Do you hear yourself late at night?
Do you see the words in your dreams?
Trying to understand what's right
Take time and find out what you need
'Cause it's not so bad
If you don't find this home
It's not so bad
If this isn't what you want
Cause time is no stranger
it is no judge
and what you've given is enough
Maybe it's not your home
Maybe it's not what you want
Maybe it's not what you need
It just is

Whoa

We're talking
We're talking
We're talking about what we could be
What we could be
We're dreaming
We're dreaming
We're dreaming about what this should be
What this should be
But this gift won't last forever
If we won't let it
But with all our hearts together
We got our chances
Well we are, we are stronger
If we just let it in
Our hearts to the hunger
The dreams that will bury it
We might just stand a chance
If we leave all this baggage behind
and climb up towards the mountaintop
and see what's in front of us
We are
Still not sure
About where we want
We can't be too sure about
where we belong
But this gift won't last forever
If we won't let it
But with all our hearts together
We got our chances
Well we are, we are stronger
If we just let it in
Our hearts to the hunger
The dreams that will bury it
We might just stand a chance
If we leave all this baggage behind
and climb up towards the mountaintop
and see what's in front of us
(Whoa)
Well we are, we are stronger
If we just let it in
Our hearts to the hunger
The dreams that will bury it
We might just stand a chance
If we leave all this baggage behind
and climb up towards the mountaintop
and see what's in front of us

Burn Me Down
04:05

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want right now
Tell me what me what I gotta
Tell me what me what I gotta do
to get you here somehow
Tell me what I have to
Tell me what I have to say
Tell me how to get you back one day
‘Cause if this ain’t all you talked about
And if this ain’t all you want
And if I’m just another stepping stone
To step on now
Oh come on Baby burn me down
Your the only one who knows how
Baby turn me out
I know you’re not that sure
‘Cause it hurts
Tell me what I need to
Tell me what I need to do
Just to get a little closer to you
‘Cause if this ain’t all you talked about
And if this ain’t all you want
And if I’m just another stepping stone
To step on now
Oh come on Baby burn me down
Your the only one who knows how
Baby turn me out
I know you’re not that sure
‘Cause it hurts
‘Cause I
I can’t make it out myself
I need somebody else to get me through
Like you
You’re the only one I know that could save me.
Oh come on Baby burn me down
Your the only one who knows how
Baby turn me out
I know you’re not that sure
‘Cause it hurts

Mediocre Me
03:13
|

|
Well I keep calling
And all I’m hearing is the voice on your machine but
That message ain’t right
It says you want nothing to do with me but
What’s the worst that could happen?
If you jump ship into the sea
What’s the worst that could happen?
If you chose mediocre me
I know better
Than to chase a lazy heart
It don’t need no more tears
I can’t help the way this feels to me
What’s the worst that could happen?
If you jump ship into the sea
What’s the worst that could happen?
If you chose mediocre me
Well I can’t help
All the things that people say
And I can’t help
If you prefer life that way
‘Cause this ain’t no motorcycle
No, I never had training wheels
Love is a vicious cycle
It’s more about how you choose to deal
I can’t help but to lose myself
Every time i think theres a glimmer of a chance
And I can’t help but to see the light
Blind myself and fall right on my ass
But if you had a moment just to spare for me
Give a dog a bone and
Let’s do a jig and dance until
These dogs are calling for home
Home
HOME
Well I can’t help
All the things that people say
And I can’t help
If you prefer life that way
‘Cause this ain’t no motorcycle
No, I never had training wheels
Love is a vicious cycle
It’s more about how you choose to deal

There’s something about this house
That keeps me in my place
Something about these mellowed scars
That keep me from showing face
And there is something about you that makes me go insane
Something about your look that causes pain
Now if you are not feeding me some bullshit
Than I am not alone
And you have no idea what that means to me
That means I am free to be the asshole that I’m meant to be cause.
You are too. You’re a dick and I am too
With you and me there’s not much to say
We’re just two fish swimming along pretending to be okay
And as fallacious as that may be
We’ll keep smiling until we are happy, happy
But until then we are screwed
Cause this ain’t real and we are doomed
So!
Into the fire into the streets
Into the back row of our dreams
Into the lake
Into the creek
Into wherever there aren’t feelings
Cause we aren’t real
We aren’t together
We’re starting to feel
So count me out
Count em broken
I am leaving I’m done choking
There’s nothing healthy about lying
There’s nothing healthy about my heart
There’s nothing healthy with dismissing feelings but acknowledging is just a start
But I’m an asshole
But thank god you are too
Yeah you’re a dick and I am too.

