Love by the Hour
03:25
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Look at me in the eyes and take your broken lies
And keep the things you say all to yourself as I
Cry out for help, but you put me in hell
And where this’ll go, no one can tell and I
Try to see the best in you, but the best of me is coming through so
Live and let die. This time I’m saying goodbye.
(Verse 2)
We just met yesterday, but you seem so far away
When you’re with me in the room, I’m in love with you.
You try to see the best in me and I hope the
Best of you doesn’t see through to who I really am.
(Verse 3)
Now we’re having good times, so please stay by my side.
With you here the city never looked so bright.
Getting closer and closer, there’s no need to
Go for the shot, don’t take it you know you won’t make it.
(Verse 4)
Now I don’t know you, but you’re getting to me.
Eight hours together and it suddenly shrinks
You’re getting to my deepness, all the ignorant
Bleakness and now you know
You are my weakness!
(Verse 5)
Look at me in the eyes and take your broken lies
And keep the things you say all to yourself as I
Cry out for help, but you put me in hell
And where this’ll go, no one can tell and I
Try to see the best in you, but the best of me is pulling through so
Live and let die. This time I’m saying goodbye.

October
02:04
|
|||
(Verse 1)
As apostasy takes over,
Gets hard to breathe, getting closer.
Never wanted me getting closure
Just bring me back to October.
Now it’s hard to breathe, I’m unsober
And they think they see that I’m older,
But they see facade, I’m a poser.
It’s time to know, I’m closer
(Verse 2)
As the light goes dark, I feel like the
Cold air I breathe dims the lighter.
It’s plain to see I’m no fighter.
Break me from the world I’m inside of,
And the walls collapse, lacking pride of
Oneself, I feel like I’m tied shut,
Always pushed and pulled, I’m a glider
Mangled in the wind, ever lighter.
(Verse 3)
The apostasy takes over.
It’s hard to breathe, I’m over.
I’d like to think of closure,
But now I see I’m a poser.
There’s nothing left, getting colder.
The lights go out, they’re sobered.
Red glider rips, it’s over.
I’m letting go, October.

Sixteen Going On Sixty
04:51
|
|||
(Verse 1)
It’s perfect now, I’ve come to rest, but the
Anxiety has contest and the
Cracks glossed over by my best are
Showing now through time and test. The
Broken chords ring in my mind and the
Drums only beat out of time
Diminished, diminishing my mind and
Coming back for my own life.
(Chorus)
I have nothing left to lose,
Sixteen going onto sixty.
Can I beg for your excuse?
I am broken from my youth,
Sixteen going onto sixty.
It’s time to cut it loose.
(Verse 2)
Am I too young or far too old to
Not abide by what I’m told?
Keep yourself at the utmost best and
Heal the cracks through time and test.
I’m tired of wisdom I’m dealt yet
Thankful ‘cus it’s dealt me well.
Do I reform to live a lie or
Wrestle with the hate inside?
(Chorus)
I have nothing left to lose,
Sixteen going onto sixty.
Can I beg for your excuse?
I am broken from the youth,
Sixteen going onto sixty.
It’s time to cut it loose.
(Chorus)
I have nothing left to lose,
Sixteen going onto sixty.
Can I beg for your excuse?
I am broken from the youth,
Sixteen going onto sixty.
It’s time to cut me loose.

The Best I Could Be
04:05
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Doesn't matter anymore
I'm trying to get away from this
Sadness, sadness I thought that I would end up the
Gladdest, man it's hard to keep this
Going on
Everything you say or do is driving me into this
Madness, madness, before I never worried 'bout
Status and I can't keep this
Going on... Any more
(Verse 2)
Doesn't matter how I feel
Can't matter if it's not real
That's what you'd all like to think
Is it all really fake
Do I not have what it takes?
I want to do everything I can
Just to be with you
(Chorus)
I'm trying to be the best that I could ever be
I want you to know, I want you to see
How much I care for you
How much I want you to be happy
I want to be the best that I could ever be
I'm trying to get you to know
I'm trying to get you to see
Everything that I'd do
Just to be with you
(Verse 3)
Is there really much more for me to say
I'm trying to look at this from every possible way
I want to know what it feels like
To love someone who loves me too
And though I may have come at it a bit too strong
I'll do anything to right my wrongs
I want to show how much that I would do for you so I'm
Writing this song
(Chorus)
I'm trying to be the best that I could ever be
I want you to know, I want you to see
How much I care for you
How much I want you to be happy
I want to be the best that I could ever be
I'm trying to get you to know
I'm trying to get you to see
Everything that I'd do
Just to be with you
(Bridge)
Even though you may have loved me too
You made the call and all I could do was
Say okay but all I wanted to do was
Run away!
(Chorus)
I'm trying to be the best that I could ever be
I want you to know, I want you to see
How much I care for you
How much I want you to be happy
I want to be the best that I could ever be
I'm trying to get you to know
I'm trying to get you to see
Everything that I'd do
Just to be with you

