Well I can tell that she is getting bored
But I don't really blame her
I know I need some work
But hail Mary
Tell me all the things you need
I could be the giver in your life
Well it's been awhile
I've been drinking and driving
Living and lying
If only you're sad
When it's cold and it's drab
I could help
Well I saw a stranger
It was the first time
And the last time as well
Well it's been awhile
I've been drinking and driving
Living and lying
If only you're sad
When it's cold and it's drab
I could help
For long drives home
With no air conditioning
With a lot to think about
It's a lot to think about

Slow down relax
Take your time
Make it last
All this time
is all mine
Well we are all alive
But we are all a lie
While the minute hand is taking it's turn
The hour hand's got nothing to burn
While we're taking our time to see
Why one and one don't equal three
All this time
is all mine
Well we are all alive
But we are all a lie

Sell Your Soul
04:23
|
|||
|
I watch the knife fall
On the crowd
Still no one makes a sound
And I can feel the pins in my back
You sit on your high throne
Thinking that you have won
But little do you know
The fight hasn't begun
Children sell your soul before it gets cold
Get on out of your head

She's Fine

I don't know why
I even try at all
I know you don't
Want to be mine at all
It's my fault
I've been alone for so long
Man it's nothing new
The ticking of the clock is counting down
Man it's down on you
I am you too
Completely confused
I want to be
Completely unity
You and me
I've been alone for so long
Man it's nothing new
The ticking of the clock is counting down
Man it's down on you

Deep Down
04:28

I sit in a room
Marked by the tomb
Of your fate
When all we can do
Is sit here and wait
When I got the news
I grabbed my shoes
And hit the ground running
If you felt the urge to leave
Would you wear on your sleeve
Or let it slip away
Cause I promise
This is the sleep that you can't shake
Are you still here
Would you whisper in my ear
Please don't go just stay
I can't relay
I can't relate
Please go slow and wait
Just stay
You've got to stay

Two Ghosts In Paradise
04:04
|

I'm in this trouble loop
From north to south
It's so hard to see
You're blank with lust
And your hollow needs
I know all the back alleys
I know the secret way
I guess I've been here too long
I guess I knew I'd never stay
Break your screens now
Nothing can come
From epiphany tongues
Go to hell
It might be hot
But all is well
I've known these noises with meanings
A vague description of myself
Your succession
Sealed my regression
My liberation
Was your oppression
Well your second plan was so bad
You forgot there was a first
All I ever wanted was the sun in my eyes
Then I realized we were
Two ghosts in paradise
What's a crutch to a leg
That can work just as fine on it's own
I have these sins
That I just won't atone
Cause I don't believe in god
So what could be wrong
All I ever wanted was the sun in my eyes
Then I realized we were
Two ghosts in paradise

Stalemate

|

|
Can you please tell
Your arms to lay themselves down
Because I'm tired of this fighting
And the light is dimming
I'm losing focus
Will they notice
That this won't amount to any change
Can't you see I'm falling
Can't you hear I am calling
Have you come just to watch me
Beg, kneel, pray
For you to let me go

You Without Me
05:21
|
|||
|
Fools will fall hard
As they all do
I'll take one for me
And none for you
It's not the chill that gets me
It's the wind that moves me
Around the room
Closer to you
All we are is shooting stars
Starting from the finish mark
This pill's been in your mouth for too long
The sugar coating is all gone
It's tough to swallow
With the rotten taste that follows
Two times is not enough
To call this love
But we are free
You without me
This pill's been in your mouth for too long
The sugar coating is all gone
It's tough to swallow
With the rotten taste that follows
Broken down on the floor
You've taken the biggest part of me
Standing on my own
Solving the puzzle inside of me
This pill's been in your mouth for too long
The sugar coating is all gone
It's tough to swallow
With the rotten taste that follows

Put on your best suit
Adjust your tie
Cause there's a slaughter out here tonight
Is that my reflection I see in your shoes
Or is it all that liquor and booze
I know you told me to be myself
But I am finding that's somebody else
I see the hunger in your stare
Loosen your grip
Then you sell me the air
I know you told me to be myself
But I am finding that's somebody else
How can you go live with yourself
She is a nice trophy on your shelf

The Traveler
03:52

|
I've been sleeping in Ohio
Setting sail for a dream
Don't know quite where I'm going
But that's the schizophrenia
Setting in on me
I live just like a hermit
Alone at last
Dan Hunter's words
Are ringing inside my head
Wishing I had more of a following
But I know I'd rather be in bed
I live just like a hermit
It's happening finally

Pain
04:45
|
|||
|
I feel the pressure in my head
In my hips
I wonder is this how a normal person feels
How a normal person deals with pain
Turn your fan on
Take some time
To write a song
That they can find meaning to
You've got nothing to prove
I feel the pressure in my head
In my hips
I wonder is this how a normal person feels
How a normal person deals with pain
The cards are stacking up this time
I've told you these things before
Things you chose to ignore
I feel the pressure in my head
In my hips
I wonder is this how a normal person feels
How a normal person deals with pain

New Beginnings

|
It's not clear why
I cry myself to sleep
Why are you here
In my dreams
And if that's not the case
I'm losing sleep over you
I'm going bankrupt
From all the time I've spent
Trying to think
Of somebody new
Maybe that's you
