Smoke

All your words
Turn to smoke
I don’t miss the way I used to feel
I don’t miss the way I used to choke
The call came down
From behind my lungs
Either way I knew we were
Over before we’d begun
I’ll be fine and you won’t change
I remember as I cross out your name
That I may haunt you
But you are the ghost
As everything we were
Goes up in smoke
Let me go
Or take it back
Every word you ever wrote
Slips through the cracks
It wasn’t you
It wasn’t me
Clouding visibility
I run my hand through the air
It’s like you were never there
I’m alright and you don’t change
I remembered as I crossed out your name
I may haunt you
But you were the ghost
Now everything we were
Has gone up in smoke
Everything we were
Everything we were
Everything we were
Yeah I’ll be fine
And you won’t change
I remembered as I crossed out your name
I may haunt you
But you are the ghost
Everything we were
Everything we were
Was all just smoke

Failure to Launch

I need somewhere to go
Someone to talk to
It's game over
Never thought that you could die from exposure
It's gonna take a little while to leave the house
Every time I don't believe the sound of the end
The sound of you fading out
Can I get a little closure
The static just won't turn down
Say it isn't over
It's gonna take a little time to see this out
If anything means anything
Don't tell me that it's alright
I just want to watch it
Watch burn
Ashes on my hands every night
Trading off and taking, taking
Taking turns
Don't tell me that it's alright
I just want to watch it, watch it burn
Trading off and taking, taking
Taking
I need somewhere to go
Someone to talk to
It's game over
Never thought that you would die from exposure
It's gonna take a little while to see this one out
If anything means anything
Don't tell me that it's alright
I just want to watch it
Watch burn
Ashes on my hands every night
Trading off and taking, taking
Taking turns
Don't tell me that it's alright
I just want to watch it
Watch burn
Ashes on my hands every night
Trading off and taking, taking
Taking

Look At Me, I'm Fine
03:10

It feels like the end of the world
There are no heroes left
They're all in jail for telling girls
You could be the one who's next
I don't want to wake up on the side of the road
For not doing what I'm told anymore
I don't want to check out when it seems like too much
And besides you won't budge for anyone
It is a state of emergency
They're trying to build a wall
They're trying to take everything you've got
Until you've got nothing at all
I don't want to wake up on the side of the road
For not doing what I'm told anymore
I don't want to check out when it seems like too much
And besides you won't budge for anyone
Ok, alright
I'm over it
It was a false alarm
I take it back
Somebody dismantle this
Fall back
Disarm
Fall back
Disarm
It feels like the end of the world
There are no heroes left
They're all in jail for telling girls
You could be the one who's next
I don't want to wake up on the side of the road
But I'm not doing what I'm told anymore
I don't want to check out when it seems like too much
And besides you won't budge for anyone
Ok, alright
I'm over it
It was a false alarm
I take it back
Somebody dismantle this
Fall back
Disarm
Fall back
Disarm
It feels like the end of the world

No One Will Notice
03:56
|
|||
Here I am again
In my life without you
I look up at the stars
Cause that is what you'd do
If you were here right now
And I were beside you
I knew you'd let me down
But I could not forget you
I moved some things around
It still looks empty
Everyone in this town
Has known since they met me
If I would have known better
If I could just stay the same
If you could forget her
If I never knew your name
And I'll never know why
It was always the wrong time
It was always another day
Until you could walk away
And now you want me to stay
I wrote the reasons down
It didn't add up
I made some calls around
Your friends called it bad luck
And they said it wasn't like you
But still they could not believe
And now no one will notice
That you never loved me
And I'll never know why
It was always the wrong time
It was always another day
Until you could walk away
And now I'm supposed to stay

Call It Off
04:15
|
|||
I have been looking all my life for you
Say you're going to stay but you never do
And I wait all day for the phone to ring
Come on tell me something
Tell me anything
Go on call it off because I just can't take
Waking up alone with all my mistakes
I search for you everywhere I go
I'm coming apart more than you can know
Tell me that it's over now
And you're coming home
If you can't find a way to get out
Then I'll leave it alone
But I can feel you when you I go to sleep
And I can see you lying next to me
And I don't know if I can believe
You say you're going to call it off
For me
I used to think I couldn't understand
Falling for someone else's man
But now I know better
Yeah, what do I know
Cause I can't have you and I can't let you go
Tell me that it's over now
And you're coming home
Either that or let me down
and just leave it alone
I don't want to hear about
How it used to be
Or why you can't hurt her
So you just hurt me
But I still feel you when you I go to sleep
And I can see you lying next to me
And I don't know if I can believe
But you say you're going to call it off
Say you're going to call it off
Say you're going to call it off
For me

