My Battery Is Low
and It’s Getting Dark

There’s a place 
where we’d go
Eternal warmth
Held inside
Here I go 
Frozen in time
It passes
Where we hide
Save me from this never ending 
(Painful suffering)

Stories told 
Pages worn from 
Tragedy
Reciprocating
Fabled days
Flourishing to come
Spring ever long 

Save me from this never ending 
(Painful suffering)

(Where I once was lost from)
Let’s get back to where we used to strive
(Push me away so often)
Fight for you til the day we die 
(I know you’re so distraught from)
losing your peace of mind
(Feeling the need to hide)
If you want me to stay 
You have to say it

Disappear from what you know 
Give into fear would be much better 
So hard to let you go 
Love lost, drowning at sea 

Completely breaking it seems
When you go don’t forget me
I bid you a fond goodmorrow
As we lose ours to sorrow

Hindsight

Underhanded 
(no surprise that this has faded)
facade
(True colors show through your thick skin)
your design 
Weathered  
(Pitted coarse from sands of time)
Letter
Lost in 
(Withering and listing wayward)
The Wind

Yeah, you hate to see it go 
But you cannot let that show
So, close the door, turn out the lights
Pull down the blinds, everything will be alright

Write it all off (write it all off)
Write it all off (write it all off)
Like it never existed  (write it all off)
Like something was missing (write it all off)

there are some things I know you wish you could change
You put the past in the rearview
and it’s time to turn the page
There are some feelings you might need to rearrange 

Every night another pursuit, or a different stage

For What It’s Worth

so lets say, that what comes after
is too much to bear, to hold on to.
now lets take your pills for laughter
balance the chemicals to 
remedy your mood.
and i’m sorry if i don’t know anymore
to be sure of something, 
when i’m not sure of anything?

how do i make the right decision?
when it means contemplating 
unplugging you
hold a straight face, but my heart is twitching
i feel uncomfortable in a comfortable room

and i’m sorry that i dont know anymore
to be sure of something when i’m not sure of anything
to be honest there’s no answer 
that I can give
to bring solace to your broken 
heart and mind. 

so I’ll lie.

well everything is fine.
we’re going home tonight, you’ll be alright
we’re only fighting time,
two hands behind the glass.
you’ll be just fine
 
when the curtain closes a final time, will you be still?

cuz i don’t have it in me now
to fight with you to find your will again
i hope you can forgive me
but for what its worth, i’ll try

you tell me to believe in god
so i can find you in the afterlife
i told you i dont think like that
for what its worth, i’ll try

Emerald Eyes

Well, I’ve been drinking
To drown you out
And I’ve been thinking
This feels so different now

Hey emerald eyes
I got lost in your lies
And I traced the lines
Back to where you left me behind
But there’s something that
Still holds you down
Like an anchor

Well, I’ve been driving
All through the night
And I’ve been trying
To get you off my mind

Hey emerald eyes
I got lost in your lies
And I traced the lines
Back to where you left me behind
But there’s something that
Still holds you down
Like an anchor

If we keep taking steps back
How can we ever move forward?
With every canvas that you painted black
My patience grew shorter

How can we without color?

It’s too easy to live in black and white
It’s too easy to live in black and white

Maple Drive

Well you might as well relax
Cause we’re going nowhere
Till we find a way to get
Our feet back on the ground

With all my things in a suitcase
Packed it up walked away with the wrong taste
In my mouth, down my throat, through the bloodstream
Always think I’m in the right til the wrong thing

Come along and take the wheel
Down the same damn road
I travel down once or twice a year
Depending how red my eyes

Depending how red my eyes

Depending how red my eyes

Get from the thought of leaving
This state of mind, I cannot find it
Maple drive is not much further
I can’t walk and this tires busted

Better yet we can sit in the asphalt
Close your eyes and pretend it’s not hot out
Reminisce of the past where you grew up
Burn your hand while you wait for the memories

We never grew up
Our body’s just got bigger

We never grew up
Our body’s just got bigger

Older, wiser (we never grew up)
I’ll never be (our bodies just got bigger)
I’ll never be

Older, wiser (we never grew up)
I’ll never be (our bodies just got bigger)
I’ll never be

Old Friends

Shaken is my willpower in this fight
But I keep driving on
Street lights and water
Out of the corner of my eye
But I keep driving on

These past few days have torn away

These past few days I’ve been on a binge
I guess I’m not in the right state of mind
Lately I’ve been stuck in a bind
And I’ve done some things
That would make you cringe

We’re getting older now
And all our friends are leaving town
I’m not myself when I’m alone
Tell mom I’m coming home

We’re getting older now
And all our friends are leaving town
I’m not myself when I’m alone
Tell mom I’m coming home

These past few days have gone to waste

These past few days I’ve been on a binge
I guess I’m not in the right state of mind
Lately I’ve been stuck in a bind
And I’ve done some things
That would make you cringe

It’s hard to accept
That the golden years
Have passed us by
They’ve passed us by

I’ve convinced myself
That I’ve been living a lie
They’ve passed us by (a lie)
They’ve passed us by

Its hard to accept
That the golden years
Have passed us by
They’ve passed us by
