If All Colors At Once’s debut album was Saturday Night Music, their follow-up Self Inflicted takes a more ‘Morning After’ approach.
Merry go Round
I do what I do and don’t always know why
I try to tell myself I got a handle and I’ll be just fine
But as I watch the days spin by I’m not in control
I want to stop I know that I can but I know that I won’t
Chorus
I feel like a child that’s lost With no sense of home
I gota get back to the thing I love but I don’t know how
Just when I think I’m almost there I’m not even close
I feel a storm rise from the heat and I can’t say no
Chorus
I think about the things That I should have been
I think about my wasted youth And time Passes by
I carry this prison with me Wherever I go
Seems like I been here before I just can’t let go
Hide LyricsGet Out
I look around I see an Ocean
I’d like to think you would agree
You see it’s packed like a potion
That’s only given to the free
The problem is it’s just a notion
And no time to be free
Looks like you’ve found a lover
Got a kiss and a way to calm your fears
Don’t make the same mistakes that I did
You’ll wind up in a bed of tears
You think you’ve found a solution
To the game of love and how it’s played
Truth is love ain’t a game now
Least ways not one you can win
Hide LyricsLittle Fishing Girl
I could head on down
Or I could stay here, but I would need all of you
I sit here alone
Like flowers on a tomb, I sit here and wait for you
You’re always saying
We could have fun at the beach
Or maybe we could hit that lake up north
Chorus
Crazy Little Fishin Girl
Knee deep in hot water
Got to get one more, before the sun goes down
I’ve been struggling
With this song for years
guess it’s time to turn the page
Your beautiful mind
Your love of all things
I bet you can’t wait till summer comes back
Chorus
Crazy Little Fishin Girl
Knee deep in hot water
Got to get one more, before the sun goes down
It’s been like hell missing your smile
I know you’ll come back some rainy day
I’ll run till I drop and fall on the floor
I can only think of one remedy
I’ll sit by the lake and throw out a line
I’ll think of you and your crazy ways
Crazy Little Fishin Girl
Knee deep in hot water
Got to get one more, before the sun goes down
Hide LyricsSome Other Time
I don’t have any worries
I don’t worry about today
I’ll worry about tomorrow when its gone away Hell yea
I don’t have any trouble
No trouble in my mind
I don’t see a problem spinning round behind No child
I got a pretty woman
Gonna take her home
Gonna watch the sun go down and watch it rise again Amen
I’ll tell her the truth some other time
A whisper in the city A whisper in my heart
I wasn’t suppose to end this way
But you knew it from the start hell yea
Can you explain to me all the mysteries of life
Cuz I don’t have tn answer leastways not today No child
I’d like to get a freight train
Runnin’ straight away
Just like the old days I’d been on my way Amen
And I’d tell her the truth
I hope that when I leave ya Hell yea
I leave ya with a smile
Leave you with a chunk of gold that would choke a dinosaur
Headed towards the heavens
Head on for the line
Head on over yonder go nothing on my mind Oh child
I saw in the morning
I saw her by the gate
I said we’ll live forever Heaven can wait Amen
Hide LyricsTired of Everything
I’ve been thinking about the world
And how it is today
And I don’t know that it’s much different
Then it was before
Sure it’s changed and we know better
But we still can’t get along
Maybe I should hide my head
Down deeper in the sand
I’m tired of everything because no one seems ashamed
I’m tired of everything because no one takes the blame
I’m tired of everything I’m tired of everything
War and greed and politicians
What the hell went wrong?
They all say they’re for the people
Same old silly song
If money is the root of evil
We don’t stand a chance
Power hungry civil servants you can kiss my ass.
