VERSE I thought i'd never trust a light in the dark And I'd never have a moment to appreciate it all But these understandings get right in the way Of proving that I was a fool to not get up again How hard should you have to fight? How hard should you have to fight? VERSE Do I beg to silently scream? Do I even break out of this cage that I'm in But I feel a memory, I hold it again Are you another trophy for my sin? Or are you going to bring the light in? Are you going to bring the light in? BRIDGE Don't think at all Don't be afraid I've left it all behind me now We all make mistakes Fortunately I got a need to come home Best thoughts are with us now The truth is all known Yes now the truth is all known VERSE You're so easy on the mind, not too hard on the eyes I'm no poker player, this is not a disguise Even if I seem to act so unwise I'll never get out of this cage I describe Every single light in the dark Your my every single light in the dark
2.
VERSE Take a look, love. Do you like how I built this? Can you see any merit? Can you even believe it? Take a seat, dear Let me explain the notion Can you see where I'm coming from? Can you believe we're all done? PRE-CHORUS Oh, I've been thinking a lot tonight Time and time again, I'm feeling like I have got to move on Oh, the old blinking eye trick is worn out You won't fall for that, so I will not insult or injure(...no no) CHORUS All I've loved and all you've hated It couldn't be more complicated but I don't think it's right To push this off another night All I have and all I've wanted To be part of this house you've haunted I don't think it's right To hide dark in the light VERSE Call it what you will Make a beating heart stand still Rehash names of our past loves I've been thinking way too much... PRE-CHORUS Oh, I've been dreaming a lot tonight Time and time again, I'm feeling like I have got to move on Oh, the old blinking eye trick is worn out You won't fall for that, so I will not insult or injure(...no no) LAST CHORUS Things I've seen and all you've witnessed A fatal flaw, this failing business We're holding on too tight To push this off another night The winds have come and left you frozen While I wake up with another human This all ends tonight Yeah, this all ends tonight
3.
VERSE I used to scan the room, pretend to be a knight in the armor or a worthless king Hopped up pride, an ego's treat When you get that lost, yeah you've got to leave PRE-CHORUS Thinking about you, brings me right back Thinking too much, and I just crack VERSE The capitol, crime of love Is thinking that, you're the one above We're beautiful, in the beholder's eye Afraid that if we crack, the other will fly CHORUS Maybe we should nail our feet to the ground So we could stand tall, not runaway Maybe we should hold on tight to each other And talk the night away Maybe I should deliver on these things. These things that, I keep promising I know that you could never let me down and I can't seem to BRIDGE Take my hand a moment, let me explain Taking sides in a fight, nobody can win
4.
VERSE: You, you lick my wounds and quell the fumes of the fire you set inside my heart (You set in my heart) You, you know your role and fuel the soul of this poor and wretched creature, now (You did it just now) CHORUS: Don’t you, don’t you know? I’m swaying to the breeze and tango Just figuring the right way to go...out for the night Don’t you, don’t you see? All this presence and without a place to be A crime that’s going down in history...but it’s alright VERSE: I, support your cause and hold the laws of nature somewhere deep within my bones (Within my bones) If, I ever saw a single flaw, I must be going crazy. I won’t let the world poison my heart... when it comes to you now BRIDGE: Can’t you see the sunrise? Can’t you feel...? The certainty between us, yeah it feels so real We both spent many years now, wandering from coast to coast But it’s you I see when I close my eyes, yes you I feel the most
5.
VERSE I'm so reluctant, so shit-faced, cheap, bored and buried Don't ask me to control, my own simple reactions I'm just an animal prone to outbursts of violence If I could be put down would you want to have a go ? PRE-CHORUS How far, the distances, in between, tell me now Can we look, past ourselves, and become, something else? CHORUS There's war on the table Won't you let me in? Casting doubt in the wrong direction We're on the table Won't you let me in? There's something about this state we're living in Pointing blame in the wrong direction We're all on the table Won't you let me in? VERSE Bestill my broken heart Revert to ancient wisdom tell me how they used to live Bring the cross into the building We're all just animals Some more evolved than others Too open to control Somehow we'll stop OUTRO Tell me how to live Don't you want a piece of this? Is it too late to come home? There's something in these bones (x4)

