Dirge 04:17
Remember that night we compared our height we had a bit to drink & laughed & smiled & said goodbye We turned away not knowing that tomorrow would be the first day not to come I close my eyes, awake to tears I look away, knowing today I bury a memory Could have been me out there in the street or it could have been you walking home with me Stop myself and stare a while into a dark hallway that once was light, blows my mind Everything change I close my eyes, awake to tears I look away, knowing today I bury a memory

Killswitch 03:08
waiting for the rest of your words as i stop breathing i lie awake, my love surrounds the very thing we leave behind lay me down not so simple looking back, now i'm dealing with a body count let me drown in a dream this isn't real until she asks me if i'm happy now nothing can take us back now eight weeks and life's been turned around it's too late to throw the killswitch now but we've already swallowed lay me down not so simple looking back, now i'm dealing with a body count let me drown in a dream this isn't real until she asks me if i'm happy now

clock glance six, up and at em the girls have to work but the boys are up late see if we can have em quick flip through the list gather useless leads, luggage and age-old beauty queens you did this to me i break when there's no one there to take your place i fall away when you come home hang it up if you can't say i'm sorry don't come home, it's better this way sound of an empty room my song of need for you don't you dare walk through that door again without an apology i break when there's no one there to take your place i fall away when you come home hang it up if you can't say i'm sorry

Lost 05:21
your voice calls, whispers to me when words you choose, your words are words of peace your presence soothes me, sets me free i'm in you inspire and release oh i'm lost inside your mind i feel you here as i silence my mind your presence near as constant passing time the sand that falls falls on me, sets me free to create recall a love reality oh i'm lost inside your mind with these words you choose a deeper truth i find the walls disappear the elusive made clear in your eyes oh lost oh i'm lost inside your mind with each thought you choose a deeper joy i find

Candycane 03:34
barefeet in the grass she watches as i pass i turn around she looks away twinkle in her eyes the color of the skies i want to wrap my arms around her she's everything to me i'll bet she's 23 i know that she's the one i can't live without you dream about you all my life dancing in the rain i'm scared to tell her my name i just can't walk away comes to my show with a puppydog in tow i think she's beautiful i can't live without you dream about you all my life

just breathe if the light turns green then tomorrow you won't see me so here's your chance to say and nothing looks back except for my pride put the gun down and make some time time you've pushed away break down what are you waiting for get out of your way rain brings the obvious sings to my distress not as easy as it was the first time struggle with the daylight and complicate our nights break down what are you waiting for your light to change what are you waiting for, your light to change traded all this time a love i find to drive and live for all you push away break down what are you waiting for all you push away

Completely 04:44
tell me something i don't want to hear feel anything to clear the air kiss me i'm leaving don't stop grieving til i let you see you heaving feed you lies about boys and flies and time on my mind tell me something i already feel the pain endured you're so near kiss me i'm leaving don't stop grieving til i let you see you heaving feed you lies about boys and flies and time on my mind did you think i would leave you i could do nothing but love you nothing is real, nothing's true completely

Montana 04:14
i want to be your lucky star i want to know who you are i want to take you so far away i want to be with you today i want to make her go away i could love you that way without a light to show the way i can't believe that you would say we're not gonna make it test montana to see how far i could take her anyway i know you've been crying without a light to show the way i can't believe that you would say we're not gonna make it sometimes walking in the snow is more you know but know tonight it's just a walk home in the snow goodnight lover goodnight friend tonight is just midwinter and i'm walking home again tonight hold her take her over take a moment make forever tonight hold her feel her tender feel her slip away forever some nights soft she shades her sorrow smiles her sweet until tomorrow without a light to show the way i can't believe that you would say we're not gonna make it

so how about now write me a love song a beautiful verse and this time i'll hum along twelve weeks of anguish, maybe more one that won't make me cry like all the others before one that won't break my heart and maybe this christmas you'll give it a go time to think outside the cold midwestern blow you know i deserve it, last summer was hell tried with other boys, never worked out so well fucked with other girls at the end of it all i told you i'd change turn it upside down, rearrange and looking back i don't think you'd have a clue how many nights i cried over you how many nights you lied so how about now write me a love song a beautiful verse and this time i'll hum along one that won't break my heart one that won't make me cry one that won't break my heart
