Verse 1: And like an afterthought I fall I fall behind With my back against another wall I look inside and realize I’m not a perfect soul I’ve got a broken mind So says the writing on the wall Chorus: And as the light begins to leave We’re dreaming I hide to find my clarity Believe me Been deeper than the ocean Held hands with the holy ghost and I’ll die to find what I believe ‘Cause I believe in me Verse 2: I left a trail full of pieces of me ‘Cause my mind tends to fail And my heart tends to lead So pick up the pieces I swear that I’ll be A body, a vessel, a soul or the weak Chorus Bridge: A map of my mind isn’t all that you need A soul needs a body like eyes need to read So please pay attention I need you to see A body, a body, I’m more than a body Chorus

All You Need 03:40
I need a fucked up table for one And I’m accustomed only because I’ve been a poisonous centerpiece A venomouse energy In need of a remedy Gotta stop Hold on Let’s talk You’re wrong But now you knew that all along Chorus: Sing with me I only ever wanted you to see It’s I’m getting better But I’m on my knees To let you know That all you need Is a reason to believe That I’ll recover from a swift defeat And we will make it through this Verse 2: She’s had enough and she’s ready to run It’s hard to bluff when you’re holding the gun I can’t be scared of you darling You’re so alarming it’s charming But you started the carving You gotta stop Hold on Don’t talk I’m wrong But now you knew that all along Chorus Bridge: It’s not enough but I promise I’m done You’re not on you’re own No you’re not on you’re own It’s getting tough but I promise I’m done Promise I’m done You’re not on your own No you’re not on your own Chorus

Angel 03:25
Verse 1: Would you kindly kill the voices in my head That keep me seeing red I’m forgetting every word you’ve said And would you kindly kill the smoke and crack the mirrors That keep me stranded here In a fragiile state of hope and fear Chorus: You say you’re an angel But I don’t believe you As you sing the siren song I can't seem to escape from You said you would save me And gave me something to believe Now it’s changing everything I do Defined the way that I see you Verse 2: You break into my bones When you know that I’m alone You burn under my skin When you cut me from within Chorus Bridge: If I could do it all again I’d make the better choice instead Believe me I’m still here In a state of hope and fear Final Chorus: You say you’re an angel But I don’t believe you As you scream the siren song I cant seem to escape from You said you would save me And gave me something to believe Now it’s changing everything Define the way that I see you

Intro: If truth be told this house is not a home There’s a part of me that knows you’re letting go Verse 1: And now I take these drugs to help me fall asleep ‘Cause the better parts of us live in my dreams Shut that door, don’t shut that door on me I’m punctured lung, I’m a flat-lined heart, I’m weak Pre-Chorus 1: Oh doctor, doctor (doctor, doctor) Doctor, doctor say it softer Doctor, doctor (doctor, doctor) My pretty paper coffin offer Chorus: I’m holding on to everything It won’t be long before I forget Take it all and I’ll pick up what’s left Yeah I’ll pick up what’s left of me Verse 2: She’s prettiest when broken, when broken to the bone But I hope to God she’s choking, just on the choice to be alone I was a fucked up lover ‘Cause I went undercover When I needed to discover If my heart could love another It won’t It just broke Pre- Chorus 2: Yeah doctor, doctor Oh doctor, doctor Chorus Bridge: And if truth be told (doctor, doctor) If truth be told (doctor, doctor) And if truth be told (doctor, doctor) If truth be told this house is not a home Final Chorus: I’m holding on to everything Take it all and I’ll pick up what’s left Yeah I’ll pick up what’s left of me

Dear Lovely 04:09
Verse 1: Dear lovely, I’m afraid that I’ve found an enemy Pray for me to anyone or anything Seam by seam it appears that I’ve been unraveling Whoa, what a tragedy Pre-Chorus 1: And if I’m wrong I swear I’ll make amends to you Before I’m gone inside, for what is left is leaving soon Because I wasn’t built for love It’s a truth my heart’s forgetting If nothing means so much Go Chorus: ‘Cause I wasn’t built for love. It’s a truth my heart’s forgetting If nothing means so much, you were something more And before I ever knew myself or my transcending I knew that I had you The beginning of… Verse 2: And as sweet as sorry looks upon your lips you hid it well I must admit that puzzle piece is the one we haven’t found Pre-Chorus 2: And if I’m wrong I swear I’ll make amends to you Before I’m gone inside because it’s all that I have Oh my God Chorus Bridge: I had you Chorus Outro: The ending, the ending I knew that I had you

