I can't stand it being alone,
And thats how I've been all night,
I miss you when you're gone,
And thats where you have been for a long long time,
I call you when its needed,
I call you when I can,
I'd call you if you'd let me every chance I get.
I can't believe I'm still thinking of you,
I know you're not thinking of me,
And I know that its not fair, theres no reason you should care,
And I don't know why I still do.
I don't think I even still know you,
But I'm stubborn and I'm weak,
I hide my tongue behind my teeth,
And I don't say a word to you.
How are you these days,
I bet you're glad you listened to you friends,
When they told you to stay away from me,
You live and learn so fast,
But I take my time with that,
Maybe in ten more years I'll be what you need.
She said don't come here looking for a fight,
Cause if you're looking you will find one.
She said you're unapologetic when you talk about her,
I want to love you but I aways get hurt,
And if you ask me then I would tell you,
I kinda lost it when you went away,
I try to trust you but I always get played,
And if I'm honest then you're a liar.

I Will Steal Your Fire

I'll take your love and hide it in a cave,
Retrace my steps and sweep them all away,
Cause I am neither confident or brave,
Enough to keep life within your veins.
I find my comfort in a cigarette,
I love you but I can bet,
That you don't need me,
Like I need you.
So I'll treat your body like a wishing well,
Hoping I'll get better but I can tell,
That you're losing your faith,
That I'll ever change.
And I will steal your fire.
Affirmations of the dullest kind,
Will calm your heart and ease your worried mind,
Your fears and thought disappear in time,
And peace will come when you close your eyes.
You Pour your life into a heart that leaks,
You try to fill but never will succeed,
And in the end both of us will be,
Empty.
And I will steal your fire if you let me.
I will steal your fire.

Please Stay With Me
04:33

I've been waiting for you for a long time,
You were my beautiful pastime,
And I've been walking the streets looking for something,
Wondering what I could be missing.
So I've been clearing out space in my closet for you,
And throwing out things that I'm not gonna use,
And I've been drawing up plans and picking out names,
And I figured you would be doing the same.
Now I can't think straight,
And you need your space.
So I've been pulling apart from the inside,
And I don't want to know what it feels like,
I've been shying away from my own mind,
And drowning my thoughts in my free time.
Now I can't think straight,
And you need your space,
But please stay with me,
Don't be far away.

A Lullaby For Insomniacs
03:19

Tilt your glasses steep,
And drain them if you're like me,
Filled up with apathy,
Worn out accepting defeat.
Concur if you're at home,
And you're getting drunk alone,
In front of the TV,
Stone faced and falling asleep.
Then smile cause this one's for you,
And the trouble you've gotten into,
The darkness you're still working through,
And the dialogue that's haunting you.
I'll tell them what they'd want to hear,
I'm an expert I've done this for years,
They say hurt people just keep hurting people,
And I've made my bed and I don't want to sleep in it.
Come back and keep me alive,
I won't touch you or look in your eyes,
We'll just lay here on our own separate sides,
Let me stay here and drift into night.

After Everything
03:46

I'm my mother's son and she gave me this heart,
And she gave me this drive and it tore me apart,
I'm my father's son and he gave me this rage,
And he gave up on caring and he threw me away.
In the quiet place I still can't find you,
And I call your name in the solitude,
But my appetites keep my thoughts in check,
And they beg for me to get over it.
But I don't give a damn about anything,
No I don't give a damn about anything,
No I don't give a damn about anything,
Anyone else does.
Well after everything I still feel the same,
And I asked for help but no help came,
So I'll take these pills lying here on the floor,
And I'll quiet my conscience till I can't feel anymore.
Till I don't give a damn about anything,
Till I don't give a damn about anything,
Till I don't give a damn about anything,
Anyone else does.
Its like I don't give a damn about anything,
No I don't give a damn about anything,
Its like I don't give a damn about anything,
Anyone else does.

Touched The Glass
02:34

Picking at the heart of me,
This place is a gallery,
I'm on display and everyones,
A critic of the art in me.
Wearing black to be respectful,
Don't look back and feel regretful,
I'm allowed to look and see,
Touched the glass was asked to leave.

Slow Down, Sunshine
02:38

Sometimes I think that it was better in the old days,
Maybe I just don't remember what it was like,
Maybe I have always been this way,
I think it over but I can't escape my mind.
Making music with my best friend in the basement,
Singing songs that we didn't really know,
I don't remember if I wrote this or if he did,
But I never thought that I'd be singing it alone.
Slow down,
Sunshine.
I'm saving pennies from the dollars that I'm spending,
Do you think that it could ever make a difference,
Sometimes I feel like I am drowning in my own sea,
I'm treading water but I'm never gonna come clean.
Slow down,
Sunshine.
