I'll start out prisoner of your old ways
I'll find out the power in which you engage
Through my shouts a wave comes crashing in
and I find out that bones are just too thin
With my weapons drawn
I heard you sing your song
I failed to engage, and my heart
it filled with rage
I'll use my voice to push the bad away

Split in Half

I waste my life away
when the clouds roll up and the sky turns grey
but I've got one thing on my mind
that's me and you, and all we have is time
I love the iron grip you have
that makes me feel so split in half
pulls me through your blinding eyes
so I only feel bad half the time
and I think you're the only one who gets it
and I think you're the only one who respects it
for when there's things that I don't know
I'll be there when there's nothing left to show
little glistening love of mine
let me show you just how fine
things become through all my days
and how things won't should we part ways
now I'm just looking for a place
where people can move around my pace
for I feel like I'm being dragged along
in a world that expects you to be strong
and I think you're the only one who gets it
and I think you're the only one who respects it
for when there's things that I don't know
I'll be there when there's nothing left to show

spending too much time
trying to come up with words
that I don't really mean
and if it isn't right
I'll try to make it better
because that should be human nature
I know that I'm wrong
I want the world to sing a song
that doesn't make our problems worse
the world won't hold hands
instead here's a list of demands
so slap a sticker on yourself
friend your time is running out
so tell me how it's constructed somehow
socially, economically, and just all around
and I watched the earth burn to the ground
words we throw around
to show we have compassion down
takes its toll on all of us
and the words we make up
to shut the others up
will only divide us even further
what are we supposed to be when no one's happy
in a world that has the potential to give us everything
we don't utilize it well, we drag it all to hell
where there is a nice warm spot for all of us
friend your time is running out
to save us somehow
doesn't anyone care anymore
or is this what we're destined for

Man With the Gun
01:37

we used to fall in love with each other
before the things in life destroyed one another
god damn we had some fun
but now those times are all done
disappearing for fun
playing the man with the gun
every day
this was before our lives became so crazy
and all the things we did became so hazy
god damn, it takes us away
when we don't want it to change
it's just a game that we play
just so we have to pay
to stay alive
I want to go back there
I wish to sit and stare
at these dreams so far away
but it all has to change
no we don't get a say
on how fast it all
goes away

I miss the yellow in the rainbow
I miss the color in your face
I miss the energy we'd all conduct between us
when you would crash the place.
and I know that I'm not right outside your door
but I bet you wouldn't even wanna think about it
I bet you would have a lot to say about it.
I bet the heavens are splendid
when blessed upon your grace
I hope you smiled when you woke up
in a new house, in a new place.
and I know that we're not with you where you are.
it's just a matter of time when you think about it
but I bet you wouldn't even wanna think about it

she asks if everything's okay when you're in town
you answer yes as you lie back down
and you know that you're answer's not right
while your best friend's in the other room dying inside
but that's alright
my brother's slurring and talking into yours
while I look through everything that you left in drawers
that look much bigger than they really are
and if I focus I can see really far
and it's a sight
into the future where I can see everything's the same
just a couple of negatives looking for a positive change
you know it's bad when you out it to the back of your mind
while your best friend's in the other room dying inside
but that's alright
there's dirt on your hands, there's dirt on mine
she says "hey man, he's killing my vibe"
well vibes are all we have in this golden age
or maybe I'm just fucked up because of something I ate
but I'll be fine
I've really gotta reach to touch the ceiling of this place
he's really gotta reach to find something he can face
while you spill your guts out all over the floor
I start to wonder why I try anymore
but I'll be fine
not gonna lie, it's pretty refreshing
to talk to someone who doesn't need something
I'm starting to feel like that's all I'm good for
you don't even treat my like a friend anymore
but that's just fine

I have lost my novelty
and you've lost your head
before we know you keep going
but who's gonna stop you friend?
I've been stricken with familiarity
but I still feel down
you lost, forgot, and judged me
when I'm nowhere to be found
your same old melodies
stuck on repeat
if I get tired of listening
too bad for me
I'm held to an image
we both look the same
more inside than outside
but we still play this game
and I believe you're playing me
for what I really am
a fool without confidence,
a fool who can't stand
you're a hard one to read
increasing in difficulty
if there's one thing I love
it's the thought of you loving me
I'm sick of the monotony
there's no point to this scheme
how can you refuse to be around me?
we're supposed to be a team

well I'm glad that you don't need me anymore
like you did when we first closed the door
and I'm glad that you're finally over it
but I want you to know
you can still come home
to me
well I'm sure it's cold where you are
but that's okay, warmth isn't very far from you
I wish that I could say the same thing
but I can't, because it's just me
and I know you can't warm up to me
I would light a fire if it's what you'd like,
it'll take me some time, but that's alright
because it's for you
it's a shame that I cannot sit there next to you
because I'm so cold, but you won't be fooled again
by me
I wish I could take back everything I said that night, if only I could
well if only I could
