Crutch To A Cane 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Waiting around only twice that you found It’s starting to sound the same Straight to the top all the no’s and the not’s They never went away Tied to a rope and I hope that you float It seems the only way There’s blood in my veins said the crutch to the cane It’s simple and plain Living aloud but you don’t make a sound When it comes time to say Keep it in line through those hard times And never walk away

Bring It On Home 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Your face is on the front page staring me down With weathered eyes and a weary crown The whole thing’s spinning me round The rolling of the wheels and a singing choir Lower me down, put it in the ground The whole thing’s wearing me down We bar the doors and lock the chains Pack your bags it leaves today The rhythm of a heartbeat pounding in time Swallow it up; you’re taking your time They can’t keep robbing you blind Tables start to turn like merry go-rounds Lips are moving but they don’t make a sound An earthquake’s splitting the ground We bar the doors and lock the chains Pack your bags it leaves today I’m born to live I live to die On and on and on I wonder why On and on the fire is gone We carry on we carry on Every time I see those eyes We wade along we wade along Bring it on home… We bar the doors and lock the chains Pack your bags it leaves today I’m born to live I live to die On and on and on I wonder why

Silverware For Soul 03:10
lyrics

Take me back somewhere Where I can write a wrong I had to steal the bread man Just to keep me in the run Maybe I was wrong Hold me down I’ll keep you hidden Half a life wasted Running from a law Time to make a trade-in Silverware for soul Maybe I was wrong Hold me down I’ll keep you hidden You break me down and you sell me out Hold me down cuz I’m not kidding Maybe I was wrong Hold me down I’ll keep you hidden You break me down and you sell me out Hold me down cuz I’m not kidding

They sat you down and they told you son You’d best be on your way Held you there and they ties your chair And told you what to say We’re breaking down open doors The smoke is rolling through the floors You break me down just to build me up And break me down again The second time that we’ve hit rewind I’ll see you at the end We’re breaking down open doors The smoke is rolling through the floors You told me once, you told me twice Then pushed me back again Cracks and burns and lessons learned Fortune washed away We’re breaking down open doors The smoke is rolling through the floors You’re biting on the words I say You turn around and walk away We’re breaking down open doors The smoke is rolling through the floors You’re biting on the words I say You turn around and walk away

Two Steps Back 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Little toy soldiers line the edges of this bath The bubbles always made me laugh I wish I was I wish I were I wish there was a one to find a cure Sit still, let’s laugh So take your photographs and the lessons that you’ve learned And pool the money that you’ve earned Cuz empty souls are wandering empty parking lots They come here more often than not It’s all the same when you have a void to fill It’s all the same when you’re looking for the kill Sit still, lay back, let’s laugh Sit still, lay back, let’s laugh It’s all the same when you have a void to fill It’s all the same when you’re looking for the kill Sit still, lay back, let’s laugh Sit still, lay back, let’s laugh And I know, that I will, come around

Vices 03:26
lyrics

I shook your hand and I begged your pardon Waiting around like you usually will The ship goes down with the men and bottles Waiting around like you usually will It took a while but you finally found one Hanging on and it’s your last breath waiting Say goodbye to your vices We’re going down and you’re the last one waiting again Slowly falling ‘til you hit bottom Water’s covering the window sill You put a letter inside a bottle Waiting around like you usually will It took a while but you finally found one Hanging on and it’s your last breath waiting Say goodbye to your vices We’re going down and you’re the last one waiting again

Level Out 03:59
lyrics

Waiting around for something Something you’ve never seen Wait a while, I’ll tell you what I mean Coming around at the sundown Hanging around by the sea The greatest thing no one’s ever seen Taken back by the silence The silence that you couldn’t read Four walls closing in on me Falling down like a ceiling Caving in like a dream Broken heart’s finally starting to bleed Waiting around for something Something you’re never seen Wait awhile, I’ll tell you what I mean My check mate..

