Fireworks

Spent the night counting down all the cracks in the wall I'll start having to cope with the fact that I see everything that used to hold my feet on the ground Falling apart around me Everybody knows the world will spin without you And talk about you when...

I'm feeling earthquakes A natural disaster Your lips begin to quiver words but the tension's building faster They build it too thin now the levee's giving in It should have been fixed before she came back to shore I've got wide eyes A sidetracked mind...

On occasion, my mouth still bleeds From when I cut it when I was young Give me, give me one more chance To make my old friends laugh To be just a footnote in their paragraph Saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch So they grew their nails out...

I'm glad that you still came by Heard her voice and now she's outside I was just in one of my moods Now we're laughing under the sheets in my room My mother she slept on the couch While our deer hooves make holes in the ground Maybe my brother's blood...

I've got a secret that you should know, From the deepest part of an actors heart. Lights, Camera, Kiss here comes the spark. Let's take our chances in hide and seek. I'm all in if we're playing for keeps. Cause I can't let you know, I can't let this go. Call...

Las Vegas is a risky town where lovers drink their whiskey down And sell themselves to sin. Where somewhere between cheap motels and overnight wedding bells We're sold; now it begins. But oh can't you see, What we had was great. It was more than a look in a...

I guess you're over them No big surprise you let them down again You did it all for an elevated view from the closet in your room You did it all for you And that's what I say Hold your breath You're not just hanging by a thread Nothing's left You desi...

What's your name you old ball and chain? You won't roll free tied up this way It was a good idea when you needed a home But your best days were spent on your own Please don't be there the next time that they fall If anything show up late to let them know...

I speak too often, so I'll bite my tongue and try to listen to you angel And all this time, I couldn't find someone something like you and it tends to make me believe that it's all that I need It's the interstate darling that will end our lives tonight Wel...

So I stayed the night hoping you and I Would fix this shit, sorry can I get it right But the lights are off, And I had my doubts she can't be gone Using photographs We were over exposed when the shutter snaps We were the best damn actors imitating our...

You don't need maps when you know where the sidewalk cracks Let's walk everywhere we can tonight It's dark but I tend to see more clearly in this light Being too angry at the age of sixteen Turns your early twenties to one of those dreams Where you can't find...

Honesty, is better than putting you to sleep. No one ever told me how many nights it would take to make it right. You're on your own now. And I hate the way you makes things complicated. No matter where you are I will be the one that Catches you when you fa...

I follow the signs To dead ends every time For reasons you refuse to understand No gleam in the future Just a shadow of doubt But you take my hand and we walk so proud You were the first and maybe the last one to enter my life You were the first and ma...

I could lay here all day and still feel the same Rest doesn't help when it's used this way So my friends drink booze and take their stomachs tonight While trying to kill something else on the inside So I sit around and trace all these new lines on my face...

We're holding on, but you seem to let go. Chasing your silhouette in those aspirations. But you swallowed your pride and closed your eyes, Gave into the trends, you couldn't hide. Because you can't spell friends without the ends. And I know that we're still yo...

You're running out, your heavy heart, I hope it slows you down I'll be your gravity and pull you to the ground You're running out of solid ground, I'll be that tectonic plate That shifts and brings your head back to this place Everybody does their time on...

I know it's selfish But I wanted to say If I nail myself up every day Or drop down to my knees And drive pins through my feet every day Will I rise again too I need to feel enlightened I need to Everything works out for everyone but me Everything wor...

The night is high, my mood is down Animals walk free and danger the part of town My scene makes poets, collapse and the clouds Another night just screwing things And I felt those growing pains You know I'm barely hanging on I'm burning and won't for lon...

Crashing down on consensus. It's the vice that kills defenses. Piercing through sort of feeling. It only hurts if I let it take control of me. Won't let the world weigh me down. Cause I'm coming alive. What's the deal with life lessons? If you can't for...

My Friend Detroit can't seem to keep up Tell me 'bout it man, neither can I But I still avoid sleeping in the summertime While you cut ties longer than (I-)75 In this basement, a steady climate You're the variable The wind isn't bringing anything in T...

Keep my aim true like you wanted me to Like you wanted me to You always wanted me to I'll make mistakes over and over again You taught me not to be afraid It's okay to make them again Taking my chances on leaving tonight I'm making the perfect mess of...

I wouldn’t call it romantic While veterans drank in the basement Of the packed hall where we met that fall There’s nothing I’d rather do, Than break fire codes with you And my spend my nights on your front lawn When these couple years won’t let me catch...

We were born night owls The warm air makes our eyes glow Summer makes our heads spin And the smell of hot pavement Making rain rise like spirits Holy water still freezes come winter We drink from the sprinklers The neighborhood left on And use them as...

You're a classic case of, "Look around, It's obvious!" But further down your arm from that bracelet on your wrist Your armpit's getting sore from the crutches you've been living with You want to love Him but you don't know how I can live with I don't kno...

Glory days I've wasted them away "I'm looking forward to getting older." My greeting card for the holidays Why do I always keep running towards nothing? I threw my heart into a dark alley That no one goes I traveled so far But all I've done is come b...

