So hurt can't do this anymore
You're wide awake and watching yourself in the mirror drinking all the
Blood from everything they said
Everything they swear they didn't mean
It burns never felt this fire before
You feel your heart smolder as you watch them leave again
Blood and money on the floor
Everything but love, it left a scene
All this passion I'm filled with must be terminal
I'm just a timeline with a voice and heart
If this is what it takes to save our lives, then so be it
I've been numb to the mixture that's been creeping in again
By the time I taste the poison it'll be too late to spit out
I've been deaf to the questions you've been asking me
By the time I found the answer would you have stuck around to hear it
So hurt can't do this anymore
You're wide awake and watching yourself in the mirror drinking all the
Blood from everything they said
Everything that they swear they didn't mean
It burns never felt this fire before
You feel your heart smolder as you watch them leave again
Blood and money on the floor
Everything but love, it left a scene
Flashbacks to the old house
Where does my mind go
Been making trash from treasure
Blue blood turns white gold
Live action heart surgery
Draw in an audience
The song is just for looks now
The glow for ambiance
I’ll show you iridescence
In all the saddest ways
I am wearing black to mask it
Shown colors fade away
You said please go live fluorescent
Love is only a hot mess and
I don’t know how to function much
But I’ll give it my best
Is this painful, or euphoric? Oh
Ignore or explore it Oh yeah
Ignore or explore it Oh yeah
Painful or euphoric Oh
Well I guess you rang
It’s 3 o’clock in the morning
And cataclysmically speaking
What the hell were we thinking
Emotions, lines, and shapes
Connect heart to brain
Cause you’re just the sigh before the words I love you
I’m that feeling when you just can’t fall asleep
Gave me another drop
Maybe two or more
And then we forgot
Going through the motions
Gave all that she got
Left him numb and distraught;
With that novocaine, that cocaine, that hurricane
She watched the blood stream from his eyes and nose like the movies
Drank the tincture of his life force
Like marshmallow smoothies
And they’ll eat what we drop, those vultures, they’re scavenging secondhand information
You’re always missing something
But never missing out
And you’d better believe it, or do you even see it yet?
Did you lose your whereabouts turning up with nothing
But something you can write about that no one cares to hear you sing aloud
I’m sipping on transgressions and alchemy
Pushed in the deep end where I like to think
That stress only makes diamonds
Til I’m hands up spinning, sucked down the drain til I drown
So say you’re sick to your stomach and I’m so sick in the head
Insecure and wholly incomplete again
The tension in your voice is making me homesick, ten forty nine away
The bed we lie isn't all that we wanted, but it’s the one we made
It’s hard to swallow drink it down with the potion, and show me what you see
Through hollowed that once held the world up
I’ve seen eternity

Hibernation

Float away with the breeze of the ceiling fan again
Oh, my God, I feel so different
I've never felt this way before
Kinda feels like home
Powerful beautiful nothing at all
You gust of wind!
Sapphire at the bottom of the water blending in again
When I lie still as a statue
And drown everything out
Am I talking or am I listening
When I fast forward my days
And lay my nights back down
There are songs inside here and they must be heard, they must be
Don't hold you back now don't hold me back
This is the bend of a river not the break of a bone woah
Grow and adapt, adapt and grow
Til I die or find certainty
Glory's in the struggle onward
Living is the hardest part
'Cause death comes so easy
I held the love I have in life
Against the inward waterfall
Transformed from a human heart
Renewing and revealing
On replay or skipping to the ending
Each thing in this place washes into itself
Ever imploding color and sound
I guess you'd better help you
Oh well I hope you go and help yourself
On replay or skipping to the ending
Each thing in this place washes into itself
Ever imploding color and sound
I guess you'd better help you
I hope you go and help yourself
Waking up just to fall asleep again
Dipping in and out of unconsciousness
We gotta get this all up off the floor
And take ourselves back Home
Relentless internal billowing fire
You're gonna burn me down
Moving forward past this empty distraction again
Spring is here! I know you're sleeping, I know you need it
Lose your fears, the sun is coming! The times are changing!
Crawl from your cave and see the morning! see the revival!
Daylight breaks! I know it's warmth is what you've been craving!
And I swear by the stars that everything around us is just a played facade
But there are songs inside here and they must be heard, they must be
Don't hold you back now don't hold me back
This is the bend of a river not the break of a bone, woah
Grow and adapt, adapt and grow

