The Accused 03:38
You say you've figured it out You've crushed every doubt You've lined up each lie against the wall But when the shadows are down And you think you're alone You find they're still following you home Maybe if you don't try so hard It could be easier for you Well it seems that you've changed But it's always the same The good ones are dying all the time Your vulturous heart Could it just be the start To find yourself living off remains
2.
And if you're leaving me It can't be the last time Yeah, if you're leaving me I know your flood is near And if you're hoping to Then what is keeping you? Oh no no no It's not gonna be that easy you see It's not gonna be that easy for me And if you're leaving me This can't be the last night Your echoes in the field You've taken too much time And the days are long no more So don't hold back the door

Graduation 03:51
We used to talk all night Leave yourself behind Me I'm closed off more From the places that I've been We drank til three Played songs for dimes Not a hope without The basement we lived in It'll wear away our morning air but we'll face it We'll face it in time Find another place to complicate then we'll face it We'll face it in time We're the next of kin drawing blueprints up for our Buildings on the beach Those who dive into it find out too quick what's below Them and what's out of reach And on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Lines 03:27
Woke up inside your head today between the cracks and the swirly grey matter Where did the time go? This beast has not become me yet the sour taste and the constant regret Where did the time go? And my heart feels so tired and hard to break Leave it to this strange world of long distance phone calls and loneliness Is this all we'll ever know? And all the same I drag around the same old stories from town to town Is this all I'll ever know? What does it take? (Let it go) Do you think it's true? (Who's to know?) Have I ever been you? (What's left has been and gone it's out of your hands)
5.
Seems like I've been out of touch again But I can't keep your promises for you And you You said you're signing up again To get played that way Seems like I've already got to land If I can't take the consequence again
6.
When you couldn't lose Let champagne go And now you wake at night with earthly pains You will carry on your name Your last stand Whispered out Our manners live at heart in the same vein Laying low all day 'Cause there's nothing to go by You can never be de-rusted Your myth has been debunked They'll write you as a mirror They'll say you were a mirror Say it out loud I'll say you were a mirror Say it out loud Your streetlight blinks and now we're part of the same need But we wouldn't say that anymore We wouldn't say that at all
7.
I cannot believe that the light's out before the dawn What else would you say when you've pissed upon the sun Taking all night and day just to complete a thought Backed up in a corner that I painted on You tell me how it should feel You knew your answer well before Rain fell no wind to move us You knew only one door Who will live in a cave of your fingerprints? When your last lover silent Walked across your floor Ghosts and shadows occupied The space you left for more
8.
Home 04:58
I try to collect all the bits and pieces that surround your name and you But when I get back to this place that is so small and whole I feel the whole world is split in two And I am a boy And you are a girl And there is no middle ground for us to meet at And you make veins and blood and words a fun game And we know what the other doesn't but still we speak the same I shout out across endless space and the planets vibrate Hit my head and bring me back into standing position We all fall forward bring the others down Back where there is no place to land And everywhere is safe At home We take our place and fall forward Head first to the ground which makes us hear these echoes as words apart From their place At home
9.
And don't delay your life by asking why And don't be with me because you're high You can walk away when it becomes an aisle You live your life by doom and gloom Don't hide yourself inside the moon If a change is coming it'll change up soon You life your life by doom and gloom
