Sit outside your apt I can’t take any of this I’d do anything for you Days over, I didn’t stop there The sign says everything falls Apart and into place for you Savor the memories on the way down And if this is how it goes Keep all your secrets on the way out Not gonna dig this ditch for you Snipers in the building Where do we go, when we go? Days spent cleaning after you Seams have come undone Now what do we do? I see through The pain of chasing after you Savor the memories on the way down And if this is how it ends Keep all your secrets on the way out Not gonna dig this ditch for you Buried hatchets watch them grow From me…to you She waited there for you Keep all your secrets on the way down Won’t you come back home? Take all the memories on your way out Won’t you come back home?

January, you're miles away Was it wrong to let you in? You were there out in the rain It was always sink or swim Do what you feel You go and you take it away You go and you give it away You go and you take it away Take my heart it don’t beat anyway You go and you give it away You go and you take it away You go and you give it away Take my heart it don’t beat anyway for you April nights, I hear your name Was it time to let this go? You’re still there, out of the frame It was always wearing thin Say what you mean Take my heart it don’t beat anyway You go and you take it away You go and you give it away You go and you take it away Take my heart it don’t beat anyway Mean what you say It’s the idea of sleeping That keeps me up all night Is this the bed we’re making? Struggle to cover up You go and you give it away You go and you take it away You go and you give it away Take my heart it don’t beat anyway You go and you take it away You go and you give it away You go and you take it away Take my heart it don’t beat anyway for you Say what you mean...

Blackouts 02:50
I can hear their footsteps, they’re calling out to me I’ll take them for a walk, a place to bury one more stranger We all eat lies when our hearts are so hungry A quiet violence no words can escape from On the way down, there’s no way out Home is where the heart is, but nothing good can stay Hold your breath now, take back the sound Closet's a cemetery, it’s just the parts we play Things aside I feel the same way I break stride just to hear you say You can’t take anything from me Settle down into our caskets The bright lights will separate The promise in everything you said These days are long, the nights are few So cut your losses now On the way down, there’s no way out Home is where the heart is, but nothing good can stay Hold your breath now, take back the sound Closet's a cemetery, it’s just the parts we play We measure meaning with sentiment Faces on places we call home Pavement floors that we once called our beds Grew cold and faded like the rest The blackouts have turned to grey The street lights will separate On the way down, there’s no way out Home is where the heart is, but nothing good can stay Hold your breath now, take back the sound Closet's a cemetery, it’s just the parts we play

Daybreak 02:07
Straitjacket spread on bare skin Fitting feels just right Words crawl across the page To let down and linger Diffused the handheld look in your eyes Buried down to the core These backseat love affairs On warm nights send shivers A million day breaks Couldn’t keep me from you No place is safe It’s only safer They couldn’t keep me from you Still voices linger Broken skin beneath the sheets Sweat pours over these nights Inhale the evidence It runs through my fingers My fists are full of blisters And borrowed lullabies A hollow vacuum that you wore A million day breaks Couldn’t keep me from you No place is safe It’s only safer They couldn’t keep me from you Still voices linger Couldn’t keep me from you... You fill the space between the hole in my head

You can’t keep dancing with the devil and wonder why you’re still in hell? Putting the rope around my neck The stains are fresh The fabric wet And you, you crawl, you drag me around And you, you run with scissors to feel alive And you sink me Raised by wolves and schoolyard gossip Embrace every angle, I bought and sold it all for you It’s too late, time is ticking Arrived dead on the first date Sold out without a clue from you And you, you crawl, you drag me around And you, you run with scissors to feel alive And you sink me Until we’re free to meet again Wrap your words around my neck We choke on better days Don’t go back there anymore And you, you crawl, you drag me around And you, you run with scissors to feel alive And you sink me
