
you no longer need to stay and roam
call me home, call me home
call me home

Accidental Superhero - Useless

understand this i
never hoped, never felt dealt
the way i should have been
under the stars of good
i cannot hope, cannot feel
cannot cope, cannot deal
through this preemptive strife
life
i will not die
i'll shed my skin
all the blood was spilt
from innocence
and i pray and i beg
don't find me so useless
so useless
understanding through
all the views you seem to prove
new waves of jealosy
from a newborn sea
wade the wake, wade the mire
from down 'til the steeple spire
forever life seems to be
a little eternity
i will not die
i'll shed my skin
all the blood was spilt
from innocence
and i pray and i beg
don't find me so useless
so useless
and i pray and i beg
don't find me so useless
so useless
i will not die
i'll shed my skin
all the blood was spilt
from innocence
and i pray and i beg
don't find me so useless
so useless

Accidental Superhero - Superhero Brainiac

i saw the light as it shone
you grabbed my soul as it moaned
we were standing alone
we left well enough alone but it
turned around and followed us home
there was nothing easy to say
i need a change
i want something new
take me the same way
i took you
i saw the light as it shone
you grabbed my soul as it moaned
it was never something
i wanted to throw away
then the wheeze from the
serpent drivers grabbed a hold
through the different guises
drying out, weeping eyes
of sanity
i need a change
i want something new
take me the same way
i took you
i need a change
i want something new
take me the same way
i took you
i would've got away with it
if it wasn't for you
meddling kids

Accidental Superhero - Seven

in a moment he steps away
and the grin on her lips
fades away
and the silence
to her is golden
as the plan that she makes
out of fear
a sixpence of holdings
leaves her wallowing
and her thoughts plead
today is the day
but the strain on her needs
is what's strangling
not needed, not wanted,
not dear
it's not enough,
no not enough at all
not at all
it's long enough
she says, to fall
long to fall
travel down her frown
to find the thoughts of
love pondering
justifyingly covering
the weak
her Galahad has
just been wandering
perhaps the steel
softens his fall
but we all see
his fists rendering
against his will
and back again
no longer just a
bad day simmering
it's not enough
no not enough at all
not at all
it's long enough
she says, to fall
long to fall
so she lands and he smiles
it's over for awhile
and the grasp of his love
leaves her gasping for air
for air

Accidental Superhero - Sometimes

i got your message
it screamed aloud
your dancing and your singing
gave it a shroud
we all may have laughed
as they dragged us down
now all the clear is mundane
with a broken, crooked crown
sometimes
i don't feel your love
sometimes
i can only hope to stay alive
sometimes
you come and take me away
i feel like the chatter
cleared my head
but always your ways
left me better off for dead
the chance of reason shook
away the way
now all is a sunday
for a man who's lost his way
sometimes
i don't feel your love
sometimes
i can only hope to stay alive
sometimes
you come and take me away
don't lean back too far
as the colors fade to gray
don't breathe in too much
or the weight will blow you away
do you give a little in?
all that's left is sometimes right
your happiness danced away
far away...
to the distance in the twilight
sometimes
i don't feel your love
sometimes
i can only hope to stay alive
sometimes
you come and take me away

Accidental Superhero - Never

you never want to stand
you never want to free fall
you never want to rise
you never want to walk
you never will fly
you never saw the way
you never ask the giver
you never took a chance
you never did ask
you played your own game
i stood quietly
i believe, i believe
and it still won't free me
from his arms you cannot see
it's too late, it's too late,
it's too late
you never want to run
you never want to fight back
you never want to move
you never want to stick
you never want to try
you never want to climb
you never want to reach it
it's just out of sight
you say you've got rights
and you think you're the same
i stood quietly
i believe, i believe
but it still won't free me
from his arms you cannot see
it's too late, it's too late,
it's too late
i stood quietly
i believe, i believe
it still won't free me
from his arms i cannot see
it's too late, it's too late,
it's too late

Accidental Superhero - Minoleum

are you weary
do you no longer lay down
winter comes slowly
to reach me through the down
save me
i cannot save myself
vaguely
i don't remember how
drop down my deary
to reach me where I fall
you never did know me
or care at, care at all
so i did a little dance
as you walked away
and you smiled at me
and you smiled through me
and you smiled, smiled
and innocently
looked away
save me
i cannot save myself
vaguely
i don't remember how
save me
i cannot save myself
vaguely
i don't remember how
save me
save me

Accidental Superhero - So Easy

many times i forgot, I'd simply wait for my lot
angelic i thought you to be so much for what you think of me
smile as you really frown, then grin as you look around
flip-flopped it all upside down
you may not be lost but i'm still not found
it's so easy to forget what we had
it's so easy but so sad, sad
it's so easy to wave goodbye
so easy but don't cry
it's not as simple as i thought
time for me to pay what i brought
never really could make it last
you looked better as we passed
lie as you swear the truth
and laugh as you try to prove
can't stop your hypocrisy
you may be blind but i still can't see
it's so easy to forget what we had
it's so easy but so sad, sad
it's so easy to wave goodbye
so easy but don't cry
feel the time slip away
don't have another day
i'm tired of the battles fought
stepped down from ideas i thought
never wanted another enemy
you're a jacked up fantasy
spin as you're standing still
then fall to the ground astounded
tip-toed all around your speech
you still might fall but i still won't reach.
it's so easy to forget what we had
it's so easy but so sad, sad
it's so easy to wave goodbye
so easy but don't cry

Accidental Superhero - Mary

you can't tell me
anything at all
all your knowing
will never stand, it'll fall
but i've tried you see
and it's time to move along
you can't poison me
if i'm never here at all
you don't know mary
she's never bothered you
you don't know mary
she's turned her back on you
so much that's said
has fallen on deaf ears
you don't know how far
inside the darkness spread
but the truth, it lied
as it wandered to your soul
she don't know about knowing
you need to let her go
you don't know mary
she's never bothered you
you don't know mary
she's turned her back on you
she won't be held down
she won't be around long
she's gone of to wander
you don't know mary
she's never bothered you
you don't know mary
she's turned her back on you

Accidental Superhero - Jade

i knew the way to get her
was to let her know
that i didn't want her
don't let it show
i knew i could not stop her
her mind was slow
she hoped i couldn't see her
when her tears would flow
now she's long gone
does she know the way
maybe she's wrong
but she likes the jade
and the walls of berlin
couldn't stand the hate
her walls are iron
and i cannot wait
now she's long gone
does she know the way
i know she's wrong
but she likes the jade
now to say i'm sorry
for my heart that's free
is to live in a silence
that's killing me
now to say i'm sorry
for my heart that's free
is to live in a prison
just you and me
