Two Parts
03:27
|

|
You are only two parts from me.
Can't get it in my head you're not around,
'cause only in my head is where you're found.
Bird wings open, take flight for fun,
'cause when she took off she didn't know she'd land
straight into the palm of her Father's hand.
Your name means child,
quick! Take hold of the closest thing you have to call a home.
Quietly, you'll claim the things you know.

You are only two parts from me
You are only two parts from me
You are only two parts from me
You are only two parts from me

The Coming End
04:26
|
|||
|
I forgot to talk to you...
The only way I ever knew was a self-inflicted bloody bruise.
Our Father's never failed and in the tree where He was nailed, He left a carving of a lover's tale.
'Cause when I try to think about
What you had and were without
Takes me time to realize
You're always running for our lies
'Cause when you start believing your friends
You lose all sight of the coming end.
I was in the sea
I had mouthfuls of waves in my cheeks, I couldn't breathe
but I could see the shore
all my friends as the wake screamin' for more.
They were screamin' for more, screamin' for more.
Back in France yeah they all say "C'est la vie" and "seize the day!"
but I can't help but think they're all gonna pay.
Taking one step at a time, can't think about it I'll lose my mind.
I tried to find patience, believe me, Lord! I tried.
'Cause when I try to think about
What you had and were without
Takes me time to realize
You're always running for our lives
'Cause when you start believing your friends
You lose all sight of the coming end.
I was in the sea
I had mouthfuls of waves in my cheeks, I couldn't breathe
but I could see the shore
all my friends as the wake screamin' for more.
They were screamin' for more, screamin' for more.
I was on the beach lookin' out at the waves on the sea,
then I screamed.
I couldn't believe all my friends in the waves of the sea,
lookin' at me.
I was out on the shore and they screamed 'cause they wanted more.
Oh 'cause they wanted more!
Oh 'cause they wanted more!
I wanted more.

Waterfall
03:30

So cold, running like a waterfall
You told me that I could have it all
And it goes like "ahhhhhhhhhhh"
Unfold right before my face
Untold stories of my fate
And it goes like "ahhhhhhhhhhh"
Push me in, watch me drown
I throw my hands above 'til you force them down
So cold, running like a waterfall
You told me that I could have it all
And it goes like "ahhhhhhhhhhh"
Push me in, watch me drown
I throw my hands above 'til you force them down

Don't Kiss Me
03:28
|
|||
|
Don't kiss me I don't want to explode
I don't want you to know
My heart can't beat anymore
Don't pick up the pieces off the floor
If you knew what I thought then you'd know I wanted more
I don't want you thinking
I'm only here because you told me to follow you if I wanted to
I don't want you thinking
I stole these words from your girlfriend
She told me, "Don't go tellin' him how you feel!"
Don't grow up 'cause I like you this way
'Cause I want us to stay this old forever
Don't wake me from this dream that we've made
from the hand that could take our time together
I don't want you thinking
I'm only here because you told me to follow you if I wanted to
I don't want you thinking
I stole these words from your ex-girlfriend
She told me, "Don't go tellin' him how you feel!"
Don't kiss me I don't want to explode!

My Weakest Point
02:37
|
|||
|
Found myself spitting on the ground to try to get the
taste of you out of my mouth, its impossible.
I don't know how with you.
If you'd open up your mind you might actually see
a side of me you'll find isn't innocent.
To be real with you I'm not stronger than my weakest point.
Letting go seems so sensible
when you're hanging off a cliff by your fingers and toes.
Slipping away seems too easy to do.
I'm an octopus I'm sitting in my cave with my ink
and I'm hoping to G-d that one day you will sink
to the bottom of the sea where you'll spend your death with me.
I'm counting my blessings one day at a time,
but I'm still searching for one worth my time.
I'm cursing up the storm that sends your boat a-drifting
it's more of a sinking kind of ship.

