You're critic is wrong love
i'm tearing his walls down
He's runnin a ghost town
i'm burning it down down
You're critic will hide out
in shadows he will crawl
and i'm building a lighthouse
when i find him he's hell bound

Don't take it personal, It's purely chemical
Dark thinking clouded mind you spin me out of control
Here's one for fleeting cures one more to break the fall
Go Demon back to hell now, the sun is comin out!
Go Demon back to hell (Repeats)
The sun is coming out (Repeats)

Six Drinks

say what you mean tonight
cause we're running out of time
i'm three drinks deep and just calm enough for therapy
just say what you mean alright
cause it's only a matter of time
now i'm four drinks deep and still brave enough for what you think
Just say it i know you're right, just say it i know you're right, just say it i know you're right. I know it's my coping device
When i'm six drinks deep you can still get to me, but i won't slow down
not for you or anyone not strong enough, hit hard, can you wake me up
can you talk me down, can you help me out
(tough love is hitting hard, not giving up)
just say i know you're right, just say it i know you're right.

Don't build up walls, you'll have to tear them down and the thicker your walls are the weaker is your voice
you'll scream so loud, but you buried yourself down your far below the ground and it's getting heavy on your back.
oh brother i know, what it feels like , to hide out under the sheets, to cry out in defeat and to restless to fall asleep
oh sweet water, soak our arid skin
oh sweet rain, restore our weary soul
Breathe the air within our lungs
and put the the song back on our tongues
we are tired. send the rain down on our backs
our will to live is fading fast

Trains - The Green World
03:11
|

In my mind I caught a train it was moving fast it was moving places
i've never been
if my eyes can see these places, if my limbs could walk these places
i would start my life all over again
in my life i've said too much, i've shown a face i've made mistakes i can't take back, oh if i can take back
in my life i've said too much, i've shown a face i've made mistakes i can't take back, oh if ic an take back
and oh i regret…
in my life I've made mistakes so i take these trains from my mistakes
and try to start my life all over again
and if my eyes can see these places, in my limbs can walk these spaces
i would start my life all over again
In this place i've said too much i've shown a face i've made mistakes
i can't take back, oh if i could take back
(and oh I regret, I regret)
I'm leaving, and I don't care, I'm leaving, and i don't care
i don't care, i don't care, i don't care. I'm just scared. I'm leaving
and i don't care. i'm leaving. and i don't care , i don't care, i don't care, i'm just scared.
i'm leaving.

I wish it was the fourth of July
and I long for the brightest night sky, light up my life
cause i have become so uninspired and sleep when i'm not tire
and i , oh i've tried, to let myself go, instead of feeling so alone
Damn these feet are made of stone, this air i breathe just clogs my throat
so i've screamed until i've screamed a sound, anything to spin you around
come on, if i had an hour left to live would it change me back to the kid i used to be, i never needed useless rest, i was conned by carelessness
Damn these feet are made of stone, this wire i breathe just clogs my throat
so i've screamed until i've screamed a sound, anything to spin you around
please
free these feet they drag me down,
clear my throat so i can sing a new song
i have to give this one more try,
if my heart beats i'm still alive
(repeat these lines)

The Prisoner
04:33
|

"You've lost sight of all that's good in life,
and you have lost your will to even fight.
Those thoughts you hear at night,
it's never quiet in the caverns of your mind.
A fire has been imprisoned in your heart,
and you've forgotten how to let it out.
You believe all that you hear when you look into
the mirror of your life..
let it out… let it out.. "

Little Girl

Through the haze. you could never see it straight
as chemicals took you far way. numb the pain and you feel it all decay
when you awake, does it hit you all at once. Another day, you watch it go to waste. Kill the pain, but your the one that will decay.
and I have seen you take a dive it's in your eyes. and i have watched you slowly die it's in your eyes
little girl was the world to big for me. little pills did they help you with the fear, was i not there? did it see nobody cared?
if i could take it all away you know i would, but I just watched you slowly dieI should have held you in my arms, give to you what you craved all along.
I wish i knew just what I could have changed, I look back now what difference could I've made.
If i could reach out to you now, you know I would. but i just watched you slowly die. I should have held you in my arms, give to you what you craved all along.
I regret, how i left you on your own
as chemicals made you feel much more at home
little girl, i wasn't big enough for you.