Last Call 04:12
lyrics

Take me out or take me in Close the door let's see where this begins If it's ten to five or half past nine We don't need to see those hands tick It all seems to change When you're trying hard just to carve out a simple living Wait for a while Stand tall and take what you were given So take what you want from me The last round it comes for free Wait 'til the last one's gone Promise me that you won't be too long We've driven miles to see these smiles Tell me that you'll have me back again If it's ten to five or half past nine We don't need to see those hands tick It all seems to change When you're trying hard just to carve out a simple living Wait for a while Stand tall and take what you were given So take what you want from me The last round it comes for free Wait 'til the last one's gone Promise me that you won't be too long So take what you want from me The last round it comes for free Wait 'til the last one's gone Promise me that you won't be too long

You Know 03:05
lyrics

She broke you down but solace you found In doing the things that you know It came and went but I’m quite content In seeing where this goes When you know, you know, you know It’s finally starting to show When you know, you know, you know The hardest things is to go Got dressed put our heart in your chest And buttoned up your soul It’s far away and it’s out of sight We’re settling in for the night.. Think twice now you’re getting it right Finally walking alone Get down now you’re part of this town Never letting it go

Brother 03:38
lyrics

Tell me my brother why aren’t you like others They tell me you’re kind of a stray They say that you’re missing but not worth convincing Is everything going ok? I’ll never go back there again I said that I wanted to mend We sit on the back porch again Our time is wasting away Tell me my sister I know that you miss her I guess you were pretty good friends Sometimes I wonder just what put us under Is everything going ok? I’ll never go back there again I said that I wanted to mend We sit on the back porch again Our time is wasting away I’ve never been sadder to say I want you to go

See For Miles 02:42

Get it out, get it in Waiting on the right time ready to win What do you say, how do you do? Waiting for the right time ready to move Begging for the right time settling in Waiting at the back door letting me in What do you say, how do you do? Ready for the right time part of the groove How do you say, what do you do? Waiting for the right time ready to move Say goodbye another time Tag along, the by and by Get in line I can see for miles Moving on, my oh my Begging for the right time settling in Waiting at the back door letting me in What do you say, how do you do? Ready for the right time part of the groove How do you say, what do you do? Waiting for the right time ready to move Say goodbye another time Tag along, the by and by Get in line I can see for miles Moving on, my oh my

1905 03:21

Oh my it’s one of a kind Sitting up top and looking around again Let it begin Same time, it’s a flawed design Take a step back and bleed it out again Paper to pen My dime too many times Open up the box we’re starting over again Making amends Oh my it’s time to fly Take it to the top and see if we found a way Time to ascend The thrill of the ride in 1905 Won’t be matched again Reading between lines, untangling the vines A flower on the steam Taking to the sky, skimming the tree lines Lifting off again Watch it go

My Old Friend 03:51

Sorry my old friend This is where your story ends We’re flipping pages through With them nothing to do with you Kiss the sky I’ll kiss the sky if you don’t mind I’m gonna try until I die But I am so frustrated They called me overrated And here’s to you my dearest friend On your life my world depends Pictures don’t explain it So come on, illustrate it Sit down for a few We’re turning the tables right on queue People are talking again The same old story with a different end I’ll kiss the sky if you don’t mind I’m gonna try until I die But I am so frustrated They called me overrated And here’s to you my dearest friend On your life my world depends Pictures don’t explain it So come on, illustrate it

Fraggle 02:44
lyrics

Ren’s not ready to know That she found a little letter in his pocket And she’s not ready to go But he found something better and he got it The ordinary mind’s an extraordinary kind You’re trying so hard just to fit into the scene Ren’s not ready to know That she found a little letter in his pocket And she’s not ready to go But he found something better and he got it The ordinary mind’s an extraordinary kind You’re trying so hard just to fit into the scene And Ren’s not ready to knoooow… This song’s about the d-bag scene and their try hard lifestyles, doing anything to be big on their scene.. It’s about one couple both catching each other cheating. Not lyrically strong but that’s just what it is
