Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time I thought that anything was possible
The world was all right there for us to find
But now I realize that I should hold myself responsible
For all the things we have been denied
It only goes to show that nothing ever works the way it's planned
There's no reason to believe in anything
If we could only find a way to live and fight another day
It doesn't mean anything to me
I don't wanna, don't wanna stay
And I don't wanna let you get away
But I find sometimes it helps to try to leave behind
Things you can't deny
Once upon a time I coulda swore we were invincible
You were always there to prove me wrong my friend
Erase me from your memory this ain't the way it used to be
I'm never coming back this way again
I don't wanna, don't wanna stay
And I don't wanna let you get away
But I find sometimes it helps to try to leave behind
Things you can't deny

A Bit Of What Is Broken
05:22
|

|
I light a cigarette and wonder how this came to be
The quiet desperation that caresses every part of me
A beautiful distraction from the ghosts that haunt this empty room
A memory of a moment when the world was bright and new
And I wonder what you meant when you said
"Nothing good lasts anyway"
As smoke curls from my fingertips
I let the ashes fall away
To some place cold and distant
To a world outside of space
A bit of what is broken
From another time and place
I can feel you slip away
I wonder what I'm gonna do
I wonder what I'm gonna say
and I can't believe it's come to this
Something in your eyes just told me
Something more than I could ever miss
Every night I lie here
Wonder when you're coming home
Times like these I'm certain I can't make it on my own
I'll count each passing second
Count each passing day
Until I can find the strength to just get up and walk away
I've nothing left top hope for
Nothing left to gain
With all that passed between us falling down on me like rain
And all the things that I remember
All the things that you forget
Are crashing all around me
But they haven't hit me yet
I can feel you slip away
I wonder what I'm gonna do
I wonder what I'm gonna say
and I can't believe it's come to this
Something in your eyes just told me
Something's wrong
Sha la la...
I can feel you slip away
I wonder what I'm gonna do
I wonder what I'm gonna say
and I can't believe it's come to this
Something in your eyes just told me
Something's wrong
Sha la la...

Counting Headlights

It's a long, long ride
Into a certain suicide
It's another day
Just to hope it goes away
It's a timeless tune
On a cold and heartless afternoon
It's a bitter wind
It's coming back to life again
It's a silhouette
It's a golden dream you haven't met
It's the curtain call
Reality before you fall
It's the time you take
It's the only way to stay awake
It's a breathless night
With the whole world out there burning bright
It's all too much
Or it's not enough
So keep it up
It's gonna be awhile
It's a rain delay
It's a day away
It's someone else's loss
It's heads your up
Tails I'm down
And I'm waiting for the toss
It's all too much
Or it's not enough
So keep it up
It's gonna be awhile
Count the headlights through the windshield

I called you drunk just to talk about life
And to tell you it sucks without you
A crash in my head
What the hell have I said?
What do you think I should do?
What do you want me to do?
Awake and I'm waiting and wondering baby
How do you do this to me?
Our minimal efforts at even explaining
What do you want out of me?
What do you want this to be?
The church bells ring
It's quarter to two
There's nothing to do
I miss you
And the effortless way that you tear me apart
Is so beautiful I could just die
You want, you got it
Take it or leave it
Just give me a word or a sign
Just give me one look in the eye
The church bells ring
It's quarter to two
There's nothing to do
I miss you

Falling
03:31

The great ones all waste their lives in moments like this
Cold as a razorblade
Soft as a new lover's kiss
Nothing feels right when nothing is wrong
And we've all got a long way to go
I'm falling down
Falling down
Back to the surface
Back to the ground
I missed a chance
Missed a cue
All that I wanted was you
It's time to revise
Time to rethink
Time to start swimming if you don't wanna sink
Time without boundaries
Time without walls
Time without anything
Nothing at all
And all of my heart wants you to stay
I know we'll be better off when you just go away
I'm falling down
Falling down
Back to the surface
Back to the ground
I missed a chance
Missed a cue
All that I wanted was you
Nobody knows what they want
Nobody knows what they miss
The greatest of all they waste their lives in moments
Just like this
I'm falling down
Falling down
Back to the surface
Back to the ground
I missed a chance
Missed a cue
All that I wanted was you

