Never... 03:42
I am a scared man, I am lost I lost the meaning and I can’t count the cost They said to be anything except for myself If that’s the case I’ll be somebody else I am the man I don’t want to be I know this world is no home for me I can’t get back, Ive strayed from the road I’ll do what I can because I can’t go home I dropped my diamond for a dime, and left it there on my shelf I wear my heart on my sleeve and keep my thoughts to myself I needed someone to take me home But when I called no one answered, what do you know. what do I know? And I hope you understand that you’re all better off without me And I hope you know it hurts to know you’re happy Just because I’m leaving, doesn't mean I don’t believe you It just doesn’t matter anymore, nothing matters anymore So if my plane crashes tonight, I hope you know that you were right about me about everything Paint me black and blue and tell me smile, lighten up Every step I took this year was another step towards giving up My diamond dropped me like a dime, said take the time enjoy the view And then she blacked out all my windows so now I sleep all afternoon I hope that one day you learn to believe, that this was never about me And just because you’re leaving doesn’t mean I don’t believe you It just doesn’t matter anymore, nothing matters anymore So if my plane crashes tonight, I hope you now that you were right about me About everything

At the Stake 04:33
We’re getting left behind When I was young I was told that I could do anything But these lies deceived I was never meant to be more than a candle left unlit When I was older I was told, the world is on your shoulders Good luck with it You really should just go, you should just leave this world behind And I find that in the darkness no one sees The hate in my eyes for the ones I despise, as you watch me capsize And when I turn to dust, there will be nothing left to hide Nothing left to find, except My way up out from underneath this cloud But it follows me, I would never be set free Allowed to leave these thoughts behind And you’re there behind me to strike me down You marched me into down, so you can burn me down Burn me At The Stake And I find that in the darkness no one sees The hate in my eyes for the ones I despise, as you watch me capsize And when I turn to dust, there will be nothing left to hide Nothing left to find, except Stay the course Screams the captain, they can hear me drowning But the ship holds it’s course just fine The captain goes down with the ship But the ship’s not the problem, I’m on my own to solve them And I don’t think there’s much time left The ship sprung a leak but they’re all on the deck They won’t even know it they’re already dead

Coloradio 04:10
Red Rocks park, it's getting dark, it's getting hard to grow apart She's got one hand on my face, the other squarely on my heart And I left my mind up in the clouds And I know the lies that I hear, because they used to be ours She's singing love from her lips, and writing hate on her arms And I asked where she was when I found her father She's down there by the creek he said, she's walking on the water But I don't want to be the one to see What this place will take from me I'm on the run now, Whoa. So I hit it harder, and the worry fades away But i'm not sure where I'm going, I've been trapped in here for days And I heard the nation is in an uproar I don't want to start a revolution, I want to be it I want you people to hear what I'm saying, and believe it 'Cause i got to Atlanta in a van at 3 a.m. And when I get back to the rockies i'm not coming back again I see the mountains in my dreams, it feels like home I'm begging please Take me in out of the cold I'm way too drunk I can't see straight, threw all my Shit out in the street And now it's time to go Skate weather, and a wild west high noon They're coming for me like a trophy like a shiny new tattoo but I won't be there when they arrive So I'm here at my rock, with a lion at my side I've got a place to come home to, and when I arrive It'll be like i was never even gone (We left our hearts in denver, we left our hearts but we'll live one We left our hearts up in the mountains, we'll be back before too long)

Violate 03:32
Bring me back to life I’m tired of laying here, below just out of sight Tell me I’ll forget, just one more time These keys above my bed, were always rusted and entangled And the kind words that you said were like a noose hung from my hangups But Luca has foreseen in me For him, the great enemy The one who haunts my waking hour You smell like burnt leaves You look like death in a hoodie And a rule to violate You smell like ether Death in a red dress let the dead rest You violate, You violate And so I shot the children first They stared me down and they stuck around In the ashes I inhaled And now i’m buried to my neck in grains of golden gorgeous death They asked me to protect and I have failed But Luca has foreseen in me For him, the great enemy The one who haunts my waking hour You smell like burnt leaves You look like death in a hoodie And a rule to violate You smell like ether Death in a red dress let the dead rest You violate, You violate And the kid said that you wrote him a letter You can keep cutting up, but we know you’re not cut for the weather And I can’t stop it because the rain is all i know If you’re gonna leave just go, If you’re gonna leave just go You smell like burnt leaves You look like death in a hoodie And a rule to violate You smell like ether Death in a red dress let the dead rest You violate, You violate

