Old Shaky

these shaky hands
can no longer hold you
no more than they can
hold a cigarette
you can't drag someone
in to the future
if he's always holding on to regret
this bleeding heart
is hidden in my chest
locked up tight
with all the other ghosts
how it beats
is anyone's guess
someday it will stop
on its own
and I will never
get over you
I'm sorry that
I never listened to you
and you were yelling
loudly in my ear
now that we've told
each other's secrets
I guess there's nothing
left for us to fear
and I will never
get over you
and you will never
get over me, too
these shaky hands
are always waving at you
and I can't bare
to mention your name
if you need me
you know I cannot help you
everything we changed
has stayed the same
and I will never
get over you
and you will never
get over me, too

As Always

I've been countin'
the words your sayin'
and I've heard enough
even if you're
speaking slowly
still it hurts too much
and as always I'm too late
and as always I think it can wait
and as always I'm too late
and I know
you've been speaking my mind
but I don't sound like that
could you try
to listen like me
I promise not to talk back
and as always I'm too late
and as always I think it can wait
and as always I'm too afraid
missing cues
and starting late
my lips, your face
missing cues
and starting late
your hips, my fate
and as always I'm too late
and as always you think it can wait
and as always I'm too afraid

Westminster, MD

away from the city
down a county road
sign on the way in says,
"Feel Right At Home"
a quiet place
where nothing will change
and everybody knows
everybody's face
but the hometown heroes
are dying of thirst
oh, they're grinding their gears
getting out of first
late at night
you can hear them drive
but no one gets
out of here alive
two main drags
and a parking lot
a methadone clinic
and a coffee shop
people smile
way too wide
oh you can't subtract
what you can't divide
you can't protect your kids
from the world outside
when your local color
it's all white
now and then
you hate this neighborhood
and you'd Westminster
only if you could
now, quitting school
cause it's a waste of time
you never learned to add
so you multiply
and shaky jobs
that let you barely live
selling weed on The HIll
to some college kids
you end up a grease monkey
just like your dad
when culture to you
is a garbage bag
every night
you sit and ask yourself
why the face in the mirror
looks like someone else
why can't you be somebody else
why can't you live somewhere else

Feel Found
03:14
|
|

somehow
you found a way in
slowly
slipped through my skin
it don't hurt
like i though it would
it feeds the fire
and drives my thirst
somehow
you found a way through
simple path
is the fastest route
it don't sound
like you'll ever leave
you hear me
and i feel found
somehow
you found you way to me
sweetly
we hold our breath
it don't mean
we'll always laugh
i look for you
you look for me

Sleep Deep
02:30
|
|
||
|
when I come to
in the morning
you were on my mind
sleep deep
straight through the thunder
dream you
by my side
holding on
with both hands
try to see in the dark
the only light
that lets us see
the fire in our hearts
connect the dots
trace your figure
oh, i'm following
those lines
line up words
add up some numbers
we can sing it
in rhyme
slip away
but stay together
your skin
on my skin
when we come to
in the morning
I can taste
you on
my lips
|

Better
02:03
|
|
||
|
given inhibitions
being what they are
overhanging angels of destruction
wait for us
is it better come morning
if we didn't talk
there's a world outside your window
I saw it too
won over by words
we did not understand
now is now no longer
waiting on your past
|

Move Away
02:16
|
|
||
|
move away
from what you know
pack up all your things
set em on fire
sometimes I can't
get enough of you
other times
I'm way too full
pull up your stakes
and face your past
I know your name
I know your heart

Every Other Word
02:37
|
|
||
|
up and over
here we go
close your eyes
we're late to the show
in three hours
who would know
roll your eyes
we're dancing too slow
I'm in trouble
Every other word
I'm in trouble
pulling punches
this isn't real
we're just learning
how to heal
down and under
where we hurt
drowning in the water
dying of thirst
I'm in trouble
Every other word
I'm in trouble
on your mark
you reset
check your heart
and I'll forget
up and over
we've gotten old
open those eyes
let em roll
I'm in trouble
Every other word
I'm in trouble

Getting Away
02:37
|
|
||
|
Start the clock
Tell the world
I'm not coming back
I've been to the edge
We all know
It's just gonna burn
No one is getting away
No one is getting away
I've seen the sun
I've heard the moon
Slip this skin
Back to the earth
We all know
It's our turn to lose
No one is getting away
No one is getting away

Someday Soon
02:09
|
|
||
|
It ain't easier
If I know
Where you sleep
Tonight
I've lost count
All the shooting stars
Burning out
In the fading light
Someday Soon
Speak up now
Or give it up
I know just
Where it hurts
Only when you laugh
Only when you smile
Only when you breathe
Only when you try
Someday Soon

This Wish
01:41
|
|
||
|
I keep sinking down
deep in the sand
I keep reaching out
for your hand
And I wish
I was, better at this
That I could do
something better than a wish
|
||||
12. |
Here We Are
02:29
|
|
||
|
don't believe we'll get back to that place
It's been an hour past too late
And you hardly seem to care
About the smoke in your hair
I bet you couldn't see
Your best friends for enemies
All of this it seems
To be someone else's dreams
Here we are head to toe
Asking each other, "Oh how do you know?"
We never seem surprised
About the smoke in our eyes
|

Just Like That
02:39
|
|
||
|
and just like that
you turned off the lights
never bothered to ask
is everyone alright?
just like that
you stumbled home
just like that
you walk alone
just like them
on the pages of your past
where they still live
while you write the next act
just like them
I search your face
just like them
as you turn the page
just like that
you've forgotten my worth
by the next sunset
you're a different girl
just like that
you stumble home
just like that
you walk alone
