Shatter 04:07
lyrics

When I was still young I found you in the rink I saw truth in you You saw truth in me So I gave you my heart You gave me your all I saw all your scars! You wrapped my injuries. So I won't let you down. wretched. fighting. friendly. fire. taking. pieces. breaking. bones. screaming. yelling. throwing. shatter. yearning. lonely. doesn't. matter. I don't wanna leave you broken. I won't leave the kids all broken. I refuse to blow the horn now. It's worth the fight but i'm still struggling. I've died one thousand times And killed you even more stab me in the chest I miss you just the same. When I was still young, I found you in the rink. I found you in the skating rink. I loved you way back then. I love you 'till I die.

I tried to run but my legs were gone I tried to scream and my voice was gone you've lost that power and I can tell by the way you stand like you carry a loaded gun you still think you can shoot me down but I had a particular dream that made me realize I should hate you more than I do and I would bring the sun down to the earth lay it down into a hearse take the moon down too if only it'd keep you warm I'd level mountains with a knife I'd dig a grave and give my life If I had to I tried to run but my legs were gone I tried to scream and my voice was gone you've lost that power and I can tell by the way you stand like you carry a loaded gun you still think you can shoot me down but I had a particular dream that made me realize I should hate you more than I do Atleast I know that I can say I never let you down Atleast I know that I can say I never let you down Atleast I know that I can say I never let you down Atleast I know that I can say I never let you down

Bloody & Sincere 04:35
lyrics

One morning I woke up and you were gone Like the cool air on a summer morning You were fleeting You were there You were brushing your fingers through your hair One moment would last for at least a day in that empty room like a murderscene you were bloody you were raw you were distant like the days that you felt like a kid I won't try to pull you back to earth anymore I won't take a pause from the noise to whisper I didn't install your shiny veneer You're the same as you were I can see you in truth and find you sincere Listen even if it kills you tonight One evening I pulled up and you had torn all your sheetrock from the rising wood beams You were furious you were bold You were sobbing in the cold on a winter's eve I tried to give you shelter but you stayed in the freezing cold on that evening You were finished you were had you were looking for a way out I didn't install your shiny veneer You're the same as you were I can see you in truth and find you sincere Listen even if it kills you tonight and I will find you lying on the bathroom floor

Worthy? 03:27
lyrics

Do you think that you can see me? I'm praying that you can. I don't really mind the oversleep, Its curse I do deserve. Believe me - I'm caught in the middle of a crossfire. Don't heal me - I made my shackles from chicken wire. Don't think me - I don't want a memory. Do you think that I need to find some peace? Something to release? Does it spark your mind? The need to cause a scene? Fire with kerosene. Believe me - I'm caught in the middle of a crossfire. Don't heal me - I made my shackles from chicken wire. Don't think me - I don't want a memory. yeah believe me yeah don't heal yeah don't think me do you think that you can see me? yeah believe me yeah don't heal yeah don't think me do you think you can believe me? I'm caught in the middle of a crossfire. Don't heal me - I made my shackles from chicken wire. Don't think me - I don't want a memory.

WholeFoods 03:26
lyrics

I caught your face at that old grocery store off 21, I knew because the store sold out organics. It's kinda funny, you were brutal to my fragile self-image, I still look back so fondly I wouldn't change it. i wouldn't knock. I think what happened was not all wrong, but I think we had a chance in another life. I saw the picture, now you're married and you have a kid. and I won't lie - the shock went down my body. and when the days get cold, you'll find your warmth in him and I think that's a good thing I wouldn't change it. I wouldn't knock. I think what happened was not all wrong but I think we had a chance in another life I'm not sure why my heart still has its moments where it breaks, we've gone so many years without a sentence! I was not ready for more, I would have wound up lying on the bathroom floor! I'm thankful for all the pain you caused me. If I could change it, I still would not. I'm almost thankful we don't belong Because I think we're gonna live two amazing lives. yeah, I think we're gonna live two amazing lives. I caught your face at that old grocery It's kinda funny how much damage you would do I caught your face at that old grocery store looking for organic coffee creamer

Regurgitate 02:51
lyrics
buy track
I'll be the first to admit that I'm naive I fall too fast, too hard, too sure when I know I shouldn't. each time I give up a little piece without a price. so when I tell you I want you I need to know so tell me the truth when I ask: if I regurgitate my sins and I vomit on the cross, would you stab me just in case? if for a moment I am weak but mostly I am strong, will you sleep with someone else to hide it better than me? Lately, I know i'm decided Yet i remain I'm starting to feel like a masochist that does it for words and when you laid your head on my chest and laid your body into my bed and held my hand until we both fell asleep I didn't dare to ask if I regurgitate my sins and I vomit on the cross, would you stab me just in case? if for a moment I am weak but mostly I am strong, will you sleep with someone else to hide it better than me?

Russian Roulette 03:36
lyrics

I made the call to waste your time And I didn't regret it You know I said it I tried to find myself in you but I didn't roulette it yeah I can't chance it Youth is wasted on the young ruffians you were speaking of sex & love & war & kissing under the moon God would hate your swoonful nature a forest won't grow unless you speak it so I attempted to care but I wouldn't I strove to fix it but I couldn't I dug a well for you to drink I stole a glance at your sheen I built a shrine to your faults I found a way to tear it down I found a way to build you up I found a way to kill you quietly "you're the one that I want" yeah that's easy to say when you're worked up so hard that your face has a hue and its red and its true to the feeling that you're desperately trying to hide Youth is wasted on the young ruffians you were speaking of sex & love & war & shouting up to the moon God would change his tune to hear you now The forest is dead, you killed it with your hands

The Parties & The Bars (feat. Oyeme) 03:13
lyrics

I can tell when I'm the black sheep in the room I'm kinda awkward at the parties and the bars and I try too hard to make them laugh so when they leave most the time they don't invite me and half the time when they invite me or I ask they leave and don't return my call all too often I'd lay alone in that dim-lit empty room I'd think about all of the parties they were having I'd think about them all day long. I wished I could talk the same way they were talking walk as nice as they were walking be the center of the parties and the bars

Kerosene 03:48
lyrics

Your hands are shaking Your breath is heaving A simple mistake Your thoughts are racing Your hairs are raising You've got nowhere to run You sip on kerosene. The way you go to sleep. You sip on kerosene. Don't see the way you fall. Sip on kerosene. Don't watch. You're always on the go Compared to what it cost I'd say we're sitting ducks I know that it ain't right To try to break the ties that hold the gods in place I wish I could change the past. I wish I could find you a home. I watch the way you fall - you sip on kerosene! The way you go to sleep. You sip on kerosene! Don't see the way you fall. Sip on kerosene! Don't watch. You've been falling for a long time I can tell you're still breathing you're not dead yet. you're not! I watch the way you fall - you sip on kerosene! The way you go to sleep. You sip on kerosene! Don't see the way you fall. Sip on kerosene! Don't watch.

Lightingwell (feat. Tuckow) 02:37
lyrics

I stumbled upon this well when I was young back then this well, it seemed so full But it began to drought when I took more pail by pail, a drink of light Let me pail a cup of your sum and bring yours to surface. and your light was only half enough I'm drowning Let me take a sip of your light to quench my unrelenting thirst Give me vision in the night It's blinding Can I get a fix from your little lighting well the more I gasp for air. the rope breaks so I reach in. my desperate hand reached in; I fell down your lightingwell. Let me pail a cup of your sum and bring yours to surface. and your light was only half enough I'm drowning Let me take a sip of your light to quench my unrelenting thirst Give me vision in the night I'm blinded
