A Slow Dance

Channels

High on hopes, down on my luck. I've struck out, I don't give a fuck. The channel keeps changin'. But it's always turnin' back to you. . What are we gonna do now?.

Bullet 15

throwing rocks at the house next door. you better make sure you got bullet proof doors. more time to get your closets clean. the skeleton police are on the scene.

Broken Down And Out

This is the dawning of the age of who knows best. And with each passing day I feel like I know less. They say somewhere in the world there's political unrest.

Atrocity

You can't tell me how to be, you can't tell me. What I should see when I'm sleepin', I'm still believin'. Stripped of all identity, I try to sleep, I grit my teeth.

The Spaces Between

She comes to find me way too soon. And leaves me leaves me way too fast. For my heart, to be anywhere but with the moon. You know, it's cold out there and its dark.

Shooting Star

Save my heart. For all of time. If you're going to open up. Well, come and pay the price. . And take this love. Take it to the streets. Burn down everything.

Play A Part

You were right, I was wrong from the beginning. Wrong from the very first night when you said. We could stay here forever and never ever, ever forget.

Only Wanna Love Ya

In the cracks, in the cracks is where you'll go. I'll find you in the dark with a head full of snow. And downtown with the big dark eyes. You opened up your heart to a big black sky, black sky.

In The Night

Time ticks, ticks away. Over bright lights and machines we've made. A beautiful face in a bar. Is one raindrop in a million others. . You'll never know of the night sky.

Crazy

I found a photograph that I took. Around this time last year. All the colors they stayed true. Around your lips and hair. . We had a chance to go anywhere we want.

Blackbird

Call me a thief of your heart. Call me anything that you want. I'm over the sentiment that was here. In this body of mine years ago. . So give us the pieces, give us the part.

Are You Awake?

I had love in a backyard. I went out one day and took it apart. Like my dad used to do on a sunny afternoon. Break something old to build something new.
