Sleep

I keep my spirit locked inside a coffin
Somewhere you can't see
I let her take a peek inside one morning
But she kept the key
Now I'm free
You come and go just like the seasons
And now my lungs are barely breathing
A beating heart can be deceiving
So I'm counting on the sounds of sleep
And loneliness it makes me weep
So I'm counting on the sounds of sleep
These endless nights they wrap their arms around me
It's you I wanna see
The devil walks in a disguise
A velvet dress and dark brown eyes
Love is more than just a reason
Yeah it's a shield that I believe in
I wear it proudly like a soldier
As I'm counting on the sounds of sleep
Give me some time to see
That it can't get any better
Oh but it burns in my sleep
I toss and I turn like the sea
So who am I supposed to be
When you hide your face around me
Loneliness it makes me weep
So I'm counting on the sounds of sleep
Love is more than just a reason
It's more than something to believe in
Yeah I'm awake but I'm still dreaming
And I'm counting on the sounds of sleep

Typical
01:13
|
|||
|
Everything feels so typical
And everyone seems so tangible
I guess I'm just looking for a miracle
A wave to send me to the shore
I'm losing all my self control
My heart and mind don't seem to work together
This typical world don't seem to work

Eyes (acoustic)
04:08
|

|
I dug myself inside a hole
Deeper than the ocean
Darker than this world can go
And I'm not alone
My eyes won't let me see
I hear you all around me
And see you only in my dreams
Ease my mind, set it free
It's not a reflex
I miss the context of what I wanna hear
When you're near
They say I'm in for a big surprise
When I get to the other side
She lives life like a TV show
The most twisted episode
It’s not about me, this ain’t the love scene
You’re always moving on
But how can I be strong
Your eyes they sing me songs
Stared at the sun, can't see the road
Here's a symphony for other broken hearted souls
That can't stop losing control
I'm a runaway train that never arrives
But you're already there
You're my best worst place to hide
There's book on our lives
Our story remains untold
So I'm coming home
There's a song in your eyes
That's shaking me to my bones
But I seem to keep it together
When I'm falling apart
This book ends at the start
Your eyes keep calling my name
I'm not the same

My War
04:37
|
|||
|
Rock the cradle and start existing
I can't figure out what I’m missing
So I close my eyes, and picture a new day
The clock’s ticking and soon we'll be dust anyway
We better learn to live cause we're not here to stay
And I keep it undercover
But your drug is like no other
I'm addicted to this madness
I'm addicted to what I can't have
The boy inside me is singing
'bout a war that we're not winning
I’m addicted to this madness
My war, my war, my war is gonna last
Don't close your eyes, this moment is fading
There's a wheel in the sky, a lifetime awaiting
Life’s not so bad
You can’t miss what you never had
So keep the cradle rocking, rocking fast
We lost all that we are
but we keep in our hearts a lover's gun
And my hope runs thick, thick as blood
We've been chasing things that don't move at all
We lost all that we are
but I keep looking up, at the sun
let the water run, through my blood
I'll keep chasing dreams that don't move at all

Farewell
03:05
|
|||
|
Woke up at dawn of the morning
Two lungs and a pulse prove I'm alive
I remember yesterday seeming kinda boring
When you were right by my side
So farewell, farewell
I may be going to hell
With all of the sinners and all nonbelievers
There's no real way I can tell
My baby don't like simple conversation
She prefers the deepest divine
Baby you're so artsy how you paint our situation
Guess I was a fool to call you mine
So farewell, farewell
I can't be going to hell
With all of the sinners and all nonbelievers
There's no real way I can tell
I gave you my Saturdays
And you just kissed my time away
And I'll never get it back
Now I hate it to say it
But I crossed both of my fingers that night
How bout that?
Called my baby up when she was crying
I know that that's the right thing to do
But would you believe me if I said I was lying
When I said "I love you too"
So call the preacher, dial your parents
Tell your brother and his wife
There's no winning in this big ol' lie
Time is so unfriendly when you're in most need of a friend
So good Lord take my hand until the end
