Pretend That It's All Fine 04:53
lyrics

You're thinking of staying another night, it's not your turn We know what happens, so stay away Just please don't break this for me I'm holding pattern, killing time Just please dont' break this for me I'm praying that we pass this night Watch your back, I'll sit as long as I have to, be the padlock inside your heart Is catching fire among the Dried up brush we built up around this place I'll stay until the sun has come back to light your eyes And make every thing all right, we'll never be just fine Until we wash our hands of this I'm thinking we run to the west coast, leave this all behind Just pack your suitcase, we leave dawn Just go and tell me it's right To make this promise become time Just go and tell me it's right I'm praying that we pass the night Watch your back, I'll sit as long as I have to, be the padlock inside your heart Is catching fire among the Dried up brush we built up around this place I'll stay until the sun has come back to light your eyes And make every thing all right, we'll never be just fine Until we wash our hands of this mess We made a mountain out of our Tiny hills, we fall down behind the Backs of trucks, they're stealing our hearts in Front of us, and we can't do anything Wash away the sins that weight you down Inside your mind, your heart is beating like a Drum, this bass will fill your body, replace the Bruise and cuts, the brights lights will steal your Bright lights will steal your smile Watch your back, I'll sit as long as I have to, be the padlock inside your heart Is catching fire among the Dried up brush we built up around this place I'll stay until the sun has come back to light your eyes And make every thing all right, we'll never be just fine Until we wash our hands of this mess We made a mountain out of our Tiny hills, we fall down behind the Backs of trucks, they're stealing our hearts in Front of us, and we can't do anything

Secondhand Smoke (Slow Burn) 04:35
lyrics

You sit alone, a sullen mark Thrown shadow beat across your face And all you can see beyond your walls Are pictures we drew of yesterday They bring you back to better years Stood silent, defiant, original Now reaching just out of your reach Are these memories, they fade like water Colored stains that mark your heart until you drop Let's take this now, step by step You're only as good as you swear you can There's no rewinding this video tape What's done is done, now we'll burn it up This sunset is blinding eyes I swear we'll meet you out again Don't forget to leave a note and tie up all loose ends We fell off this wagon wheel Before the cart could pass you by Keep saying you'll catch the next train, wish for better tides Now graying past beyond your years You pull your past over your eyes Like a blanket shutting out the world From all you know you should have tried We'll shake the corners when you're gone And try to find a sliver of Legacy you left behind We'll build you up and hide your Colored stains that mark your heart until you drop Out of this old race you found yourself without a tale This sunset is blinding eyes I swear we'll meet you out again Don't forget to leave a note and tie up all loose ends We fell off this wagon wheel Before the cart could pass you by Keep saying you'll catch the next train, wish for better tides This sunset is blinding eyes I swear we'll meet you out again Don't forget to leave a note and tie up all loose ends We fell off this wagon wheel Before the cart could pass you by Keep saying you'll catch the next train, wish for better tides I always pictured second-hand This smoke is curling past your lungs My appetite for killing friendships never seems to end I always pictured second-hand This smoke is curling past your lungs My appetite for killing friendships never seems to end

Reach your hand up from the sinking hole we've built a Monument out of our bleeding souls Falling down was never half this fun before you Fell too far, you gambled half of your paycheck tonight Stack another forgotten parade The bricks are falling around all you made Think your friends and your family saved This mess is just your legacy you inked your hands in print I don't care to be the one to tell you Goodnight and good luck The quicksand Will stop the night And wipe out all the evidence How does it feel to be the one on the short end (You're the only one left) This time you'll be screaming for help (And no one is coming) It's never enough This armor can only pretend to fend of the arrows You're holding the blame As if it were filling your suitcase, breaking the corners It's over, you're breathing sand It's filling both your lungs with truth It's over, you're breathing sand It's filling both your lungs with truth Steal the only piece of moonlight that's shining from Monuments that we'll create of you Climbing out will never be the ending that you Hope to catch, but it'll never never slow you down again I don't care to be the one to tell you Goodnight and good luck The quicksand Will stop the night And wipe out all the evidence I don't care to be the one to tell you Goodnight and good luck The quicksand Will stop the night And wipe out all the evidence I don't care to be the one to tell you Goodnight and good luck The quicksand Will stop the night And wipe out all the evidence I don't care to be the one to tell you Goodnight and good luck The quicksand Will stop the night And wipe out all the evidence

