It’s so dark in this cave
Let’s make this quick before I stay
Can’t hold on so afraid
Of letting go
I’ve been waiting my whole life
To feel this good for just one night
Don’t know how I’ll make it out
But I’m in control
And if hours turned to days
And if our soul to take
How much ‘til we break?
How much ‘til we break?
And if love stayed the same
And if life never changed
Would we be everything?
Would we be everything?
(and I want to break out but I’m kinda gone
I just left the city in pieces because the limit’s all off
and I got a fresh card, we won’t stay long
I just left the city in pieces because the limit’s gone)
Come alive in the face
Every time he comes to play
New love of metal and tape
You should’ve known
And if hours turned to days
And if our soul to take
How much ‘til we break?
How much ‘til we break?
And if love stayed the same
And if life never changed
Would we be everything?
Would we be everything?
(and I want to break out but I’m kinda gone
I just left the city in pieces because the limit’s all off
and I’ve got to break out and I’m kinda gone
I just left the city in pieces because the limit’s—)
(interlude)
And if hours turned to days
And if our soul to take
How much ‘til we break?
How much ‘til we break?
And if love never changed
And if life stayed the same
Would we be everything?
Could we be everything?
Now the light is open wide
Come to light me up tonight
Won’t you light me up tonight
Won’t you light
Light it up
Light it up
Light it up
Light it up

Lethal

Either
you want to die or you don’t want to die
Both are so lethal
Me, I’m stuck in the middle
Of the glorious combat
Just can’t put one foot in front of the other
Just keep swaying side to side, but this
Dizziness does not sway me or subside
Either you want to die or you don’t want to die
Either you want to die or you don’t want to die
Nothing set in stone
Only cause
Nothing set in stone
Stuck
in between the good men and all the others
I was waiting here for my
Restitution of my former insides
I could not see what happened to Heather
She changed before my eyes and I
Did not even notice when she died
Either you want to die or you don’t want to die
Either you want to die or you don’t want to die
Nothing set in stone, nothing set in stone
Either you want to die or you don’t want to die

Slated

Have you ever seen what nothing looks like
Let alone what it feels like
Right in front of your eyes
Nestled in this boat in ropes
If you sink, then there I go again
There I go, there I go again
Just like I pictured it
You were out of my sight, out of my life
Is this what they meant by the Promised Land
And I hope
That you
Will find me
I hope
That you
Will find me
Have you ever seen what everything feels like
Let alone what it looks like
I’ve got nothing on my mind
and everything right in front,
You in this moment
I don’t want this night to end
I don’t want this night to end
‘Cause you’re here then you’re gone and
I don’t know what to believe
It feels like I don’t know where I end and where I begin
And I hope
That you
Will find me

I don’t want to be cut open
My skin is not scalpel ready
Are you more of a man
When you know that you can
But I don’t want to be cut open
I don’t want to be cut open
Would you take a knife to origami
And if paper could right itself
In time I might
'Till then I don’t want to be cut open
I won’t fight myself again
I won’t take away my only friend
I won’t fight myself away
But the caption is full
And it’s nearing the end
I don’t want to be cut open
My skin is not shrapnel empty
Though you might think that you see what you will
You may have many spaces to fill
Maybe take the knife to your heart instead
Extract the mess
Leave that old friend back where you had left

Up to U
03:47

We Jumped
Rooftops, and
Kicked up
Cobalt sand, and
Not once
Did I ask you, but
I want
To understand
How did we get this far
I just want to see you
For who you are
It’s up to you
I’m back on the old track, in the backseat
And my armor’s on the conveyor
I’ve been through this enough
Don’t laugh, I wanna see that comma,
On your lips when you say you’re always there
Tell him, I wanna see that comma,
On your mouth when you say forever
It’s up to you
Was it not enough for you
That I was enough for you
Now I’m sailing ships away
Counting off all my mistakes
Only you’re not one
Anymore
It's up to you
I’m open
Don’t throw
I’m open, don’t throw, don’t throw, I’m open
Don’t close
Stay open, stay open

