Tooth & Nail

The streets were filled with bottom feeders
We're all scraping to get by
Different shades of cocaine white
Desperation cuts sharp like a knife
I'm not afraid to bleed my brother dry
because I'm not better than that.
I'm only better than him
My self affirmation isn't based on a repentance of sins. 
Its just a culmination of the ones that repeat again.
There were throats that couldn't sing
No one's lips to read 
just the flash of tooth and nail as we came undone at the seams.
I don't blame you for losing faith in yourself
Eventually the bend snaps back and finally breaks.
So tell me how does it feel to come out clean?

Tooth & Nail

Silhouettes

Silhouettes of a better time
When I still had you on my mind
Mischievous vultures eying you
Devalue everything that I knew
I want to be more like them
Tear into all that's fragile and broken
Everyone's got there disappointments 
waiting to be unheard, for a chance
to be forgotten
A fresh start from what we've learned
There's nights you'll lay in bed
You'll think of all the places you could be instead
There's things that go unsaid 
when you think of all the people you tried to forget


Silhouettes

Pairs

We are not made in pairs
Square pegs for smooth legs
There's no one out there for you
through my skewed point of view

I won't have to wait up
You won't have to call
I won't know who your new friends are
I won't know where you are

Separate the joint affair
This is your new life 
That is theirs
Don't be alarmed by the sound of your favorite haunts
screaming to get out

Five years can go so fast
without figuring out how to make it last
We're going down different paths
and I won't know where you are

We are not made in pairs
our hearts were made to share

Pairs

I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Death Cab For Cutie cover)

Silhouettes of a better time
When I still had you on my mind.
Mischievous vultures eyeing you
devalue everything that I knew.

I want to be more like them;
tear into all that's fragile and broken.

Everyone's got their disappointments
waiting to be unheard,
for a chance to be forgotten,
a fresh start from what we've learned.

I want to be more like them;
tear into all that's fragile and broken.

There's nights we'll lay in bed
you'll think of all the places 
you could be instead.
There's things that go unsaid
when you think all the things
you tried to forget.