Seven Steps Away
04:20
|
|||
|
Do you feel too lost to reach
through the webs, that you spun yourself deep into
a fragile wall you'd break through but you can't
Are you looking at a map?
through their eyes, have they plotted out a future
have they paved the road before you but you can't drive
Do you feel the sting of time?
rushing by, does it forced you to believe your always seven steps away
from all that you desire
one, a healthy life
two, a lovely life
three, a happy family
four, steady money
five, a stable mind
six, a Christian lifestyle
seven, make it to heaven
Are you paralyzed by fear of going nowhere, do you see yourself in ten years a failed attempt at anything you meant to have
repeat chorus.

Selfish Man
02:34

Sortin through the wreckage today. just dealing with the pain
thinking about the choices i make, dealing with the shame
May God, shed some light when i see doubt
May God, show me strength when i give up
trying to make some sense of a life, so quickly it ends
feeling the weight of time that i waste so filled with regret
May God, lift the burden of my debt
May God, give me grace when i forget
Does God love the likes of a such a selfish man
I am a Selifish man, to live how i have lived. I am a selfish man.
to live how i have lived. so easy I forget. so easy i forget..

I will shake my Demon. I will shake my Demon
I will find help I swear. I will find help I swear
I see a darkness dwells in me
and i call out for you
you are the light when i am lost
my heart burns for you
I will shake my demon. I will shake my demon
I see a darkness dwells in me
and i call out for you
you are the light when i am lost
my heart burns for you

i feel the Devil on my shoulder
i hear him whisper and it's quite clear he ain't leaving me tonight
I try to gain control but i'm caught up
my thoughts are chaos and they don't stop they will win this battle tonight
and the walls. and the walls. and the walls. are closing in again.
as he tells. as he tells. as he tells me the sum of what I am.
I see the daylight through my window, this fucker has kept me up the whole damn night, couldn't spare me on ounce of sleep.
I am the walking dead in the early hours. I am a begging man with a desperate shout, can you make it stop tonight?
and the rain. and the rain. and the rain is pouring out again.
as he tells. as he tells. as he tells. me the sum of what i am.
have i fallen from Grace? Angel of Mine. Am I too far gone? Angel of Mine
and the walls. and the walls. and the walls. are closing in again.
as he tells. as he tells. as he tells me the sum of what i am.

The Painter

Ain't it strange, something to clear but easy to forget
through the haze, something brilliant when you lease expect
like warmth on a winter's day
I had a dream. I dreamt a lyric and a chord that gave it life. and it was right. it was so right. if i had a wife. I'd sing it to her
Do you just know, when you touch the canvas you'd be pouring out your soul. and you behold! A gleaming end of a weary hopeless road
like a tale, just begging to be told.
I wanna go on a Quest around the World, a Quest around the world,
I wanna row on a hidden river road, on a path to call my own,
I've got questions in the depth, questions in the depth
and they're easy to forget…so easy to forget..
Like days we don't know we waste away.
I wanna go on a, i wanna go on a, quest around the world.. quest around the world
i wanna row on a, i wanna row on a , hidden river road, on a path to call my own
i've got questions in the depth, questions in the depth and they're easy to forget, so easy to forget.

If I Could Die
03:45

LIke poison in my eyes. I collide into a wall only I can see
here's me. completely broken down. I've become less and less alive
not likely to survive.
timid are my steps. I have kept. The movement in my bones. All expression in my voice. Weary me. I'm so thirsty. Weary me. I'm unhappy.
If i could die. if i could die. if i could die. if i could die. if i could die
could you bring me back to life. i could die. could you bring me back to life
if i could die. if i could die. could you bring me back to life. if i could die. could you bring me back to life. if i could die. if i could die.
could you bring me back to life?
