SMILE & WAVE 

v1
we broke the wedding bells to make the rings 
we burned the list of our favorite things
we laid the flowers out, petals and thorns
we smashed the bottles and kept all the corks

ch
You’re beautiful, I must say
I’m head over heels 
Clicking my feet three times
There’s no place….
If I hadn’t gunned straight for the sun
We’d want answers
It’s better to know than just to 
Show up, smile, and wave 

v2
Displayed our renegade for cheers and looks
Liars stab shiny pins - and tiny hooks in what might have been
Stealing memories taking form 
From fairytales never born 

br
While they’re building love on fault lines
Castles made from sand and mud
We’ll fill our glasses with the tide’s wine
Rising higher with the flood

LIARS

Breaking out of here in hives
Nursing time bombs to life
Finding locks in burning leaves
Hiding keys in gasoline 

I took your hands so you couldn’t keep me
You broke my legs so I couldn’t wander
Liars have read our lips and called our bluff
Two heads to one's a waste, crack it open
Pour out our brains, our thoughts better spoken
Damage ourselves to not fall in love

Plastic actors faking thrills
Stealing lines from silent films
Buried hatchets, hard to find
Breath on fire, guiding light

We went to strange places
Searching for old faces 
Rose colored glasses of dust
Dig us from old graves
Dancing on dead weight
Love is deranged and fear’s a crutch

Liars

I didn’t know what we had started
i couldn’t see the pieces then
i saw candle and we carved it 
how misleading it had been

but i know that i’m broken hearted
I know that i’m aching on the mend
i know that i’m easily amused
and that and that we’re better off as friends
just better off friends

Arms outstretched 
But we had starved them

Better Off

"This song is about me coming to terms with shit in my life and being
real with myself. I usually smile and brush shit off like nothing can
dent my armor but in my head i have insecurities and doubts like the
next man. The same way you got to live with regrets, you also have to
live with the truth. It's inescapable. Many try and hide from their
own truths because they fear failure, non-acceptance, or maybe it's a
pride issue. Either way, this is me venting because I felt I needed
to. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't one of my more personal songs
but I'd be dying if I didn't share it with you."
