1.
I'm lost inside This unnatural insecurity No place to hide While the judging spotlight shines down on me We love this town. We love our jobs. There's nothing left but what's lying on the floor There's nothing left but what's lying at your door No one left alive My age requisites all my immobility They're left to starve In a glorified pool of their homegrown hostility
2.
Dear God if I can't find some resolution I might as well give up Dear God for one who says He has the answers I wish You would speak up Dear Jesus You have heard my prayers But You would not pray back Dear Jesus You have heard my fears And I'm under attack I want a wire, a telephone, a book, a magazine To let me know I want a wire, a telephone, a book, a magazine To guide me home Dear God you've made me so much darker That my mind can't resist Dear God I'm plagued with indiscretion Its wrapped around my wrist 'Cause I'm on fire So let's burn Burn it and then bury it with dirt
3.
Kicked 02:05
And the words written in red "come back home" All the people left for dead please come back home Last word ever said is "come back home" When the fire has left my head I'll come back home
4.
In the grass we've made our mark as we lay here after dark and the sky sends down our chills like rusty raindrops on old window sills And we lie awake and love Like we're scared of the sun But tomorrow never comes When you're scared of the sun And I burn for you inside with a fire my smile can't hide and tomorrow brings us rapture I want to steal your soul and live forever
5.
I want to run with you and carry you home But you're alone and I'm alone Skim through your book of lies and watch you perform Your dirty dance on some stranger's floor Don't fall so far away you cannot hear me say I love you don't throw yourself don't throw yourself away And these pages want to turn, your book of lies will burn The curtain draws, your selfish pride has met its match tonight When you said your soul was mine, I never had a chance I didn't know, how you liked to dance A giant promise made and then thrown to the wolves My world collapsed and I was the fool Don't fall so far away you cannot hear me say I love you don't throw yourself don't throw yourself away And these pages want to turn, your book of lies will burn The curtain draws, your selfish pride has met its match tonight
6.
I will not waste all of my time love I will not be chased like a mouse and then eaten up You have two more months before you go away I will be the one who has to go or stay If you wont love me just say so Cut my losses and dash my hopes The storm is coming and I'm waiting on you When you're gone what will I do? If you should choose to let me fall away Choose someone who will give you every night and every day I wont be able to see my replacement too soon Be sure to tell him just how much I cared for you
7.
A sunken ship is all I sail on And it wont take me in An empty bed is all I sleep on And it wont take me in A burning house is all I live in And it wont take me in An empty death is all I live for And it wont take me in Search the cabinet for the pills And they wont take me in Spend a life on all the thrills And they wont take me in An empty church is all I pray in And it wont take me in A demon haunts my every nightmare And he wont take me in Shallow friends are all I sing to And they wont take me in A silent God is all I talk to And he wont take me in Drunks and Whores hold my friends attention While I'm in bed with snakes Passed out on floors and pleas for honored mention I spill my guts to an empty congregation. My aching joints and only hours later I occupy my own body and mind Make all my rounds and think of explanation There is no truth to say Shallow friends are all I sing to And they wont take me in A silent God is all I talk to And He wont take me in
8.
The Drive 03:34
All the time is all dried up There is nothing left to say, my dear Two more hours and we are through There's no more me and no more you You were worth the drive my dear You were worth all of my fear The question never wrong or right The question present: fight or flight? My dear... You thought that I was there for you It breaks us both to see us through
