can't sleep 05:28
lyrics
buy track
I can't sleep I'll blame it on all the caffeine So I've no dreams Just endless gloom I crawled through the trees on a moonlit August eve I stumbled into a divebar paralyzed in the mirror So pack up your suitcase Drag it along It won't be long until we're homefree But I'm waitin' on a sign that's further down the lane of memory I can't sleep Can't blame it on the caffeine It's bothering me I can't sleep

my mouth is sewn 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Even if the door's locked shut Even if my mouth is sewn I will fight until I faint There's no time for haste It's just an afterthought I thought they were after me And a line was drawn but then evaporates Where do you get off saying that shit Where do you get off Even if the door's locked shut Even if my mouth is sewn I will fight until I faint There's no time for haste

worthless as dirt 03:56
lyrics
buy track
In a barbed wire chain link parking lot With the left turn signal blinking and engine off He slumped like a dead man who'd been shot Drinking too much thinking that the girl is lost In a gutter bleeding shoelaces tied in knots Red lights shrieking medics look distraught He stumble to a payphone to call the cops Can't fall asleep or his heartbeat will stop But failure's the only outcome when you feel so low subterranean Worthless as dirt

laying low 05:41
lyrics
buy track
I feel mediocre Maybe I'm not in your eyes I try hard, never good enough Always make matters worse Honestly who are my friends 'Cause I can't pretend anymore Our egos collide sometimes when drunk Caught you in a lie, who'da thunk Get what I want she said I'll get what I want instead Don't say it can wait or show up late to invent some new excuse I've gotten used to it Don't say it can't last Met a girl who strikes a match No questions asked The way I want it to be Right here alone Although my tensions grow Can't keep laying low At some point I gotta go But you're so gone Just like before You're so gone And I can't help you anymore

an empty moment 05:03
lyrics
buy track
Instantly grab what's free Forget small print to read Sign the dotted line Then wait for ink to dry It's something you lamented I heard you mention You can pick apart my brain from your blue light space plane An empty moment I had to show it off I see your blue shimmering I feel your mouth quivering Had to bite it Couldn't fight it off Bring all you've got I'm around the bend with a bottle of gin to your blind spot It's complicated Oh it's not that hard to figure out I know what I saw You know who you are Don't expect to break through your locked vault But it took off with such ease I'm screaming it's not my fault It's not my fault I'm sure you've been told I'm sure you've heard I'm sure you know every word and all there is to hear All there is to hear Instantly grab what's free Forget small print to read Sign the dotted line Then wait for ink to dry It's something you lamented But you meant it

next year 04:58
lyrics
buy track
The time has come to put things aside I've thought it through again and again It's in you I confide Next year I'm moving on I've waited much too I realize there'll be a consequence from pursuing dreams again and again of lavish decadence Next year I'm moving on I've waited much too long Next year I'm moving on I've waited much too And I don't wanna think about that day 'Cause I'm afraid of what I might be missing while I'm away Just let me know if I've made the right decision in moving on from this awkward disposition I'm moving on

someway someday 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Someway I'm gonna get out of this mess I'm in Someday gonna laugh out loud at all of this But I don't know how life goes on without you Somehow you're right here but so far away This time I can't accept the hurtful things we said But I know what goes around comes around then dissipates Sometime not long after we parted ways Saw your face frozen in time but memories tend to fade I felt lost & forgot we were afraid Someplace a trace of happiness A cold cave I fell into a complacent numbing pain But I'll find a new way to live
8.
take my hand 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Take my hand Make me a better man Break my heart Make me fall apart so I can breathe again Oh it's cold as hell and I can tell that you're into me Just one more day and I'll feel okay, I swear Stay just a little while You got what it takes to make this boy smile It might as well be Spring 'Cause we talk and delve into the slightest things Oh to be loved It's a drug and it's fleeting I want you so bad it's a tad overwhelming
9.
hitting the ground 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Some say they're done when they hit the ground Well that's no fun, I'm not done They got the answers for a secret unknown Why spoil their fun I'm not done I travel worldwide in my mind and don't dwell on regrets When we were walking I said I missed that sound I missed the reasons you lied I backed down What's the meaning I found I was shocked from a statement made last night You said you missed my conversation So pour another drink Let's shoot the breeze Forget this life But leave you I just might Some say they're done They've turned aside and guess what they've won Is 9 to 5 really why you're alive You've already died A neighbor is asking around Feels deceived you're leaving You packed up and skipped town Just say you're sorry and you can run I'm not done
10.
parallel minds 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Take a picture of me 'Cause I'm lost for words I just can't speak I'm learning to relax around you But can't help to ask What more can I do So calm me down Help me fall asleep But in a wedding gown is where you wanna be This pushed me away It was difficult to say in the middle I'll cook you breakfast I'll wake up early and brew you tea Just say you're not ready I want so bad to make you happy I guess we're just not aligned But the parallels of our minds say otherwise Say otherwise
11.
having trouble 12:30
lyrics
buy track
Just take the change from my pocket when you decide to leave me I'll corner the market and wallow in this half-dream waiting to see That it's all my fault but you don't know why I can't blame you for anything You can say what you want I'm not listening anyhow How can it be this way Don't say it behind my face 'cause I can hear you Though I'm going deaf and I'm half blind I feel alright yeah just alright for now But it's stupid games that we play So long, bye bye so long You say you're gonna send your son out halfway around the world with no connections or correlation to the motives of the mission You say you're gonna bring your daughter home Tired of waitin' and being alone But the other side is falling and they'll be crawling into holes unless everyone gets involved Everyone get involved I'm having trouble I'm having trouble I'm having trouble I'm having trouble I'm having trouble and it's taking its toll with just a slight haze that makes me miserable There's kids downstairs beware they're so fragile You can't inflict harm 'cause it's residual but I'm already there I am aware You get one more chance before I gotta get something off this chest I buried my ghosts in the garden 'cause I'd like to see what happens But nobody knows, no nobody cares that you're already there with a whip crack backlash counter-attack I'm having trouble I'm having trouble I'm having trouble I'm having trouble
