Find You
02:16

I've got some time alone at night cause youre working til the weekend soon youll be back home
no matter how I lay my head
the position doesnt feel right
unrest fills this bed
when I think of all the words unsaid
I'm trying to find you in all the things I see
I'm trying to find you
and after all this time I can't get you off my mind but I'm trying to find you
to weak to face this on my own
I've got this mark around my neck and Im hoping I can hide it
no one needs to know
that I said I wished for you instead
I know a place where I can go when I'm lonesome its in between your arms and lay there and listen to everyone who turned their backs
watched them all as they collapse
let's move on

God Awful

I don't think I'll stay the night
cause things about you don't seem right and now I know without a question they make all the rules
take your pick, you have no options pray to God with all your problems did you think that he could solve them I know he can't
with our backs all up against the wall with no escape from the city
I know that things won't change
do your best to forget me
do your best to forget me do your best
cigarettes they stain my teeth
and my skin burns up from summer heat
I don't think I'll make it through the winter I know I won't
I know I won't
I hope the cameras break in place the news reporters blur my face to save you from the images
you won't see
I swear I've done all I can do
I made you proud, I fought it through but now it's time for you to go
and you won't see

In Between
02:54

the dead bolts on the door
the windows all locked shut
what did you end up there for?
so you told me to come pick you up and take you far away
I said okay
you are the one
you know things haven't changed
and I can't seem to say the things I want to say cause I know it's not alright to speak my mind
the mattress on the floor
you painted all the walls
the neighbors always waging war
what could all it mean
I can't balance in between
when the heat shut off and water leaked up from above your house so we spent our days up in your room till it no longer rained
we found a way
come with me
we'll go our own way
I cannot let you leave this time
I cannot let you leave
come with me
we'll go our own way
I cannot let you leave this time
I cannot let you leave
and all the things I've said
have somehow fucked me in the end

Even in Death
03:17

The truth escapes your lips
And it hits my ears
I see the image of
Your body laying in the ground
Was I not enough
Was I just too much
I see the image of
My body laying next to yours
Cause I am nothing now you're gone
Oh as the chorus goes
I'll write you into song
And as these words repeat
It’s keeping you alive
Can we decide our fate
With no ill intent
I see the image of
Everyone I know embrace again
Maybe there is no light
In your world of dark
I see the image of…
You’re safe and sound I promise
Your body’s free to live in peace
Oh as the chorus goes
I'll write you into song
And as these words repeat
It’s keeping you alive
Who am I without
The one I write about
Oh as the story goes
I’ll see you once again
The jewels that you left on the edge of your bed
I returned them to you like you asked
The rings and the bracelets will never go wasted
You’re beautiful even in death
The truth escapes my lips
And I hope you hear
I see the image of
One day we’ll love again

What's Your Big Idea?
03:13
|
|||
|
I'm not sure of anything anymore
And I'm not sure why no one is who they were
'Cause they've got time to kill
And they've got blood to spill together
But who are they to tell me right from wrong?
Hey, hey, hey, whatcha' runnin' from, man?
What's your big idea?
You're living your whole life asleep, man
What's your big idea?
Lord knows that I've wished for nothing else
And I won't ask for anything for myself
But they've got time to kill
And they've got blood to spill together
But I don't think they'll make it out alive
Hey, hey, hey, whatcha' runnin' from, man?
What's your big idea?
You're living your whole life asleep, man
What's your big idea?
Hey, hey, hey, whatcha' runnin' from?
Hey, hey, hey, whatcha runnin' from?
'Cause time waits for no one
It's the rush you chase but never seem to find
It's the knife that slips itself into your side
Can't forget my thoughts and all my memories
Of watching everyone fall right in front of me
Tell me that I'll change and prove to me I'm wrong
And we end up the same
Tell me that I'll change
'Cause I'm not sure at all
So why don't you just tell me, tell me
Hey hey hey whatcha' runnin' from?
Hey, hey, hey, whatcha' runnin' from?
'Cause time waits for no one, time waits for no one
It's the rush you chase but never seem to find
It's the knife that slips itself into your side
Time waits for no one
And you'll never get it back

We Won't Sleep
02:48
|
|||
|
Take everything that you own
Throw it into the fire
The rats will inherit what's left
They'll decorate and remodel
These rooms that were once
Where we rested our heads
Have crumbled and crashed to the ground
We won't sleep till the lights burn out
Just stay
(I won't give up, I won't fall)
We won't leave till the roof caves in
Just stay
Knocked off the king from his throne
Called a cheat and a liar
It's true but I'm much better dressed
Fashioned pain from another
These beds that were once
Where we nurtured our young
Have broken and bent from the love
We won't sleep till the lights burn out
Just stay
(I won't give up, I won't fall)
We won't leave till the roof caves in
Just stay
Bridge
So the time will come
When you ask yourself "What have I done?"
There's a place in hell for your friends
We are all doomed
And we are all doomed
And we are all doomed
And we are all doomed
We won't sleep till the lights burn out
Just stay
We won't leave till the roof caves in
Just stay
(I won't give up, I won't fall)
We won't sleep till the lights burn out
Just stay
(Just stay)
We won't give up, we won't fall
(Just stay)
We won't give up, we won't fall
We won't give up, we won't fall
(Just stay)
We won't give up, we won't fall

you walk in, I ask to take your coat your hands are shaking and you're freezing from the walk back home I know I shouldn't try to bring you back once more I can learn to speak up when I talk I can learn to listen when you speak real low I know I shouldn't try to bring you back once more this is it the final bow, the curtain call I studied all the lines I wrote could never play the starring role this is it it's time for me to bow my head and as I hear the crowd applaud I know that it's for you instead

we sit home and speak of a god we've never seen and wonder if he watches when we sleep or when I looked on Molly's desk and copied her whole sheet and oh I know I'm young to speak with such disdain an urgency so this is my confession I hope you listen will Saint Christopher bring me to my destination and bring us all back home am I alive I almost feel it riding the waves of all my demons I'll drift away we dressed all in black momma wears her makeup dark and talks so softly son one day you'll learn that everyone you know will leave never to return and oh a man so young taken way too soon from all he loved so this is my intention to break tradition could I give you myself to bring him back this instant and bring us all back home watched you fight with the darkness but you just couldn't win once so strong, full of power now fragile and thin I'll bring you back, oh I swear I can figure this out I know many have tried but I won't let you down I'm not afraid of the man I read about in the books the one that takes you away if you end it too soon I'll turn the darkness on me I'll travel up through the wind and if they don't open the gates I'll break my way in

suppose i've fallen to the point of no return would it mend by telling everyone I know what i've learned lost perception from all directions take this as my last confession are my hands to weak to break the ties you make one day you'll see it's the choice you make ties you make one day you'll see that all the moves we make are in the dark suppose that all the words I wrote were all for you would it mend by telling everyone you know that it was true lost connection from all intention take this as my last confession you're searching for truth and it will fail you again

Brave Faces Everyone

This is like emo Bruce Springsteen. Anthemic, but most importantly, channeling something of our collective experience so poetically real. I love that these angsty conventions can be used to rage (somewhat generally) against our screwed up society. This is rock and roll.
