Verse 1
I’ve got a big black book with your name at the top
And I’m gonna go right down that list, yeah I just ain’t gonna stop
Until I cross every letter, every line, every dot
Off of every single page…
I’ve got a bone to pick and it’s pointed at you
Yeah I’ma poke a hole for every promise never came true
I found a soft patch of dirt darling, now I’m almost through…
Chorus 1
Now I’ve seen it all, and I couldn’t change a single thing about this, I tried…
And through it all, you still retained a sense of self composure, practical poise, and grace…
Verse 2
I’m the big bad wolf, come to blow down your house
But instead I think I’d rather come and throw down your blouse
You and me could make a mess out of your stepfather’s couch…
Then I’ll just waltz out the front door clutching your heart
I put it all on black in Reno, it’s a hell of a start
I paid my dues, sang some blues, at least I can say I played my part…
Chorus 2
Now I’ve seen it all, and I couldn’t change a single thing about this, I tried…
And through it all, you still retained a sense of self composure, practical poise, and grace…
You sure made sure that every single speck of what once was is no more
And now you’re pure, but I shed my skin and found an anchor tethered to your cold shore…
Outro
I said a little brother wanna talk a lot about a gecko, calling out for sandwiches that got no mayo, a little brother wanna talk a lot about a gecko…
I said a little brother wanna talk a lot about a gecko, calling out for sandwiches that got no mayo, a little brother wanna talk a lot about a gecko…
How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself?

Apple A Day

Verse 1
I fell asleep inside a big black seashell, when I woke up I was inside of you
You smell just like a piece of pumpkin pie in the middle of June
Still finding broken glass atop my carpet, tickle my toes until it cuts the skin
You’re shaking like a black flame flickering in the wind
Chorus
Wide awake when you sleep, and the silence is so deafening
And my mind’s on repeat, when the night starts surrounding
Hit the deck, kill the lights, see the dawn Lord willing and the creek don’t rise
Cheap kicks on the side, before the night starts surrounding, before the night starts surrounding, before the night starts surrounding me
Verse 2
I picked the soil ’til I found big rocks girl, nothin’ but pebbles ‘neath your majesty
You taste just like a rain drop in a big old sea
Still on a sinking sail boat, drop anchor
Dragging the floor until it cuts the skin
I wanna eat your apple and taste your sin
Chorus
Wide awake when you sleep, and the silence is so deafening
And my mind’s on repeat when the night starts surrounding
Hit the deck, kill the lights, see the dawn Lord willing and the creek don’t rise
Cheap kicks on the side, before the night starts surrounding, before the night starts surrounding, before the night starts surrounding me

Verse 1
I caught a little butterfly today, I clipped her so she couldn’t fly away, I got her in a jar up on display, you wanna touch well you gotta pay
Chorus
And I don’t mind, coz there’s enough to go around
And I don’t mind, there’s plenty more to be found
Verse 2
I crushed a caterpillar with my teeth, I trapped a spider in between the sheets
I drowned a beetle in the kitchen sink, I taught a broken cricket how to speak
Chorus
And I don’t mind, coz there’s enough to go around
And I don’t mind, there’s plenty more to be found
Bridge
You’re a crooked little kitten sitting cozy with the wrong kind of crowd
And I’m a straight shooting stuff strutting silhouette shaping the sound
Chorus
And I don’t mind, coz there’s enough to go around
And I don’t mind, there’s plenty more to be found
There’s plenty more, there’s plenty more, there’s plenty more…

Verse 1
Mmmmm, you little devil, admire the mess you’ve made
The vultures and vermin venture forth and feast for days
Ohhh yeah they’re picking my bones clean
Mixed with the dust as I splinter and rust and stumble through my dreams
Chorus 1
Love, come hither, wade these waters with me
Whatever’s meant to be will be, so let’s fetch a fire and see
These jagged nights, beckon my blood, echoing your siren song
And maybe I’m destined to become the phantom inside
Your old life
Verse 2
Oooohhhh, they chomp and chew and they cackle like crows in the fire
Sever the silver strings and leave me in the pyre
Ohhh darling, can’t you carry me back home
And may that detritus that dances inside us leave well enough alone
Chorus 2
Love, come hither, wade these waters with me
Whatever’s meant to be will be, so let’s fetch a fire and see
These jagged nights, beckon my blood, echoing your siren song
And maybe I’m destined to become the phantom inside
Your life

