Hold On

/ Intro (Monologue) /
When the winter came, I didn't quite know what to do with myself.
At night, I'd grab and reach for something, someone.
My room would always be too quiet. My fingers would always feel empty.
And, like, it sounds cliche, and stupid, and untrue. And I've been missing you.
Maybe. But I felt empty, too. I felt empty, too.
/ Intro (Singing) /
So long
So long
Goodbye
Farewell
This
This is the end of me
At least me
As you know me
However long it takes
To get some company
And time 'till I awake
I'll spend it all on me, I am happy
I am happy, with the way things will be
And I'd run my knees into the ground, for what my life really needs
And as I get older
I see the sun rise
As the snow gets colder
I find the warmth inside
If there's anything I've learned
It's that this isn't the end
And impossibility
Isn't too far for me
It isn't too far
For me
There's a bird to fly, there's a star to burn
There's a new tomorrow, there's a world to turn
And I'll be there
I'll always be there
The future's never looked so bright
I see it in my dreams tonight
The best is so close to come
So just hold on, hold on to me
However long it takes
To get some company
And time 'till I awake
I'll spend it all on me, I am happy

I Think to Myself
03:24
|
|||
|
I wish you were here
I sat alone this time last year
Lookin' outside too long
Just to see the clouds
And I never heard
The sound of all the other birds
When I rocked back into my chair
I wasn't so proud
I think I heard my heart
Jump out of my chest
Onto the floor, when your ghost
Passed through the house, and out of the door
Though I'd imagine things are good
But I hope they're oh so good
As they probably should
I just hope they are
And I would think to myself that
You're not that good
Since, I been runnin' my head into
Loose pieces of wood
And the door frames with your name
Occupy my mind
Doo doo, doo doo doo
I once had a love
In ways, well I still do
And maybe being alone
Meant that it only grew
And, uh, hate's a quite strong word (well hate's a strong word)
But... I could never hate you
And I would think to myself that
It's all good
Just as it should
You probably could
And I would think to myself that
It's only time
The thought of you haunts me
Thinkin' that, we'd have been fine

Dead Weight: Freeloader
02:02
|
|||
|
I know some
Big cats in high places
And I just got
A bill for $30
But you don't see me
Dial, ring 'em up
The way you always
Beg and ask and holler
You got this
Freeloader bullshit about you
And I can't see
Why I still hang around
A bit of dead weight's
Up on top my back
You're just another
Thing to drag me down
I got my
Own problems, yeah,
I know you got em too
But I'm not in a place where I can bother
With a
Friend who shakes me down for every dime
I can help you out
Just don't suck me dry
You got this
Freeloader bullshit about you
And I can't see
Why I still hang around
A bit of dead weight's
Up on top my back
You're just another
Thing to drag me down

Hurricane
05:53
|

|
Rainy days
They keep me awake
Summer haze
Endless drags, while I bake
Wood for the floor
Plaster at the ceiling
Trees in the wind
Palms still healing
Scrape up the pennies
Or do the dime
If you plan to breathe
It'll pass with time
A fault in us all
See where the wolves run
When it's all shot to hell
Then they'll have their fun
But yeah, it's goodbye
To everything you knew
Maybe a fresh start
Hello to the coup
Just blow it away
Hurricane
Too easy to say
It'll be okay
Just take it today
Shake it up and away
Hurricane
You only make me see in blue
Sunk to the floor
Shouting at the ceiling
Friends to the wind
Palms still healing
Scrape up my hands
Pardon the crime
Ignore the demands
You'll pass with time
A fault for the best
Hunt in the bright sun
Even in the good times
Got to have a little fun
But yeah, it's goodbye
To everything you knew
Back through and restart
Hello to the coup
Just blow it away
Hurricane
Too easy to say
It'll be okay

Burn
03:18

Get what you've paid for
Get what you have earned
It's only right
Get what you came for
Get what you deserve
It's all right
Keep it comin', I keep it comin'
You see it movin', ya see it movin'
This train don't stop
'til it's where it has to be
Light the fire, light the fire
Burnin' things that we don't need
Well it's only sunshine where it's perfect
'fore you go ahead and stock the flame
Burn it up
Burn it up
We've got
Some alternative means
Burn it up
Burn it up
We've got
Let's pour some gasoline
Burn, hoo, burn it
Burn, hoo, burn it
Burn, hoo, burn it
Burn it, earn it
It's only empty (Burn, hoo, burn it, Burn, hoo, burn it)
For as long (Burn, hoo, burn it)
As you let it be (Burn it, earn it)
Lightmaker
Control
Your destiny
For me
Burn it up
Burn it up
We've got
Some alternative means
Burn it up
Burn it up
Let's pour
Some gasoline

