A Loss For Words

The only life I'll ever know, Behind these weary eyes. just a prisoner in my mind. You brought me up, You broke me down. You didn't see the future, now These walls were built strong. They'll never let me down. I started down this path alone. The...

Do you ever feel yourself blinded by the neon lights, hanging on, only to hang on? You shuffle day to day to be lost up in the fray and you're only saving grace is barely saving face. Time goes by and I wonder will we make a stand? All we want is to make...

Explosion just another side effect of SHC When did I become invincible? Where did my heart go? It leads me to believe that I was never there in the first place We are the living dead (we are, we are) The worlds only beating heart donor This world is only f...

Well, my friends, the time has come To raise the roof and have some fun Throw away the work to be done Let the music play on (play on, play on) Everybody sing, everybody dance Lose yourself in wild romance We're going to party Karamu, fiesta, forever Come on...

I climbed to the top of this mountain with no fear of tumbling down. For one brief moment in time I freed my mind of this town. Got clear sight of lights on the hills just outside the city's grip and just like that, just like that I let the moment sleep...

She, she was the one yeah... Baby blue eyes. Her hand was grazing down my thigh. We had drinks until the last call, Stumbled out into the night. Nothing better then the Boston moon, Falling into the high tide. It was just you And me baby You had me thinking th...

Take me as I am, take me broke and take me broken. Give another love a chance and we'll leave our pasts unspoken. Cause we both know. We all have our faults and have our scars. Remember when you said you haven't felt right in forever. Think with your...

Lately I've been looking back to where I must've fell off track and man I've wandered further than it seems. From the broken roads of common sense and small suburban politics, where no one's ever knowing what they mean. So you say it just to say it. Well...

So come on bottle won't you help me find the words That I only ever spit out when they're angry or they're slurred To ask you why you always scared When you don't even know whats there Outside the safety of your door What keeps you stuck in disrepair...

Close down the blinds and shut off the quiet world from the outside Plaster on a fake smile, so they won't see the bruises you hide She's the only one with a say Her face is blank like a chalkboard We'll erase it like everyday, a parachute with no ripc...

Bring me to life with a stream of anesthetic and a constant beam of light As we sew up all the black holes, patch work with love exposed What fear tastes like It numbs the tongue and burns ever so slight What fear tastes like It makes you remember headlights...

At quarter to 1 we hit the last dive on our bar crawl down route 18 You stumbled in with those tequila eyes at last call and auctioned yourself off to the bar scene. Here I am. You'll awake to another heartache, a conquest of mistakes. I'll be the...

I've been photographing shooting stars Or maybe there's an angel caught off guard Slow motion notes are captured with my eyes... I'm giving up on hope you sold (yeah sold) These fairy tales are so well told (yeah told) One bullet in your head Just one shot...

I've been dreaming of your face I see it clearer still eight thousand miles away. And even as the seasons change There's always one thing that remains, I know this image of you will never start to fade. Never start to fade. If you find yourself alone I hope y...

You broke my heart 'Cause I couldn't dance You didn't even want me around And now I'm back To let you know I can really shake 'em down Do you love me? (I can really move) Do you love me? (I'm in the groove) Ah, do you love? (Do you love me) Now that I can dan...

Your dead eyes spoke in a decimated language Of summers past, our momentary lapse, Your warm breath choked like a sea salt breeze Left me somewhere in between the spaces in your teeth, It's time to forget it. It's time to move on. Stay, won't you sta...

Here we are again, face to face with ourselves, and we're hating every second of it. What have I done to deserve this? 'Cause I'm not that person and I can't be certain that this isn't just a dream. So won't you pinch my cheeks and wake me from sleep? Wo...

I caught the glimmer in her eye, pierces right through me. Is this real? Am I falling for her? Is this real? Am I imagining things? Our eyes met, Unexpected, Maybe this is love. We're falling in in love I never thought you'd be the one Never tho...

Today you felt so numb. All your nerves cam undone. You're running to a halt. Your days are much more finite. They speed by like railway cars You're screaming, "I won't let tonight pass me by. I won't see with paralyzed eyes. No, I won't be a slave to tim...

These halls rain down in expertise. We have to wade in it. They're drowning all of my extrapolations. This jury's hung on its belief. We have to wait for it. My middle finger is my valediction. How do you want me? These floods hold us ankle deep....

