End of Days 03:21
No this is not The kind of thing you could hope to relate Through a picture frame Or scattered thoughts across an open page But there’s no need to explain Cause you were there To feel for yourself the hope, the rage, the fear For our end of days Now we don’t talk at all I’m sad to say I didn’t want us, no I didn’t want us To end this way Come on, come on And tell me something more That you’re wondering I can’t believe there’s nothing left Come on, come on There must be something more That you’re keeping to yourself But take your time To get over this and back to where you shine To your brightest days When we let the Mississippi wash our hearts away Lauren I never told you but I’m sorry

Caffeine heart beating life To paper hands and lightbulb eyes Not burning oh so bright These days have scared me off the nights And it's all your fault Do you care at all? That I'm staring at the clock While it's sleeping on the wall Go on ignoring my despondent state While under your enchantments I remain Caught by karma til I set things right Went skating at the rink But what's a boy, what's a boy, what am I to think? When you don't reply for days And I'm left with reasons I create And I’d understand It wouldn't be so bad If you had told me from the start That I didn't have a chance And I know what I've done To deserve to watch your love float away, out of reach

Lock up tight Keep those thoughts behind your eyes There’s no one here to save The one’s who cannot save themselves From Sunday nights The same old story, same old fight Quarters spinning on the floor Can’t help from going underground Sick of our selves and of this sound And I don’t believe it’ll ever change We’ve been down And I can’t recall exactly how We ever found this place I think we must have made it for ourselves This desert life I’ll be the cactus, you the spikes Drying up together now

Australia 04:29
Nervous faces on a plane When we first met you asked me for my name A lucky sweater is all I’d need To grab your attention, now I cannot leave After landing we’d start to feel A little different but thinking, could this be real? Halfway round the world from home Time to forget what I already know So there’s room to grow In Australia Now things won’t ever be the same again And what am I supposed to say to that? Did you mean it when you said you’re falling in love? Taking pictures of all we’d find Funny how I wound up in yours all the time Maybe it just went by to fast But I was not convinced that we could last Swimming on our own tonight I wished we’d never to leave the outback lights But I know we’re going back someday To revisit all those places we stayed Where our hearts remain
5.
Take a shot, yea line it right up Cause you deserve the best It’s gonna hurt but before it gets worse You won’t feel the rest Take a hit, get your mind off it Try not to fall asleep And if tomorrow comes, it all repeats Here we go another time We act it out because we’ve memorized These lines will never take you far away Always bound to the scripted page I hope in time we learn to let it go Spellbound by the peace you found But it all comes with a price Transfixed, get your eyes off this There’s nothing worth this sight You joke, fingers down your throat But this time it’s for real Is there anything that you’d rather feel?

Bound to a season of counting nights When everyone’s lost in another’s eyes And I don’t stand a chance do I To bury myself in yours tonight? The closest you’ve come is too far away You don’t know how money you are to me You don’t, you don’t know That I’m stuck to these beaten down tracks Singing sad songs ain’t bringing you back but I don’t, I don’t know any other way Lost in the reasons I shouldn’t try Mind reader radio never lies But I can’t shake you off this time Awaiting the curtain call The do or the die

Took a drive at 4 AM last night Looking for the girl I left behind To a place off 94 where she Saw me with my band the year before I was starting to believe There was nothing left to lose No it can’t ever be as simple as we’d like The more we try to understand The more we obscure the light Under circumstances I’d say I’m well within the right Where are you tonight? Giving into demons in disguise Showing me through photos of her life On the verge about to bend While writing a message I could never send She’s got me by the heart Now there’s nothing left to choose Beyond the highway exit signs Over the state and county lines I’ll take back all we were denied And when I finally arrive At your front door you’ll recognize me And we can start again

Haunted Eyes 03:40
I see your face upon the blank white screen Is this for real or just something that I’m feeling The pixels form a perfect shape around your eyes And how I pray that their not all just lies I know there must be more than holding doors Just to recognize the chance That you’ll come back and stop the wars That rage inside me since you left I’m Out of breath and innocence No longer the man I was These haunted eyes could not surprise me now The dancer in the window glows as I walk by And a lightning storm attacks my chest as I recognize The way her hand traces the air around her neck I’ve seen this all before But it hasn’t happened yet It all reminds me of the way we were before And I don’t think that I could bear to close that door for good now All I’m seeing are the ghosts of memories past Wish they were really you I wish that they would last
