Tonight, I struggle to find the words
It's all I see,
It's you
Tonight, all right
and you'll never really ever settle anything at all
It's all right

Tonight, I struggle to find a way
It's all I see,
It's you
Tonight, all right
and you'll never really ever settle anything at all
it's all right...

And when we finally land, we finally let ourselves go
And on that foggy day we can't find a way,
we'll abandon ship!
And I'll navigate, I'll find a way back 
back to you
I won't stop
I won't stop

Love

Tonight…
It's all I see,
It's you
Tonight, all right, and you'll never really ever
settle down
It's all right...

December

Ups, Downs, and Tonight

I'm not trying hard enough
Going's getting pretty rough
And all along
I go on alone.

Lately been worried that
I don't find it odd at all
If I incinerate it all
It's all a lie, I don't want to live
All along, it's all a lie I don’t want to live,
All along, it’s all a lie I don't want

Maybe I'm not meant to be
Maybe it's my destiny
to kiss this cigarette goodnight
Better lost soul than a lost cause, right?

Lately been worried that
I don't find it odd at all
If I incinerate it all
It's all a lie, I don't want to live
All along, it's all a lie I don’t want to live,
All along, it’s all a lie I don't want
All along, this song will die with me 

This commotion and clamor
This delusion of glamor

To Be / To Burn

Now that I hold your attention
I'll direct it to maladroit self-expression,
sung by me

This is a different breed of love song, one that I set ablaze!
It's over, it's over!

I bide my time,
Held in a loft parity
I might sing so soft a parody,
I bite my tongue

This is a different breed of love song, one that I'm using to chill!
It's over, it's over!

I bide my time,
Held in a loft parity
I might sing so soft a parody,
I bite my tongue
To transpose in blood

I might sing so soft a parody,
I bite my tongue

I might sing so soft a parody,
I bite my tongue

Attention!

Well, it started off as a gift
and now I'm kicking myself for trying so hard
and it started off as a gift
and now I'm picking myself apart for trying hard to find out

A will or a way out
of everyone that wants 
to kill or delay 
my mind-reading

I think I just need a lift
my face, the lines are as long as false faults go
and it's ending up as a rift
and now I'm breaking my head, sifting through lead, straining to find
clarity

You always knew, always will, they're surrounding you

A will or a way out
of everyone that wants 
to kill or delay 
my mind-reading

(God…)

I always knew, always will, they're surrounding us

Dear God, I want this, 
Dear God, I want this
I'll make damn sure talking heads will roll now that I know

I always knew, always knew, always knew

DEAR GOD, I WANT THIS!
DEAR GOD I WANT THIS!
I SWEAR THAT I WILL,
WILL BE KNOWN BY FALL!

No one gets away 
now that I know what's in us is poisonous
And now I'm taking control,
the five of us

We always knew, always will, they're surrounding you

A will or a way out
of everyone that wants 
to kill or delay 
my mind-reading

A Way Out

This shit's fucked up
last time I checked, you claimed to not know
now I'm a wreck 'cause I know something's going down
one can suspect, but wish you'd say so

more more more, we’ll bite our tongue, more more more, you’ll steal our lung
(we wait for you to tell your lies)

Been so down, on my luck and
something's up, but I'm not sure what
familiar bond's about to fall apart
this is wrong,
because we said:

more more more, we'll bite our tongue, more more more, you'll steal our lung
(we wait for you to tell your lies)

more more more, we'll bite our tongue, more more more, you'll steal our lung
(we wait for you to tell your lies)

Well that's just fine! Patience is one of my names
I'll wait in line
for you to choose left from right!

We go along with your lack of direction and identity crisis

Crisis

There's an, there’s an up for every down!
Bite our tongue, and more more more, you'll steal our lung
(we wait for you to tell your lies)

Well that's just fine, patience is one of my names!
I'll wait all night
for you to choose left from right!

Crisis

Fortune smiles upon my potential and I began dwelling on the flipside
I'm capable of many once-in-a-lifetime moments,
the evidence is in their profile

Consider yourself lucky
to hear me and everyone else
I've spent my precious time with
Malleable, soft, dense and elusive...
I'm gold

It's so easy to make up new friends 
but so hard to keep the old ones on your mind.

I'm capable of many once in a lifetime moments
but I can't shake the feeling!

Consider yourself lucky
to hear me and everyone else
I've spent my precious time with
Malleable, soft, dense and elusive...
I'm gold

I'm twenty and so free
I've new eyes, aimed to the skies,
a somber kind of song bird
I'm twenty, and I'm me

Consider yourself lucky
to hear me and everyone else
I've spent my precious time with

Wishful Thinking; I'm Gold Gold Gold

our hopes and dreams float about the air,
caught in webs/strands wavy hair.
spiders -- they seek to devour every unborn hour.
this reminds me of a lucid nightmare
of all these listless nights
and all these fistless fights...
remember when we got along?
our voices lent themselves to this song and they
echo
through misled, cloudy obscurity 
our starry-eyed, make-believe maturity... 
our memories float about the air...

