The Things That You Love

The things that you love
Only shine in the sun
When gold flakes like dust
It’s just never enough
Collecting stones that have no purpose
Tucked away beneath the surface
Finding solace in the space between the glass and closing curtains
Were we too late?
There’s never time for being selfish
Will we be okay?
It’s just never enough
The things that you love
Watching heaven sing without us
The lake we swam too much
Held the boats but tried to drown us
A distant echo
A graceful mistake
A vision of angels
Through the eyes of a snake
Were we too late?
Is it so wrong to be selfish?
Will we be okay?
It’s just never enough
The things that you love
Watching heaven sing without us
The lake we swam too much
Held the boats but tried to drown us
The things that you love
Only shine in the sun
When gold flakes like dust
It’s just never enough

Out of Reach

All of the things that I hated buried the knife in my head
And spilled my thoughts on the pavement
Let it soak through the surface
For what it’s worth, I think I’m finding out why the sky’s still grey
I read the words but somehow I still make the same mistakes
Wait for the moments after
Getting lost in the conversation
Bend your bones and count your fractures
The garden aches but it keeps on growing
Separate your shadow
Keep it out of reach
Testing my patience
Is it worth the pain
If it isn’t important
Leave it behind
Colors blur
I think I’m finding out why it loses shape
I read the words but somehow I still make the same mistakes
Wait for the moments after
Getting lost in the conversation
Bend your bones and count your fractures
The garden aches but it keeps on growing
Separate your shadow, keep it out of reach
Separate your shadow, keep it out of reach
Wait for the moments after
Getting lost in the conversation
Bend your bones and count your fractures
The garden aches but it keeps on growing
Separate your shadow
Keep it out of reach

As Good As It Gets

Same old lungs breathing nothing while my legs give up
Embracing all my bad luck
Maybe I'll fade into the afternoon
Forget me not, forget me soon
I keep a halo balanced on my head
I pray with hands I use to bury the dead
And it hurts to know I'm trying my best
While I'm staring into the end
Is this as good as it gets?
How much more time should be spent?
Maybe these days won't last
(Maybe my bones will turn black)
Cold stare to the ceiling and back
(I heard you whisper)
And it hurts to know I'm trying my best
While I'm staring into the end
Is this as good as it gets?
Same old lungs breathing nothing
Legs give up and I feel nothing
Same old songs that meant something
They meant something
(Maybe these days won't last)
And it hurts to know I'm trying my best
(Cold stare to the ceiling and back)
While I'm staring into the end
(Maybe these days won't last)
And it hurts to know I'm trying my best
(Cold stare to the ceiling and back)
Is this as good as it gets?
(I heard you whisper)

No Place

The trouble I’m making
We’ve made it together
When visits in day dreams
This place goes on forever
Bury me in my stone heart
A dreamer's eyes never seemed so dull
Where do wanderers die when they have no place left to run?
It never bothered you
That I was so far away
And if you asked me to
I’d have left home that day
An empty party
Leave when no one is watching
An empty body
Is it a dream if it still haunts me?
Stare at the sun
A lover's eyes never seemed so numb
Where do cowards die when they have no place left to run?
It never bothered you
That I was so far away
And if you asked me to
I’d have left home that day
If it’s the same to you
Then we can stay this way
But if you asked me to
I’d have left home that day

Cross Your Fingers

We’re choking up
Grip the veins, turn and pull away
We open up
Fix the frame or throw it all away
You can’t blame it on bad luck
It’s only you and what you’ve done
You can’t blame it on bad luck
It’s only you and what you’ve done
Take my body far away, take away my name
(Forget my face, an empty space)
Silver linings never fade, but they aren’t meant to stay
(They never stay, they never)
Take my body far away, take away my name
(Forget my face, an empty space)
Silver linings never fade, but they’re not meant to stay
They never stay
You can’t blame it on bad luck
It’s only you and what you’ve done
You can’t blame it on bad luck
It’s only you and what you’ve done
Cross your fingers tight
Count your blessings twice
Cross your fingers tight
Cross your fingers tight
(Cross you fingers tight)
Count your blessings twice
(Count your blessings twice)
Cross your fingers tight
(Cross you fingers tight)
Count your blessings twice
(Count your blessings twice)
You can’t blame it on bad luck
It’s only you and what you’ve done
You can’t blame it on bad luck
It’s only you and what you’ve done
