Birds of a feather
Flock together
That's what I've heard
I'll be your bird

religion is empty
so where should we run?
Into the bathroom
to spill your blood
The mess I said I'd deal with later
won't clean itself up
this time
it's not a made-up bedtime story
it's real as the make up on your arm
like the time you tried to tell me
you weren't crying on the phone
you said you wont accept any of
my honest help
this time
o I told you about Jesus
in a way I never thought I would
I was crying in your arms
it was real--it felt so good
now I'm begging God for your soul
I'm praying for a miracle
this time
if it's works to get to heaven
then we're all going to hell
there’s a better answer
and it's free--not for sale
the bloods already been spilled on the cross
so you don't have to
this time

I want to be the tear that//runs down your cheek because you//heard something beautiful//well beautiful I wrote this for you//I want to be the laughter//the kind that's hard to find//it makes your stomach hurt but//it makes you long for more and//I want to be the memory//the lasting smell of comfort//the view that you long for//the places that you've been and//I want to be that someone//the one that holds you close that//you could sit and talk with//stay up all night with//I took the time for you and//slowly fell into the//trap you set for me//unintentionally//thoughts of moving out of state out of mind//I'm out of breath//Just to be with you//I want to be with you//I want to be your sunshine//your one and only sunshine//That keeps you happy when//Your skies are gray//you'll never know dear//how much I love you//I could never show you//But I could tell you//I took the time for you and//slowly fell into the//Trap you set for me//unintentionally//Thoughts of moving out of state//out of mind//I'm out of breath//Just to be with you//I want to be with you

Today I felt like such a waste of
Mainly tape, space, and time
You never can erase the days like today
It's the kind of pencil that writes both ways
Today I waited for you here
And when you came I sat next to you
I'd always thought I wrote my days in ink
But you tend to make me think
I find it's less crowded on the outside
So lets run it's all downhill from here
You're still looking on the inside
I find that the best of people tend to eat alone
You never want to sleep on the floor
But sometimes it's the most comfortable place
Especially when your beds infested
with the books that you've read
And your only friends become the words
that you've read or that you've heard
and your minds running backwards now
again
I find it's less crowded on the outside
So lets run it's all downhill from here
You're still looking on the inside
I find that the best of people tend to eat alone

I wish I could just run away, I'd run all the way back to June.
I'd run through the, freezing, dark November, I'd run all the way back to you.
I'd put out my fears like cigarettes, and I'd throw them on the ground.
I'd stomp them out, I'd walk on through never turning around.
I've been beating the world record for speeding
and you've just been beating me down.
My hearts been beating the world record for speeding
It's about to beat out of my chest.
The Fall is here without any warning, the trees are crying red and yellow tears.
It's time to check and see what harvest brings, I hope it yields good fruit this year.
It's the season for colds and over coats, who just turned off the heat?
I've watched that hand go around 11 times, I'm getting colder as we speak.
I've been beating the world record for speeding
Where has the time gone off to now?
My hearts been beating the world record for speeding
It's about to beat out of my chest.
Oh my God, where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.
This how-to stuff you won't find in any history book, I've been caught up in the blue.
Oh my God, it happened all so fast when I slammed on those breaks
I got in a wreck, an accident, they call it an accident.
I've been beating the world record for speeding
I guess it's time that I slowed down
My hearts been beating the world record for speeding
It's about to beat out of my chest.
Yea, he died. He died last month. What do you tell his little boy?
He got in a wreck that took his life, I guess it wasn't his choice.
And I don't know how, I don't know when, but that day's gonna come.
Just look to the stars and you'll be there, I can't wait to come on home.
I've been beating the world record for speeding
I Feel like I'm really no one now
My hearts been beating the world record for speeding
It's about to beat out of my chest.

30,000 Ft.

oh, oh, oh have I lost my soul?
a monkey in a space ship, so controlled
yeah, I was living life so miserable
without a purpose without a goal
a lie, a lie, I lied
I've stood, stood, stood, on that interstate
I've waited for death and I've waited at the gates
of some highway marker, heaven or hell
it was hard to see, I couldn't really tell
I saw those lights, flash by, and I cried
I fell form the sky 30,000 feet
I splashed into, into the deep sea
I was swimming with the fish in my self pity
I finally made it to the "bottom of everything"
now Oh, oh, oh I feel so natural
I left that rocket on the moon and jumped into a black hole
I've finally fallen through to the other side
I've finally had time open up my eyes
and see, and see, I can see
that's when I woke up, I was soaking wet
but my heart stopped beating on the doors of regret
someone's the reason why someone else is
that's what I've heard, well your the reason for this
your the reason, why, I still live
you watched as I fell 30,000 feet
you watched as I splashed deep into the sea
that's when you became someone to me
when I was at the bottom of everything
so please, please, please won't you stay with me?
sit a little bit longer, chase our dreams
like the magic bullet in the grassy knolle
a man with a purpose, a man with a goal
and he did, what he, wanted
no, no, no you don't judge me
it's not your style, your no magazine
whenever I see you I'm filled with joy
I can act myself like a little boy
I don't care, when I'm, around you
you watched as I fell 30,000 feet
you helped me up off of my knees
now I feel your love like the summer heat
peace and love like the 1960's

