Something to Say – Lyrics

on By

Everything’s got something to say 

If you let it

Lines of wood

Lines of skin

Lines I’ve written

The corridor, it’s frigid floor 

The dust that lies hidden 

The scars you don’t remember you had

Tell the most beautiful stories

Everything’s got something to say 

If you let it

Lemonade

The smell of swimming pool water on hair

Running shoes, put away

In the depths of the garage

The most mundane things you can think of

Are everything but

Everything’s got something to say 

if you let it

Baseball hats

Assorted Disney stickers

Chewed up pens, crumpled papers

And string

If you listen closely 

To those rocks

You’ll hear the cities of the past

Lost at Sea – Lyrics

on By

Lost at sea

Figure this

I’m the lighthouse

And the drunk sailor

This blackened sky

It covers me

And everything on this island

But if the moon 

shines bright enough

Tonight

For me to see

I may just drown

My few regrets

And move on

I want to claw through my ribcage

And pull my heart out

I want to crack my skull open

And rip out the memories of you

Lost at sea

But not to me

It’s all here

And clear, my dear

If I find my way 

To forgiveness 

I will keep the secret hidden

But there’s no sun

No stars to help

Me out from this cell

I may stay here

Forever more

Adrift on dry land

I want to claw through my ribcage

And pull my heart out

I want to crack my skull open

And rip out the memories of you 

Wars – Lyrics

on By

If I consider this 

Will you consider this?

If I can follow you

Will you follow me?

If this is just a war

Can I be all the factions?

I’m good at pointless suffering

I’m good at making plans

I will never raise the white flag

Even when there’s nothing left 

To fight or even die for

My negativity

Your insecurities

My artillery and cannons

Scorched earth policy

Even tiny weapons

All but long forgotten

The pettiness of thieves

Pain only love can cause

I will never raise the white flag

Even when there’s nothing left 

To fight or even die for

Mountains of salvation

That we’re bombing into gravel

Sleeping in the trenches

Poisoned riverbeds

All your friends are lookouts

but all my friends are spys

Highly trained commandos

Decipher reasons why 

And I’m a rogue nation

Brutal and dishonest

Why would I now start

to take it lying down?

Mortal enemies

Centuries in a weekend

Mortal enemies

Centuries in a weekend

If I consider this 

Will you consider this?

If I can follow you

Will you follow me?

Nobody’s Perfect – Lyrics

on By

If the moment when it happened

Is as quickly as forgotten as it came

Slammed three doors on my way out of there

And hurt my finger on the fourth

Drove away

My hand was bleeding

I got far enough so you

Couldn’t see me pick the pieces of my shattered pride up

And in my many years of being

A survivor of romanticising addicts

I learned there’s always someone, somewhere

Deeper in the well

So every chance I get I plunge in

Hoping I’ll go deep enough

That I won’t be able to come up for air this time

I’ll commit this shit to memory

The question of who’s worse, you or me?

And respond with a resounding

Nobody’s perfect

Nobody’s perfect

Nobody’s perfect

In the room where it all happened

You found the evidence of stupid small mistakes

And your collection kept expanding

It now includes some major loss

Another habit you can’t live with

Another recurring dream

Watch it burn, in the cleansing light of a brand new day

So if in your many years of being

A survivor of romanticising addicts

You’ve been that someone somewhere

Deepest in the well

So you saw your chance and plunged in

hoping you’d go deep enough

That you wouldn’t be able to come up for air, this time
