Sour Taste 02:06
I've got a mind full of distractions Sometimes they really occupy me I'll break your heart to see the reaction Sorry hun. No more warm feelings Can you tell if everything's alright? Can you keep yourself warm at night? There's no use in putting up a fight Before you know it I'll be out of sight So, what if I would say I never liked it anyway Would it be more than you could take And would you be ok If I left it all today Or would it leave a sour taste Tongue-in-cheek, a little blaspheming A couple tears just to start the relief You never thought I'd discover your disease Well, maybe this time the blame you can keep Don't pray for me You'd waste the breath you breathe I've got no need to be clean If it were just up to me I'd set all of you free No more pain or fatigue

Broken 02:22
Is it too late now Yeah I bet it is You traded in my used up heart For a new one like his And I can't let it go God, I wish you'd stay No amount of whiskey Could dull this fucking pain It happened again It happened again I let my broken heart get the better of me again Beaten up and broken down I feel so sad and soulless Mending wounds by drinking booze Repulsed by the thought of romance And I'm plagued by dreams Lost all hope of sleep My heart, it bleeds for any kind of sanity It won't happen again It won't happen again I'll never let this fucked up heart get me down again This too shall pass, shall pass me by This too shall pass, shall pass me right fucking by
3.
Move On 04:30
Live like you won't be lasting long, she whispered Then died right in my arms Breaking promises ain't no fun But you gotta do what you gotta do to move on So, move on, my love Take your time, don't make your moves too fast Visualize your goals then weigh them first Or you'll wind up in the past Desperate challenges may lie ahead Don't let them pall you into thoughts of stress Arrested in your bed Think of me When you can't sleep I'll be hiding in your dreams And though I'm gone Keep pressing on Keep your head up, son, and walk tall 'Cause I know you can make it if you try You've got your fathers strength and your mothers eyes Don't let them get you down In the end it's only love that keeps us around Live like you got lots of change to spare Generosity's not hard to see, but makes sure you're well aware That there are thieves in the night, and they'll surely rob you blind So, keep your feet planted in the ground and your eyes stuck on that prize Think of me When you can't breathe Expand your chest, inhale deep And summer's gone, but it won't be too long Every sunset has it's dawn I wanted to keep you around
4.
Tasting copper, I'm spitting red Feeling pavement against my head Sirens wail, fucking fleeting screams Am I alive or just half deceased? There's no telling what went wrong I'll just sit around singing this soured, sappy love song You left me there just bleeding out I tried to scream, but words numbed my mouth Nailed to a cross that I never wished to bear I'd ask for help, but you just don't care
5.
If It Rains 03:30
I went to bed while covering my head It's hard to breathe through a thick blanket I awoke with a choking cough I fell out of bed, dusted myself off These days, they never end All of us are dying with our lungs full of sand Every night I kneel and I pray Send some summer showers, wash this dirt away 'Cause if it rains We're going to eat better tomorrow Batten down the hatches, there's a big storm coming in But if it rains We're going to have more than dirt to swallow If it rains, if it rains I couldn't go to work, my land's been covered in earth And grasshoppers have swallowed the sky There's no crops anyhow, no use working the plow Momma sits in the corner, all she can do is cry And I know somehow if we stay put right now We'll see it to the end and start to own this town So we won't run, we're not scared, won't go anywhere Make the best of this mess until we breathe fresh air Dag nabit, I've been living here all my life Grittin' teeth, just trying to survive The ups and downs of this shantytown Oh God, it's gotten me feeling so low Still I can't let go
6.
I never really had a bad dream Until the time you weren't there for me It seems like all my plans have fallen through again I never really felt so complete Breaking bones in hopes to compete With the thoughts and fists and pills to help me mend Don't look down, we're falling underneath the ground It feels so cold So take my hand, I'll take you home I never really had a dull time Conversations filled with land mines I know that it seems strange, but I sort of enjoyed myself I always look for truth in your eyes Sometimes it just seems like all lies I understand that you care, but right now there's no help Don't look down, we're falling underneath the ground It feels so cold So take my hand, I'll take you home Don't know how, but we've got nowhere else to go So take my hand, I'll take you home Just like last time, I fell asleep with closed eyes Awoke with an aching head and wondering why you left, again It's no wonder I've this sinking feeling that I'll always be alone