Verse 1
I left my wife and children laying in their graves
That sickness come and took ‘em, left me here to stay
And so I sail this wretched sea, my empty soul my company
There’s water, water everywhere and I’ve had too much to drink
Verse 2
Our captain slumbered at the wheel, ran our ship ashore
We pillaged her from stern to bow, stripped her to the core
And as her ashes danced away, a siren song began to play
That old ghost of a melody that haunts me to this day
Verse 3
Now everything’s grown gray and cold
Salt cracked lips and fish-hook toes
Tattered rags and tourniquets adorn my aching bones
Chorus 1
Curse this brittle skin, this bitter flesh I’m in
Curse this flowing blood
Settled dust and sin is all that lies within every shallow breath
Verse 4
I staggered and I stumbled through that crooked land
To make my my name and stake my claim, start over again
But every rotten seed I sowed fell apart from head to toe
I crumbled and I quivered as I cursed the ground below
Chorus 2
On that endless sea there ain’t no room for me
There’s plenty room for you
So chase that setting sun, the deeds ain’t ever done
The days ain’t ever through
Verse 5
They found me barely sleeping on that rocky shore
They shackled me with all the rest and chained me to an oar
And now I row row row this boat, cursed by what keeps me afloat
I count the days until the water rises to my throat

Verse 1
I got a red red rocket keeping me up all night
I got a bitch of a ticking clock fixed up, let’s take flight
I got a big black gun taped to a hot flash light
Yeah I’m gonna fix any fucker falls into my sights
Chorus 1
I feel it slipping far away, any grip on sanity
Like the ghosts of yesterday
Oooohh I can feel it in my skin, something’s bubblin’…
Better let it breathe!
Verse 2
I got a little bit of light left in me, gotta keep it all locked up tight
Gotta find a wet wick to match, yeah, and let the flame burn bright
I gotta pony up and play my cards, before my cards play me
I got a sliver of a sight left to see…
Chorus 2
I feel it slipping far away, any grip on sanity
Like the ghosts of yesterday
Oooohh I can feel it in my skin, something’s bubblin’…
Better let it breathe!
Outro
Oooohh ripped apart so slow…
All the tiny pieces start to grow
Oooohh it’s a hell of a show
When all the tiny pieces start to grow…

Verse 1
All of you sinners around here are fat off fish from the lake
What does a red white and blue blooded man gotta do for a goddamn steak?
I don’t need the fixings, I don’t need the wine, I don’t need the fork or the knife
Just give me the flesh and the rest I’ll collect from these bitches that roam in the night…
Verse 2
My lieutenant said, “Boys, don’t stop ’til they’re dead!” and gladly we heeded the call
We’re blessed and alive, fuck the rest let ‘em die, well we mustn’t be bothered at all
Face out of fashion, I ate all my rations and left my gun in the rain
Lost all my wages, a cough that’s contagious, my darling come back again
Verse 3
My lover came home to the stench of cologne, and my body
Bled out on the floor
Needless to say, for the rest of her days
That girl won’t come ‘round here anymore…
Verse 4
Too weak to wander, so I sit and ponder just where my steps went astray
Well I think it began with the blood on my hands, but every man’s got to be paid
Small mouth to feed, black heart to bleed, my bitterness blossomed so slow
Noose ‘round the throat, no use for a note, now let’s get this show on the road…

Heir To The Throne
07:21

Verse 1
And after the ascension, I drifted endlessly through every fragment of space and time, coalescing with the cosmos, divine grace embracing every corner of my shadow, enraptured and enveloped by effervescent light, the holy thread of life unraveling before my weary eyes, my tethered soul released unto the echoed depths of memory, and each and every moment, a universe unto itself, the infinite and unconditional love of the goddess, forever flowing like galactic rivers, resurrecting the broken vessels of flesh and bone, our ghosts a glimpse of grace, an unfolding karma that carries our brittle light back unto the sky
Chorus 1
Cut and cauterized, the festered wounds are bleeding through
Barely blinking eyes still stare
A glimpse of paradise, battered, broken, buried, and betrayed
Be still, my heart
Yippee kai yay mother fucker!
Verse 2
So that we may shine, and burn before the blessed dawn, and with love, leap into the lunar fabric of creation, guided and gifted unto ourselves, the sacred roots of our souls forever nurtured and nourished, growing patiently, glowing like golden pillars of light, intertwined petals sprouted of the source, the stellar soil a-flood with seeds of skin and spirit, and every buried breath, born again of blood, a cherished drop of motion against the ever dancing decay, depthless faith and gratitude, abundant bosom to cradle my fear, able and willing to repair and replace me
Chorus 2
The burning blinding light, bursting through the black and blue
Behold the bleeding night in bloom
A casket wrought of sky, a splintered star, blistered scars
Forged upon the pyre, my pillar growing higher
Thank god, thank god, thank god
Yippee kai yay mother fucker!