Restless Nights

These dusty stairs lead nowhere but to a higher fall
foundation's failing all around
what else is new?
nothing

every time it's been all the same
now it's broken and who's to blame for

Pictures surround my feet

and now I'm hiding underneath what was my room
who turned out all the lights?
you did, go grab a broom

it's always the same, every time
and who's to blame for this mess?

Pictures surround my feet

I hate to talk about all the things
you said you'd like to do in a year
or two, or three....
maybe we could, maybe we
could be

(things that you said you'd like to do)
every time we forget to blame ourselves

Pictures surround my feet
Pictures surround my feet
Pictures

I don't want to break
I don't want to stop
I don’t want to break
I don’t want to stop

Pictures

If this is the end, I can't
If this is the end, I can't breathe
But I won't drown
No, I won't drown

What am I so afraid of? I don't know... I can't get over it

If this is the end, I can't breathe
Resisting the tide of change
has got me
And it's pulling me under
I'm sinking 'cause I'm thinking
But I won't drown
No, I won't drown

What am I so afraid of? I don't know... I can't get over it
Of all the fish in the sea, what am I so afraid of? I don't know!
I can't get over

I can't fall in love
Without you, you, you
To catch me
I won't drown 
I won’t drown
I won’t drown, but

What am I so afraid of? I don't know, but it's taking over me
If this is the end
I can't

I Can't Breathe

To the stars above;
send my words on a wind, that heeds these words:
“Strike down my foes
make them pay for their perversions”

so just give up,
yeah, don't believe in me
you don't know empathy, to be so kind
you do what you do just to make it through,
you worship nothing but yourself,
you're on your own.

(help)

To the stars above;
send my prayers on a wind, that heeds these words-
“Please tell me, what are we fighting for?”
I would kill for you
but so would they

so just give up,
yeah, don't believe in me
you don't know empathy, to be so kind
you do what you do just to make it through,
you worship nothing but yourself,
you're on your own.

Save Yourself

It's a nice day and the sun's not out
my favorite
we can play and sing and even shout
let's savor it

and when it's over, I try not to pout
but you know all about me

it's a perfect night but something's not right
defeated
the familiar sound of rejection's howl's repeated

and now it's over, I try not to pout
but you know all about me

over and over I remold her 
we're both like clay, let's play

I’m so scared we’re gonna stop

and it’s been over, I try not to pout
but you know all about me

over and over I remold her 
we're both like clay, let's play

say goodbye to the world
fell in love with a girl

Say Goodbye

It feels so empty, without a soul around
hiding out underground
Is so lonely, so useless
So I went out
Saw everything,
what did I find?

Total silence.

For all bad men to burn in hell
The sky really fell,
The sky really fell
Everyone could die ‘cause they would not lend an ear
Gets me way down
Way down
I’m alive
‘cause I stayed inside

I hate everything.
I wanted the world still and white, like December

All the voices
Sing with me now, their tragedy
is music to me
and my broken ears
                           

Everything could change to bring about your own salvation
Gets me way down
Way down
I’m alive
‘cause I stayed inside

I hate everything
I wanted the world still and white, like December
I miss everything
I wanted the world still and white, like December

Tonight, I remember everything at once
Tonight, I struggle 
to breathe

It feels so empty, without a soul around to know of a story, l own
my only reflection
says I can rest
my final breath,
I'll never ever let it go...

I’ve been alone for a long time and I’ve been right here, not letting go
I’ve lived for ages, way past your time
When you died, I carried you home
When you died, carried your memories on
Because I have too many in my brain, enough to get by
Adjust whole again
When I yawn, I might as well lose the din I had,
Enough to get by, adjust to feel

I’ve been alive for a long time and I’ve been right here, not letting go
I’ve lived for ages, just wasting time

I felt you leave me to see my fate
An aching, longing need to bring you back from deep in my mind
Enough to by, adjust to feel
Whole again

I won’t forget you – how could I?

Every day is just another step without a word or smile from your lips
I wish to kiss just one last time but I can’t
‘cause they’re blue
I try to get by, enough to feel whole again

I feel myself forgetting
I feel myself forgetting your name
My only fear is coming true

I’ll be alone for a long time

From the Wreckage

Whole Again

I saved a day in the middle of the week so I could feel 
Little better ‘bout the weight that I’ve been dealt
Little long then I guess I will get paid
Then I’ll say, I have changed my mind – what should I do?
I can’t help you now
Go ahead and take the credit, you can pick up where I left
I can’t help you now

I stayed the same, little older but my eyes’ve grown so grey
Window opens and the breeze will turn the page
Then I’ll return to say, I feel the same
That I won’t follow you, and I won’t allow you to have me this way
Go ahead and take the credit, you can pick up where I left
I can’t help you now

