Even when my blood pours out, Through my guts and out of my mouth, The timing is so off, the noise is so loud. Even when my bones are rotting in the ground, I feel a quiver now, I feel your shiver now Even when my eyes are old and worn out, I feel a quiver now. Even when my bones are rotting in the ground Even when my lungs are old and worn out Sanctioned home, quiet and alone A predetermined groan (Keep me off your throne) Sanctioned home, quiet and alone A predetermined groan (Keep me off your throne) Even when you smile my way, I know you don’t love me unconditionally Even when my bones are rotting in the ground And I can’t believe this now, So far away and so down. Tell me, tell me, God Why do you despise me? Even when my bones are rotting in the ground, Even when my eyes are old and worn out. Sanctioned home, quiet and alone A predetermined groan (Keep me off your throne) Sanctioned home, quiet and alone A predetermined groan (Keep me off your throne) Even when you smile my way, I know you don’t love me unconditionally Even when my bones are rotting in the ground Even when my blood pours out, Through my guts and out of my mouth, The timing is so off, the noise is so loud.

Ibuprofen 02:58
Your hair smells like last night, And both our heads are aching. A traveling body sleeping soundly on the floor, With a sign on the door. Soundly on the floor with a sign on the door, These are the times. Scribbled so sloppy, Scribbled so sloppy. As if they had somewhere to be in the morning. Your hair smells like last night. All my peers around me, they laughed all night, I know when I’m an old me, a tear will come from my squinted eyes These are the times, these are the times Your hair smells like last night. Scribbled so sloppy, Scribbled so sloppy.

Have you ever stopped and thought about the pain you're causing us? Have you ever stopped and counted how many tears have come from her eyes? Do you ever get tired of erasing the past and covering the lies? Did you picture this twenty five years ago with your hair dressed and your sixty nine countless? Did you picture the problem when you got your fix at 2am with a crying child at home? Well now you're left with problems, silence and a shell of what you used to love. Can you feel my touch as I’m falling backwards? Can you feel my heartbeat when I fall asleep? I find comfort in dreams. Can you see my eyes as they’re rolling backwards? Can you see me die on the inside out? It’s not too far behind. It’s just too bad that I’m too scared to say anything. It’s just too bad that you’re too sad to do anything. And it’s just too bad that you’ve become the man that I hate. And I wish I believed in God so I could have someone to blame. But I wish you could pray to something so they take away all your pain.

L'Ansia 03:28
Do me a favor, I won't be home till later. Maybe I just won’t come home at all. The longer this goes on, the faster I fall. The faster I fall, the longer this drags on. But sometimes you just have to let me breathe. Sometimes you just have to say you love me. Unconscious feeling, self conscious healing. And I’ll do it again, And I’ll do it again. This is the feeling of my heart slowly healing. Will you be the person to crush my soul? Will you be the reminder that I’m getting colder? Every year it’s getting harder to break the mould. And I don’t want to be here anymore. You are the reason depression never ceases. You are the knife in my back the migraine in my head. You are the reason depression never ceases, And I am a witness to that.

You told me that the distance would never affect or come between this Oh, how things can change over time And I’ll be deadly honest, I’m afraid to cry sometimes But that night as the cool wind was gazing through my window As the sun was going down, I let it all out, I had a smile while I did it Because it all just felt so right I have another year to go, We’re both sitting in Ohio. But it won’t last because one of us won’t leave So I’m forcing myself to play it by ear, Blocked out all the noise around me and I can’t hear Sometimes when I sit on the front porch Staring and thinking and caring, I get so low

Bad Trip 03:28
Change it, but don’t break it Fake it, but don’t break it I know how you will take it I’m just making sure you’re not mistaken Fragments shatter, lungs against the glass I long for answers of questions never asked Am I really who I’ve found? Am I just someone I can toss around? The lines on your face are a realization The feeling of this place has left me shaken Believe me when I say I’m as ashamed as I’ll ever be Why is it that whenever I see you, you avoid me? Choose the cards you’re dealt wisely Looking at my image in the mirror Looking at my image in the mirror Looking at my image in the mirror I’m a little scared I’m a little scared See that the deed is done And what’s the point of doing this if I’m not having fun? I’ve been hiding, I can’t run much longer Looking at my image in the mirror Looking at my image in the mirror Looking at my image in the mirror I’m a little scared I’m a little scared

Homesick 03:17
Found myself face down in the town I grew up in Even in my dreams, I cannot avoid the chilling scream I guess I’m here to stay now, mother, your wish is my command Mother, what would you recommend? Remember when we used to build castles in the sand? Remember when I got so drunk that I couldn’t stand? Were you proud of me then? Did you see my sloppy grin? I’m telling you for the first time this year, I don’t really want to be here I don’t want to see your tears Drip down your aging face for even one more second of the day I’m sorry that I couldn’t be a better man And I apologize for not having a life plan Thank you for always telling me that I can do anything I appreciate the kindness but I’m not the one to blame Break the mold, take a hold (I can’t be the one to tell you) Break the mold, you’re the soul (I can’t be the one to tell you) Call me what I was meant to be called, mother Make me what I was meant to be made, mother Break the mold (I can’t be the one to tell you) Break the mold, you’re the soul (I can’t be the one to tell you)

Day of Rest 03:19
It’s just really been hard for me to fall asleep this week, It’s not like you’re here to know that When you hear my voice, you think everything is fine Your fake laugh is killing me inside Things are changing a little now The path I see is full of thorns and weeds I’m a little sorry but not so much regretful I’m a little angry but I’ll always be respectful And I’m not sure I can live like this anymore And I’m not sure I can live like this anymore I, the tree You, the leaf I can’t help you if I can’t see Standing tall as everyone makes a home on top of me Tell me everything you want to hear You were just another leaf to fall off the tree

Cardinal 04:28
I’ve rigged up the courage Sewn my head together The colder months, I hide The warmer days, I try Is Sara still alive? A hole cannot be filled with my heart With feelings down inside The red bird, it’s beautiful and spry It’s building up a nest outside The red bird, it’s bright and full of life Making sure your tears will dry It’s that smirk, it’s that small hope It’s your face, now emotionless It’s that laugh you had from what I can remember It’s how sad you are when you’re alone My twisted stomach is turning as the day goes on And now I am alone My eyes are burning That’s just the way the day has gone I feel it in my bones My thoughts are running But you know how the story ends And now, I’m running home My twisted stomach is turning as the day goes on And now I am alone My thoughts are running But you know how the story goes And now I’m running home

I’m a lousy actor and I’ve been begging for a chance to shine You’ve called my bluff for the final time This year is over, I haven’t stayed sober The ache in my head is still here And everyday I live in fear The pain in my side is still here Looked at the bottom of my bottle And all it said was stop My mind tells me every morning When I feel that awful feeling But I go with my gut Instead of it healing
