New Virginia 02:48
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

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 04:52
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

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
