Empty Rooms (demo)
02:48
|
|||
|
And we’ll lay down on our backs
Where the walls meet and the cracks
Grow deeper in our hearts
Deeper in our hearts
And everything that you’ve ever known
Will make you ache
Will make you scream
Will make you feel so damn alone
And my father he once said
That every day the son will set
And rise again from a different point
Point of view
I swear its the last time that I
Will ever speak your name
Cause everytime I do
My heart burst right up into flames
And empty rooms echo with all the things
We’ll never say
They collapse into a tomb
And bury both of us away
They collapse into a tomb
And bury both of us away
Life keeps moving on
And on
And on

Perfectly defeated now
And my words out pace the sounds
They need for me to sing them out
Because I spend all of my spare time
Thinking about the world in rhymes
Writing songs about a memory of a feeling
That I will never know
That I will never know
You don’t owe me a goddamn thing
I’ll tell you everything that you
Want to hear when you’re alone
Crying on the telephone
Allison, Allison
Do you think we have it in
Us, to forgive
The people we have been
And I said I was alright
A thousand goddamn times
But it never made a difference
And I said that you were right
A thousand goddamn times
But it never made a difference

Willow (demo)

I swear that I won't forget you now
But regret's the kind of thing that always
leaves me wondering how
All the choices that I've made
come with outcomes all the same
and all the missteps that we take
are slowly driving me insane
With every second guess
I left my words more meaningless
And they just hung in the air
Like leaves on willow trees out where
We let the summer heat pass
While we talked, laying in the grass
I still remember the last
Words that I ever asked you
Do you think of me fondly? (Do you think of me fondly?)
Do you think of me often? (Do you think of me often?)
We fell in love at the wrong time (We fell in love at the wrong time)
Turns out love may be unkind (Turns out love may be unkind)
I know
You're not alone
But there's a little part of me that wishes
You were
So we'd have that much in common now
One less thing for me to lose sleep about
Letter: "Dear redacted, I intend to write this all out in one shot so forgive any mistakes I may stumble through. It also happens to be drizzling a bit, so hopefully the ink doesn't smear too much. I'm sitting along the bay into the river thames, and it's cold as fuck here, though I'm sure it's not much better back home but I suppose I should start to get to the point. The past few years have been nothing short of insane. I've met a ton of great people, but so far you're the biggest heart and the most open mind. Some of the weirdest shit in my life has happened, and it leads me to think oh i wish you were here or wow i miss you. This trip has been one of the most crazy amazing fucked up things I've ever done, but I still miss you like hell. You will always be one of if not the closest friend I have. "

Riptide (demo)
03:56
|
|||
|
And we all grow in time to know
The feelings hiding down below
Like what lies beyond the great unknown
Equal parts the reapers, and the sewn
You pull me under like a riptide
Underneath the Atlantic Ocean waves
Why do I even wonder if we’re ok?
When we’re already resting
In our watery graves
I’ll scream in silence as water fills my lungs
You weigh me down like the anchor you’ve become
Underwater, with no feeling
Treading water for no reason
Life rafts come too little, too late
There’s nothing left for us to say
You pull me under like a riptide
Underneath the Atlantic Ocean waves
Why do I even wonder if we’re ok?
When we’re already resting
In our watery graves
Lately I’ve been feeling anxious
Lately I’ve been feeling empty
No screams for help could reach us
There’s no solid ground beneath us
My skies turn black when you’re around
There’s no hope for us to be found
You’re the millstone around my neck
And we’re quickly pulling down
Quickly pulling down
Quickly pulling down

Elizabeth (demo)

She arched her back
Down on the rails
In the town where we both met
She said close your eyes
And hold me tight
And we’ll pray that we’ll both die tonight
And we’ll make believe
That we’re in heaven
While we’re demons on the run
And we’ll paint the town in red and black
In the names our parents wanted us to have
And I heard her voice
Down on the street
While I lay face down in my room
And she screamed my name
Inside my head
But I never saw her face
She said the city it moves
Like a beating heart
As the cars roll down on broad street
And the people their phones
They ring off the hook
But they never hear a damn thing
And so she drove me down
To the edge of the parkway
Where we fell in love
And we emptied the fuel out of her gas tank
And poured it on the ground
She said lets burn this fucking town down