I’m tired of everything because no one seems ashamed
I’m tired of everything because no one takes the blame
I’m tired of everything I’m tired of everything
I’m no better I’m no different
And I don’t have a plan
I was hoping that you’d take me
To the Promised Land
I have given all my strength up
To try and take a stand
All the words that I can think of
Have been said before
I’m tired of everything because no one seems ashamed
I’m tired of everything because no one takes the blame
I’m tired of everything I’m tired of everything
Hide LyricsNow That Your Gone
Now That Your Gone ………………I don’t have to think About you
Every minute of the day
Now That Your Gone ………………I don’t wait to hear you whisper
My name all soft and sweet
Now That Your Gone ………………The scent of Lavender Has Faded
All my Dreams have faded too
Now That Your Gone ………………I’m not starring out at nothing
Waiting for the telephone to ring
Now That Your Gone ………………I don’t lie awake and wonder
When I’ll hold you in my arms
Now That Your Gone ………………All I have is your memory
To wake me up at 2 AM
Now That Your Gone ………………There’s no one to share the sunrise
No one to love the crescent moon
Now That Your Gone ………………I can’t stop my heart from breakin
I can’t stop the tears that fall
Now That Your Gone ………………Every day seems forever
And every night’s and endless road
Hide LyricsNo Rain
My mother use to say that
The rain will wash it clean
No matter what went wrong
In the world that you’d seen
Those were simpler times I guess
But I still know what she means
The world could use a good bath ya
A good scrub in down
But there’s no rain insight
In the late evening
I’ve heard them cry
I’ve seen them on my tv
I’ve watched them lie
There is no easy answer
That you can give
It’s always about the money
And how it’s all dryin up
But there’s no rain insight
I had a dream last night
It was the end of the world
There was the usual fallout
Dust blowin round
Nuclear war heads shining
Against a dark and blood red sky
As everybody gathered
To say their last goodbyes
There was No rain insight
Hide LyricsI’d Give It all
I’d give it all for you
I’d do what you need me to
I’ give my eyes for you
I’d give my heart and then my soul
I’d give it all you
I know there’s no way to leave
You follow me if I did
I feel so trapped in my small little world
Chorus
I give it all for you
It’s not like I have a choice
These days it seems you’ve stolen my voice
I’d give it all for you
I’d break the sentimental chains
The ones that hold me to the past
We could run from these walls We could run so fast
I’d give it all for you
There is no whiskey glass
Big enough to hold the pain
I know you put me down I just don’t know why
I’d give it all for you
Some days I think it all was a lie
Those are the days I sit here and cry
I’d give it all for you
Hide LyricsSelfinflicted
I’ve been down a hundred miles or more
I know the low man on the totempole
I look around and I wonder why
The things I love make you want to cry
So confusing, So conflicting, Selfinflicted thats what Isaid
It’s all anybody talks about
It’s all anybody thinks about
It’s all anybody really knows about
It’s just like a fever goin round
You think that your so smart
Get your ass over here and show me the way
You’ve got all the answers
To all the questions you think
So confusing, So conflicting, Selfinflicted thats what Isaid
It’s all anybody talks about
It’s all anybody thinks about
It’s all anybody really knows about
It’s just like a fever goin round
I’m so damn elated
I made it over the hill
Yet I’m so damn frustrated
Part of me’s back there still
So confusing, So conflicting, Selfinflicted thats what Isaid
It’s all anybody talks about
It’s all anybody thinks about
It’s all anybody really knows about
It’s just like a fever goin round
Say goodbye to the old days
Say hello to the new
You may never find normal
No matter what you do
So confusing, So conflicting, Selfinflicted thats what Isaid
It’s all anybody talks about
It’s all anybody thinks about
It’s all anybody really knows about
It’s just like a fever goin round
Hide LyricsMarylin
If all I do is annoy you baby
Why do you keep me around
All I do is I love you honey
When you walk by I kiss the ground
CH…What I think of is you at night
What I think of is you in the morning light
Marylin Marylin
It’s easy once you know how honey
Just call me if you forget
Fallin in love is easy baby
It’s the fallin out that you’ll regret
CH
I’ve been thinkin of leavin you
Walkin right out the door
With out you I ain’t nothin honey
So I keep coming back for more
Hide LyricsFor A Penny
Comes a time in your life
You come to grips with what’s gone wrong
You can’t stand up for falling down
All you want is one sweet kiss
But you can’t get back the kiss you sold
For a penny my heart for a penny my love for a penny
Time rolls on it moves ahead
Forget the past it weighs like lead
It’s pleasing when your path is true
But it’s not so clear when your path …….
And I’d still give it all up for you
For a penny my heart for a penny my love for a penny
Say good bye one last time
It’s all you get the dying’s done
You can’t go back back in time
And kiss the kiss you want to kiss
And you can’t buy back the things you sold
For a penny my heart for a penny my love for a penny
