These Words (Feat. Jennifer Broussard

Painting by Taylor Olivas

Another night on the eastern shore 
You want it bad but baby I want more 
But more is all you give 
Another day spent nine to five 
Corporate calls then you're set aside 
Alright, more is all you'll give 
Another day where the coffee's weak 
Run out the door but you drag your feet 
But more is all you give 
Another night spent on the street 
I stumble drunk back to Julie's 
I know there's more to life than this 

Still fighting the addiction 
But it's the same damn song 
The water's only black here 
And the wine is gone 

The last time we talked, I barely survived 
But I tried and I tried and I tried 
And I don't know if I can take it one more time 
Give me one last chance to say 
Give me one last chance to say 
I'm sorry it ended this way 

Still fighting the addiction 
But it's the same damn song 
The water's only black here 
And the wine is gone

The Black Water - The Elliot Equation

I know, I am all to blame - I never said that I was ready for this all to change. I'm creeping closer cannot keep her from his snake like tongue, I guess it's better that you'll never see me when we're done. 
You've cut the lights out but kept the car in drive, I held my head back and let the light align 
I know I am all to blame 'cause all I've got is all I had and that has gone away, I'll be honest it's the tonic and the turning pain inside my stomach as I'm lunging for the open flame
(Repeat)
We were made to be better than we were before, you take it all, I take it in for just a second more. I will not be able, I will not prevail. 
If I believed in heaven, If I believed in god, I will not prevail.
