The fading feeling in your heart That was the blood clot As it does it's part to end you Now you're starting to lose faith It's normal to let go Of the one's that push away There's a lot that can't be forgiven But more that can't be lived with Broken bottles and hearts are nothing new And it's easy when you've got nothing to lose And the sad, sad songs keep coming on And on and on... For far too long Now the reapers at the foot of the bed What a mess you made he said It's time for judgement So I spend my time down in the heed Preparing for my fate But hell's not prepared for me

Stoned in Wyoming Without my northwest friends It's starting to bore me, am I driving down a dead end? I'm driving 2,000 miles And it's gonna take a while To find my fucking place I spent so many nights It feels like most my life I was Taking that city for granted So I'll make something from nothing I'll finally break out on my own And I might just fall in love with Getting the fuck away from my home Stranded in Texas But I'm far from alone I'm gonna miss X-mas with my family back at home I did time in the heat I hope you waited for me 'Cause I will make it back

We're a lot alike my man Both broken and need a hand Drawn to each other's songs About our downfalls and wrongs It all comes through in your words The pain and the heartache and scars and the hurt I know the pills fill A space left vacant in your heart It was a battle from the start I was addicted to the back beat (and much more) Feel the emotion when you sing (now I'm torn) And you shake your head You're in the spotlight again Ah man don't live with regret about it Someday you will forget about it And it won't be the last time I swear it's better than the last time But I bet it will be the last time That I will spit these lies

You changed your name to get unstuck from your old ways. Then you blew it all up in a manic daze And I heed the words That I heard Rev say I'm sure to give my dad an early grave While working off the poisons inside you, Yeah boy, you'll have to pay You let the lies slip off your tongue And you can't get enough Of hurting the ones you love And I don't give a fuck If they're still there when I get home I'd be better off dead or alone I felt the sting Of the cold floor beneath my feet Sit down and tell me everything From the Pacific Northwest scene to the southern air you breath, Is there an end to your atrocities? We all make our mother's cry But mines taken it so far

Halloween 02:02
We drank beers in the mall parking lot On Halloween 2008 We watched a horror flick with high school friends They smelled the booze on our skin We were kids growing up in the same town We kept sane by hanging around The Hop where you'd find us out drinking In the back lot you'd find us there singing It's a long, long fall and I hope you're braced We've had some times, you're a back stabbing partner in crime We lost ourselves to fate I lost my friend Halloween 2008 Our hearts beat along to the songs that we played We were fucked; we were perfect in our own way We drank whiskey in the Hop parking lot And got to talking ending it all If I was the match then you were the fuse I'd do it all again with you I don't know who I am anymore I'm sick of failing to even the score My thoughts are lost on regrets Of losing more than my best friend Honest intentions got lost along the way We've had sometimes you're a back stabbing partner in crime We lost ourselves to fate I lost my friend Halloween 2008 Our hearts beat along to the songs that we sang We were fucked; we were perfect in our own way

Well I spent some days in the city by the bay And I held onto all the songs that they sang And even though I never seem to write Tonight I'll get it out fine Grant closure to this on time In my heart this I know It's all too sad to let go But my heart burned to dust and ash These memories you can't have back Hopelessly romanticizing city lights And the bridges that connect our lives I've been holding my head up for oh so long But it's getting hard to be strong Yeah it's getting hard to be strong I spent some days in the valley near the gulf And I'm not quite yet sold On the beauty of it all maybe it's a repression of all But I'm always giving my all

At The Stake 01:49
They said "Kid you better sober up, And find yourself not falling down for once" Well I've shaken, and I heard music in my head I know you cursed me, with the means to stay clean Now I know, it comes out awful mean Every time that I speak I thrive off the bits of glory And try to hide my selfish insecurities So forgive me, if I have forgotten some days I've wasted, so many moments in your name I build myself, out of doubts and gasoline So light it up, at the stake, they'll burn me
