Drowns Out

when you feel yourself breathing
while you’re asleep
is it really real
or is it really a dream?
the days of sleeping late
and staying in are gone
now we wake
to a premature sun
and the boredom drowns out everything
yea the boredom drowns out everything
and it’s the same old party everywhere
but somehow i keep ending up there
you keep me warm
until the sun rises
we wait ‘til dawn
and then close our eyes
only to wake later
to another surprise
the truth is in our beds
wrapped in a blanket of lies
the truth is in our beds
wrapped in a blanket of lies
i’m in love with your gold hair
and the color of your eyes
but the boredom drowns out everything
the boredom drowns out everything

the sun rises but it's still dark
we pulled ourselves apart to get here
i'll be back again
it's a telepathic emotional drought
it's a telepathic emotional drought
it's a telepathic emotional drought
neither of us could figure it out
i couldn't save you
wish i had just known how to try
i'm sorry
the sun will set for me too
but i'll be here again
it's a telepathic emotional drought
it's a telepathic emotional drought
it's a telepathic emotional drought
neither of us could figure it out

Like A Child

when summer faded into fall
you taught me everything
without trying at all
the cold came on too fast
and everything good is gone
erase my writing on the wall
without you it means nothing at all
running from yourself you hide
you gave up before you even tried
only wanted to begin
just can't win
there's only one girl
who has a smile
that can make me feel
like a child

i'm not drunk i'm just stuck in here
its 4:17 Am but i'm still not there
this song could've been good
but i just don't care
this song could've been good
but i just don't give a shit
see my breath in here
i see the fear
but it's not mine this time
nothing hidden or to hide
who knows anything
i don't, i won't, i don't
who knows anything
i sure as hell don't
you don't like my words but i
sing them for you anyway
you don't like my songs but i
play them for you anyway
and you are the one
i think about the most

Anchor of Words
06:13
|
|||
|
we reach for everything
we lean on everyone
baby you're better than the best
best questions are never asked
baby you're better than the best
fragile means nothing to broken glass
when we're walking around
i'm dancing in your steps
and i'm looking for something
but finding something else
words just feel like an anchor sometimes
(please don't sink now, please don't sink now)

I Don't Have An Alien

it gets cold in the summer
and i don't have an alien
when did they all stop believing in me
when did i stop believing in everything
they all fed me to the lions
they didn't realize i liked it
now the air is getting breathable
and the sun is all i need
i'm alone and i'm not sad
summer keeps me company
if you're alone don't feel bad
let the evening keep you company
those days we laid in the grass
you put your blonde head on my chest
i pushed you softly away
but you'll always be the best
let me sink into my cave
but it's all beginning now for you
i'll just sink into my cave
but it's all beginning now for you
i'm alone and i'm not sad
this evening keeps me company
i know you're alone but don't feel bad
let the sun keep you company

It's Only Skin
04:28

such pretty things
all beautifully disguised
the same mirages appear
to me every night
in a place where birds
just fall from the sky
no one to cry for
when all the heroes have died
you sleep eyes open
with your woman by your side
i sleep eyes closed
with nothing to hide
some of us were
only born to die
some of us have
never even been alive
it's only skin
it's only skin
the beauty you seek
is only as vast
as your soul is deep
eventually ugly
is all that we can keep
handshakes get you as many
enemies as friends
a smile today is just
a frown around the bend
faces all of shining
ghosts in my dreams
the sirens always wake me
up before i sleep
some of us were
only born to die
some of us have
never even been alive
it's only skin
it's only skin