Ghost In The Hall
05:00
|
|||
|
Verse 1
You stood collected, and I imperfected, outside of your wandering gaze
Ablaze were the embers, the ashes all strewn ‘gainst the splintering dusk of the day…
Our first born child is a ghost in the hall and her voice but a whisper decayed…
Fraught with the flame, we both burned at the stake, left our bones to be carried away…
Chorus 1
So fire at will, I can feed your denial, fester the pyres until, all the ashes trickle down to the gallows again
Verse 2
You were the victor and I was the spoils of a war we had waged all our lives
Rain fell’d the field as we counted the dead, cast the weak and bewildered aside
March until dawn, let the sun soak our eyes, we’ll sing dirges and dig up the graves
We’ll carve our names on the stone in the way between heaven and what we’ve betrayed
Chorus 2
So fire at will, I can feed your denial, fester the pyres until, everything comes crashing down to the depths of your whimpering breath
I can still hear the echo of your siren song whispering, ghost of a slow motion kill
Fan the flames with phantom limbs wrought of my bones
Outro
Break the glass ceiling, breathe in the shards
Show these poor souls what you’re capable of

Foreign Corner

Verse 1
Belly burst, broken bones, blistered boil
Fell asleep inside the soil
Coalesce, cold caress, tethered soul
I fell into an endless hole
Chorus 1
Seeking solace on this ever turning tide
I feel the phantom fingers crawling through the caverns in my mind
I’m falling deep into the shadow of the sun
Slow burning, breathe in all the ashes and become my light
Verse 2
Barren flesh, shallow breath, flowing blood
Born and bound unto the mud
Crippled grip, fickle skin, hollow veins
Purified inside the flame
Chorus 2
Seeking sanctum on this ever burning bridge
I feel my foothold crumble, slipping slowly, stumble through my sins
I’m falling deep into the torn and tattered sky
Cold yearning, symphony of silence left inside my heart
Outro
Brace for the impact, collusion of shadow and bone
Frayed by the contact of those left bereft and alone
Self-inflicted, stumbled and staggered from home
Shot in the dark, swallow the spark
And crawl through the cracks that are shown
Oh my God! What have we done?!
Buried the truth in the blood, cast out the light of the Son

Verse 1
I ate up your prescription, I swallowed all your lies
And it feels like I’ve been fucked raw from inside out now
No courtesy to calm down, it’s still burning me
Chorus 1
I swear to God I’ll break you, take my revenge then take you
Down that hole with me…
I pray to God you’ll die there, suffer your last desire slipping away
Into the sun you’ve chased…
Fuck it!
Verse 2
You woke up lifeless and afraid, you never were one to feed yourself anything
Other than manufactured happily-ever-after, save yourself the shame…
Chorus 2
I pray to God I’ll break you, take my revenge then take you
Down that hole with me…
I swear to God you’ll die there, suffer your last desire slipping away
Into the sun you’ve chased…
Outro
Practically perfect in every way, embrace the abundance, stave off decay
I’m just a business man, searching for a piece of pray
Licking my lips, gripping your hips, seizing the day…
What’s your bottom line? What’s your bottom line?!
I’ll tell you mine… I’ll tell you mine!
No one gets out alive!

Around Ourselves
04:57
|

|
Verse 1
And I don’t know where I’ve gone, where you’ve been, where we’re going
I’m running behind the sun, blinding us, just bury my bones
Beneath your bed…
I never stay asleep, waiting for the nothing to swallow me
I never stay awake, fading everyday while I pray for something else
To bloom inside of me
Chorus 1
Stuck in between the lines we’ve drawn around ourselves
Like scars unto our skin
We fall asleep with open eyes, dreading every sunrise
Can I believe?
Verse 2
And maybe the melody that’s breaking me is breaking you too
I’m craving the punishment that’s self-imposed and self-inflicted
Ohhh, your residue remains, fading every slowly, flowing like a flood
And I’m searching for your slow caress as I burn and break
Inside this mess of mine
Chorus 2
Stuck in between the lines we’ve drawn around ourselves
Like scars unto our skin
We fall asleep with open eyes, dreading every sunrise
Can I believe anything again? Anything again?
I don’t know
Chorus 3
Stuck in between the lines we’ve drawn around ourselves
Like scars unto our skin
We fall asleep with open eyes, dreading every sunrise
Can I believe anything again? Anything again?
I don’t know

