I keep your shadow on my wall in a frame
The room is dark, shallow, with windows leaking rain
I'm inside you, parasitic to your brain
Sweet love is spilling down the drain
Sweet love
I thought I'd find you, sweet love
I almost had you, sweet love
I couldn't catch you, sweet love
I thought I'd find you
I'm seeing fire coming out of your eyes
I'm seeing fire
I missed the last train
I'll find another way home

When all of this is over I will try
to start shaking off these candy-coated lies
I'll show you what I really want
Top down with all hell before our eyes
kitty corner from the store of my demise
I'll show you what I really want
I hope no one has the heart to save me
I'll have ya if I really want ya
Shake hands and then we'll catapult our ties
stop searching for a reason we're alive
I'll show you what I really want
Looks back with a smile, I can't hide
Caught that in the corner of my eye
I'll show you what I really want
I hope no one has the heart to save me
I'll have ya if I really want ya
White coats told me take it easy
tried that but nothing better frees me
Hung back to make sure no one sees me
Choked on the guilt that left me breathing
Held tight to everything that haunts me
and I can't close my eyes because my mind is racing
Shake hands and then we'll catapult our ties
stop searching for a reason we're alive
I'll show you what I really want
Looks back with a smile, I can't hide
Caught that in the corner of my eye
I'll show you what I really want
I hope no one has the heart to save me
I've been feeling all kinds of crazy
only when I'm with you my baby

Follow the Illusion

I cannot be the one you knew and grew to love
Those ticking hands caught speed again
it wore me down dull
I cannot see what lies ahead this broken road
We'll meet again in hell my friend
and stop feeling cold
Take time to stare into the eyes of fractured souls
There's more to learn, there's more to feel
when life's taken toll
My shivered hands reach for the land of joy and hope
This rugged sea of bitter dreams takes me down whole
I walked into this trap with you
I'll always be the one to say
to say that I told you so
I've never shown this side to you
removed my mask and dropped the charade
I cannot be the one you knew and grew to love
Those ticking hands caught speed again
it wore me down dull
I cannot see what lies ahead this broken road
We'll meet again in hell my friend
and stop feeling cold

Long Way Home

It's nice to see you learned to start again
Ignite the matches to burn the city that burdened you
Scared to be the one who finds the end
First to drown into the pity that conquers you
Dodge the arrows sent from filthy pens
Crack a grin and wrap your wounds in gauze and glue
You wish to feel yourself outside your skin
Pull away until your feelings wander to
Snap the stems, they'll grow right from the bend
Turn away and come right back, they're fully bloomed
Compunction lingers until the bitter end
Learn to function with the sunken eyes of blue
You talk alone inside your pretty head
Cremate opinions and pass the judgements that follow you
Slur the words you always truly meant
Find the courage to move you further the past of you
All this time stuck in a rut
release and then cast the hook
For all the blinds that bled the sun,
well here's to you moving on
The breath dissolves the taste of loaded guns
it carries on into a place where we belong
The path is clear once we exceed the past
we light the wicks that destroy the world that made us fools

Kitchen Talk

Tossed and turned, I think I've lost a connection
I found a light in the moments I bleed
Gather bones into a perfect collection
Find a closet, let the skeletons breed
A stranger stares when I see my reflection
Turning stones that leave me no kind of lead
Paving roads without a sense of direction
Look alive, lock the cage on your fear and explode
Sinners raise your glass I have a confession
My rowdy bones tickles, shaking like leaves
Howled tones out of blurry complexion
Gentleman, steady hands, aim with ease
and unload
A night is on the rise to swim in dangerous seas
while we're floating in the skies to momentary relief because
when a cloud of bliss decides to rain it will pour
just leave us a fog of hope
Another morning and I'm riddled with questions
Dim the lights, I have no place to be
Puzzle pieces lost, I'm left here with sections
Home alone feeling sick of the greed that implodes
A night is on the rise to swim in dangerous seas
while we're floating in the skies to momentary relief because
when a cloud of bliss decides to rain it will pour
just leave us a fog of hope
Red-handed caught in a barbed wire fence
but I cannot sympathize if I see no threat
This war zone leads me straight into a safe part of town
My flight's landed onto a hardwired sense
and I cannot synchronize all these feelings just yet
Shift to neutral, shove me down the hill
and just let me roll
A night is on the rise to swim in dangerous seas
while we're floating in the skies to momentary relief because
when a cloud of bliss decides to rain it will pour
just leave us a fog of hope
We all got something to hide
Not all pretty underneath
A death letter's folded inside
A party that you cannot leave

