Sweet Changes 04:19

Nails rip into my throat As I scream out the window Trying to stay afloat These past months were hard I know Your eyes change like the weather And so does your mind though You pick when you wanna fight Take a bite of the apple that’s poison can’t let go There’s just one side of you, can’t seem to live Addicting violent nature I just can’t forgive But the roads that we drive and enlighten are forgiving though I can’t keep up with your sweet Changes Changes I can’t keep keep up with your sweet Changes Changes Cuz your always swimming deep Sailing boats in a tsunami and I hold on a little until you pull away with your sweet Your sweet changes Fluorescent curtain surrounds us Driving down the road now No peace in your stubborn mind But you try to forget through the rush of this white sound Trying to talk you can’t see All the pain that breathes out loud Why try to keep it together Silence builds up the wall that holds you into the ground There’s just one side of you, can’t seem to live Addicting violent nature I just can’t forgive But the roads that we drive and enlighten are forgiving though I can’t keep up with your sweet Changes Changes I can’t keep keep up with your sweet Changes Changes Cuz your always swimming deep Sailing boats in a tsunami and I hold on a little until you pull away with your sweet Your sweet changes Why do I sing and why do you lie Why do you have to send me off into the silent night Why do I sing and why do you lie Why do you have to send me off into the silent Why do we dance and why do we cry Why do we tell and why do we lie If there is something that I need to know then tell me something that I need to know

Hidden Corners 04:34

I left your house with the taste of your mouth Still singing my skin The new day begins where I give myself up for you Laid in the heat of those thick summer days Where we’d melt and decay Because love was away from our grasp And then I find myself Up against the tree With your hand caressing me And I’m running down the street at night With the light shining on me Right in the back of my car was a war Our clothes on the floor With the orange light swarming your iris your left eye was spiraling Down onto me Don’t pursue me I’ve been down this road before So don’t make go Up against the tree With your hand caressing me And I’m running down the street at night With the light shining on me You’ve been wandering round the corners of my mind Pushing through the waters of my sea of frights Tryna shake you out my head for days and days Why do I feel this way Up against the tree With your hand caressing me And I’m running down the street at night With the light shining on me

Mending 05:45

Aching blue breath Assaults me through the phone First time I heard you cry The carpet’s getting worn The signs were like cars Like water they passed by Each one hitting a body Not one caught my eye So don’t cut the power lines tonight There’s light even on the darkest sides Your body decays but multiplies No saviors I need you to survive The new year has passed Thought some pain would be gone More rocks turned over There’s bugs in all the mold Reached into cement Like junior high Drew the outline of your face So you’ll never die You try to find a reason But there’s always a bigger cost If you love it’s not treason To the bloody hands that claw your back So don’t cut the power lines tonight There’s light even on the darkest sides Your body decays but multiplies No saviors I need you to survive You’re heated like that summer weather And burning down the bridge till you taste defeat And I know I can’t make it better We need you in our lives so it can all turn sweet

It’s sweet Catching eyes on the dance floor Britney’s on the beat It’s the drinks or the hair but you boys bring the heat I’ve heard it all before but I’ll certainly take a seat And I know You like this move so I’ll take it Hitting it real slow I’ll let you in then I’ll tell you I have to go To go You know Hey Hey I’m nervous but I’m shaking like Hey Hey Move your body to the rhythm Ok Ok I don’t care About your job or how she never gave you a chance I’ll confess that I’m really only here to dance So hush up baby show me that you can That you can And there’s time To block out all the noise lose your mind It’s my song and I’m losing it for the night There’s something in the air, think I might Rock to the bass to the rise of the morning light Hey Hey I’m nervous but I’m shaking like Hey Hey Move your body to the rhythm Ok Ok In the concrete jungle tossing ashes We can take it throw it way back to the diner Drive in movie play it like a classic With that cherry coke two straws we can pass it And I know you wanna talk right now but I really just wanna go and dance right now My shoes are tearing up the whole place So many kids with their hair died taking up my whole space And I learned it all from the best Lana taught me how to wink Marina how to dress Just a little singer down from Jersey You’ll find me by the beach no need to worry About all those childish things They can go to hell but we can laugh from the swings cuz We’ll find a better way We can dance till dance it’s a game to play Hey Hey I’m nervous but I’m shaking like Hey Hey Move your body to the rhythm Ok Ok

How Could I... 04:28
lyrics

I remember when you were mine My teeth ground down in between the words of my bitter lies Wanting you was out of line The whisper in the woods eased my mind and stole all time Away from from trust I was running with the wolves and the leader of the pack was lust I can’t hold on To the promise that I made all my ambitions are gone How could I let this happen Scars were carved into the hallow air I held my tongue until I touched the bottle Your kiss was something I couldn’t bare So I drank till I turned lose I opened up and there was no battle when I told the truth No I can’t blame you But you’re a guilty party playing me like a fool There was no one To stop us when it became a little more than fun I fell headfirst Into your arms when you held me binding me like a curse How could I let this happen Scars were carved into the hallow air I held my tongue until I touched the bottle Your kiss was something I couldn’t bare He left me there once we parted He was tricky honey Who will come find me then save me I broke the clocks and divided The right from the wrong then decided To use all the bullets then hide it And I was like How could I let this happen Scars were carved into the hallow air I held my tongue until I touched the bottle Your kiss was something I couldn’t bare

Haunted 05:43

There’s nothing to say in my old tracks Painting blood along this wounded path And I’m not surprised you’d sit and laugh Could you find a way to heal the past No I don’t need any company No one can help me set that child free I’m haunted when the light come down There’s glass in this shattered town I never knew how to go on Silenced, at the pew my song was violence To the love I always needed you to give to me If I knew that breathing would be hard I would’ve hid my lungs in the yard And I’m not surprised I’ve kept it in this long For the first time I don’t feel wrong No I don’t need any company No one can help me set that child free I’m haunted when the light come down There’s glass in this shattered town I never knew how to go on Silenced, at the pew my song was violence To the love I always needed you to give to me Wanna know something sick I’d give myself to any participant The ropes are bound and wrapping around my wrist There’s still hope but I’m lying here on the floor You’re behind the door And I could’ve sworn I was good at keeping it together I’m haunted when the light come down There’s glass in this shattered town I never knew how to go on Silenced, at the pew my song was violence To the love I always needed you to give to me

Dark Park 05:14
lyrics

Static voices Tearing through the stereo They’re telling what I have to be Kids are cheering Listening to their favorite songs Corner store lemonade is all I see You said we were gonna live forever Don’t you think it’s kind of funny That change of weather We were gonna live forever Live forever Carry me up them stairs in the blue light darling It’s ok to wander through the dark park See the eyes of god Never look back You’re the home that I’ve always known My darkest thoughts always prove That when your hands shake Home will comfort you Carry you up the stairs to your room You said we were gonna live forever Don’t you think it’s kind of funny That change of weather We were gonna live forever Live forever Carry me up them stairs in the blue light darling It’s ok to wander through the dark park See the eyes of god Never look back You turn the keys the engine starts like an old show And we hit the road they’ll never know what we know It’s ok to fall apart There’s something burning in the house in the distance Your eyes are flashing heaven never needs a wristband It’s ok to fall apart Carry me up them stairs in the blue light darling It’s ok to wander through the dark park See the eyes of god Never look back
