Killings (2014)


We're out on the promenade basking in the city light
Everybody's on the run with us tonight
Everybody knows where everybody goes
Down the subway, take the train to Mexico

There are outlaws sitting in the back of the cable car
If I placed a bet, I'd say they're not getting far
I've got a lighter and a half a pack of cigarettes
And no idea what's coming, coming next

Will we fall apart, will we fade away
I am not afraid
Coz I'll be back for you
Someday

My best friend went and lost herself to a monsoon
She's the sky and all the world's her womb
I wonder what she's coming home to prove
I'll light my last and pray to God it's over soon

Will we fall apart, will we fade away
I am not afraid
Coz I'll be back for you
Someday

And will we make it home
Will we stay the same
I am not afraid
Coz I'll be back for you
Someday

Maybe one of these days I'll get back home to you
Maybe one of these days I'll  love you like lovers really do
Maybe one of these days I wont be so afraid
To go back to the place where we kissed in the pouring rain

Tonight, MaybeTomorrow
Killings (2014)


Your teal eyes form a moonlight glow
So beautiful and apropos
Your body warmth was my escape
All your thoughts were mine to take
A midnight city, on the scene
Ballroom dancing at seventeen

Coz I know one thing
And all it was is you
And I know two things
And all they were is you

It's time to take another round
To run everything we know into the ground
We're good at always choosing bad
For the life of us we never had
So say goodbye or say goodnight
Maybe tomorrow, but not tonight

Coz I know one thing
And all it was is you
And I know two things
And all they were is you
And I know three things
I loved you through and through
And I know four things
I've everything to lose

You visit me inside my dreams
We're at Malani's kissing on New Year's Eve

Tonight, Maybe Tomorrow

Entropy
Entity (2015)


A million miles away
You and I decay
In the most horrible way
I'd love to see your face
But I can't make you stay
You're one in a million, anyways

You're a splendid emptiness surprise
Sometimes I dream about those teal eyes

So speak to me
Tell me where are you going to go
Coz I've got nine lives
And I'd trade them all for one more day alone
With you
Tell me what's the newest excuse
For you to leave me

And now you've paid your dues
You're broken, torn in two
And everything I love
Is either dead or died with you
I think that I'll be fine
Without you by my side
I hope that you're alright
And maybe one day, I'll see you in time

Trading broken ribs for empty cribs
And wedding rings I'll never give
The last pair on the dance floor
Are the last to give in

So speak to me
Tell me where are you going to go
Coz I've got nine lives
And I'd trade them all for one more day alone
With you
Tell me what's the newest excuse
For you to leave me

I'll bear the scars from all the cigarette burns
If it kills me, I'll get what I deserve
I guess we were just a big mistake
You gave the life I love, but the existence that I hate

(Say yes... At least, say 'Hello')

So speak to me
Tell me where are you going to go
Coz I've got nine lives
And I'd trade them all for one more day alone...

So speak to me
In a language I don't know
Tell me you love me
But you're sorry you have to go
Coz there's another boy on the other side of town
He's waiting with your coat

Give Me A Smile
Dearest (2015)


Oh dear
Dear you sound so lost
You're talking in your sleep
You're talking in your sleep
And I
I hear you say my name
You're whispering to me
You're whispering to me

And I see you in this new and perfect light
And I'm scared that you and I will burn out bright
Tonight

So come and stay a while
I could be your friend
I'd stay until the end
Just give me a smile
So come along with me
I could be your kind of man
You could be my kind of girl
I'd stay until the end

Oh why
Why don't i just tell you
Exactly what i mean
Exactly what i mean
Coz dear
Dearest you could be
Everything I need
Everything I need

With that last kiss in your dimming front porch lights
And a glimpse of bitter loneliness in eyes
But that's alright

So come and stay a while
I could be your friend
I'd stay until the end
Just give me a smile
So come along with me
We can play pretend
Again and again
But I'll stay until the end

Oh no

200 miles East of wherever you are
I'll be smoking a cigarette in the back of my car
Wondering if you sleep under the galaxy
And see the same old stars as me...

...In this new and perfect light
With a glimpse of bitter loneliness in those
Beautiful teal eyes

So come and stay a while
I could be your friend
I'd stay until the end
Just give me a smile
So come along with me
I could be your kind of man
You could be my kind of girl
I'd stay until the end

Oh no

Give Me A Smile

How It's Gonna Be
Killings (2014)


I wish I could
Remember to
Remember why I need to forget you
And I wish I could
Just be okay
With everything

So tell me your new name
Let me carve it into my brain
And I will never forget you again
And all of these days
We suffer through dependency
They don't mean a goddamn thing
And that's how it's gonna be

I wish you would
Just let me be
Let me go back home
And continue my drinking
Maybe if I die
I'll be a better man in the next life
That's all that I can hope for, at least

So tell me your new name
Let me carve it into my brain
And I will never forget you again
And you will be the entity
That begins the end to me
And I will be the thing you most hate
And that's how it's gonna be

That's how it's gonna be
That's how it's gonna be
That's how it's gonna be

So tell me your new name
Let me carve into my brain
And I will never forget you again
So tell me your new name
And I will tell you mine
And I'll see you in time
At the end of the line

And that's how it's gonna be

How It's Gonna Be

Coming Home
Throwing Leaves (2018)


4, 3, 2...

Hey little lady
Are you ever really going to tell me
What you're running from?
You've been pushing daisies
Pushing them all away from the ones you love
But you were sweet like cherry wine
And what a lovely headache you left behind
But bitter on the vine
And somehow you have seen me through
These trying times

Isn't it so amazing the confusion of it all
We're both just throwing leaves
But with no say in where they fall
What a lovely way to end it all
What a lovely way to end it all

Hey little lady
Are you ever really going to tell me
When enough is enough?
Coz there's no 'maybe'
In my head it either is or it is not
But you've got a new home
And you can mend yourself all on your own
But don't worry lady,
I might be lonely but I know I'm not alone
I'm coming home

Isn't it so confusing the lunacy of it all
We're both just throwing leaves
But with no say in where they fall
What a lovely way to end it all
What a lovely way to end it all

"I'm still learning how to fight for myself when I fight for other people as a habit. Nobody told me, that loving everyone was sometimes a bad thing. Nobody told me that I might be here someday, on the Blue Ridge, with my best friend, alone but not lonely, and learning for once in my goddamn life."

Isn't it so confusing the lunacy of it all
We're both just throwing leaves
But with no say in where they fall
What a lovely way to end it all
What a lovely way to end it all

The world is falling apart but we're coming together
Your memory is as endless as forever
And this is it, only if you've been looking for a sign
If we wait until we look ready
We'll be waiting for the rest of our lives
