Excerpt 03:12
Time: stop, stare Muffled; it's still unclear. Where are we going? What am I doing? Do I belong somewhere? So I'm a washed up dreamer Falling apart I look so- so different When I see her With a bleeding heart A bleeding heart If it should be that I grow weak and Pain should keep me from my sleep Well let me leave If it should be that I can't see What it is I am leaving Well hold me still and speak to me
2.
Cornered 02:30
I'm a mess and cornered Deafening, I always get torn But there are no strings on tonight I know what this is and I'll keep it in sight Hands are shaking, eyes are steady My focus unraveling, but I know the course I'm heading But there are no strings on tonight I know what this is and I'll keep it in sight We're not done yet We're not done yet Now your ghosts are all around me And I can't find my feet Nightmares are getting impatient (I plead) Swallowing me

sour taste 02:47
Sour taste in her mouth Another day of the month Rain's painting with certainty But all of it's invisible to me She smiles and nods Says she loves her god On my own doesn't mean alone But it's just time for her to leave Sour taste in my mouth Seems everything's pointed south What I thought I had with certainty Was unrequited to me
4.
Take Me Back 03:43
Life's vices Our nine to five and licenses don't Compare to what I've got here Lord preserve my soul I don't remember Half of what I told her And too fast, I backtrack And finish last Take me back Take me in, let me back. I crack And I am taking more than I can But take me back This Goliath is Getting old And my charade is Coming down We are the broken, but honest and I can Honestly say I'm living now Thoughts spilled off my tongue. Now, I've nowhere to run But I'll count and keep my pieces Take me back Take me in, let me back. I crack And I am taking more than I can But take me back x3
5.
Boyhood 03:26
Mom and dad told me: slow it down But mom and dad don't know what's allowed In my own boyhood, I have found Everyone pushing me on and out I'm on the pursuit of happiness Trying to figure myself out And everyone else is just coming down Infected with life, it's mine now Boyhood, boyhood Dad, he was a mean drunk. Momma fell Down too far to get out Sometimes you get love endowed Sometimes you live your life a hell Boyhood x2 Now I can't sleep - it's too loud Born to a path in which I am bound Where I get less as evermore Washed up on my conscious shore Am I a ghost story? Etching echoes? Cause it'd be easy to let go Ninety-seven seconds, no one knows Where we're going, but we go Boyhood x2 Mom and dad told me x2
6.
Fever 01:39
Take back The words that you left unsaid 'Cause all I see now What I let get in (-side my head) Catch and release 'Till my scene ceases to please In this fever, Out of reach
7.
Separate 04:19
I used to be in love With the world around me And the stars revealed by the setting sun But that character's been cleaned Separated like blood and sweat on my skin Separating the divides within Separated. The one sin Oh kid, you're too far in The lies I'm fine with It's not your fault, but I can't just suck it up And they don't care about us I can't shake off my rust God, I'm so sick of it: our problems compounding You can feel it surrounding you Still it's your life you're living But are you really living? Separated like blood and sweat on my skin Separating the divides within Separated. The one sin Oh kid, you're too far in x2
8.
Locked in, spare (the worst) Retention tensioning Meaningless melancholic minutia Leaving the living Oh, one of these mornings You're gonna rise up. Memories Are laces unstringing Nothing more to give up On the Stairwell Well, Well You're screaming out Softly killing from the inside Around my back door Oh, you're crushing us Your name held in lights So distant Where are you? It Ends In a Whimper It ends in a whimper It ends in a whimper It ends in a whimper
9.
Can't Sleep 03:30
I can't sleep Because I see myself in you And it chills me to the bone It's an illness I can't treat No, I can't sleep But I'm never waking up Say 'write what you know' I can't do a sonnet or a poem Say 'I already know ...Just what you're about to say' I can't stay But I hear it anyway And it chills me to the bone It's an illness I can't treat No, I can't sleep But I'm never waking up
10.
Anyway 01:49
