slow down

lyrics:
throw the cards off of the table
you dont need to take them just cos theyre dealt
laid waste to the games you used to play
and now youre standing where you once felt
the ground cave in beneath your feet
until you couldnt feel the leaves on your fingertips
cos you were just trying to make a mess of it
so just
slow down, slow down
you been running too fast and you need to catch a breath now
woke up out of touch and now im screaming out
dropped down, you dont got a lot to prove now
so call it what you want cos its nothing i need
im breaking down in my defeat
hold on
dip your feet into the water, is it colder
youre just as vulnerable, youve only gotten bolder
i know you wanna set the world on fire and watch it burn
but wait a second, just hold on
hold fast
waiting for a moment to relapse
into your habits again
an unwitting end
outlined, tongue tied now its dead set
chest gripped cos i dont think im ready yet
to face off with the man in the mirror
and waste a new year
cos every single days been a smear since like month three
plagued by these visions, you dont want me
to waste your time
so display your crimes
cos i could never just
slow down, slow down
ive been running too fast and i cant catch a breath now
woke up out of touch and now im screaming out
dropped down, i got nothing left to prove now
so call it what you want cos its nothing i need
im falling out of line and i got no room to breathe
im breaking out in my defeat
but maybe its worth the distance
cos were closer than were far
and the light will outrun the dark

weight of a word

lyrics:
it looks like im running out of time
so ill set fire to my bridges and close my eyes
and bury my head in the sand
i dont care what it meant
cos its come to a head and i dont like
what im seeing unfold in front of my eyes
you let the weight of a word off of your chest
and you shook it off without a second thought
cos you couldnt care less for another mans life
and i waited there
for some semblance of a warning
that it wasnt worth the cost
i know weve gained a lot since then
but was it worth all that we lost
looking back right through the hourglass
as the sand keeps falling down
were growing past our youth this time
without a clue for where we can go now
it looks like im running out of time
i cant control when i slip back out of line
and the cards on the table dont hold any more tricks
i guess its back to the drawing board and its back to that night
but i keep thinking im over this sleight of mind
cant help but feel im above it and im fed up of trying
to find some sense of a normal life under this roof
cos it fell right through while i waited there
for some semblance of a warning
that it wasnt worth the cost
i know weve gained a lot since then
but was it worth all that we lost
looking back right through the hourglass
as the sand keeps falling down
were growing past our youth this time
without a clue for where we can go now

silhouettes (interlude)

lyrics:
intertwined, i once thought
painted rain through the windowpane
i hear them sing
connecting what i was taught
silhouettes, they haunt again
through gust of wind in the eves of spring
intertwined where we stood
painted rain outside the station
//no more time for contemplations
collect my thoughts, ive packed my bags
maybe ill see you if im back upstate
//but this was all worth the wait

rearview (w/ lunamatic)
03:05
|

|
lyrics:
ive burned out like a wildfire
with no space in between
foreshadowing and hindsight
with no place left unseen
been so caught up in semantics
that ive lost sight of the frame
always stuck in a typecast
cos theres no rest in the cage
running backwards to the place i built in my head
rewrite the pages, set alight the words that they said
because its just a game of chance in retrospect
and this was all just a waste of a night
with the hills that wed run on in the rearview
press your hand against the glass and just gaze through at the valley of death
cos weve moved past all the highlights
so ill wipe the paint away from the canvas
throw the cards off of the table and vanish
to anywhere but here

union square

lyrics:
the hills weve climbed have grown so old
and all the lonely people in this town have grown so cold
without a trace ill disappear to the west coast
a new face, a new name, a new day, now theyve nothing left to boast
eyes locked on the windowpane
and this picture dont fit the frame
vision blurred by the tears and rain
eyes locked on the windowpane
and this picture dont fit the frame
losing touch with the town that held my name
so rest your head just as before
cos you dont gotta run no more
youre safe here
and you know youre never lonely
cos were just a call away
youre safe here
the monster staring at you
isnt strong enough to catch you
so just breathe
you can count the tracks behind us
you can pay it all no mind
but please just breathe
come again, come again, what did you say this time
it would save us time if you let it all out
let go of your self-doubt
let your feet off the ground
come again, come again, could you spare another night
could you spare another night here in nyc
slow burn of a candlelight
play it through from the other side
the moon wont chase us through the night sky
four or five nights riding highs and i might lie
and say its nothing that i want and its nothing i need
im falling out of line and i got no room to breathe
im breaking out of my defeat
