Muddy Waters

What am I but a breathing machine
Stuck in muddy waters, muddy waters
Excuse me if I'm making a scene
But I'm out of order out of order
Leaving ain't as hard as it seems
Love is not renewed in the spleen
So remove that organ, move that organ
Sew me I'll bleed on your sheets
And I keep coming over, coming over
Giving you whatever you need
It's not getting easier
And honey I can't forget
All the words I'm trying to speak
But I always falter, always falter
Going through our morning routine
Stay a little longer, little longer
Guess leaving ain't as hard as it seems
It's not getting easier
And honey I can't forget
What did I say
It's not getting easier
And honey I can't forget

Common Sense

You said I could be whatever I want
Now I'm 32 and I live above her dad
All I need is something that can numb me up
Falling on my back means I can watch the stars
If I fucked up the rest of my life
Can you acknowledge please that I tried
Oh my God, will you listen?
Break my heart with common sense
Everything's changing and I'm drained
Most days just feel the same
What if I'm just the only one
That still believes in vain
If I fucked up the rest of my life
Can you acknowledge please that I tried
Oh my God, will you listen?
Break my heart with common sense
Give me something I'm dying to breath
The grass seems greener but it's so out of reach
Give me something to get me to sleep
So just go ahead and lie through your teeth

Circles

What's that permanent cloud you see me walking around with
I grew to love it myself, you say it's all in my head
Say it's all in my head
Oh well...
Always wanting more
Washed along the shore
I can't hold myself
I know now
We walk, we walk in circles
I know now
We walk, we walk in circles
You're gonna hurt yourself
You're gonna hurt yourself so close your eyes
I know now
We talk and talk in circles
"You keep it all to yourself why don't you talk to me instead?"
Better drown in that well than have you hate me again
I know it's not in my head
Oh well...
Always wanting more
Washed along the shore
I can't hold myself
I know now
We walk, we walk in circles
I know now
We walk, we walk in circles
You're gonna hurt yourself
You're gonna hurt yourself so close your eyes
I know now
We talk and talk in circles
You're gonna hurt yourself so close your eyes
I know now
We walk, we walk in circles
I know now
We walk, we walk in circles
You're gonna hurt yourself
You're gonna hurt yourself so close your eyes
I know now
We talk and talk in circles

Brand New

Black hearts flying home
On borrowed wings
Wounds all exposed
Fakle smiles, fake hopes
Love on screen but sleeping alone
All alone
Strip me of paradise
Suck every bit of light
Crush me with your embrace
Oh what a let down
Love it when on my knees
Begging you darling please
Crush me with your embrace
Oh what a letdown
Watch me I'm breaking down
In the passenger's seat
You shouldn't have come around
I'm a spreading disease
Tired of the talking
And bereft of words
Come spit them out
All your favorite quotes
In the water we will meet
Sinking ships inside the sea
Strip me of paradise
Suck every bit of light
Crush me with your embrace
Oh what a letdown
Love it when on my knees
Begging you darling please
Crush me with your embrace
Oh what a let down
In the water we will meet
Sinking ships inside the sea
Love it when on my knees
Begging you darling please
Crush me with your embrace
Oh what a let down

Wonder
02:23

Breath breaking over your cigarette
The smoke can't hide the shame
You said "We make a nice mistake"
I'm guilty for a heart that breaks so kiss me one more time
Now I'm falling at the seams
And if I was to pass by you
Would you remember me?
I wonder
And if I was to talk to you
Would you want me to?
I wonder
Still shaking can't really feel myself
Is that me really here?
I think I saw somebody there
You said "Oh baby let them stare and kiss me one more time"
Now I'm falling at the seams
And if I was to pass by you
Would you remember me?
I wonder
And if I was to talk to you
Would you want me to?
I wonder
What's that moment in a feeling
Time just keeps on stealing what my eyes can't find
Lost a lifetime in a second, so I should just let go
What was never mine

Smithereens
06:02
|
|||
All night spent to unwind
In my mind thoughts intertwined
I know it's all on me
My love for misery
A lack of sympathy for anything that makes me feel
Some kind of happiness, things I cannot express
I'm always showing less, I can't ask you to live with it
Will you be alright with this
Go on and finish what I couldn't start
And shatter everything
Just let me keep the smithereens
Daylight comes in due time
Helps fight my darker side
I've been poking your ribcage
Trying to see
If there's any sign of fight left inside you and me
Daylight comes in due time
I know it's all on me
My love for misery
A lack of sympathy for anything that makes me feel
Some kind of happiness, things I cannot express
I'm always showing less, I can't ask you to live with it
Will you be alright with this
Go on and finish what I couldn't start
And shatter everything
Just let me keep the smithereens
The deeper the wound
I drift out to the deep end
But I can't save us
Will anybody know
I still miss it
Will you be alright with this
Go on and finish what I couldn't start
And shatter everything
Just let me keep the smithereens

Call You Up
04:52
|

If I’m ever being honest
No, I never kept a promise
When we're dancing on the ceiling
I am scared of this feeling
You were laughing drunk remember
Was it June or late September
All the moments I keep stealing
I am scared of this feeling
Last thing I remember
I was hiding in your sweatshirt
I’ve been lost in there for hours
Through the scents and all the fibers
And I’m scared of this feeling
Maybe I’m dreaming…
If I get out of here
If I feel trapped
Can I call you up?
Can I call you up?
Now we’re walking on a wire
But our luck has long expired
We were craving for some healing
And I’m scared of this feeling
Last thing I remember
I was hiding in your sweatshirt
I’ve been lost in there for hours
Through the scents and all the fibers
And I’m scared of this feeling
Maybe I’m dreaming…
If I get out of here
If I feel trapped
Can I call you up?
Can I call you up?
If you go down my way
Just stay…

Carry On
05:23

I want to live on the other side of town
Where no one knows my name or what I am about
I'll carry the past in tiny plastic bags
And all the rocks will rest under my pillow
I want to hang with all my friends from when I was younger
Just sit around along the sea
We'll sing and dance to a song we liked when we had fun
But now I'm lost and I can't find the will to
Carry on
I want to live on the other side of town
Just soak the sun in and hope I’m never found
I’ll wash away all those years facing the ground
By screaming from the rooftop of my house
But truth be told I think I’ll stick around
And fight the waves until they drag me down
I’ll stay lost in your affection, never have a recollection
I’l pretend I’m doing fine and
Carry on
