Boy In Blue 03:37
Picture it, you're laying on your bed in a ray of sunlight and your eyes are comfortably dry and the last time you had to cry out, it was in joy. I won't cry over you Cause you're just a boy who doesn't know what to do No, I won't cry over you. Cause I've got so many better things to do. So we can walk hand in hand and two by two As the black black void starts to turn to blue As the sun comes up from the horizon and I'll keep walking cause I know I'm finding Some place I can stay forever, whether or not we are still together Some place I can stay for eternity, whether or not you are still beside me. What do I mean to you? So I won't cry over you Cause you're just a boy who doesn't know what to do No, I won't cry over you. Cause I've got so many better things to do.

They say she died here, they say it happened right here They say she cried here, but she never felt fear They left her alone, she felt like she didn't have a home to call her own but, she still was sweet and soft and she was kind to a fault So she staged a rebellion she said "you can't control me! I will do to everybody, what I wish was done to me, I will be sweet and kind! cause I know good friends are hard to find." And she never changed her ways no she, she stayed that way all her days she said i'd rather feel pain, I'd rather go insane than grow hard and forget how it feels to feel at all. \ And she still was sweet and soft and she was kind to a fault. She was a woman of legend, a woman of myth a woman so giving nothing's what she's left with. They say she died here, they say it happened right here They say she cried here, but she never felt fear

I'm in my room and I'm feeling kind of lonely thinking about all the things I hate about me And even then I want nothing to do with you and your shitty attitude So stay away from me, I ain't that fucking lonely and I'm never gonna be. So many assholes try and come my way and to them I always say, So stay away from me, I ain't that fucking lonely. Yeah sure I'm lonely, sometimes I'm insecure But I still got enough self worth to say, that you should stay away So stay away from me, I ain't that fucking lonely and I'm never gonna be. So stay away from me, I ain't that fucking lonely for you to get to me Yeah I don't like you, and all your shitty friends and the way you all play pretend with other peoples feelings That's why I say So stay away from me, I ain't that fucking lonely and I'm never gonna be So stay away from me, I ain't that fucking lonely for you to get to me So stay away from me, I ain't that fucking lonely.

So it ain't complicated, and it makes me frustrated I'm not obsessed I'm just depressed Why must you be so cruel to me? I just wanna be happy, I just wanna be set free. I go overboard almost always in this life Cause I got too much love to share tonight oh I got too much love to share tonight. So this one's for the boy that's never been kissed, and all those pretty girls I don't have a chance with. Cause I'm not too loud and I'm not too proud so why must you try and limit me? I just wanna be set free I just wanna be happy And yeah it be nice if someone I liked did like me but at the end of the day, guess I'm glad to be free oh at the end of the day, guess I'm pretty happy Oh at the end of the day, guess I'm glad to be me.

I don't wanna die, I just want things to get better No, I don't wanna die, I just can't live this way forever I wanna feel good, I wanna feel understood I wanna feel good, I wanna feel like I should I wanna grow old, I wanna be told I'm loved. Cause I don't wanna die, I just want things to get better No, I don't wanna die, I just can't live this way forever I'll tell you a story from when I was young And this tale of woe had only just begun Cause I'm older now and I'm pretty proud of what I've done. I'm older now and I'm pretty proud of what I've become. Cause I don't wanna die, I just want things to get better No, I don't wanna die, I just can't live this way forever

I know you, better than I want to I know you, so damn well. You put me under some kinda spell, a love spell and it sent me to hell. Thought you were cool Back when we met in highschool thought you were cool I guess I was wrong, Or I wouldn't be singing all these heartbroken love songs. You must of given me some kinda potion to believe all of these obvious lies that you have fed to me Yeah you must of hidden all the flavors of deceit with cinnamon and fooled me. Yeah I Thought you were cool Back when we met in high school But I guess I was wrong, Or I wouldn't be singing this song. I know this one ain't original, there's plenty of songs about being hurt. But I'll try to keep it short. I know it's not original there's plenty of songs where girls cry into microphones (HA!) But I, I thought you were cool Back when we met in high school Now I guess I was wrong, Or I wouldn't be singing this song. Now I'm trying desperately, to get away from your memory! Why can't I escape ya? Do I have to move to Latin America? Do I have to move to Canada? How do i get away from the scent of ya? (OH YEAH) Cause I thought you were cool, But I guess I was wrong Or I wouldn't be singing this song. So I'll leave you with this, if you meet someone who you're not quite sure about, don't you let 'em get in don't you let 'em get out Or you'll be singing, a cliche heartbroken love song

about

Pansy has been in the works for over a year now in one way or another but the name has existed even longer.
When I was a child, my eldest brother called me a pansy all the time. It tormented me. I asked my mother what it meant and she told me that a pansy was a beautiful flower, and that he called me it as an insult because a pansy was so delicate that even a soft touch could cause it to wilt.
I grew up believing that my greatest weakness was how emotional I was, and by extension, how /delicate/.
I know now that that softness was part of what made a pansy flower so beautiful. My brother was soft too, and passed away just over a year ago on May 9th, 8 days after his 29th birthday. I think of all the things he must have kept hidden inside, and how I wish he had let it out.

This album seeks to let it out.
