Weapon 02:47
lyrics

All these people in my head Some are living, some are dead Some they just won't decide Got a weapon in my hand It can turn your brain to sand You should probably hide All I've ever asked of you Say you're sorry when you screw up We both know you have Look underneath the floorboards Find a little heart hoard It's throwing you back Didn't take as long as I thought it would To polish off those bottles of wine Now I'm slurring my speach, I'm way past Giving straight answers tonight I will let you know I will let you know Gotta give me a couple of days to think I might just hit the road Na na na na na na na na hey hey hey hey... Find a needle in the hay Frame it, put it on display For the whole world to see Running naked through the woods Don't care if you really should Can't tell you who to be Being perfect if a flaw She will sharpen all her claws Make you look like a clown I've been playing with my fires Trying to get a little higher Never wanna come down Didn't take as long as I thought it would To polish off that bag of cocaine Now I'm pacing the room, I feel like I'm not even in my own brain I will let you know I will let you know Gotta give me a couple of days to think I might just hit the road Na na na na na na na na Hey hey hey hey...

When I wrote these words I I was so far away All the time in the world to To figure out what to say It wasn't ever so easy To write a novel reply Like speaking with an eraser So many places to hide Then I see your face And I crumble like a piece of dirt I Wish I could say All the things running through my mind now Oh woh oh oh oh I wanna scream at the top of my lungs now But it's so easy to let it go When you be looking so good It's been a couple of days now Hope is starting to fade Trying to guess what kind of trouble You've been getting yourself into This is how it has to be Misery and ecstasy You've been fighting your battles Hope you find your middle ground soon And when your face I always crumble like a piece of dirt I Wish I could say All the things running through my mind now Oh woh oh oh oh I wanna scream at the top of my lungs now But it's so easy to let it go When you be looking so good

I'm moving on Cause I'm not interested anymore I've seen too much of this picture I've read too much of this book I've been listening to this song For too long I feel I've heard enough I've had enough I'm moving on Cause I'm not interested anymore I'm not attracted to you Like I was before Those big green eyes still light the sky But they don't excite me like they did When we first met I thought I was in love So I'm gonna sneak out the side window I'm gonna take all my things and go This is getting old True, I never really made an effort Never waited for an answer Before moving on I'm moving on I'm moving on Cause I'm not interested anymore I've seen too much of this city And of the fools who run the show Nothing's timeless anymore We're always looking for a new fix This one's obsolete And quickly worn I'm moving on Cause I'm not interested anymore I've had too much of this generation's Superficial war A race to arms for guns and cars When the next big thing will change the cards For a new hand And start again So I'm gonna sneak out the side window I'm gonna take all my things and go This is getting old True, I never really made an effort Never waited for an answer Before moving on I'm moving on So I'm gonna sneak out the side window I'm gonna take all my things and go I'm getting bored True, I never really made an effort Just spread the sickness Before moving on I'm moving on

Icarus Falls 03:22

Stay away, I got a range I have the pressure but I have no aim Woke up for the second time Dear porcelain I need a line Memories, so few between Is this a nightmare or a dream The lines are blurred, my thoughts are slurred There's no point in trying I tried to glide a bit too high My wax wings melted One hundred miles up in the sky I hit the ground at Full speed in my sleep Pick your poison, cry your tears Find your kryptonite, face your fears On a deathbed for a day No recovery and no escape Forgive me father, I have sinned I've lost my wits to a northern wind Took me quickly, threw me far Not even noon when it fell apart I tried to glide a bit too high My wax wings melted One hundred miles up in the sky I hit the ground at Full speed in my sleep I tried to glide a bit too high My wax wings melted One hundred miles up in the sky I hit the ground at Full speed in my sleep

Storm 03:09

Was it in the stars Or maybe even divine I was laying dormant When the planets aligned Sitting on the curb With a smoke in hand Waiting for a new day Take me by the hand and tell me what I've been missing Filling in the blanks That I failed to see I wouldn't ever believe I would need something So bad Maybe we can find a way To make this dark, dark world Seem a little bit brighter I know it doesn't look good Right now, but I'll battle through Hell with you It's a fucked up world With people living a lie You give yourself the right To sever all of your ties Sitting on the bed With a gun in hand Waiting for the end Look me in the eyes I wanna feel insane Lower your disguise And show me all of your pain I don't mind the rain You can soak me with Your storm Maybe we can find a way To make this dark, dark world Seem a little bit brighter I know it doesn't look good Right now, but I'll battle through Hell with you Everything is different now I can find pain in the perfect smile So close your eyes And weather the storm with me Tonight

Shell 04:18
lyrics

I never been sentimental I was a rock just doing his time Never changed for anybody But myself and time I was so blind Having trouble growing up now Appetite for lazy nights Stoned and alone, waiting it out You pop into my dreams From time to time you've given me A cigarette, and I needed a light Then I found you again When you needed a friend And I needed to wake up You broke through my shell With the slightest tap And that look in your blue eyes Ba da ba ba ba ba ba... I never felt that kind of pain You were a victim of faulty soles You got so much love to give But had it stolen by defective hearts Glad you had some left For me I wanna be the last one Found my needle I'm hanging on We can take the high road now The fog has lifted, no more clouds Enjoy the view When I found you again You really needed a friend And I needed to wake up You broke through my shell With the slightest tap And that look in your blue eyes Ba da ba ba ba ba ba... When I found you again You really needed a friend And I needed to wake up You broke through my shell With the slightest tap And that look in your blue eyes Ba da ba ba ba ba ba...

High Spot 03:15

Kick your shoes off into the sky Dip your toes in, it's cold as ice I'm only sober when I'm by your side Count to three, put my head in a vice, yeah Had a vision from the other night You were dancing in a coloured light See your curves and I can't deny I'm loosing sight of the line between Wrong and right Down the street there's a spot That's great for Sitting and watching the world go by There's a ski hill on the other side We can take it and Go for a ride Running circles in the middle of the room Til you're black out on the floor Hiding secrets from yourself again You're making my brain soar Run away to a different place Got the speed to outrun the flames Build a city and rocket through space Watch the planet disappear in your wake, yeah Waking up is so hard to do All these years, been a goddamn fool Now I know what's torturing you I only wish it had a hold of me too Down the street there's a spot That's great for Sitting and watching the world go by There's a ski hill on the other side We can take it and Go for a ride Running circles in the middle of the room Til you're black out on the floor Hiding secrets from yourself again You're making my brain soar
