take me down this road to nowhere
and you can watch me fall
you can watch me
take me down this road to nowhere
but drive slow
cause my minds turning left
and turning out right
but i don’t mind. at all
ill take this walk with one foot forward and two hands overhead
to let you know I'm fine
hide you baggage low so you can breathe
without suffocating me
slow and steady take me nearer
slow and steady i cant hear her
slow and steady move me forward
slow and steady take me nearer
slow and steady i cant hear her
slow and steady move me forward
slow and steady take me nearer
slow and steady i cant hear her
slow and steady move me forward
slow and steady take me nearer
slow and steady i cant hear her
slow and steady move me forward

Picture frames. Over exposed photos
from better days, and quieter thoughts.
Late night walks along your side.
Late night talks about the mind and how
the way you see is different to me.
Head to toe, we see flawless places faced with days that are covered by outright ignorance
just turn a blind eye and preach your innocence. You’re not that innocent.
Preach your innocence. You’re not that innocent.
Time is taping my mouth
It’s overtaking me. Over taking me.
Time is filling me with doubt.
It’s over taking me. You’re over taking me.
Faceless names, and a clock without a second hand in it’s second home
Well raised by a family of four. I could almost beat the door down.
With the beat of my heart. Together we’d make a marching band.
Sing it over and over and over again.
Time is taping my mouth
It’s overtaking me. Over taking me.
Time is filling me with doubt.
It’s over taking me. You’re over taking me.
Time is taping my mouth
It’s overtaking me. Over taking me.
Time is filling me with doubt.
It’s over taking me. You’re over taking me.

Drown Me

There once was a girl who fell for another one
called them her lover cause she sure as hell loved it
when they spoke ‘bout the future. the life they’d have together
in the woods, big tall trees like nothing else could matter.
no one would say “this isn’t right. you’re not okay”
maybe she wouldn’t worry what her mother had to say.
her family weren’t religious but sin was still sin in their eyes.
Jesus Christ.
Go ahead and drown me in the holiest of waters
light your candles set me off. set this off
and drown me, in the holiest of waters light your candles and hold your breath ‘till you reach the top.
Pray to God from within. Scrape your knees, let them bleed out down
Across your feet and to the ground
and I will try to bite my tongue, hold my breath and think of the safest haven in my mind
when the big hand strikes twelve I’ll speak through my teeth and say.
Go ahead and drown me in the holiest of waters
light your candles set me off. set this off
and drown me, in the holiest of waters light your candles
and drown me in the holiest of waters
light your candles set me off. set this off
and drown me, in the holiest of waters light your candles and hold your breath ‘till you reach the top.
Go ahead and drown me in the holiest of waters
light your candles set me off. set this off
and drown me, in the holiest of waters
go ahead and
go ahead and
go ahead and
light your candles

Today I’ll wake up
and i’ll try and look you in the eyes
don’t get me wrong it’s what I want
and i’m trying so damn hard
but my mind is dislocated
from every move i make
sometimes my hands will shake
and my mouth wont say the words I need to say
but give me time and give me patience
and i will give you what you want
all that you deserve
I’ll give you all i’ve got
but for now there’s this song
and i know it might not makes sense
but it does in my head
and not too often does that happen

I lost it all
and now i'm getting back on my feet
and you're running beside me
now we're running
it took a while
countless nights of bad dreams
restless hours of no sleep
i'd lye awake and pray for the best
to escape from the rest and get away
to escape from the rest and get away
'cause you can see me
now it's high tide, and i'm swimming
all the seagulls they're watching me come home
ten feet tall, you know it all
you know all the things to say to me
without sinking all the thought i work so hard to keep afloat
and the anchors getting close
and waves are crashing overhead
inside out my clothes are wet
and waves are crashing overhead
upside down my mind is drenched
and waves are crashing overhead
waves are crashing overhead
these waves they crash inside my head
'cause you can see me
now it's high tide, and i'm swimming
all the seagulls they're watching me come home
bright lights they'll keep flashing
if you hang around, you'll hear the rocks sing
all the seagulls they're watching me come home.

You know those days you fall apart
when you're stuck between a happy place and a broken heart
you know the feeling of being misunderstood
when they tell you 'you're not alone'
then why do I feel so alone
It's all my fault, you see
it's all my fault that i'm stuck in this misery
it's all my fault and i'm sorry i let you down
so tonight i'll dance alone
I try to see a brighter side to things
but when there's a blackout silent sirens ring
the word gets around, a fire's breaking out
i won't leave my safe house
It's all my fault, you see
it's all my fault that i'm stuck in this misery
it's all my fault and i'm sorry i let you down
so tonight i'll dance alone
It's all my fault, you see
it's all my fault that i'm stuck in this misery
it's all my fault and i'm sorry i let you down
so tonight i'll dance alone
and tonight i'll dance alone
so tonight i'll dance alone.

I watched you walk behind
I watched you go
and now I'm falling down
now I'm falling
I watched the sky turn grey
The rain was pouring
now I'm falling too
now I'm falling
When you left, I stayed
waiting for another day, another life
waiting right here.
Falling down
fast
My mind is a mess
and my heart's in my hands
I'm stuck in my head
but I'm trying
to walk on my hands
and breathe without lungs
I know it doesn't make sense
but I'm trying
If I talk, I'll break
down to nothing more than a thought
I'll lose my mind
This time every year
I try to bite my tongue, not break down
I'll lose my mind
This time every year
I try to bite my tongue, not break down
I'll lose my mind
This time every year
I try to bite my tongue, not break down
I'll lose my mind
I watched you walk behind
I watched you go
and now I'm falling too
now I'm falling

I like to climb onto roofs
and let go of little balloons I’ve been holding onto for far too long
and sing this little tune to let you know I’m not all wrong