Reincarnation
02:14

I stole faith
And you have someone’s glory
Let’s write it down
And make it like we’re proud
The parting of the crowds
You bring them to me
Let’s write it down
And make it like we’re proud
We will change, I swear we’re gonna change
Forever
Don’t try so hard to walk and think straight
My good friend, she plan ahead
Got lost in the backtrack
Slam a fist in a sea of open palms
I know, it’s some time now
I get caught up and down
And down
I stole faith
And you have someone’s glory
Let’s write it down
And make it like we’re proud
The parting of the seas
You bring them to me
You wrote it down
And made it like you’re proud
We will change, I swear we’re gonna change
We will change, I swear we’re gonna change
We will change, I swear we’re gonna change

if you walk down
down that Roman street
you’ll find me
alone
what’s the only cover?
one core wasted
killing time and emotion
who wins in the end?
if you walk down
down that Roman street
you’ll find me
alone

What Are You Digging For
04:18

What are you digging for?
Sweet mouth, crescent moon
What are you digging for?
Too deep, so deep, are you
What are you looking for?
No dust on the hands of the deceased
No dust off their backs in the movies
Too deep, too soon:
What are you digging for?
Sweet mouth, crescent moon
What are you looking for?
Too deep, Are you
No dust on the hands of the deceased
No dust off their backs in the movies
Too deep, too soon, Are you
What are you digging for?
Sweet mouth, crescent moon
What are you looking for?
Too deep, too soon, Are you
What are you digging for
No dust on the dance of the deceased
No chance and no fault in the movie
Too deep, too soon, Are you
What are you digging for?
Are you?
What are you digging for?
Sweet mouth paper moon
What are you digging for?
Now it’s all you
What are you digging for,
Don’t let them say so,
I won’t go and
I won’t go

Our Shadow
04:00
|

Nevertheless
We were the best of friends
But he must know the consequence
Of wanting all the things that I wanted
I’m finding out the future looks a lot like it did
If you need me
I will follow
If you fall back, I will fall back
Into our shadow
If you need me
Like you will soon
If you fall back, I will fall back
Or try not to
Never again
I’m losing more of me inside of my head
Inside of my head
But suddenly the streets are closing off
And I am starting to cave in
Just leaning on the last words that he said
He said,
If you need me
I will follow
If you fall back, I will fall back
Into our shadow
If you need me
Which you will soon
If you fall back, I will fall back
Into our sha-
-dow, oh love,
Oh, no love
If life is like a song
Life is like a song
A song
If you need me
I will follow
If you fall back I will back into our shadow
If you need me
I will follow
If you fall back I will fall back into our shadow

Eternity
02:13
|

|
I wish that you could stay
But these good things fade
I wish that you could stay
But these good things fade
I wish that you could stay
Hey, just grab a seat and lay
In my arms
For eternity
Or until we go to sleep
But these good things, they fade
and go away

"I will"
04:26
|

I want you
But I can’t keep find
The sun rise
Go down
I want you to know that
The way you throw stones in the water and skulls of the grave
With a notion of a hand
On the radio
‘cause I need to feel at home
I, and I, I will
Go on
No words as long
Now I can’t keep putting fire to the wire then curse at the sun
There wasn’t a time when I didn’t blame myself in the burning eyes of everyone
And they all hate each other but go delta, at the source
They’re all waiting, waiting, waiting for that cloud of force
We’re all waiting,
waiting
For the source
And I, I, I will
Be gone
I will
How can I trust someone if they don’t trust me
I wasn’t looking to be someone I wasn’t trying to be
And if you could rewrite the face of the clock
Maybe you wouldn’t be too late and too early too much
And that’s all
I can tell you boy
I want you
But I can’t keep find
The sun rise
Go down
I, and I, I will
Be gone
I want you
But I can’t keep find
The sun rise
And I, want you
But I can’t keep find
The sun rise
Go down

Heavy Rain
05:06

Wait
watched away
overstate
All of the thoughts you
swept away
are making their way
into the fog
Wait
gone away
overstate
cornered and crawling
like heavy rain
making its way
into the fog
In Love
Moving to
Foreign rooms
(What it could be,
Could be.)
It once
wasn’t so holding
It hurts to know
That one breath
That one breath holds
Our Love
Here are
And Here we stay :
Love

Come to me
In the wild world
Come to me
In the wild world
Hold you up
Hold you up, no fear
We are free
Come to me
In the wild world
Hold you up
Hold you up, baby
Come to me
Come to me
In the wild world
Hold you up
Hold you up, no fear
We are free
Come to me
In the wild world
Come to me
