I have a quiet mouth
and my time's running out
They're like
Whispers in your house
but in my head
they're screaming out
They're Stained panes
and memories
that seem to
act out on me
They're small shoulder
breathed into life
they're past lovers
with Rusty Knives
Your ominous
presence is
all that I see
time and time again
they're definitions hidden
in their proofs
they're the hows
whys and whos
who
They're Stained panes
and memories
that seem to
act out on me
They're small shoulder
breathed into life
they're past lovers
with Rusty Knives
You're the very last of anything
I'd ever want to see
you're the crippling imperfection
to terrorize me
you're the shiver that stabs
up and down my spine
that I'm always running from
but am somehow behind
yeah they're
stained panes
memories
seem to act
out on me
they're lovers
with Rusty Knives

Quick & Sleek

High Sailing and I can't see
these propositions around me
eating away and waiting
i'll be
wrapped in a stormy veil
disguised
I'll continues to fail
but out of sight so I don't worry
I still don't know what will become of me
My place is out of match
disappointed at every catch
my growing greed will be
greeted with endless searching but
never finding what I need
yeah I guess I'll never be happy
But atleast i'll be distracted
and keep my thoughts redacted
and emotions staged
just like the shows
just like the shows
I play
on my free days
But even with these teeth
My lungs can never sleep
But even with these teeth
My lungs can never sleep
The words go on and on
You latch on to catchy songs
So you can distract yourself
from what is already gone
Quick and Sleek
you'll admit defeat
Quick and Sleek
Dreams are gone
Quick and Sleek
You'll admit defeat
Go to your
Vacation
You're leaving for vacation
You're leaving for vacation
You're on Vacation
On Vacation

Everybody Lies

*Alright let's just do a clean run*
Is it to soon to say we're friends
After all that has happened
I know that these walls are hard to bend
But please for me pretend again
I don't need any food to eat
Just keep lying next to me
I don't even care if you're listening
Honestly I just need some time with me
I know you're not looking for a friend
So please stay with me this weekend
I know you're not looking for a friend
So please stay with me this weekend
What's that
You've found
Yourself again
This time in another man
So i'll sit right here and wait my time
After all everybody lies
I know you're not looking for a friend
So please stay with me this evening
I know you're not looking for a friend
So please stay with me this weekend

I'll take the high road
if you please
and I'll take the fall slow
and collect your teeth
And I don't appreciate
The things that are given to me
But just because I forget
Doesn't mean what you think it means
I've been telling people about you
ever since you walked out that door
I've been rooting at the way you dedicate time
to the things you adore
I wish that the time spent wasn't as a wimp
I wish that I was stronger
But I'll never be able to go back and see the change
in the long-term
I wish I could see the way that the days have passed
But I know that I'll never be able to go back
so much of the time I'm worried about what I'll say
I want to be taken seriously but not be
at the core of my search I just look for my own worth
I know I'm understand-ed knowing my own hurt
If God could reach out and pat me on the back
My self conscious side would just see it as a pitied laugh
When I turn to a light, or drink, or food, or body
I know even in meaningful relationships I won't be found happy
It's really dis-concerning to my addictive personality
It's like the whole world has swallowed me
and I've become a cavity
In these three months I should be
a Vacation Boi
but when I'm not preoccupied it just feels like I'm a broken toy
the battery's have run dry
the Audio Box sounds demented
I'm carrying the weight of the world
even though you don't know what my name is
My desperation and thirst
for something that is worth
my time, continues to bleed me dry
so Grant me, grant me
grant me independence
so I can feel some joy
your nervous young man
stopped being a boy
Maybe I should just quit
Give up, wring my hat
but I can't

Pitfalls & Potholes
04:52

Go ahead and try me
The button is on the Back
The Audio Box is all I've got
and the volume still lacks
There are more lights than eyes
that can see them
So these Pitfalls and people
act as cement
grounding my dreams
to dust and dirt
there must be a way out
I must find worth
These stark stained walls
block out my light of day
which leads to resting even though
I still have so much more on my plate
Well resting and relaxing aren't the same thing exactly
because after resting I'm still out of breath
But I've got a six string and a combination lock
that I got to pick If I want to mean anything at all
to me
to me
to me
to me
People try to tear you down
People try to shake your ground
But these pitfalls and people
These potholes and reasons
are all that's driving me
are all that's driving me
are all that's driving me
are all that's driving me
are all that's driving me
Driving me
