Crutch To A Cane
02:39
|
|||
Waiting around only twice that you found
It’s starting to sound the same
Straight to the top all the no’s and the not’s
They never went away
Tied to a rope and I hope that you float
It seems the only way
There’s blood in my veins said the crutch to the cane
It’s simple and plain
Living aloud but you don’t make a sound
When it comes time to say
Keep it in line through those hard times
And never walk away

Bring It On Home
03:47
|

Your face is on the front page staring me down
With weathered eyes and a weary crown
The whole thing’s spinning me round
The rolling of the wheels and a singing choir
Lower me down, put it in the ground
The whole thing’s wearing me down
We bar the doors and lock the chains
Pack your bags it leaves today
The rhythm of a heartbeat pounding in time
Swallow it up; you’re taking your time
They can’t keep robbing you blind
Tables start to turn like merry go-rounds
Lips are moving but they don’t make a sound
An earthquake’s splitting the ground
We bar the doors and lock the chains
Pack your bags it leaves today
I’m born to live I live to die
On and on and on I wonder why
On and on the fire is gone
We carry on we carry on
Every time I see those eyes
We wade along we wade along
Bring it on home…
We bar the doors and lock the chains
Pack your bags it leaves today
I’m born to live I live to die
On and on and on I wonder why

Silverware For Soul
03:10
|

Take me back somewhere
Where I can write a wrong
I had to steal the bread man
Just to keep me in the run
Maybe I was wrong
Hold me down I’ll keep you hidden
Half a life wasted
Running from a law
Time to make a trade-in
Silverware for soul
Maybe I was wrong
Hold me down I’ll keep you hidden
You break me down and you sell me out
Hold me down cuz I’m not kidding
Maybe I was wrong
Hold me down I’ll keep you hidden
You break me down and you sell me out
Hold me down cuz I’m not kidding

Lessons Learned
03:18
|

They sat you down and they told you son
You’d best be on your way
Held you there and they ties your chair
And told you what to say
We’re breaking down open doors
The smoke is rolling through the floors
You break me down just to build me up
And break me down again
The second time that we’ve hit rewind
I’ll see you at the end
We’re breaking down open doors
The smoke is rolling through the floors
You told me once, you told me twice
Then pushed me back again
Cracks and burns and lessons learned
Fortune washed away
We’re breaking down open doors
The smoke is rolling through the floors
You’re biting on the words I say
You turn around and walk away
We’re breaking down open doors
The smoke is rolling through the floors
You’re biting on the words I say
You turn around and walk away

Two Steps Back
03:02
|

Little toy soldiers line the edges of this bath
The bubbles always made me laugh
I wish I was I wish I were
I wish there was a one to find a cure
Sit still, let’s laugh
So take your photographs and the lessons that you’ve learned
And pool the money that you’ve earned
Cuz empty souls are wandering empty parking lots
They come here more often than not
It’s all the same when you have a void to fill
It’s all the same when you’re looking for the kill
Sit still, lay back, let’s laugh
Sit still, lay back, let’s laugh
It’s all the same when you have a void to fill
It’s all the same when you’re looking for the kill
Sit still, lay back, let’s laugh
Sit still, lay back, let’s laugh
And I know, that I will, come around

Vices
03:26
|

I shook your hand and I begged your pardon
Waiting around like you usually will
The ship goes down with the men and bottles
Waiting around like you usually will
It took a while but you finally found one
Hanging on and it’s your last breath waiting
Say goodbye to your vices
We’re going down and you’re the last one waiting again
Slowly falling ‘til you hit bottom
Water’s covering the window sill
You put a letter inside a bottle
Waiting around like you usually will
It took a while but you finally found one
Hanging on and it’s your last breath waiting
Say goodbye to your vices
We’re going down and you’re the last one waiting again

Level Out
03:59
|

Waiting around for something
Something you’ve never seen
Wait a while, I’ll tell you what I mean
Coming around at the sundown
Hanging around by the sea
The greatest thing no one’s ever seen
Taken back by the silence
The silence that you couldn’t read
Four walls closing in on me
Falling down like a ceiling
Caving in like a dream
Broken heart’s finally starting to bleed
Waiting around for something
Something you’re never seen
Wait awhile, I’ll tell you what I mean
My check mate..