Who are you and what do you say?
Skip the small talk and tell me what you're feeling now
I know that everyone's been playing the same songs
And you're here dying for a lot more
Sift through reality and find all that's fake
Put yourself out there on the edge
I know that everyone's been watching the same screens
And you're just here starving for the real things again
I know that everyone's been
Watching the same screens
And you're right here dying to be living again
So where did you come from
Why didn't this last long
Why can't this be less predictable
And well there's no conversation; reconciliation
Consistency in all the wrong places
I know that everyone's been watching the same screens
And you're just here starving for the real things again
I know that everyone's been
Watching the same screens
And you're right here dying to be living again
Is this the song that you wanted to hear?
All you sinners and saints, are we coming home here
Are these not the words you've been dreading in fear?
While scrambling, while tearing everything down?
Yeah, is this the song?
Could this be the rhythm?
Tomorrow's incentive is yesterday's prison
No apologetics though all is forgiven
If this is the song that you wanted to hear
Who are you and what do you say
Skip the small talk and tell me what you're feeling now
I know that everyone's been playing the same songs
I know that everyone's been
watching the same screens
And you're just here starving for the real things again
I know that everyone's been
Watching the same screens
And you're right here dying to be living again
Same episode, just a different show

I'm all alone just surrounded by color and pain
And the things that I heard you say once
Back of the room with your soul spilling out, you got the front of the room into a frenzied chaos
Take life by the throat take the gun out their hands
I gotta go, baby, get out of bed now
I hit the floor now I don't dream anymore
And wake up running into nightmares somehow
Into nightmares somehow
Come on, American kid, you'd better fight fair
Don't show them up and never go show out
And you forgot about the tides this time
Fall back in line, you're no brother of mine
Come on, American kid, you'd better fight fair
Don't show them up and never go show out
And you forgot about the tides this time
Fall back in line, you're no brother of mine
I'm all alone just surrounded by color and pain
And the things that I heard you say once
Back of the room with your soul spilling out you got the front of the room into a frenzied chaos
Take life by the throat take the gun out their hands
I gotta go, baby, get out of bed now
I hit the floor now I don't dream anymore
And wake up running into nightmares somehow
Into nightmares somehow
I can't believe what was said to me
Ya know I thought you were my friend
Felt so good to have friends become family
But I just tripped into a web
And got bit by a spider
And it made me so very fucking sick
And I can't believe what was said to me
Ya know I thought you were my friend
Hopelessness
Belly up with nothing left
I admire such silk artistry, but I can’t feel my fucking limbs
Cold; unfeeling
It’s like I’m pleading with the dead
Now effectively dissolving blanketed inside your web
I can't believe what was said to me
Ya know I thought you were my friend
Felt so good to have friends become family
But I just tripped into a web
And got bit by a spider
And it made me so very fucking sick
And I can't believe what was said to me
Ya know I thought you were my friend

Exit signs and red tail lights for miles
I'm sick of being here
Thoughts of you swim the back of my mind like koi in aquarium
My heart is always talking to my brain
At times it's out of things to say
Lately it only sings your name and how being there is all I've needed
It's all I needed
Take me to a place where I feel at home
Never love another one half as much
Stick me to what I say on my way up, it's all I need and
Take me back like a glass of wine
Bring me to the memories I left to die
Hold me to the promises I made weeping at your bedside
If you could teach me to pray
I need a different language
Change my mind and set a pace
To high and future places
The big picture is worth all the words inside the book
86 the drama, just a flash in the pan
Gut feeling like a fish on the hook again
Just to, just to be thrown back in
I don't need more or less of anything to believe that just being there is all I've needed
It's all I needed
Sirens in the city could make you feel shitty
Could make you feel pretty
Could make you feel wonderful
Five fingers staring back from your hand
Take it now it’s your chance
You’re the man with the plan, Stan!
Push against the current fight a constant incline
Kings can have their kingdoms but the legacy’s all mine
Dissect every word show the world what you find
Knock me on me on my ass that’s fine, I
(When I fall eight times I’m gonna get up nine
When I fall eight times, I'm gonna get up
When I fall eight times, I'm gonna get up nine
When I fall eight times, I'm gonna get up!)
Fell down eight times got up nine
I'm in the belly of the beast
Just swallowed by my time
Fall down eight times get up nine
And bet I'll come back swinging every time, bitch!
Fell down eight times got up nine
I'm in the belly of the beast
Just swallowed by my time
Fall down eight times get up nine
And bet I'll get up swinging every time
If you could teach me to pray
I need a different language
Change my mind and set a pace
To high and future places
Turn the cheek and walk away
In ways we're all pretty and tasteless
Guess I'll be on my way, oh
To high and future places
The sirens in the city could make you feel shitty
Could make you feel pretty
Could make you feel wonderful
Five fingers staring back from your hand
Take it now it’s your chance, you’re the man with the plan Stan!
The sirens in the city could make you feel shitty
Could make you feel pretty
Could make you feel wonderful
Five fingers staring back from your hand
Take it now it’s your chance, you’re the man with the plan!