Is there something listening? The claws in my chest are pulling me out towards dawn And I am not the man I saw on the postcards He is sleeping in and I am gone Oh the membrane held For sixteen years Sleep eludes me like answers My prayers, they go unanswered Is there ever time to sleep where I won’t dream about The sword that I will fall on one day When you no longer sleep Fitfully or at all I no longer dream But then I wake up screaming This blood on my hands is the reason I keep calling out your name Breath leaves your lungs for the last time As i turn tail and run Oh the membrane fell as she called out my name once again Sleep eludes me like answers My prayers, they go unanswered Is there ever time to sleep where I won’t dream about The sword that I will fall on one day When you no longer sleep Fitfully or at all I no longer dream If I could find my peace with god then maybe he would show me the way But I have taken what is his and you are here to stay I no longer dream. (But for now I’ll dream) Your face is blood, your heart is blood, your fear is blood and your love is blood i felt like blood (Something, idk cant remember this whole part) Blue dream october, search dearly for closure since it’s the last thing that you’ll ever do. As you burned all the matches and crawled through these ashes we’ll do whatever we do, when you’re not around. My heart’s in the ground with my head in the clouds and an eyeful of sounds. The storm is now over, but there’s nothing, no closure there’s nothing. So I hope it was worth it. I’m gonna watch you burn, I’m gonna call this off I’ll put you in the ground and then I’ll watch the clock You leave me behind, far better with heart Screaming it’s alright before I tear you apart Pointed to the sun, it has lost its touch I used to dream in lights now maybe not so much

Is Not 04:08
The day that I realized I was worthless was the day before you showed me how much i deserve this This hole in my life where you could have gone Is the place my heart would stay if god, granted me one I have these dreams but what are they good for? I’m missing the soul I would sell to lucifer I’m not eve here, this world is not a home for me. Oh yeah. I’m a third of my plan and only half way here Which makes me ten percent hate, and ten percent fear And I am aware it’s not how life’s supposed to be I don’t think you understand That I had one goal in life with no backup plan And I realize now, happiness is not for me Oh yeah. Take me away I have these dreams but what are they good for? Not a thing I have these dreams, but what are they good for? This world is not a home for me.

'94 03:20
I call monday’s, she can’t think straight Why do I always want more? Poured her bottle out on the driveway to keep her head up off the floor Now i’m checking in at six A.M. maybe we’ll both be dead by then But I don’t think so. This ’94 Mirage has got some fight left in it. Don’t stop the car, I don’t want to go Saint Lacey screams to drive alone I don’t need the help but I want it I don’t need the help but I’ve got it A dream a job and a record and I don’t no where to start So baby please, before we get too far And when I fly through the window at least they can’t take me back I spent twenty years of this life, doing things I would never take back I went to sleep on springs and I woke up on nails again And they’ve got me pinned. (But not down, so) Don’t stop the car, I don’t want to go Saint Lacey screams to drive alone I don’t need the help but I want it I don’t need the help but I’ve got it A dream a job and a record and I don’t no where to start So baby please, before we get too far At the bottom of the sea Burning in the streets Buried under wreckage I’ve been told belongs to me We live alone we die alone we live life on credit We say goodbye and then we die we live to regret it

So let’s figure this out, I know your life is complicated And you don’t know how to face it when the windows close you’ll find Your feet on the ground when the world’s upside down And I swear that you’ll find what you’re looking for And she said why write on paper when you’ve got your skin? All you need to start is some ink and a pen You can blame your parents, you can even blame yourself But you know that in the end you wouldn’t want to be anything else But if you run away, you’ll be gone and soon forgotten And if you run their way, you’ll be right back where you started So let’s figure this out, I know your life is complicated And you don’t know how to face it when the windows close you’ll find Your feet on the ground when the world’s upside down And I swear that you’ll find what you’re looking for By the way, you’re defined by your actions What’s in your heart only goes so far And good intentions don't mean anything at all If they don’t make you who you are And maybe those people out there, they just don’t care about you But you know so much more about yourself than they do

