By The Sea

Down the path that's twisted vaguely pass the crooked tree
Where the rocks they hug the water it's waiting there for me
The wooden boathouse too's and throws now never fallen town
When the wind she calls it answers she never hangs around
The ash it holds on to the surface and drifts out to the sea
The setting sun is inexpensive but it's never free
The winding road is less inspiring when it's winding back
I write an ode to tinted glasses I want that memory back
By the sea
By the sea
By the sea
By the sea
The water's coldest in the morning take the sweat right off your back
Back at home the walls are moulding sky fades green to black
The oceans mirror tames the sky lion
Brings heaven down to land
An honest deceit though it may be it's more than I can stand
The tide it ebbs in ever slowly takes back it's native land
Creatures head in to the shade see I bury mine in sand
Distant moonlight prompts our leaving but we overstay our time
The boathouse moans beneath the twilight
but everything's just fine
By the sea
By the sea
By the sea
By the sea

No Time Like The Present

Exposed wide open shit got real
I couldn't hold my own no more
So I locked up and threw away the key
Time moves on and slows for none
As I pull back and drag my heels
They tell me there's no time like the present
You'll burn out trying to catch me
Always tomorrow never ready
You're not the first to try believe me
You'll find me at the source of the wreckage
I've tried my best to let it go
But it creeps around me when I'm low
I was too in love to fall on my feet
I was told that time could mend
Will you hurry up and make this end
Don't you tell me there's no time like the present
You'll burn out trying to catch me
Always tomorrow never ready
You're not the first to try believe me
You'll find me at the source of the wreckage
I've trying to break this cycle
for years now but I'm struggling
I've been broken down brought to my knees
But I'm on the mend it's just taking some time
Good luck trying to catch me
Always tomorrow never ready
You're not the first to try believe me
You'll find me at the source of the wreckage
You'll burn out trying to catch me
Always tomorrow never ready
You're not the first to try believe me
You'll find me at the source of the wreckage

Fade Away

It's been a while since someone told you no
Somewhere along the land they should've left a note
Well I've heard the phrase 'Judge not less be judged yourselves'

No Man's Land
04:37
|
|

No man's land I've been building on the sand I am
Open veins and sewer mains
Drifting out on flooded plains
But still it rains
Oh oh oh, Crimson sky if you hear me sign I'm sorry
I didn't know what a whore
This life would leave me wanting more
Time to burn those clothes I wore
Karma don't waste your time on me
I'm not worth your misery
Karma don't waste your time on me
I'll only let you down you see
Oh oh oh, Fly on the wall I didn't see you there at all I was just
Blowing steam I didn't mean to say the things I mean
My mind is coarse
And my voice is growing hoarse
oh baby, Please don't go I was gonna let you know i was just
Coasting by just you and I
I didn't mean to make your cry
And still I'm asking why
Karma don't waste your time on me
I'm not worth your misery
Karma don't waste your time on me
I'll only let you down you see
They say that when you know then you'll know for sure
I say if don't you probably won't
Ain't no use in staying broke at all
And that's all she wrote
My mamma, Always told me why you looking so glum
If what goes around it comes around
Then by you would be done and I thought oh
I hope that she was right.
Karma don't waste your time on me
I'm not worth your misery
Karma don't waste your time on me
I'll only let you down you see

Snow
04:28

There's snow on the road, keeping you from me
It's falling on the ground, reflects the sun thats creeping through the trees
I'd be there for you baby if I could, we go walking in the woods
As the dying light it bounces off the leaves
The stars underneath the blue, there's glitter in the air
My skin it shows the wear, as my thoughts they cross the hills to you
I'll brave the storm for you
I'll be there when you're feeling blue
I'll make the path run true
'Cause I'd do anything for you
There's tears on the paper, seen through bloodshot eyes
I can hardly hear your cries, as my heart it skips another beat
There's gold underneath your fingers, your modest midas touch
As my foot falls on the clutch, and the engine stall reminds me how we died
There's mist following the water, there's grass between the weeds
These warnings that we heed, as we plant our seeds on fallow ground
I'll brave the storm for you
I'll be there when you're feeling blue
I'll make the path run true
'Cause I'd do anything for you