Low Lights 03:02
VERSE Party animal Your voice gets louder Drink a little more You're such a charmer Well a lot of people say that you're off the deep end I won't argue But a lot of folks say you're doing fine Who knows what's the truth? CHORUS In the nighttime If it feels right Let it get a little crazy inside In the nighttime In the the low light In the meantime Feel nostalgia I admit that I'm worried about ya In the low light Doesn't feel right VERSE Pour another one The glass gets fuller Then it all comes out and you want another Now a lot a of people don't have the same reaction They're not like you If I seem a little shaken up, what can I tell you? Come on, let's get gone
7.
VERSE These drinks, they flock to me A liquid currency And too much time to regulate this poison unto me Do you know the things you do? I used to do them to, But now I see a drowning in the water under you VERSE Be well, you say it true But don't be so black and blue You're moving on to oceans where you'll never find the truth You're still a small fish, can't master this So why try to expand Good luck among those animals, I'll stay here on the land CHORUS (x2) Oh, I know i'll never get you back Oh, I know i'll never get you back Oh, I know i'll never get you back But avoid the river, call me crazy BRIDGE Small fish! Can't master this! No Concrete! Under your feet! In vitro fundamentalist! Don't get sick of all the poison!
8.
VERSE: I was a mess and you were a wreck Both lying facedown in the kitchen After another long night of drinking It was time for self-reflection But this is the truth... Are you feeling it too? Rather than hash out a plan to stop this What say you grab another bottle and we ride this to it’s logical conclusion? CHORUS: But here’s another lesson to, Any other travelers like you Who fa-a-a-all asleep at the wheel your turning Don’t tell me you got a deathwish, friend Effect a turnaround You drove along... that road until the street sign, became a thing to wrap around VERSE: We were a waste But we could be more Than lying facedown on the kitchen floor After another long night of drinking more... than healing our resentment Tell me your truth Are you feeling it too? Rather than waking up feeling black and blue How bout we learn another lesson too... And get the fuck out of the kitchen?

Overcast 03:05
VERSE: Oh oh oh oh won’t take me down the hallway of your memory? We could fix some things and wipe the slate clean Noooo I don’t think that process can be done so easily Though I wish with every fiber of me; bring me where i’m “not to go” CHORUS: Ohhh oh oh oh First it’s fast and then it’s slow but all these connections let me down Take your time and good may come, but the uninterested sun will stay only as long as it can, before it has to cross the land VERSE: Ohhhh have we chipped at least a little piece away tonight? Or are we in for a bout of “you’re wrong, i’m right”? Noooo there might not be the time to argue for seniority Please don’t steal the healing moments from me; I fear it may be over soon BRIDGE: Don’t you recognize the signs? The heartache that I went through is keeping me alive She was a disaster you know No more lying to yourself, let’s take that higher road You’ve got someone depending on you now

Don't Follow 05:10
VERSE I'm lifting my spirits again In the bottle or under my chin Whatever I can get, or whatever is given to me And I walk down the alleyways Looking for something to cool my days And you know I just can't stand the way that you're looking at me PRE-CHORUS All that I have left to say Now that your Gods got in the way No I can't seem to find the words or the melody CHORUS Don't you, don't you blame it on me Cuz I can't seem to get to my feet Don't you act like you don't believe There's no one else to blame but me When I lost you to the night It should've come as no surprise Now all that’s left to write... "Don't follow, I won't lead" VERSE I'm up and i'm at it again But I'm not making any sense And I can't seem to shake the feeling that's come over me All my make-up from day to day Feels so empty with nothing to say But those feelings inside, they don't seem to go away PRE-CHORUS Now that you have see the things Inside my head and all they bring No you can't seem to find the words or the melody

about

Took long enough to put this bad boy together, but here it is. Definitely a mix of different genres, there was plenty of wing-stretching going on. Hopefully it all came through in a semi-cohesive manner.
