I lose my way from time to time I lost my mind some years ago I dared to put my trust in sand and I begged for the storms to blow I'm not trying to hide but rather expose the truth I was the Villian in this, but so were you And I won't go back again At least that's what I pray I'm not running from the past Just trying to put the nail, In the coffin of my mistakes I lose my heart from timt to time and I went blind not long ago I turned my back and lost my faith just for this rose to grow I'm not trying to hide but rather expose the truth I was the Villian in this, but so were you And I won't go back again At least that's what I pray I'm not running from the past Just trying to put the nail, In the coffin of my mistakes so turn the lights down low as you scream out but I can't hear you but I can't hear you And I won't go back again At least that's what I pray I'm not running from the past Just trying to put the nail, In the coffin of my mistakes

And You 04:55
This year has come and gone so fast Too many chanes I've let pass Now all I have are these memories Left haunting me Left taunting me It's the way the sun rises over the hills How I hear your voice Singing softly still And you You were The reason I came home And you You were All I've ever known This passion We share Was uncomparable To anything I have ever felt Now this heart I own Is cold as stone Those were the days We ran through Rampant Not holding on But always looking back So now I tread Loosely Could this Weary feeling come to pass Or has my Chance faded away Everything I wanted in life Was right here Right in front of my eyes And you ripped it out This heart of glass And I take it back Every jealous word Every subtle kiss And please Don't leave me here I know I can't live like this And you You were The reason I came home And you You were All I've ever known Sunsets Car wrecks All comes to and end On the final word of the final page My story begins It's the way you smile I can hear your laugh It's the clarity With which I recall the past Some days wake to find myself alone And I wonder where you went And the panic ensues It's all that I have left I'm sorry I bailed I really wanted to stay You were my way home And I needed it that way And you You were The reason I came home And you You were All I've ever known And you You were The reason I came home And you You were All I've ever known

I'm choking down coffee As sunlight hits my eyes I'm feel hopeful now I'm feeling hopeful And I'm writing down Words as they come to my mind I'm feeling honest now I'm feeling honest Don't Lie Cause I can see you veil is wearing thin Don't Hide Just lose yourself in this summer wind We've got the windows Down Freedom from it all We let our voices shout Out of key out of control Spending time behind the wheel Sleep by day and drive by night I hope they hear our voices still Sing the anthem to our own lives I'm slowing down Life moves quickly on your own Persistance counts Persistance I won't back down Too many people that I know Are counting on me know Their clocks are counting down. Don't Lie Cause I can see you veil is wearing thin Don't Hide Just lose yourself in this summer wind We've got the windows Down Freedom from it all We let our voices shout Out of key out of control Spending time behind the wheel Sleep by day and drive by night I hope they hear our voices still Sing the anthem to our own lives

Cold Breaks I feel my breath take I waste away Too many things to do I've got a thousand things to say Coat sinks I watch world shrink Shipwrecked and dazed Nothing to do but Fall down and pray Cause I've been fighting off demons with all my time And I swaer I'd go back if I thought I could And I've been tearing through events that I can't unwind And I'm trapped here, and I'm trapped here Fitting as it seems The bridge on Henly St. Falling down like this weight on top of me I can't compete with the strength itakes to keep with these big lies and these little things Ships pass I watch my soul sink Sharkes swim through the wreckage that engulfs me Steer towards the rocks Ignore the lighthouse light up a cigarettee and watch your ship go down (Chant) I'm walking down the street Where do I go? Does this reflect who I am inside There's no balance here There's no closure All the sins I try to hide They tip the scales Straight to the ground I'm walking down the street To anywhere And I don't think it matters today I'll follow my own feet To anywhere I won't fake a smile for anyone today Another freedom in a sea of pain It's days like this I've got nothing to gain It's something like how the sidewalk scrapes the sole of my shoe On a windy day We built this empire with our own two hands We were brave enough It was our turn Out on the hill where we sat as kids We lit the fire And we let it burn You know we can't stay here I wish we could You know we don't belong here Oh why I just stay Why do you let past dreams get the best of you Oh I wish I could just let go Sever ties with what's been holding But I've been friends with these ties for so long Stop breaking down You swore you had my back Stop wearing out Oh I wish I could, Oh I wish I could (Chant) I'm walking down the street Where do I go? I'm walking down the street To anywhere And I don't think it matters today I'll follow my own feet To anywhere I won't fake a smile for anyone today

Light creeps through a window shield we still got three more hours still be break through state lines to find out what it's like to find yourself on your own shut down, burnt out, and flat broke The clock it spins, in reverse The earth it turns, far too slow So don't tiptoe around the point Just say it to my face I could leave you in my wake You know you always had a choice Always had a say My heart was always yours to break These nights and city skylines behind the wheel I let my mind recall the past few days and just how quickly life can change your path and it's turns where it goes I'll never learn to call off all bets and toast goodbye to my regrets The clock it spins, in reverse The earth it turns, far too slow So don't tiptoe around the point Just say it to my face I could leave you in my wake You know you always had a choice

