Contradictions are you happy or, do you hate things even more
Can I discern a blessing in disguise from a veil over demise
While your drinking do you still need help, keeping off the floor
Your not my problem anymore
Chorus:
Come to grips,
this is the first time
in a long time
that I haven't missed your face
Do you know you've been erased at it was
Not a stab in the back
It was a shot in the heart
Did they pull you away
Or did we fall apart
I think you know
I'm guessing the weight became unbearable
And the guilt it ate you inside out
Stuck my neck out for a miracle
I'd still do the same
But you let the fire you once had in your eyes, burn this bridge of ours
Both wondering what the other was doing
Alone in our cars
Chorus
Count your blessings
Count your losses
Fix your path
Hope it never crosses
You played me while we played the game
You fucked me up now we're even
The secrets in our prose and cons
This ship is sinking
Nothing can save this
Thats wishful thinking
Chorus
It was a shot in the heart
Or did we fall apart
I think you know
Were you a friend
Or just an instrument to mend
That I'd append to
Solve all my self inflicted problems

The speaker sits atop the table
I persist to ask you a favor
Under my breath I whisper please
With no intent but to invest in the lack of company
I know this is as good as gold
Tonight I'll be
Outback kicking it with old friends
Listening to every song you can't stand
The night is young and so are we
There is no place I'd rather be
Fast talking strangers
Tryna find a ride to the joint by the fire-station
We got no plans
There is no need
Just say the word
Lay it on me
And my terminal impermanence
It Does not apply here
Seems to disappear when you're near
Fixating on the thought
Am I conscious or clever enough
To keep you on my line
To find the place and time
To ask you if your thoughts of me
Ever will subside
Chorus
And I got nothing left to lose but you
Lose but you
Stuck between
Lessons learned and "this could be different"
But I can't get you off my mind
This time
Chorus

I’ve been trying hard to wash you away
From the river head straight to the bay
With a cluttered mind and guilt like glue
I can’t pass the toll without the due
The fastest things I’ve ever seen
Were never physical entities
But feelings fickle as fun and fame
Like an East coast spring and sudden pain
Chorus:
Oooh
You said that you know
You said that you know that I'm not
I'm Not missing you
You bet it all
You said that you bet it all
I bit the blame and I'll admit
I'm not missing you
I just feel different
We aren’t the same
I took the risk
And reaped the pain
I’ve ran for miles
But with every step
I looked behind and felt regret
Take me back to where the trees bend
Chorus
There's only one truth
That's i can live without you
instead of giving up
Im gonna get this off my chest
I can't fucking say that I'm over this
I guess I'll wait and hope time will tell
Chorus

I hear what they're sayin, it's always the same shit
The mirror is all you got, the fakeness embrace it.
The song is still playing but I hear what you're saying
The time that you're taking will fade so I'm waiting
I'm waiting while...
Chorus:
I'm trying to keep from falling asleep in the corner
regretting words I'll never say
I'm fallin asleep, I'm fallin asleep in the corner
but I won't let you get away
Contemplating my self worth, headaches and the torture
You're forcing, not scoring, so poor, end of story
Im shaking my head now while yours is in the cloud
I'll be on the rebound when you're on the come down
You say we're one in the same and we're both part of this game
But your lack there of is so fucking lame
Chorus
Interlude
Chorus 2x
I won't let you get away
I won't I won't
Let you get away
Away away away

We all split fire, Got a little burned
But I never Felt slighted, not even a bit spurned
Would you jump off a bridge if they told you to
Depends on the temp and my point of view
The DNR came and I lost my shoe
Steve's left foot caught a flathead screw
No man left behind, we pulled him through
Chorus:
So here's my clique song
About the street that I grew up on
No irony or feelings blue
About the times I had on Sunshine avenue
And its like you were never gone
When your back home
And All the drives on those Saturdays
I chose you guys, and discolored eyes
I thought, you would never leave
Never will view you as less then kin
So here's my clique song
About the street that I grew up on
No irony or feelings blue
About the times I had on Sunshine avenue
And I can't say your wrong
About decisions when you were gone
Cuz everyone's got a reason hiding
Beneath the many things, the many things that bind them
And I hope you never thought I was holding you back
Or that was something that you factored in before you had left
Cuz I don't think I could live with myself if I was the prick
That forced you out of this town that made you so sick
Of the nights out on the Chesapeake on my father's boat
Or biking down to bradshaw braving Goettner's slope
I knew I'd miss your stories and your wondrous bluntness
I thought you were the lodestone that guided my compass
You fill my lungs

Chorus:
I think you need to
Take a break take a breath
I guess online is where you get off
Dear self appointed savior
Your thoughts are like tar
They latch themselves upon your lungs
To be exhaled wherever you are
But where's your credibility
Its still yet to be seen
its hard to serve up justice
When your behind a computer screen
Cuz they can still put a fool on a pedestal
the added height won't change the act
I think I'm better, better then ever
Since I lost sight of you back
I think you need to
take a break, take a breath
I guess online Is where you get off
Why can't you follow through
if only what you say was subsequently what you do
You'd think that all the time you spent
Forcing yourself into peoples heads
You'd gain a little bit of perseptive
But your mind is lit by candlelight
Forever and always short of sight
You think you won the war but you have not begun the fight
Not begun the fight
Chorus
And to think that I have ever had respect for you
When everything I say you always seem to fucking misconstrue
Step back and find better use
Do you know you've turned us into the black sheep of this entire scene
It doesnt matter cuz I'll turn you into my amphetamine
I'm set you have to
Long outro
