Save me
I can’t be satisfied lately
Patience is hard to find
Well how can I be strong when you say that
“It’s harder than I thought to go on?”
So we stand by
Watching time like a slow fight
Bruising our better sides
The damage slowly forms
Like ashes of the houses in the town you were born
Watch you from a distance always waiting for a sign
Bury me underground with your ghost of better times
Read me my thoughts
Tell me I’m wrong
Show me I can be strong
Or bury me underground with your ghost of better times
Well I spoke of everything that burns
And I choke on every single word
With self pity and whiskey breath
I take a drive in silence to forget who I am
Everything is different in the real world
Wrenching my bones ‘til they’re weak
Everything is different in the real world
When you aren’t here with me

Busy Hands

Compromise, call it what you make it
Feeding lies and counting calories out
Tell me what you’ve been feeling
Do you ache for that feeling?
Here we are, all checked out
She can’t stop repeating
A love lost now, but one day we’ll be crawling out
I hear the echoes all drowned out
My busy hands are never slowing now
All checked out, nothing ever turns around
Tensions rise, the nights are turning colder
I can feel our bodies growing older
And I know that you need healing
But I long for that feeling
And now all we are is a cold war
A wall for tearing down
We couldn’t sleep any closer
It feels like miles out
The evidence is a secret
Your body’s in the ground and I can’t dig it out

Thief

My mind has capsized
Nothing to keep me afloat when the tides rise
Revive a past life
Am I enough to be by your bedside?
I need affirmation
Your eyes aglow with your lips curved just right
What makes you wanting more?
I know I stretch the truth
My life is not enough
And I feel the undertow
Everyone I know keeps one foot out the door
Two sides of one dime
Make an excuse just to stay in all night
But I swear I try
Too young to lie down and too old to fight
Paralyzed in sorrow
Now I know I can never amount to my heroes
I spent what's left of me
Have I become the thief?

Pause
Turn back the clocks ‘til they’re broken
‘Til “x” marks the spot
You were frozen way past the last time we’d spoken
When you tried to hide what you are
You tried to hide who you are
You tried to hide
(Bury your head)
Say you’re moving on
The familiar faces sobered in their placement
Holding on
We’ll watch you float to peace
Above the clouds you are free
Think of better days
When holding hands felt so euphoric
And each paper cut catastrophic
We made our plans and went all in
But saw them all fade
Now I’ll never forget the words that your father said, cutting deeply
My heart dropped when I saw his face
And I saw it all on his face
I saw it all
(Bury your head)
Don’t speak at all
We can’t let this define you
Lift up your head and go on

Broken

If time could be undone, I’d tell of season one
Returning from the capital to seal our love
Lonely hands to hold, a story finally told
I can’t take another summer alone when we’re drifting
Like ships with their anchors up
Are we passion everlasting?
All you wanted fades in silence
It’s not broken
You don’t notice when all eyes are glued onto you
If I were in your shoes, I’d be on season two
Second floor apartment, Atlantic view
Breaking these state lines and never wondering why
We go separate ways every weekend
Night was my time to let cares go when I was young
Pushing farther, where’s your honor?
That September was a neverender
If it was up to me I would see season three
Sitting on the front porch in harmony
Thinking about the days if things had gone my way
Meaningless who’s selfish or who’s to blame
Cuz you built this love

This town is older now, the years wrinkle beneath it
The city lights have all burned out, this home is turning cold
I took the scenic route to end up where I started
Don’t wanna try to work this out, don’t wanna try to speak
I lock myself in on the weekends
Can’t seem to shake these inner demons
Neck deep in all my inhibitions
Cuz everything’s the same, nothing ever changes
You self-prescribe the pain, I’ve seen you play the victim
So far from who you want to be, still waiting for relief
I believe growing up is hardest when you don’t know just where to start
It’s easier to stay (to stay in park)
Do you lose hope when you are dreaming?
And keep tabs on your dirty secrets?
Collapse your lungs ‘til you’re not breathing
Cuz everything’s the same, nothing ever changes
And these days feel hollowed out when there’s no one left beside you
Holding your hand now
Time runs out
All alone, you’re an apathetic shell
No one knows cuz you hide beneath yourself
Does it hurt when you move but gain no ground?
And see the colors fading out?
Do you want to hold that weight?
Do you want to be afraid?
