When I was a boy
Chasing a note Straining to bring up The chords in my throat Battling age clinging the coat Humming the old songs in stereo I had not a thought Of parking lots And me in the car With the doors all locked I'm staring ahead Everyone's dead I'm under the pain in between my ribs It's just like the movies It comes about face All at once when I'm breathing The careless air of the night |

(Verse 1)
We sank down under the sand Down with the creatures Where we found ourselves lying around Searching for something so much More there's so much here Why do we bend ourselves Baby it's just a kiss Why do we compromise (Pre-chorus) It's over my neighbor I'm under such pressure If Heaven is waiting There's nothing left here for me now (Chorus) Now we're fading into this world of Desire and shame There's nothing less radiant (Verse 2) Lie awake eyes on the wall Packing back and forth through Ever night there is a change There is an obvious change When we feel undenied Why do we go unreserved? Lights out open thighs Run away, oh run away (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) (Bridge) On my face there is a change And all these scars are floating away I cross my arms and take on the rain I'm on my way I am awake (Chorus) |

(Verse 1)
We all went home To search ourselves There's no one left To feed us now We all want more Then what we have Just pick me up And let me down (Chorus) State your reason for cushioning your fall I call it treason please share with me your thoughts (Verse 2) I've learned to find my place to hide My circus of rust and lies We take it down these holy ties Just run away and follow blind (Bridge) Do you enter lives Without knocking or warning Do you count the lives And pace the night til' morning |

(Chorus A)
How much longer can we take this How much farther can we drag ourselves Maybe something's in the water Tell us if we've gone too far (Chorus B) This is the sound we make This is the forward pace This is not saving grace We are the rest of us We are the ambulance This is not glorious (Verse 1) Break from all of what you must be coming from Sit down and listen up We survive while we fall apart through the country lines Owning up to what we are In the bus or the car Take her in but you can't ignore The undertow is at your neck It will eat you if you aren't strong enough I'll take over (Chorus A) (Chorus B) (Verse 2) Sleep is harder than Angels to come across And you've been breaking Promises with the risk of losing It all for what Oh you know it's not enough The poison leaks through the tar And everyone is falling apart while lovers wait in far away lands Is there nothing quite as strong as glue? Someone tell me |

(Verse 1)
Maybe everyone's to blame Cuz I can't fall in love to save All the world or anyone else Turn on the TV and fade (Pre-chorus) Maybe it's only me (Chorus) Talk to me now Why do you run from me Walk up to me Like we've never met Break into me I need you more than you know Oh no, I'm under the ground (Verse 2) Tell me if you want to be Lonely or if there should be Someone else tell me it's me Let's run away in the rain (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) (Bridge) My parts are falling out it's useless No one can save me now I'm under Somebody's painted house I hear their Surrounding voices fade when I decide to stay It's four in the morning I'm naked and staring at the wall In my lonely apartment room And I'll swear to your beauty I'm sorry that I'm so messed up Don't hate me When I'm under the ground |

Someone came in through the door alone
Dropped their bags revealed a shotgun Started shooting everyone in sight Oh my God Im going to die alone Pre-chorus Feel love gripping you Feel love racing through your body Chorus So we can run through So we can run So we can run through And work on falling in love Verse 2 While his plane is crashing down below Towards the people in the city In their cars and on their boats he knows They will never know the loss of time and control Bridge Theres so much beauty Outside and on my bathroom floor Shes covered in blanket Everybody wants to see God So clear and with their own two eyes Oh I feel alone |

Just stay in my arms
(Verse 1) Last night I leveled with the angels They were everywhere And there was nothing I could do It wasn't their call We entered the house greeted By a stranger who would soon replace ours (Pre-chorus) And right away I knew I was entering Into a place of uncertainty and disdain (Chorus) Why is father On the phone did he notice Her withering hand or is it something she said Up this flight of stairs how we dare I enter this room and this house (Verse 2) I descend into a room down the hall My hands are shaking I must reason with the angels They will understand They will see the tears Tell everyone I can make them let her go (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) (Bridge) Crying out She's in Heaven now And this house couldn't work as a cage for an angel Now it's me I've got to let go |

(Verse 1)
The matching children fall in play It makes me happy without the pain I've been waiting for the phone to ring And I'm convinced that we're all the same (Pre-chorus) I've seen you cut through me How long can you wait (Chorus) Right now she's dancing in the middle My heart is naked for the first time I feel the turning of the ground now Wait oh weigh me down (Verse 2) I bite my lip with the fear that my Girl's been tasting another guy It appears to me your life can only move At the pace of the river you travel down (Pre-chorus 2) There's never enough paper When you leave me face down (Bridge) I feel just perfect There's nothing wrong with me So leave me alone Don't make me tell you twice But when the windows die It's enough to (x3) Drain my sanity and leave me helpless Staring endlessly all night But the words aren't right |

