Wake Up Now 04:29
Is anybody there I’m stuck here with my demons Can’t come up for air Can’t tell if I’m dreamin’ So come on golden boy Nothing lasts forever And all that I avoid Comes crashing down like heaven I know I’ve reached the edge And I’m not getting better I wanna breathe instead of screaming I wanna leave my head And wake up now Wake up now I’m in between two lives One of ‘em is ending Something’s gotta die Something’s gotta send me So help me out tonight Swear you’re not pretending I may have lost my mind Or maybe just my memory I know I’ve reached the edge Baby, I’m not getting better I wanna breathe instead of screaming I wanna leave my head And wake up now Wake up now Wake up now

Light Me Up 04:00
After all I’ve said and done What the hell have I become? Virginia, carry me Take me back home Back east The world is turnin’ It’s upside down And I’m a stranger to myself I can’t shut up I can’t sleep There’s no silence Inside of me Another nightmare Another ghost I’m just a shadow on my own Waiting on the sun to light me up Waiting on the sun to light me up Waiting on someone to light me up Waiting on someone My prayer is simple These days Please have mercy And look away I’m sick of sadness I’m sick of pain I need some sug ar in my veins Hallelujah Hell yes I’m one step closer Then I regress A bitter dream A bitter man A shadow shaking in your hands Waiting on the sun to light me up Waiting on the sun to light me up Waiting on someone to light me up Waiting on someone Waiting on the sun to light me up Waiting on the sun to light me up Light me up Waiting on someone

Heaven Bends 04:37
Hold my mind Hold it in your arms tonight Hold it til the bleeding dries Enough that I can weep Tie me down Push my feet against the ground Push your hand against my mouth Enough that I can breathe Let me down Let me out Holy rollercoaster Up and down Freakin out Is anybody sober Wish that I could make it stop Haven't my eyes seen enough? Heaven bends Beyond the light of day Resurrect My spirit from my pain, yeah Dance it off Maybe I can dance it off Maybe I can try to moonwalk myself back to earth Eyes on me Try not to make a scene Because it feels like I’m fighting With every surviving Broken part of me (almost home just keep on ridin Rocky road but the moon is shining PPS everything is alright Deep deep breathe it was just a bad night) Heaven bends Beyond the light of day Resurrect My spirit from my pain Birthday, panic attack With friends that forgive and forget Screamed so loud, the whole town heard It was raining, and I was sunburned And the barn was burning bright There was nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide And I’ve broken down before But this time Something in me died Yeah, something in me died Yeah something in me died Something died Heaven bends Beyond the light of day Resurrect My spirit from my pain

Feb 1st 03:59
Woke up wasted again I was 18 in my head And the day don’t wanna begin And the sun don’t wanna spin What can I say What can I do Yeah I was talkin’ with a friend When she looked at me and said You gotta discipline your mind Or you’ll suck the ocean dry Take me back to Chattanooga Take me anywhere today It’s February 1st And the winters startin’ to hurt I’m a year of misery I’m getting really sick of me Tell me what to say Tell me what to do Tell me what to do Now as the snow falls on the ground In this little hazy town I can’t help but wonder when I’ll see your face again Yeah take me back to Lake Louisa Yeah take me anywhere today I found a healer on the web If I could just get out of bed So take me somewhere I’m a stranger Yeah take me back to Santa Fe And show me faces unfamiliar Yeah show me somebody like you I’m really losing it today I’m gonna leave town on my break And I’ll drive until I find Somewhere I can rest my mind