My Grave's Keeper
05:01

El lobo, el corre
Y el es loco, el es
Un assassino pero seda y dulce
Como coco
Como coco
Deep in the cemetery
My friends and I will bury
These memories
Please give me peace
This is recess
I have no regrets
Spun in spider-silk in mind
These will never die
El lobo, el corre
Y el es loco, el es
Un assassino pero seda y dulce
Como coco
Como coco
And I find in this state of mind
I'm blind to the things that I see
And unfortunately, when we're defined
The town's high noon has me on in three (one, two, three)
And I been surfin' when I find the time
But I can't find the memories
Back to the moonlit skies
And times we would fly away, away, away
Away (so far away)
Fly away (fly, so far away, fly)
Do you remember that soft glow ride
Crescents with tears in eyes
And the roses droppin' petals underneath?
Petals underneath (yea)
As we fell through night
Petals underneath
As we melted to that night
And do you
Remember the moonlit sky
As we fell through the night?
As we held onto that night
And I was fallin' like the trees
On the burnin' memories
And the birds and all the bees
They were flyin' overseas
While I fell in on the breeze
Oh the memories,
Could they please
Give me reprieve?
Keep me clean, it's the reprieve I need
For this stake I leave (overseas)
And take I leave
Venom take your leave
Though once it's gone
I feel I won't breathe
And I find in this state of mind
I'm blind to the things that I see
And unfortunately, when we're defined
The town's high noon has me on in three (one, two, three)
And I been surfin' when I find the time
But I can't find the memories
Back to the moonlit skies
And times we would fly away, away, away
Away

Loved Once
05:41
|
|||
|
I've been in love once
But only once
Through all the trials and tribulations
Relationships and confrontations
I can't believe it
Not the end
Can't conceive it
The idea that love is dead to me
You don't gotta believe in love like I do
I'll never ask you to understand what I've been through
Remember what you stand for, let it carry you
Cause I'll be clawing and climbing for one thing
You know it, too
I might love twice
We'll see where that gets me
Through all the thoughts and machinations
Useless quips and contemplation
And I haven't felt much
No, I've been feeling little
When the world's an open book
I'm still stuck on one riddle
You don't gotta believe in love like I do (Like I do)
I'll never ask you to understand what I've been through
Remember what you stand for, let it carry you
Cause I'll be pulling and reaching for love, love, love, love, love
Like dreaming of a fortune
Chase what you think it's worth (Hopeless lovers, ever after)
When the place and time come (Not so happily ever after)
We're just hopeless lovers ever after (Hopeless lovers ever after)
You don't gotta believe in love like I do (Like I do)
I'll never ask you to understand what I've been through
Remember what you stand for, let it carry you
Cause I'll be pulling and reaching for love, love, love, love, love

A Pillow Case
02:31
|
|||
|
I'm just trying to lay my head down
And go to sleep
But the smell of my pillows
Just seems to keep
Me awake
It reminds me of you
And when I started thinking
I could use a bigger bed
You came around to paint
A picture in my head
That I
Thought was pretty alright
And I might be the
Kind of guy to
Stare up high with
Open eyes
But when the lightning comes down
From the sky tonight
I'll only be thinking of you
After months of pulling smoke
I could hold it in my chest
The track meets got easier
Even if I wasn't best
Though you, oh
You, you make me lose my breath
And I'm holding
I'm holding
For an eternity
Keep on thinking of what could go wrong
Since it's all felt so right
And I might be the
Kind of guy to
Stare up high with
Open eyes
But when the lightning comes down
From the sky tonight
My only, just hold me, I'll only be thinking of you

Peace in the Light
04:06
|
|||
|
Moon touches sky
Water in the sea
And as it appears
Truly, it might not be
Step back
Forgive me
Smiles aren't
What they say
Right now, it's seemin'
My demons'll catch up to me
Tomorow's dreamin'
Of a peace in the light of day
Just promise me
You'll see what you need to see
Cloak and dagger in the shadows
Or birds in the canopy
And when the weight you carry
Asks for stronger than you'll ever be
Rally up your feelings
Await a time for healing
Right now, it's seemin'
My demons'll catch up to me
Tomorow's dreamin'
Of a peace in the light of day
I say, I say, I say,
Whatever comes next
Summer, winter, the spring, the cold
I'm ready
For life
The loss of blood
Counting coffins, or counting sheep
Save the soul
For it I keep
I am true to the right, to the bad, to the wrong
A loose leaf on the open plains
Spinnin' me faster, after and after
I can be stronger than I'd ever claim
For a while, I've been dealin'
With demons that've caught up to me
Today, I'm feelin'
A peace in the light of day
