Go down on your hands and knees tonight
Our number's coming up and we've got no time
I know what they're gonna say / before they let the words escape
So get yourself together and let's get right
Sit low
Start to cry
Be set apart / and lifted high
Lifted high
Spend my quiet hours in the light
Of the memories of things I left behind
Even when we still were safe / We all had numbers on our days
And I've lost count of the ones I set on fire
So sit low
Start to cry
Be set apart / and lifted high
Lifted high

Fever Dream

I was there
When they carried you away
And I stared
Didn't have much to say
I was tired
I slept in
Pulled the sheets over my face
I went down
To a better hiding place
Built a fire
When I woke
Swore I felt you on my skin
Closed my eyes
Probably won't see you again
After tonight
You were gone
To a place I could not find
Though I tried
Thought you'd never leave behind
The city life

Expensive Mistakes
04:48
|

You were walking the sidewalk / singing like an angel
Burning houses and cigarettes / straight from a fable
Cardboard flowers in your left hand / broken heart in the other
Talking to an old friend / Sitting there on your shoulder
I passed you downtown
You were standing on the corner
You didn't know that I saw you
Hope nobody else saw you
When the summer comes this year / we will open our eyes
We will walk down the straight path / until the day that we die
That might be tomorrow / we just don't know a damn thing
We will carry our own bones / we don't care what they all say
I want you to know
I did everything I could
Sometimes everything is not enough
Most times nothing is ever enough
There's a light in the window / of the house down the block
Across from the vacant lot / where we used to park
Where we talked about old dreams / and the ones we still had
Ones we knew we'd give up on / when a little more time passed
There is no way out
Nowhere to go but down, down, down
I won't ever feel your touch again
Don't have the money to work things out
That night on the corner / when I passed you downtown
You didn't know that I saw you / but I guess you know now

Song for Gravity

I want to live through a camera lens
Filter the light so only the good comes in
Whole years of film on the cutting room floor
Washing away my sins
I want to live in the present tense
I've got nothing to say in my defense
My demons don't bother me anymore
I'm not gonna break again
I will see / that you follow me
Every step of my way down
Nothing left when you reach the ground
I don't want to sound so arrogant
I don't want to be forgiven
I will be free from what you've done to me
I don't ever plan to repent
I will see / that you follow me
Every step of my way down
Side by side in the ground
I will make sure / that you never find what you're looking for
When you close your eyes tonight
Be set apart and lifted high

Judgement Day Stomp

One day I'm gonna die
They're gonna celebrate
I'll cross alone / in buzzing drones
It's gonna be a good day
That day someone will cry
For something somewhere in this world
No tears for me / when I'm set free
It's gonna be a good day
When you leave your house tonight
Spend your time in all the worst places
Get down on your knees and cry
In the final hours of the golden ages
One day you're gonna die
It's probably gonna rain
Clouds will form / your blood will run
It's gonna be a good day
That day I'm gonna fly
They're gonna cut these chains
And I'll rise above you / like I never loved you
I'm gonna fly that day
When you leave your house tonight
Spend your time in all the worst places
Get down on your knees and cry
In the final hours of the golden ages
The empire is falling down / the rapture makes an awful sound
We spent a lifetime getting out / and no one's gonna save us now

The Year Of
03:47
|

It's the year of the thunderstorm
In the Valley of Death
Dark clouds over everything / and I'm running out of breath
Wishing I was somewhere warm
I've given up even trying
Maybe the clouds will take me away
It's the year of death by lightning
It's the year of the dragon
Ever-circling overhead
His claws and teeth glistening with blood
Unholy crimson red
Drinking white wine on the Sabbath
The end of my empire
Maybe the dragon will carry me away
It's the year of the house fire
It's the year of the broken heart
Three years I'll never forget
Three whole years since I last saw you
Three years since the last sunset
Some nights you're in my dreams
I don't know where to start
It's the year of the broken heart
It's always the year of the broken heart

Everything is right on track
She's not ever coming back
So if I take the medicine today
I'll go out with a fire in my veins
I don't want to wait too long
I can feel the thunder in my bones
So in the days when I am gone
Don't bring your pretenders to my throne
