"Storm"
Choked in disarray, nothing left to say
Just can’t read you – such a throwaway
Woke this morning, and things have really changed
Sweaty sheets bunched up, thinking who’ve I crushed?
Had it with everyone - is it just too much?
(Gotta get away!)
Try to make it right when it goes down,
You’re just dying on the streets of the same town
You can run and hide, or try to find a way out
But it all seems to bring you down
(Gotta get away!)
Hanging on, hanging on – things don’t improve
(Gotta stop running, used to fight for something)
It’s time to change your point of view
With still a lot left yet to prove
All the things that we’ve been blind to
Whatcha gonna do – it’s your move
So seek yourself the truth
You know it’s all because of you
(Each year, the things I fear)
Are never gonna go away until I change myself
(Each year, the things I fear)
Never gonna go away – let’s take back me from me
(Let’s take back me from me!)
Just keep hanging on, hanging on, find your way
Cause how can you live when you’re dying every single day?
(Never mistake your soul for your heart, or be afraid to play the part)
You’re the one who’s in the dark
You’re a fucking mess – so when you run
Just don’t forget the sun sets to the west
(So pick yourself up, pick yourself up!)
(Always)
Running from something
(Always)
Running from nothing
Hanging on, hanging on – things don’t improve (don’t improve)
It’s time to change your point of view
With still a lot left yet to prove
I know that there’s a lot of
Things that we’ve been blind to
Whatcha gonna do – it’s your move
So seek yourself the truth
You know it’s all because of you
(Each year, the things I fear)
Are never gonna go away until I change myself
(Each year, the things I fear)
Never gonna go away – let’s take back me from me
(Let’s take back me from me!)

"Goners"
Trashed again
Just knocked out my girl’s new man
Just another means to an end
Hate myself, not bad enough to change a thing
(To change a thing)
My friends are goners
They’re broken, and flung to wayside
Lovers are goners, now too
Set me free from this apathy
Strike it slowly, and rip it out from me
Jealousy, controlling all this conformity,
And blind complacency
Sell your soul, or let the fears unfold
Face the self-control, with all your lies exposed
It’s cold this road is unknown
Like a thousand times before
Broke again, my stubborn habits never end
Still we go pretend we can afford to spend
Hate yourself, not strong enough to change a thing
Situations kill
But these memories hold on
Sell your soul
Face the self-control, with all your lies exposed
It’s cold this road is unknown

"Bleed"
Passed out, and I’m dreaming
Falling through the floor
(Funny, never see your face anymore)
Broken-hearted I’ve been stealing
Running for the door
(Never wanted something that I never asked for)
You called me up last night – said your lonely (lonely)
Go now with the breeze
Far enough to see
You’re tangled as you bleed
And it seems just fine to me
It was all that we needed, nothing wanted more
All the things we were feeling to give for
Found out when I was dreaming, that it wasn’t true
(That it wasn’t true)
Face down, and I’m screaming
Trying to ignore
That this might be something that we could work for
You know I wish I could come knocking at your door
Cause I never, ever see your fucking face anymore
Safe to say that it breaks my heart
Just to think of you alone in the dark
Can’t ignite the spark that’s going to light the way
Go now with the breeze
So close it up, close it up with me
Tangled as your bleed
It seems just fine to me
It seems just fine to me
Pressure is pushing, it’s going to crack
Ears bleeding out
Something is silent, it tells me that
There’s no going back
So close it up, close it up with me

"Lightning"
It’s easy just to stop and stare
When I think I need this oh so much
Somehow the heated blast of summer air
Reminds me of your coldest touch
So, don’t make mistakes
Don’t think like I do
Don’t waste your time
It’s all that I’ve been through
(Don’t make mistakes, don’t think like I do)
These endless summer nights are creeping
I feel it through the ocean mist
I spend these nights up never sleeping
The smell of salt, it still exists
Sometimes it’s hard to see the brighter things
When you’ve come to terms with all your dreams
If you could see this forest through the trees
This ship would sail the calmest seas
Shoes so worn out, I still go out
Let’s fake it for another round
Let’s brace ourselves - just one more blowout
How long until we finally drown?
Try not to be so cynical
And don’t go sounding critical
Once you learn you’re not invincible
You won’t feel so invisible
(Don’t make mistakes don’t think like I do)

