October Lover

Hey there lover 
I hear you’ve gotten rid of that old stutter 
You’ve got some questionable views 
Well that’s alright I got them too 
Still My face is covered 
I drag my legs around while you just hover 
You get that thing you call the blues 
Every time you watch the news 

Driving faster I can’t feel a thing 
Call the pastor I don’t feel a thing 
We don’t have to always play pretend 
But every now and then I 

I keep on falling back to thinking that I’m someone new 
I’ll make the same mistakes again until I’m someone new 
but I can tell myself that somethings there if nothings there to lose 
I keep on falling back to thinking that I’m someone new 

Hey there lover 
Can we go back to being with each other 
You run a pretty mean crew 
And they all seem to love you 
But all my friends are bummers 
They do not treat me like I am other 
I am a cactus and a fool 
None of the cameras think I’m cool 

Driving faster I can’t feel a thing 
But every now and then I 

I keep on falling back to thinking that I’m someone new 
I’ll make the same mistakes again until I’m someone new 
but I can tell myself that somethings there if nothings there to lose 
I keep on falling back to thinking that I’m someone new 

Driving fast but it’s getting blurry 
Heading out so I’m saying so long 
So long 
Driving fast and it’s getting blurry 
I know I won’t but I’m saying so long 

I keep on falling back to thinking that I’m someone new 
I’ll make the same mistakes again until I’m someone new 
but I can tell myself that somethings there if nothings there to lose 
I keep on falling back to thinking that I’m someone new

Falling Back

I picked you up in a Cadillac 
Don’t be impressed got it from my dad
He lets me take it when I’m feeling down
Might be the last time I see you around

Picked up the phone 
Put it right down
I tried to make a sound but nothing came out
I called you first
To say it hurt
That you didn’t call me first, baby

You and I were meant to be together
You and I were meant to be more than friends 
You and I were meant to last forever
But I’ll probably never see you again 

You’re like the bottom of an empty bag
I try to quit I keep coming back
I leave your house don’t know where to go
I Might just drive til the fuel is gone

Picked up the phone 
Put it right down
I tried to make a sound but nothing came out
I gotta go
Want you to know
This was never gonna work baby

You and I were meant to be together
You and I were meant to be more than friends
You and I were meant to last forever
But I’ll probably never see you again

U.N.I.

Moved to the corners of my mind
Started to suffocate
Lose track of time
I didn’t want to start a war
Something was missing
I wanted more

I need to wash myself of this
Clean up the mess I made
Start again
I don’t care if it’s gonna hurt
I wanna feel something
I wanna feel the burn
 
I walked a little bit to close to the edge
Gave up on my defense 
In the name of love
I told myself that everyone gets the bends
Nothing has to make sense
In the name of love

I know that this is gonna hurt
I know that this is gonna hurt
I know that this is gonna hurt
I wanna feel something
I wanna feel the burn

I walked a little bit to close to the edge
Gave up on my defense 
In the name of love
I told myself that everyone gets the bends
Nothing has to make sense
In the name of love

The Name Of Love

Written, produced and mixed by Ryan Marshall Lawhon

A Beginning (Descent)

Pushing through the static 
But I’m feeling too dramatic to breath
Running from the panic 
But my heart is falling behind the beat

Is it a thrill to haunt me
Is it a thrill to kill me

I can feel you everywhere I go
You’re always on my mind 
You’re on my mind
My body’s made of more than skin and bones 
I’m wanna feel alive
Panic Attack

Heavy rush of blood into my head
I think I’m dying again
Every little thought has got the reaper 
Waiting at the end

Is it a thrill to haunt me
Is it a thrill to kill me

I can feel you everywhere I go
You’re always on my mind 
You’re on my mind
My body’s made of more than skin and bones 
I’m wanna feel alive
Panic Attack

Not gonna breakdown
I’m gonna find my way out
Not gonna breakdown 
I’m gonna find my way 

I can feel you everywhere I go
You’re always on my mind 
You’re on my mind
My body’s made of more than skin and bones 
I’m wanna feel alive
I feel alive

Panic attack

I wanna live fast
I wanna live free
I wanna beach house next to the beach
But I need more money
I need more money

I wanna get high
I wanna a penthouse
I want it to be the highest house
But I need more money
I need more money

We want the same things
With different means
We open new doors
That lead to new things
We sing the same songs
About where we wanna go
So let’s take it

We want we want we want
We want the future 
We want we want we want
We want the future now

I hate my job
I hate my lease
I hate this red old navy fleece
But I’m saving money
I’m saving money

I hate my life
I hate my dad
I wish I had a different dad
He left me no money
I got no money 

We want the same things
With different means
We open new doors
That lead to new things
We sing the same songs
About where we wanna go
So let’s take it

We want we want we want
We want the future 
We want we want we want
We want the future now

Future Now

You say that you feel nothing
In your soul
A lifetime being told 
Aggression gets the gold
You don’t have to be violent
You don’t have to be cold
It don’t make you a man to be out of control

Boys don’t have to be boys
(I said) Boys don’t have to be boys
Boys don’t have to be boys
To be boys

This house is full of doors
With no exits signs
We’ve come a long way
But we’re miles behind
So crack open a window 
Grab your radio
You don’t have to be toxic everywhere that you go

Boys don’t have to be boys
(I said) Boys don’t have to be boys
Boys don’t have to be boys
To be boys

No excuses no noise
No more violence no more toys
Boys don’t have to be boys
To be boys

Boys Don't Have To Be Boys

I only ever listen to love songs
The kind that make you wanna die
I wish I could think of something different
But I every time I sing I just wanna break down and cry

I only ever think about heartbreak
I try to find it every day
I wish I didn’t martyr myself for romance
I’m stuck in the hook and I can’t get away

I don’t wanna sing a chorus
I don’t wanna repeat myself
I don’t wanna make this a love song
But I don’t want to do anything else

I don’t wanna sing a chorus
I don’t wanna repeat myself
I don’t wanna keep living in the past
But I don’t want to do anything else

Good God Regina It's A Bomb

Some people drink
Some people lie
The end of the bar ain’t the end of the line
Don’t touch my keys
I’m gonna drive
To a place with an unstable cliffside

We’re gonna fall back
Into the ocean
Fill up our lungs with smoke while we can
Let all our demons
Sink with the sunset
Take off our clothes and float hand in hand

I wanna go back
Don’t wanna hold back 
I wanna love how I used to love
I wanna say things
Stupid romantic things
I wanna love how I used to love

Isn’t it sweet
Watching the tides
With somebody you’ve only met tonight
You think I’m cheap
I think I’m sly
Taking you to a beach with a gallon of wine

After we run back
Into the ocean
You grab my hair with a delicate grasp
This feels so easy 
Electricity
Sharing a kiss on a cold lifeguard stand

But now that feeling is gone
I don’t know when or where I lost it
I’m sitting on my couch
Overthinking what bottle to bring tonight

I wanna go back
Don’t wanna hold back 
I wanna love how I used to love
I wanna say things
Stupid romantic things
I wanna love how I used to love

I wanna go back
Don’t wanna hold back 
I wanna love how I used to love
I wanna say things
Stupid romantic things
I wanna love how I used to love
