Coming Home
04:34
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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’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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|

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

Eclipse
05:18
|
|
||
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
