Cement Ornaments 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Fuck synthetic happiness I'll cross that river when I get to it Until I get there, I'll think of the finer things in life Bon Voyage, I can smell your breath It once smelt good now smells like this You used to have me Now you're driving me away Read your mind like I read your lips Then i could have some fun with this If I could get there early, then we'd probably have some time The siren songs are calling me, "Just try it once and you'll be happy" Cement my feet or keep me hanging on the wall God forsake this broken land River of Lethe, build a dam Don't send me flowers when you are going for a swim Head is heavy with the thoughts Of your glass brain that someone knocked But I still will smile like I never heard a word Poison darts or poison hearts Either makes the motor start Tattoo my mind like the writings on the wall Rhapsody that worries me When you get off but don't tell me You just sit there with a smile on your face

He Done It Before 04:10
lyrics

Now's the time to wash the windows inside of my head And you'll see the things that I hate to talk about He done it again, it's the wash away sin (yea) With a slap on the wrist he'll figure it out When you hang with your friends, you'll set a new trend But you save your Sundays for someone else With the rocks and shells, strike the tolling bells So everyone else knows you're not around He done it before, which means he'll do it again Turn wine into water, hold your breath and flow right in Rip me apart now cuz I got the short end You can send my pieces into the bull pen You can slam all my fingers into your minivan Then you bandage me up in your sedan Do you think I have red carpet all over my back? Cuz you seem to be stepping on it a lot If you're seeing red, then take your meds You'll be much more pleasant to be around If home is where the heart is, I want to be Under house arrest in a house that isn't mine He done it before, which means he'll do it again Turn wine into water, hold your breath and flow right in Rip me apart now cuz I got the short end You can send my pieces into the bull pen The last thing on my mind is for something else to end up wrong Well, I'm to blame for everything, everything that's left

Velcro 04:16
lyrics
buy track
I want power but not responsibility You all hate me and it deeply worries me Lips and fingertips Small glass pieces still will rip holes in your velcro covered pants Wanna know how close I got? Close your eyes and take a shot And face me again Open your eyes Now I'll roll my windows up Cuz the fresh air is not enough Turn on the A/C, oh please for me Don't try to ease the pain Don't worry about a thing Don't try to ease the pain Don't worry about a thing You make me sad when you start to cry But I couldn't feel any better if I tried Rest assured, I'm just a needle in a haystack waiting to get picked up Desperately in the black holes of your eyes There are no checkpoints I don't know who you got that from Just keep walking, keep talking Make a different path Realize that all you want is all right there But you don't even care about a thing I have to offer But what if I could see life in a different point of view And you'll fall for me as I fell for you You'll see we're not all that different Just needed a little push A push in the right direction Don't try to ease the pain Don't worry about a thing Don't try to ease the pain Don't worry about a thing Don't try ease the pain Don't worry about a thing Don't try to ease the pain Don't try to ease the pain (Verse 1 and 2 combined)

Echoes 04:05
lyrics

You're in a room but not in mine What's a guy to do? Lost in space and lost in time A long way to the Moon And I see your face The same as the Sun Lost in space, lost in your eyes I'm the lonely one I don't wanna get wasted, erased, or find out what you've done I just can't wait till we're alone Alone Searching for the key that will Hold you into place Fighting all the thoughts that keep Getting in my way Resist the urge To take a different route Finding all the pieces is what it's all about I don't wanna get wasted, erased, or find out what you've done I just can't wait till we're alone Alone

Postcards 01:53
lyrics
buy track
I could sit around with my kangaroos and koalas Half way around the world in Australia You'll never see You'll never care You'll never know where the hell I've been so long But when I get back, I see how happy you are to see me How are you dear? In Tennessee, I'll see the bright lights shine on Beale Street Look out my plane, there's the High School I attended every single day Now no one cares Now no one knows Now no one asks where the hell I've been so long But when I get back, I'll show how happy I am to see you How are you dear? How are you dear? How are you dear? How are you dear? How are you dear?

Sand Castles 03:30
lyrics

You could make it like a walk right through the park and feed the birds You could make my head stay up all night with your words It's too easy to explain the way I feel about you "Some things aren't meant to change" Well I guess that's true And I'll never wash away Cuz I know you'll come back some day And what's unfinished, make an end Now things are oh so different I swear to God, if you talk to me Then it would make my day And you could say all the things that you wanted to say There's no better way to push me than from off a cliff i can feel the lump in my throat from when I start to trip And I'll never wash away Cuz I know you'll come back some day And what's unfinished, make an end Cuz now things are oh so different As our story still unfolds I found our bridge still has a troll When I'm with you I'll never shout We can face those scary looking clouds And I'll never wash away Cuz I know you'll come back some day And what's unfinished, make an end Now things are oh so different As our story still unfolds I found our bridge still has a troll When I'm with you I'll never shout We can face those scary looking clouds And I'll never wash away I know you'll come back to stay with me Maybe in a year or two I'll wait for you

Back Where I Belong 03:28
lyrics

Take a look into my window Dreams are meant to hope Poor your darkness into my cup You need some cheering up Satisfy necessity You can beat me up Strip me down from head to toe I need to get back home I need to get back home Back where I belong Just live life, walk on your knees Who cares you can't see Pay the loan when it's your turn You were always warned No, not me, I'll never tell About this Demon's hell Strip me down from head to toe I need to get back home I need to get back home I need to get back home I need to get back home Back where I belong Step on all those crumbled leaves, My Insanity Is gone with all your fucking lies No reason to try Or catch my breath or wait for you But you always knew Strip me down from head to toe I need to get back home I need to get back home I need to get back home I need to get back home Back where I belong

Lackluster 03:08
lyrics

Wanna rip my heart right out my chest? I'm sure you know what's best for me I can't see with the branches in my face I won't leave a trace so you wouldn't know that I was here Oh dear, I'm so foolish But you know this Wish you would notice me How'd you manage to break my cast? I really thought this one would last Guaranteed, in my my dreams I still can't sleep at night So think twice and wonder how it feels when you're not here Oh dear, I'm so foolish But you know this Wish you would notice me And you're seven feet under my skin And it feels like you keep digging in To a place where you were once before You leave me just wanting more Oh dear, I'm so foolish
