Ghosts

Don't act like you don't see me
Sever the ties
Keep me in the back of your mind
(Keep me in the back of your mind)
I know it might be too late
Don't leave me now
I'll stick around forever
Haunting the likes of this town
Can you believe what you don't see?
I'll walk through this memory
These silent screams, these grinding teeth
I've seen this and I might believe
You swim all around me
Through the air and I'm watching you
(Why can't you go on seeing that?)
Center my thoughts for
Something I don't like to think about
I'm in between now
Can you believe what you don't see?
My past is my enemy
I've seen this and now I believe

A Broken Cadence
03:39
|
|||
It's all just playback and rewind
You'll find yourself slipping between days
Days when you felt okay
You're only lonely in you're mind
Confined to thoughts of regret and dismay
But I'm here for you always
Please don't question me
You won't like what you hear
These words consistently swim round my mouth
I fear for the worst
This broken cadence feels all right
A fitting end to fitting right in
I'd ignite the world tonight
I'm sorry for the way I am
You're better than me and my selfish plans
Don't let go of my trembling hands
Take back the things we love
You know it's not enough to fall

Fireworks
04:03
|
|||
Losing hope, sailing alone across your night sky
I'm trying to show you fireworks so
I took the back roads to nowhere
You said that you'd be there
Digesting the warmer air
We always gamble with cheap talk
Cracks in the sidewalks
It's too late to just walk away
Losing hope, sailing alone across your night sky
I'm trying to show you fireworks so why don't you notice
My eyes comprised of everything out of focus
The sound of silence setting in
If I could get in I'd follow
This buzzing my hollow incessant head makes
Now you're always on my mind
Will you come down?
The motives that I found
I question but somehow you're all I need (all I need)
Lost my faith
Made mistakes
Kept myself awake
Just to see how if felt to be strung out
I can say that I'll change that I'll keep you safe
Caroline, don't give up on me I'll come around

I'm getting better at walking away
'Cause I know that it'd be the same
You're growing roots where you think you should stay
But I'm always the one to blame
Ill trade these words with you
The verse repeats like clockwork in my head
Don't let me fall asleep now
And oh (and oh) I always, I always
Forget to forget you when I'm on the mend through
With all (with all) your folding convictions
Not following through with nothing to lose
Belated goodbyes rehearsed all the time
Decorate my abondoned pride
I'm only here 'cause I'm not sure which side
Of the fence that I should reside
Second chances they fade
As the night turns to day
Diverting valiant plans
For my humble escape
I'm just so lost in this
And oh (and oh) I always, I always forget to forget you

Stars
04:54
|

What is left to know? You know that I can make it, I can make it.
Follow the only light on at home. Stars will take you,
stars will take you home.
Call me when you reach the east coast.
Send my love and regrets to the Atlantic.
Follow the only light on at home. Stars will take you,
stars will take you...
Somethings missing and it doesn’t come so easily,
but on the surface the water sways me back to sleep.
Goodnight brown eyes.
Secrets sink like S.O.S. calls that are not heard,
I’ll melt for good if you don’t keep your word.
Goodnight brown eyes.
Tell me anything other than “I’m so sorry, I’m still only
lost at best, looking for the answers in the constellations
or just points of reference.”
When you find yourself, the sky will sing out loud like
whoa-oh-oh
Somethings missing and it doesn’t come so easily,
but on the surface the water sways me back to sleep.
Goodnight brown eyes.
Secrets sink like S.O.S. calls that are not heard,
I’ll melt for good if you don’t keep your word.
Goodnight brown eyes.
From rest stops, roof tops I will never let you down.
Time slows, hold back, let me write this down.
Just make it hurt. Just make it hurt.
Tell me anything other than, “I’m so sorry,
lets just talk this out.”
Tell me anything other than, “I’m so sorry,
lets just talk this out and come clean.”

Bracing For Impact
04:39
|
|||
I just can't take that look in your eyes
Kill the headlights
I can't remember why my conscience
Stayed at home tonight
I know, I know
You wont, You wont
Step into the cold until I'm shaking at the bones
You never told me
You never told me
Burn what's worth fighting for
To keep my lonely fingers warm
I'm losing all I've known
I'll carve my heart from stone
Become someone you used to know
Why can't I let this go?
Crashing the same car 'til we both start
To give up on the notion
That this motion can be stopped
I know, I know
I am a ghost of everything
You thought I was before you felt alone
You never told me
You never told me it would be this hard
Nothing ever changes
Bracing myself for this
I never thought it'd come to it
The end of calm upon the sea
The end of calm upon my sea
Bracing myself for this
I never thought it'd come to it
The end of calm upon the sea
The end of calm comes over me

Shades of Resilience
04:06
|
|||
We'll burn before we fade forever, forever
Shades of resilience together, forever
We're chasing seasons as they change
Cause this won't feel the same way without you
My colors are bleeding through
Can we make peace with the mistake of never even trying?
Confiding my thoughts now is all I can do
All that I can do
We'll burn before we fade forever, forever
Shades of resilience together, forever
Taking on water like we knew this would be the end
(Taking on water like we knew)
Of everything we loved
Break down, shake out all of these feelings
That we're only wasting our time here
It's harder with each new year
You are the things that you believe in
So we keep on singing "Be The Young"
Can you live with what you've become?
What you have become
This is so far from done
So ask me anything
And anything I'll tell you
Will serve to misdirect your mouth
You've got to think this through

Calling Home
03:43
|
|||
How'd you know we would fall together?
Calling home to tell you that I'm fine
And now I go crazy in the winter
Waiting for a west coast ocean drive
Soon you'll find that this is fleeting
So repeating is only time
That you'll never get back
Something's coming over me
We're closer to forever and
The world is at my feet
It's the way the north sky hit the water
How I knew it'd never be the same
Now I need, I need you more than ever
Just take my pain I feel while I'm away
Something's coming over me
We're closer to forever and
The world is at my feet
(So please)
So please just hold your tears and let me leave
I need your word to breathe
Something's coming over me
We're closer to forever and
The world is at my feet
(So please)
So please just hold your tears and let me see
These California skies surrounding me
The ocean air resounding clarity
I need a reason to believe