Verse 1: Stay close, promise me It’s getting cold and the seasons are changing Tall tales of taller things Cast spells in the shadows of these cherry trees I know a hiding place Rain, rain will come again another day, another day Say grace and follow me To see a place where the world won’t hear a thing Chorus: Drive slow it’s a scary road Look down at the city far below Lost souls from haunted homes Come back to purify their bones Black lungs and chemicals Gave life to all our favorite songs Far enough to feel alone The oak tree on mile high road Verse 2: Come now brethren And see how a sinner loves his sins We’ll drown in medicine And keep warm when the heavy dreams begin again Scarecrows in the cherry groves They sing songs of the winter winds and buried bones Like stone to sediment I’m coming home to the great unknown A carnival of sentiment Chorus Verse 3: Let’s play truth or dare And we’ll paint a brand new face To hide behind that pretty hair I can’t wait to get you here We’ll celebrate with old champagne And stories of our greatest fears Chorus
7.
Bridges 04:19
Verse 1: The devil on my shoulder whispers in my ear I need to disconnect and move away from here I’m wearing thin and giving in on bended knee The pressure’s at a breaking point and so are we Pre-Chorus: Building bridges to your mind Gotta find my way inside It’s the only way I can get through Chorus: So cut the better part of me out So I can understand your soul You cut the better part of me down ‘Cause it’s only way, yes it’s the only way Verse 2: I read between the lines Before we redesign The paths that intertwine To a place I’d never find Bridges to your mind Gotta find my way inside Its only the only way through To you Chorus Bridge: So cut the better of me out You let the better part of me down The better part of me The side you’ll never see Final Chorus: So break the better part of me out And strip the devil from my soul I’ll let the bitter part of you drown ‘Cause it’s the only way It’s the only way I know

Verse 1: Watching and waiting to harvest these cravings alone From dawn to the shadows these secrets are all that you know Just wait for the tidal wave, you’re in the eye of the storm I’ll bet you’re the kind to say Heaven makes Hell sound like home You’re aching for more but you’re caving inside You’re off waging wars but you’re losing the fight Chorus: Running away from the things you can’t face Oh you’re so confusing Shelter your skin while you deny your sins You can’t handle losing me, losing me Verse 2: You build them so tall but I’ll break down these walls once again I’m no Machiavelli but this is a means to an end There’s grace in the fall if you pray for that end to begin Please say your final piece, I’ve got a war to go win Chorus Post-Chorus: Now we’re caught in the eye of the storm And I wish that I could have done more We were sinking oh so long before You were losing me Bridge: Running away (Now you’re losing me, losing) Chorus Post-Chorus

Secrets 04:30
Intro: I’ve seen the wreckage send a second chance I’ll die before I lose this war again Verse 1: Let’s dig deeper, beyond our bones Find a keeper for the secrets that we’ve never told Like the ones that fall by the wayside Each time you lie in the mirror So many more that I keep inside You are the one that keeps me here Verse 2: Hide these pieces Or fill these holes? Bound by weakness ‘Cause the shadows of your heart control All the love that you can’t remember But it’s all that keeps you here Go on ahead and find your forever Until the end I’ll be right here Chorus: I’ve seen the wreckage send a second chance ‘Cause I’ll die before I lose this war again Before we get too deep to find The reasons why we hide behind Who we are or what we have inside You’re perfect in my eyes Bridge: You need to leave, ‘cause I need to find the reason You need to leave, ‘cause I need to find the reason You need to leave, ‘cause I need to find I need to find, I need to find, I need to find, I need to find You need to leave, ‘cause I need to find The reason why you’re haunting my dreams that keep this lonely ghost alive Chorus

Verse 1: I’m speaking now to the one who holds my captivation I’ll paint these parallels until the silhouette sun sets across the nation We got high above our small hometown without a stitch of clothing When our eyes made love it froze the moment at a moments notice If I had my way Verse 2: We were coming down and as the city slept We let the patterns paint themselves Keep your secrets sound in a whiskey bottle a mile north of town If I had my way I never would’ve said a thing Chorus: Run now, before you hurt yourself Somehow I know this won’t end well Like running with a pair of scissors I know I shouldn’t, but I want to kiss her So I speak now or forever hold my piece This girl could drown or rescue me Like sleeping on a bed of razors, I know I shouldn’t but I have to taste her Verse 3: Here’s to you and yours From the shattered screens to the broken down doors A finite grandeur on a lonely coast where the pieces drift ashore Surely you saw the warnings and surely you heed the warnings Chorus Post-Chorus: But you should know, ’cause I know you’ve got to go I know you’ve got to, I know you’ve got to go But he doesn’t want you and you don’t want to But I know you’ve got to, I know you’ve got to go Outro: In this moment of clarity Let’s share what we dare not speak Deep in these catacombs Just below our clavicles Tucked behind some flesh and bone
