Let Down

Wake and break, but don’t mistake my calm for weak
Wrapped so tight balled inside so far to speak
I don’t wanna feel it
I don’t wanna be let down
I don’t wanna feel it
I don’t wanna be let down
Break the silence, all your violence gonna kill you, kid
You had the chance to be the man, but you ran and you hid
I don’t wanna feel it
I don’t wanna be let down
I don’t wanna feel it
I don’t wanna be let down
Shakin’ off the coil
Gonna make it all before you
Motor’s leakin’ oil
Gonna slide
I don’t wanna feel it
I don’t wanna be let down
I don’t wanna feel it
I don’t wanna be let down

1 and One

Any kind of sweet devotion gets lost in the shuffle
Of the day to day
How you wanna be versus how your feathers get ruffled
It’s your time to pay
Hold these reins just to keep me true and honest
But it never pays
Hold your tongue save for what’s been thrown upon us
Ridin’ all these waves
When it comes down
I’ll deliver
When our one and one
Makes three
If there was a way to explain the downward spiral
That became
I never would have made you live up to the final
Past few days
Spoken words don’t return and turn back the silence
There’s no shadow there
Broken verse done your worst now you live with chalice
Your battle-share
When it comes down
I’ll deliver
When our one and one
Makes three

Not That Serious
05:19
|

|
All the words we speak are
Catching up with me, there's no
There's no reason too deep
For my ever changing heart
I'll wait.
I'll wait.
Did you read the note I wrote?
Can you take me home now?
This is not a joke,
But it's not that serious.
Catch a wave that breaks.
This acid is giving me the shakes, again
Someone put out these flames
On my ever burning heart
I'll wait.
I'll wait.
I'll wait.
I will wait.
Did you read the note I wrote?
Can you take me home now?
This is not a joke,
But it's not that serious.
It's not so easy to be in love.
She tries to please me, but I hold her off.
I take my time with her to make it right,
But not tonight.
No not tonight.
I wait up hours for her to speak.
She leaves this sour taste in front of me.
It's all the same when I do my thing.
I do my thing.
Did you read the note I wrote?
Can you take me home now?
This is not a joke,
But it's not that serious.
Not that serious.

Play This Game

A.M. and the sun’s comin’ up
I fill my bowl and I drink my cup
How you know we’re never givin’ up
Sure as the stars are fadin’
Because we don’t wanna lose
We don’t wanna play this game
We don’t wanna choose
When we know it’s all the same
Afternoon and the sun they say
Is as high as it’s gonna be today
These pretty things that we give away
Will never replace us
Because we don’t wanna lose
We don’t wanna play this game
We don’t wanna choose
When we know it’s all the same
Evening break day fades
and all the pretty things we had that we gave away,
No they’re never comin’ back,
and that’s no fright ‘cause we’ve been waiting here all night
Bottle tip cup been flip script up
do our best not to take too much on this flight
all the we write It’s not tonight everything gonna be alright
Because we don’t wanna lose
We don’t wanna play this game
We don’t wanna choose
When we know it’s all the same

Another Habit
04:45
|
|||
|
I fell into
another habit, and it’s nothing new
But would it still ring true
if you could have your cake and eat it too
But there’s not big enough a fork
Because I came from
Where you’re going
And I’ve seen the signs
On your face
Did I change your mind
But I couldn’t wonder
I kept it all inside
And fell from under
But I’m not ready to relate
Because I came from
Where you’re going
And I’ve seen the signs
On your face
It’s the last time
That we’re showing
All these cards we hold
The ones you embrace

Be Gone
03:54
|
|||
|
Be gone, son
I never thought you’d wear out your welcome
But I was wrong
I’m not alone
The weight of the stone drags us under
And we go down
I’ve never been one to let myself
Drown
Always be comin’ down
Well it goes around again
Your face shows pride
To run and hide
your words turn to weapons
And I’m alright
Yet I’m the one
Who’s target’s on and you’re firing
Into this line
That’s how it goes when you’re firing blind
Always be coming down
Well it goes around again