Verse 1
A quiet whisper beckoning my bones
And I’m already afraid, never been this far from home
All I wanted was to keep a piece of you
Now I’m choking on my words and everything I can’t undo
Chorus 1
Cherish nothing, forged by flame and suffering
Wrought of God, wrath of man, sealed my fate with sleight of hand
Simmering solitude, nothing but particles passing through
The emptiness we resurrect
Verse 2
Perish in the pyres every passing night
Embrace the flame, embrace the flame
Blooming through the embers, pillars born of light
Illuminate, Illuminate
Chorus 2
Banished, hopeless, heartfelt empty promise
Coalesce, the slow collapse, parallel future parallel past
Twist of the tongue, turn of the key, the ghost in the dark sank its teeth into me
‘Til there was nothing left, yeah there was nothing left…
There was nothing left, there was nothing left, there was nothing left…
Yeah there was nothing left, there was nothing left,
There was nothing, nothing, nothing…
Chorus 3
Shimmering shadows, from the crest of the sun to the gallows
Flesh and form, skin and bone, scattering ashes, casting stones
Searching for solace, sifting the soil the seed and the corpus
For fragments of faith, the ember embraced, a splinter of grace
And there was nothing left…
There was nothing left, there was nothing left, there was nothing left…
Yeah there was nothing left, there was nothing left,
There was nothing, nothing, nothing…

Verse 1
Foggy morning, sunny day, up the coast to South LA
Crispy wine and retro shades, you know we’ll take it slow
There’s a little place where we can go
Where we’ll both walk hand in hand
Shuffle toes across the sand, dancin’ to a local band
You see, it’s you and me, and nowhere else I’d rather be
Chorus 1
Coz I’ve been living, longing, listening for rhythm,
Harmony, and everything in between
So gimme some lovin', oh just gimme some lovin’
I never knew what I was missing, wishing, waiting,
Hoping, praying for my day in the sun
So gimme some sunshine, oh just gimme some sunshine
I never needed nothin’ more than I need you
Verse 2
Orange evening, purple night, diamond stars and satellites
Crashing waves inside your eyes, believe in anything
Let’s let go of everything
Hold you close and share a kiss, poetry upon your lips
Soft caressing fingertips, you know
That you feel like home, so much more than flesh and bone
Chorus 2
Coz I’ve been living, longing, listening for rhythm,
Harmony, and everything in between
So gimme some lovin', oh just gimme some lovin’
I never knew what I was missing, wishing, waiting,
Hoping, praying for my day in the sun
So gimme some sunshine, oh just gimme some sunshine
I never needed nothin’ more than I need you

Intro
Ohhhh child, you’ll come running
You’ll come running
When the Lord calls you home
Verse 1
My first love was just like a jacket
I wore through the winter, lost in the spring
My next love, she caused such a racket
I tried to forget her, but I still hear her sing
The one after that was like fire to fallen leaves on the ground
Set my flesh all ablaze
Lord I’ve been blessed, there’s still one more yet
I hang on the letter as she turns the page
Chorus 1
Hellfire on high, build me a pillar as tall as the sky
Our pyre’s run dry, we’ll fill her up before first light
Verse 2
I watch as the seasons drift slowly together
For worse or for better, from snowfall to mud
Like seeds in the soil soaking up the sun
Wait for the river to become the blood
And fall through the sky, live our lives ‘til we die
Reach for the soil, return to our home
And blessed are we to become what we’ll be
Shed the light, we might see through the flesh and the bone
Chorus 2
(Instrumental)
Verse 3
My old man was just like an anchor
Clung to the floor while the current swept by
His old man, he wasn’t much better
Stomped like a storm in the still of the night
And God bless my mother for sailing a shipwreck
Treading the water ‘til we touched the shore
And lost in the cold as tomorrow unfolds
We’ll wait for daybreak, then we’ll brace for war
Chorus 3
Hellfire on high, build me a pillar as tall as the sky
Our pyre’s run dry, we’ll fill her up before first light
Verse 4
Love are you listening? Coz my tongue’s still dripping
Words in the water, phrases afraid
And I know I’m different but something’s still missing
I feel like I’m not quite asleep or awake
And yes I’ve grown tired of beating a dead horse
Feeding the chorus with verses cliché
But love what’s the difference? I know you ain’t listening
You’re doing much better without me these days
Chorus 4
Hellfire on high, build me a pillar as tall as the sky
Our pyre’s run dry, we’ll fill her up before first light

