Drowning in the fear
Is my privilege
Rising from the ashes
The longest fire
My life
You’re still drowning in
In the waters
Which lay stagnant and
You can’t get out
Don’t try
While I fight For my life
But I can’t stop now
The best is yet to come
Don’t forget
You can’t stop now
Home is where the heart is
I wanna drift away from the shore
Till I can’t see the land anymore
So many miles under my feet
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
I hear the words whisper in my ear
Keep moving forward, don’t stop here
Day by day
I crave the lay of the land
Out on the road
It’s time
It's time to come home
Home is where the heart is
I wanna drift away from the shore
Till I can’t see the land anymore
So many miles under my feet
Home is where the heart is
I wanna drift away from the shore
Till I can’t see the land anymore
So many miles under my feet
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is

Sissy's Lovers

Friday night we are up all night
I don't think she'll be alright
She's not what you think she's like
Trying to hide the devil from your eyes
The next thing you know, it's 8am
Everyone here, speaking in whispers
Something's not right with all my friends
Hiding in shadows, our skin is changing colors
See things aren't the way they seem
False dreams you once had of me
I can't seem to find the light
I can't find my way home at night
The next thing you know, it's 8am
Everyone here, speaking in whispers
Something's not right with all my friends
Hiding in shadows, our skin is changing colors
The next thing you know, it's 8am
Everyone here, speaking in whispers
Something's not right with all my friends
Hiding in shadows, our skin is changing colors

When Night Falls
04:57

The days are long
And the nights are restless
So long old friends
I can no longer fix this
I haven’t had a dream
Like this in such a long time
Been trying to save the world
Between my vodka sodas and lime
And I don’t think I can save this world
from this darkness
(And I)
I don’t think I can save you
From your wretched gloom and doom
(And I)
I don’t think we can hide
From this emptiness
(Because)
When I sleep
It’s like a dream come true

Watering Hole

I'm just new here
Just having a drink here
But I've been hanging 'round
Watching every game in town
And whose dealing in
What ifs and maybes
And a whole lot of been theres and I walked away
No one is saving
There's a genius at the bar
Bearing battle wounds and scars
And growing thin
A good woman can't save you
A good man won't fight
When you're sliding off your bar stool
And you head out in the night
A good woman can't save you
A good man won't fight
And it's rainy and it's cold
Is Portland feeling old to you tonight
And it's rainy and it's cold
Is Portland feeling old to you tonight
And the bar tab tells the tale
Make the most of what's not happening
Pretending not to fail
And this break in time is growing long
And your narrative in the storyline
Is barely holding on
A good woman can't save you
A good man won't fight
When you're sliding off your bar stool
And you head out in the night
A good woman can't save you
A good man won't fight
And it's rainy and it's cold
Is Portland feeling old to you tonight
And it's rainy and it's cold
Is Portland feeling old to you tonight
And it's rainy and it's cold
Is Portland feeling old to you tonight

The Sun

I wish I was the sun
I’d travel ‘round the world
I wish I could become,
Something really strong,
I wouldn’t need no one
I wish I had a son
Counting backwards from one
He wished he had a gun
He’d shoot up the world, but then he shot his own
I wish I was the sun, I travel ‘round the world in one day
And when I was tired, I’d go home and sleep in my bed
I wish I could become, Something really strong
And when I got old, I wouldn’t need no one
I wish I had a song, I’d teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony, growing apple trees
He wished he had a gun, he’d shoot up the world
But then he got tired and he shot his own
I wish I was still fun a smile on my face, bubbly and young
I wish I had a gun, I’d shoot myself in the head,
and then I’d wake up from the dead
I wish I could become, one with the dead, and fill their stories in my head
I wish I was the sun, I travel ‘round the world in one day
And when I was tired, I’d go home and sleep in my bed
I wish I could become, Something really strong
And when I got old, I wouldn’t need no one
I wish I had a song, I’d teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony, growing apple trees
He wished he had a gun, he’d shoot up the world
But then he got tired and he shot his own

Rebellion

They say we’re so rebellious
We’re gonna break some day
I say it’s codependence, Let’s break away
You say it’s independence, when are you, gonna break away
You say it’s rebellious, It’s codependence, I’m gonna break away
You say it’s independence, I’m so dependent, on what you say
You say I’m so dependent, I’m codependent on what you say
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout me and you
Maybe we can just chill tonight
I’ve been waiting for me and you
I’ve been waiting ‘til it feels alright
They say it’s a Rebellion, we’re like hellions, we’re here to stay
They say it’s a Rebellion, we’re fuckin’ hellions, we’re not going away
They say it’s a Rebellion, we’re like hellions, we’re here to stay
They say it’s a Rebellion, we’re fuckin’ hellions, we’re not going away
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout me and you,
Can we just chill tonight
I’ve been waiting for me and you,
I’ve been waiting ‘til it feels alright
They say it’s a Rebellion, we’re like hellions, we’re here to stay
They say it’s a Rebellion, we’re fuckin’ hellions, we’re not going away
They say it’s a Rebellion, we’re like hellions, we’re here to stay
They say it’s a Rebellion, we’re fuckin’ hellions, we’re not going away

This Rapture
03:59
|

I'm tired of your politics and drugs
I know everything
About being hungover
I wish I knew more about something else)
I'm tired of your politics and drugs
I can't help you now
I can't take the blame
I can barely keep my shirt on
Shit straight
Straight face
I started this game
I started this rapture
You see I started this torture
And my stomach turns when I say your name
Paralyzed I’m frozen in shame
I started this game
I’m tired of your politics and drugs
I can't help you now
I can't take the blame
I can barely keep my shirt on
Shit straight
Straight face
I started this game
Mirrors and projectors
I can't even remember all their names
Let alone faces and places
I got on an airplane
And I, I changed my name
I changed my hair
But the game is still the same
I can't help you now
I can't take the blame
I can barely keep my shirt on
I bought a new skirt
I started this game
I can't help you now
I can't take the blame
I can barely keep my shirt on
Shit straight
Straight face
I started this game

R.I.P

RocknRoll, I came here to die
To eek the last bit of juice
To let it ring free, once and for all
To let this dream rest in peace
RocknRoll R-I-P
I got here late
Death all around me
Everything had died
Story of my life
RocknRoll is dead
And so am I
Here I leave my RocknRoll soul
In glitter and gold
I no longer hold
you can have every last bit
every color of my dream
R-I-P RocknRoll
Rest in Peace where you were once born
I don't care what they say
Or what you say
RocknRoll is dead
And so am I
Here I leave my RocknRoll soul
In glitter and gold
I no longer hold
you can have every last bit
every color of my dream
Here I lay my RocknRoll heart
in this giant graveyard
Where it was once born
The writing has been written on the wall
The writing has been written on the wall
RocknRoll, I came here to die
To eek the last bit of juice
To let it ring free once and for all
To let this dream rest in peace
Here I leave my RocknRoll soul
In glitter and gold
I no longer hold
you can have every last bit
every color of my dream
Here I lay my RocknRoll heart
in this giant graveyard where it was once born
Full circle and back
Back to square one
