Atlas 03:32
lyrics
buy track
I hear a sigh every time I drift away My thoughts collide and the words slide off the page I get lost in space, am I trying to break free? I know it's not easy putting up with- I interrupt, never mind, I've forgotten anyway I count in my guilt when she asks if I'm ok So I shoulder this weight, like Atlas on his own Until it bleeds out and stains the floors of our home Now there's not much I enjoy Since the numbness filled the void So I just get high and try to fall asleep It's been getting to me My friend has these pills, I know she's just trying to help Oh but I'm afraid they'll make me less of myself Is there a masochist somewhere inside of me That's demanding I stay awake to feed the bees There's a buzzing in my head That won't stop until I'm dead It stings the ones who get too close to me In this broken peace of mind I read between the lines Of what is me and what is my disease It's been getting to me Well I've lost myself It's been getting to me I can't ask for help No, I'm not Atlas There's a ringing in my ears That's been haunting me for years There's a devil that conducts this symphony In this broken peace of mind I read between the lines Of what is me and what is my disease It's been getting to me Well I've lost myself It's been getting to me And I can't ask for help So I remind myself that I'm not Atlas I remind myself that I'm not Atlas No, I'm not Atlas Well I'm not Atlas I'm not.

The Inn 03:40
lyrics

My oh my, you're a sight for my sore eyes Lead your footprints from the dark Come sit by the porch light You were in a dark place We've all given to desire We're the blind leading the blind And you're preaching to the choir And I say oh, tell me where to go Where can I lay my bones? Where can I lay my bones? Oh, I've been shackled to the road Where can I lay my bones? Where can I lay my bones? My oh my Well my oh my, I see you're another aching soul Throwing your ashes to the wind Losing all control This flickering light The signal of the inn You can stay the night But you can't sleep off your sins And I say oh, tell me where to go Where can I lay my bones? Where can I lay my bones? Oh, I've been shackled to the road Where can I lay my bones? Where can I lay my bones? My oh my It gets so cold at night Do your weary eyes compel her? You're drawn to the porch light Begging “please, I just need shelter” But I'm not welcome I'm never welcome Oh, I've been all alone I've been searching for a home Some place to call my own, all my own Oh, but they chained me to this road Where can I lay my bones? Where can I lay my- And I said oh, tell me where to go Where can I lay my bones? Where can I lay my bones? Oh, I've been shackled to the road Where can I lay my bones? Where can I lay my bones? My oh my

Let Me Fall 03:49
lyrics

You said I'll keep you secrets, it's time to step outside Put your brand new heels on We'll take them, take them for a ride You slip me something for my nerves You said “Baby, you're doing fine” This dress, it fits me so small We waited outside in a line Don't you dare Let me fall Well what if someone sees us like this? I fucking hope they do You take my hand A flame ignites You fill my eyes with light There's a place that we know And it has a neon glow We came here to dance and we're staying all night Let's have another round Before we're in the ground We came here to dance and we're staying all night I get lost in a moment with you, and I don't- I don't want to leave I don't care about your last call, we're staying until our sweat turns into steam Don't you dare Let me fall There's a place that we know And it has a neon glow We came here to dance and we're staying all night Let's have another round Before we're in the ground We came here to dance and we're staying all night Baby are you in or out Don't you want to shout We came here to dance and we're staying all night Yeah we're staying all night Don't let, don't let me fall Under the bright mirror ball Don't let me fall

Two Night Stand 04:05

Welcome in, now tell me what you see Am I everything that you want me to be You said it's time that you let down your hair So when the ecstasy sweats out of me, don't you say it's not fair Do I have you right under my thumb Will I be playing in your head long after you've cum? You whisper that you came here all alone You bite your lip, I take a hit, and we set the tone Can I take you home after the show Can I take you home after the show Are you still laughing, playing all their strings? Or have you grown numb, trying to feel anything? Well you thought this kind of life would set you free But now the party's over you can't sustain a fantasy Can I take you home after the show Can I take you home after the show Just for tonight We could share a reverie We'll leave everyone breathing so heavily I'll carve my name right into your memory Yeah, uh huh Can I take you home after the show Can I take you home after the show Do I have you right under my thumb Will I be playing in your head long after you've cum? You whisper that you came here all alone You bite you lip, I take a hit, and we set the tone So can I take, take, take t-take you home? Can I take, take, take t-take you home? Can I take you home?

Put Me Under 04:24
lyrics

Tell me a lie that will makes things alright Whatever it takes to fall asleep tonight It's pulling me in, I struggle to breathe It's pulling me in, I'm down on my knees You throw me a rope, I tie a noose Give me some slack, and cut me loose Turn it up until I come down Drag me to the deep and let me drown If you hear thunder, up my dose and put me under Oh Well who is she to you, a mother, a lover, a thief? It puts chills on your skin and crawls underneath Well just push it in, I'm drifting away Just put it in, there's no other way Turn it up until I come down Drag me to the deep and let me drown If you hear thunder, up my dose and put me under Oh There's a fork in the road, there's some dirt in my veins Corey OD'd, now I spin at his grave Stop looking at me like it's something obscene You're all venomous, it's only morphine Turn it up until I come down Drag me to the deep and let me drown If you hear thunder, up my dose and put me under Oh Turn it up until I come down Drag me to the deep and let me drown If you hear thunder, up my dose and put me under Oh