(Verse 1)
You were walking towards my first Apartment with hesitance Feeling like you were making mistakes Oh I've made them I'm sorry It's an awkward time to replace History with feelings But I'll suck the pain out anyways I'm hardly alive now (Pre-chorus) So cut into my chest And leave me on the bed (Chorus) I could crawl on my hands and my knees Change the way I do everything My desires crumble away Leaving me safe driving away (Verse 2) I've been a mess no sleep for weeks My head hurts I've earned it The other day I heard your voice For the first time in two years (Pre-chorus 2) It should keep me on my way Chasing after you (Chorus 2) I could crawl on my hands and my knees Change the way I do everything My desires crumble away Leaving me safe driving away Keeping me all alone Thinking away everything (Bridge) Start my car and drive I'm headed to you and I'll never hide my face I'll never go running away again (Chorus) (Chorus 2) |

I'm sure to find true love under angel wings,
assured and locked so tight I know she's whispering. Alone and savoring life alone tonight she's coming out to greet a world so wont of light. Her first time exposed to the games and bitter ends. Her last time to feel clean, in broken english she says, I lost everything to one boy who says he was mine, he said he'd hold me forever. Now she's sitting on my floor, pulling out her hair to ease that she's not sleeping again. This cotton down it feels so much more like home. the memories creep in as she closes both her eyes. She's walking out into the night for the first time, completely unprepared for the thousandth time. I lost everything to one boy who says he was mine, he said he'd hold me forever. Now she's sitting on my floor, pulling out her hair to ease that she's not sleeping again. The first time that I saw those eyes was the first time that I came undone, oh Mary look what you've done to me. oh Mary look what you've done. The first time that I saw those eyes was the first time I came undone, oh Mary look what you've done to me. oh Mary look what you've done. She says, I lost everything to one boy who says he was mine, he said he'd hold me forever. she's sitting on my floor, pulling out her hair to ease that she's not sleeping again. I can't forget this night; another left, another right. How did I ever get away, the door was locked the key unmade. Out for the last time life ends here, there is no next time gas is full; a vehicle that ends all fear. |

(Verse 1)
You bring your face to mine Your anger wells inside You speak your wasted mind And mine is wasting You drag me deep inside The depths of wide decline And I could not prepare For the fall (Pre-chorus) You're frozen uncertain empty inside I've fallen so deep I can't see the light (Chorus) I'm bleeding my hands are cold Someone save me I've trusted what I can't see But everyone is blind (Verse 2) It took me so long to break the chains of time Servant freedom comes from the inside They could not see you tearing apart everything Such a small one you wanted love (Pre-chorus 2) Dilated frustrated you can't get out My fingers keep shaking it's all in vain (Chorus) (Bridge) I was born for this I swear strengthen me This is the part where I break down on my knees Maybe the words have lost their shape but I need you To paint the picture I can't see for We are blind Can't you see (Chorus) |

(Verse 1)
I couldn't find you Last night for quite some time Wishing to tell you Everything running through my mind We would have drove down Over the bridge and towards the sea Parking the sad car In between 24th and 5th (Chorus) I want to write a song about our love But there is none (Verse 2) Still I continue Driving the lonely road My thoughts running over Humming a sad forgotten song Wasting all our time That you're spending with someone else (Chorus) (Bridge) Satiate my mind And calm my nerves to look and find Words that aren't enough And never show a single piece of my mind (Chorus x2) |

(Verse 1)
I was licking the wound on my side Just like the animals I see at night Dragging me through the depths of My mind the fear closes my eyes Wishing I could be folded up tight In the walls of the castle that I Built for myself with the purpose of Keeping the world out of my sight (Chorus) Why was I the one eating you Up over the phone bringing the Wind straight to my door like ice on the Road spin around and round (Verse 3) I have witnessed a bird in my time On a schedule for days of its life Charging and slamming its fragile body Against the window while I Am reminded of yesterdays pain And this mirror is revealed to me We never change or learn from mistakes It's a shame we are enslaved (Chorus) (Bridge) I lost time once again There you are Turn me on Touch my skin Free my heart Now and let me fly (Chorus) |

(Verse 1)
I am on my way to something small The turning of a year and I am raw Stripped away surrounded by the trees On mountains urging me to fall asleep or (Chorus) Fall in love and crumble while you can Freeze the world in time to understand A way to trust in turbulence (Verse 2) Wonder how much longer we can take That's silly we can last at least a week The turning in my stomach has increased And no one knows like branches how we sleep (Chorus) |
