You don’t know me now at all
And I don’t know you from the writing on the wall
But after all this fall I see
It was never about ideals of social codes to be
Beneath your hardened heart and soul
There’s a child that I know
It was a long time ago
Pages and pages still the future’s more
Hey this is not forever
Hey this is not the reason for your life
There will be other summers
And you will be with your brothers
Hey this is not forever
Did you get the last line that I sent
Futile attempts at conversations, things I meant
One-way letters, it’s all rough
Do you ever wake up and the world is not enough?
Beneath your hardened heart and soul
There’s a child I still know
It was a long time ago
Pages and pages still the future’s more
Hey this is not forever
Hey this is not the reason for your life
There will be other summers
And you will be with your brothers
Hey this is not forever
You wait alone
Ten months to go
Where you’re going to
You’re coming from
You were the one her one
You were her pride and joy
But you were living large not to feel so small
And all you wanted was someone to care
Hey this is not forever
Hey this is not the reason for your life
There will be other summers
And you will be with your brothers
Hey this is not forever

Still Worth Fighting For

If all we’ve built and all we’ve felt, a cruel illusion
One sacred place we laid our love, we’d soon be losing
You leave me breathless, helplessly I fuel your fire
But when we find ourselves we lift each other higher
Why don’t you stay, we’ve still more to say
We can build this any way we want to
If you feel like I, we still belong
All I’ve ever known for sure, this is love worth fighting for
If you feel like I, we still belong
For all the love we’ve given life, for all the laughter
For all we’ve fought and what we’ve won, forever tethered
Through every passing year I’m fallen even harder
But as I give you all of me, you ever ponder
Why don’t you stay, we’ve still more to say
We can build this any way we want to
Yes I know, I know we still belong
All I’ve ever known for sure, this is love worth fighting for
Yes I know, I know we still belong
Why don’t you stay, we’ve still more to say
We can build this any way we want to
Yes I know, I know we still belong
All I’ve ever known for sure, we are still worth fighting for
Yes I know, we know we still belong, we belong

Infectious Air

And when I met you, was searching for a way
Couldn’t find myself, couldn’t find my means to see
And now I feel it, but sometimes you make me sick
You’re his rolling stone, you’re a pedal tone to me
And now it beautiful, but so much is so unclear
All the circumstance, the things that brought us here
Now everything’s what you said
You don’t call you don’t care
Around your infectious air
And when I found you, the troops were all in place
Like a movie scene, you’re just like a dream to me
And now it’s beautiful, potentials run so deep
Situations impossible to keep
Now everything’s what you said
You don’t call do you care?
Around your infectious air
These twelve tones make you cry
I see them in your eyes
Your life is surely passing by
As you lie
Now everything’s what you said
You don’t call you don’t care
Around your infectious air
Around your infectious air

God knows I tried my best
But I can’t find the line
It’s time to face it the reality is
I guess I just take too much time
So if you know that this is how it will end please spare me
Every morning when I wake up
I feel tired you know I’m so worn out
I used to think that I could take on the world
But lately I’ve been starting to doubt
So if you know that this is how it will end please spare me
Goodbye to the glory days it was a good run through
Yeah so long watch the sun go down I need something new
It’s alright I will remember the fight you know that I’ll miss you
But it’s better to see than to wish you could be someone else
In and out of a break up
This time I think we really might be done
Your plane rides and your ocean tides
I never thought that this day would come
I never thought that this is how it would end and it scares me
Now that it’s all over
It’s all gone, run down and done
I can’t believe it’s really over
Feel like I’ve hardly even just begun
Goodbye to the glory days it was a good run through
Yeah so long watch the sun go down I need something new
It’s alright I won’t forget the fight you know that I’ll miss you
But it’s better to see than to wish you could be someone else
Goodbye to the glory days it was a good run through
Yeah so long watch the sun go down I need something new
It’s alright I won’t forget the fight you know that I’ll miss you
But it’s better to see than to wish you could be someone else

War Paint

I’d prayed to god I’d seen the end of this
But the turn was mine, a debt to pay
I watched the bond we built go up in flames
Vibrant colors fade to gray
Cause I couldn’t be the one you’d wait for me to be for you
An honest truth, a choice so vain
How much I wish that I could show you
I’ve lived your pain
And I miss you all the time
I miss you in my life
But I know you could not stay
We could not find a way
No direction, just save face
We died alone, you cried the war paint from your face
Helplessly, I watched you shake
You told me that you couldn’t go on this way
So much tension had to break
And I’m so sorry for the hate so deep inside of you
You’ll never live free, free of shame
What’s worse, I know that I can’t save you
Or fix your brain
And I miss you all the time
I miss you in my life
But I know you could not stay
We could not find a way
No direction, just save face
And I feel so damn alone
This story’s all but etched in stone
Forever in that night
Lost within this life

Tell me your feelings
Sorry for being deep again
Answer my questions with meaningful answers
Tell me your sadness has gone away
And when I see you, is when I believe you
You’re in my life
But when you leave me, is when you deceive me
Time brings us back, but it’s just not the same
It’s all gone now
It’s all gone somehow
It’s all gone now
It’s all gone somehow
Slow it down and feel the earth again
Slow it down and feel at peace within
There’s something I’m seeing, a sense of believing
That I’m through grieving but then I awake
And it’s back to life
First they told me, and then they showed me but they’re wrong again
It’s all gone now
It’s all gone somehow
It’s all gone now
It’s all gone somehow

