"Flowers In The Basement"
This one's to the late nights in your car
This one's to those dreams of you being a movie star
This one's to the life we could have
This one's to "hey kid, there is no turning back"
(No turning)
I'm starting to hate getting older now
Everything's uninspired
I am that flower in the window sill just wilting
Wondering how the sun once felt
Your heartache always waits on the other side
I'm that flower dying, I'm that flower dying

"Songbird"
All my friends - Yeah, I left them both for dead
Their ghosts float around my head
Mad they did not catch the memo
Whenever you sweep the dirty floors
You scan the scene, your heartbeat hurts
I've lost my words, there's never dirt
On the writer's side of the typewriter
I'm dying for my dreams, but am I hurting yours?
It's only been a year, I've done four U.S. tours
I don't want to hit the end, I don't want to turn back
Be a debt collecting dad in the back of a van
You don't have to have it all
Those golden circles on the wall
How could I break your heart
If I never had it from the start?
This is what breaks you the most
This is what chills your bones
This is what breaks you the most
This is what kills your bones
This is what breaks you and cuts at your throat
I was my worst fear and I didn't know
I wanted to taste you and never go home
I spent all of this year out there on the road
All that I found wasn't what I desired
All of the weight loss and drinking in bars
I am a pro now at acting the part
I sing all my guts out and laugh at my art
I just want to see you and give you my love
I'm out here in Phoenix they cancelled the show
Was I not your Songbird, was that just a joke?
The prettiest punchline that you ever wrote
My friends are all dying
I can't catch my breath
I dress up in black now to match the events
We've all got thorns - Yeah, they prick and they poke
I imagine your veins burst a red blooming rose
I wish I could get back everyone that I love
I'm not your Songbird and you're not my Dove (x2)

"Full Bloom"
Kneeling on the grass, I felt a breeze flood my back like a wave
Weighing out the past, I am grimly future cast like a slave
Your last living days, a year-old baby gaze, we've come full circle
I could feel the room expanding like it was in full bloom
Stop
To my weakest and truest hour
When all that I am, and ever was, and ever will be
Has always been just a vision of whatever it was that you thought of me
So when your eyes catch the gleam and you see me shining
Let's just be happy - I'm flying
And in the end, you know what your heart feels
I hope you've found peace in the loud, fleeting grace of age
The pain, the wait, the joy, the day
A cage of clouds will open it's mouth
A crack in your chest, a burn in your breast
That moment your hurt left your body
And you were a child
Oh, Child
In this life, you'll find you've got to bleed to be alive
Wake up people
You're dying
We're dying
And in the end, you know what your heart feels
I know how your heart feels
I know how my heart feels

"Another Life"
If I lived another life, I would have all that I wanted
Money, money - Make that money
Now I've got all that I wanted
All of your dreams could come true
What would you do?

Undertow

"Undertow"
Over the undertow
I, underdog, am tired
Of drowning in your sun
Dim the lights, sit on the bed
Open your head, kiss in the rain
Sink in the pool in the rain
Everything is technical-red, robot pain
Twins across the teepee
Forehead on my carpet
Spinning like a carousel ride
But don't ever get off of it
Shivering eyes on the bathroom floor
This is not what life is for
Underscore - under importance on each other
If I were a dancer I'd cry on stage
Spin in circles in fits of rage
I'd break my neck just to make eye contact
I will be your owl boy
Shivering eyes on the bathroom floor
This is not what life is for
Underscore, under importance on each other
I will burn a hole in your head with your own cigarette
I want to be whole
I want to be whole again
Three lit canteen torches
On the porch
When I just burst
Like a brick through glass

"Deep Blue"
'Happy Birthday' cake
What was it that you say,
What was it that you say?
"You lookin' more like your daddy"?
I wasn't born in December
I wasn't born a surprise
You've got this look in your eye
I've got that look in my eye
When you see me,
You know
Yeah, you know this is true
Deep blue, deep blue...
When we grow, don't carry us home
You know I've got a ways to go
When I feel low, my body and soul
You know this ain't a walk in the park
Another birthday came
Then it went away
Like a summer's rain
You've got to change with the times
But don't melt into butter
You've got to roll with the punches
But do not punch each other
Yeah, you must trust but verify
I wasn't knocking your door down
I wasn't begging you to stay
Everything that I had
It could have all went away
Now you see me,
You know
Yeah, you know this is true
Deep blue, deep blue...

"Bleaker Dreamer"
I was peace-less, falling to pieces
Frightened from forced fatherhood, friday night fallouts
I wish that I could take this back
I'd killed an infant without it even having lived yet
I bury secrets down in me
You dig them up, I beat you up
Bleaker Dreamer
I love you, but I can't hurt you anymore
You ever wish that you could save someone?
Like rip your heart out of chest cavity prison,
Open-handed Christmas gift...
For you brother,
I'd trade my stomach all of a million times over
Weekly wish away
Worsening, wicked, tight, sick pains
Laughing with you
Laughing without you
Fate can come in charmless form
I just love you, and wish that you weren't hurting anymore
Late Night Thriver
Late Night Hider
Late Night Loneliness

All for you

Whiskey King

"Whiskey King"
Always sorry
Long face, big brains
We are friends
Hardly dissimilar in our beliefs or hometown
But everyone is telling me that I'm...
I'm not even me
Yeah - I'm not even me,
Now I live underwater
I had a dark side, a hard side,
A sharp side, a smart side
But everyone is telling me that I'm...
I'm not even me
Yeah - I'm the devil in the deep end
My back underwater with my ass in the pool bed
Yeah - Now I live underwater
Lowly me, now I'm the Whiskey King
I'm wasted
Scanning down the ground
Acting like a baby that hasn't cried in ten years' time,
Until now
And you can taste it
I'm drinking just to drown
(I'm fine though, I'm fine)
And you're so patient
It's like I'm not around
(I'm fine though, I'm fine)
Lonely me, now I'm the Whiskey King

Palindrome

"Palindrome"
Early in the morning
Glowing like a pumpkin
Have a taste then spit it out
You look like a nightmare
Hollow on your white stairs
Burning like your neighbors' house
Palindrome, you got me all alone
You are a spider and I'm dying to get out of your web
Now I know you've lost control
You always light up
When I'm down and spinning out of your grip
Early in the evening
Cemetery's breathing
Floating like a ghost while you whistle a tune
Everybody's wondering
You a witch or something -
Changing like the seasons' moons?
(Down and spinning out of your grip)
Heartache
Always

"Coral"
I have never loved someone the way that I love you
You changed my life
Like a lightning bolt,
You changed my life
I watched them remove your guts from inside you,
And place them on the table beside you -
Pull life from your womb
How can I repay you for the gifts you have given?
Forever grateful,
To have met you
Forever grateful,
Until the tomb
And I hope that you love me too
And all of my flawed and silly attempts
To make you smile