(Implanted images distracting from a rich sense of worth
hold your cash like a curse)

The permanence of ink conveys the subtle difference in my eyes
I saved a day just to heal
 what should I do? I can’t help you now

Weathered

We were born, conjoined at the hip
Separated boundary lines
To makes sense of where we stand
Just to believe we made it
Oh, we’ll see this through, and we’ll feel again
A promise we made to ourselves

Operator standing behind
Winding up the drilling tool
Forcibly gained access to our home, inside

We had to breathe our own fire
We had to bring our own guns

Ensnared

Your addiction to pressure subsides at the drop of a pin,
Just like a broken record
With intimate frequencies, lulling you sleep without counting sheep

Who you think you stick it to? Descending down into your mood
A match made in heaven
You’re escaping life all the time
But never know the truth, what’s inside of you

All my life, I had to choose: one to live and one to lose
All my life, I had no choice
But to be in the womb, poisoning myself

“Yeah… I’ll do it tomorrow not today”
Rhetorical folly holds you back as you hold it in
You’d rather make excuses than make up for your mistake in life
All the time, daring you to keep rolling up your sleeve

Run away slowly, your lives in your arms, just think of your child
the one who carries on the mother of all your fake problems

Tripping and Falling

Shaving off all your skin to feel vulnerable
I hear them speak out, a wave of disarray
Organized experience, it’s all on you to get out

Oh the sun, how it burns just like I do when I yearn

Official expectation deride in due time
I sing louder, never causing harm
Exfoliate a change of pace as we make haste to get ours

Oh the sun, how it burns just like I do 

So what is right by you?
I’ll choose

Pulled shut, eyelids
Erasing my will and forcing down
Always, islands erasing my will and facing down

Oh the sun how it burns, just like I do 
So what is right by you? 
I’ll choose…

Unrest

Part of you, a part of you is gone, is lost
A part of you, a part of you is gone along

Today’s the day I’ll somehow change my ways, I’ll somehow
Unchaining my shackles and dropping them right where I stand
Yeah, today’s the day, oh today 

A part of you, a part of you is gone
And has been robbed

Today’s the day I’ll summon the will to change
I’m getting it out from my mind and out of time
Yeah, today’s the day, oh today

When you have to ask what you lack – is it time?

Getting out the door on your own lately
…..
Nothing has, nothing has seemed to work
Wiping the age out your eyes

Part of You

A step above, the best, on top
I’m here watching a whisper act just like a thought
To the heads in this room, locked in a tomb
Regress to less human being by
Such a cruel decision
Dotted lines tell me just where to sign
What I wouldn’t give to be another man
But I’ll get out here with who I am
Rust knife, a slow incision, oh my friend
Do you hear the horror upon my face?
I beg ‘cause it hurts to feel you so I lose all feeling…please
But it’s just a cruel decision, dotted lines tell me just where to sign
What I wouldn’t give to be another man
But I’ll get out here with who I am

I failed to love you the way I would
If only you knew who I used to be

Blood for Blood

Why do I define a line so high? I hope and show off all my pride
Taking out all of my sin to change within
It’s all I can do, deny a remiss witness

I remember days when I cried out loud, now
your voice in the crowd, standing out and heaven-sent
Reflection like a mirror

It’s all I can do, deny a remiss witness

You have saved more times than I can count on my hand
Fingerless, oh the skies miss my heart
And I’ve sent one last word for you:
Live without regrets

It’s all I can do 

You have saved me more times than I can count
And you revived me
Now I will live again

Rituals

What’s the point of being famous?
So maybe I’ll regret this
Could I be beat down to the street
Blind and left behind?
Pretty boy is entertaining
Well, I find ‘em grating
Could I be beat down in the street
Blind, and left behind to know that 
I can’t be too late
I am made of steel or wool defense

Well the rain will come someday
Like a blessing for all my dirty work
To was all the pain away

It could only be you
To convince me that this is truly where I deserve to be 
And it could only be you
To tell me if it is all worth all my time and effort
Time flows like a stream
Dedication is strong
You lose when I say I can’t be too late

Maybe I concede to madness, thirsty and thread-less
Could I be clothed from head to toe on these kind of wages?
What’s the point of being famous?
Oh, I know, could it be friends in higher ranks
Keep you up at night

I can’t be too late
I could go away and fade out

Well the pain will be worth it
At least I sure hope so anyway
To make all the sense I need

Dedication is strong
And the current’ll change
You lose when I say “I can’t be too late”

Don't be Late.

You have to ask yourself: what trust you have made
With all you have?
What I admire most is you, for free
What I admire more is you and me

You have to project yourself
Through a video or a photograph
Whatever

What I admire most is you for free
What I admire more is you and me
How I imagine you is you, fallen
What I admire more is you and me

Off your head
We’re barely there

Tunnel vision casts a glow so don’t sit around
Your eyes,
What you’re meant to see is you
And I like that what I admire most is you for free
Your eyes

You & Me
