a drive through Richmond I'm gonna form a band Ill be the best drummer And you’ll all be my fans I’m just trying to take it easy i’ve got all my friends It makes me feel better Than I really am And Teya would love me she would hold my hand we would have each other at least that was the plan I want to be a writer a master of words Make it crystal clear how i’ve been hurt But life has a funny way To turn you around A whole new direction a new face in town When I drink nothing matters and nothing ever hurts I become someone different for better or for worse

There are a few things That can keep you alive it can be obvious Like sleeping well at night But I took a trip today To a city in Spain in a last ditch attempt to finally get away it was black and white There was wrong and there was right I’ve been talking too A good friend of mine said I’m a little lonely But otherwise I’m fine Some days I walk the beach or drink all night I live at the top of the hill and its a wonderful sight and its not mine and thats just fine I know what I’m up to been running my whole life i didn’t get away from anything frozen in fear this whole time with Spain as my witness ill admit to myself I cant handle the pressure Of anything I’ve felt It’s black and white There is wrong and there is right There were good times many happy times I had no money but I knew you loved me and I had problems I was the problem But I tried to stay kind Keep it black and white Im not really angry so lets not be angry i’ll take the next flight ill come home and ill be fine and when the dog bites Ill just let it bite Try to sleep at night And that should solve them All my problems

Ive been overwhelmed Buildings falling all around Suspicious looking clouds Glass all over the ground I was working in the sun When they said we gotta hide when the rebels come And I hardly made it out There were moments when I had my doubts and its kind of funny But mostly sad I get a way for a while before I have to go back Im always getting sick And I don’t know how my wife handles it But I never ask Im a coward when it comes to that And she’s like honey And I’m all salt She is golden and I’m just not And I’m slowly drowning In all of these tangled plots A simple story it Is not And who the fuck wrote this it just Goes on and on They’ve got me running in a surprise marathon And I cant breath My strength is gone And they’ll kill me if I take to long and its kind of funny But mostly sad I get away for a while before I have to go back

The Grips 04:00
It takes one to know one I can see it in your eyes They look just like mine What have you done You can’t help it It’s not for you to decide you’re in the grips Hardly alive, hardly alive My daughter what can I say The fault is mine I have let you down It’s out of my hands now And I am so afraid of you and I know you are too The last time I saw you it took me a moment to recognize Skin pulled over your bones Sunken in cheeks, sunken eyes And the anger all the violence you showed no remorse or care of any kind Oh the violence, the violence My god what can I say The fault is mine I have let you down there’s blood on my hands now and I can’t take care of you if this is the path that you choose And I won’t be around To bury you in the ground but your mother will see it through and she’ll be numb just like you

Head Flowers 03:53
it’s time to go back To all the places that I’ve ran away from A few times in fact Who’s keeping track I keep my house haunted So I don’t get lonesome I like the eye contact And not with the living But with the dead They only say things Worth being said Its time to face the facts so they did it to you They had to do it to someone its a sad contract But its all just an act well the curtain opens up And I’m acting to no-one But I’m fine with that Flowers from the crowd in my head Say it might have been my best one yet But for me the play feels so long Even with the stimulants I’m on And all the ghosts fill the house But they all leave when I come out And i don’t know where I’m supposed to be No-one placed that mark for me But you can still find me backstage Waiting for the light to change If that light ever burns out you’ ll never know what this plays about So ill just wait patiently For that light to call me For that curtain to open up Find out if I’ve rehearsed enough

My boy is upset My daughter is homeless My wife can’t look me in the eye There is a knock at the door One I just can’t ignore no I’m not sure how I got home last night but I think I found a clue the car in the driveway is missing a piece or two i can feel it in knees the specific way they bother me If I keep doing this I’ll die its not going to be easy but I’ll do it for my family This angry ocean needs to dry so Give me something I can bite This is going to hurt, but thats alright Ill bite through my cracking teeth if it gets me back on my feet I’ll show my daughter living proof If can do it, she can too She can too

Nail Bed 05:04
Well I guess I got what I deserve A hard lesson to learn I worked so hard For what I earned well deserved return The ones I love can hardly survive And its all my fault, its my design and they are the nails on the bed I lie They bare my weight, they equalize But I don’t lay flat on my back, I roll around from side to side And I admit its a loosing fight They cant hit back, their cuffs are tight and they know full well all my lies Sometimes they pretend to ease my mind But I cant keep it straight in my mind I go back and fourth all the time I know they can see right through me And smell the liquor through my teeth and I know they don’t doubt How hard i’ve tried to stay clean and calm myself down When I hit the ground and it hurts to breath and somehow they’re still around To hold me up It’s not what I deserve It’s not what I’ve earned

i have failed you, in just about every way standing in the water, just another awful day And I’ll just float away, wont make a sound when I make it out of town ill find a place With no-one around, then I’ll drown Your mother will be there, to fix all of my mistakes just like she’s always done, I hit the gas she hits the breaks And every thing i’ve built, I always break nothing scares me more, than a peaceful day singing birds far away I don’t trust the song, it knows something But it just won’t say Standing in the water Just another awful day

Morning Bed 05:29
I woke up in my morning bed Didn’t get much rest My wife asleep beside me A cat on my chest on the walls shadows move strange men pat my head smile wide and unnatural say I haven’t seen the worst of it yet i want want to tell her what just happened but I always forget but they always come make my mourning bed I think I know what I want to write But I forget how to hold a pen and the words are hard to catch like rabbits thought the forest of my head I lay down in the thickest grass I even hold my breath I can hear them all around me but they scatter before I’ve had the chance I want to explain what I’m after But I always forget and I’m not sure Where they went I wake up in my morning bed And I’ll die in my mourning bed