Sunken Ships and crooked castles where I've been the last few weeks hiding out underneath it all writing til my fingers bleed quiet corners in coffee shops bars where they know my name post up in my usual spot sit back, take a sip, as you catch my gaze So send a bottle to my next girl and float it by on cresting waves torn Paper trapped inside the curled parchment will say You could be anyone in this place but I don't know where you are You could be anyone in this place but I don't know You could be anyone Tattoos and a lip ring she smiles as she sings her green eyes can waste my time red hair, my attention I'm not on a mission I'm just here to waste my time The girl with her hair back wearing a sweater and reading a book through broken frames smile so lonely she doesn't know me but she's driving me insane The blonde at the bar just buying a round for friends for friends who talk behind her back just when I'm going overboard My friend, he snaps me back So send a bottle to my next girl and float it by on cresting waves torn Paper trapped inside the curled parchment will say You could be anyone in this place but I don't know where you are You could be anyone in this place but I don't know You could be anyone

Where to go from here It's where I've been for the past three years And I swear I'm desensitized yet overly impaired Just the mention of your name gives me away And the outline of your figure The way you sway It keeps me awake Last chance to lose my keys Oh those slow folk songs They always make me weak I need fresh nail marks down my back Oh those subtle looks The way we'd just lose track I need a girl who won't grow cold And a face to trust When It's all been said and told And I I'll Take what's left of this And I'll put it in a photograph And I'll drive home Cause Your words Were never kind enough To give me a second chance To give me a second glance Your Smile was never bright enough So I'll leave you in a photograph And I'll drive home Where to go from here It's where I've been for the past three years And I swear I'm desensitized yet overly impaired Just the mention of your name gives me away And the outline of your figure The way you sway It keeps me awake

Control or lack thereof Cause I'm caught in the wire like a mourning dove flashback to where it began till this all becomes just a means to and end I mean well It doesn't mean a thing cause the gift you'd seek isn't just for me freedom comes when you tighten the reigns is the frightening idea that we all bring So what am I holding on to cause you're the only one who sees right through So why can't I just trust you Crash and burn to be born anew This is the gift I've recieved but it's not the plan I thought it would be do I fight to break this leash and in doing so be consumed by the beast This is the point of make or break to concede to the night and fade away or buy the field and sell what's mine to recieve the light of eternal life So what am I holding on to cause you're the only one who sees right through So why can't I just trust you Crash and burn to be born anew This is the point of make or break This is the point of make or break This is the point of make or break This is the point of, this is the point of This is the point of make or break This is the point of make or break This is the point of, this is the point of This is the point of make or break This is the point We never though we'd reach This is the point It came without fail This is the point It all came crashing This is the point It all fell apart This is the point Of make or break This is the point

Just Say It 04:48
So tell me Where you've been the past few weeks and why you always speak to me with your eyes closed and tell me exactly what you think you know I'd love to watch you sink back where you came from and you you don't think that I know but I know and it's exactly what I think and you can tell me but you don't think that I know but I know and It's exactly what you want Just say it Just say it Have you ever stepped outside yourself Took a loow around and disliked what you see Have you ever died for somone else cause that's exactly what you're asking of me The day spent pacing back and forth and I've been counting your sins and wondering where you'll stick the knife I don't think you'll speak to me like you did back then and while your night is winding up I'll just be turning in and you you don't think that I know but I know and it's exactly what I think and you can tell me but you don't think that I know but I know and It's exactly what you want Just say it Just say it Have you ever stepped outside yourself Took a loow around and disliked what you see Have you ever died for somone else cause that's exactly what you're asking of me How Could I fall for somone so faithless? How could I fall so far? Have you ever stepped outside yourself Took a loow around and disliked what you see Have you ever died for somone else cause that's exactly what you're asking of me

Catharsis 04:06
I've been up for three days straight And the light outside tends to send me on my way No sleep till death In between the notes is where I find my rest I'll push it down I'll scream it out I'll rip your heart through your mouth Cause I don't think I can restrain myself today Spite pumping through my heart Darkness seeping through my veins I'll hide my battle scars in the light of day Don't you thinkn you've had enough Won't you listen to me babe Don't you think you've had enough A concerning lack of faith And a strong desire to relive some past mistakes I should set you free But these scars ensure you won't be leaving me I'll push it down I'll scream it out I'll rip your heart through your mouth Cause I don't think I can restrain myself today Spite pumping through my heart Darkness seeping through my veins I'll hide my battle scars in the light of day Don't you thinkn you've had enough Won't you listen to me babe Don't you think you've had enough

An endless view Over troubled seas A sky lit anew With stars so serene The salty crash Over sleepless eyes No peace to be found In the weary mind I know the odds We'll never make it home Just another night Shaking alone So hold your tongue The words you speak have no sway It's dark the path we follow The bridge we burn will light the way We'll set the ship ablaze To watch each other burn Set fire to the sails Then It's our turn Flames above Sea below So choose between Yourself and letting go Flames above Sea below So choose between Yourself and letting go Breath in deep You'll need the air If it's death you seek I won't meet you there So hold your tongue The words you speak have no sway It's dark the path we follow The bridge we burn will light the way

Here Sleep for days Trapped in your blood stream Trapped in your black and white dream And I scream at the top of my lungs Your not listening to anything Could you wake up If I promise you everything would be ok It will be ok We'll live long Happily we will grow old Simple and in love Like this moment in time Means nothing to us Like this moment in time Never happened Wake up the crew Man the hatches I can't believe What I just let happen I'm drowning Salt in my lungs As I bite down On the barrell of your gun Pull the trigger We'll live with what we've done Take my ashes Down to the bay Scatter them As the children laugh and play Hallelujah What a mess we made
