New Virginia

These days when I'm sleeping, I'll dream about the day
The day that I might visit home again
Virginia if you read this, I'm going about my way
To find out if I'm sleeping or if I'm dead
In the attic I find dad's old coin case
And I put it with the nightmares on the shelf
I close the door, I lock it, I walk away
Will I look on it again
The floorboards creak their secrets to the empty wooden chairs
There's beauty in the cracks lining the walls
Virginia if I leave here, my only trace will be a prayer
Will anybody be here when it falls
In the kitchen are my brother's car keys
And I put them with the nightmares on the shelf
I close the door, I lock it, I walk away
Will I look on them again
The tables are lined with pictures
Where a family used to breathe
And these rooms, I think they're dreaming
Dreaming of what they used to mean
In my bedroom I find shattered mirrors
And I put them with the nightmares on the shelf
I close the door, I lock it, I walk away
Will I look on them again
I close the door, I lock it, I walk away
Will I see this place again

Is He a Fool
03:08
|

He will scream her name in a place noone can hear
Ao when the echoes die out, noone can watch him cry
The ocean runs between us
Tracts of land beneath us
Let my heart take me to you
Don't cry I'll be there soon
Is he a fool for believing that everything will be alright
While all the world around him is lost in the fire of his heart
Is he a fool for crying, for escaping from that world
To live in the darkness of his heart where noone can hear him scream, he said
"One day I will die alone and that's okay with me" but oh
Where will we go
Where will we go when you're finally free
Have you ever crossed the street with your eyes tightly closed
In the hopes of reaching that special place to call your home, well
Throw the coin in the wishing well and close your eyes tight
Don't worry, I'll be there soon
As long as you keep me in your heart
Hold me tight, keep me warm
These pictures of flame hold no heat at all
Hold me tight, keep me warm
These pictures of flame hold no heat at all
Hold me tight, keep me warm
These pictures of flame hold no heat at all
Hold me tight, keep me warm
These pictures of flame hold no heat
Is he a fool for believing that everything will be alright
While all the world around him is lost in the fire of his heart
Is he a fool for crying, for escaping from that world
To live in the darkness of his heart where noone can hear him scream, he said
"One day I will die alone and that's okay with me" but oh
Where will we go
Where will we go when you're finally free

What makes my mind, stuck all on you
I can't bear it
Why should I fight, noone so true
Did share this, oh
Please come kiss me now
Before you go
Please come kiss me now
I just want to know
Alone the night, the trees gather dew
Now I know that I can't relate
Feelin' so high, you must see me too
But we got nothin to say
In the flash of my eyes, did you see that my heart
Forgot to beat
Nothing so right, oh I knew from the start
Knew what I needed
Please come kiss me now
Before you go
Please come kiss me now
I just want
Why don't I remember what happened since I saw you last
Everybody else to me is lost in the past, I said
Open up the window so I can show you the night
Listen to the lion tell you to close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes, so you can
Please come kiss me now
Please come kiss me now
Please come kiss me now
Please come kiss me now
My mind is spinning like

Hello Mr. Dream
It's another lonely night
Hollow underneath
I see new colors in your eyes
It is never how it seems
Here
Heep inside my dreams
Here I lay down
Here I lay down
Trapped inside my bed
Like a river turned stone
What else do we get
Besides the notches on our bones
I am almost round the bend
Here
Still inside my head
Here I lay down
Here I lay down
Do you know the way, well I do, and I
Dreamt the day I'd slide through, and so
They say you go two by two
So where's mine
Hello to my queen
I wish you'd sing another song
Back in the between
Into a different kind of fog
What is what I see
Here
Can this really be
Here I lay down
Here I lay down
Do you know the way, well I do, and I
Dreamt the day I'd slide through, and so
They say you go two by two
So where's mine
Worry not my sweet
Why don't you come another time
Worry not for me
The only battle here is mine
I am looking for the light
Here
Guided by the night
Here I lay down
Here I lay down
Do you know the way, well I do, and I
Dreamt the day I'd slide through, and so
They say you go two by two
Two by two
Please let it all fall out of my mind
Please let it all fall out of my mind
Please let it all fall out of my mind
Please let it all fall out of my mind

