Bruises

I picture myself on a one way road
Leading down a hole where my heart was blown
And the wind, whips right by
I was destined for a lonely ride
Until your silhouette went and caught my eye
And your voice it soothed my soul
Black satin skies and a midnight moon
A place to rest your head and a sheet to cover you
It's alright, this is your disguise
Now I'm driving real slow almost out of time
Every other lane is moving faster than mine
It's too late, that moon's gone down
Bruises healing to green
Tree leaves dying to give birth to spring
Stir my, stir my soul
and boil my, boil my blood, you boil my blood
I was staring too long, at the screen
My legs are numb and I can't
Feel my heartbeat anymore oh no
Well there's a knock at the door and the silence breaks
Could this be my chance to get away
Who could it be at my door
Sleep with, sleep with me
In our fallen canopy
Summer nights and winter dreams
The beauty that you never see
You'll never see.

If I Could
03:09

There’s this weight that is pressing down
Knee in my back, face to the ground
I’m giving in, don’t need to be free
Accepting the pain it brings some relief
If I could, you know I would, stop what I started
If I could, you know I would, do what I wanted
There’s a chain wrapped around my neck
Forged each link with my own hands
All those warnings and I never listened
I’m getting used to wearing this restriction
If I could, you know I would, stop what I started
If I could, you know I would, do what I wanted
There’s a pick and shovel in my hands
To dig this hole while I still can
I hope that death will make me free
But these desires keep haunting me
If I could, you know I would, stop what I started
If I could, you know I would, do what I wanted

Life with a View

somehow, i don't see you here
funny how the years go by
seven now, but why keep track
why do i keep track, can't get it back
brothers once for what it's worth
on different roads it could never work
parallel, i have to prove
where is all the proof, it's in your mind
driving nowhere just because
broken hearts and smoking lungs
looking back on the setting sun
belongs to us even though it's gone
sweat them out, all your fears
the sun is up to dry your tears
move up north, don't say goodbye
never say goodbye, until you die
driving nowhere just because
broken hearts and smoking lungs
we'll remember just in time
forgive ourselves to make it right
driving nowhere just because
broken hearts and smoking lungs
looking back on the setting sun
belongs to us even though it's gone

Just Let Go
03:08

I need to clean up my life
Go through things and throw them out, just let go
I need to love my wife
Forget about how she treated me, just let go
When I wake in the morning I feel like spit
I can’t shake this feeling, I’m tired of it
What can I change, what can I throw away to make things better
What can I change, what can I throw away to take the pain away
I would never ever complain
If it gets too hard I’ll walk away, just let go
It should be a simple thing
To break the habits I accumulate, just let go
When I wake in the morning I feel like spit
I can’t shake this feeling, I’m tired of it
What can I change, what can I throw away to make things better
What can I change, what can I throw away to take the pain away
Just let go

Your Door
03:36
|
|||
|
Broken chains and broken hearts
You know what you were getting into from the start
No wonder we’re apart
Burned out lights and silent bells
There’s no way for me to tell you where I am
Or that I’m coming home
Floating on this black water
Echoes of your sweet laughter
It calls me to where I think I need to be
When I reach your darkened door
Will it be a safe harbor
Or will I be sent back out to sea
Smoking guns and cigarettes
There’s no way that I expect you to forget
The damages I’ve done
There is no absolution
There is no way for me to escape
The promises I’ve made
Floating on this black water
Echoes of your sweet laughter
It calls me to where I think I need to be
When I reach your darkened door
Will it be a safe harbor
Or will I be sent back out to sea

There's No Way
02:24
|

There’s no way that you can say that you love me
I know why I just can’t cry anymore about you
Why can’t we let it go, why can’t we move on
This just goes to show that love can’t conquer all
I’m at your door so don’t ignore my knock, knock, knocking
On the phone you’ll never know if you don’t answer
There’s so much we could say and things we need to hear
We’ve gone our separate ways and love can’t bring us near
I’m kind of scared that you don’t care, come on now show me
You say you do but it can’t be true, there’s lies all around me
Our tank is less than half full, with too many miles to go
We’ll never make it down this road and I’ll be walking home soon.

I'm the One
03:48

I’m the one with the broken heart
No way to fix it before it falls apart
The only thing that’s good for me
Is the love you took away
I’m the one who made you cry so hard
The things I said they were just the start
Indifference and laziness
You’re the love I pushed away
I’m the one who left you standing there
Hoping for a sign that said I cared
Loneliness and shattered dreams
You're the love I pushed away
I’m the one who chose this path to take
Realizing now it was just a mistake
Collecting all of these regrets
About the love I threw away

Little Bird

Oh, little bird, when will you come home
I watched you fly away so long ago
On brand new wings, couldn’t wait anymore
Oh, little bird, I just want you to know
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll take the phone call
Fall asleep on the sofa, waiting for your arrival,
Oh, little bird, where oh where could you be
I wonder why you don’t fly back to me
Love something, then try to set it free
Oh little bird, you will return and see
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll take the phone call
Fall asleep on the sofa, waiting for your arrival,
Little Bird you’ll never know unless you come home
