Elliott Smith

Tranquil as a dove ~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

Tired trying to change your mind
When it's so easy to disconnect mine

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

Down to slurs
And drunken shouts
I don't think I'm ever gonna figure it out

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

I'm alone
That's okay
I don't mind
Most of the time
I don't feel afraid

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

I got a broken heart
And your name on my cast

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

I do what people say
And lie in bed all day
Absolutely horrified
I hope you're satisfied

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

But it's alright
Some enchanted night
I'll be with you

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

Will you come out now
Who would you do it for
Unlucky charm,
Beautiful collapsing star
Who would it be
Why wasn't it me?

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

The things that you tell yourself
They'll kill you in time

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

I wish I could call you today
Just to hear a voice

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

Bitten fingernails
And a head full of the past
But everybody's gone at last

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

I couldn't think of a thing
That I hope tomorrow brings
Oh, what a surprise

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

I've got no new act to amuse you
I've got no desire to use you
But anything that I could do
Would never be good enough for you

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

You gave me nothing but grief
Some bullshit story
Only I would believe

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

Always waiting for some sunnier day

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

Static in my head
The reflected sound of everything
I tried to go to where it led
But it didn't lead to anything

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

You keep your things in a place meant to hide
But I know they're there somewhere
And I know that's where you'll go tonight

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

Me and you
Silent and cliché

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

Go to sleep,
And make the change
I'll meet you here tomorrow

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

It's easy to stay clean
When no one sees where you're bleeding

~ Elliott Smith

[Elliott Smith @rememberElliott]

To vanish into oblivion
It's easy to do
And I try to be
But you know me
I come back
When you want me to

~ Elliott Smith
