Handgun
03:07

Your love tastes like the last meal on death row
breathing in and out, around we go
forget about motives, forget about futures forgotten
the only lines left are the lies we've been caught in
You've got no reason to hold me down
we've got no time to mess around
'Cause I've got a handgun
do you want to see me load it up?
A black bullet casing for a black hardened heart
the words from your mouth rip my flesh apart
promises broken, and promises unkept
lie like sheets on the bed where we slept
This tension eats at my bones
don't smile as you leave me here to fracture
without faith in myself
I face this barrel alone

Changes
03:27
|

|
It's hard to focus on the way things end
but I've heard they do
when I awoke, my sheets were cold
with the memory of you
I guess you warned me you may not be around forever
I just thought that less than forever could be longer than this
I keep thinking about these changes
I know that you and me, we hate to be alone
I keep thinking about these changes
I hope the road to leave just leads you right back
I get notes and little letters
sent with no return address
And in the middle of the night
I call you up just to hear your breath
But our love is stronger than paper or wire
these mediums, they tuck me in with a mediocre embrace
I can't promise you things will be different
I only know how to be who I am
Another sleepless night
clinging to a TV set
swimming in an ocean of self doubt
beside an island of regret
My arms are tired, but I've got to keep my head above these waves
just in case you change your mind and come to save me
I keep thinking about these changes
I know that you and me, we hate to be alone
I keep thinking about these changes
I hope the road to leave just leads you right back home

Requiem
03:03
|

If you write the story
I'll write the requiem
and you can paint it red
with all my mistakes
and commitments fled
requiem
And even if I'm not right
I'd like to be remembered as something other than wrong
My pain grips a bottle
with a steady hand
and then lets it land
as a bomb built of glass
and shattered happiness
requiem
And even if I'm not right
I'd like to be remembered as something other than wrong
and when stars shine too bright
they're swallowed up by the persistence of night
I can see her smiling
I can see that he's not doubting himself
And even if I'm not right
I'd like to be remembered as something other than wrong
and if I turn out my light
it's 'cause my heart has been telling me that I just don't belong
If you write the story
I'll write the requiem
and you can paint it red

Look Deep Inside
03:08
|
|||
|
A blank canvas centered in a darkening room
she sits in the corner feeling alone
but she doesn't know, I feel the same
with a guitar, blank piece of paper, and nothing to say
Baby, look deep inside
you know what you've got
you're just afraid to try
baby, look deep inside
Sick of staring at my blank mind on paper
decide to give her a call
Say "Oh no. I can't take it
I can't stay here alone
I need you, I need you so
send some inspiration through the phone"
She says "look deep inside
you know what you've got
you're just afraid to try
baby, look deep inside"
Later on
when she's lying in my arms
I can feel the distance
she says "these days
nothing is secure
and nothing in certain
so how can I lay here
wrapped in your comfort
when I'm so unsure?"
But I say "baby, look deep inside
you know what you want
you're just afraid to cry
baby, look deep inside
you know what we've got
you're just afraid to try"

Anchor
03:23
|

|
She says it's the little things
that make life miserable
and who am I to argue
I've been biting my tongue for weeks
to keep from screaming
from the sting of papercuts
hopeless seems to reign supreme
over the buzz of neon light
as she stands alone in crisis
I've got all I need
to keep from drowning
but I can't break the chains
that hold the anchor
to her soul
So what do you say
to a friend whose life is slipping away?
you have my love
And she says remember me
remember who I was
forget me as I am
forget what I've become
forget what I've become
As I bow my head
to say goodnight
she says it's always been dark
on the inside of her mind

Abby, I Know
03:18
|

|
Abby, I know
you've been hurt before
this time I want you to dull your defenses
and sharpen your senses
to my touch upon your chin
pulling you in for more
Abby, I know
it's been only a few days
since that night when we met
and I kissed you in front of the drumset
as it roared
and you pulled me in for more
I don't have an inclination to let you go
but it weighs on my mind
that after such little time
I don't think that I could
Abby, I know
it's never the right time
to fall for a guy
that could be hiding lies
behind a friendly smile
but that's not who I am this time
I've been 'round this silly world
and you could say I've known my share of girls
but how many more times
could I feel nothing and let it ride
I want to feel every inch of you
and hope that someday
you'll be glad you found me too
and maybe you'll say
I don't have an inclination to let you go
but it weighs on my mind
that after such little time
I don't think that I could

Whiskey Reggae
03:35
|

|
Spent 100 days in Georgia
spent 100 days in Tennessee
soaking up everything they offered me
sunshine and whiskey
And even though I've been to Mexico
I've been to New Orleans
something about those white picket fences
and blonde girls in blue jeans
Whiskey reggae
take me home
whiskey reggae
Another week another drunken binge it seems
I've got my latest love beside me
Last call on my last night in this place
I think I'd like another whiskey
My high hits as the band reclaims the stage
and the people feel that kick drum
reggae music and the screaming lead guitar
if you're pouring drinks, I need one

Pills
03:41
|

|
Sarah, it's late now
you should be heading to bed soon
your darkness falls like ashes but I'm immune
the sighs and frowns that
make up our conversation
communicate nothing
nothing but frustration
with me, with you
I wait downstairs in silence
waiting for you to fall
into a deep sleep
so that we don't have to talk
I tuck in slowly
careful not to wake you
our backs turned as if we've
forgotten what's at stake
with me, with you
You've been so quiet now
for months on end
waiting for the doctor's remedies to mend
your broken heart, your broken soul
and if these pills can't make you smile
I think I'll die
I wake to your body
shaking in fear
the pain in your voice is
all too sincere
I suddenly realize
your skin has been slit
ever so softly
she says I've had it
with me, with you
You've been so quiet now
for months on end
I'm waiting for the doctor's remedies to mend
my broken heart, my broken soul
and if these pills can't make me smile
I think I'll die