Verse 1
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you that you are true north
And in my heart there’s a needle, it’s always pointed at you
I’m following your light around this place, so give me grace
Oh let me savor your sweet symphony…
And I’ll try to remember to temper the darkness,
The spark, and the longing for more…
Verse 2
The current carries me away, another drop into the fray
She’ll never release me, enraptured and culled by the edge of the ember
Slowly surrender my soul…
I’m bellowing the echo in my heart through the dark, fan the spark
The breath that I breathe feeds the flame in your pyre, yeah
And I’ll try to embrace every texture and taste
As I chase every chance that I choose
I’ll bring the fire, you bring the fuse
Verse 3
I was alone, adrift in the void, drank from a well that ran dry
And I tilled the fields of ash and remains
Coughed up all my swallowed pride
Verse 4
And I was the martyr and you were the muse
And the world was a drop in our hands
So take what you want and I’ll take what I can
Verse 5
I could use a friend for the night
I’m a foe to myself, front seat to the fight
Let me crumble inside you and never see the light of day again
Could you do that for me my friend?

Baby sit next to me, coz I don’t wanna feel a distance in between us

Maybe just a little bit of your time, I’ll give you all of my honey
Chorus 1
You need a ride baby, so let me drive you home
I just wanna tell you that I…
I think you’re nice and I want you to meet my mom
Let’s take our time baby, live in the light and leave our shadows behind us
Darling, you need a ride baby, so let me drive you home
Verse 2
Baby take a walk with me, coz I don’t wanna miss a single thing about you
You can tell me everything, and I’ll return the favor
Funny feeling deep inside, it’s like I’ve known you all my life
Gimme just a little bit of your time, I promise not to waste it
Chorus 2
You need a ride baby, so let me drive you home
I just wanna tell you that I…

Verse 1
Feeling like a freight train falling, down a crooked track I’m crawling
Simmer in my solitude
Itching like a fix I’m seeking, down a crooked path I’m creeping
Spent needle stuck in the groove
And I try to get out of my senses, the hunger is endless now
Haunted by my own reflection, I’m fraught with the tension now
Pre Chorus 1
It’s all the same this time around, and I never made no difference anyhow
Ohhh, taking my time shaping the sound, but you know…
Chorus 1
It’s alright, we’ve been here once or twice
And we might need just a little more time before we do this all again
Ohhh, I’m gonna try to get it right before we meet in the next life
Coz I don’t want to make the same mistakes next time around…
Lover let me drown inside of you, separate the sound and watch it bloom
Verse 2
Tither and tithe, tinker and toil, sick of this disguise, stuck like a seed in the soil
I’ve been running on empty, killing myself so gently
Tracing my steps until they all come back around
And I try to get out of my senses, the hunger is endless now
Haunted by my own reflection, in every direction now…
Pre Chorus 2
It’s all the same this time around, and I never made no difference anyhow
Ohhh, taking my time shaping the sound, but you know…
Chorus 2
It’s alright, we’ve been here once or twice
And we might need just a little more time before we do this all again
Ohhh, I’m gonna try to get it right before we meet in the next life
Coz I don’t want to make the same mistakes next time around…
Lover let me drown inside of you, separate the sound and watch it bloom

Verse 1
I’m on the edge of the end of the world, I’m just trying to get closer
I felt the spark now I’m feeling the burn, oh God when will this be over?
Let’s hitch a ride to the hole in our hearts
Coz I just wanna sit next to you
We’ll light the flame as we crawl in the dark
Coz everybody says…
Chorus 1
I don’t mind what I don’t see, keep your kind away from me
Out of time, out of reach, you’ll stay blind, I’ll stay free
Verse 2
I’m on the cusp of another breakdown, oh goddess help me get over
The beat drops and I echo the sound, I’m still trying to get closer
Let’s strike a match like we’re striking a chord
Let’s open the door, it’s right in front of you
We’re on the edge of the end of it all
While everybody says…
Chorus 2
I don’t mind what I don’t see, keep your kind away from me
Out of time, out of reach, you’ll stay blind, I’ll stay free

