Well I hate the way your voice sounds when you talk to me So desperate and weak like you're trying to convince yourself That the past six years weren't a lie You climb the highest mountain tops, converse with the greatest minds Though you're back here with me I'm not trying to be cruel I just need to get some sleep New Year's 2009 In a flash flood of red wine, old grudges, suppressed appetite We made our peace Since then the fire outside has been spreading As flames lick the window sill, floorboards start to crown There ain't a drop of water around Well I'm not trying to be cruel I just need to get some sleep So I spent all this time playing shows, stacking student debt, mailing envelopes Full of hours I spent working my hands to the bone Dead end job Self-medicating Shitty cars In South shore basements Writing songs Barely holding on This ain't the way I Wanted to go tonight Driving in circles Trying hard to find the right words This ain't the way I Wanted to act tonight Lost inside my own head Trying hard to be the better man Locked and loaded Bored, yet choked up This was a bad idea We are a bad idea Locked and loaded Bored, yet choked up This was a bad idea I am the worst idea I'm not trying to be cruel I just need to get some sleep

Constant Etched in our minds with brick and bone A loss leading practice that feeds on the ill-informed Faultless This is the act that scars a man The contra the broken the un-American plan All eyes towards the sun This is the end of days Loss of the stable things Death of the honest way You're on your own All hope has fractured divine Bullseye Knock'em dead in the later rounds Attack through attrition 'til they're buried in the ground All eyes towards the sun This is the end of days Loss of the stable things Death of the honest way You're on your own All hope has fractured divine Always talking Saying nothing All your empathy is a ghost Static translucent that's living through parables Stuck in a place that time forgot Archaic banter a noose to progressive thought It's getting cold Winds ripping through the trees I'm finally alone To mend back my jaded warped sense of reality This is the end of days Loss of the stable things Death of the honest way You're on your own I hear the ring of the phone Begging me to come back A tactless play by the wolves Who hide in the leaves I hear the ring of the phone A desperate attempt to make me see All of these sickly things that they believe Hell is a still in your mind Hell is a still in your mind I hear the ring of the phone If this is what we strive for Why do I feel indifferent Hopelessly walking circles inside my head trying to finally feel

I've spent Nearly four years Staring at a wall While these old clothes and empty cans of seltzer Make a mountain range of the floor Bad news Struck too soon and shook the earth below my feet Infectious decent into crippling anxiety Although they're just words I tend to hold to high accord To justify all these complex patterns notes and silly chords Senseless Catatonic As I watch out my window A silent film like argument While my cat plays the soundtrack on the piano At the end of the day you find yourself Hard pressed to separate fact from fiction At the end of the day you find yourself Buried in the bottle to make your thoughts go away I've spent Nearly three years pacing back and forth Is it hopeless On the verge of breaking Afraid to make a choice Bad news Struck too soon And cracked the earth below my feet But I'm OK Heart's still beating Content with whats become of me A struggle to fill a void left so long ago A hole dug by years of self-loathing Coke bottle frames and broken bones Heartless Despondent As I watch out my window A silent film like boxing match While my cat played the fight riff on my piano The night Sarah picked me up And we drove down the shoreline A late night confession A pardon A chance to get my head right The past two years I've seen you fall apart A shadow A likeness that I don't know anymore This ain't the way it's supposed to be Your just a ghost of what has been You gotta get, get over it Your selfish No sense of focus I feel this era has reached it's end you're just a ghost of what has been

She spends these nights standing at the end of a cliff Nervously pacing Preaching the rhetoric Gospel of petty things To ignorant to battle with her crumbling mental state Heartbeat this just isn't me God knows she's coming 'round the bend He spends each day digging deeper a hole in the ground Transfixed on Sad truths in melodies Same simple running themes Fear of the buried things deep in his bloodstream Heartbeat Is this part of me It's simple to walk off and play pretend All Is Just Fine Lately I've been a fool Shot off my mouth again Now the walls are caving in Darling You tighten the noose On all the little things That let me breathe without you Passing time is a bearer of bad news and cryptic messages Defying the rhetoric Gospel of empty things Afraid of the violence that hides in my bloodstream Heartbeat is this part of me God knows I'm coming 'round the bend Man your guns for a long night Tilting at windmills for the last time It's simple to walk off put your head in the sand All Is Just Fine Lately I've been a fool Shot off my mouth again Now the walls are caving in Darling You tighten the noose On all the little things That let me breathe with out you (x2)

Madeline stood in the front door screaming at me It's four in the morning "Just where the fuck you been!!" With a gasping breath I screamed "I DON'T KNOW" If never means never then where the hell'd you go Finally I'll admit You were right These old bones are the worst I'm digging them up in the backyard Forgetting who my friends are These lines all sound rehearsed I'm battling demons nightly and pushing away from me It started to simple A seed planted in my brain (maybe you're right this time, don't push your luck this time) As love starts to snowball I'm fearing the avalanche (maybe you're right this time, don't push your luck this time) All the stones it took to build that wall All these fights (don't push your luck this time) Those empty nights (don't push your luck this time) All these fights (don't push your luck this time) The emptiness I knew as safe Finally I'll admit You were right These old bones are the worst I'm digging them up in the backyard Forgetting who my friends are These lines all sound rehearsed I'm battling demons nightly and pushing away from me Sadly I've fallen back again On my faulted sense of notoriety Oddly I failed to make amends With the ones who tried to break the way I see the world The ones who tried to crack my ribs and finally feel anything When the winds finally change I'm dropping anchor I'd rather die waiting Then make it to shore These old bones are the worst I'm digging them up in the backyard Forgetting who my friends are Day by day Song by song Broken bones Moving on

I remember staring through your window While your family circled 'round and prayed I could feel my gut twist in agony And my heartbreak staggered by the look upon your face I know this ain't the end Dig through all the evidence A chance, a hope, a providence Alone I'll stand Focus on simple plans Can I keep my hands busy and clean 'Cause you and me got it You and me got it When the rainstorm finally came Washed the mud away Singing you and me got it I was thinking back to mid December When I stood and pleaded on Peter's bridge She said take the leap and go Forget your body Think of home While I find some peace before I break the ice I know this ain't the end Dig through all the evidence A chance, a hope, a providence Alone I'll stand Focus on simple plans Can I keep my hands busy and clean 'Cause you and me got it You and me got it When the tides finally change We'll sail right off into better things Singing you and me got it You and me got it