Watch out, they're coming right across the courtyard for you We're breaking down this moment and splitting pieces again Fight back, until you've lost your sense of being for good Don't think the name you've manufactured will come and save you this time But who will back your corner and hold your hand When all the chips hit floor, you bet was More than you held in your coat pocket the alibi Will stick around again Fists up, and drive your head down plow through all these mistakes Don't let the cracks show through your walls that you built up this time Don't stop, believing that your faith was right all along We'll make it right before the dawn can fire up past the night We're making up all this time, the car is idling now The meter's running up a bill that you can't cash on the town Your dime is worth nothing now (that all your friends have skipped out) They left you holding the bag, so show them how you break out But who will back your corner and hold your hand When all the chips hit floor, you bet was More than you held in your coat pocket the alibi Will stick around again I know you're everything I need This drug is filling my veins, my lungs can't take all this heat Please bring this peace of mind to me I can't believe that this fell apart before I hit big I know you're everything I need This drug is filling my veins, my lungs can't take all this heat But I can't help myself to be I'll take this sentence without a second thought on the streets So jump this turnstile, we're skipping out Pretend we made it, but we both know we're not So jump this turnstile, we're skipping out Pretend we made it, but we both know we're not I know I"m not the only one who feels this way they think this end will make us regret our last day I know you're everything I need This drug is filling my veins, my lungs can't take all this heat Please bring this peace of mind to me I can't believe that this fell apart before I hit big I know you're everything I need This drug is filling my veins, my lungs can't take all this heat But I can't help myself to be I'll take this sentence without a second thought on the streets

Close your eyes pretend that you're building a Bridge tonight between all the bullshit we laid This store isn't open, all of the blinds are drawn and shade Avert your stares now, we're taking all these hostages Out for a little ride, we'll make the county line tonight Just don't think that you're pulling this anchor apart This ship is sailing cross the sea We've stolen the light, it's guiding us right There's treasure hidden past these reefs We'll dig till our fingers can't fight back and bleed I know there's something out beyond setting sun These dreams and images were far too real too long We're stealing back your thoughts, and taking what we lost This broken mountain can't contain our screaming for long Make me think that I was the one who came Up with this, there's no other way to succeed My own insecure thoughts will prevail Before these thieves figure out that we won This store isn't open, all of the blinds are drawn and shade Avert your stares now, we're taking all these hostages Out for a little ride, we'll make the county line tonight Just don't think that you're pulling this anchor apart Watch the pilot fall to pieces before he can Pull the throttle back and nose this engine back to the sky I know there's something out beyond setting sun These dreams and images were far too real too long We're stealing back your thoughts, and taking what we lost This broken mountain can't contain our screaming for long I know there's something out beyond setting sun These dreams and images were far too real too long We're stealing back your thoughts, and taking what we lost This broken mountain can't contain our screaming for long

Please just tell me that this day will never end, I need to breathe the Salty air and fill my throat with conscious never-ending photo Pictures worth a thousand words can't fill the gap you dug along my Gutter heart, your dagger's touch just cut right through me (cut right through me) Pick up your pieces and stop stealing moments Your option is failing before we could jump your engine dry The keys aren't filling in your locks So keep your answers short and simple Make your way in front of me I don't care what you say or think or feel or do I told you last december I don't think we'll make it out alive But here we are trying to be the best that we can be You skate alone and fall apart Without my withered thoughts to guide Your eyes blinded by tears we told ourselves we'd cry You're not the monster stumbling Across the towns just selling scenes We made this on our own and now we fall Please just tell me that you second guessed yourself when you went off the tracks And tried to run this train into the lake we thawed when we met last You only haunt my memory of every laugh you tried to steal Away from me (you gave it back) but now we're all alone again Drive through the guardrail and brace for the hand rail Your options are failing before we could jump your engine dry

Spent I'm spending my day Just waiting for rain And praying that someone will take me away To better my place My life and my ways And some day we'll remember all of this pain But that day's not today Today is just rain That washes away all the dirt and the strain Take all the words that you spit out of your mouth And shove them so far down they'll never see the the light of day I can't believe I even tried to defend you for so many years Liar, you liar, you sold us a piece of shit Liar, you liar, we swalled out it down like the rest Liar, you liar, there's nothing left to say But take yourself so far away Spent I'm spending my day Just waiting for rain And praying that someone will take me away To better my place My life and my ways And some day we'll remember all of this pain It's time to come clean And face all your friends We'll make this as short As we possibly can Spent I'm spending my day Just waiting for rain And praying that someone will take me away To better my place My life and my ways And some day we'll remember all of this pain

