Shatter
03:13
|

Started out fine
Still thought I had all of my mind
Found out I gave it away
I've been slaving away
Just saying these lies like you say to me
My mirror's broken
Took too long for me to notice my fear has spoken
Every day, just taking my time for everyone else
Shatter then gather yourself
You're looking for what's already found
Shatter then gather yourself
It's a harder way down the longer you drown it out
I can tell the lies from the lies
I can tell you eye to eye
I won't hunt you down anymore
How don't you know for sure what you're giving, yet you know what you take?
I can tell the fakes from the fakes, I can tell you face to face
I won't hurt your pride anymore
I won't cry anymore over you, don't you cry over me

Cardinal
02:25
|

Here we are
It's a God damned shame
Feels like you'd like to forget my name
I just met you, I let you in too soon
Who are you and where have you been all this time
Did you fix your mind
I wanna see the change in you
I lost touch with who I knew you to be
I wanna see the light in you
That light it never fades
Baby I saw another cardinal, do you know they follow you
They're only around when you're around
Yesterday is not today
It's not tomorrow
I wanna see the change in you
I lost touch with who I knew you to be
I wanna see the light in you
But we're shedding it

After All
03:32
|
|||
Dug my nails into the changing sky
I dug my heels into the high
Left all my roses behind
Left all their petals to dry
I've got no time to wait on lashes to fall
My heart's all I can rely on after all
I'd really like to stick around
Kick the dust and burn the sun to the ground
But I left all my phantoms behind
Left all their talk, talk, talk
I've got no time to wait on small minds to crawl
My heart's all I can rely on after all
Although the odds are stacked against
My queen of hearts this time
Although I'm in over my head
I'll never blend into the mire
Although the cards are stacked against me now
Although I'm in up to my chest
I'll never blend into the mire
I've got no time to wait on critics to call
My heart's all I can rely on after all

Badlands
03:39
|
|||
I know to run is just to feed my flaws
But I've been driving through the badlands all day long
Stuck in the traffic of my mind
Digging for something to be
Stuck in the havoc of lost time
Sifting for something to hold
Sometimes it feels like I'm swimming in a dead sea
I'm giving all of me for something unknown
My home, my heart, my hands have learned to hold it
I love you, I swear, I just don't know how to show it
I know to stay is just to feed my fears
But I've been kicking down doors and I know there's more
Set on the vision in my mind
I drove through the badlands
I swam through its bloodlines
And that's how I found the shore
I know to run is just to feed my flaws
But I've been driving through the badlands all day long
Stuck in the traffic of my mind
Digging for something to be
Stuck in the havoc of lost time
Sifting for something morе

Two Weeks
02:58
|
|||
I was in love before I met anyone
You're no exception, baby, you're no exception
Bring your breakables, baby, sit behind the drums
Are we ahead of our time?
Why do you always come back to me?
After my years of crying
I'll never put you on the back burn
I promise, I mean it now, better than I ever have before
Two years to give my two weeks
Sometimes what you want isn't what you need
I don't really mind the work herе at all
I'm just bursting at the seams
And I might lose it all
Hеad first into the unknown, I don't wanna live life
With a chain and ball, everybody seems
To know me so well, I don't know myself at all

You Lost You
02:47
|
|||
Light me a fire to spit in
I could really use a wish
I would wish you back, wish you luck
Wish you all you expected in the first place
Lessons aren't ever cheap
Hills we climb aren't always temporary
Lose your mind, lose your heart
Find them on whichever side you decide to fall
You pity the devil
You feed her too
I lost my place in your world
You lost you
You lost you
You lost you
Lift me up, I'll lift you
It's so simple, why is it difficult to do?
Be afraid, it's okay
Think me out, I'm so lonely in your brain, babe
You pity the devil
You feed her too
I lost my place in your world
You lost you
You lost you
You lost you
We used to walk hand in hand
But now we're a time capsule in the sand
Now nothing's getting through
And I don't know what to do
You lost you
You lost you
You lost you

One Day
02:51
|

I wish I had a god
Something to look up to
Maybe something to chase
Down these nights of such a low high
Tell me you're fulfilled and don't lie
I don't wanna be numb
I said I wanna feel
One day is far, one day is here
Are you lucid still?
Full-blood, fast, riding to die
This is the blood they meant when they warned me
It takes blood to get where you wanna
This is the sweat they meant when they said
It takes sweat to get where you wanna be
These are the tears it takes
This is the ledge and this is the fear
This is what's gonna make or break me one day, today
(One day is today)
I wish I had a guide, something to believe in
I wanna look up but lately I'm
Just looking down at the ground
Look me in the eye, tell me you're alive
One day is gone, one day's arrived
And I can't sit still and watch this world pass me by

Home
02:48
|
|||
Show me what's left of the world
And I'll show you what's left in my heart
I don't know just what we've begun
But I know we don't have to fall apart right now
Show me what's left of the sky
Besides its silver lines
I never can find them in the dark
I've tried so many roads
But only elsewhere ever feels like home
We've got it all
Coursing through our walls
Built to stand the storm
Even when it's so hard
We've got it all and we've got it now
Didn't build this ship
To let it go down now
Oh, oh, oh, to take it as it comes
I've never felt so sick of being young
I've got so much more to give
But sometimes, I don't know how
Oh, oh, oh, to love and let go
I've never felt so far from
What I've known
When I come home, I hope you will understand

I Always Will
02:42
|

Found a new love, it's not spinning on your old victrola
Found a new home and it's nowhere close to here
Oh baby, how did we get this far?
I could only stay if I'd be cheating my heart
And I won't cheat it
Found a new low
It's not keeping me down with the symptoms
Found a new place to sit and stare at the sun
Oh baby, I've been moving on
On and into the rush of my beating blood
And I always will
Found a new high not learning to climb
But learning how to fall
Found a new hope and it's all I've got
Oh baby, I truly believe
In the fire and fuel within our heart
And I always will
How could I?
I always will
I always will
