Such Gold

You’re just another billboard screaming at me as I pass by And what was the message you intended to leave behind? I don’t know and I don’t care You want to talk about being fair? Then please just have a seat over there And when I come back you can tell me...

I took a trip up north to see what I could find The wolves are out Skies change from day to night much more quickly than real life I couldn't help but run it from the top Retrace my footsteps anything to get me where I was The rest is axed away, can’...

Oh what a sight to be seen, I left my wits back up in a tree, Where I used to climb before I was a teen. Next to an old woman’s cat and a young man’s dreams And we’re all waiting for them to fall into our hands. Will we learn to climb or keep standing at t...

I’ve got a funny feeling That the difference you so enjoy seeing Between yourself and the world outside Is about as complex as the garment it's marked by. So let's skip the introductions. I've seen them all and I'm quite tired. Nice to see you've found...

This will forever be it. The sun on the tip of your tongue. But something is different - there’s a whole new look to this. We got it and we’re taking it with us, and I smile. This will forever be it. The sun on the tip of your tongue. Just a difference i...

My ears, they haven't stopped ringing for weeks So I drove around the park and I found the lot empty But four cars pull in as I turn the key And I've got things on me I don't want them to see Don't park next to me please Don't park next to me Cause...

Vicious illuminating combination The one that made you feel alone Sometimes we've all fallen victim to times like these And all of this tension is expensive; wordlessness a disease The trough is swept and that's the weight of this plow baby I can't p...

This just started I'm loathing it This feeling has left me dry, cracked, peeling like arctic winds Face your inner self until it ends So violate me all this waiting So fucking high on paint we can not paint things Chose to breathe in the smog and f...

Are we human or are we mall? My sign is glowing, my buns are cold Whose hat hath the least fury tonight? Who gives the least shits and still manages to get by? I say “fuck you Janice” because it’s all I can do and there ain't room for two I’ll try to...

And I wont say a word as I turn Every light down in this town You won't here me coming Not the sound of my feet running To take you down These New York winters Are killing me And I won't say a word as I burn Every building in this town To the ground...

Despite my hopes to live a long life I'm climbing up the gates It feels so safe already in the grave No subtle hints of screaming at myself again Was it intentional to find yourself a vegetable frying in the mix? You know I'd tell you the truth but I d...

Make ends meet and we’ll see the bottom of your feet again Isn’t it nice to be able to tune right out? Just close the screen The tiny things that separate us The locks on our doors The dissonance instilled in refrains you’ve never heard correct before In...

The phone doesn't ring like it did One too many days spent off the grid, if that's even possible When the hours get late I'll trade in my new life for a brand new escape I know it sounds so typical Listen closely as I walk through the halls, I know wha...

You wait for another opportunity to speak. He looks for another way to bank. Same affirmation that you get. Same way you treat everyone you used to know (like shit). High achieving like they all say that you are, But you and I both know who sets that bar...

Oncoming traffic drowned the sound out From my apologetic tone and left you staring at me From across the road I thought we both had crossed Another case of absent-mindedness on someone’s part Another failed connection I’ve never felt the burn of so many...

Did you know the half listening world is sitting on its throne Kings and queens judging you from home And you’re the minstrel in their court With looks like that who needs any support Those lights that shined on you just masked the fucking truth So play...

What a lovely day in the town of Morrison Bag full of some poison I slept right through miles of hot pursuit, woke up sweating an ocean Asking what we did wrong, this could be the end Well it's been a good run boys These fine lines we walk, if you st...

Hear that coughing it sounds like a fire This scarecrow’s straw has just expired If the birds start to pick promise me you will pay them no mind Nausea and other side effects What is that right on the other side of the glass? Is this fear just what y...

I'm the casino that pays nothing when you win Please put your money in I have no sort of future plan I never saw myself too far in it Thinking too much never got me anywhere, it never paid for my cab fare, not once and just because I've got these slo...

You're up on the scoreboard But the audience is sick of this collateral damage And this game's been going on for far too long And the audience is sick of the same old song We don't need a coach to recognize what matters most And we don't need a book of p...

I've gone and lost my sense of self thrown out the door And back down on the floor again I'm just glad that I've got my friends to stand At my back when I need them (When I need them) I've got to quit beating myself up (over this) Over things out of my...

The midnight drunks go walking. Happy, looking sad and talking destiny. This is what the city pays for, I can see. The neon lights resist the fight Against separation anxiety. This is what the city pays for, I can see. The dream they sell. I'm hooked;...

Add it up and that’s everything you are And subtract the laughs and the meaningless parts So scared when I think of that afternoon air ‘Cause reminiscing like this is so rare I wonder just how many times I lied I’d like to know when I die So add it all...

I’m still looking for my peace of mind and nothing more. My bad habits are building up and getting harder and harder to ignore, Except when you’re around but I’ve been spending so little time in this town. I just hope that you see I just can’t be who everyo...

Am I the only one awake? Am I the only one? You’re only what you tell yourself you are And lying to yourself can only get you so far You’re only what you tell yourself you are Well hey there kid, try not to be so hard on yourself Did you know you can mak...

They always said you’d never get anywhere (running your trap), So I ran twice as hard, word for word and yard for yard. They always said you’d never get anywhere (this is your trap). It’s a circular track and as far as I go it’s always bringing me back. So...

Well I'm looking for some kind of anchor Someone to stand taller than me To pull me up through these falling leaves Well I've already got so much anger Swelling up inside of me I wasn't looking to closely for danger And I didn't wind up where I wanted t...

I’ll stay where I want, there's no reason to leave When outside the window it gets so foggy The game is about finding your space and holding it down Don't let anyone see you cross the street Find a space, hold it down Find a space and when you leave...

Well hey, how've you been? It's been so long since you were a friend All of these people inside a room, pretend to care less about themselves than they do you. When nothing else could be farther from the truth. This is the world that you live in. Well...

In between the times when things seem real (and things are real), You wake up so late. And I've been up all morning doing my best to keep still. The time it doesn't take. (All too familiar.) Don't you remember the indifference? (I always thought) we were...

I am the issues that you cling to Those very clouds floating by I am the way you misunderstand I am the fall guy No lens can see my face the way I see it now And I have lived to tell the story about how I Refused to survive Seeing the sights I understa...

I wish that I could say the pain wasn't enough to keep me awake Some nights it was just too much for me to take This road is a dead end when all I want to do is just pretend That I'm sitting next to my friend Back then, I couldn't tell you when contemplat...

Do I care at all? I know how things break I won't be surprised when it happens to me, oh yeah From twisting in ways one should never twist You steamrolled me over, you'll know what I mean when it gives When it gives When will it give? It will give w...

I know it's late But I've been up for days We haven't spoken in far too long Cause I have nothing left to say And I'm a mess with all this constant stress (You always know what's best) But that won't stop the restlessness All I have left are Traces of...

Familiar childhood dreams They ended when I found out about new advancements We can take advantage of to stay productive While we keep the horror of what we are away Call it fate or whatever word makes you feel best about yourself But when it comes down t...
