Liquid Dreams

I waited on years to come and wash it out
that heavy bottle feels so good
something to drown my doubt
and though i see it, i just got to leave it
a sinking ship for us to weekend
down to the coast
and we're not coming back home
no, i don't wanna go
i don't wanna change at all
i don't wanna lose your call
liquid dreams
they're bursting at the seems
and no one wants to tell the truth
till you twist their arm
and setting fire to the wishing well
i'll sound the alarm
and though i see it, i just got to leave it
a sinking ship for us to weekend
down to the coast
and we're not coming back home
no, i don't wanna go
i don't wanna change at all
i don't wanna lose your call
liquid dreams
we're bursting at the seems
you say, you can taste it
right on the tip of your tongue
i know, i look so stupid
trying to save everyone

all i need's a little truth from you
but you won't break so what should i do
but turn and let this house burn
now i'm stuck still wondering
was it me or you, or do we have to pretend that this meant nothing
well i felt something
andrea, i have lost it all
you're still stuck there
staring at the same walls
it's what i want
it's what i need
it's all of the above and all inbetween
we know, you ain't right
it's been a year since just last may
you were looking cool but you got away
when i tried, i tried to bind you
we got so drunk that summer night
staggered out looking for a fight
well we got one, the lesson's been taught hun
andrea, i have lost it all
you're still stuck there
staring at the same walls
it's what i want
it's what i need
it's all of the above and all inbetween
we know, you ain't right
so take me back to your place
i've been searching for the right words to say, my friend
so tell me when we get there
i've been thirsty for miles, so replace my sin

The Curse
04:15

oh i know, i might have shown it all
with my cards on the table
you're staring from the wall
you stood to speak
the words would creep out your skull
but there's no hope now
already spinning out of control
oh i know, i don't have to say it anymore
i don't have to wait for your pretty cure
pacing out beside the lake tonight
with two broken hands we reached up for the sky
the ghosts would weep
at dreams so bleak and cold
and for once in my life
i just wanna know, where this road goes
oh i know, i don't have to say it anymore
i don't have to wait for your pretty cure
we both know, we're not gonna make it out alive
just gotta get up and try
your old friends have died, its the curse
the worst you've known

Carousel
03:46

you helped me exercise my demons
in the dusky bedroom evening
i know, i might
yeah, i might of been wrong
but it don't take a profit
to sing a song
in my dreams, last night i saw you
hemming and hawing
with desperate attitude
i watched you dissolve beneath the carousel light
a weakened scar to wake up your fight
wake me up when i get to old to breathe
tell me that it's alright to go home and sleep
all of my lovers have gone and died
so i'll be saying my
sweet sweet goodbyes
oh where'd you go
when all of this stops, i can't let go
all my lovers have gone and died
so i'll be saying my
sweet sweet goodbye
brace for the waters
there coming quick
your heart my stuttered
as the wave hits
and now i'm drowning in this talk
layed down by the willow in the park

Heavy Minds
03:53

keep your hands where i can see them
i know that you've got some plans
two of us just lonely lovers
asleep on burning sand
i can make it, all alright
so call the ghosts what you will
got alot to do to fix this mess
i can feel your bright eyes calling me
heavy minds, under duress
i can make it, all allright
just try, oh why
fear holds my lips back
and one more time for the attack
looking for a distraction
to keep us alive
something with a little more action
so what should i do with myself
got a crush that's taking me down
just want to hold you closely
some love, lost and found
i can make it, all alright
and everybody's staring daggers
with arms folded, they won't last
so let me know just how you really feel
the machine's worn and cracked
i can make it, all alright
just try, oh why
fear holds my lips back
and one more time for the attack
looking for a distraction
to keep us alive
something with a little more action
fear holds my lips back
and one more time for the attack
looking for a distraction
to keep us alive
something with a little more action
a little more action
a little more, a little more, a little more

Ghost Town
03:51
|

Wait, i don't wanna lose this yet
the pace, it quickens with every breath
the streets, the schools,
the woods where we used to run
now we are a dying star, headed for the sun
ride around, ride around
ghost town, ghost town
stay beautiful like you were back then
fate, keeps rushing in to begin
bombs will drop from up above,
as we watch on the lawn
bearing down, to melt the faces of the ones we love
ride around, ride around
ghost town, ghost town
they told us all to fight the war
but we weren't having it
their bombs and swords and guns would break
as we called it quits
