i never told a lie i didn't wish was true she loves me like she's clinging to her life the future's a phone call from the grandchildren's room she loves being a mother, and she's an excellent wife but the silence finds truth between every word i threw my phone in the road in the busiest lane cause it calls you by habit when i got nothin' to say and it won't let me pick up if it isn't your name and even if it did, what would i talk about anyway? cause my secrets are told by the silence i keep the whole world's on mute; only your words repeat i won't ever want you back it takes two and i won't dance like you were taking out the trash turning now into the past my brain knows the pain i'm about to endure so i'm stumbling through the day like i don't know my left from the ground it's like time is a surgeon and i'm under the knife and i'm not allowed to think til you're removed and i'm found but those phantom pains ache like i'm losing a limb when i reach out to touch you, you're just touching him i won't ever want you back it takes two and i won't dance like you were taking out the trash turning now into the past i won't ever want you back keep my heart and keep my past and die alone from living fast three more lies i wish were fact

Bright 03:26
sandpaper skin / and pirate tongues all knives and wire and salted sun your bullet wounds / your dirty lungs armed to the teeth with poison rum and barbed wire we've been to war with darker days we've fought ourselves with no escape but you wrote me down when i lost my name so brother, i will do the same and i'll sit through the darkness with you til we forget how to speak saw a handful of pennies in half just to watch the sparks remind us of when we shone so bright before the silence got too heavy to bear alone i've still a got a little rage, a little fight it's hidden under all my worst regrets and all my fears that say the cautioneers were right so let's put the pedal down; see what kind of trouble we can find remind ourselves that we are dangerous so i'll sit through the darkness with you til we forget how to speak saw a handful of pennies in half just to watch the sparks remind us of when we shone so bright before the silence got too heavy to bear alone

Rogue Boat 03:05
when the rope broke i stood all alone on a rogue boat looking for hope, or an old float or maybe some break in the clouds but the stars hid like kids in the attic, like a mother i'm frantic but swallowed my panic and cursed what you did what am i supposed to do now? so i guess i'm lost at sea on a boat made of things that i always did hate about me so even if you called me home i wouldn't know which way to go i wouldn't know which way to go hallelujah homeward bound hallelujah lost and found hallelujah siren's sound hallelujah shoot me down

Talk Me Down 03:18
let's trade these broken hearts for something meaningful let's keep trading skins til the ones we're in are beautiful cause for awhile i could not separate mirrors from demons (no) i was holding candles to my lies but you were setting fire to my eyes i was writing letters to myself you were putting cross words into elegant tunes you talk me down i've battled with the truth for nearly all my life i love an underdog, i love to prove them wrong but what can i do when truth's the bullying kind when it hurts you all the way down now i'm holding candles to my lies now you're setting fire to my eyes now i'm writing letters to myself now you're putting cross words into elegant tunes so talk me down i'm a ship inside a storm save me now i'm a room without a floor talk me down my confidence is worn now i'm holding candles to my lies but now you're setting fire to my eyes now i'm writing letters to myself but now you're putting cross words into elegant tunes i was holding candles to my lies but you were setting fire to my eyes i was writing letters to myself you were putting cross words into elegant tunes you talk me down

Dark Clay 03:31
I wanna be a shining diamond I wanna sparkle in the light I wanna shine so you can see the sun reflecting and remember all the warmth that it provides I wanna sing to you in major chords I wanna be your lullaby I wanna be the last thing that you hear when you slip into the kind of sleep with dreams where you can fly But I am dark, dark clay I'm all made up of earth and ugly rain But even when I twist myself to sad and awful shapes You find a way to love me anyway You keep finding ways to love me anyway So maybe this will be my story Maybe this will be my song That even if I'm made from only cold and lonely clay, your love can make it so I'm willing to keep fighting, fighting on. If you're with me, I'll keep fighting, fighting on. (choir) So even if I never sparkle Even if the Winter's never gone Maybe I can still provide a little bit of hope to those that need to know that everything's not wrong Even in the Winter, everything's not wrong. I am dark, dark clay I'm all made up of earth and ugly rain I'm the kind of scene no one should ever want to paint But you find a way to love me anyway You keep finding ways to love me anyway. credits