Dear President, Dear Fellowman
I see through your history book of lies
Pseudoamerican, totalitarian Taliban
I see through your vices, your degrees, your "ethnic cleansing".
Oppressors, liars, Pretenders, method actors
Why can't I get hard answers
to your conspiracy? Our reality
I know about your secret society.
You say lets revolt because reform don't work,
I've got the guts to jump up and go first.
While bullets pierce the bravest lungs
I won't sit back and hold my tongue.
While you try to usurp the throne
I won't sit back and hold my own.
I stand before you Masters of War,
you senators and contractors
There's one thing I know though I'm younger than you:
Even Jesus would never Forgive what you do
We can''t let them reinstate the draft
and split the country straight in half,
arrest everyone who sends their draft cards back.
You know I'll be returning mine in no time flat.
You say lets revolt because reform don't work,
I've got the guts to jump up and go first.
While bullets pierce the bravest lungs
I won't sit back and hold my tongue.
While you try to usurp the throne
I won't sit back and hold my own.

Emotion Out Loud
03:46

I won't ever show
Emotion out loud when it comes to letting go
When the city burns down at the end
I won't go running out of it
If music is
The food of love then please play on
And when it hurts like this please play it strong
Take all of your
insecurities and place them in little brown handbags
And when this bridge breaks down I think we'll go our own ways
And why didn't this solve
What if it was you I needed after all?
But I think that we have finally moved on
To better, greater, things than this
If music is
The food of love then please play on
And when it hurts like this please play it strong
Take all of your
insecurities and place them in little brown handbags
And when this bridge breaks down I think we'll go our own ways

Never Let Go
03:39

The light hangs from the ceiling
Re-verb could drive you insane
bouncing back and forth between
the walls I swear they speak
But even walls can't understand
cause me, I outwardly think
but who would want to think right now
in a place like this?
where the lights are dimly lit
and the walls worn down with age
But even in a sanctuary I can't find peace
But even in a sanctuary I can't find peace
Turning pages, shuffling feet
Awkward breaths, and glass
they all have something in common right now
social suicide in the past
you accepted me then
you accepted me then
turning in my seat right now I'm almost sick of you
i guess if you love someone you shouldn't ever let them go
I won't ever let you go

Nobody Cares (But Me)
04:08

Sometimes life can get worse than it seems
Worse than it seems
You wake up feeling like shit and it's all just a dream
Yeah, it's all just a dream
Sometimes you can try your hardest you can cry our hardest
But it won't get you anywhere
Nobody cares, nobody cares
(But me)
Sometimes you can get so despondent
you say your nonexistent
Little bird tell me whats wrong and we'll fly away
Yeah, lets fly away
Sometimes I can get so anxious
I can get so nervous
So I smoke a carton and take some medicine
to calm my heart, my heavy heart
Nobody cares, nobody cares
(But me)

Are You Asleep?
02:06

|

I've been thinking about the future way too much
my heads a projector of all these slides, the show never stops
it's just like pulling numbers at a DMV
it's a line that won't ever move on
So I went to the doctor to find a cure
he didn't give an answer he just looked disturbed
he said, "you've been dying for weeks from this
but sometimes ignorance can be bliss."
I started painting in a notebook, words that no one'll see
I hid in a forest; an ocean of trees
I fell asleep in the garden now I'm covered in leaves
I just want to lay here under the sheets
Are you asleep,
laying in bed, are you slowly dying,
or are you into deep,
to get out of the gutter, to start breathing?
So I'm trying to stay busy, hide in written words
I'm trying to make plans but they never seem to work
rise to the occasion, yeah I'm trying to be brave
crawl into the sunlight, crawl out of my cave
Are you asleep,
laying in bed, are you slowly dying,
or are you into deep,
to get out of the gutter, to start breathing?

I believe that your passions and joys are the very most important things in life; apart from shared experience, of course. If you’re set on something, and that something is just as much a part of you as your very own soul, I can reassure you that: that something will slowly start to come into existence in your life and, if you peruse it, it will become a reality. ... more
