Coming Home 04:34
lyrics
Life looked much better when I was a boy A bad haircut but no one to impress I've gone through the changes but still got a few steps to take before I’m a man If it takes a real man to embrace his death then a man I’ll never be I’ll crawl to the crossroads like a newborn child And finally when I’ll get there I’ll beg to come back home This is the anthem of my broken heart If I make it back home then I’ll know where to start This is the anthem of my broken dreams I’ll make it back home If heaven overflows or just runs out of room send me an angel I’ll keep her here with me I’ll cut off her wings and fly back home and stay there until I’m taken away I’m coming home

Rosary 04:59
lyrics
Wake up and smell the roses I left on your front porch Wake up to the thousand letters that I wrote since you've been gone Tell St. Peter at the gate that you're not done living You float through the ceiling You dance on our graves I've gotta find a way to keep you here There's no better feeling than having you stay But I've gotta find a way to keep you here Mother, counting the beads on her Rosary If she only knew Daughter, counting the glass stuck in her teeth In the back of her skull Tell St. Peter at the gate Everything I would change everything if you were still here Wake up and smell the roses I left on your gravestone

Cigarettes/Brothers 06:38
lyrics
Staple your arms back on And patch up the holes inside your lungs and learn to breathe again You are so lovely, you are beautiful Get rid of the stale air And get rid of the fragments of the glass inside your skin Lovely, broken girl. You’re fixable Lovely, broken heart. You’re mend-able Suck down that cigarette till you’re sucking on your fingertips Don’t pretend that you’re smiling when you’re not Keep reaching for air and learn to breathe again Brother I found you in the forest of your mind Brother you were lost but I found you in time Though you never speak barely over a whisper My attention's all yours now You're no longer talking to this speechless wall With the sunlight around your head like a halo You came out and you finally spoke "I don't think we're much of anything We're just dark and selfish souls Brother I am scared No, brother I'm not scared of dying alone But brother I am scared of losing control"

Riverbeds 05:49
lyrics
The lines that divide your life into pieces are broken Everything inside your head is so mixed up They left you in the riverbed at the bottom of the canyon What friends you have Where do you run when no one loves you Where do you go when no one wants you The cliffs are breaking The rocks are pouring on your empty soul What you thought would save your life ended up killing you And you cried out “where’d you go when I needed you the most” What friends I have Let me break your heart Let me make you whole again

I Know (That I Don't Know) 05:20
lyrics
I’ll make my way back to you and my way back to the son I go back and forth again My time is ever at war I don’t know where I'm gonna go from here I know that you’ll be right beside me till the end We all need comfort We all need hope We all need each other For if not our time will be lost We’ll all be lost I’ll make my way back to you and my way back into love I've got so many choices to choose What if I choose the wrong ones I don't know where we're gonna go from here But I know that I'll be right beside you till the end Take it back now say the things I know I say that we have something to prove That we all grow

Line of Cars 05:44
lyrics
I watched your curled up body roll away on a hospital gurney And I heard you say that you love me but I just turned away Puncture a hole inside my tinfoil heart Open the wound Empty out all the things that I have done Oh God you see right through me My anxious heart beating in your quivering arms Against your chest I made you this way didn't I I climbed up my tower to watch the world burn to the ground Like some kind of monster A monster you don’t need to be around I watched you go down I’m on the Empire State Building Throwing cars and planes into the street Not caring where they land Not caring who I’m hurting Line of cars behind a pileup All these people I've affected

Prom Queen Pt. 2 05:02
lyrics
She was the prom Queen, she had it all figured out Valedictorian, Vice President She’d wait till the weekend to put down the books The other girls hated her because of her looks The cutest smile, the brightest eyes, I bet you’d be surprised to know the truth Cause underneath this beauty queen, the saddest girl you've ever seen, I swear Abusive father, needy mother, hasn't seen big brother in 6 years So bite your lip and wipe your tears cause graduation isn't here just yet She was miss popular, but no one knew the real her Cheer-leading captain with a 4.0 She smiled and laughed, she played the part well But nobody knew she was living in hell Makeup, shoes, and alcohol, you've seen it all, you've done it all haven’t you Drinking, drugs, and dating boys, anything to fill the void inside Doctor, teacher, Harvard Law, she’d never make her parents very proud Depression, fear, anxiety, the scars she had were more than just skin deep You can’t fake your way out this time She’d seen enough, she’d had enough, this teenage dream was turning into dust Her father beat her every night, her friends were barely on her side it’s true She laid there crying in her bed, cocked the pistol put it to her head All her grades and school awards didn't really matter anymore

The Benchwarmer 04:08
lyrics
I can't seem to get myself some rest I toss and turn with this weight on my chest And I try so hard to get you out my head but with no success I'm so afraid to love you I want you beside me That's all I'll ever need This is not what I had in mind I've been hurt one too many times And I'll take my leave and watch as you walk away I'm so afraid to love you There's no one beside me That's all I'll ever be I guess I'll sit this one out
10.
Eclipse 05:18
lyrics
We are not the same But in a strange way that's okay Because our differences can't comprehend The time that we have spent Cause when we are together And the time's just right Like some awkward pleasure When our bodies align One day our time could be running thin But I hope this feeling never ends Cause if that day shall come to pass My heart will be long gone at last The looks on all their faces At such a beautiful sight Cause when we are together We shine so bright We can take over the world tonight