My heart feels young My body feels old My mind just feels like it's trying to please them both Left my back on the kitchen floor where we laid And my feet have been rotting from The places I have bathed Pessimism, you're on my side my old friend You ma...

Didn’t need drugs to teach me not to care My feet were already downers to a world up in the air I’m on the outside and I’m choosing not to look in I never fell too fast My friends and I just like being those you see at night Walking through graveyards li...

C'mon baby, lets be honest. Did you really think that you could be All I ever wanted? Learn to bite your tongue And catch your words before the run. Do you remember staying out all night? That shooting star was a satellite That fell short of our mixed signa...

First came the fountain First came the fountain of youth I'm sympathetic, I went through what they went through Next came Pet Semetary Instead of worshiping the ground, I'll keep my eyes off of it So I can turn my life around I want to make you feel l...

We have urges, we like to drive alone Ignoring the shortcuts that our parents taught us Hum, I hum, slightly out of key Through cornfields that left the pavement Sing my name, searching for a nod from above But staring at the ground is just enough The p...

Once again I stumble across old grounds Guided by my dead weight A flicker from the past Dimming from your porch light Our heads were buried deep in grass There's things I never said But everything else, yeah I meant Our heads were buried deep in the gr...

Maybe I need to go out tonight And get stabbed to death to feel alive Yeah I, I used to try A dirty drug town to the past Burn all the birthday cause I get To light, to light a fire And they can read the two But try her dad's room Where the hum of pas...

The television turns mouths and words Don't line up like they should You're hard concrete, while I'm stuck on The blood stain in there and where it came from Coffee cups collect at the side of my bed Red pens push through the bridges I've burned I tied...

Yeah We don't sink to the bottom, we rise As your life slowly rots from the inside Your throne is slowly slipping From the side of the world It's down to you in the corner You've been pushed into A mold of your father is what you've become Melting in t...

Open your eyes, read between the lines Their book is fiction and it lacks a spine They'll catch your ears They'll build you up inside Recycled one liners, don't compromise (I can) clearly see what's on the screen A distorted image of the industry But th...

Borrowed I think this year has left me borrowed Tomorrow I'm waking up the sun I'm dragging the lake slow Follow this life line of memories Tangled by the water side That's where my youth drowned It fell by the wayside I'm not counting the greys on my...

Today I waited, I waited in line to have my tooth removed By a student, a student three years into dental school They must have left some, left some chemicals in my gums Cause from time to time, from time to time my head still feels numb On the way, I pas...

I was a shy, I was a shy child holding onto my father's legs My face turning, my face turned red every time my world got Turned right upside down, I found a nickel plated coin in my pocket Oh the floor held me after I stuck it in a socket like it knew I was...

Well we sung these songs before the world could sing along, Can't take the red off our hands. And what you do is not what you say, Cause you'll never take it all the way. The first thing that they said, was "You're in over your heads. Just another novelty, ye...

When I hear footsteps under the ceiling I get a strange sinking feeling There's no bodies buried under boards You know I am the one who opened all the drawers The only thing that haunts this house Haunts this house is me When I say to her three times T...

These flowers and two ice cubes and one back bone and window view Too much of anything is never a good thing On the brooms for what it loves I am what I am, just not what I was I'm not sure of anything and I don't feel a thing I'm letting go of everythin...

We drove to East Lansing the weekend before Halloween We laughed on the porch At the fact that my favorite holiday Is the one where you get to be somebody else Where you count down until dark And light bonfires behind the house Filling up on midwestern f...

Like a landlocked Brian Wilson Always aching for the tide Our heads comfortable on the pillow But always thinking on the other side We all grew up weird enough To laugh at how we used to be Do you turn out weird enough To laugh at how you used to be I...

Found some words of wisdom Written in a bathroom stall It said we all walk the same straight line But I just happen to crawl I'm read it by the landmarks and tractors But one more use of restrooms and now Even saws from some distant seas I used my hand...

I don't want to let go If I ever told you I hope life treats you fair I take it back Life just doesn't care Life just doesn't care But I still hate the way you just expect things to change And when they don't you say it In that overly optimistic way In...

It's been two years since I've taken this way home It's comforting to know not much has changed From the fields we used to roam To sneak into those two abandoned homes Everyone's a writer, I just have a general block... There's signs in every yard Every...

Your sister started pulling her hair out But when she pulled up next to me I pretended the sun was in my eyes Instead of pretending she wasn't looking It's a quick though I gave her, sort of no way I'm thinking about you every day When I was young, dou...

Remember when I said, "Let's go to the neighborhood they haven't finished yet?" Our minds crossed as cement set "I don't want to change" Is what I should have wrote in that driveway Stay the same Some decisions you don't make All this pushed aside I'm...

You look so cute in our old shoes, But we didn't break them in for you. Not to mention your words came from our mouth, Before they turned around and walked all over you. None of those spaces should be waste on you. It's time to give up. When the lights go o...

Sometimes you choose to make any excuse Any reason to believe you belong in this room You can't live life from the sheets on your bed Sometimes you choose to make any excuse Any reason to believe you belong in this room You can't live life from the sheet...
