Bug bites and fireflies On my skin A summer steeped in heartache And adolescent sin You were the best of me And I was the worst I turned from a blessing Into a curse I did my best to make things better for you But leaving my love was the most that I could do Well I'm sorry So sorry When a sumer breeze brushes your cheek Will you think of me? The man with doubt in hand That he could be who he needed to be Someone who could stand stone strong and know What he wanted to do Cause love was never a game to be Practiced on you I did my best to make things better for you But leaving my love was the most that I could do Well I'm sorry So sorry

Baby, Suze, whats going on? Anything in correlation to the terms we've stumbled upon Whatever they may be, if they are true I can't tell For my pessimism well darling, I've sent it all to hell But I aint side stepping, top skipping, bottom prancing Inside moving, outside swooning or ballroom dancing Cause babe I've cut through all the discord as of late Now I've got some understandings to underestimate For all the roads we drove None have seemed to lead you back home So I'll just rest with the remnants of your silhouette Feeling so blue and alone But I'm not alone I'm not alone But I feel so alone without you Baby, Suze, where have you gone? Cause I'm moving up, I'm moving down, I'm moving along Yeah these side walks and back streets, they don't feel the same Now that I'm walking in time, on a line, playing the game We speak of miss-throws and no goes, nice new clothes Information restricted, to which nobody knows Cause clear cut fog is all it is as of now Let it be, let it be, let it be somehow

Head West 05:18
Crack my spine and tie up your strings Bruise my blood and pack up your things Head west for the hills Just sleep in your car Head west for the hills Till you know who you are I promise I won't follow you When you're driving home Your keys don't fit my doors Cause you don't live here no more Strip my skin and clothe me in doubt Pull me inside, then throw me out Every touch that you leave There's a touch I will take For every touch that you leave There's a smile I will fake I promise I won't follow you When you're driving home Your keys don't fit my doors Cause you don't live here no more

We were young Too young to be Stripped of our Coats and clothes But all those threads we shed that night Gave flesh to feel In breathing in your breathes I lost my parts to heal We cupped our mouths to snuff the sound Since we were only sixteen We closed our eyes to keep the count Who knew that we were falling out I was your dotted line You signed it away Fuck the feel, we'll count the steal Cause you know and I know It's done Night gave way To a settling son We were lost And underaged But through the time that passed You grew a bodied shame And through your belly We gave sin our father's names You tore your tracks to start again Since we were only sixteen It was just as simple then As giving up had ever been I was your dotted line You signed it away Fuck the feel, we'll count the steal Cause you know and I know It's done

First Light 02:15
Strung on a line To let it heal if you Give it some time You are going to find You're teenage tears, they are going to dry Go back to sleep And try to dream Of when you'd keep Your hands to yourself Play real polite, innocent and so shy The mistakes you made Yesterday are going to fade With the morning's cue At first light, they'll all undo

Mt. Calvary 04:37
I stood at the edge of your bed As sad saints hung their heavy heads Whispering out of sync to you and the dead Sewing up your final threads My love, I lay down My love, I let you go My love, I let you drown My love, why'd you go? How strange it was to see you go On a one way trip, your ticket on your toe That train won't stop until it drops you under stone Where your body will stow My love, I lay down (On the mountain) My love, I let you go (To the garden) My love, I let you drown (With the blue blood) My love, why'd you go? I couldn't say a word to you The day they bared you to the pews For seeds just filled your shoes Cause flesh your soul will not use My love, I lay down (On the mountain) My love, I let you go (To the garden) My love, I let you drown (With the blue blood) My love, why'd you go?

Gone are times when we were sure That this is all there woud ever be With naive heart and hope so pure As halcyon summer breeze Well that wind still hums so loud And proud as it did When we were just kids in our teens Smoking cigarettes, discussing our dreams We thought tomorrow would never be today I miss you and the rest of you my friends I miss you and the rest of you my friends My friends, my friends, my friends Theres a song inside our heads Ringing of differences between All the things that were said And al those things we didn't mean And all the time we took for granted What was splitting at the seems It's always stuck on cycle/repeat So we just acquiesce, go home and make our beds For tomorrow and dream of better days I miss you and the rest of you my friends I miss you and the rest of you my friends My friends, my friends, my friends I miss you and the rest of you my friends I miss you and the rest of you my friends My friends, my friends, my friends

Grey Graves 03:52
You are the ghost Of everything you used to be A mind made victim I killed off in my dreams Your blood is on my fingertips, Your blood is on my hands Oh, I hope some day you understand You are the ghost Thats whispering from down the hall It keeps me up at night My God, I hear your calls Your voice just beats my drums Your voice is in my head Oh, it sounds just like the living dead You know I am the one who buried You Were the body I laid down In my memory You are the ghost That took shape of who I used to know You call it heartless But I'll just call it apropos To strip you of your sheets Exposing your chains Oh, now won't you let me by with ease You know I am the one who buried You Were the body I laid down In my memory Dig it up, dig it up right now Make a home in the cemetery I hope you're happy In these grey graves

This is the sound of Setting in The settling of every sin I pawned off on misfires From defective cells held within My pallid skin The spiders made their homes In our battered broken bones We left them long ago Where we'd bleed out in our sleep So, contain the loss And toss the odds And ends into the fire We'll call it all A false fall For ideas of what will never be What will never be This is the letting Of bloody dust The lifting of misplaced mistrust Time was the catalyst And my conduit to adjust My selfish disgust The self I knew grew old And settled with the cold It set in long ago When I laid my body in the deep So, contain the loss And toss the odds And ends into the fire We'll call it all A false fall For ideas of what will never be What will never be Well, everything was wrong Too broke apart to be Well, everything went wrong Cause I was gone at sea But I'm not sorry No, I'm not sorry Anymore