It Needs a Title
03:00
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Raindrops falling on the window
Creating a deafening roar
And it's been a long time since I've felt this way
The wind is howling, breaking my heart
Over and over again,
But the dim light gets me through the night
Standing above my head
(Chorus)
And tonight I think I'll go to sleep
Before the thoughts of you drift away from me
And the silence brings me to my knees
And I sit there thinking hopelessly
(Verse 2)
And as the music flows through my head
The light turns into a darkening red
And it's been a long time since I've felt this way
Holding the thoughts in my hand
Hoping that they don't turn to sand
They're true, all the things I said to you
(Chorus)
And tonight I think I'll go to sleep
Before the thoughts of you drift away from me
And the silence brings me to my knees
And I sit there thinking hopelessly
(Outro)
And this song's for you
Yeah this song is for the songs I wrote about you
And I'm telling them
Just to let her go

Sixty Six Days
06:26
|
|||
(Verse 1)
From day one
She felt more free than she had really become
She was told to open her eyes
To find someone nice
(Verse 2)
Ripped and skipped
Was how she felt on day four
When she wasn't picked
And she opened her eyes
To look for a new life
(Chorus)
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
(Verse 3)
Eighteen days up
She learned her diploma wouldn't make the cut
And she looked through those eyes
For a guiding light
To lead her to a new life
(Verse 4)
By thirty days
She began to lose most of her faith
She though about her fate
Where did she belong
All along?
(Chorus)
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay
Up and up there she goes
Too far from her home
Up and up and up and away
Who ever said she had to stay?
(Verse 5)
Seven more days
There was no more food for her to make
Why didn't she use her eyes
To find a new life?
(Verse 6)
A new daybreak
She was determined to go the right way
She found someone nice
She used her eyes
(Chorus)
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
Gone and gone but coming back
Giving herself some slack
Back on Earth from the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
(Verse 7)
But on day sixty six
She was standing on a corner on fifth
And she closed her eyes
And the sirens cried
As they gave her a ride
(Chorus)
'Cus in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
Up and up there she goes
Too far from her home
Up there feeling all alone
Why did she have to go?

Reflections
02:21
|
|||
I’ve made it here,
That seems clear to see,
But no one knows
What it’s done to me.
I’m thinking back on the good times.
Heaven help me now, ‘Cus I’m
Thinking back on the good times,
‘Fore I went to work,
Thinking back on the family.
Will they be unhurt?
And I’m thinking back on the good days
When we all played in the dirt,
Thinking back on the good days,
Living, letting learn, thinking back to
When we were afraid to
Live in our own shoes, thinking back to
When we found a right to
Light up the dark of the moon.
I made it here,
That seems clear to see.

Skylines
04:07
|
|||
(Chorus)
This skyline’s giving me some more dreams and
Time to think about everything,
Light to shine in my darkened eyes and
Help me see to the other side, yeah
My life will be too short to see
How much it means to me.
(Verse 1)
Leave your shoes and fill
Mine. I’m done and leaving her this time
‘Cus I don’t see how much she means to me.
(Verse 2)
And I walk out everyday thinking about
Bad choices I’ve made, but the
Truth is they don’t matter anymore.
Sit with me and look at this
(Chorus)
Skyline giving us some more dreams and
Time to contemplate everything,
Light to shine in my darkened eyes, but
Still some shade under which we hide, yeah
My life will be too short to see
How much it means to me.
(Verse 3)
The view out the hallway window is
So much more than words can show and
Maybe those times have gone away, but I’m
Still thinking ‘bout ‘em in Monterrey, yeah
My life is far too great to see,
How much it means to me.
(Verse 4)
Reflecting on the things that I’ve come to believe,
Seeming not so much to me, yeah
This life is far too great to see
All the things that it brings.
(Bridge)
Bring me back to the
Skylines that changed my life and
Helped me see the other side and
Let me let my soul unleash and
Hopefully I let you see the
Skylines that changed my eyes and
Had no shade where I could hide from the truth
That’s far too great to see, so
Come on sit with me and look at these skylines.