Loathing

Marching with the herd
they slave on their own
Dropping any thought within the ring of a tone
Racing out the clock to wear out their hands
dreaming of the days they had their feet in the sand
I do
want to
take the bullet for you anyway
Let's see
clearly
you know I'm not the one you're waiting for
Operator error, there's nothing to see
Head is spinning like you wouldn't believe
Take this only with a grain of the salt
Sit there smile while I wait in the dark
Scratched the surface 'til my fingers would bleed
hanging onto hope that holds the weight of the sea
Ring the service bell I'm ready for bed
dreaming of the days I couldn't see only red
I do
want to
take the bullet for you anyway
Let's see
clearly
you know I'm not the one you're waiting for
Operator error, there's nothing to see
Head is spinning like you wouldn't believe
Take this only with a grain of the salt
Sit there smile while I wait in the dark
Pack up 'cause I'm ready to leave
different people, other places to see
Dragged down when I'm ready to go
different places, other people to know
Marching with the herd
they slave on their own
Dropping any thought within the ring of a tone
Racing out the clock to wear out their hands
dreaming of the days they had their feet in the sand
I do
want to
take the bullet for you anyway
Let's see
clearly
you know I'm not the one you're waiting for
Operator error, there's nothing to see
Head is spinning like you wouldn't believe
Take this only with a grain of the salt
Sit there smile while I wait in the dark

Familiar Strangers
07:48

I shiver in the warmth
and hide away from all my friends
The birds they sing so comfortably
I sink into the bed
I'm trapped inside myself I
try to escape but I keep
circling and wandering until I lose my brain
I've learned
to see
a better way
It's time
to breathe
and clear the air
My mind
it feels
so tiredly awake
The distance feels okay to me
I know they're all just fine
Ceiling waves and shuffled feet
I've lost my sense of time
A strange approach follows the
door opening
I hear the rude abrasive shouts
and static waves float in the air
I've learned
to see
a better way
It's time
to breathe
and clear the air
My mind
it feels
so tiredly awake
I'm wide awake
my spine is tickling down to my fingertips
I'm dead asleep
the pressure on my head is killing me
I wanna break
I'll find a way
I've learned
to see
a better way
It's time
to breathe
and clear the air
My mind
it feels
so tiredly awake

Crooked

Cut the corners just so I could see
there's no turning point or tracing back
Took our seed to bury underneath
Grew it tall and then I found my axe
I wanna see you smile, running back, but I don't know
Maybe we just drifted out too far
Bite my tongue and lock my cheeks
Ruminate until I never sleep
Take this from me
as far as it goes
It takes a fool to want to notice me
Train of thought is never holding back
Taste and swallow down the master key
I hope my head is just a circus act
I wanna see you smile, running back, but I don't know
Maybe we just drifted out too far
Bite my tongue and lock my cheeks
Ruminate until I never sleep
Take this from me
as far as it goes
It takes some sour time to find the sweet
Give these heads a chance to fall and roll
It took so many guts, I couldn't eat
My brain's on fire
I think it's about to blow
I wanna see you smile, running back, but I don't know
Maybe we just drifted out too far

Until We Meet Again
03:16

The silence has broken,
abide all your laws
I found you a carriage
to carry your flaws
I'll build you this city
and leave you my ghost
all of this time I've been here taking notes
When you're feeling alone
I will send you a call
A voice that will echo
through desolate halls
I'll build you this city
and leave you my ghost
all of this time I've been here taking notes
With a thread and a needle
I made you these clothes
A ladder to climb
when you're spirits are low
I'll build you this city
and leave you my ghost
all of this time I've been here taking notes
And I'm back
back in the scene
with an axe
for the trees
Well I'll build you this city,
a fire for warmth,
a place you can hide when you fear the unknown
I found you here sleeping
with letters I wrote
Soften your breathing,
the storm will soon go
I built you this city,
and left you my ghost
I'm back from the road
I will carry your load

Sunburn

Stale to the taste
I know your conscience is real
I never dwell on the past
my senses gave up on feel
Taking your time
while I'm losing my mind
I keep my patience in line,
wrapped up and safely sealed
Take back the sun,
bring in the firestorm and
leave what you love
I've got nothing to prove
and I've got nothing to do
so I'm staying awake
I've got nothing to lose,
and I've got nothing to do
so I'm staying
Awake
Awake until the sun beats down on my head
well I'm staying
Awake
Awake until this run sees down to the end
well I'm staying
Awake
Can't finish the race,
my motivation is ill
but I won't settle for last
so coat my bones in some steel
Taking your time
while I'm losing my mind
I keep my patience in line,
wrapped up and safely sealed
Take back the sun,
bring in the firestorm and
leave what you love
I've got nothing to prove
and I've got nothing to do
so I'm staying awake
I've got nothing to lose,
and I've got nothing to do
so I'm staying
Awake
Awake until the sun beats down on my head
well I'm staying
Awake
Awake until this run sees down to the end
well I'm staying
Awake