Hellraiser 04:14
Summer night Hellraiser The horror film At your brothers Rocky road I hate the sight Of butterball And the cenobites Torture scene I start to curse I shield my eyes with your sweatshirt Let's get real with one another Let's go drive out past the suburbs Are you a gemini? Or a scorpio? I’m a virgin I mean virgo You ran a red light And then another In the backseat In the backseat Somethin’ startin to not feel right We turned left we should’ve turned right Open lament configuration Mother Mary invocation We’re goin faster now Than I thought we would It's getting late and You’re givin’ out ultimatums Like a samurai With a sharp sword But you ain’t got the trainin’ So you’re just goddamn dangerous No you ain't got the training So your just goddamn dangerous No you ain't got the training Yeah you’re just goddamn dangerous Back to Jake’s Blowout basement Party time Time to erase it You with your boys Startin rumors Ten shots of wine Wanna feel it sooner Torture scene I start to curse You better get those paws out of my purse (We never even nearly kissed You little lyin hedonist) I never said that I’d go home with you I never said that I’d go home with you I never said that I’m in love with you I never said that I, I, I... We’re goin’ faster now Than I thought we would It's getting late and You’re givin out ultimatums Like a samurai With a sharp sword But you ain't got the trainin’ No you’re just goddamn dangerous No you ain’t got the training So you’re just goddamn dangerous No you ain’t got the training So you’re just goddamn dangerous I’m ready to fast forward Past this scene We’re goin’ faster now Than I thought we would It's getting late and You’re givin out ultimatums Like a samurai With a sharp sword With a chop saw Yeah you’re just goddamn dangerous No you ain’t got the training Yeah you’re just goddamn dangerous No you ain’t got the training So you’re just goddamn dangerous Nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah

Closer 04:45
Cross your fingers and hope to live This is heaven for masochists Bite your nails until they bleed Bleed bleed bleed Can’t stand the violence of your mind So you try to live in mine But I’m on fire, secretly You’re more than welcome to burn with me Closer now Closer now Closer now Come closer Now that we’re not on the run We don’t know what we’ve become So Virginia hurry up Before we both start to rust You pressed your lipstick to the mirror Just to prove that you’re still here But I just wanna see ya, honestly I don’t wanna hurt you, just wanna be Closer now Closer now Closer now Come closer Closer now, closer now Closer now, closer now So cross your fingers and hope to live Let’s break the glass between our lips And take the deadbolt off the door And lock my body into yours Closer, closer Closer, closer Closer, come closer Closer now, come closer I might be the last man standing on this earth I might be the last man standing on this earth Yeah I might be the last man standing on this earth I might be the last man standing on this earth The last mam, the last man

Automatic 04:23
We used to laugh We used to cry together We used to break down And hold each other Those were the best Years of my life Now I’m hard pressed To pick a good fight Oh how I miss the days That were automatic We wrote the script And whatever we needed, we had it Pain has a funny way Of stealin’ all the magic But all that takes is a moment to cut through the static We buried ourselves Hired a soul assassin To give the sermon At an open casket There’s no goin back That ancient oath We can’t resurrect Our fighting ghosts Oh how I miss the days That were automatic We wrote the script And whatever we needed, we had it Pain has a funny way Of stealin’ all the magic But all that takes is a moment to cut through the static All that take is a moment to cut through the static All that take is a moment to cut through the static All that take is a moment to cut through the static

Fuck LA 04:03
Fuck LA Fuck New York Fuck Nashville Fuck Baltimore Wherever you are Fuck that place And come back home Fuck your job Fuck that call Fuck your crusade To win ‘em all Whatever you’re doing Fuck that thing And come back home Fuck the sun Fuck the stars Fuck the moon Fuck the multiverse Wherever you are In time and space Come back home Wherever you are Fuck that place And come back home

You’re my life I’m the luckiest man alive And when I die I’ll love you from the other side Nothing will ever break us Not even death will tear us apart Sweet Sarah You’re the only one I dream of And no matter what happens On this side of heaven I’ll always be with you And I’ll love you forever Nothing will ever break us Not even death will tear us apart Sooner than later We’ll turn to dust Meet in the garden I’ll wait in silence Til you come I’m the luckiest man alive And when I die, yeah I’ll love you from other side Love you from the other side Love you from the other side Yeah sweet Sarah I’ll love you from the other side Oh sweet Sarah Luckiest man alive
