- All of Everything, Erased
this is the window where
i watched the future start
my pupils dilated
the shock sped up my arms
i shut my ambushed eyes
and turned my face towards the heat
i felt the city choke
- Brother's Blood
My brother’s blood boils in my arms
It balls my fingers into fists
It bubbles, blisters, burns my palms
It floods with fury, fights and fits
It’s got the good guy in me hiding
It kicks my humble heart around
It’s got me fiending for the fire
That could finish off this town.
- Carnival
i quit the carnival and moved next door
thought i’d had enough but i wanted more
so now i’m sneaking out at night
i clean my face and shine my shoes
and go where i’m not supposed to
see i tamed a lion once i stole his roar
stripped his pride away but he found more
- Go Haunt Yourself
The moralist on the mountaintop
The cap gun cowboy caught playin' dress up
Patrols his cartoon beat with his costume clothes
The damn fool with his ten ton chip
His bourgeois blues
And his heartbreak habit
Slings his lightning bolts
- It's Only Your Life
You wrestle yourself to the ground
You springboard and kick yourself in the mouth
'Cause all of that drama, that embarrassed charade
Couldn't stop you or settle you down
So you got back with your black hole
And you don't care who's out there or who knows
'Cause you're spent and you're sad
- Just Stay
I found my fickle friend out in the alley way.
He said "You don't look so good."
I said "Hey, Doc, that's great."
"You started practicing, I never got the note."
So lets shake and trade and be on our way.
Let's go go go.
So here we are again, inside your neon shrine.
- Longer that I'm Out Here
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found and
I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground
I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it down
Have you ever? No, never never?
I find that hard to believe
Now let's burn the furniture
- You Brushed Her Breath Aside
Up on the bus, cash in your hand
His voice in your head
"You can 'til you can't"
Your every step leaned like ladder at the edge of the earth
You broke a border, killed a promise, took apart all the work
You held him high and tight
He brushed your beath aside