Xmas Eve (demo)
04:14
|
|||
|
And we all burn through our brightest days
Like a summer’s night or a passing train
That’s just another thing kind of hard to
Find the strength to remind you
I hate to say it but
I can’t pray that you
Won’t end up alone
When your heart gives out
When your heart gives out
I can’t say that you
Did all that you could do
But your time ran out
But your time ran out
With all your gifts laid out
On the floor all around
As your breath left your tired lungs
And you stumbled to the ground
With all the words that you never said
With all the words that you never said
I can’t pray that you
Won’t end up alone
When your heart gives out
When your heart gives out
I can’t say that you
Did all that you could do
But your time ran out
But your time ran out
I can’t pray that you
Won’t end up alone
When your heart gives out
When your heart gives out
I can’t say that you
Did all that you could do
But your time ran out
But your time ran out

Teenager (demo)
02:56
|
|||
|
Now all that's left is ash
That's all that's there to prove that
You were even here since you left
The rut we dug for ourselves
Was almost six feet deep
So now I guess I can see
Just why you had to leave
Our home became an urn
holding the ashes of our past selves
since those bridges were burned
Blustery winds from your ice cold
Shoulder-led turn
If home is where the heart is
and it's been replaced
Then what does that say about my
former space
My memories have fuzzed and now they're just a trace
If anything tell me how far they've come to fad
Time and distance they
are one in the same
They serve to cut again and again
They serve to separate.

Stratford (demo)

Dagger, bloody dagger
Please fill the void inside my chest
Cause the poison I’ve been drinking
Has left me reckless and a mess
So we’ll sleep here tonight
And we’ll lie through our teeth
For the rest of our lives
Our lives, our lives, our lives
With broken bones and hollow lives
We’ll drink away our paint tonight
Tonight
As soon as I realize
That it’s too late to see them fading away
Away
Your name is a plague
I swear it’s true
It curses everything you do
So tell me can you see those ghosts
That hover all around you
You’re not a lord
You’re not a king
You’re hardly much of anything
Who knows what tomorrow’s fortune brings
But I doubt it’s your name “they” will sing
I’ve had enough of these winter months
The snow can just bury us
Until we can’t see the sun rise
Until there’s nowhere left for us to hide
From here
It happens every single fucking year
So I’ll stay, inside
Dreaming of our lives in better times
With broken bones and hollow lives
We’ll drink away our paint tonight
Tonight
As soon as I realize
That it’s too late to see them fading away
Away

Glass (demo)
04:03
|

|
Hey little sister can you see those strings
That prop up all of your new friends
The rhythm of your heart beat skips in time
And you find words lose their meaning
And in the evening hours at your desk
Find comfort in the poems of a dead man
You’ve lost your taste for fashionable friends
And you’re alone now
And ink stains the page
With all the words you couldn’t say
Any time I pick you up I could shelve you away
But we’ll speak inside my head almost every single day
And we’ll find its getting harder
And we’ll find its getting harder
And we’ll find its getting harder
And we’ll find its getting harder
To breathe with lungs made of glass
To breathe with lungs made of glass
To breathe with lungs made of glass
To breathe with lungs made of glass

Modern Man (cut demo)
01:04
|

|
And I walked all alone
Thinking bout the things you said to me
Because the weight of your words
sitting on my chest made it hard to breathe.
And the bruises under my eyes
And the blood dripping down my cheek
The next morning, the perfect reminders
of all the friends that I don't need
So please forgive me
When I stop listening
And if you're happy
Don't worry, when I go missing
I'm just tired of all your fucking shit

Ghost Sounds (demo)
04:12
|
|||
|
Shattered sounds upon my windowsill
Tell me that it’s my time to leave
Broken glass inside my head
Is all I have to wish that you were dead
Wish that you were dead too
To wish that you were dead too
All my friends are dead too
And now I, can really see you
For what you were to me
And what we meant to all of them
And I am alone tonight
But we are home
I can hear your voice in the walls
Of my mother’s home
Screaming out for pleasant dreams
From her aching bones
As if you didn’t know me
Anymore
It was the last I ever saw you
You walked away with your friends dog
You caught me hiding in the bathroom
Of an empty mental hospital
Where we could
Speak alone
And we heard each other’s voices
Ringing out inside our heads
I thought that I knew
That I knew
I could never see your face again
Because we were already dead
I can feel your knife
As its cutting up my side
Taking out my organs now
So you can feel alright
And you’ll hang your dirty laundry
So you can save the time
On pointless conversations
Where you forget your lines
