Baby Blue 04:06
little blue bird across the sea sickly but living nestled in the concrete why is it that you're so far away? fickle but sweet and always just out of reach some nights i'd swear i never left as if tomorrow I'd see you again instead of this sinking feeling (that) nothing gold can stay the luster will fade when everything ends will i see you again? unlikely it seems because you'll float and i'll sink little blue bird i'm wasting my time with a handful of grief and whiskey to not feel lonely i see you in dreams talking and laughing well now you're dancing six feet over me some nights i'd swear i never left as if tomorrow I'd see you again instead of this sinking feeling (that) nothing gold can stay the luster will fade when everything ends will i see you again? unlikely it seems because you'll float and i'll sink

Darling I've been feeling like I need to be twisted in circles just to find peace hey sorrow won't you sing me to sleep you're still here but I miss you dearly With every mistake you made every love that never happened it wasn't supposed to be this way prayers to time unanswered babe "please don't go" I wish you'd say to me but you're far too kind and understanding no longer in spring and not quite the summer still chasing a dream and you're body is breaking you've given up so much for this all you've ever wanted for what you'll never have again With every mistake you made every love that never happened it wasn't supposed to be this way prayers to time unanswered babe "please don't go" I wish you'd say to me but you're far too kind and understanding

Nothing Ever 02:47
I woke up to realize I had lost everything that's mine but maybe that's alright a chance to start again in this terrible place i've been maybe it's time to go I don't know Nothing ever goes right Nothing ever goes right you get a little hope just to be let down a little bit of happiness just to go back to nothing ever goes right but I guess that's fine I should celebrate the love I had once and not lament, "baby boy it'll never happen again" because in the end we're all alone it doesn't really matter nothing really matters at all Nothing ever goes right Nothing ever goes right you get a little hope just to be let down a little bit of happiness just to go back to nothing ever goes right but I guess that's fine

we drove to your friend's place the one on the cusp of change hung across the wall were pictures of better days the scattered trinkets of growing up simultaneously sweet and anxiety inducing "there's got to be more than this" you chant with bated breath you're asking questions that you know the answers to Do you really want to keep waking up in the same old bed that you've been sleeping in since you were a kid? There's nothing like seeing your fears embodied in a friend "there's got to be more than this" you chant with bated breath you're asking questions that you know the answers to

Wolf & Sheep 03:48
a tired charade of endless pandering but who am I to say anything self righteous medicine unprescribed a dose too strong but you don't care you don't care the words you write and speak are careless as they are cheap you have them fooled but all I see is a man preying on the tired and weak are you so arrogant that you don't see what you're doing blinded by your own light or is it calculated? nefarious through and through playing the savior its sardonic yet perfect the words you write and speak are careless as they are cheap you have them fooled but all I see is a man preying on the tired and weak

Hospital 03:54
"It's time to go visiting hours are over" the hall's echo is more comforting than the bustling of hours before and I stick around to admire the hospital glow it gives me time to think of how the wicked run amok and dance on graves salting the earth singing "rejoice" but that's just how it goes a truth we've come to know but you keep the light on for me to come back home Your hair has grown so long when the doctor breaks the news that you'll have to cut it again soon frustrating doesn't begin to explain and all we can do is hope for the best normalcy for undeserving men the wicked run amok and dance on graves salting the earth singing "rejoice" but that's just how it goes a truth we've come to know but you keep the light on for me to come back home Am I a dancer? it's too bad I'll never know but maybe there's beauty in preserving sanity so please keep the light on for me to come back home
