Born A Shadow

You wake me up
I know it's late
But please don't ask why
I sleep so much these days
I've grown sick of explaining to you
The how's and the whys
It doesn't matter
My empty cup gets filled with days
The truth is I feel less alive this way
I've spent my whole life looking for light in here
But it seems I was born and bred a shadow
I'll be near you
When there's sunshine
Right beneath you
Never look down
Wait til night falls
Now you're more or less like me
What you need isn't what I turned out to be
You grew me up
Set me straight
Still I miss the mark most days
I spent a few years stuck in a bad routine
But I always had the best of intentions
I'll be near you when there's sunlight
Right beneath yo
Never look down
Wait til night falls
Now you're more or less like me
What you need isn't what I turned out to be
Stuck on
What you need isn't what I turned out to be
It keeps you up at night
I don't know why
The dreams don't play as bright
I don't know why
The season in your mind
I don't know why
Gets colder all the time
I'll be near you when there's no sunshine
Right beneath you, you never look down
Wait til night falls
Now you see me
Right beneath you, you never look down

Think A New Thing
02:47
|

I wanna think a new thing up
But Who has time for shit like that
When all you do is scream and shout
Yeah you got me laid up on my back
Maybe I'll find some more good luck
But I wouldn't hold your breath now honey
I know you always liked the kind of high
Where everything I say sounds funny
When you place your feelings on my back
Friends say my smile looks ugly
You expect me to linger on your page
Like I'm your little ink drawn bunny
But I'm alive now
Am I alive now?
I think in alive now
Yeah I'm alive now
It took awhile but I slipped up
300 days give or take
I ain't a safe bet for much
Except maybe making big mistakes
I'm always making big mistakes
Slipping up and making old mistakes
You're my best friend
Got a good heart
Could you love me til the end

Never Faking
05:46
|
|||
Is it a little soon to say
Whether these feelings are overrated
I got a rock inside my chest
That holds all my frustration
So take a look around this place
Make sure you know just what you're leaving
Not a single smile today
We're all liars Kicking and screaming
And that's the way it goes
But the Back door here is never closed
Hold me up to light
and you'll see much better
The flaws I try to hide
Take note and measure
Where once there was a soul
A scarlet letter will unfold
Shame or grace I just don't know
Why it makes you happy
To watch me run away?
Does it make you happy
to watch me run away?
We need to shock the nerves today
Jumpstart this separation
If there's a love inside your heart
It looks like it has faded
But that's the way it goes
Cause the Back door here is always closed
Hold me up to light and you'll see much better
The flaws I try to hide
Take note and measure
Where once there was a soul
A scarlet letter will unfold
Shame or grace I just don't know
Why it makes you happy
To watch me run away
Does it make you happy
to watch me run away
Does it make you happy
to watch me run away
You tore your eyes out right in front of me
(You seize the every chance to keep me coming back again)
Removed those feelings one by one
And now you can see
(You seize the every chance to keep me coming back again)
Never fakin', this ain't love it's greed
(You seize the every chance to keep me coming back again) Sacrifice your life, end misery
(You seize the every chance to keep me coming back again) Speak to me more plainly, Let's get real (You seize the every chance to keep me coming back again). This tragedy lacks humor, but that's the appeal. (You seize the every chance to keep me coming back again). Never fakin', this ain't love it's greed.
(You seize the every chance to keep me coming back again)

Heaven
02:53
|

Where do we go when this is all over
Just a sack of bones, no rattling
Why'd you go so high
never found a way to feel alive
did you get it wrong
can you send a message
It seems these days I only remember
all the precious things we'd talk about
staying out past four the world was doomed but we were sure that we felt alive, though we knew we were dying
stuck in a lie
there's no use in denying
That all you wanted was something to believe in
to lighten up your grief
you've fed on your tears too long
in the night your song is with me
your ghost is just as pretty
visits from time to time
yeah you got it wrong
you don't get second chances
no you cut the line
you don't get to regret this
you're sick of feeling sad now
you don't want to go to heaven
you want to come back now
I'm sick of feeling sad now
and i don't want to go to heaven
i wanna come back now
I'm sick of feeling sad now
and I don't want to go to heaven no more
I want to come back now
I'm sick of feeling sad and I don't want to go to heaven
No i want to come back now
I'm just sick of feeling sad now
and I don't want to go to Heaven

