A better man would say When you've given up on love Your confidence will fray I'm forgetting what to play My strings forgive my tired hands so I give them both away I won't ask why I'll lean into your arms and listen to you sigh And when I kiss you I will close my eyes I will not lie My pen just sings the words my empty head can't write As I put it to the paper and close my eyes I'm technically insane I broke my head to spite my heart And it slowly filled with space But there's blood still in my veins It slips into my fingers and my guitar strings get stained I cannot tell a lie I cannot tell you anything at all The pictures on your wall distract my eyes from common laws Like gravity as words begin to fall around me Baby, around your lucid grin I see the lights from the street just dim and glisten off your skin And I can't summon up the words I never wanna try again I won't ask why I'll lean into your arms and listen to you sigh And when I kiss you I will close my eyes I will not lie My pen just sings the words my empty head can't write As I put it to the paper and close my eyes I close my eyes

My Bloody Crawl 03:20
lyrics
buy track
One way ride Just take me to the bar And drop me off You know I'll be just fine I know that you can't stand to talk when your mouth is dry You haven't had very much luck with the soda and rye If you just sit in the back and keep a trained eye You'll see that the falcon there is really a fly One way ride Just take me to the bar And drop me off You know I'll be just fine But my skin crawls When you nail me to the cross And I fall off And crawl my bloody crawl I know that you're looking for a change in your life Why should that change have to mean that someone dies? I'm alone tonight My view from the floor is beautiful I'll close my eyes Last night I needed you to come over I know you hate the drive But it's an emergency Last night I felt my life start over I know it's late to try But I'm bleeding really bad One way ride Just take me to the bar And drop me off You know I'll be just fine But my skin crawls When you nail me to the cross And I fall off And crawl my bloody crawl

Soil and Water 03:16
lyrics

The world needs to play us a song A song that forces us along The words need some urgency strong To show us that we're not alone But your problems just blind you from seeing That it's crumbling between The necessities that rule everything Things I've never seen, I've never even dreamed If you just took some time I'm sure that you could find something to give you peace of mind But if you don't even try Then I'd tell you I don't like you enough to even waste my time There's an animal underneath your skin If you starve it then it will be thin And if you cage it then it will be weak So tell me what's good for you, what's good for me? The world needs to play us a song A song that forces us along The words need some urgency strong To show us that we're not alone All that soil All that water If you just took some time I'm sure that you could find something to give you peace of mind But if you don't even try Then I'd tell you I don't like you enough to even waste my time

Light Years 05:21
lyrics

Assume love Assume I will care Baby that's a loose promise That you'll have to wear Well I do love But I do not prepare Maybe that's a few screws less than what you need to repair Your heart She'll bat her eyes good She'll fraternize better While my satellite orbits the sun on a Saturday in summer If you assume love Assume I will leave Baby you're a step ahead of me Cause I just can't be Anything She'll bat her eyes good She'll fraternize better While my satellite orbits the sun on a Saturday in summer My space is black Black as the night Alone I will write The stars shine down My planet just suspends me as I hover above the ground Light years away from the right ears, you'll know And it might appear That I'm standing right here But I'm not She'll bat her eyes good She'll fraternize better While my satellite orbits the sun on a Saturday in summer

A Million Reasons 04:04
lyrics

You sit and you stare The lights are flashing through your hair Your eyes are deep and clear The night is a black cloud choking out the air I'm wide awake Now that I have your eyes fixed on me You're talking your big game But your loyalties are seeping through There isn't a thing you wouldn't say or do Your smile never stops short There's a million reasons a girl will never let boy Ever get an inch close to a kiss from you I'm wide awake Now that I have your eyes fixed on me The way you're asking the questions now Tells me you're ready It's better that we've had this break The way you're looking me up and down Tells me you're lonely I wonder who could've taken your place Your guard never goes down You get excited from the argument You soak the good out to be comfortable in your skin Your flimsy little pretense Is waifish and protracted thin Just like my will to never let you in I'm wide awake Now that I have your eyes fixed on me I scream your name Loud enough just to scream again The way you're asking the questions now Tells me you're ready It's better that we've had this break The way you're looking me up and down Tells me you're lonely I wonder who could've taken your place I know I don't have much I don't have anything for you I know I don't have much But I still have eyes for you