Let Me Go
03:53
|
|||
|
Well I heard Jesus took away the taking as it comes.
So, I don't know when its done, and I'm not the only one.
But if I find myself thinking about it for too long,
I won't know when it comes along and if I do then I think I'm wrong.
There's no mistaking whose heart your breaking,
but I don't want you to let me go.
There's no faking I think I could take it,
but I don't want you to let me go.
I feel like I have tried everything in the book
to get back the part she took,
but I'm too afraid to look.
And I don't know why you push everything bad aside.
You can't look me in the eyes - you can't hide those ole' white lies.
There's no mistaking whose heart your breaking,
but I don't want you to let me go.
There's no faking I think I could take it,
but I don't want you to let me go.
If I find another reason to leave you, I might go.
But babe, I'm so unsure about how I feel for you, well I just don't know.
There's no mistaking whose heart your breaking,
but I don't want you to let me go.
There's no faking I think I could take it,
but I don't want you to let me go.

Paralyzed
05:05

|
Honest verse is hard to write
Touch my skin when it feels right
Thought I could fix it, your display
Delirium won't go, it won't stay
There's a stranger in your house
You tell him to take his time
His love is yet to be a crime
My good life's only in my head
I got spider's crawling up my leg
And I can feel my throat get tight
'Cause honest verse is hard to find.
It can't be done
He can't be stopped
I thought it was, but it's not
You apologize for your traveling thoughts
I thought it could, but it can't stop
Your paralyzed legs and arms drop
Your paralyzed legs and arms drop
My shadow's riding on my back
Your father's never coming back
And all the girls love Mr. May,
but his true love is in the rain.
There's a stranger in your house
You tell him to take his time
His love is yet to be a crime
It can't be done
He can't be stopped
I thought it was, but it's not
You apologize for your traveling thoughts
I thought it could, but it can't stop
Your paralyzed legs and arms drop
Your paralyzed legs and arms drop

Mission
03:37
|
|||
|
If I don't come back by tomorrow,
tell my mother I love her.
If I don't come back in one piece,
take what's left and bury
it inside your head where it can be
and eat away at your misery.
I am on a mission to be your ghost
"Welcome home, we love you so!"
I am on a mission to be alone
tell me, babe, did you love me at all?

Antiquity
02:26
|

|
Every boy that's come to me and said
"Hey! LeTz tRy tHis Out!"
can't every climb the wall I've built
can't get me to come out
and all this time I thought I knew
"Well this man is just a boy!
He think's he's been waiting for you
just to treat you like a toy!"
Well my hearts turned into antiquity
My mind is starting to believe
"Maybe it's me..."
Every boy that I've gone to and said
"Ur wut I'm lookin 4"
Never fails to fail me and of my heart he thinks he's sure
and by my heart I mean my hormones,
'cause lets me real all that we had
was making out in the back of the car that
belongs to mommy and dad. ;)
Well my hearts turned into antiquity
My mind is starting to believe
"Maybe it's me..."
and I'm sorry for wasting so much time on you
when none of it was really true,
but maybe that part was you.

Battlecry
06:18
|
|||
|
I want to grow old
but not with you.
Don't want to grow cold,
bitter, and blue.
Last time you saw me,
I broke down.
The second I left
oh I tasted the ground.
Can't believe I actually thought
you were real.
For once in my life,
I had something to feel.
You didn't leave her
when I asked you to go.
The saddest part is
that she'll never even know.
You didn't feel the same
about me.
Think I couldn't see through
the lies in your teeth?
All you have is a bed
that lies on the floor.
Your pictures, your looks,
your shows, and nothing more.
Why do you still talk to me as if you were true?
Boi, don't you know I got better things to do?
You don't get the hint when I never respond.
Sending me those pictures like you got it goin' on.
So tell me, who's your next victim gonna be?
Does that only happen when you're taken already?
I moved out of the state, was that not enough?
'Cause even you can't pretend that that was really love.
