The Bigger Picture

No one said it'd be easy,
no one ever promised that it'd be cake
When you burn too many bridges,
no one's there when you're lying on your face
Because you never moved an inch for me

But this is bigger than the two of us
because we've all hit rock bottom now
And you're choking at the thought of it
I guess you weren't man enough

You can't always have your head in the clouds
but if you do then take me with you
Oh silly me, I'd move the mountains for you,
lasso the moon if you wanted it
Sadly, they were perfection
until I saw their flaws
But you were perfection despite them
I gave you everything you wanted,
don't forget it

How can you walk away
when you only had a taste of my love?
You were lost, without a home,
but you pissed on what I tried to build
They told me so. It was a futile fight
and you expect to be let back in
You'll do it again
But not this time

Atticus

When the sun will rise
I will no longer be by your side
Take me to the place where we began,
Where I can find the light

Perfection in your eyes
But you'll never be in mine
Not with this blindfold and my hands tied
I will let you be my guide

These dreams and memories,
you married them.
When you take your pen to paper,
just remember-
It only flows
when feeding off of something
less than beautiful

Those Pretty Things

Let your heart guide your hands
They all know it's true
What are you trying to hide?
It was always you

Hey! Don't shy away
Say those pretty things you want to say
You never know, it may be something I want to hear
Is there something that I am missing, dear?

They can't take you away from me

Close your eyes lock it up and throw away the key
(It was always you)
(But you keep it in the dark and never set it free)

Your Own Medicine

Drive faster, you'll find all the answers you seek
She sings, "I don't love you but I love this"
and sets fire to the home where their love, here, once was built

And I have never seen before alluring ways I can't ignore
And I have followed the wrong road,
I know that you've been here before.

One day they'll get what they deserve.

You've been changing, can't look me in the eye
Read me those headlines
and let me know how your intentions taste
with your red hands, your disgrace

Naked in the Snow

I love the way the winter air feels
even if it reminds me of when we drank..

Thinning blood and beating hearts
we already said in melody
"Oh good for me now it's just a memory"
I search the sea for why I search to ask the moon
why does she and I feel so cold and short of breath?
So reflective. My own emotional displacement.
Stars to memory of gold so dismal
So why are you the brightest?

'Cause I got to got to sing about this baby
even if it doesn't heal my soul
And I got to got to write about this baby
even if it doesn't heal your soul
And I love the way the winter air feels
even if it reminds of when we drank whiskey

Shake the Feeling

Down for the count but we feel alright
We all knew that we were going nowhere
That's the time when you caught my eye
Then you told me no one's home tonight

You make me feel so tall.
When the camera's off, you're thinking of me..
In another life, I'd make you feel alive

Shake the feeling you're not good enough
and tell me things I want to hear
Oh, why must humans have this cloud of doubt?
when it feels like you're my only hope

We can run to the city
Who will know if we'll stay?
Just the fact that we got there
.. yeah, we'll always have that

When you're saying the right words,
it's so easy to fall
But you know you could crush me
I'm not your experiment

Darling, I can't help but be amused
But it doesn't medicate, it is just getting in the way
You've built me up this life that I could never have
Don't you see what you've done to me?

Home Away From Home

Take my hand
Don't you dare ever look back
because you feel like home,
but we're not safe here
You're my home away from home

My devil inside wants you to love me,
even though we both know that you can't have me.
Forgetting advice a wise man told me:
"Don't take advantage of reality"

I'm in lust with you when I close my eyes.
So be careful what you wish for when I'm around
So stop coming around.

Are you just going to sit there or stand up and fight?
You're pulling me in-
but our cause is not the same

New Design

I want to paint you something nice
I want to play you something nice
Paint myself a new design
Paint myself a whole new line
Paint your soul a new design
And it's all flashed in white
painted that line and crossed it too many times

And I can map it out as we're drowning in the well
He won't save you if you save this
and I'm grasping in the darkness for something that is gone

I lost my senses. I've lost my place, yeah.

Show me how to find a way out
You're digging me hole while I'm still alive

If I painted you a picture would you burn it to the ground?
Spread the ashes all around?
Would that free you?

I just wanted to play you something nice
I just wanted to sing you something nice
Paint myself a new design

Whose Side Are You On?

Summer air, sunken ships and broken bottles.
Leave me here lying on the sand
You were made of nothing until I gave you life
and we could run the world if it were still alive

You decide, you decide
who's coming home tonight, who's coming home tonight
You decide, you decide
with my arms outstretched wide, with my arms are outstretched wide

Black and blue, bitter wine and broken homes.
We all know you're Mona Lisa smiles
but no this isn't love.

Fuego

There's a house that's tucked away
and on a day much like today you would take me away

You say that I am the fire but you can't get close to the flame
Today could be the day. I just need you a little bit closer

Be no longer afraid of the world and all of it's evil

I'll tear it apart; you're machine of a heart

I Don't Do Revenge

Now baby, why don't we just get out of here now?
I think I'll write a love song
Now baby. I think we just got off on the wrong foot
but nothing can stop us now
There's no heart in me
I fear the world will rust me

Believe me when I say
that I would give you everything
to spend the night and taste you once again
even though you're no good for me

  I can't feel my mouth
This game we're playing requires a quicker tongue
Silver-tipped and certified
I just got to try
This game we're playing requires a quicker tongue
(They're trying hard to get me but you'll never see,
you were just playing little games with me.
Try to bite it down because I'm always wrong.
I need to take it back because I can't feel my tongue)

There's no light at the end of the road
and I know you're alive but you have no soul

They don't see us. Please don't leave us

I gave my heart to my love
and now inside of her chest beats a fools heart