Wish it's over now, I admit I dropped the ball It's fighting me every step I try to take I'm never right, don't criticize You'll find out you'll never come right Words falling short, you're never sure If I can make this up before You pull me up, I'm falling, I'm falling apart My seams are now stretched so thin, I'll play this part Until my breath is ragged and gasping for air This matinee can't fill the Friday seats anymore Suck this open air, breathe it in before I drop The only thing left that I can grab a hold My values were left behind before this move There's nothing and no one left to hold on to I'm fading fast (martini kiss) Will be the last thing on these lips The fire burns (while leaving scars) Of broken oaths we never kept You pull me up, I'm falling, I'm falling apart You pull me up, I'm falling, I'm falling apart My seams are now stretched so thin, I'll play this part Until my breath is ragged and gasping for air This matinee can't fill the Friday seats anymore You're looking for an answer that you cannot fulfil And hoping for a chance to relive all your thrills These promises you never meant to keep are coming back To haunt your dreams while you're awake (I can't take presssure building up inside I can't own your answers this is what you get) You pull me up, I'm falling, I'm falling apart My seams are now stretched so thin, I'll play this part Until my breath is ragged and gasping for air This matinee can't fill the Friday seats anymore You pull me up, I'm falling, I'm falling apart My seams are now stretched so thin, I'll play this part Until my breath is ragged and gasping for air This matinee can't fill the Friday seats anymore Anymore...I'm falling apart

Lines you're feeding everybody else but I can see through All of your smoke screen your not fooling Anyone else, the pieces are falling around all the boxes you built Above your high hopes that you'd get this to fly Your wings are clipped, but I don't care This isn't just a drill This is reality We're sending troops to kill Everything that you love I will hunt you down and pull you out Before you damage anybody else Your cancer will not spread Before the spring can root you out Life is more than leaving after everybody else has seen better Days will be a memory before you lose control I'm sick of carrying all of this anger I'm losing my self beneath The hole you've dug this mess won't self destruct Tonight you'll meet your maker, mark my words This isn't just a drill This is reality We're sending troops to kill Everything that you love Just roll up all your walls In a mocking defense You think that you can save All your petty regrets I will hunt you down and pull you out Before you damage anybody else Your cancer will not spread Before the spring can root you out I will hunt you down and pull you out Before you damage anybody else Your cancer will not spread Before the spring can root you out I will hunt you down and pull you out Before you damage anybody else Your cancer will not spread Before the spring can root you out You think that you're special Well you're not Your're just as sick as all of us

Roll back the clock Wind it down before they catch on to all of this mess We haven't lost yet The fight was won before we began So take back all of your biting comments They're all cutting through my paper thin So now I'm left just holding my breath It doesn't seem to make a dent It's just a stupid old dream, I'm not the only one here We both became the monster hiding underneath the cold air We're stopping all of the press to get this story in print The pages bleed through this paper, leaving nothing to say I want to say that I don't care about the things that we did I'd give my life to take them back and go and live them again This is the last song I'll write about these awful regrets They're growing old, and so are we, let's pick up where we left So is this over now I want this over now I can't take all the fighting, just slip away So is this over now I want this over now I can't take all the fighting, just slip away So is this over now I want this over now I can't take all the fighting, just slip away So is this over now I want this over now I can't take all the fighting, just slip away

Your blistered story isn't making any sense at all We're falling victim to this rain It's pounding inside my head I'm stuck pretending that I came Prepared to talk you off this ledge You say you never meant to drag me down into your hole But here we're standing face to face I'm saying all the things I can They're flying daggers past your ears Resounding echos, passing time So now we've come to blows We know you won't fight or man up (Just face the truth, you're lying only to yourself) Just throw your rifle down And quit this masquerade panic switch (Now lock the doors, you know that you can't own your life) Run, Run, take this chance and leave me behind Scream, Scream, all your rage is rending you blind Run, Run, take this chance and leave me behind Scream, Scream, all your rage is rending you blind So now we've come to blows We know you won't fight or man up (Just face the truth, you're lying only to yourself) Just throw your rifle down And quit this masquerade panic switch (Now lock the doors, you know that you can't own your life)
