Keep It Simple, Stupid
03:36

Oh All The words you say / Are building up a rude escape / Made of dry mâché / And it reeks of gasoline before you set it off
You're giving it up / You're giving it up now / You're giving it up before you lose control
You might find, living in the middle / It’s so worth keeping it simple / But you're always finding out / What all your friends are talking about
It's just your attitude / That's got you feeling so removed / From all the people who / Have kindly brought you here / I think it's time to stop
You're living it up / You're living it up now / You're living it up, before you lose yourself
You might find, living in the middle / It’s so worth keeping it simple / But you're always finding out / What all your friends are talking about
What did you have to prove as a ticking clock; a burning fuse? / You talk so much / It’s why no one talks to you
You're always finding out / What all your friends are talking about
You might find, living in the middle / It’s so worth keeping it simple / But you're always finding out / What all your friends are talking about

Oceancrest

I carried your body to the oceancrest / I looked down to see if I could feel your breath / Don't look back / When I lower you / Into the depths / Of the water / And it fills your lungs / And your hair begins to float / In-between you and me
It was a friday night when I left you all alone / You said don’t be late because I need you here at home / I always knew there’s another choice to make / You’re the memory and the energy I taste
You're so secure / You pick me up / You make me better
I wonder if they will find the evidence / Of the red wine and the blood stains / On our carpet / And after they find you / At the place where we both / Decided to make you leave this world, oh no / And after they find me / At the end of my road / No I'll never speak the secrets that we told
You're so secure / You pick me up / You make me better
It was a friday night when I left you all alone / You said don’t be late because I need you here at home / I always knew there’s another choice to make / You’re the memory and the energy I taste
You're so secure / You pick me up / You make me better

Too Long Didn't Read
03:38
|

Easy with the light / No need to shine it on / The evil things I've done / The things I am / No need to shine it on / The evil things I've done
You call me on the drive home / There's a party in your back room / I tell myself it's not my fault if I can't choose / You keep going to the bathroom / Keep saying you'll be back soon / Try to please all the people / And they want you to know
I'm not a man / It's so hard for you to understand / It's not easy being open to the world
Easy with the light / No need to shine it on / The evil things I've done / The things I am / No need to shine it on / The evil things I've done
Now it's four in the morning / And there's a sober informing / I'm out committing sins that tear my life to bits / Tell me what's the objective / Or the price of perspective / In a room full of these people Who want me to choose
They want me to choose
I'm not a man / It's so hard for you to understand / It's not easy being open to the world / Should I tell myself it's not so bad? / It's not so bad
Easy with the light / No need to shine it on / The evil things I've done / The things I am / No need to shine it on / The evil things I've done

New Friends
03:21
|
|
||
When i think about it this hurts / And it's harder than you know / Because your always busy somewhere / With some people I don't know / Is there room inside of your mind? / Do you ever even think about me? / Are you mocking all our time spent? / Maybe all you ever did was doubt me
When you feel the cool wave / Let it rise up and rush into your body / Let wash in / Erase every thought of me / Let the calm blue slowly take you over / Young, until the night ends / You're always with your new friends
Your new friends, your new friends, your new friends / Always with your new friends, your new friends / You're only young until the night ends / You're always with your new friends
Designer shoes / Designer drugs / You told yourself to open up / Now you're poisoning your body / And gambling your mind / On a wish that's losing its wings / And falling from the sky
When you feel the cool wave / Let it rise up and rush into your body / Let wash in / Erase every thought of me / Let the calm blue slowly take you over / Young, until the night ends / You're always with your new friends
Your new friends, your new friends, your new friends / Always with your new friends, your new friends / You're only young until the night ends / You're always with your new friends
I think that I'm worried for your safety / And I can help you but I don’t think you’ll let me
When you feel the cool wave / Let it rise up and rush into your body / Let wash in / Erase every thought of me / Let the calm blue slowly take you over / Young, until the night ends / You're always with your new friends
Your new friends, your new friends, your new friends / Always with your new friends, your new friends / You're only young until the night ends / You're always with your new friends

Higher
03:25
|
|||
Are we both the same? / Or maybe we both just feel the same way / Maybe we should change / If the reflection that you see / Makes you question the decisions you made
I say it's complicated / You think I'm overstating / Maybe we just need some time to figure it out / I think it's time to end it / This time I'm not pretending / But its only you who can straighten me out
I’m getting higher / I’m getting higher I can’t move / I’m getting higher / I’m getting higher next to you
It's not about the separation that we read / Or another way to kill the pain we fiend / I get so numb it's hard to think / And I’m reaching for that bottle every time you blink
I say it's complicated / You think I'm overstating / Maybe we just need some time to figure it out / I think it's time to end it / This time I'm not pretending / But its only you who can straighten me out
I’m getting higher / I’m getting higher I can’t move / I’m getting higher / I’m getting higher next to you
Did you know / About the way that you intoxicate me
I’m getting higher / I’m getting higher I can’t move / I’m getting higher / I’m getting higher next to you

Head Out West
04:58
|
|||
I'll head out west if its with you / We can pack up our things leaving only room for two / I know we don't know what the future has in store / But with you by my side we can weather out the storm
Wake me up, when I can see the coastline stretching out / We'll sing that song when we can feel the sunshine pouring down
We've been on the road all through the night / Only stopping for gas every couple hundred miles / But you turn your face and through the sleep you crack a smile / I put my foot on the gas / I can do this for a while
Wake me up, when I can see the coastline stretching out / We'll sing that song when we can feel the sunshine pouring down
I feel the restraint now as the road climbs / I can see the peak with my weary tired eyes / Then as we float down the sun will kiss my face / While the air grows thick with the ocean's warm embrace

Night of the Walking Ted
02:32
|
|||
Drifting through the night / It's almost like my mind is racing faster
than the time can pass me by / I couldn't feel more surrounded / I wish that I could shut my eyes and rest tonight / But the drive keeps winding
I never have time to sleep / It's like I never have time to sleep / No I never have time
Most of those who fail are really just the people who never realized how close they really came / Can you really ignore the future? / Am I the only one who realizes that death is there just watching me / Watching me / Watching me / Watching / She's watching me
I wish that I could could close my eyes / I wish that I could rest tonight / But the work is never done / There will always be another battle waiting to be won
But I never have time to sleep / No / I never have time to sleep no / I never have time to sleep / No / I never have time to sleep

Wild Things
03:35
|
|||
I think you need to let me take you hand / There's a world outside and it's waiting for us two / I'll take you to a place that's full of stars / And when you let them in your blood you feel the truth
Lets stay up all night / Just like we have to / As if we don't have another choice / Lets stay up all night / To drink the sunrise / And scream until we lose our voice
Oh / Let’s scream all night until we lose our voice
We'll feel it in our veins and in our brains / When world just stops and the time ceases to move / When you get tired you can lean on me / And when I start to spin will you let me lean on you?
Lets stay up all night / Just like we have to / As if we don't have another choice / Lets stay up all night / To drink the sunrise / And scream until we lose our voice
Oh / Let’s scream all night until we lose our voice
You keep your eyes on me / And keep moving ever close / Still, I don’t know / If I can live that way / You keep your eyes on me / You keep your eyes on me
We're going to a place that's full of stars / And when you let them in your blood you only feel the truth / We'll feel it in our veins and in our brains / When world just stops and the time ceases to move
Oh / Let’s scream all night until we lose our voice / Lets stay up all night
to drink the sunrise / And scream until we lose our voice
