She is enough to make the skies open up
And make that recluse sun shine overhead
She has a way to drive all your fears away
And if you treat her right, she has one guarantee
Don't you know there's nothing she wouldn't do
Do for you
If you're anything like me, you know love can make you be
So afraid you wanna brush it off and run
But if you can hold on, don't let yourself give in
She will do anything to keep you standing
(Chorus)

About You
02:43
|
|||
Start the car
Driving back from your house
Light up a smoke
Trying to drop you from my brain
Should've stayed away
But you mess me up
And you turn away
Every time I think of you
I don't know what to say
I'm at the bar
Didn't have to go that far
Light up a smoke
Trying to drop you from my brain
Should've stayed away
But you mess me up
And you turn away
Every time I think of you
I hope you're not okay

For Nothing's Sake
02:29
|
|||
My body feels like it can float
Even though I know that it won't
I pass around and through the glade
And sink so slowly in the shade
I dream of you and start to drool
I'm forgetting all my own rules
And soon the sky forgets the day
Then fades away
I'll probably forgive all your sins but never mine
If there's time, I'd like to be something you need and can still find
Can you find me, are you blind?
I've gotta close my circuits, I'm dead to the world
That in mind, if you will be my makeup I will be your girl
Will you hide me deep inside?
My body aches for me to break
Under the strain for nothing's sake
You're oblivious as you pass
And peek at me through the dark glass
Your memory is my last meal
As I start to forget what's real
And soon the sky forgets the day
Then fades away

Fight or Flight
03:25
|
|||
The sun woke you up, you light up a butt
With barely one puff left
You beg for just one more night
You look down the street, and hear all their feet
Off to work
You wish you could sleep through it all
Did it go the way that you thought it would?
Did you find a solution like you thought you could?
When something's not right and you know it's fight or flight
You drop everything and run toward that light
Your mouth full of fire
Laying your head on the trip wire
It isn't your fault, you're just so tired
Breakfast in bed, just coffee and bread
You don't need much
Your stomach's just another void
You quietly say that this is the day
And that's alright
After all it's just your life
Cause you got no respect like you hoped you would?
What's the point in not leaving, when they knew you would?

Waking up with some hair of the dog
He likes drinking on the job
Maybe another one will clear the fog
He likes drinking on the job
He'll eat whatever he's got on hand
He likes drinking on the job
Instant oatmeal in an old soup can
He likes drinking on the job
He's gotta go while he can still stand
He likes drinking on the job
He clocks in and he tumbles down
He likes drinking on the job
Everybody thinks he's such a clown
He likes drinking on the job
Don't get commission and he don't get tips
He likes drinking on the job
He hears a song he hates and shakes his hips
He likes drinking on the job
And kisses a rude shopper on the lips
He likes drinking on the job
I can't believe he made it this far
He's at the register playing air guitar
He's got a drinking game for everytime he sees that clock
But oh he's not to blame
He makes a wage that would drive anyone in sane
So it's really no wonder why he likes drinking on the job
His boss has had it, now he grabs his flask
He likes drinking on the job
He says to sleep it off or don't come back
He likes drinking on the job
So he starts to take off all his clothes
He likes drinking on the job
And leaps into the produce all exposed
He likes drinking on the job
Can't take it anymore he's gonna explode
He likes drinking on the job

I wanna say what's on my mind
But I know that it isn't right
It's like I've got a bomb inside
I love you but I wanna die
And I'd tell you but I'm not the type
To say things that possibly might backfire
But I'm trying
It's a real motherfucker to
Feel like I'm never getting over you
And you treat me like your ugly shoes
I wanna be a better man
But I'm eating chili from a can
And I don't think you understand
What is it about me you don't see
Or is it you just don't see me
I just feel like I'm a disease that you're immune to
I fell asleep on the stove
And now my hair's on fire for your love
I wish I was what you dream of
I love you but I wanna die
And I know that it isn't right
But it's just something I can't fight

Howl
03:30
|
|||
These dark nights I howl
Through the sleeping town
I hide my teeth beneath that spiteful moon and cry
Through the black I see
On pure hearts I feed
I kneel beside my meal
And then I start to weep
I spend my lonely days
In bed but wide awake
Waiting for days to end and night to call my name
And though I pray for change, it always ends the same
Now grab your gun and torch
As I spring from the porch
Tonight they'll have my head and I will howl no more
I won't forget the sound
They came and shot me down
They were just making right everything I'd done wrong
And now they've set me free, oh lord it won't be long

How Days Go
03:15
|
|||
I stared at the light so long that i went blind for an hour or two
I just went to bed to get out of my head
That's how days go without you
But I still wake up, and I still try to eat
And I still do my best, cause I still try to keep it together
I sat by the fan blowing across a beer can waiting so long for you
I'm glad my guitar can keep me out of the bar at least a day or two
And I smoke to clear my mind
And I take a step outside
And I sigh because I try, trying just to keep it together
Love you forever

Never Gonna Sleep Again
04:09
|
|||
I'm never gonna sleep again
All these bottles are my best friends
See folks laughing all their days
As I let my years waste away
I'll never have what they have
Cause my dreams just drive me mad
I want it all
Would you believe me if I spoke
Or would it all just be a joke
And now you're packing up your things
You go play the game I'll play these strings
I was never scared to be alone
I'll just talk to the voicemail on my phone
Don't break my fall
I'm never gonna sleep again
Why do I feel I've reached the end
I try to occupy the nights
But all my ghosts have cut the lights
What can I do with all my time
My looking back has struck me blind
I guess I'll lose it all

Forgiven
01:48
|
|||
You told me you'd be gone today
But here I stay
You say you'll leave me alone
But now I'm home
You're always saying that you need me
So back up what you say
Because if I give up it might just be today
In a house we used to call home
I'm alone by the phone
We used to stay up day after day
But what can I say
If you're so quick to let me go
Why should I stay
You're too wrapped up in your head to ask if I'm okay

Through the Fog
02:55
|
|||
I've been waiting for you for all of my life
All that I see is you when I close my eyes
When I take you by the hand
We're walking backwards in the sand
At last, it's nice to see you through the fog
When I can hear you speak, I know I'm okay
It cuts deep like a knife when you go away
When I fall asleep at night
Were small enough to float on kites
And then I wake up and see you through the fog