Hourglass 03:49
I wrote your name deep down inside of an old hourglass Kicked it over so I finally could forget at last Grains of sand fell over all of my old memories Covering pain, leaving my slate wiped clean I'll take this keepsake, bury it down in a covered hole Burn the map, destroy my tracks so no one will ever know How much I've given, taken, and lost all in the name of love Lay it to rest, hope for the best, it's not worth dreaming of And I can't say that I miss all those crazy fights at night When you've had to much to drink to speak Yet you found something wrong with the way that I said Hey, baby. Let's get to bed. It's time to get some rest. Or at least get you fed 'Cause you're acting very strange A pretty deranged little queen, caught up in her own fantasy Dawned from the ashes of the passionate man I was I'll search this soul and mend the holes, 'cause I'm still dreaming of Walking tall, standing strong. Embraced this fate, now it's time to move on I've had my time to dwell, spent many sleepless nights in hell Come to grips with a quick fix, but sadly, whiskey no longer helps me tick I'm over, I'm over, I'm over you Scream it 'til my lungs collapse and face turns blue It's over, It's over, I never knew What a burden this shit was, God damn it, I'm fucking over you I never wanted any more than happiness Never wanted any more than just us It never occurred to be, this fragile fucking heart could bleed Never wanted anything... Just you and me I'm not going to waste anymore of my time Not going to let the past control my mind Not going to worry about the silly things that you do Right now, baby, I'm finally over you

Escapè 04:46
At first we lost power, the city fell fast Darkened, cold windows barricaded with slats As we wait, wait to be saved Rigged fingers cast blame towards the damned and betrayed Crawling through streets rising up from fresh graves On their way, smells of decay We've seen who's gone first Now let's see who will last in this state Surrendered my will, completely lost faith Gathered in a forest on the outskirts of town Sit stranded survivors, all well aware now It's too late to turn back, they must follow their path Keep grinding their axe or break down No chances are taken to secure the groups fate past sundown It's not safe, you gotta live and fight every day There's no escape from this place I'm dying. I can fucking feel it My blood's run dry, my bones have weakened If you see my skin start to recede Pull the trigger, there's no time for grieving It's not safe, you gotta live and fight every day There's no escape from this place I can't believe anything that you say There's no escape from this place

Waiting 03:26
If anything goes wrong tonight, well I I wouldn't be surprised It's not obscene to compromise Just don't, don't give up the fight You've got such brittle bones and you spend your nights there all alone Just looking up to the sky Well, I'd like to be the one that comes and sets you free From all your pain and misery Take a step, make a move Hold your breath, this will all be over soon Could never tell you why, she's just here waiting For love to take her by the hand and give her heart a second chance But you can't keep waiting, stand around anticipating You'll never learn how to dance It's not the first time, it sure as hell won't be the last I just hope she doesn't laugh The tangled webs we weave, they cut short the straws of sanity I guess one chance was too much to ask
10.
Bloodstains 01:57
Now they can make things worse for me Sometimes I'd rather die They can tell me lots of things But I don't see eye to eye Well, I know they know the way I think I know they always will But someday I'm gonna change my mind Sometimes I'd rather kill Bloodstains, speed kills Fast cars, cheap thrills Rich girls, fine wine I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I've lost my mind Well, things seem so much different now The [Incomprehensible] died away I haven't got a steady job And I've still got no place to stay It's a futuristic modern world But things aren't what they seem Someday you'd better wake up From this stupid fantasy No more bloodstains, speed kills Fast cars, cheap thrills Rich girls, fine wine I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I've lost my mind Come on Bloodstains, speed kills Fast cars, cheap thrills Rich girls, fine wine I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I've lost my mind
