- Anchor
Weigh me down.
You are my anchor;
I've been caught in the clouds.
This may be crazy, but I saw you there.
I think I see a piece of me in you,
'cause we know we're much too young to ever lose.
From the sickness we both felt
- Catholic Girls
Even with the walls around me,
I'll always miss the place where
I grew up.
It made us tough.
Simple love and wealthy families;
suicides of kids that died too young.
It broke us up.
- Color
There's a hole somewhere where my old self lives
And it burns like fire so that I might live again
I might start to give in
I honestly believe in us
I can't believe we held out this long
Where's the color?
I see it bleeding down the walls
I wish they knew what we'd been through
- Disconnect
I can't start wishing that I went for something more
but I can dream between my losing faith and now
I've got plans
of stay proud
with every single scream
I'll find my place in every city.
No, never lose my voice
- Here We Are After Dark
I can't stop thinking about the words
that you once said, like I better stop my breathing before I stop believing.
I've been tearing out my throat with dangerous words.
Selling hooks with all this screaming,
you'd think I'd start to get it, but I don't...
They're God damn right. You've still got your voice, so don't just let this die.
This is for you, this is for me this is for everything that ever made me see,
- I'm So Pathetic
You long for rest
and count the awful days.
You speak like
nothings ever challenged you before.
Away with words,
you start to disagree.
You look like
something must've had at you before,
- Miles Apart
I saw the love in tears from your father's eyes
when everything was new.
Stopped the world when I saw you dancing.
Never been so beautiful.
I will take you home with me,
just say you won't let go of me at all.
Lost the words, I'm finally happy.
I'm finally new.
- Parachute
Take the reigns again. It was a pleasure to finally fall asleep without a stir out there with tons of burns. I get a lost sensation sent through my brain and hands. I know I better escape that part of me before I learn I can't stand the counter turn. It's still a nerve I can't figure out.
I will wake up fine in a place I love by myself. Yeah, it took some time, but at least I'm clear out of hell. I feel it coming on.
I parachute alone. I'm a life that's not worth saving. It's apparent I won't slow down yet. I take control of that feeling you don't care to believe in. I'm blind, but I'm still leading. I'm finding modern healing is sold in the dark for some of us.
A strong sleep to sedatives; I fear I firmly hide from it all now to quell the burn. I won't take the sound I heard. I'm going to find my own way to drown.
- Reach For The Sun
I wrote a song about war,
the kind that lives in your head.
I found a place I can sit,
a place where everyday light hits.
Like the palm of your hand when you're reaching for something
that's balled up in the sky.
That's the way that I like to see myself;
reaching for just one star at a time.
- Settle Down
I gave my things away. I called the people that I only see on holidays, this next year's going to burn a hole in me. I spent my weekdays in my car and the weekends drinking hard enough for two. I think I'll settle down one of these days, till I catch my breath. I feel the weight of the world on my back but I'm not feeling sick to death. Because I laid awake in bed and thought of better times. I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy in laying down and never waking up. I learned a lot today cus' there's a reason why I'll never live the easy way, I'm trying to be real. I wrote down words inside my arm that say "I'll never walk alone" 'cause I get tired. I know I'll have my friends in every way, so I caught my breath, and for the first time I found what I'm looking for. Yeah, I went down. Yeah, I found a way. In the city where my father was born I had a dream I moved out west. I finally found out what I wanted to be so I picked up where I left; and I waited two more years and covered up my ears. I think I'm ready to sing this time. I really think I'm gone.
- Surfaced
I set my words on the ground and I was grinding my teeth. I planted
Pieces of light to see if planets could speak. It took my mind by surprise
When I was finally free, through all my darkest days. I felt my heartbeat
Again, and dropped to my knees. There was a sun in my eyes that made
A star out of me. It's like my life was a list and my head was first
To get crossed off. It's the pleasure that I keep to sit down with my
Friends and talk about my day. Can you hear me? Well I don't even care.
I'll stop my screaming if you look the other way. It's been a bad year
- The Permanent Rain
So why the sudden change
And what's this all about?
I know they speak your name,
But where's the sound right now?
I can't stop praying you'll hear me play.
I know that I'll be with you there someday.
So where the hell's my hope,
- The Permanent Rain V3
So why the sudden change
And what's this all about?
I know they speak your name,
But where's the sound right now?
I can't stop praying you'll hear me play.
I know that I'll be with you there someday.
So where the hell's my hope,
- Weathered
I felt unable; I was lying on my side
in the same clothes from the very last night.
I want to pray that I am doing everything right.
I saw my mom die for the very first time.
She was an angel - God took her from the sky,
and there's a million other people
that I found who cared more than I ever will.
I held that note out, I grabbed my bag and I left through the door.
- Where I Want To Be
In the back of my mind,
Well I fought my god
'cause all of the hell that's in my time.
But I can still see the birds
And where they went this year.
Our winter made things hazy
And I know that I was losing site of my hometown,
And in my blacking out
- Work In Progres
Tell them all that I'm a work in progress
Pour it out and I will stay out of the way
Fill it up, for what it's worth I'm harmless
Cut me down and I will live with what I take
I'm not saving you for myself
I want to see you and I want to say
"You're what's keeping me warm.