Sicillian 04:09
They’re burning all my books and i’m hopeless in need of shelter My thirst has been quenched but i’m dying of hunger So I lay in this field in wait for you to arrive, to tell me i’m late Because I’ll always be two big steps behind you And i’m trapped in your spell And it just wont break And i don’t think i’m well If i hide myself from the sun would it rise for you? I’ll do the right thing if it’s the last thing i do I can see you, a shape on my horizon I’m lost without your warmth, I’ve been freezing in your garden I’m drawn out to the sea by the fondest memories I float through your skies but i’m drowning in your ocean And i’m trapped in your spell And it just wont break And i don’t think i’m well If i hid myself from the sun would it rise for you? I’ll do the right thing if it’s the last thing i do When the fallout begins I will climb my rock, and blow it into the wind And i get to the end I will save you a spot, so I can have a friend Can you save me from the cold? I can’t save you from the cold.

Day One 03:44
Day one it’s begun She’s got it out for me Cracked a smile out on the balcony She says she’ll never fall. She says she never falls. Day 93 and she says that she loves me It hangs in the air like the clouds above me She tries to stay awake, I stay until she fades She says that time will take you closer but It may not take you home She says it’s time to say just what she wants to hear or we both end up alone Day one it’s begun, they’ve got it out for me He lights a camel bold on the balcony, Says you know it’s not that bad, it’s really not that bad And there’s a woman who sits on her porch with her pack of black diamonds and her salem torch She loves to watch her eyelids, to be her own downfall At the bottom of a river between two worlds there is a dead eyed boy and a black lunged girl And they will meet, with an air of defeat they’ve never known This won’t last and she won’t say, that our breath won’t hold for one more day So why can’t a just go home? (They’re out to get me They’re out to) There are two, with eyes in the room and no one in the river would have ever assumed That last nights prince was this night’s pauper (And the mother realizes she can’t find her daughter) And they start to panic as the call goes out but she’s already gone there’s no help now (The two are gone and I was wrong) And we got left out in the cold At the bottom of a river between two worlds There are two lost souls and my whole worlds The cycle has completed and I’m back now to day one.

Weatherford 04:03
I think this might be it, the god of war is staring at me He says I should just quit, and let my bones float out to sea He says my time is up. And i’d tend to agree It’s just that I feel so stuck when there’s so little left of me So if you wake up in the morning things won’t ever be the same I’m done denying this feeling that’s been running through my veins You said no one would care on the night that you left us, But who am I supposed to love, when you move bak to Texas? I can’t move on this time, I tried to convince myself I don’t need you in my life But when I close my eyes I see you they say Texas stars don’t shine quite the same And i’m pretty sure you’re the reason that’s what they say I can’t hear a thing except this ringing in my ears It feels like fire in my bones, it tastes like all my worst fears The thunder outside is there to tell me what comes next I know the things I used to hold so dear, I know they’re never coming back

...Ending (free) 05:29
We’re breaking down again Call me death, call me anger Call me desperately in love I hate you too, I hate your touch so cold Don’t touch me again. Don’t touch me. We’re breaking down again Cut my hair and change my name Tell me, now you fit the part There’s a stranger in my shoes again He’s always looking down on me It looks like we’re the holocaust kids with our backs up against the wall I hope you know that this is over (Oh god please say that it’s over) You know I can’t go on pretending, that this is never ending If i can make it through October than i’ll be fine i swear to god I didn’t need this, I just needed someone It’s starting to feel like I don’t have friends Just people that haven’t let me down yet And this year has been a rough one but I think I made it through I think I need a heart transplant so that my body will reject you And I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever be whole again It looks like we’re the holocaust kids with our backs up against the wall I hope you know that this is over (Oh god please say that it’s over) You know I can’t go on pretending, that this is never ending (I’ll forget the way this made me feel) Move back to Texas or Cali wherever you want to be Drop out of school and be the failure that you want to be No one cares what you do, just stay away from me We’re breaking down again, pull my hair and shout my name And say you never fit the part, someone better will replace you soon Don’t touch me again. Don’t touch me. I am a free man, I am young I found the truth on the tip of my tounge I refuse to be anyone else For better or worse I am only myself I am whatever I want to be I know this world is no home for me I’ve done what I can, took my time to roam I understand I can do this on my own But i’m not in this alone
