Comfort Of Escape 03:40
lyrics

COMFORT OF ESCAPE Tell it to me straight boy I don’t have the patience for I just can’t relate To any of this anymore Level with me now Same sad song a different face From a different town In a different time and place Tell it to me straight Boy I can’t take your lies no more This insecurity has got the best of me Some things never change But nothing really stays the same I can’t imagine what’s happened It’s all just unraveling unraveling again The birds are all awake And now the daylight breaks And now the morning starts The birds are all awake And now the daylight breaks And now the mourning starts This comfort is my only escape Discomfort is my only escape

Lullaby For The Damned 03:38
lyrics

Look both ways his daddy was a preacher he had a little sister who could paint the Mona Lisa One day his daddy said, “Boy I don’t know how to reach ya,” so he took off his build and said, “so I’m just got beat ya.” The Devil’s gonna eat your soul he’ll eat your soul. You’re quick to fall apart when you’re scarred from the start They say that he was born with a broken heart Yeah he grew up young and, he grew up fast His mama was a junkie with a monkey on her back The Devil’s gonna eat your soul he’ll eat your soul.

Just You And Me 04:53
lyrics
buy track
What’s the difference between the blue and black The blue’s your sky the black is mine and I aunt comin back No use flaunting a meaningless goodbye so just sit back relax distract yourself with sunny skies What does it all mean to you now Now that the world’s been turned upside down Why can’t you hear the words that I say Why can’t you feel the pain I portray Pictures fading of you and me You see the truth as you pursue what I swore I’d never be Aftermath of a careless choice I feel it’s real the desperation clinging to your voice What does it all mean to you now Now that the world’s been turned upside down Why can’t you hear the words that I say Why can’t you feel the pain I portray What if it all came down to you and me Just you and me

Smile 05:13
lyrics
buy track
Stones and sticks and brick by brick I tear my life apart And broken bones will feel like home compared to broken hearts And after all’s been said and done we were young and havin fun until we stopped to look around My whole life I searched for this now I finally got my wish and I cannot wait to throw it all away I know my choices weren’t right but I don’t know have the will to fight So come on one last time let’s throw it all away Preservation takes too much and’s often overrated I was once the boy you loved now I’m the man you hated When consciousness is too much stress we like the comatose caress it’s the beginning of the end. My whole life I searched for this now I finally got my wish and I cannot wait to throw it all away I know my choices weren’t right but I don’t know have the will to fight So come on one last time let’s throw it all away No worries just smile There’s nothin left to lose No worries just smile There’s nothin left but me and you

Station 39 03:34
lyrics
buy track
Faction of fiction The facts are somehow missing I suppose They’re just a little scattered Separated The truth is often jaded and it shows But it doesn’t really matter And it hurts my friend Again and again And I hope I see you in the end I’ve got no tears to cry Just got to bide my time All the way to the station Dining room table filled with contraband I understand I’ve really done it this time In the mirror without clothes I’m supposed to weigh the pros But the cons are waiting outside And it hurts my friend Again and again And I hope I see you in the end I’ve got no tears to cry Just got to bide my time All the way to the station

Distractions 03:15
lyrics

what’s the matter we burnt out bridges down there’s no more lies to hide behind our hearts are hollow ground Treasures from the trenches we so greatly prized However glorified it’s simply a demise I can see the light at the end of the tunnel My vision’s kinda blurry and I’m kind of in a hurry I can’t see the forest for the trees I’m so oblivious I’m kind of gettin worried yeah, you know I’m gettin worried No one told me it would no longer satisfy that look upon your eyes you no longer recognize I see it creepin creepin up on you baby You tell me that you love me but it’s so easy to hate me I can see the light at the end of the tunnel My vision’s kinda blurry and I’m kind of in a hurry I can’t see the forest for the trees I’m so oblivious I’m kind of gettin worried yeah, you know I’m gettin worried

Lucky Leper 02:59
lyrics

How do you sleep at night knowing your to blame From a distance I look different but I’m really just the same as any other lucky leper with a stigma stapled to their name I can’t seem to concentrate I’m crippled by your stare the world could crash down around us and still I wouldn’t care Your silhouette like smokestacks resonates a feeling of despair We need another day one that God can’t take away one that promises a brighter future for the kids Tell my mother that I’m sorry but you only get one life to live

Letting Go 04:20
lyrics

My words are like a twelve gauge shotgun twisted around so they blow up in my face My heart is like the pin to a hand grenade you keep me together or just throw me away Our love is like a hurricane hit me dead on and I can’t figure out which way to go Our life is like a freight train of dynamite cause if it hits you when it hits you you’ll never know If I died in my sleep would I wake up in heaven would I would I would I wake up in hell And if you told me the truth would it tear us apart again A pain that broken bones have never felt And I love you like the first time I want you like the last time I need you like the past times I haunt you the only mistake on your mind I’m letting go Your eyes are like a hundred thousand forest fires burning burning burning through me straight to my soul Your company is kept close like a precious stone and I don’t ever want to let it go This night is like a full moon tourniquet it wraps you up so we can fall asleep and fade away Our love is like a cold hard bump in the road a shot of clarity to drown out the day If I died in my sleep would I wake up in heaven would I would I would I wake up in hell And if you told me the truth would it tear us apart again A pain that broken bones have never felt And I love you like the first time I want you like the last time I need you like the past times I haunt you the only mistake on your mind I’m letting go I’ll give you time to breathe I’ll give you room to bleed I’ll give time to feel I’ll show you something real Baby oh baby I’m letting go

Good Intent 03:55
lyrics

Woke up in a state of panic don’t know what to do with myself again I just keep tryin tryin tryin but it never gets any easier no no downtown gonna see the sequel it gets harder every time I’m here we thought that this could last forever but we never learn gotta come down some time Don’t know if I really wanna understand it I can’t be everything to everyone the road to hell is paved with good intentions I guess I’m on my way down now Bloodstains on a broken canvas never wanted it to end this way we’re worlds apart without a messenger and I can’t stand to live like this any more All alone in a bathroom mirror turn around to avoid the empty eyes staring back, I don’t think I can handle it but you know it’s just so much to easier to lie so much to easier to lie so much easier Don’t know if I really wanna understand it I can’t be everything to everyone the road to hell is paved with good intentions I guess I’m on my way down now

Never Saw It Coming 05:00
lyrics

Am I the candle you miss blown out so abruptly Or the one that you watch melt away into nothing Am I the one in a box that’s never around Or the one you set off that’ll burn it all down So why don’t you tell me how this is supposed to end Should I pretend Should I close my eyes and act surprised Like I never saw it coming Am I the thorn in your side or the rose in your hand All the petals have died but I still don’t understand It sits on the shelf a morbid reminder Of all the mistakes she should have left behind her So why don’t you tell me how this is supposed to end Should I pretend Should I close my eyes and act surprised Like I never saw it coming x2 So why don’t you tell me x3 Exactly how this is supposed to end
