When I was young death chewed me up And I was swallowed by a world that I don't feel a part of anymore
I was solid gold I was in the fight I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin I couldn't see you coming so far I just turn around and there you are
Though you're making noise, Just can't hear your voice, They're on a dizzy ride and you're cold sober Why can't you believe what I say is true, Everything I'm saying, Lord, I heard it first from you Heard your news report, You know you're falling short, Pretty soon won't trust you for the weather
Cause I just wrote a letter A confession down the ladder That things could be so much better Through follow the leader I met her and then another end And usually a grudge But I loved so much The way we touched and psuedo-kissed Oh I already miss you singing like this Over the phone Every now and every then I tend to pretend I'm not alone
So don't move an inch Don't move a single second Until the shade behind your thoughts is not confused Cause I felt your itch I know the scent as well as any Clotting your garden of paint or pollen Brick in your mortar, petals to soak in On the cracks, thicker or finer Milk in your water, black in your primer Wood in your brush, now I am your cloth Whatever you want, the best is upon us Its a finicky muse With only potential To choose
The city of angels is lonely at night Keep myself alive by candlelight Say she can't love you like I do Look me in the eyes and say it's true I ask myself is this love at all When I need you most you let me fall I'm always here at the side of your stage Let you live your life, pretend I'm okay
I'll tell you one thing We ain't gonna change much The sun still rises Even with the pain I'll tell you one thing We ain't gonna change love The sun still rises Even through the rain
Small wheel turn by the fire and rod Big wheel turn by the grace of God Everytime that wheel turn round bound to cover just a little more ground The wheel is turning and you can't slow down You can't let go and you can't hold on You can't go back and you can't stand still If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will Won't you try just a little bit harder Couldn't you try just a little bit more? Won't you try just a little bit harder? Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
You know me Or you think you do You just can't seem to see I've been waiting all this time to be Something I can't define So let's cause a scene Clap our hands and stomp our feet Or something I've just gotta get myself over me
One last desperate plea. One last verse to sing. One last laugh track to accompany the comedy. Have I been losing it completely? Losing sanity? Or has it been fabricated, fashioned by the worst of me? I know I knocked the table over because I watched the jar break and I’ve been trying to repair it every single stupid day But won’t the cracks still show no matter how well it’s assembled can I ever just decide to let it die and let you go?
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving, Carrying your shoes, Decided that once again I was just dreaming, Of bumping into you. Now it's three in the morning, And I'm trying to change your mind, Left you multiple missed calls And to my message you reply. Why'd you only call me when you're high?
When every other kid on the block has a shotgun I've never known the difference between the toys and the real ones When every other kid on the block has a problem I'm just one I'm just one
With my grandmother's ring I went down on one knee and the subsequent catastrophe has since haunted me like a fiberglass ghost in the attic "Fox's Dream of the Log Flume" - mewithoutYou
God damn the people who left you in pain God damn the father without face, without name And god damn the lovers who never showed up And god damn the wounds that show how deep a word can cut Before you were born someone kicked in the door There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong Before you were born someone kicked in the door You are not wanted here, stay back where you belong
For years we've fought the night With pale and ghostly flames Some still dream of light, Say the sun will rise again But we kill our needs for alms With cool and measured crime We learn to drift and palm From our hearts and from our minds But let us not be faithless, For you will meet our needs Thy good and gracious word Is a lamp unto our feet
I wish you'd walk in again Imagine if you just did I'd fill you in on the things you missed Oh sleepless knight, a grown up man dressed in white Who I thought might just save your life But he couldn't, so you died
Caught in the eye of a hurricane Slowly waving goodbye like a pageant parade So sick of this town pulling me down My mother says I should come back home but Can't find the way cause the way is gone So if I pray am I just sending words into outer space?
Sunday morning, Father's Day The first without my dad As I look into my little boy's eyes It takes all I have Not to break down right in front of him when he smiles at me You don't become a man Until you lose your dad, you see "Father's Day" - Butch Walker
If the sky becomes all smoke and fire burns Before my lungs give up, I take it in Breath becomes like tax and punishment I'll try to say the things worth holding in
Across a different bridge today Over the river and down Broadway Feels so good to have you here Some of you will be dead next year I see your destinies above you Like angels who don't love you Let them kiss you and hold you tight As long as the money's right God bless all my old friends And god bless me too, why pretend? Feast when you can And dream when theres nothing to feast on
