there's a fucking danger of fear just wrecking my insides and what a fucking failure if I can't crush it in time I'm hoping maybe.. there's an ounce of what you have... inside of me this pen used to move much faster when I knew the words would never leave this room and I don't know I ever wanted them to I tell myself that you're skirting disaster excuses with tight grips around my throat but I just said no. let it go. then pray the words follow to let you know that it's your courage I borrow when I feel like running I wanna "live deep and suck the marrow out of life" but I don't ever try.. would it be alright if I wait? is it alright that I'm afraid? would it be alright if I wait? no. let it go. then pray the words follow to let you know that it's your courage I borrow when i feel like running I aim my eyes straight down keep my thoughts on nothing but the sound just keep singin.. my heart will not slow down but I'm not sure I want it to right now keep singin.. there's no time left to wait on things that haven't happened yet I'm hoping maybe... there's an ounce of what you have.. inside of me

On A Tear 02:38
all at once it all came rushing out it's never felt this heavy but it's crushing now it wont be long before you give yourself up it don't feel right but it was just my luck yeah, I'm down I'm down to try again somewhere I'm just not like you and you guess that's fair enough why hold onto love when you can spread it out? but what good is wasting that love anyhow on old friends that never come around and they're not coming they don't wanna wake up it don't feel right but it was just my luck yeah, I'm down but we all gotta start somewhere I'm just not like you and I think that's fair yeah, there was no time but you're still begging for more anything to make you feel whole you're digging holes I'm bleeding water from stones anything to make me feel whole
3.
Let's Sing 02:09
It's all quiet now I left a note that said I wont be home at least not for a long while and it's funny how they're all taking shots well sometimes they sink in and it feels like I am not meant.. to do great things but I'm trying so let's sing make it louder now and everything might finally seem right it feels like it's for the first time and I don't care how.. we get over the humps 'cause I'm by your side 'though we may never learn how.. to do great things but I'm trying so let's sing.. anything if it doesn't hurt it must be wrong we fell for that a few times and I think we've had enough
4.
Rare Things 03:00
so you said you've been hangin on by a thread.. you're dangling well I guess I should say so long to a friend but you held my heart it's the little things that set us apart it's a rare thing that we stumbled on so I hope you're right I hope you're better off but don't be blind or hide from life 'cause we both know the end was never in sight
5.
I never thought of out with the old but every familiar face tried to escape from memories.. somehow they stole.. right out of my head I gave it a real try sometimes and sometimes I remember why you don't wanna give it another go for another goodbye but I guess it'll be alright if we just let it yeah, I guess it'll be alright if we only let it it's like my fuck-ups come in waves and they're draggin you out it's not like we can't be saved but we don't move fast or slow we just don't move at all if we're hellbent on letting go then why's it so fucking hard to? I'm pounding on strings fingers crippled by cold can't find a familiar chord to keep them warm it's a long long way to the end and it's all in my hands I gave it a real try sometimes and sometimes I remember why you don't wanna give it another go for another goodbye but i guess it'll be alright if we just let it yeah, i guess it'll be alright if we only let it
6.
don't stay down I still love you even if I'm not around you can find your own way yeah, you said it yourself you're not lookin for something better just something else now we talk about songs that we used to sing together it just took too long for us to stay like that forever you gotta get away so soon i pretend you said "I'll always come back for you" oh friend, I'm so sorry you can't stay imagine what we coulda made if we would just follow through it feels like I've been left alone but there's no crying now I just want you all beside me somehow yeah, I'm ok I'm better all the time and there's a big fucking light shining on us tonight yeah, I know we both wanna keep our cool and I'm trying but fuck it. I miss you. oh friend, I'm so sorry you can't stay imagine what we coulda made if we would just follow through it feels like I've been left alone but there's no crying now I just want you all beside me somehow what did it take to finally get away or were the years just counting down we're just taking stock of who is still around and you might be the only one I miss so I lie awake growing older is hard to stomach now but I still find new ways to let everyone down so if we're starting off right where we left off I'm afraid that you might see I haven't really changed

Easy Fix 03:50
I just wanna break ground on a new cemetery plot fill a six foot hole with shit i haven't got and I'll mourn the death of wanting all these things that I don't need just one step towards free they left it in our hands like we didn't know how to grab the nail and smash it in yeah, compromises pile up and they scream and kick and fuss but that does not mean shit to us i'll take you by the hand.. and we could fly far away.. to wherever the wind blows 'cause I've been up all night just thinkin.. maybe crazy.. but who knows could be one big fucking failure but let's go! I don't wanna play this game where I'm connecting all the dots to try and find my place with the haves or the have-nots I just need to find a way to make use of this love that's in my gut sometimes I can go fucking mad 'cause I didn't know the easy fix of just not being sad I'm obsessing over things they're out of my control it gets so fucking old i'll take you by the hand.. and we could fly far away.. to wherever the wind blows 'cause I've been up all night just thinkin.. maybe crazy.. but who knows could be one big fucking failure but let's go!
8.
I think it's time for you to go home again where you wont be cryin' no more till a reminder of your place on earth flies through your fucking skull and we all keep singing "no more" send you off into the unknown find yourself some kind of peace that you have never known they're not gonna mourn for you it's hard to watch they all close their eyes until its safe
9.
Unending 03:48
you said it's all gonna change on this day you scratched the date into the wall we tossed the bed from the room and sat down on the floor I never really thought to ask why 'cause with you it all made sense to me and I wish sometimes I was more like you I'm never comfortable with letting go we just sat all night and had a little fight about the politics of Reagan Youth man, you took a lot of shit when we were in school but all these mother fuckers.. they could never touch you and the words they said never really added up to anything and i wouldn't bet any of us really knew your suffering but we did not lie when we said we'll be together because I can't do this on my own what if i would have said please stay or is another moment just too long one final chance to protect you myself like when you taught me that its ok if I feel like breaking down but what's it take to make you come around and the words they said never really added up to anything and I wouldn't bet any of us really knew your suffering but we did not lie when we said we did not lie when we said we'll be together fear eats the soul and it swallowed.. swallowed me whole things got confusing and I thought i was losing the both of you but that night you promised me that this was unending and no one believed it but it was all that we needed to be fine ..and we'll be together
10.
no, you were never alone never wanted this to follow you home but on the way down.. stepped straight into the fire and you aint ever comin' out sow these seeds till they grow and you'll find love without us yeah, you've found a whole new kind of desire that we aint ever figured out just know that you are never alone leave me here and know just where to find me I'm sending love through sound exploding in wires and the words have been shackled but you know.. that we've said all that we have to
