Ever-clear
03:53
|

As we sit here in the ever clear
And we talk about nothing at all
I say the future cant control us
You say that fate will come around one day
Constantly these things keep changing
Nothing ever seems to sit still
We search for lasting happiness
But everything I touch turns to grey
How do you stand tall
And what are we living for
I want to see you up there
Making this life count
Hello my old friend again
Its nice to see you've grown up somehow
You were on the edge last night
I know this because I was there too
As you sat there you were blankly staring
At the monster you had become
We talk about the pictures lasting
But everything I touch turns to grey.

Going Out
02:55
|
|||
I'm always going out
Every Friday night with you
You made me turn around
Thoughts and feelings of what I felt I needed to do
Businesses shutting their doors
Whenever I'm around
Constantly begging for more
But I'm face down on the ground
And I never wanted any of this
You might have to feel it
You will be uncomfortable
Did you know that I'm sick
The radiation's full
And I never wanted any of this
I say I'm going blind
But the misery is eye opening to me
I take the pain as sign
When I trip over my own feet
This world has everything to lose
The end will come around
Losing focus and drowning in the booze
They say you are a hound

These kids like ones before
Playing in the backyard their playing with sticks
And their all so bored
They've got their whole lives ahead
But they'll never know
Something came back that day
And it left a whole
Sirens wrang
And the mothers cried
As they drew their conclusions
Monsters inside men
They wanted to relive
And now its time to go
Something came back that day
and it left a hole
Something came back that day
And it left a great big hole
Where were you When they needed you
Is it all my fault should I be their too
Skipping rocks
In another time
If childhood is empty
And mothers drink plenty
Fathers are never home
Kids write their ending
As if death was trending
Im fitted as the perfect one
Ive reached my conclusion
This is all a delusion
And I dont want to be scared
Something came back that day
And it left a hole
Something came back that day
And it left a great big hole
The last few days you ran away
For good reason and for pity's sake
The last few days you ran away
For good reason and for pity's fuckin sake

Come Over
04:15
|

Squeezing
Squeezing so tightly
I've been meaning
To recognize you nightly
And the demons
They whisper in my ear
Hearts are gleaming
As the shadows render near
And I wonder
Do you see them at all
And the timing
Is getting me wrong
Come over to me
Let me show you what I can see
They don't exist just in my dreams
Come over to me
I'm complaisant
Complaisant and thoughtful
Can you see them
Of course how could you not know
Lacking reason
My choice could leave me dead
Keep on hearing
These voices in my head
And I wonder
Do you see them at all
And the timing
Is getting me wrong

I Go
02:55
|
|||
Well they come around at night
And talk to me so smooth
I have let you down
But I don't want to let you lose
They ask me where I've been
I've travelled a milling miles
Much time I will spend
Children were running through the Isles
Where can I go
Is there anything I should know
My mind will not stay
Maybe this one will be the day
I bought us a ship
We'll Sail away to hell
But the water's all dried up
Its not the worst thing I can tell
I thought you were my friend
But you stabbed me in the back
The ink inside my skin
Painting pictures of all of the things I lack

Humans Do

Pack up my shit
And move me far away
Lets make a toast
To later days
Will you find this
When I am dead and gone
Its not that hard you know
Just look beneath the song
Should I seek love
Like other humans do
Keep my heart closed
then there's nothing to lose
I'm broken wide
I'll take my time
I'll sit and sigh
Like other humans do
I've fractured my mind
Take a step to the right
I'm going blind
like other humans do
One last hit
I swear that I'll be good
Did you look back
No I didn't know I could
Macho man
And little blue lagoon
Baby wolves
there all just howling at the moon
An escape plan
There's nothing to fear
Hold it in oh yeah
Until we reach the clear

Walking Away
03:28
|
|||
Left alone to my own devices
Lay awake I cant sleep
Creeping up my spine as it entices
Close my eyes for a dreary night
Second chances no they don't come often
Personally I am weak
There's no moisture that could even soften
Shattered hearts on a winters night
Quit walking away
From the way you want us to go
Nothing has changed
And the bright sunlight has painted you gold
Quit walking away
From the way you want us to go
Hearts rearrange
And the diamonds slowly leaving your soul
Losing sight from the light that's blinding
Lose my mind when you speak
Always searching but I'm never finding
Hostile winds that could end it all
Contemplation look at where its got me
All this thinking does not good
Do you love me all you say is hardly
Will I find someone to bring me home

Honey
04:07
|
|||
How can I take you standing there
What do I make of your shining hair
How will I understand I'm dead
Is it the only way to ask you why you
Treat me so bad
Honey I'm coming back to you
And I'm gunna treat you poorly
As if ill take my time and cut you slowly
Watching all those bloody tears you cry and I
Honey I'm coming back to yo and I'll
Talk to you when the winter's over I'll
Cradle you because you're frozen
But the smile on your face is forever golden
How can I make you realize
What di you make of my bloodshot eyes
Did you see me at my best
Or was the bad side always on the outside
I would never pass the test

Found Here
02:53
|
|||
Overdose saved my life
Comatose For this I'll Strive
Consequences Not desired
Over fences till I'm tired
What have we found here
Burning flesh to become stars
Flashing lights and shining cars
Will we ever get to mars
Get too rich and die on bars

Abandoned rows
03:53
|
|||
I swear I don't hate you too much
You put on my heart so long ago
I'm okay with staying high
Inside your minds abandoned rows
If you tried on
My broken heart
If you take off
With my only love
My mama said
We're all lost men
My mama said
We're all lost men
I kinda like walking in the dark
Eat me alive old skins ill shed
Are you alright my dearest friend
You fall asleep there in your bed

Undone
03:03
|
|||
And I'm walking alone walking alone
And the streets have all run dry
And I'm talking to my talking to myself
But self is such a lie
And I wonder if after all
The troubles that brought our fall
How heartless you must have been
The sweet lies within our sin
And I'm Playing a tune playing a tune
And its lonely without the birds
And I'm jumping for joy jumping for joy
But I cant seem to reach the sky
Would you express to me your pain
The day we met in acid rain
The blankest stare I've ever fuckin seen
I've got these lines to read in between
|

Outside
01:32
|
|||
I saw you around the bend
No mystery what happened then
Stayed over a couple nights
Then we melted into each others lives
I knew you were a ghost
That's why you were the one I wanted to help the most
When its time to retire
Let my bones be your funeral pyre
