Empty Threats

Cold hands
I'm drinking alone
Choke it down
No ones around
For what it's worth
I swear I'm trying my best
With no dime to fix it
Warmth spreads
I'm flailing my limbs
Float around
I can't be held down
For what it's worth
I stopped trying my best
Sick tits I fixed it
It boils down to all the things you'll never do
They're just empty threats
You're better off out in the street than here with me
I'll just break you down
I'm always thinking of the things I'd rather be
You call a waste of time
You've got suspicions of another lover now
Couldn't be further from the truth

You're wastin' all of your time
Searching for a light you're never gonna find
If you're tempted by an ordinary slight
I'll take you on and give a piece of my mind
Is it worth the extra effort now
For a life among the weeds?
I can see it in your eyes you bought the lies
When the days get so blurred between the lines
You used to be so cleverly disguised
Now you're broken just to prove that I was right
I can't think of any other way
I can make you understand
Was it worth the extra effort now?
I can't think of any other way
If it's not enough for you I'll cut my hands
For the life we live is ours until we're dead

Adult Decisions

Careful where you stand
You're falling apart
Slippin' through the floor boards
It was never enough
We had our share of mistakes
I still stayed
This one takes the cake
You waited on the right man
He already passed you by
Can't you understand
Once you've changed a man
There's no goin' back from that
That's life
Sleep with one eye open
If you sleep at all
No one saw this coming
You're a deranged soul
Caught up in the bullshit
You tell yourself
Just to get some rest
You waited on the right man
He already passed you by
Can't you understand
Once you've changed a man
There's no goin' back from that
That's life
For life

Thought I'd be the last one
Diggin' up the floor
Hiding all the answers
Nailing back the boards
Something doesn't feel right
We've been here before
Try and keep my shit tight
You see through it more
Did I get the last word?
What's it even worth?
Try and ease your breathing
Do the next one right
Tryin' things the hard way
Settlin' the score
Tearing all the walls down
Watch everything burn

You had a lot to say
And even more to drink
You never listen at all
You could be anywhere but you choose
To go everywhere with me
Lost in the wild
No way to start a fire
Destined to die out here alone
Where nobody will ever find our bones
You never take it from my side
I never saw it in that light
We never listen at all
I could be anywhere but I choose
To stay right here next to you
Lost in the wild
Defining who we are
Time isn't everything we need
It's the money that'll keep our heads afloat
And tied to the shore
No lime for the light
Tried to save it for somebody but you
Ended up just pushed off to the side
Thanks to the war
She's mine for the night
If you like it but don't love it baby
Just know we can always take our time

In This Town

You grow old in this town
Faster than anywhere else
It takes time in this life
To get anything right
If you live through this night
I'd say you'll make it alright
Put your love on the right side of this fight
I'd be lying anywhere else

Tracks in the Snow
03:05

|

Breathe through your nose
Hold it deep
Keep your eyes closed
Time's moving slow
We're still racin' for the sun
Nowhere left to go
Follow your tracks
Left here in the snow
I'm sure you'll find
What you're after in this life
Take it as it comes
You just never know
How far you've come
Or how much farther you still to go
Turn around and run
Waste all your potential
Or you can stay and fight
To find the truth
You might have to lie
Don't waste tonight
If we're only built to die
Take it as it comes
You'll just never know
That it's not easy
To watch you walk away
It's not easy
To give you reasons you should stay

Sleepskies

Digging up the past
Saved the best for last
At least I thought I did
Another night of sin
Crazy how the shine's
Always wearin' off
Runnin' through a maze
It's a game of chase
What's the chances of
Comin' out on top
When the odds are stacked
The way they seem
I'm inclined to take that risk
Digging up the past
Nothing ever lasts
And the faces change
I still try to believe
But this romance seems to
Have a half-life I don't understand
Shine on for at least your own sake

Way Out
06:30
|
|

Lets rage tonight
Go lookin' for fights
There's gotta be somewhere
We've yet to find
Throw wood on the fire
Slip out in the night
There's gotta be somethin'
We've never tried
There's a way out
It's a balance act
So what if you're bleedin'
You found what you needed
Turns out there's something
That crossed the line
Stop on a dime
You can't rewind
There's always someone
Feeding you lies
There's a way out
It's a balance act
Oh...no, you never signaled with fire
I'm just waitin' for the smoke