This is the last time, you know I'm gone for good you should've known A flatline and a groan The respirators all implode You'll find out this time You'll find out, the finest doctor's are in tow And if you ever laughed until you cried Well then you know why I do when I look into your eyes You're the finest piece of shit I've ever known about You're the picture I've always saved, but now I wish I'd thrown out So I'm leaving, and I don't care how much it's cold out So you can call up the fucking scene and let them all know I sold out It's alright, you know I don't need much more than I can throw And that's fine, I'll go Just have him take off your clothes I'll find out, someday I'll find out, you're just as easily replaced And the morning absolves But the things that were in your mouth dilute your virtue Close your mouth now Get up off your knees, wipe them off and get out Close your mouth now Come and claim your hostages and get the fuck out You're the finest piece of shit I've ever known about You're the picture I've always saved, but now I wish I'd thrown out So I'm leaving, and I don't care how much it's cold out So you can call up the fucking scene and let them all know I sold out

Angelie 03:31
lyrics

I know you enjoyed it more than me I wonder if she remembers anything The couch or the table or the hardwood floor Are places I can never bare to see no more I wonder if she smelled thick of sweat and booze When you laid there together in your bedroom I'm sure if there were cameras in your walls I would never sleep again at all There's a town in Florida, called Angelie You can visit there for a night or two But soon you'll have to leave There's a town in Florida, called Angelie They have taken you to live down there I hope you like the heat I know you enjoyed it more than me I wonder if she left while you were still asleep Her lips or her hands are precious things The only thing she needs is to have a drink I wonder if the minutes ever add up to The months I enjoyed spending time with you I know that you're scared of airplanes Maybe if you're lucky you can catch the train To a town in Florida, called Angelie You'd never believe who you'd see down there Laughing on the beach A town in Florida, called Angelie They have taken you to live down there I hope you like the heat

A smoke A drink The people to my right I look I think The bar is falling down on me The crowd The room Why is this an emergency? But it is And I'll wait And the clock just waves at me Ha Ha Ha Ha! I'm laughing at you Ha Ha Ha Ha! I'm laughing at me too The clock The watch The time The problem with a lot So I walk And think I can never find time to sing The wind The cold The bitter cold So let go I suppose If I stop I might just go somewhere Somewhere far Somewhere kind... Ha! Haha! Ha Ha Ha Ha! I'm laughing at you Ha Ha Ha Ha! I'm laughing at me too

The Song Will Write Me 03:21

I'm staying in tonight I'm staying up till I get things right And I know it's been a sleepless year There's no time for resting yet, no Well I'm warming up my hands I'm cleaning off my glasses I've been waiting for this night I've got my seatbelt fastened I'm knowing what I want I've worked so hard for this And I'm for real The song will write me! And I won't let it go I will be the one that learns just how to love I won't let it go I'm going out tonight I'm hanging out till I meet Ms. Right And I know that she will look so good I somehow always knew she would, oh yeah The letters just assemble to my eyes And I will follow them all the way till it's right The words that fill the page just burst out wide My eyes just burn with lights The song will write me! And I won't let it go I will be the one that learns just how to love

There's something about the way you roll your eyes away from your glass There's something about the way you order another one and pull out more cash And you feel alone, but the conversation just makes you feel at home There's something not right when you fill up an ashtray and empty a fifth And there's something just wrong when you talk to the girls until you give them a whiff And you feel so alone, but the conversation just makes you feel at home There's something about the way you never eat, but you never lose a pound There's something about the logic of changing your drink instead of putting it down And it feels so wrong, but I'll play along There's about the way you stumble around and climb into your chair There's something embarrassing how I water you down and you won't even care And it feels so wrong, but I'll play along

Lullabye 10:26

The tourists are winding down in the city My shirt is inside out, I'm feeling so tired So worn down I could flood this whole street with what I've been drinking Washed away in waves of flavored vodka Still stinging in the back of my throat I'll use my time away from you wisely I'll sing my lullaby The summer's winding up in the city The sun is getting hotter I'm feeling so dirty, so worn down I could blacken all the streets with what I've been smoking A fog that's free of water My eyes will start stinging from all my smoke I'll use my time away from you wisely I'll sing my lullaby I'll cast my net wide I'll catch your eye In a vast night Far and wide I'll sing my lullaby I can't remember anything I'll sing my lullaby Time fixes On and on