Blueshift
04:08
|

(Verse 1)
Why is it always me?
There’s no use in memories
And I hope, hope you see the light of day.
Sold into the other lies so
Come back from the other side and
Give me back who you used to be.
(Chorus)
Give me back everyone I loved before.
I can’t bear to watch them anymore
Go and steal them back
From whoever holds my pity.
I can't take it anymore.
(Verse 2)
Why is it only you?
I want to feel their pity too, but
No one gives a damn about our worlds
Sold to the other lies so
Come step back into the light and
Give me back everything you used to be.
(Chorus)
Give me back everyone I loved before.
I can’t bear to watch anymore
Go and steal them back
From whoever holds my pity.
I can't take it anymore.
(Chorus)
Give me back everyone I loved before.
I can’t bear to watch them anymore
Go and steal them back
From whoever holds my pity.
I can't take it anymore.
(Outro)
I can’t take it anymore!
Can't watch them suffer anymore!
Can't stand the pity anymore!
Can't break it even anymore!

Execution
05:25
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Help me, I've fallen in too deep.
I don't know where this rabbit hole leads.
If I go to wonderland so be it,
But save the lies for the hypocrites.
The world is against me, yes I know.
I'm not paranoid, it's not for show.
I'm existential, take it slow
'Cus I don't live for you anymore.
(Verse 2)
Help me, I've gotten out of line.
What was it that I did this time?
I try to look but I cannot find
Any reason and no rhyme.
(Chorus)
It's execution, don't you know?
I try to see but there's nothing to show,
I try to learn but there's nothing to know
'Cus no one controls me no more.
I try to fight when there's nothing to win,
But I can't give up even though I'm pinned
And I can't explain if it's bad or good,
But no one will bring me down like you could.
(Verse 3)
The freedom of my mind
Is something only justice defines.
I set out on a mission to find
Some new meaning in my life
And not yours, just ignore
The wreckage galore
And think about how I felt before
And cry about who I love even more
And hope to be with me once more.
(Chorus)
It's execution, don't you know?
I try to see but there's nothing to show,
I try to learn but there's nothing to know
'Cus no one controls me no more.
I try to fight when there's nothing to win,
But I can't give up even though I'm pinned
And I can't explain if it's bad or good.
But nothing will bring me down like you could.
(Bridge)
If it's not your fault, it's mine,
But look at what's left behind so
Tell me what to make of this,
Don't let me fall into abyss.
Lock me up or tie me down,
I'll die before I hit the ground.
I will struggle to believe
But I will not let this conquer me!
(Chorus)
It's execution, don't you know?
I try to see but there's nothing to show,
I try to learn but there's nothing to know
'Cus no one controls me no more.
I try to fight when there's nothing to win,
But I can't give up even though I'm pinned
And I can't explain if it's bad or good,
But no one will bring me down like you could.

Guiding Lights
04:22
|
|||
(Intro)
There’s nothing left to breathe, it’s all trapped inside
And there’s nothing left to say, the words all left that night
And there’s nothing left to see, the light’s gone out of sight
And there’s nothing left to do, because the
Time has slipped away in spite of truth.
(Verse 1)
It rises from the heart with jealousy and pride,
Hopefulness yet fear that blissfully collide
And I’ve joined hands but set them alight
And watched the colors burning high into the night.
(Chorus 1)
Well it comes to me then that every
Moment we’ve spent is just a
Capsule of time not locked
Away in my mind.
How I long for the past,
The dreams I want to pursue.
Can someone help me find my guiding light to you?
(Verse 2)
So take my hand, we can walk together now,
See what we may find, and sail across our sound
Through the lands that break from the light,
The valleys and the peaks beyond our sight.
(Chorus 2)
And it comes to me then that every
Moment we spend is just a
Piece of my mind I haven’t
Gotten behind.
Now I long for the past,
The dreams I’ve tried to pursue.
I’m still searching for my guiding light to you.
(Chorus 3)
And it comes to me then,
Take every moment we spend
In a capsule of time, with you
Away in my mind.
I remember the past, but in a
Future with you
And now I've found my guiding light.
