Grieves

Down with your back against the bottom There's somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up Toss another empty bottle to the bay What did you say, what did you do When life came crashing down on you? I should have seen it when you broke down Stop a...

My baby just cares for me [x2] But he's never there for me [x2] Baby it's killing me, that I may have to leave, go A friend of mine once told me when I was out on the road That you have an artist inside you and you cannot be controlled And any way that y...

[Verse 1: Grieves] We used to fly around the world in a cardboard box, now you're waiting for the bus trying to fit in with the flock, different socks, on one hand you've got a wild imagination, and on the other, is man against the clock, it never stops, we u...

Woke up in a cold sweat Alone where the ghost slept I never thought I was the type I would have took the frost but I must have made it obvious Cause every time it happens I'm the one who gets the bite Fading like the lights on the last bus out of here Ki...

I guess it started when the lights went out And everybody started running round in circles tryin' to figure it out I could feel it Wedged in my ribs it felt freezin' As my cold air blew out Dance through the evening, paranormal Slowly being called to the green...

The night is like a blanket that's suffocating the fire/ With a bow to the string and a note from the choir...I believe/ And that's about as far as it goes when you've been riding on the wings of a bloody murder of crows/ Hold it all out/ Throw it into the...

My whole life I've been staring out the cracks Slipping words among the people that get close enough to grasp it And you're looking at me like another broken glass Getting closer to the edge without emotional attachment. And maybe you don't see that all of...

[Verse 1] As simple as I am I got a puzzle for a heart Laid it on the table in the living room And rummaged through the parts The child in me is running through the yard While the man that I'm supposed to be is searching for a breath in the cigar smoke ch...

They all look the same Capitol Hill boys that look like Capitol Hill girls Capitol Hill girls that look like Capitol Hill boys You came home like you were not there You were not not there I do not like that sort of thing, not at all Not at all Capito...

I feel like the last light candle in the back of my mind. Both palms to the future, no slack in the line But no qualms with it. I don't flip a coin like the rest of 'em, Or fall into line and live life by the pendulum. Never would I sell my soul. Find t...

Here I am sittin on top of the world With nothin but a bottle... of Gin cause it makes me smile wide (ha) All your little press fell Cause you shoot your worlds like a torpedo With the light that shines in front of You silly little fool of a pawn You ca...

[Chorus: x2] What did you want from me? You're knockin' on doors tryin' to wake up the beast. Head full of thorns, you wanna settle the score, you wanna level the board. You wanna level me down. I find it funny how your heart don't work, and that tattooed d...

[Verse 1 - Grieves:] I guess I'm sick of feeling like I oughta Pack my bags and go It's all I've ever known It's all that keeps me focused It's all I've ever needed Was someone to believe in me When the stars fell outta my skies it wasn't you And I wis...

I'll take a breath of that concrete, Step into the jungle with a gleam, And move like it's trynna kill a dream. Cause I don't' have a bone left in me That'll loan death pity when the grass I'm growin don't green. Ode to the screams, Bouncing off the glas...

[Verse 1: Grieves] And in come the strings Playing my patience like a note that I never had the guts to sing I've been living with your lies Cause my life don't feel quite right unless I'm swelling from the honeybee sting And look at what you bring me, gi...

[Grieves] Say something Nowadays I'm all ears Screaming out over the speakers Breaking eggs with no fear Made a name as a stranger that painted his pain on a mirror Stared straight into the eyes of it and faced it for years Like (ayyyyyyy!) I feel I cav...

I break it open like a fire's inside so you should step back And get a safe view from the other side of the paint glass This whole world's pokin' at me tryin' to get me jet black To open up my hands and accept it like it's the best pass You can keep what y...

I wish I could remember the day I lost it Flip through the pages I've written when I'm unconcious I black out and I don't really understand it But everythings relative everythings relative right now I feel my life is a physical writing block Repeating ove...

The rain came down like a blanket And insulated the street lights Turned the gutters to rivers And sailed away with my free time Nowadays I got alot more to juggle A monster to struggle Down and lock to the rubble Need to slow down Cause I don't know...

You're such a greedy bastard You're such a broken king that you Don't know when you've already won You wanna conquer everything You're such a greedy bitch You're such a hopeless queen that you Don't know when you've been overthrown You wanna fight for...

[Verse 1:] I take a breath and breathe it out Life has been a bitch holding onto me, I'm always freaking out I don't play well with others, I panic in a crowd And I'm quick to fall in love, that's why I'm always on the ground So pick it up Pop the umbrel...

She said the world paints a picture, that makes her wanna run Pull the stars out of the sky and load them into her gun Live wire, broken and it's taken it's toll You can't reach what has never been touched, it's too cold Cause the sun don't shine for her,...

I swear to god that sometimes I feel my life is going blah From the women I wake up to To the substance in my rhymes And I've abused the truth by telling myself everythings fine With all that negativity I'm ignoring, steadily climbed And undescribed But...

[Verse 1:] I drink the cloudy city rainwater, you can never save my soul. Painted glass on my soul, I don't break it for no one. Your blood runs like a river when your back's turned and hope don't float when it's chokin' on it's last word. Which one would you...

Born blond in the winter with an empty head The snow covered up the Camry, the whole house slept Drawing pictures in the bed Waking up and racing down the stairs, trying to catch my breath Was so simple; Superman, trick or treat, wet socks Bike rides in t...

|Chorus| Take that devil out your head. Lay your skeletons to rest. Bed of roses where you lay it down, definitely. Those words cross your headstone. I'll pray for the moment you awake. Mighty is the bitter blade. Crimson beaded waterfall lining your...

I ain’t no scholar, I don’t write no books I don’t spend my money on the last girl honey Cus she hates my guts. I paid my rent late, so my landlord's angry And all this shit keeps piling up and trying to hang me. I Give my love in on the run, on the run,...

[Verse 1:] I feel like I've been breathing out of an exhaust pipe On the job site, with a fist full of brittle sand Should have seen it coming A mile away from the little hill in which I'm making a stand on It makes a man of me (doesn't it?) And if it ne...

Molded out of brimstone, learn to take a lashing on the coals Hot metal pressing on the skin of my goals I've been walking the plank of it, blindfolded, and know what it's like when the knife's out of the holster Truth - that's the only reason I'm still ali...

It's been awhile since I spoke like a human Haven't seen you in over half of a decade and havent't talked since I moved In the home town harmony's telling me you've been bad Grieving over the fact that you're losing your baby's dad But it's not just that,...

Yeah, I pushed the boat out - I'm floating on faith Got a I-don't-give-a-shit look stuck on my face I guess that I've become a product of the castle gates Dug a moat around my heart and filled it up with hate I went and poured it on the rocks with my last...

Stick stained with the color of my blood Life has been a variance of luck And a bunch of long trips getting dragged behind a truck It's not the vision that I had when I was young But it's better than pretending and then biting down on my tongue when they a...

I'm not a person of my words anymore. I exist inside a dream that was started by a child that now lives Inside of me. I can't play anymore I'm falling off the edge and fighting every urge I've ever had to strike It down and leave it dead. I make music, pain...

I don't wanna talk about it, or get it off my back. I don't wanna dance around the subject, you and I both know better than that. I tried to make the best of it, but in the end it didn't really mean much. Leave me with a fiddle, sitting by the piano, br...
