Guilty means an eye for an eye A little unsettling To get caught up inside of a lie time after time I get lost in a bottle of rye And countless cigarettes But you're here now And I've got my purpose for tonight Hey man, we're in the same room Watching it all unfolding Someday, we'll choose the same fate We'll put it all on display On my back with head full of ale And a face full of blood If I'm honest within myself I'll always be good enough And those who frame my family tree Have no idea That I'd become Their first forgery Hey man, we're in the same room Watching it all unfolding Someday, we'll choose the same fate We'll put it all on display

Downtrodden room inside a hollow home There's nothing left to see I watch your face but it's an empty screen And nothing's on TV I keep pretending that I'm in control My will won't ever bend I keep on hoping I stay in control But I know, it's never gonna end And it feels right as I roll out on the tracks Now my train is leaving and I'm not coming back And it feels like things are never gonna change But my train keeps coming, My train keeps coming back from where it came Your vacant eyes are no surprise All hollowed from meds Your days are long so you should get some rest But you've gone and shit the bed I watch it happen day after day Nobody's winning, I'll make my escape when No one is watching, I'll have to be quiet today But never again And it feels right as I roll out on the tracks Now my train is leaving and I'm not coming back And it feels like things are never gonna change But my train keeps coming, My train keeps coming back from where it came If I'm honest, we've lost it If you're honest, we lost it long ago If we're honest, we've lost it We've lost it for good I see you as you were meant to be I see you as you were meant to be seen

I'm a little bit slower, haven't got it going on I'm a little bit heavier, haven't got it going on It's a little bit easier than it used to be Having made the same mistake twice I've got no need for planetary advice The air's so pure, it feels me with love Now I think I'm signing off I stop and listen to each and every moment in time I'm clear and present, complete control of my mind I only hope I can keep it together Drifting away forever Try to make a wish upon a shooting star Then I feel it shift in me My moment of clarity Torn apart by gravity and all it's glory As I return to where I came from I'm a little bit further, haven't got it going on I'm a little bit sleepier, haven't got it going on It's a little bit darker than it used to be Maybe there's a lot left unsaid Maybe it was all in my head The air's all gone, I'm still filled with love And I know I'm signing off

The endless wonder stopped But we keep trying to carry on In this forest we are lost And the leaves, they all have fallen off You say there's nothing in it And if we wait a minute It'll all come back brand new At the center of it all, it's wasted Because we took our sweet time and hesitated And you never said a word But you can't do it all on your own Another year older And even colder shoulders And the faults between us grew At the center of it all, it's wasted Because we took our sweet time and hesitated Bring me back, I wanna feel like this again Bring me back, I wanna be with you again Bring me back, I wanna see what we can do When this fog has lifted and the sun is shining through The sun is shining through This fog of war

Silvertongue 03:54
Heard you had a real way with words Where everything you said could find a perch upon which to rest They said your tongue could cut through any armor But I think they were just afraid when you gave them your best Alright, come on, we can do it all night long Come on, alright, we can do this thing all night Won't you put up a fight 'Cause I got the stamina to handle what you brought with you tonight Lay down your sword You've gotten bored with the same old Alright, come on, we can do it all night long Come on, alright, we can do this thing all night Come on, alright, we can do all night if it feels right Just take a step back Try to to relax We'll take it slow Just lay down your sword Let's see where this goes And maybe tomorrow

Had a dream we were stuck in line at a turnstyle Waited so long, working so hard But it just seemed like we never moved an inch When we finally made it, we were quite thankful But then a man said, he was so sorry But the train we boarded was going nowhere Going nowhere A little bit of sunshine, would do us some good now If we could somehow Help us, mama, move on down the tracks Now that we've been on board for a year now Do you feel lonesome? Craving some freedom I know you're tired of going nowhere Going Nowhere

Ice Cream 03:22
I see the sky and it's crumbling It's a catastrophe Things are on fire Murder, disease and some pestilence No one is innocent But we can admire Reach for my hand, it's so deafening No one can hear us scream But I scream Hey, it's okay, it'll be over soon Pretend it's just me and you And we're driving To the coast where we'll bathe Under some sunny skies Leaving our cares behind Eating some ice cream Hey, it's okay, just close your eyes Dream of some sunny skies Where we can sit forever

VCA 05:47
Time's floating away We're on a flawless wave Life's slipping away I've got a VCA Step through the gates You've got it made

Cave in 03:35
What an awkward situation What a horrible surprise I feel the pain and frustration Welling up in my eyes Caving in on me The sight left me speechless And I lost my legs Landed on my knees as if to beg There was no solution To be found that day So I left my things right where lay Left the door wide open As I walked with haste Need to make my peace with no delay As I stood atop the world All the cars beneath It felt like an eternity As I walked to the edge All these images inside my head I was young and invincible I was filled with love, now filled with lead As I take my first steps I contemplate today Have I sealed my fate? As my world starts Caving in And my heart starts Caving in And my head starts Caving in on me

Easy Stuff 03:43
Early morning when I stepped outside to the cold On a mission to convince myself I'm not old As I stumble through the city's fog I should've sawed another couple logs I'll never be the greatest story ever told And I'll keep on keeping Tiny trinkets locked away inside Keep 'em safe The afternoons sort of blend into the nights Left alone in a room without any lights How does anybody this bad Without some guidance from dear old dad I'll take my chances no matter how slight And I'll keep on keeping Tiny trinkets locked away inside Keep 'em safe What's left and leaving Keeps decieving everyone but me It's so easy to see So many things that I wanted to see Just out of reach So many things that I wanted to do Maybe next week So many things that I wanted to say To you with all my heart But bad decision after bad decision Keeps on tearing us apart Simple solutions to complex problems It's simple

You've got a fantasy filled with sunny skies and some apple trees And you say you know How to make it true Sweet wine and some cigarettes Try to take your mind off of losing bets And those you thought you'd won far away and few Your dreams of a plot of land Free of those who don't understand Feels like running away to disappear Let's sit down and negotiate While some unkown force devours your plate Nothing much to say? There's nothing left to say We've got some time To try and change direction We've got some time to think this through And do our best work We've got some time To try and find perspective We've got some time just me and you Just me and you I know reality has some rainy days and epiphanies I can see how it makes you blue Now I don't wanna make a scene But you can drown your doubts all in kerosene And light them all ablaze On those cold and wintry Rainy, hopeless days
