Maybe I just came here to hurt you Maybe you just came here to bleed I found my faith in conversations Between the devil and me How does it feel to be awake? Where do you find the courage to stand up straight? There’s a version of me I wouldn’t let you see And he’s taking over more and more everyday How does it feel to never lose? The devil’s cruel when he shows you the truth Holding that mirror close, feeling those eyes on you Write the end before it’s chosen for you Make it perfect Do you even remember When we were objects of memories I saw that look upon your shoulders Was it triumph or defeat If you knew what I am now Would you even wanna meet me I saw it in your eyes from deep inside All of my insides I fell in love again In my dreams last night

Aberration 03:01
Woke up slowly forever dreaming Two toned highways left I’m driving off that cliff Still dying for completion Pleading for all the reasons I’m tryin man Figure out what’s left Under the dust and our layers In any situation Do I know you anymore like I used to Tattooed my resignations For ending up on the deep end Pressed on no irons left These resurrections of our gods And no one’s seen them yet Sour tongues on bar tops So familiar to everyone here Yet no one really cares Friends are true to open ears Breaking that silence is worse than death itself But wait for the next handout I’m disappointed man So disappointed Wait for that happy ending The one you dream about The one you dream about Did it ever come true? Did you take those pictures?

Mary 04:01
So done dying the old way The way you described it sold me Swallowed the pride, bumped the glory So done faking and failure The way you called him your savior I choked it down then quickly covered my mouth You make it seem like nothing The internal pushing and shoving But when the cops came to cuff him You screamed out your overwrought lungs I guess at the time it was simpler They’d never approve of a quitter You left the kids with the sitter And handwrote to everyone you loved Was it ever enough? You know your choices are still your own Don’t wanna come over, don’t wanna be home You know I hate to see you go When all the chances came and went To fill those shoes that would never fit The blood we spilled is all that’s left But no, we’re not dying yet

Purple Heys 02:19
Playing dead But the dogs won’t find me Under the city while it sleeps Preserving all of these antagonistic dreams Fueling all of my insecurities Everyone’s wasted Everyone’s talkin Everyone’s tryin To figure it out City screams Steel pain blazing on the scenes The sun goes down on you and me Look at all the faceless people gaining nothing but defeat Ian says have another drink with me City please Stretch your arms out to me Breathing in the yesterdays Of singing In the streets I need an architectures dream Blueprint lullabies of nothing

Casa Nada 03:43
The curtains closed My final act has ended We took our bows Our last farewell salutes Hands were shaking running fingers thru your hair Them bright stage lights were dancing all around you I feel it now I'm a bad guy in a suit Disgusting mouth Spewing favors for your naive ears Hands in pockets walking hard now Lips seal the letters of your last vows Pressed up against the wind Never wanna feel like that again I love the way you love to hate me These tears are gone Man I’ve been devastated Been vomiting up all this blood This prescription excuse Staving from the neighborhoods I used to love Forgetting all the names I used to call I’m so damn weak Boy hand me down my walking shoes Slumpin brows I’m still that stranger that you’ve known for years
6.
Blood Oath 03:31
Borrowed time is all that’s left to spend Burning holes in my pockets Did you really think they'd let you say no? Gray and green, soft morning Stayed slept in, stayed unseen A decade, a weekend Forgot what we were chasing Eyes glaze over just the same Oh what a perfect day I wish I’d have known It still seems like a fucking joke Take it all or take it slow Double down or just let go Forgive me if I don’t hold my breath Some things are better off left dead Couldn’t imagine it now or ever before
7.
Unfamiliar 02:16
I let all those familiar sounds Explode into something so much worse than just a falling out I can’t stand this empty house Balancing on every floorboard Hoping they just give out Washed up and soaken through I don’t wanna be something you don’t like to admit to Outside of my mind, shut in all the time Trying to revive whatever’s left of some former you I watched every layer of my skin Get stripped away til there was nothing left of value Except my own vulnerability And that false sense of security When the slightest breeze could crumble this entire Kingdom around me Maybe It was never my head On your shoulder but it felt real to me It’s draining But it’s just distance Did you come home or am I still asleep?

Abel 04:29
The pressure was always worse than the pain It’s an unfocused rage It’s a phantom unrelenting ache The pressure, the cumulative weight If the quick fix doesn’t take We can just burn it all away If you’re not concerned Then I’ll try to be brave If it’s really no big deal I’ll try to convince myself the same

Slugger 03:01
I forgot what a small town was I forgot what a small town was again Dirt rocks Smoked haze Tequila Cocaine Ain't about time you had some shame Ain't about time you had some shame (It’s a) Class war Of okays Good mornings Lunch breaks How’s your family how’s your wife? How’s your children how’s your life? Headin on the off ramp going 35 to life Thinking bout somebody else’s good times I woke up in New York City No one here will know my name I woke up in New York City No one here will know my shame
