Like swimming in deep water
And trying not to drown
I'm watching you from way on high
And you're trying to tear me down
So lay your head down
Let me think now
Remember that I'm by your side
The screaming quiet of this old house
Could set my mind on fire
Time is catching up with us
And I am lost for words
I guess I could just stay with you
Until the lines have blurred
I'll lay my head beside the place
Where you left me to hide
A memory of time and space
To wash it all aside

Running Underwater

Time for registration
All your dreams and your frustrations
Come together seem to shine so bright
Out of your eyes
Table's gone to mayhem
For this man-damned generation
And despite myself, I find myself
Beside you here tonight
So don't get too close
And don't lose your head
It could still turn out fine
Just don't lose your head
Hand in hand we walk this path
That's laid by those who fight
Like running underwater
And hiding from the light
And maybe when together
We could find a cure for life
Like running underwater
And hiding from the light
So don't get too close
And don't lose your head
It could still turn out fine
Just don't lose your head

Crack a nosebleed tap a drain on life and find a friend
Wake one morning find you lost it all you look again
Never find it here always staring at the ceiling
Eyes are on her life but the signs are so misleading
Take another just a little white pill and lose your head
So drown in the riverbed
And dream of a better day
Pray for a peaceful death
And run from it anyway
Never find it here
Never seemed so clear
As the feelings disappear
Never seemed so clear
It stated with with nothing just an itch at most
Started cutting its way out the back of my throat
Now I reap what I sow as you lie in wait
To put me to rest in the bed I have made the bed I have made

Dumb
05:20

Ember burns
Your hand clasped in mine
Walking streets
And shining, brilliant lights
Darkened fields
A starless, heavy night
We shout into this world alive
I'm dumb and I'm fine
A city built reaches to the sky
We are awake and we don't wonder why
Breathing deep and lying side by side
Before we go out for a ride
I'm dumb and I'm fine
Throw you a line and you walk away
We live again to fight again
Why won't you look into my eyes
And tell me tell me no more lies
A siren sounds out in the night
You spin around just out of sight
I turn this corner and I know that I will die

Throw a rope around the sun
Follow it high over everyone
I won't come down until I feel I'm not the only one
I throw a rope so far I start to choke the sun
And I don't think you truly see
What all of this could mean to me
But someday, someday you'll be falling free
With no one there to catch you
And no counterpoint to gravity
When we speak there's no indication
Of what we're thinking underneath
But I can sense something overdue
Something just out of reach
And I don't think you understand
How you turned our lives into games
But even though you're different now
I'll never be the same

Dead Elephant

You don't bring out the worst in me
And I don't bring out the best in you
I guess that makes us even
I guess that makes us even
The snow it piles up
Crowding on this shelf
In the middle of July
And I can only blame myself
Pulling at your hair
Treading your mistakes
Clouding out my judgment
Breaking up my substance
Standing on the shore
Cause the end could come too soon
And I'd rather die bored
Than spend one more day with...

Eternal

Everything moves all around us
But we're stuck here in time
Trying to escape the senseless mess
Breaking the cycle one more time
I'm waiting for it all to come back
I've got you on my mind
And the clarity to see through this
I just can't seem to find
You cannot give up what you want
And I cannot give up what I've got
When letting go is giving up
And no one knows just when to stop
I've tried so hard to build this
And I've tried to play my hand
To make this something more than
Just these castles in the sand
In times like these we push and pull
We try to give and take
But when I let go it's all forgotten
In something else's wake
A battle lost is not a scar
And should not last for years
But all of your bravado
Is just a facade for your fears
The place that you are going's not
The place I'm trying to find
When you can't shake the sense
That you're eternally maligned

Pretty

And I feel that you're about to get away
And I feel like there is nothing left to say
I continue living through this daze
I get up, look around, I'm gone
Drive me far away from here
Find me a way to disappear
Sometimes it just seems too clear
That you don't get that
I'm not strong like you
It's not like this is something new
It's not like none of this is true
It's not like there's anything
That anyone could say or do
But sit here pretty, just like you

Pictures In The Mirror
08:14

Blurry faint and shadow
Moving trapped inside this dream
Pause for my reaction
Should I choke or maybe scream?
Kicking out my stomach
Illness will not let me be
Looking in this mirror
Pictures that could not be me
Breathe, keep breathing
Fight, keep fighting
Live, keep living
While you are dying
World spread out before me
Drops roll off these bodies
There's no room for pity
Never seen this place so empty
Crowds are all long gone now
All the chaos died down
Silence smothers this town
Nowhere now for me to go but down
Gathered around in white tile walls
The ones who are there around when you fall
Some crying, shaking, hugging, holding hands
Together now through sorrow for a passing man
Surrounded by friends
When you're at your rope's end
And you slip off into the gray
And you're dead
