AWOL Angel

Annabelle, don't go to war. You don't believe in what you're fighting for.
Hair of gold will be stained red. You were desperate to be fed.
Bullets rain from heaven's gates.
AWOL Angel running home to me, think of me anytime you feel lonely.
I saw your picture on my TV screen, you were too young to die. You were just eighteen.
(They all want to change you, but you're my AWOL Angel)
Bright blue eyes see skies of black. The girl I love ain't coming back.
Wish you were in my arms instead of in the desert where you bled.
Help to end my bitter state.

Die Hinrictung
02:50

Into the lion's den for reasons I forgot.
Spit into my face for the answers that I sought.
Ragged and filthy like the day that I was caught.
Truly believed to be the man that I am not.
Come to me in time of need. Come morning light I'll be free.
See you all from far above. Tell my mother I send my love.
Hung from a tree while my friends all stood and stared.
Dug through pounds of dirt for the evening they've prepared.
They let me dine in peace as if they ever cared.
Last night alive I've become self aware.

Paper Bag

Mark my words I offer nothing,
But I was everything to you.
It starts to hurt even when done softly,
I've lied a lot to a chosen few.
Paper bag hides my features.
See me now, disgusting creature.
I've been fucking up for far too long
To offer you advice on how to live.
If you only knew the friends that I've lost,
you'd realize why you can't ask me for shit.
Fading feelings, sullen silence
That I now share with you.
Put it bluntly, hurt my feelings.
It's the very least you could do.
Paper bag hides my features.
See me now, disgusting creature.
I've been fucking up for far too long
To offer you advice on how to live.
If you only knew the friends that I've lost,
you'd realize why you can't ask me for shit.

Liar's Bed
03:23
|

Your shouting echoes out of our bedroom.
Our eyes won't meet again tonight.
Sipping coffee with the girl I'm wed to.
She coughs and it takes away the quiet.
I'm the evil spot in the pillow
made of red wine and runaway makeup.
It hurts so bad it nearly kills though.
Shaking hands tell me I've had enough.
I never really meant it, but I had some demons sitting by my ear.
My angel was away with her loved ones, and I was loving someone else right here.
Movers ran away with our bedroom,
At least the half that once belonged to me.
All the pictures I had of me and you
In plastic bags and threw up in the backseat.
I never really meant it, but I had some demons sitting by my ear.
My angel was away with her loved ones, and I was loving someone else right here.
It was never really worth it, looking back I wish I'd spent time alone instead.
You never deserved this, I get that. I sleep here upon a liar's bed.

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch,
But its thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
When I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio,
I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
"Come down now," but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat it sounded thin
Upon listening
And that frankly will not fly.
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
"Come down now," but we'll stay...
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
"Come down now," but we'll stay...
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now."
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now."

Agoraphobia
02:38
|
|||
|
I've been sleeping for a while.
It's been days since I left my bed.
An overture of dopamine,
It just replays inside my head.
The blinds are drawn and I'm alone,
Ashtray filled with cigarettes.
I've barely smoked more than one,
I put them down and I forget.
Brand new day that I can miss.
I'd rather sit at home and think,
Play my guitar, and drift away.
Into my bed I'll start to sink.
My friends came by and I hid away,
They knocked and knocked at my door.
I just can't leave my house today,
I doubt I'll leave here anymore.

You go and I'll be okay
I can dream the rest away
It's just a little touch of fate, it'll be okay
It sure takes its precious time, but it's got rights and so have I
I turn my head up to the sky
I focus one thought at a time
I do not let the little thieves under my tightly buttoned sleeve
It couldn't be a longer time, I feel like I am walking blind
I have no arrival time
There are no legible signs [x2]
I like the way that you talk
I like the way that you walk
It's hard to recreate such an individual gait
You wait your turn in the queue
You say your "Sorry"s and "Thank you"s
I don't think you're ever
A hundred percent in the room
You're not in the room [x2]
Deepest of the dark nights
Here lies the highest of highs
Neopolitan Dreams, stretching out to the sea
You wait your turn in the queue
You say your "Sorry"s and "Thank you"s
I don't think you're ever
A hundred percent in the room
You're not in the room [x2]

Ohio, I Don't Know

Big blue eyes killing always, how can I object when asked by you?
I'm terrified of filling up my days by feeling the regret of not having you.
I may be high, but I mean every word babe. One day we'll be set, just us two.
I can't lie, I'm dreaming of your face when I'm lying in my bed in solitude.
There's nothing gonna take you from me,
It was you that taught me humility.
Humbled by your presence, I am a lesser being.
For you I would do almost anything.
If you could come see me tonight I would feel just fine being in your arms.
I would run faster than the light to be by your side, me and my guitar.
I am stunned, captivated by your smile. Sit here for a while, don't worry anymore.
I'm coming home to hold you real tight, to make you feel alright. Like I did before.
There's nothing gonna take you from me.
It was you that taught me humility.
Humbled by your presence I'm a lesser being.
For you I would do almost anything.
