Hanging on by a thread
Could've been titanium
But your grip isn't shit if your gonna sweat Looking down below
Now everything seems so small
Nothings malleable And nothings perfect Never wanted to be a shadow
Looking at the lights not better then nothing You can be something
That's hard to see
And I don't want to be that thing
Running after you
Looking down below
Have to let somethings just go
Maybe it's durable
Everything turns into a joke
Perfect timing
The flaws were perfect
Never wanted to be a shadow
And wasn't planning to fall in love
This year I had this feeling
Things were gonna change
And I will never be that man
Running out on you

Black Rocks

Those days never ending
Windows looking in to long
Almost found a reason
And suddenly it was gone
Sure fooled everybody in the shallow,
Black Rocks
Momentary faces
Last forever When there caught
You Don't need that anchor
When you want to get lost
Sure fooled everybody in the shallow,
Black Rocks
And old question marks pollute the air
Be afraid but don't turn away
Hearing warning through a wooden door
Always looking for exits signs alone
And it's a shame you don’t dive anymore
It’s so deep
And you’re dangling your feet
I think I’m gonna to pull you in
If you can’t find a reason
I will

Floating Apple

I was born again for a couple of days
Until I fell face first in sin
It’s so hard to be a good guy
So I drank and I laughed
Until the sun fell down again
Don’t know where I was going
All I know is I’m headed towards
Getting my hands on that floating apple
I know I can get it
Got have one
If I keep on going
Don’t know why
I’m just so Hungry for one
I know I can get it if I run
I’m a rookie cliché going on 30 something
Still trying to give a damn
But that’s ok with me a got a great deal
From those weights that I called dreams

Blame Faith

Nothing but a snake in her
Should just creep on out of there
Somethings in the way
Something nebulous
And it's just enough to scaring it to stay
Deciding to sleep on it
Not done so easily
Maybe it's to late
Never surfacing
Drowning from tender honesty
All I know is I await to never wait again
But you have the eyes on angel
A color I still haven't made
And I don't know if I can be happy
Without sinking my teeth in this world
And if I die from starvation it's because
My patience was faith.
Or is this just a dream
Because now it's not so clear
I think that i'm doing the right thing
Today and tomorrow
it's one thing I should follow
Then why does yesterday seem like mistake..
I am hearing primordial sounds
It surrenders everything now
Should I follow the trail that it's left for me Should I swallow that hunger and never eat Should I risk those eyes and never find
That color that saved my life
It was faith

Professional Possum

I had it all figured out
I'd fill your ears and catch an eye or two
But I think I need a little push
Or maybe I'm out fuel
So maybe I need a ride too
There's nobody listening in this room
No one cares, and drinks
So I don't need any of you
To give me a ride
To give me a little push
Cause it's easy to pretend that your dead
It depends though how long
you can hold your breath
If you’re not a professional yet
Well I wouldn't worry,
But I never worry
I'm just trying to live the best I can
With what I have and what I know will last

Somebody Else

t's early, but it's way to late
To wake her, to ask her again
She'll tell me the world is the same.
That root's weak,
And I'm going to me for myself
By digging till it's sunny
That's funny, how I'm somebody else..
Your email has made you brave
You type words that you wanted to say And I've noticed that I have changed
I'll say things now right to your face
I love you but I hate you too
It's so true, how I'm somebody else.
I'm somebody sane
Facing the wrong way
The right way waits.
I use to think that I was brave
Now I know I'm just an idiot
Who stares at stars
And thinks they'll show the way

Stubborn Cusp
03:36

Save your breath experience
Cannot change what’s permanent
So there can never be a start
But you went on and on
There’s no such thing
You’re making your words manifest
Save that in your memory bank
And pay attention more
Because it’s cheaper then replacing all those bandages
And when you finally find what
you’re looking for
Don’t be frightened of being happy
Increments to equal signs
Never seems to add up right
Without that valuable side
To see her one day
When it’s too late
Integrated or missing
Adding up and happily
It’s such a vivid dream
And better then the one I made for myself
And when I finally find what you’re looking for Not so certain, hope it’s worth it
It’s such a stubborn cusp
With nothing but a grip and bad habits
So when you finally find what
you’re looking for
Don’t be frightened of being happy

Miseries Paleness

Your patience was priceless
But you created a monster
A monster with a nightmare
So peaceful With no-one to scare
A monsters nightmare
So peaceful And Never Unkind
So I pulverized the land today
So nothing grows there again
I spread the salt all over this failed ground
But it heals The green starts to rise
all the gray retreating on a windy day
Your's going to end up losing
Something once or twice
And the world is not hiding behind your eyes
I’m sorry, so sorry
For moments were starving there starving There a silence
You know that you can never ignore
There was no sound brave enough
So I pulverized my heart today
So nothing grows there again
I spread the salt all over this failed love
But it heals
And I can't change my life
The worlds not big enough
To run away this time
You’re going to end up losing
Someone once or twice
And the world is not hiding behind your eyes
Now it's mine
Miseries paleness
Misery hasn’t failed me yet
No it’s never failing
No it's never helping
So I pulverized my heart today
So nothing grows there again
But it’s there again

Upsidedown Heart

Lucky barbed charm ruined all of my pockets Self portraits done
Did it with a punch and a broken mirror
It’s way to late
Healing any damaged skin tissue
Stop trying to be, who you were
It's who you are now
It’s nice to dream
So desperate for reality lessons
So far who cares
About those palpitation warnings
There was this feeling
When you got close the beat got loud
Now there’s no suspense to bear.
I was so proud to jump right in
So you can spit me out
Now I’m just lost with out you
Blood is always busy traffic
Always moves along
It hasn’t been the same though
Since That heart turned upside down