All Or Nothing
03:31

I could sit here in the dark all night
Smoking cigarettes til morning light
Pour a drink and try to concentrate
How'd you ever learn to burn so bright?
It's only perfect when you stop pretending
That you always want to be this way
It's only perfect then it's gone forever
Make it perfect just for one more day
I believed you when you said
It's all or nothing
I can't find the words to make it right
All we know for sure
It's all or nothing
Darling try to hold on

The gallows are waiting for fools just like us
Who found out too early that we know too much
I wish I could say why
I wish I knew if I were still alive
The gallows are waiting for fools just like us
Who found out too early there's no one to trust
I wish it was a joke
Strung out and the end of your rope
Until you run out of hope
Everything after tomorrow is right
As long as your reasons don't run out of light
Everything after tomorrow is the same
The rules of the game
Find someone to blame
The gallows are waiting for fools just like us
Who found out too early
It's never enough

Last Call
04:50

As I sit here with the ancient ghosts of barroom desperation
I drink a little toast to the entire congregation
Of empty eyes and empty bottles
Silent whispers at the floor
A body full of wickedness that's calling out for more
Wrong
I was wrong
Why does wasting time always have to take so long?
So long
So long
Hang on baby I think something's going wrong
I've seen December come a thousand days
Just to wash out every single trace
Of all we ever wanted in this whole damn rotten place
In the flicker of an instant
In tomorrow's unborn eyes
In the way you hold your breath before a simple kiss goodbye
Right
I was right
There's just something about the way you look tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Hang on baby I think it's gonna be alright
Climb aboard this disaster
We'll see how far we can ride
Set a course for anywhere
Until we see the other side

Train

Been so lonely since I left behind
All the things I thought would clear my head
Been so lonely since the goddamn rain
Went and dragged my useless body out of bed
Don't you ever think I'm coming home?
To gather all the teardrops from your eyes
Don't you ever think it's been too long?
I'll ride this train right back where I belong
Ride this train right back where I belong
Been so lonely since I've seen you here
With all the ghosts that haunt my sleep at night
It's been so long since I could honestly
Say that everything will be alright
Don't you ever think I'm coming home?
To gather all the teardrops from your eyes
Don't you ever think it's been too long?
I'll ride this train right back where I belong
Ride this train right back where I belong
Been so lonely since I realized
There ain't no way to get us out of here
Been so long since I could close my eyes
And tell myself I won't disappear
Don't you ever think I'm coming home?
To gather all the teardrops from your eyes
Don't you ever think it's been too long?
I'll ride this train right back where I belong
Ride this train right back where I belong

Roadmap

Wake me when it's over
When the lightning finally strikes
In between what's left of us and the rest of our lives
When it's only our illusions
That keep us in this town
When we finally find a reason
And tear this city down
For now we leave behind us
The reasons we care
The ghostlight in the downtown sky
The shackles we wear
The incandescent shades of truth that creep across the wall
For just a moment
Hold your breath and watch the ashes fall
Come on I'll carry you home in the morning
Come on I'll carry you home
Come on I'll carry you home in the morning
Come on I'll carry you home
The only time that seems too short
Is when you're all alone
You never fall in love
Until you promise you won't
Until forever, until tomorrow
Until this whole damn world is gone
Where do you think you're going?
And whose side where you on?
Come on I'll carry you home in the morning
Come on I'll carry you home
Come on I'll carry you home in the morning
Come on I'll carry you home
Wake me when it's over
When you finally hit the brakes
When we're halfway to Chicago and I can feel the engine shake

It's been raining since the day that I was born
My heartbeat moving faster
Every moment til I'm gone
Then I woke up in the consequence of everything I've seen
And every single second I'm forgetting how to breathe
I've been pouring out an ocean of my blood
In crimson waves of mercury until I come undone
Then I step aside and watch the daylight crack the room
Close my eyes
Count to ten
Fall asleep til June
I'll do anything I can
I'll do everything
Anything I can
I'll do something
I'll smile
I'll smile
Through in between and everything
All that's right and wrong
Until something better comes along
It's been raining every day of my life
My fear of understanding is grower sharper than a knife
Now I'm the shadow of the ghost of what I'll always want to be
And every single second I'm beginning to believe
I'll do anything I can
Anything I can
I'll do something
I'll smile
I'll smile
Through in between and everything
All that's right and wrong
Until something better comes along
