- A night stroll
Twilight's fallen and darkness strides
To reveal what the Sun conceals.
Fix your eyes on vertiginous heights
That are now unsealed.
Chorus:
Come and join me, let's watch the stars
Shining bright while they ride the sky
- Cheap Shots And Setbacks
You've got everything to look up to from the bottom
You've got everyone else to compare yourself against
So forget it, you're forgotten in a world so disenchanted
Always asking, never knowing
Is it just you or everybody else?
We're the kids who are dead inside
But we're the ones who feel alive
- Dial Tones
It really hurts to know that I'm why your bed's half empty
Why you sleep alone or just stare up at your ceiling
And if you're a mess, God knows what that makes me
'Cause the weight from all my guilt is all too much for me to carry
I'm sorry
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
- Every Year Gets Better
You're terrified, fighting and flailing at the future
Just back down
All you defy you can't escape so make the best of it
The rest of all you have is running out fast
But maybe all it is you need is someone who has been there first and knows their way around
'Cause you've got a cage in the back of your mind
And I've got the key that'll let the birds fly
- Fat Lip
Storming through the party like my name is El Niño
When I'm a hangin' out drinking in the back of an El Camino
As a kid, was a skid, and no one knew me by name
Crashed my own house party 'cause nobody came
I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Never going, never showing up when we had to
- John Hughes
How long's it been since I was young?
Fifteen years since wooden guns,
Six years since playing board games was anywhere near fun
And it'd be over-dramatic to say the world forgot about me on its way
But that's not always enough to keep cursing the whole of the Earth at bay
No one knows me like John Hughes did
I think we all relate to that
- My Oceans Were Lakes
More thought is less that's said
War fought inside my head
Hard times and valentines
Closed eyes and still frame minds
'Cause old thoughts hate modern words
It's not just the truth that hurts
Scars heal, but never stray
Will I see another day?
- Often
I often think to myself, "Don't let your guard down."
But my fucking useless arms are always tired
I'm worse than I've ever been
I used to find comfort in how everyone's got problems
And it's selfish of me
But I'd rather just be fine
I take precautions like they're bad advice
- Pilgrims
My early memories only come in handfuls
And those that follow span a decade uneventful
They live in VCRs that play my scrapes and scars on a screen for all
'Cause I was never one to look at them as anchors
But something lighter like a souvenir or postcard
I packed them up to drive and carry on 'til I called a new town home
I wanted more for myself than seeing life in the shade of this town

AS IT IS LYRICS
"Relive The Story"
I've grown out of hope
I'm giving up on living up to my expectations
- Winter's Weather
How long, how long ’til I’m no longer a shadow
‘Cause I’ve been thinking I’d so love to feel again
Silence; I screamed her name
And wondered why you never came
I wear my...
I wear my curse you wear my cure
