The Silence it Exploded when You stopped noticing I happen to be afraid
My atonement it was welcomed with mild hesitance
So I guess I'll lay out my mistakes
Like a Phony Gun I am holding You up with a sense of Revenge
And like I told You, Son there is nothing for You at the end ever since
Like a Phony Gun I am holding You up with a sense of Revenge
I'll recite this like I wrote it back when it mattered most
So don't twist it up too tight
Spend a penny where I owe it 'cause I ain't missin' sense
Collect your Winnings You know You're right
Like a Failing Lung I am Filling You up with a sense of regret
I may not be The One but Im standing right here in the end, Heaven Sent.
Like a Failing Lung I am Filling You up with a sense of Regret
You tear down Your Crimes to take a bite out of Mine
You didn't think I'd notice just how broad the load is
Like a Phony gun I am holding You up with a sense of revenge
and if I hold my tongue You'll be swimming away in a sea of resent
Like a Phony gun I am holding You up with a sense of Revenge

Death & Taxes

three whole years since I've been to this place
between the lines I bent
good times we spent not feeling my face
good riddance to the plans that we had made
while collapsing lungs in basements create a disgrace
well, the fact is: death & taxes
you're no one's darling anymore
they tried so hard to change the score
if I'm on my own, that much is fine
but I can't decide if I'm on my way out
it's funny how fast a decade can pass
when you spend it all walking around with your eyes and ears shut
half in the bag; one foot in an early grave
if this ain't big enough for both of us
you be alone, and I'll be brave
well, the fact is: death & taxes
you're no one's darling anymore
they tried so hard to change the score
if I'm on my own, that much is fine
but I can't decide if I'm on my way out
strange how fast your memories pass
when you use 'em making sure that your eyes remain shut
dispose of the trash, savor what can be saved
so if this ain't big enough for both of us
you be alone, and I'll be brave
well, the fact is: death & taxes
you're no one's darling anymore
they tried so hard to change the score
if I'm on my own, that much is fine
but I can't decide if I'm on my way out

Something More

You're so Unsure of the next few days
How can You be certain of an Ending
Hiding out like You're planning an Escape
From the moment that you wake
Unlucky Numbers that could make You cry
Couple wrong moves down got You wondering if You'll Survive
Time keeps ticking right away
So Separate from separation
A Compromise I make
So Far Gone Can I handle Something Else?
Revive and Shake Yourself Awake
We're Wrung Out Can We Reach a Higher Self?
Or Lie through every Breath You Take
Your Tight Lipped During Conflict
The Lord knows You Better Come Correct
Burn Through Evenings like Cigarettes
When You're Dead Stuck on Your Easy Ways
Take Your Time With the Casualties
Making Beds Just so You can sleep with Your Enemies
And follow them into a Hole
Clear Your Mind wash away The Fool
Realize You're the One who has always set the Rules
Keeping any Wolves at Bay
So Celebrate Your Resignation from the Lies
That You Spewed to me
And I know You've been told You've been going the Right Way
And I know You've been told, All along You've been riding the Right Train
And I know You've been Told
All Along
All Alone
So Far Gone Can I handle Something Else?
Revive and Shake Yourself Awake
We're Wrung Out Can We Reach a Higher Self?
Or Lie through every Breath You Take
Your Tight Lipped During Conflict
The Lord knows You Better Come Correct
You got it All but You search for Something More
And More, and More, and More
And More, and More, And...

Can't Ignore It

I’ll learn again how to say one more whiskey
how to lose one more friend in the end
I’ll learn again not to wrap my head around it
pretend I never found it here to begin with
oh my, I’m a rolling stone
and I’ll be rolling away till the day you call me in
won’t you call me in?
I get a feeling overwhelmed by regret
where I’ve been, who I’ve met; can’t ignore it
then I look down and I accept all this mess
do I dare to confess I adored it?
now there’s a winding sound in my ears
with the windows down, our heads leaning out
can you feel that?
we can hardly speak, so we find no need
just increase the speed
can you feel that?
cold, dark, lonely road
it’s been narrowing in since the day I told myself
no one else could help
I get a feeling overwhelmed by regret
where I’ve been, who I’ve met; can’t ignore it
then I look down, and I accept all this mess
do I dare to confess, I adored it?
and I look down- it’s all around
subtleties I'm ignoring
why don’t we celebrate this cold time in hell?
maybe I'm not the man that you think
buried thoughts under drink
through the night till that light comes creeping in
hide the soul, I don’t want you to know
so I make it, I can make it
I get a feeling overwhelmed by regret
where I’ve been, who I’ve met; can’t ignore it
then I look down, it’s all around
subtleties I'm ignoring