Daisies, tulips and roses
How’s it really inside
Only through her I knew you
She said you never cried
And you would say you could beat it
With your strength and his love
But it tears you in spite of your will still to fight
For the air that you breath, to be here one more one more night
And your time has run out, the show is over
And in your final hour, can you feel the power of your savior?
And in your life, did you find what you were looking for?
And in your final hour, can you feel the power of your savior?
And I’m the depths of my memory
Years before you would fall
You used to drink till’ the sun came up
But now it’s last call
And you were strong in September
But they can see it now in your eyes
Do you remember the day that they locked him away?
Now he’s gone, just a song, all alone and you pay
Well your time has run out, the show is over
And in your final hour, can you feel the power of your savior?
And in your life, did you find what you were looking for?
And in your final hour, can you feel the power of your savior?
Where are you go, I don’t know
But I know that what waits for you
Endless love and forgiveness
Peace at long last, your soul
And now nothing remains to resist
It’s time to let go
Float away to your kingdom
Journey on
Cause’ your time has run out, the show is over
And in your final hour, can you feel the power of your savior?
And in your life, did you find what you were looking for?
And in your final hour, can you feel the power of your savior?

How you blame me, I just can’t see, you told me not to fall for you
In two more weeks, we’re done forever, you and me
But I can see it now, in your eyes and in your smile
You said that you’d be leaving, I really don’t believe you
Just write me off before you fall in love
Don’t let your conscience do you wrong
I know the place and time, and it wasn’t what you had in mind
And I don’t need you, whoa, and you don’t need me, still I wish you’d see that I
I’ve been lying to get by, this isn’t really who I am, no
You could be the remedy, I could be sane
Had I known from the first night
I wouldn’t have left you all alone
With two weeks past of “could this last?” another day I’m drawn to you
Enough to say, before forever, we will see
‘Cause after years in fear of false starts and worn out hearts
Well you’re giving me that feeling again, I think I might be healing
Go chase the moon, the stars, your heart’s desire
I hope your dreams will all come true
I’ve heard your alibi, and I don’t believe that it’s a lie
No I don’t’ blame you, whoa, and you don’t blame me, still I wish you’d see that I
I’ve been lying to get by, this isn’t really who I am, no
You could be the remedy, I could be sane, if you want to
Had I known from the first night
I wouldn’t have left you all alone
I won’t pretend to know the demons of your past
But the reasons you create, they’ll just keep you from believing
Just write me off before you fall in love
Don’t let your conscience do you wrong
I know the place and time, and it wasn’t what you had in mind
And I don’t need you, whoa, and you don’t need me, still I wish you’d see that I
I’ve been lying to get by, this isn’t really who I am, no
You could be the remedy, I could be sane, if you want to
Had I known from the first night
I wouldn’t have left you all alone
All alone

There comes a time in all our lives to make a choice
Play it safe, a life of faith, or dare embrace the void
I took a chance and played
Got lost within my brain
And now I can’t go back to change my mind
But I’ve seen you
Yes I’ve been here before
It’s just another dark day in a place I’ll stay alone
Don’t worry bout’ me
Feelings come and feelings go
Right? You told me so
I’ll let you reign, I’ll let you reign over this golden house
And when you came, and when you came, I wanted to rip you out
But I don’t know how
So I went on my way to find who I’d become
Inconclusive albatross reaching for the sun
I’d hoped that they’d not know
But I spoke the truth will show
And now I can’t go back to change my mind
Yes I’ve seen you
Yes I’ve been here before
It’s just another dull day in this place I’ll stay alone
Chasing the years
Wondering, “will it ever feel right?”
Or should I just give up this fight
I’ll let you rain, I’ll let you rain on top of this golden house
And when you came, and when you came, I wanted to rip you out
But I don’t know how

In a lifetime long ago
There you were my saving grace
Ready to burn down this place
Drafting plans and laying frames
This could only be the best
Dropping names to pass the test
Can ya’ hear them, do ya’ see them
Calling out your name?
It only lasts so long, this is a new game
Take em’ over, run em’ into the ground
I’ll be lost to you, but don’t you know I found
A place in the sun, free in a new way
But I would die before I gave you what you wanted
Before I handed you my soul
And in time, you’ll get what you’re asking for
Can’t you hear them calling out your name?
It came upon me in a dream
Milo was a shade of blue
But this time there’s no sign of you
You told me someday I would thank you
I never thought it’d go so fast
Thank you now, I’m free at last
Can ya’ hear them, do ya’ see them
Calling out your name?
It only lasts so long, this is a new game
Take em’ over, run em’ into the ground
I’ll be lost to you, but don’t you know I found
A place in the sun, free in a new way
But I would die before I gave you what you wanted
Before I handed you my soul
And in time, you’ll get what you’re asking for
Can’t you hear them calling out your name?
You smell like trash out in the rain
For all you put me through, today I’m not the same
I see right through your mask, your game
Worn out shoes, your car’s been used
I’m not a fool
But I would die before I gave you what you wanted
Before I handed you my soul
And in time, you’ll get what you’re asking for
Can’t you hear them calling out your name?
Can’t you hear them calling out your name?
Can’t you hear them calling out your name?
Can’t you hear them calling out your name? (Your name, your name, your name, your name?)
Can’t you hear them calling out your name?
