Evergreen

There's a beautiful world to be seen
Tall as the trees and ever so evergreen
I know i'm not the only one
Who finds this to be
And while times may be cloudy
And you sense the storm coming
Underneath is that beautiful evergreen
Forever blooming
And I know you feel the world implode
But you will never slow
Roll on, be my rock
Allow yourself to grow
And if you don't wanna stay alive
For anyone else or me
Please just do this for
The beautiful evergreen
I've been there many times my friends
Where you feel like nothing more than a mere speck
On a lovely
Dandelion
But know this to be true
You are a rare species
And I want to watch you
Bloom
And I know you feel the world implode
But you will never slow
Roll on, be my rock
Allow yourself to grow
And if you don't wanna stay alive
For anyone else or me
Please just do this for
The beautiful evergreen

Cold Hands
04:09

You've given me the option to
Face my addictions or be with you
And the chasers will chase me
Until my face turns blue
Please trust me
I'd give it all up if I could
I'd rather spend evenings holding you
Than walking in a drunk state through our neighborhoods
It's like you never want to see me
When there's the scent of whiskey on my breath
Though I cannot blame you because i'm not your love
I'm your cluster fuck
But i'd put down the bottle
For just one more chance
To feel your fingers intertwined in these cold hands
These cold hands
You know I really love you
Even when you stumble through the door at three in the morning
Soaked in a cocktail
Of all your favorite drinks
I'm afraid you're going to need some help
For the issues in which you blame yourself
But remember this you are not weak
You are perfect and always will be me to me
And I would pick you up a hundred more times
Just please for the love of god don't walk this late outside
What if you got into a fight
Or a street car were to advance
Because i'll never know
When it will be my last chance
To hold those lovely cold hands
Those cold hands

Side Character

I woke up in your bed
Then you soon left
You said I was a drunken mistake
But my only intoxication was your beauty and grace
I'm sorry that I did not look the part for which you wanted me to play
I'm just another side character in this movie
One that would never get the girl
Despite her being his whole world
Even if it was just a brief moment
I was hers to hold she knows it
My knees will buckle and bend
If she crosses my mind again
I'm sorry that I did not look the part for which you wanted me to play
I'm just another side character in this movie
One that would never get the girl
Despite her being his whole world

You've Put Me Through
04:53

I hope you feel this through your speakers
I hope the words trickle in
I hope with every piercing note
I find a new way under your skin
You are a sea without a current
You are a car without the gas
In other words you are pointless
I hope this verse doesn't hit you too fast
And I never thought
I'd be writing such a negative song about you
But it's the only way I've been able to cope
With all you've put me through
I hope you tell your churches preachers
That you have committed a sin
I hope they place their upon that dark black heart
I hope you feel my grin
You've brought the heavy artilery
And I've a heart that's bulletproof
Yet you continue to
Set your sights on me
And I never thought
I'd be writing such a negative song about you
But it's the only way i've been able to cope
With all you've put me through

What You've Come to Fear
03:10
|

|
You know, after all this time i've finally come to realize that this has all come to fruition
I'll have to apply a kick start to my broken heart to finally complete my mission
Of forgetting you
And all the rotten evil things you do
You broke me like a glass bottle and then turned that brokenness around to use as a weapon
And my heartache
My heartbreak doesn't matter
For in the end
I am stronger than this
Because I have a heart
For everyone but you
It will echo in your ear drums
I assume
As you listen to
The beat beat of my heart continue
You will be asked a question in the form of why did you do
This?
It's okay if you use me like a doormat
Crushing the carpet into your souls
I know that the world is brighter than it's ever been
Always much to your chagrin
You realize I didn't need you
Somehow that thought in completes you
Breaking apart every part of my heart and then crushing again in your bare hands
And while I fear the typical things like airplanes and bugs with wings
You fear the trivial things like the though of me still breathing
Well guess what i'm here to stay
Much to your dislike or pain
And i'll keep writing my songs and playing my chords
And you'll keep stringing others and being bored
Because let's face it out of the two of us only one will change and i'm the one who falls under that name
And i'm not sorry
Good god i'm not sorry
Because I have a heart
For everyone but you
It will echo in your ear drums
I assume
As you listen to
The beat beat of my heart continue
You will be asked a question in the form of why did you do
This?

