See What I See

Do you see what I see?
Can you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Can you see what I see?
I don’t see myself the way I’ll be
I can’t see myself the way I’ll be
(Why don’t you just give up, you’re a failure?
Why don’t you just give up, you’re a failure?)
I don’t see myself the way I’ll be
I can’t see myself the way I’ll be
I don’t see myself the way I’ll be
I don’t see myself, nor do I even see me
Nor can I see see anyone or me
Nor can I see see anyone or me
Do you see what I see?
Can you be what I be?
Do you do what I do?
You’re at the right church, but on the wrong pew
(Why don’t you just give up, you’re a failure?
Why don’t you just give up, you’re a failure?)
You can’t see yourself the way that I can’t
I can’t see myself the way that you can
(Why don’t you just give up, you’re a failure?
Why don’t you just give up, you’re a failure?)
You can be yourself the way the I can’t
I can’t be myself the way that you can
You can be yourself the way the I can’t
I can’t be myself the way that you can
I don’t know myself, nor do I even know me
I don’t know how everyone sees me
No one knows me, so I can’t be me

There's Gotta Be
03:49

She licks another envelope to deliver another letter he’ll never read
So many words left unsaid, could you really say you blame her?
Every night she visits him, umbrella in hand, yeah she never sleeps
Sick of laying next to air, could you really say you blame her?
And so she screams, there’s gotta be (gotta be, gotta be)
And so she screams, there’s gotta be (gotta be, oh, there’s gotta be, gotta be)
He still runs the flower shop, 63 years, every day
Hoping she’ll once return, waiting nearly 32 years
Contemplating retirement, he still keeps his faith
Azaleas were her favorite, but every one he sells, he’ll shed a tear
And so he screams, there’s gotta be (gotta be, oh there’s gotta be, gotta be)
And so he screams, there’s gotta be (gotta be, oh there’s gotta be, gotta be)

I'll Commit Larseny
03:21
|
|||
There’s nothin’ I can change about myself
There’s nothin’ I like about myself
I’m a victim of empty confidence
Exhibit A shows self-hatred evidence
I can’t stand to be alone
By my thoughts I’m always overthrown, so -
I’ll commit Larseny
I’ll commit to Larseny
I’ll commit Larseny, oh
I’ll commit to Larseny
She makes me put away the knife
She makes me realize I can’t have a life
I’m a victim of reasonless depression
Exhibit B shows dependent obsession, and her name is -
I’ll commit Larseny
I’ll commit to Larseny
I’ll commit Larseny, oh
I’ll commit to Larseny
There’s nothin’; there’s nothin’, there’s nothin’!
There’s nothin’ special about myself
Yet she tells me she wants no one else
I would kill to invade her space
If only I could touch her face
But every time she’s inside my dreams
She tries to run, so I gotta chase, oh!!
I’ll commit Larseny
I’ll commit to Larseny
I’ll commit Larseny, oh
I’ll commit to Larseny!!
She gives me protein, I’ll give her protein
I give her protein, she gives me protein
I give her protein, she gives me protein…

A song doesn’t always have to be inspired by a bong
But sometimes it’s a help if you have a little kelp
Killin’ time blowin’ smoke at the ants, now watch them scatter
Give it to me, I want it all, hand it on a silver platter
Elegantly concise, she peaks only in terse
But all I can think of is another verse, chorus, verse
I’ll know whenever I figure it out
But I, myself, still have my doubts
I’m trying to decide if I’m a genius or a moron
But all the intellectuals, they always bore me to a yawn - oh!
Protest against the government, then complain you can’t park
Piss and moan about the sunshine, then sulk when it’s dark
You pretend to like her cooking, and at night, she pretends to cum
Well, it may sound a little cliche, but all we are is fucking scum
You give a bum a dollar, then you shit on them pay day
So go ahead, light your foil, we’re all gonna die someday
I’ll know whenever I figure it out
But I, myself, still have my doubts
I’m trying to decide if I’m a genius or a moron
But all the intellectuals, they always bore me to a yawn - oh…