Every single day I want to hear you say. I had the worst day of my life. When I'm feeling down, gagged and bound, with my lungs hanging out from the inside. I remember your face and those lonesome dimples you tried to misplace. When sorrow and hate have...

The sun in sleeping sound the darkness owns these highways just three more hours before we see the sun shine! Remember how that song goes which's now playing on the stereo until we share another toast Lets get home and make the world our own just...

The party was sieged by the drunks and the scorned, still your silence was deafening my ears. I was caught up in your smile then I turned and you were gone. Ten feet tall as I danced right down your stairs. After tonight, this frequency becomes static. I...

Can you glance at me one more second, Before you walk out that door? When miles are standing in my way, Feeling like a zombie everyday, Those tired eyes will always get me home. She said "Let's drive like we are the only ones on the road tonight." You don't...

You know exactly what I’m talking about Honeymoon eyes You’re blitzing to be the bride As your inner clock ticks by You know exactly what I’m talking about. Forced fairy tales for a life so stale But you’re much too proud to speak out You tried the single...

Tonight I'll leave all my fears behind, before they consume me this distance is killing me but willingly I would be here for you And that is why this heart is beating for you my love, as I held you in my arms... This heart is beating for you my love, as I he...

No New Years Day to celebrate No chocolate covered candied hearts to give away No first of Spring No song to sing In fact here's just another ordinary day No April rain No flowers bloom No wedding Saturday within the month of June But what it is, is something...

Oooh woah ahooh ohh ooohhh Let me tell you now Ohh oh When I had you to myself I didn't want you around Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd But someone picked you from the bunch One glance was all it took Now it's much too late for me to t...

I was a hollow shell of my former self and I missed her so much I felt physically ill. Wasted more than a spall blaming everyone else, with my mouth on the bottle and mind gone to hell. But it's time that I face the fact that she's gone and she's not comin...

Tossed and turned to the gentle humming on another 12 hour drive. Never felt so alone and so crowded in all my life. Never really awake, never really asleep, with a head full of promises my heart can barely keep. And we'll never quit. It's been that way si...

I stood like a czar under a bold Russian sky Unbreakable. Unwavering against the curvature of time. Unbreakable. Picture me on a a crowded Tokyo street. Unbreakable In a dingy London meet, or burning in the desert heat. Unbreakable. I'm a jet setter, west bou...

By the time that your read this, I'll be touching down halfway across the world The open road is aching for my return My resignation, my resurrection So many things I cannot miss I hope my friends will remember me as this Burn, burn (burn, burn) Like roman...

This is a science broken down into a routine that you know so well And it tells you how to change the current With the sound of a thousand hearts beating And breaking through this ground you stand on But you don't even know what you stand for [x2] It's sad t...

I don't need the warmer weather. Don't need beaches of white sand. I don't need the rows of palm trees decorating strips of land. I don't need what's viewed as heaven. I don't need the sights and sounds. And it took me years of searching. But I've...

How can you sit there in your room like a caged up refugee? Barely alive and all worn out with the fake plastic trees. Is it the only thing that makes you feel like life has meaning? The scars are tattooed down your arms. All we wait for is everything that us...

There's such little time. I can't sleep these walls are closing in on me, through this struggle to survive. The shuffle of the E.K.G. muzzles these slowing heartbeats. Can they be revived? We are spread on this gurny left for dead, praying this weight w...

I've got sunshine On a cloudy day And when it's cold outside I've got the month of May Hey-eyy I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? It's my girl I'm talkin' 'bout girl My girl I've got so much honey That the bees envy me I've got a sweeter song...

You try to make me feel stuck while you break into stride But we're both too stubborn to swallow our pride But I step back and take a look at our lives And realize that mine is one of a kind You wake up, you go to work You fake love you marry her A...

You said you wouldn't let it go to your head. The spotlight has added ten pounds to it. Self accolades are self defeating; You're a bad magic act, an old riff rehashed. You're no pioneer. Who will you be tomorrow? The cards you were holding bore a r...

You'll hear the sirens as they break down your door With skulls as thick as stone (as thick as stone) They'll have arms drawn and hands over badges And sear your flesh from bone (your flesh from bone) 41 ways to put you in your place 41 ways to say;...