The Awful Truth
03:18
|
|||
I think you just like to see what you can get away with
It got away from me
Can you tell me why man deceives
And is it even on you
If I wanted to believe
I just want to know why I even wait up when I should really go
Is it that I never learned to be alone
Or is it that the damage starts to feel like home
And so I hid myself away
From everybody
Everything
You all turn out the same now don't you, boy
You know, the awful truth may be
I didn't like you more than me
Right now right by my side
I've got all I need
I seem to forget I was doing just fine back before we met
Is it any wonder I got nothing left
When every time I wake up
I've already given you my best
And so I hid myself away
From everybody
Everything
Don't you all turn out the same now don't you, boy
You know the awful truth may be
I didn't like you more than me
And right now right by my side
I've got all I need

Ghosties
03:38
|
|||
When I look in the mirror, I still see
The same old little kid I used to be
The monsters in the halls, ghosts in the trees
They can hear me
And everything I know just goes away
There's nothing I can do or that I can say
If I never really mattered much to you anyway
But if I don't hear them, then nobody will
And they haunt me through the walls and through the windowsills
And when nobody calls, they try to send me a bill
For the standstill
If anyone can hear me, I'm doing fine
Just trying to navigate this heart of mine
The problem with the looking, is you might find
Some kind of landmine
And every time I try, try to explain
It aways seems to turn, turn out the same
What do I gotta tell you
If it's in my brain, what does that change?
But if I don't hear them, then nobody will
And they haunt me through the walls and through the windowsills
And when somebody calls, they try to send me a bill
For the standstill
But if I don't hear them, nobody will
When I look in the mirror, I still see
The same old little kid I used to be
The monsters in the halls, ghosts in the trees
They can hear me
And everything I want just goes away
There's nothing I can do or that I can say
If I never really mattered much to you anyway
But if I don't hear them, then nobody will
And they haunt me through the walls and through the windowsills
And when somebody calls, they try to send me a bill
For the standstill
But if I don't hear them
Nobody will
Yeah if I don't hear them
Nobody will

Dogs
02:31
|

All of these dogs
In the country
They're either roaming around or on chains
I just want to hold on to when I met you
It's all that I can do to stop from screaming out your name
To an old bunch of stars and the long lost call of a train
I had a stare-down with a rooster on a back county road
It's like he wanted to square off
Without you it feels crazy laughing about it for days after the fact
If I told you I would know by the look on your face it really is that funny
And you'd be laughing at it for days
But I just drove to the city
Cause the noise gives me something to do
If we were soldiers in a battle
I would go back for you and you'd act like you were shell shocked, didn't make it and had no recollection of anything that had happened
Is it cause you can't stand the look on my face when I've come unfastened
And it's just way easier to erase everything that you told me
And the fact that I even exist

A Woman on the Brink
04:13
|
|||
I don't want to wait up anymore
For the weight of this to change
Looking at the edge I have come to know
It's just one more step away
You could call the cops but the cops won't come
They were here the other day
They kicked the door down
"She might not make it"
Is all I could here them say
And now I'm halfway between the living and the dead
Can I take back the words that you said
Cause it's all around me now
This time
I can't get out
You are never tied to anything
Nor as trapped as one might think
Looking back now it was by design
By a woman on the brink
Who was halfway between the living and the dead
Can I take back the words that I said
Too scared to even go outside
It's okay I think I've lived enough life
And it's all around me now
This time
I can't get out
And it's all around me now
This time
This time
This time

So Long, It's Been Fun
03:45
|
|||
I always knew I'd disappear
And build myself a quiet life
Write my name out in the clear
And not in the sky in lights
I don't know how I knew
That with me out of the spotlight
There'd be more room for you
We don't always take the right road
It's just a path you choose
If you can't find your own way back home
It doesn't mean you win or loose
I might not always say the right thing
I might not always be the one
But I wanted you to know I don't regret a thing
So long, it's been fun
I always knew I'd disappear
And build myself a quiet life
Write my name out in the clear
And not in the sky in lights