Dragging Me Down
03:47
|
|||

Dragging me down once again
I am my only true friend
In this lonely place
Where not a soul knows my face
You've got to help me see
Help me remember what's right in front of me
For I am not myself
I feel like someone else
Help me please there's a snake that's wrapping itself around me
In turn I am getting no chance to breath
It sinks its teeth into me
I will allow the poison to flow through my veins
Bringing me down once again
Is the feeling of dread
Fix me up doctor please
I need some sweet release
Please tell me
Everything will be complete
And that my pain will have an end
Please pretend
Help me please there's a snake that's wrapping itself around me
In turn I am getting no chance to breath
It sinks its teeth into me
I will allow the poison to flow through my veins

The clouds will always clear at the end of this rainy day
I look at you and I see a broken face
But I promise you please listen to me
Your clouds will clear today
And what's a good day without a little rain
Otherwise it would all feel the same
I promise you it will all be okay
Your clouds will clear the end of this rainy day
My heart cries for those who do not know
The conditions are only temporary away they will blow
But this existence was not met for any of us to be filled with pain
So that's why I say
Your clouds will clear today
I promise you will no longer feel pain
Please don't disregard what I sing
Please stay alive for me

Young Lions

We were star crossed lovers
Engaged in a gaze that was broken up upon a sentiment that the only thing we needed was each other
Forgetting one another
And holding our very lively hood in both hands that were filled with sand
And they were cut up as the sand kept pouring in
Ill rub it in to my open wounds
Just to make sure nothing would have happened to you
And honestly
You took me like a wallet
Stuffed it deep inside your pocket and allowed the coins dust and bills to fall out of it
Once again I was not worth it
You and I both knew it
The price on my head did not fit the bills that you had taken
For darling I was more than aware of the life we were making
And unfortunately it was mine for the taking
Because in a last ditch effort we threw ourselves to an idea that blurred the lines you and I are walking on currently
And in that timing I ditched our carcasses to the wolves while taking stroll on the path of uncertainty
And baby I'd say I'm sorry again but the words are played out to the point where the phrase no longer has a meaning to it
We are young heartless lions our hearts tossed into a raging fire pit
But I'd do anything again just to see you not be broken up
And to somewhat maybe facade myself
Into thinking i'm not the reason behind it
You and I both knew it
The price on my head did not fit the bills that you had taken
For darling I was more than aware of the life we were making
And unfortunately it was mine for the taking

Your Heart is an Echo
02:55
|

Your heart is an echo
That bears a heavy load
I hear its subtle cries
While getting caught in the crossroads
Of walking the line
To safety and no fear
But I can walk there with you
I promise you my dear
And I mean it all this time
Ill help you walk through the lines
Of fire thats been buring you
Please just don't misconstrue the way my heart cries for you
Too
My heart is a shadow
That likes to pretend its very bold
Its broken up into short pieces
Small enough to hold
In your bony hands
The ones that used to hold mine
And I promise if you'd hear me
I wouldn't waste your time
And ill mean it every time
Your gem eyes lock onto mine
You will no longer live in fear
I promise you my dear

I took a walk in the rain tonight
I saw the glow of your headlights
You asked if I needed a ride
And I said no but you made me get in your car
Because you couldn't bare to see me soaked
Without a coat
We went back to your place
Then with one kiss you gave me hope
And honestly I hope this downpour never ends
I want to be where we spend
The rest of our time
I want both of our lips to be forever intertwined
You held me in your arms tonight
You kept me safe from the harm of the lighting
We say we should sleep soon
But there will be no slumber
Because we will never feel more at home than
When were in the presence of one another
And honestly I hope this never ends
I hope the downpour continues
For the rest of our loves
I want your lips to forwcer place upon mine
Just please remember that I'm yours

Twelve Feet Deep
03:39

Ill let the tide wash over me
Ill bathe myself in this never ending sea
The task ahead
It'll bend it'll break me
And ill just keep trying to find a sign
One that you possibly left behind
We know these wounds will not heal with time
But with reason
And I feel like I'm digging a hole
That's twelve feet deep
But ill keep searching
For the piece you took of me
I've served my sentance and ive made my plea
But the world will use fresh cleats to walk all over me
Although battered and bruise
I will stand undefeated
Because this wouldn't be the first time
That I've felt so down
And it wont be the last time I have to pick myself up off the ground
And each time I do
I feel more light come through
And I will get out of this hole
That's twelve feet deep
And it doesn't matter if I find that piece because
I am free