Forgive And Forget
04:20

Verse 1
I’ve been thinking ‘bout the way we used to kiss, how it stuck on my lips, now it’s stuck on my lips
And I’ve been trying to forget all of this, yeah just forget all of this, but it’s buried in the mix
And I’ve been thinking ‘bout the way you used to look, you were barely waking up, now you’re shaking off the dust
I can’t believe that you’re ok with all of this, well ok I guess I’ll just keep burning through my fix
Chorus 1
Feeling like I’m broken, I take it all back just to give it all away again
God help me I’ve chosen to forgive and forget in this life or the next
Verse 2
Do you remember when we first started out? How we knew we had found everything that we want
Now I’m just another line in your face, coz you’re trying to replace everything that I love
And I’m a puzzle piece that just doesn’t fit, oh yeah it just doesn’t fit into the life that you live
Give up the ghost until you get what you give, I guess you’re giving this up because you’ve given enough
Chorus 2
Feeling like I’m broken, I take it all back just to give it all away again
Everything unspoken, let’s just forgive and forget in this life or the next
Time that you find me, I’ll embrace all the pain that I thought I’d never face again
God help me I’ve chosen to forgive and forget in this life or the next
Bridge
I’ve been thinking ‘bout the way we used to kiss, how it stuck on my lips, now it’s stuck on my lips
And I’ve been trying to forget all of this, yeah just forget all of this, yeah just forget it all
Chorus 3
Feeling like I’m broken, I take it all back just to give it all away again
Everything unspoken, let’s just forgive and forget in this life or the next
Time that you find me, I’ll embrace all the pain that I thought I’d never face again
God help me I’ve chosen to forgive and forget in this life or the next

Lipstick On A Corpse
04:29

Verse 1
Play by the rules, stay in the lines
Savor the taste while I waste all your time
Foiled and fooled by everything that I could never carry home
Lipstick on a corpse, you’re the heir to my throne
And I can’t explain what’s going on inside
Searching for some peace of mind, settle for a piece of you
Chorus 1
But I see you leading me into light
I knew the flesh and the bone would not suffice
I’m crawling my way back, cadence like a heart attack
Buried and born again
Verse 2
Safe in the cage, I’ll cradle my pain
Soil and seed lie in wait for the rain
Faith in the fire, embracing every breath until they all escape
I whispered a verse while you were cursing my name
And I can’t explain what’s going on inside
Searching for some peace of mind, settle for a piece of you
Chorus 2
But I see you leading me into light
I knew the flesh and the bone would not suffice
I’m crawling my way back, cadence like a heart attack
Buried and born again

Worn Out
05:03
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Within her open arms I’m ready to release myself
And resolve the pain that I could never let go of
Within a broken heart so restless, I can see myself
And recall the light that lies buried in shadows
Chorus 1
And if we both believe that we can be forgiven
We could find it in ourselves to just move on
Every word we’ve left unspoken, every door we’ve left unopened
I surrender, I don’t mind, I’m just a little worn out…
Oooh, I'm just a little worn out
Verse 2
And all my closest fears seem endless, see the peace I felt
As it falls away coz I could never replace you
And every chosen breath feels reckless, separate myself
As I shine a light on everything I ever was
Chorus 2
And if we both believe that we can be forgiven
We could find it in ourselves to just move on
Every word we’ve left unspoken, every door we’ve left unopened
I surrender, I don’t mind, I’m just a little worn out…
I'm just a little worn out
Bridge 1
And buried in my breath, the broken promises
Another stone cast on my heart
Bridge 2
Oh God! I should’ve never let go, instead I’ve buried us both
But now the seeds of our souls grow close
Chorus 3
And if we both believe that we can be forgiven
We could find it in ourselves to just move on
Every word we’ve left unspoken, every door we’ve left unopened
I surrender, I don’t mind…
And if we both believe that we can be forgiven
We could find it in ourselves to just move on
Every word we’ve left unspoken, every door we’ve left unopened
I surrender, I don’t mind, I’m just a little worn out…