Rhymes With You
03:41
|
|||
(Oh, keep goin’, keep goin’, keep goin’…)
Runnin’ ‘round blindy, ’til I hear you call my name
When I finally get to you, oh no, what a shame
(Oh, keep goin’, keep goin’, keep goin’…)
Every day seems the same, nothin’s changed, it’s all the same
Standin’ there, by yourself, blamin’ no one but yourself
(Oh, keep goin’, keep goin’, keep goin’…)
Oh, no, oh, maybe it rhymes with you
Oh, no, honey, it rhymes with you
Maybe I should have stopped when I heard you talk
But, I, you, I rhyme with you, oh!
(Oh, keep goin’, keep goin’, keep goin’…)
Runnin’ ‘round blindy, ’til I hear you call my name
When I finally get to you, oh no, what a shame
(Keep goin’, keep goin’, keep goin’…)
Every day seems the same, nothin’s changed, it’s all the same
Standin’ there, by yourself, blamin’ no one but yourself
(Keep goin’, keep goin’, keep goin’…)
Oh, no, oh, maybe it rhymes with you
Oh, no, oh, it rhymes with you
Maybe I should have stopped when I heard you talk
But, I, you, I rhyme with you, oh!
Runnin’ ‘round blindy, ’til I hear you call my name
When I finally get to you, oh no, what a shame
(Keep goin’, keep goin’, keep goin’…)
Every day seems the same, nothin’s changed, it’s all the same
Standin’ there, by yourself, blamin’ no one but yourself
(Keep goin’, keep goin’, keep goin’…)

Find Yourself
03:20
|
|||
Everyone I see, I picture them as you, instead
Try to get my life on track, but your image is burned, in my head
So miserable without you, I’m in the dark all alone
But right now it’s time for you to be on your own
But let me be the one you find when you find yourself
You’re putting me down by leaving me by myself
I’m sacrificing my life until you’re free
And when you’re ready, I pray you’ll open up to me
Candlelit dinners, conversation made me high, touch the sky
You were perfect just the way you were to me, in my eyes
I’m miserable without you, always clutching the phone
I lay in bed soaking wet, where is your tone?
I hope I’ll be the one you fuck after you’ve fucked yourself
You’re wasting all your precious time you give yourself
I’d rather not make your life a living hell
How long do I have to wait, get out of your shell
Oh, so upset
Some say I’m unhealthy, yes I’m obsessed, yeah.

If you make it, I’ll still love you
If you take it, I won’t judge you
If you make it, I’ll still love you
If you make it, I won’t judge you
If you take it, I’ll still love you
If you make it, I won’t judge you
I don’t know how to feel about this
All I can see is the shallowness in me
If you make it, I’ll still love you
If you take it, I won’t judge you
I won’t judge you, I won’t judge you, I won’t judge you, I’ll still love you,
I’ll still judge you
oh…
I’ll still love
(Once every once in a great while, once every once in a great while…) repeat

Deep Cyst

Coloring pictures in tune with a knife
Sure, it may leave a mark, but do you really in this thing called life?
Social skies, and racial eyes, 31 days every other block
Although they loathe you, you know they’re all talk
It’s enchanting when decanting as you’ve realized, you’ve realized enough
It’s no wonder as we come down, we always want back, we always want back up
But, we ask why
Contemplating, you’ll ask why
Every single way, you’re just another end, that’s all
Stray the subject all you want, try to have a fucking ball
Contemplating, you’ll ask why, but does it even really matter?
If all we are are tiny ovals of energy, heat and matter
And everything is a waste of time, then why do we even bother?
(Why? Why?)
Oh, why?
Are you in disguise?
Wash your ears and live in fear; don’t be a faggot with your tears
And as you’re trying to pop your cyst, I won’t even say a prayer
(Why? Why?)
Oh, it’s pretty sick
Everyone’s got a nervous tick
All we are are tiny ovals of energy, heat and matter
When it really comes right down to it, you’ll wonder why we really even matter?
(No!)
(Why?)
Living as parasites, on a sphere with life
How did it start, and where does it end?
Why does everything seem to blend?
Is there more we cannot see?
Are we or are we not free?
Ohhhh, woahhh, why?….
Oh, what’s going on?
Ah, there’s nothing
Oh, why do we sleep at night when we no nothin’ is right?
(Stop)

Maybe
03:03
|

Ohhh
Maybe it’s on the floor, maybe it’s outside the door
Maybe it could be nothin’, maybe it could be somethin’?
Do you wanna miss this?
Do you wanna miss this?
(Maybe I was just talkin’ to myself)
(Maybe I was just talkin’ to myself, no one else was there)
(I don’t know why I would even want to in the first place)
(Why’d I even want to in the first place)
(Why?)
Ohhh
Maybe it’s on the floor, maybe it’s outside the door
Maybe it could be nothin’, what if it is somethin’?
Do you wanna miss this?
Do you wanna miss this?
Do you wanna miss this?
Do you wanna miss this?
Do you wanna miss this?
Do you wanna miss this?
Ohhh