Dark Waves 04:02
lyrics

Moonlight paints the sand In the place we used to meet The grains fall through my hands Like a lover out of reach I've been running out of time Using all my breath There's still mountains left to climb I've given it my best No no no Ebb and flow Blow by blow Ebb and flow Here I go When we would drive out to the ocean Back when things were okay I'd never dream these dark waves Would carry me away Carry me away I've got chaos of the mind and it's been chasing off my friends I sit purgatory's tides I'm just waiting for the end No no no Ebb and flow Blow by blow Ebb and flow Here I go When we would swim out in the ocean Back when things were okay I'd never dream these dark waves Would carry me away Carry me away But I am just under the surface And I'm breaking beneath this weight Now in all my dreams the dark waves Carry me away Will carry me away Carry me away Moonlight paints the sand In the place we used to meet

Lighthouse (Lost at Sea) 03:04
lyrics
buy track
I'm sick, yes I'm sick But I'm searching for the shore You were my beacon for so many years But I don't think I feel you anymore I'm gone, so long gone Keep my compass- I'm headed west Am I free? Or lost at sea? And should I keep an eye out for you S.O.S.? I've never been so scared To see the coastline quiet To see a life be spared Like a ship in the darkness holds tight I never thought I'd see The fires in your lighthouse go out tonight It's black, it's all black The stars have called it quits No reflections, well who am I? Who am I in this darkness where I sit? I've never been so scared To see the coastline quiet To see a life be spared Like a ship in the darkness holds tight I never thought I'd see The fires in your lighthouse go out tonight No, I never thought I'd see The fires in your lighthouse go out tonight

Rumours 03:52
lyrics

I don't know what you've heard There's a rumour that's been sold to a little bird I tried to do right, to move on and not to brood I just don't know what's been going on with you Have the rumours all been true? You let it go, let it go and it follows you down The rumour spreads You let it go, let it go and it comes back around The rumour spreads There goes the ghost I let slip from its cage He's haunted by words I once put to a page When they spat upon my name, you just went along Now it makes me laugh, this epitaph to someone who's done me wrong You let it go, let it go and it follows you down The rumour spreads You let it go, let it go and it comes back around The rumour spreads So can you tell me what you've learned Now that there's nowhere left to turn How long did you evade their sights Before you lost the strength to fight this fight I don't know what you've heard There's a rumour that's been sold to a little bird It's much too late to take back the things you said Is it a hell of a view when you're standing on a ledge You let it go, let it go and it follows you down The rumour spreads You let it go, let it go and it comes back around The rumour spreads

Somewhere You Know 04:25
lyrics

In the stillness of the morning, I go for a drive Just to capture the longing for you by my side On a hot summer night There's something so different from when we were young I don't recognize myself, what have I become that I don't recognize myself? What have I become? We'd sneak out our windows I met you in the dark We kept the lights off As we shifted out of park Now I drive alone But I'll take you somewhere you know Yeah, I'll take you somewhere you know In the stillness of the morning, I hear a crash Echoes from a life we lived, we used to drive so fast In the passenger seat, just messing around You had my flannel on, I had the top rolled down On a freeway threatened by the morning light We drove a thousand miles on a starless night When there was nowhere left to go I said I'd take you somewhere you know Yeah, I'll take you somewhere you know I remember you catching fireflies when we drove out to the cliffs We smoked a spirit now that's how I reminisce It's been a long time Yeah, it's been a long time If I could pick you up In the middle of the night Would you still come with me After all this time? If you were here to hold Maybe I wouldn't feel so old And I'd take you somewhere you know Yeah, I'd take you somewhere we know Somewhere that you know I'll take you somewhere we know (Top down those hot summer nights) I said I'll take you somewhere you know (Top down those hot summer nights) I go for a drive In the middle of the night I go for a drive On a hot summer night

Graffiti Hearts 04:13

Once upon a time I guess we fell in love We were just playing our parts We were rebels under the bridge Leaving graffiti hearts But they grew wings and flew away and our bodies had to stay and it always happens this way It's such a fucking shame I guess we tried, well, maybe, I don't know It's not so hard to lose yourself To forget who you're supposed to be Trying to please someone else But that please soon goes away You know you always were so smart Don't forget you wrote your name Across my graffiti heart Standing on this bridge we're burning down Standing on this bridge we're burning down Choking on the smoke, our love is burning all around Standing on this bridge we're burning down We're burning down Now and then I think maybe I was wrong We both wanted to get out But it was me with the gasoline And you had to open up your mouth And your words, they feed the flame How did all of this shit start? What happened to those kids Engulfed in their graffiti hearts Once upon a time I guess we fell in love We were just playing our parts We were rebels under the bridge Leaving graffiti hearts Standing on this bridge we're burning down Standing on this bridge we're burning down Choking on the smoke, our love is burning all around Standing on this bridge we're burning down We're burning down, down, down, down, down, down So take one last good look around (standing on this bridge we're burning down) So take one last good look around (standing on this bridge we're burning down) I'm choking on the smoke, our love is burning all around Standing on this bridge we're burning down
