The Things We Keep

Welcome to the end
Don't go back to the beginning
You'll find yourself right here once more
Stop playing pretend
Look yourself through your eyes
Find hope in what's outside your doors
I'll wait for your call
I'll wait for your call
I'll wait for you
The leaves stay the same
They fall off for the winter
And find themselves home in the spring
But the roots they decay
Breathing life to the air
Until their life's taken away
I'll wait for your call
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for your call
Waste away like fallen leaves
Sleeping on dirt
Sheltered by the things we keep
Locked inside for none to see
Left to rot in your dreams when you fall asleep
Left to rot in your dreams when you fall asleep
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

Iambic Pentameter

I'll cut my tongue out
I'll wait till sundown
So I can speak for one more day
If you can stand it
I'll speak in iambic pentameter
Writing down old phrases
Never thought I'd say them
Bouncing between my walls they make my ears ring
I'll probably never make it
I should quit while I'm behind
Destroy what made me say those awful things
Downing medications
Placebic in their creation
I ask myself this question "Am I having fun?"
Time after time I have trusted
Machines that continue to rust it's pathetic
But at least I admit it
Words are not action no more distractions I'll
Cut my tongue out
I'll wait till sundown
So I can speak for one more day
If you can stand it
I'll speak in iambic pentameter

Flat

Standing high above the tree line
Funny how it makes us feel so small
When nothing's changed at all
You've never been the type to be alright
Feeling like your back's up against a wall
Better reach out before you fall
Sleeping on a bench outside a hospital
Wondering how the weight of the world feels
Pressing down on your lungs
Cause you said "If the pain is too great I can take that
All away in a day or even a few minutes flat"
Circled round your head like a halo
Funny how I always come back around
Your silence is a deadly sound
The souls in my shoes have been worn out
The hole in my head is draining fast
I'm alright you don't have to ask
Sleeping on a bench outside a hospital
Wondering how the weight of the world feels
Pressing down on your lungs
Cause you said "If the pain is too great I can take that
All away in a day or even a seconds flat"
I could throw my life away can you imagine that?

Does It Snow In Ohio?

July rolls in and I'm scared to death
Of losing track of family if I don't head for the west
Pack my bags and wish me best
New England snow can't be replicated
Can I call this home
Without a sense of jaded truth?
I think I'll be going soon
And this house is made of glass
I can see it start to crack
Leave a note as I'm leaving home
Said "I'm sorry but I have to go"
Take me to the west
Where we can be alone
Don't show me the roads
I'll follow anywhere you
Take me to the west
Where we can be alone
Don't show me the roads
I'll follow anywhere you go

Back to the start again
I'll be sleeping in
Till I shut my eyes
For the final time
I hope you understand
You've got my world in your hands
I'll never go outside
Till I reconstruct my mind
Oh the days we spend
Inside our heads
Listen to the echo
Here it comes again
We'll leave this city and we'll go for gold
This can come to an end
If you ask for it
You won't have to pretend
Anymore
Go back home if you're too scared to try
Always knew you weren't cut out for this
Now we see you're just a stupid kid
Never stop
(My eyes are getting tired)
Till you can't
(Someone else should be the driver)
Carry on
(I guess we'll have to die)
Before we quit
Cause together we can rule this...
Never stop
(My eyes are getting tired)
Till you can't
(Someone else should be the driver)
Carry on
(I guess we'll have to die)
Before we quit
Cause together we can rule this shit
What once was kept inside my head is on the page
I have lost myself
I won't ask for help
This is all on me
We'll leave this city and we'll go for gold
This can come to an end
If you ask for it
You won't have to pretend
Anymore
I'll take my chance I'm not scared to die
If I lose well at least I tried
Better than watching as the world passed before my eyes
