LINES

I concentrate everything
But only if you say so
Here is a part of my effort
All to get and keep you around
Look who fell in love
Look who fell in love now
She called back her heart and I let her
Just to run the game show
I can’t see close to forever
Who am I holding her down?
Look who fell in love
Look who fell in love and out
All we talk about are lines
And how I cross them all the time
You could try anything
With caution out the window
Held down by most of your baggage
No one sees, nobody knows
Now that she’s in love
Now that she’s in love, you’re out
All we talk about are lines
And how I cross them all the time
Are we crossing all the lines?

There's You
02:48
|

|
Like a battered, beaten bastard of the blues
When the blessings come I only get confused
In the madness of it all
There’s you
You gathered every splinter in my eye
And made a plank for me to walk off anytime
In the madness of it all
Dancing in the darkest room
Is the angel with retired wings
When the horns come cutting through
I stepped through Heaven’s Gate standing in line
Took a drink to make sure I was there on time
In the madness of it all
Standing in the corner room
Was an angel with retired wings
And a fight that says she’s through
It’s you
It's you

Man on the TV
03:35
|
|||
|
I’m on your TV
Holding a peace in my chest
Singing for answers
Giving away what is left
But nobody’s watching
Nobody sees
The man on the TV
Is stuck in the screen
It happened before us
We never knew what it caused
A killer of instinct
A multiplier of my flaws
But I was so sure of
I was so sure
The answer I needed
Had been there before
I wasn’t looking
I didn’t mean
To find who I needed
Looking for me
It happened before us
We never knew what it caused

Fountain of Youth
04:24
|
|||
|
They’re gonna say to fold yourself in two
Separate good riddance from a real good point of view
But you showed your cards with innocence and a faith in what you believe
She took it and ran
Left you without a speech
She’s like heroin, like a fix that you can’t escape
You can’t handle it, she can give or take away the pain
But she made her home inside your heart
And she courses through your veins
You can’t sweat her out
She’s got you now
With just a taste
You’re drinking fire from a fountain you call youth
Shed a few years when you put a good spin on the room
But you ran away too often now the dragons are chasing you
They’re clawing at your skin
In the middle of the afternoon
It’s like heroin, like a fix that you can’t escape
You can’t handle it, she can give or take away the pain
But she made her home inside your heart
And she courses through your veins
You can’t sweat her out
She’s got you hooked…with just a taste
She’s like heroin, like a rusty old suicide blade
You can’t handle it, she can give or take away the pain
But she made her home inside your heart
And she courses through your veins
You can’t sweat her out
She’s got you now
With just a taste

You talk like you've seen a ghost
And I believe you for the most part
But I think that you should start to slow down
You haven't slept for days
You swear this is not a phase
But that impression stayed
I followed you there
Your insides turned out
I finally learned
What this was about
And on the way home
The crash was so loud
You were the sound
This just goes to show
Of course you already know
As you fight the undertow
I followed you there
Your insides turned out
I finally learned
What this was about
And on the way home
The crash was so loud
You were the sound I loved

Never the Groom
04:14
|

|
Turn around when it’s not over
Give me what I need
Turn around when it’s not over
Give me what I see
Pull me down like you’re my savior
Carry me to peace
I’m not afraid of what you’re saying
Your thoughts are what’s dangerous to me
Oh, the fool drunk on my shoulder
Like an angel without wings
Pay no mind as you get older
And there’s nothing to do
Like a child collects from his father’s voice
You will grow up fast
As he looks to see that he has no choice
His time has come to pass
Oh, the fool drunk on my shoulders
Is the life in every room
There’s a bride in every corner
But he’ll never be the groom

Shadowbox
04:06
|

|
You dressed in secret, a surprise
That met me in the morning time
And I liked it, I won’t lie
But this change of pace is hard on my life
Maybe you’ll save me, it’s unlikely
By the way our talks are going
As of lately
You’re the background in my shadowbox of bullshit
And you’re in it
I came as fervent
But left as rigid
I bite the hand that feeds my mouth
I’m in control, but running out
So, where’s a place hide my sin
The biggest room to lock them in
With my shadowbox of bullshit
And the feeling is not finished
It has a point and needs a witness
And purpose filled with second chances
I think I’m fading
By 29 I won’t be waiting
For karma’s grip to come and take me
And lay me down an empty body
Lay me down

I'm Borrowed, I'm Blue
03:21
|

|
You were finding inspiration
In the parts you covered up
Like a child not worth naming
As the moments start to run
And the feelings come together
Making love inside your head
You’re alone in stormy weather
Under the sheets, in between the threads
You’ve been ripping out your closet
For a look that you could shake
With an open mouth and empty pockets
And a stranger in your place
And the feelings come together
Praying life inside the air
With a ring inside your tether
And a smile beneath your hair
Marry the idea that this is only for the time
The old, the new, the borrowed, the blue
And every piece of you on my mind
Suddenly the feelings go to waste
No one knows what happened or what changed
For you, but you changed
You changed
Now you’re finding inspiration
In all the things that we have done
You hold the indication
That the war has been won
But it’s creeping on you slowly
Like when you wake up in the morning
With the feeling you don’t know me
Like you thought you had before then
So marry the idea that his is only for the time
For the time
