Kiss It 03:14
I didn't dream you to life I never felt against my heart the blade of a knife I never promised to myself That I could cut everyone out for my mental health Until I met you I didn't know How vast the pain inside my heart could grow Until I met you I thought You could kiss it all away You said you'd love me till your dying breath But now it seems to me that I must love myself to death I don't believe in the sun anymore I've burned too deeply and my heart is sore I don't believe you when you say you can Kiss it all away Won't you kiss it all away

Theater 04:16
Drinking in the theater And I'm feeling dizzy, baby 'Cause I'm trying to explain It ends in E-R, not in R-E And you say you don't see the difference And I ask if you're even listening And I apologize for calling Only when I'm feeling lonely I pretended not to see you When I arrived at the party It's not that I don't like you I just won't say that you scare me And I'm down to my last smoke And I know I'm going home alone Tonight I'll lay in my bed And curse the words I never said I'm down to my last smoke And I know I'm going home alone Tonight I'll lay in my bed And curse the words I never said I'm down to my last smoke And I know I'm going home alone Tonight I'll lay in my bed And curse the words I never said

I feel a part of me has died We never got to say goodbye I wait for you, and my heart it yearns The news assured you won't return Seasons come and seasons change I'm afraid I don't feel the same As when I saw you on that first night We drew a smoke and shared a light Sweet thing, it was never even one of us We took the scenic route on the way to hell I can't believe I never saw the signs You wrote the part, I think I played it well You took the wheel Inside the Beverly Hilton I watched your friend try to summon The spirit of someone we never knew That night I fell in love with you I left your bed before sunrise Packed up my things and took a drive I stayed the night in a haunted hotel There I wrote out all my farewells Sweet thing, it was never even one of us We took the scenic route on the way to hell I can't believe I never saw the signs You wrote the part, I think I played it well You took the wheel And I suppose I never really knew you But somehow this feels like a goodbye Like when you first leave your hometown Or like seeing your father cry They say home is where the heart is I suppose I have no heart And before we reach our little ending Let our wounds have some salt Sweet thing, it was never even one of us We took the scenic route on the way to hell I can't believe I never saw the signs You wrote the part, I think I played it well You took the wheel

Fool's Gold 04:41
Is it shame that keeps you from showing your face When have I ever turned you away I've been mining for a million years I've been mining for a million years I've been hiding for a million years I've been hiding for a million years I am weary I am weary I am weary I am weary Are you just a pile of fool's gold Are you gonna let me die in the cold When I find out I can only be told That you'll only bring me trouble So many times I called you were nowhere to be found I called you were nowhere to be found My heartbeat, what a terrible sound My heartbeat, what a terrible sound I am weary I am weary I am weary I am weary I feel so small around you I feel so small around you I feel so small around you I feel so small around you I've been mining for a million years I've been mining for a million years I've been mining for a million years I called you were nowhere to be found I called you were nowhere to be found I called you were nowhere to be found I've been mining for a million years I've been mining for a million years I've been mining for a million years I've been mining for a million years I've been mining for a million years I've been mining for a million years

Executioner 05:09
You're the executioner I saw it on your computer You lead the girls to the chopping block And raise your weapon high And they thank you when you do it Because you're so damn good at it And you say you love them I'm not who I used to be I saw it on your TV screen I don't want more strangers to touch me Or anyone at all I'll stay in my bedroom Pretending I am good for you And you've fled the country You're the executioner (I hide like a fugitive) I saw it on your computer (Some days I forget how to live) You lead the girls to the chopping block (I go home with nature so placid) And raise your weapon high (I know she doesn't care) And I'll thank you when you do it 'Cause we both know I deserve it And I'll still call in the morning

Another Day 05:12
If you wanted to You could have it all We don't have to choose We don't have to stop We can just stay here for another We can just stay here for another We can just stay here for another day Another day It's the forgotten bridge That I left unnamed I was never on your mind Anyway We can keep treading for another We can keep treading for another We can keep treading for another day Another day I don't know if I can stop trying Why it should be you, well, I don't know You won't see me running home and crying I'll make it good and I promise to take it slow Honey, how can you love this city When it doesn't even care if you live or die You don't think that I've got it in me But I could go all night But I think It's about time I leave Before this place Destroys me I've felt another's touch for the last time I've felt another's touch for the last time I've felt another's touch for the last time I think now I'll just wait to die I've felt another's touch for the last time I've felt another's touch for the last time I've felt another's touch for the last time I think now I'll just wait to die

Never Love 02:55
I'm ashamed of how I treated you These last three years I can't sleep without you here We both wanted the same thing And distance is too tiring I'm still recovering From when you kissed my lips Got band-aids on my legs and hips And conflicting emotions I'm hopelessly devoted to not losing you And not being alone too I know you have someone new It doesn't mean anything to you But I'll never love anyone again
8.
Hills 03:09
I know you're tired from weathering The storms and fires for so many years So I'll tend to your blistered skin And when you walk again I'll still be here When you walk again I'll still be here Your gaze upon me like an open casket That I'm sure that I will have too And I'll have no questions to ask When it comes time to bury you You looked at me like I was crazy When I say I can I mean I will And I'm not sorry I cannot stay You had me barreling for the mountains Had me running for the hills Say farewell, my wayward vagabond And I will grieve like unto a child For I'm a drifter chained to fantasy But I'll dream of you all of the while But I'll dream of you all of the while Your gaze upon me like an open casket That I'm sure that I will have too And I'll have no questions to ask When it comes time to bury you You looked at me like I was crazy When I say I can I mean I will And I'm not sorry I cannot stay You had me barreling for the mountains Had me running for the hills Barreling for the hills

So long, love of mine It's high time we part ways You keep your sunshine I'll keep my desert haze It feels I'm on trial And you're the only judge And who'd play defense for A bandit on the run And I grip my skin till I almost lose my vision And I tunnel deeper till I can barely breathe It's hard to love this city when I'm seeing crimson And it never gave a damn about seeing me I've had enough of You saying you love me When your words and my touch Don't mean much of anything I'll fuck the city And fuck the New Orleans It never meant much But nothing meant so much to me And you prey and I scavenge And I pray the game will end And you never once, boy Considered me your friend And I grip my skin till I almost lose my vision And I tunnel deeper till I can barely breathe It's hard to love this city when I'm seeing crimson And it never gave a damn about seeing me You want her so badly I can taste it on you And I don't mind 'cause I've seen it all before It's a shame that losing you is an exorcism When I've never wanted to be taken more I thought about you When I was passing the junction on the interstate And how you bore no surprises I know you'll come around when it's far too late I fled the high desert Lest I be left for dead But I've never been welcome In your California dread In your California dread

Palo Alto 04:19
You passed in Palo Alto, and I missed the final call It's been three years now, and I haven't healed at all I wait for the day, but it hasn't happened yet So I'll grieve for three years more for someone that I never met You long to leave this valley, you say afflictions can't be cured We cry like we're dying, like chicks to a mother bird Oh mother, oh sisters, oh brother I knew in heart I'll dream of you sweetly before my time to depart Please don't leave before me I need you here to stay I don't want to see how strong I can be So please don't leave before me I search for a reason, for a culprit to imprison In time I find it was I who commit the treason A score of crimes for which I cannot be forgiven Please don't leave before me I need you here to stay I don't want to see how strong I can be So please don't leave before me