It’s so dark in here.
There is no way out.
I’m forced to face my fears.
Where is my God now?
Ohh, ohh, it’s so dark in here
Ohh, ohh, somebody turn on the light
Ohh, ohh, somebody turned out the light
It’s so dark in here.
There is no way out.
Ohh, ohh, it’s so dark in here
Ohh, ohh, somebody turn on the light
It’s so dark in here…

Hero

Did you ever notice, I kiss the toilet seat you shit on?
Have you ever realized, I don’t have a reason to live, now I’m turned on?
Surrounded by isolation, in your very own little matrix, you could get what you want
I wish it were true, I wish I were you
And then I would have all these responsibilities to flaunt
But are you the real deal, what about the dickless lies in our corporate sea called, Life?
What about, what about, what about, what about, what about, what about…
Somethin’ I gotta tell ya
Somethin’ I gotta tell ya, somethin’ about you, somethin’ about me, here it goes now
Never could get it out, get it out, get it out of me before
Something you should know before you go about me
No, I can’t say it, no, I can’t say it
Never could get it out, get it out, get it out, get it out of me, oh
Here it goes, you’ll have to excuse me, I’m not the best with my words
Fuck it, here it goes!
Ever since I met you, I feel I’ve been besmirched
I don’t really have a reason anymore to be on this earth
You’re naive to your failed experiment
And if it were up to you, it would be no accident
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Here it goes..
Only thing I could tell ya, one thing I could tell ya
Ohh, hoh, hohh, you’re my hero, hero!
Whoa, hoh, whoa
You’re my hero, hero
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
You’re my hero
Somethin’ I gotta tell ya, somethin’ I gotta tell ya
You’re my hero, hero
Somethin’ you should know before you go
You’re my hero, hero, hero
Oh, whoa, whoa
You’re my hero, my hero
Did you ever notice, I kiss the toilet seat you shit on?
Have you ever realized, I don’t have a reason to live, even though I’m turned on?
Surrounded by isolation, in your very own little matrix, you could get what you want
I wish it were true, I wish I were you
And then I’d have all these responsibilities to flaunt
But are you really real, what about the gutless lies, our corporate sea called, Life?
What about, what about, what about, what about…
You’re my hero
Ah, hoh, hoh, whoa
You’re my hero
Hero, no, ohh
You’re my hero, my hero, my hero, my hero, my ohh

Only One
13:01
|
|||
I think I’ve fallen for you, or maybe I’ve gone crazy
I may have felt this before, but my memory’s hazy
When you’re not around, I find it hard to function
And when you’re back in town, I find it hard to function
Think you’re the only one, I wish you were near me
And yet I stifle myself, in case you learn to fear me
Ohh, I’ve been without you too long
And, ohh, it’s hard to keep goin’ strong, for too long, yeah
Oh, so why am I sitting here, holdin’ my dong - tell me!
Oh, it’s cold as hell if that makes sense
I FUCKING MISS YOU!!!
I’m wasting my moment spent
I FUCKING CRAVE YOU!!!
It’s cold as hell if that makes sense
I FUCKING MISS YOU!!!
You’re wasting my moment spent
I FUCKING CRAVE YOU!!!
You’re the only one, you’re the only one
You’re the only one, you’re the only one
You’re the only one, you’re my moon and my sun, the only one
One who’s captured my soul, the only one
With I wanna have fun, the only one
With who I can grow old, the only one
With I wanna have fun, the only one… repeat, ad nauseam!
Soon! Soon there may be, soon you may see
Maybe you, the only one is me
Hey! Call me insane, give me the blame
But mutual to you would be lame
No! There is no cure, it’s all a blur
In so many words, it’s for sure
(I used to look at you on the window sill sill, but you went away, every day, went away) repeat
Look inside, look inside, don’t confide
Will you tell me what you see?
Look around, is there something you’ve found?
Could you tell me you now believe?
What’s it called, what’s it called, is it small?
Does it light you up at all?
End your life, end your life, and it’s nice
Now whose name do you wanna call?
You’re the only one, you’re the only one
You’re the only one, you’re the only one
You’re the only one, you’re my moon and my sun, the only one
One who’s captured my soul, the only one
With I wanna have fun, the only one
With who I can grow old, the only one
With I wanna have fun, the only one… repeat, ad nauseam, agaaain!

duffle band California
Since 2003, one man Duffle Band plays and records kind of quirky, kind of dark, kind of silly, kind of stark, often poppy, seldom cocky, very rock-y songs. Sometimes he does so very often, other times not so often (with a gap of 6 years between his 2nd & 3rd albums!). Sometimes he uses just an acoustic guitar and a tape recorder, other times he layers on piles of sound with a MacBook Pro yo. Yee. ... more