Verse 1
I felt the fire inside you burn cold
A hell of a view and a heart to unfold
Lord take my body, but leave me my home
'Cause I can't abide by the sins I've atoned
Chorus 1
Something's missing, something's missing
Something's missing, and it's you
Verse 2
I've said it aloud, time and time, through and through
That I'd wait forever, if only for you
And Lord when that day comes, it won't be too soon
'Cause I've paid my penance, and redemption is due
Chorus 2
Something's missing, something's missing
Something's missing, and it's you
And I've tried to listen, but your silence fills the void
Between your cold indifference and me
Bridge
Call me a sinner, and I'll call you a liar
Sift through my bones on the funeral pyre
I'll cast my shadow while you scatter the ashes of our love
All over what once was
Verse 3
Lost in the darkness, searching for the light
'Twas there I beheld such a beautiful sight
Amidst the martyrs, a phoenix in flight
Held onto her wings, and surrendered the fight
Chorus 3
Something's missing, something's missing
Something's missing, and it's you
And I've tried to listen, but your silence fills the void
Between your cold indifference and me

Penny For Your Thoughts
03:42
|
|||
|
Verse 1
It happened on the way to the bathroom
The look in your eyes when I passed you…
You were just a tiny thing back then, now you’ve got your mother’s skin
A penny for your thoughts and a whisper
Tell me ‘bout the first time you kissed her
Did she kiss you back with your eyes closed? All the while letting me go…
Chorus 1
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
Was I really that bad? Was I? Was I?
Verse 2
So tell her ‘bout the first time I hurt you
And how you found a place inside yourself to hide from all that hell
Another story for a long night…
Now I’m just some wreckage in a dead sea
I’m buried by the waves as they break me
Just scatter my body on the ocean floor
Echoing a siren song across a dead shore…
Chorus 2
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
Wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
I don’t know, but I guess so, coz everything that starts has got to stop sometime
Chorus 3
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
Was I really that bad? Was I? Was I?
I don’t know, but I guess so, coz everything that starts has got to stop sometime

Little Old Me

Verse 1
Pay no mind to little old me
I’m following the wind but I’ve fallen in the sea
Your lover and you and the devil makes three
I’m gnawing on the bone coz I swallowed my teeth
Verse 2
Mama told me that I best move on
My friends all say that the fire’s all gone
But they don’t see the weight that I carry inside
It’s like swimming for the shore when you’re stuck in the tide
Chorus 1
I’m giving you time while you’re giving me up
I’m giving you space, are you getting enough?
And it don’t take much to make me stumble
I’m taking it day by day, still waking up to the same old thing
Breaking every part of me, I knew you’d always be…
Verse 3
You’re cutting me off and you’re kicking me out
I wallow in the fear while I’m drowning in doubt
And living like this ain’t living at all
It’s like running for the cliff while you’re cursing the fall
Chorus 2
I’m giving you time while you’re giving me up
I’m giving you space, are you getting enough?
And it don’t take much to make me stumble
I’m taking it day by day, still waking up to the same old thing
Breaking every part of me, I knew you’d always be…
Chorus 3
I’m giving you time while you’re giving me up
I’m giving you space, are you getting enough?
And it don’t take much to make me stumble
I’m taking it day by day, still waking up to the same old thing
Breaking every part of me, I knew you’d always be
A light too bright to see, a star too far to reach

Forevermore

Verse 1
I sat down and wrote you a letter, begging for a second chance
But I ain’t got no stamps
I filled out all the pages with words and pretty phrases
But you ain’t got no time for that
Instead, you’re moving on, driving east, singing along
To your brand new favorite song I’ve never heard
My restless young redeemer, oh boy, you should’ve seen her
Well I guess that we all get what we deserve
Chorus 1
Carry you inside my heart, carry you inside my soul
Carry you inside my blood, forevermore…
Verse 2
I sat down and wrote you a song, memorized the words to sing
But I ain’t got no strings
And even if I did I’m sure that I’d just fuck it up
Oh, I never knew when to keep my mouth shut
I hear you’re doing good with your new friends and neighborhood
Her new arms to hold you as you fall asleep
Me, I ain’t so well, I think everyone can tell
That I’ve lost the only thing I’s meant to keep
Chorus 2
Carry you inside my heart, carry you inside my soul
Carry you inside my blood, forevermore…
Bridge
Ohhh, your love’s an anchor inside of my soul
And I will carry you inside of this life, until the day I die
Ohhh, your love’s an anchor inside of my soul
And I will carry you inside of this life, until the day I die
Outro
I sat down and wrote you a letter, spelling out a slow goodbye
It was worth a try…