Swim 'Til I'm Dead
02:54
|
|||
The water, they told me
Can wash away pain
A young man's first honest mistake
But what they don't tell you
When goin through hell is
That goin is what it will take
Wave after wave
A silent parade
As the ocean seeps into my bones
Wave after wave
Don't know how many days
I've been swimming the ocean alone
I gave all I carried
Yet more had been stolen
I don't know how I became old
You can give it all up
And say enough is enough
But the ocean, it calls for us all
Wave after wave
A silent parade
As the ocean seeps into my bones
Wave after wave
Don't know how many days
I've been swimming the ocean alone
I swim to keep living
I'll swim 'til I'm dead
I'll swim as the moon turns to sun
But us who keep swimming
Will tell you for certain
When you gamble it's the devil whose won
Wave after wave
A silent parade
As the ocean seeps into my bones
Wave after wave
Don't know how many days
I've been swimming the ocean alone
I've been swimming the ocean alone
I've been swimming the ocean alone
Oh, the sea is my grave
In the ocean I'm buried alone

Talk to Me
04:22
|
|||
Here is where I thought I'd find you
Do I look the same?
Talk to me
Remember when the days last forever
They could never be done
Now try me
Now when she calls
I'll never know
How bare the walls
Of my home
Wasteland
I'm in a wasteland
You're talkin over me and I've had enough
Wasteland
Get me outta of this place, man
I've had enough and I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Slide the knife across the table
I'll show you how it's done
You feel me
I haven't heard you speak for a year now
But maybe I went deaf
Forgive me
Now when she calls
I'll never know
How bare the walls
Of my home
Wasteland
I'm in a wasteland
You're talkin over me and I've had enough
Wasteland
Get me outta of this place, man
I've had enough and I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I wonder what it's like to look
Right through me
We always made our way back around here
I wanna make a mistake
Now take me, now take me oh
Wasteland
I'm in a wasteland
You're talkin over me and I've had enough
Wasteland
Get me outta of this place, man
I've had enough and I'm sorry
I'm in a wasteland
I'm in a wasteland
You're talkin over me and I've had enough
Wasteland
Get me outta of this place, man
I've had enough and I'm sorry

Brewster

I wanna find your hair left behind in my bed
I wanna kiss you close not just within my head
I wanna sing out loud and catch you listening
It's just that sorta thing
You said you want a man who works and stays on track
I know that I can't help from fallin on my back
I wanna prove to you there's more to me than drink
At least I think
I'm all bottled up
I can't take it anymore
Remember when I promised I had nothin left to pour
I only said I'd listen 'cause I thought that you might kiss me
Take me to Brewster
Take me to the long night
I always thought I'd find my picture in your purse
I wish I'd known it would develop in reverse
Can't tell if I can help break from the home I know
so should I go
I'm all bottled up
I can't take it anymore
Remember when I promised I had nothin left to pour
I only said I'd listen 'cause I thought that you might kiss me
Take me to Brewster
Take me to the long night
Guess it's gonna be a long night
Guess it's gonna be a long night
I grew up with a ghost, he echoes in these halls
Do you think I'm a man if I'm not standing tall
Maybe if I'd change, you'd show me where you lay
But I'm afraid
I'm all bottled up
I can't take it anymore
Remember when I promised I had nothin left to pour
I only said I'd listen 'cause I thought that you might kiss me
Take me to Brewster
Take me to the long night

In the Bughouse
03:26
|
|||
Remember when the dogs came, bloody coats adorned with silver
In their hands they carry thunder, from our souls they summon rain
I woke up in the bughouse, bleeding hearts lost in the walls
I think I speak for all of us when I say
I hear the siren's call
Remember when they told us we are sinful, we are Cain
That we won't see home again, we'll spend our lives under the gun
I woke up in the bughouse, bleeding hearts lost in the walls
I think I speak for all of us when I say
I hear the siren's call
Why should I sleep? I can sleep forever when I'm gone
Why should I weep? There will be time to weep when the war is won
One day we'll all go home
With only memories of feeling alone
But until then
I think I'll lay here
And I'll just pray here
Again
Remember when the angels led us home up to the stars
Despite our wicked, wicked scars, their love washed away the pain
I look down at the bughouse, bleeding hearts lost in the walls
I think I speak for all of us when I say
I hear the siren's call
