The Accused

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

And If You're Leaving Me

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

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

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)

Played That Way
04:27
|
|||
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

Let Champagne Go
05:13
|
|||
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
|

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

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

Doom and Gloom
04:15
|
|||
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