Oh fractal heart, she's really got her hooks deep in you now. Oh tired brain, she's running circles around us again. This time I come clean. I'm anxious to sweep you off your feet. This time I come clean. I'm anxious to get between your sheets. Lat...

We both sat there in denial I was miles away You dusted off your old flats And you practiced your plies Blank stares across an empty vacuum of stubbornness and vanity Instead of saying what you really mean You just dance away from me I know your shadows I'...

Glad to hear you were doing nothing with your life, Trapped in your studio apartment, Smoked out on memories with a laundry list Of "should have beens" etched into your sofa bed Whoah-oh-whoa In your race with time The best parts of life are going to pass yo...

When you're with him do you still feel alone? So lower your draw bridge; You know what the truth is. While you can't sleep though the whole night, He's lying beside you, hiding nights from you. He's not the one for you. He knows exactly what to say when you'r...

Now, if you feel that you can't go on All your hope is gone Life is filled with much confusion Happiness is just an illusion And your world is tumblin' down Darling, reach out Reach out I'll be there to love and shelter you I'll be there, I'll always see you...

Another day, another Podunk town Another muggy afternoon with our addiction Fiending for the next rest stop, legion hall, basement show or parking lot We'll get back, get back, we'll get back to the van life again The same old day, the same beaten path...

It's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time Waking up and feeling every dream that passes through you and me It's easier to pretend these nightmares are in the narrative Well as we read the programs of our lives and practice our lines This must be...

It's Christmas eve and we're in Cleveland We'll make it back if there's no snow Just like 4 years ago in Philly When we barely made it home To all those nights spent on the road With 8 hours left hours left to go With the highway as a home I spent...

These myopic words I rewrote again to say. Tangoed with the urge of begging you to stay. Something deep in me knew you had to slide away. I was a dollar short and a thousand days too late. Champagne Mornings at 80 degrees. You knew that So Cal was ne...

Don't let the truth misguide you. You'll never know her true intentions of all the fear that lies inside you. Thrown headfirst into submission. Let's go! Pray for the day that you can save your place in line. Trade in your faith, your beliefs. Trade every...

Oh yeah yeah yeah Now if there's a smile on my face It's only there trying to fool the public But when it comes down to fooling you Now honey that's quite a different subject But don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Really I'm sad, oh I'...

The alarm clock rings… I feel so weak, And the sunlight shining in my eyes it makes it hard to sleep. The rooms are cold, Smell like piss and blood. Everyday I wake I feel I’m knee deep in the flood. Spending days passing through and moving on, Never realizing...

Johnny sits alone seeking, Comfort in Lennon. Pressing foot steps, Were blowing with wind. All the weeds to pull him under. Being force-fed meds and structure. The itch under his skin, Had him screaming again. It didn't sink in. He was sinking. N...

Living like a captive in my home Feeling sorry for myself, petrified to be alone You showed up and then you said to me hey boy, It's time to stop singing, it's time to start living It's not much but all we've got, is each other We are bitter broken people, bu...

There's no soul left in this town anymore All the makeshift features shuffled out the door There is no absolute beyond what you know I would have never believed you a decade ago Fallen father, you gave us faith A sweet reminder to carry us on our way...

Ooh, this old heart of mine, been broken thousand times Each time you break away, I fear you're gone to stay Lonely nights that come, memories that go Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more Maybe it's my mistake To show this love I feel inside 'Cau...

There's an image Running through my head at night Imposing on every thought and keeping me from sleep It's an image Of myself at seventeen Screaming "your sincerity Masked everything we once believed" Can I retrace my steps back to that place? I k...

Mother, mother There's too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today - Ya Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only lo...

Close down the blinds And shut off the quiet world on the outside. Plaster on a fake smile, So they won't see the bruises you hide. She's the only one with a say. Her face is blank like a chalkboard, And we'll erase it like everyday, A parachute with no ripc...

Paint a picture as we're walking on the street, a collage of paint, cement and steam. Just like Deja Vu, still life in a dream. There you stood just watching as the rain poured down on me. We were once a canvas, so bright and full of color. Now we've b...

I need love, love To ease my mind I need to find, find Someone to call mine But mama said "You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait" She said, "Love don't come easy It's a game of give and take" You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait You got to...