Missing a Beat
03:58
|

|
The sky falls
I duck
The earth quakes
I jump
The phone rings
I call
The light breaks
And the engine stalls
The clock rings
I sleep
She walks in
I leave
The world spins
I stop
My heart swells
I pop
And then the rain falls down without missing a beat
And then the sun comes up and I melt in the heat
I don’t know what this body wants
I can’t tell what it eats
I’m just a restless mind in an alien body
Trying to hide emotions while forcing feelings
I know this could be even better if I
Try to avoid the first thing that comes to mind
And if I could allow myself more room to fall I could mend these wounds and accept my faults
And then the rain falls down without missing a beat
And then the sun comes up and I melt in the heat
I don’t know what this body wants
I can’t tell what it eats
I’m just a restless mind in an alien body
Trying to hide emotions while forcing feelings
Is this the last chance?
To find out what I need?
Maybe a sad romance
Or something new to read.
I fight back
I fall
I get up
Stand tall
You notice
My faults

Sure to Let You Down
05:25
|
|||
|
I’m telling you
It’s the not the same
As your sick, sad story of a lover
And how he lost his way
And I’m telling you
You’re not to blame
For how he wrought your heart
And I’m the same
Well you push and pull
And reel me out
And suffocate with shameless doubt
And you wreck this heart
But shelter yours from the storm that never subsides
Well it grows weaker inside
I’m obsessed with my mistakes
And I know the pain is what I make of it
But I can’t help but to just dwell on this past
Because you scorched into my mind that this will never last
But if I can fight it
I’d be sure to let you down
Well you’ve doomed us
Any chance we ever had
Was subject to your scrutinizing eyeglass
Yeah, you’ve doomed us
With your insecure lens
It bored a hole into my mind forcing out regret
Well you push and pull
And reel me out
And suffocate with shameless doubt
And you wreck this heart
But shelter yours from the storm that never subsides
Well it grows weaker inside
I’m obsessed with my mistakes
And I know the pain is what I make of it
But I can’t help but to just dwell on this past
Because you scorched into my mind that this will never last
But if I can fight it
I’d be sure to let you down
You down
You down
You down

December

This is December
Another month up in flames
Now you’ll know my name
Newly discouraged
Another tear lost to time
And finally one that’s mine
Self destruction suits me
But what else?
If not the broken parts
There are too many pieces
To a healthy start
And still December
A tender vessel for this flame
And kindling for my shame
Never the doubter
I can feel the weight of words
I’ve only wielded worse
Self destruction suits me
A chance to mend these broken parts
I can seal back up her gifts, these fears, my love and all the endless gears that light the dark.

First Breath
05:56
|
|||
|
It's a first breath
A long draw
Everything I've known
Everything believed
Everything I'm taught
Everything I read
They're the first words
A long pause
Everything that's wrong
Everything I mean
Everything I sought
Everything I plea
But these are words
They scream
They bleed
And they allow me to speak
And right now they need your name
For your guidance and for me to learn shame
And I hope that this is worth all your time
Cause I am more than proficient in
Disappointment and regret
And I can't help but to understand
All things that I could have been
It's the first step
A long fight
Everything you wish
Everything you want
Everything resists
Everything that's not
It's the first chance
A new plot
Everything has changed
Everything anew
Everything that's old
Everything that's blue
And it's your heart
It screams
It bleeds
And it allows me to speak
And right now it needs her name
And for you to carry home this flame
And I see the new you
Cause I am more than proficient in
Disappointment and regret
And I can't help but to understand
All things that I could have been
Bridge
But this means more than anything I've asked before
I can't pretend this happiness anymore

Better
03:51
|

|
Read the smile between these lips
Hear the song behind my eyelids
The frequencies along these ears
They're whispers of something different
Well how am I supposed to answer
"Hey I'm feeling like sh--"
But time disables,
This cancer is tying together my limbs
Cause I can look you in the eye
Turn the light on your world
While mine shades over
Getting colder and thicker than mold
But I'm better
I'm happy now
I promise it's different, I know it's fractured collar bones, numbed fingers, spilled acid, and burned my home
But they say that time heals all wounds
And time knows better than to feed these moods
It gives shelter made of twine
But these walls grow thinner in my life
But I'm better
I'm happy now
I've seen love shake fear straight to the bone
Strike malice and heartache down
But I'm better
I'm happy now
I haven't thought of suicide for more than a week
I hope that this can mean something