Last Call
04:12
|

Take me out or take me in
Close the door let's see where this begins
If it's ten to five or half past nine
We don't need to see those hands tick
It all seems to change
When you're trying hard just to carve out a simple living
Wait for a while
Stand tall and take what you were given
So take what you want from me
The last round it comes for free
Wait 'til the last one's gone
Promise me that you won't be too long
We've driven miles to see these smiles
Tell me that you'll have me back again
If it's ten to five or half past nine
We don't need to see those hands tick
It all seems to change
When you're trying hard just to carve out a simple living
Wait for a while
Stand tall and take what you were given
So take what you want from me
The last round it comes for free
Wait 'til the last one's gone
Promise me that you won't be too long
So take what you want from me
The last round it comes for free
Wait 'til the last one's gone
Promise me that you won't be too long

You Know

She broke you down but solace you found
In doing the things that you know
It came and went but I’m quite content
In seeing where this goes
When you know, you know, you know
It’s finally starting to show
When you know, you know, you know
The hardest things is to go
Got dressed put our heart in your chest
And buttoned up your soul
It’s far away and it’s out of sight
We’re settling in for the night..
Think twice now you’re getting it right
Finally walking alone
Get down now you’re part of this town
Never letting it go

Brother
03:38
|

Tell me my brother why aren’t you like others
They tell me you’re kind of a stray
They say that you’re missing but not worth convincing
Is everything going ok?
I’ll never go back there again
I said that I wanted to mend
We sit on the back porch again
Our time is wasting away
Tell me my sister I know that you miss her
I guess you were pretty good friends
Sometimes I wonder just what put us under
Is everything going ok?
I’ll never go back there again
I said that I wanted to mend
We sit on the back porch again
Our time is wasting away
I’ve never been sadder to say
I want you to go

See For Miles
02:42

Get it out, get it in
Waiting on the right time ready to win
What do you say, how do you do?
Waiting for the right time ready to move
Begging for the right time settling in
Waiting at the back door letting me in
What do you say, how do you do?
Ready for the right time part of the groove
How do you say, what do you do?
Waiting for the right time ready to move
Say goodbye another time
Tag along, the by and by
Get in line I can see for miles
Moving on, my oh my
Begging for the right time settling in
Waiting at the back door letting me in
What do you say, how do you do?
Ready for the right time part of the groove
How do you say, what do you do?
Waiting for the right time ready to move
Say goodbye another time
Tag along, the by and by
Get in line I can see for miles
Moving on, my oh my

1905
03:21
|

Oh my it’s one of a kind
Sitting up top and looking around again
Let it begin
Same time, it’s a flawed design
Take a step back and bleed it out again
Paper to pen
My dime too many times
Open up the box we’re starting over again
Making amends
Oh my it’s time to fly
Take it to the top and see if we found a way
Time to ascend
The thrill of the ride in 1905
Won’t be matched again
Reading between lines, untangling the vines
A flower on the steam
Taking to the sky, skimming the tree lines
Lifting off again
Watch it go

My Old Friend

Sorry my old friend
This is where your story ends
We’re flipping pages through
With them nothing to do with you
Kiss the sky
I’ll kiss the sky if you don’t mind
I’m gonna try until I die
But I am so frustrated
They called me overrated
And here’s to you my dearest friend
On your life my world depends
Pictures don’t explain it
So come on, illustrate it
Sit down for a few
We’re turning the tables right on queue
People are talking again
The same old story with a different end
I’ll kiss the sky if you don’t mind
I’m gonna try until I die
But I am so frustrated
They called me overrated
And here’s to you my dearest friend
On your life my world depends
Pictures don’t explain it
So come on, illustrate it

Ren’s not ready to know
That she found a little letter in his pocket
And she’s not ready to go
But he found something better and he got it
The ordinary mind’s an extraordinary kind
You’re trying so hard just to fit into the scene
Ren’s not ready to know
That she found a little letter in his pocket
And she’s not ready to go
But he found something better and he got it
The ordinary mind’s an extraordinary kind
You’re trying so hard just to fit into the scene
And Ren’s not ready to knoooow…
This song’s about the d-bag scene and their try hard lifestyles, doing anything to be big on their scene.. It’s about one couple both catching each other cheating. Not lyrically strong but that’s just what it is