Spirits, they don't believe in
interfering with the fear that saddens you

Apocalyptic
04:40
|
|||
I've got me a box
With a desk and a bed
A job that I hate/a long list of sorrys
And a shittier head/and a feeling of dread
But it's not all bad
No it's not even unfair
Don't listen if you're just pretending to care
When I get
Cause I get
I'm dirty with sad
And the feeling won't wash away
You watched me clean up
And You watched me fade
If I don't go blind
Well I'll surely go deaf
I'd trade the fading light
for this ring in my head
Then I'll get apocalyptic
Apocalyptic, apocalyptic, apocalyptic
I'm making new friends just about everyday
I forget most their names but they're friends all the same
When life gets bad, can I call out your name?you're only ever $20 away
Can we get apocalyptic? Apocalyptic, apocalyptic, apocalyptic
Apocalyptic, apocalyptic, apocalyptic
The ghost was in your eyes
It made a scene I can't erase
The feeling of that night
I try to leave but can't escape
The ghost that's in my eyes
It made a scene you can't erase
The feeling of that night
You try to leave but can't escape

Down
03:04

Life declines you
Ignores your want or need to go on
Your mind
Once fine tuned
Now Forgets to fear
Its final dawn
Because your body's slowing down
And my heart is sinking down
But still our love ain't broken down
Sleep with the lights on
And tell me bout those bad dreams too
If death is really final
Then why I still talk to you
Because my body's slowing down
And your heart is sinking down
But still our love ain't broken down
Our love ain't broken down
Our bodies start to slow down
And our hearts have sunken down
Our love is deep underground, down down down
Here's to breaking down

Reason
04:20

The dogs at your door
Hear your blood rush
Through your feet on the floor
They've come to take you with them
And man that's a drag
If you're scared don't retreat
If you're haunted don't admit defeat
She made her way into you, it's true
Every time I say that I'm sorry
I'm a real good liar, yeah you know it's true
Every time I say that I'm sorry
I'm a real good liar, yeah you know it's true
I've been living as dust for a real long time
Found some love
But this love ain't right
If I can fake it for just one more night
She'll have a reason to live
It's the way the sun hits the trees
In your pictures, a strange conceit
No mystery is in you
And your words can't convey
Finer feelings
They just overstate
They're clumsy when they're near you
Clumsy when they're near you
And every time I say that I'm sorry
I'm a real good liar, yeah you know it's true
Every time I say that I'm sorry. I'm a real good liar, yeah you know it's true
I've been living as dust for a real long time
Found some love
But this love it just ain't right
If I can fake it maybe just one more night
Well, She'll have a reason to live
I've been in this dust for a real long time
Got a lover but this love man it just don't feel right
If I could only fake it for one more night
She'll have a reason to live
Reason to live.

Don't Look Back
03:32
|
|||
The ghost lives in the back of your mind
Paying visits from time to time
It brought bad weather
Turned day into night
It says you're wrong
but you swear you're right
You close both your eyes
And cry "Why won't it go away?"
Trapped in this feeling once again
You can't take another on the chin
So you don't look back
You won't look back
You can't look back there
Stop leading my spirt astray
I'm breaking down every other day
Slipping away
With each passing hour
Please don't do what you say you will
I'm trapped in this feeling once again
I can't take another on the chin
I'm stuck inside the deep within
So I don't look back
I won't look back
I can't look back there
No, no, no, no
I was searching for a good time
But I felt just like a fault line
Sick of being called a bad guy
Then you helped me to realize
That I can't help but deceive you
You really need to get away now
Cause I've been bartering in bad times
For my whole life and then some
Just let me sink into the background
In disappearing I'm at home
I'm feelin less and less alone now
You helped me to realize
Just let me sink into the background
In disappearing I'm at home
I'm feelin less and less alone now
You helped me to realize

Old Sad Me
03:32
|
|||
I'm always acting crazy I have a way with the obscene
Would you like to come over and get vulgar with me
We can take some time to find out what that means your sins don't lie to old sad me, Old sad me
Every day I'm looking older slouched shoulders crooked teeth
And if you think you can do better
Why'd you settle for a mess like me
It won't take too long to find another queen
For old sad me, old sad me
I don't want to change
She don't want to change
We don't want to change
We don't need to change
She's looking uptight but she keeps on smiling
Too many rough nights there's no denying
She likes to feel her pain inside me
She seems to see things I don't see
She's just a love blind easy rider
She likes to come when I'm inside her
She likes to tear the leaves right off our tree
She wants to see the things that most don't see
She's just a love blind easy rider
She likes to come when I'm inside her
She's just a love blind easy rider