"Sunny"
You say you’re coming to the east coast
And I’m the one you want the most
But even if I could fix you
I could hardly miss you
Cause your seasons are always changing
She wakes up, breaks down
Makes herself sick again
Every day is a gift when
It’s not the end
Her coffee, mix tapes help her to pretend
She doesn’t know
(That I just want to take her pain away)
Cause promises can change
And I guess I ran out of purpose
Or means to you
Never gonna know, never gonna let go
But you’re bringing it back down
(You’re bringing it back down)
Maybe when the days are sunny
You’ll notice what this means to me
Your distance is getting greater
Already so far away
I should have told myself
That you’d find another lover
You can leave it to your friends
Cause they’ll always blow your cover
Keep it all together but
They’re bound to fuck it up somehow
I’m not scared to ride a stunt bike, baby
Though I have my doubts
I got these jealous little issues
That we really gotta straighten out
Never gonna know, never gonna let go
But you’re bringing it back down
The other day I heard our favorite song
Turns out I had the words all wrong
And though it kept me breathing
It’s a fucked up meaning
That I made up in my head
(That I made up in my head)
Can’t deny that this means the world to me
But now I’m gonna have to carry on by myself
Your words could break my bones
But sticks and stones will
Sell it to me straight
(Sell it to me straight)
This is a testament to every time
I promised I’d take the lies
And believe anything you’d say

"Vices"
Take this bottle, pry it from my hands
Feel the tremor, don’t you understand?
Don’t waste it all, vices call
I guess we’ll never know
How much left we have to go
But I know we’re not alone
See it all just come and go
Everything you’ve ever known
Turns to blood, and blood, and dust to stone
Soon enough we all will know
So much I need, and not what’s in front of me
Running through the rain, and I’m scared
Cause I can’t see now - how these nightmares drown
Make all amends – they don’t owe you
Nothing to fake – nothing to show you how
How these memories drown
I guess we’ll never know
How much left we have to go
But I know we’re not alone
So ashamed, the place you’re in
No excuses, make amends
Promise is your only friend
Hold them up and start again
Waste it all, vices call (something so loud)
With the sound of silence breaking me
No more memories found
Busted up, and dying, so just give it up
I think that you’re the one but
I never do a thing about it
(Busted up, and dying, so just give it up)
I think that you’re the one but
I never give a fuck about it
(But I never do a thing about it)

"Moon"
Your voice is a song that
I can’t stop playing
Your heart is a rhythm that
I crave while chasing
Keep me safe and true
I got this closet full of dark, dark demons
Finally have a plan
It’s a shining beacon
All because of you
Now lately I’ve stretched myself thin
Can’t dedicate to anything
Let’s change this attitude
At times I rest easy
Cause we’ll be together soon
Other times it kills me
Cause I know you’re hurting too
And some days I question
Just where to turn to
But don’t you worry darling
We’re under the same moon
Deny it to myself that I didn’t need this
Try to shut it out when I’m feeling weakest
Just to make it through
It’s like the ocean, deep and never ending
Only getting older, let’s stop pretending
Time to pay our dues
At times I rest easy
Cause we’ll be together soon
Other times it kills me
Cause I know you’re hurting too
I know that we swore things
That never came true
But don’t you worry darling
We’re under the same moon
Cause I can’t fight this feeling
By staying awake and dreaming
At times I rest easy
Cause we’ll be together soon
Other times it kills me
Cause I know you’re hurting too
Look into my eyes
It’ll feel like Deja-vu
So don’t you worry darling
We’re under the same moon
