Yeah I have this tattoo, to remind me that you’re dead.
And you had a tattoo, replacing nightmares in your head.
I can’t say that I even really began to miss you.
Until I got caught up in the same path and abuse.
But I still grow
And I still grow
Why do I still let it go?
And you, you’re buried next to your mother
Replacing the resting place for your absentee father
But I have a tattoo, to remind me the world is over in an instant
Do you still have that tattoo, of trees as dead as winter?
You said they felt just like you
Yeah I can honestly say I could miss you
You wanted to escape and running never helped
Riddle with your brother’s suicide and prescribed guilt
But I still grow
And I still grow
Will I go,
Where will you go?
You have a tattoo to terrorize your head
I have a tattoo to remind me you were dead
I have a tattoo, I had a tattoo, I had a tattoo
Does your hair still grow?
Does your mother know?
Does your hair still grow?

Devil in Blue

She said take me home,
Meant the bar lights we used to know.
But she said doesn't know,
You don't know anything,
You know too much about everything.
She cried that the devil dressed in blue
And I don't need you,
I don't need you.
Yeah I don't, I don't need you
Yeah but,
Those green eyes they weep of envy
Of everyone else who has someone else to see.
Darling you broke your own will.
I hope you get your whiskey's fill.
Alright, to that devil that dressed in blue,
You would cry every night if you knew that I didn't need you.
I don't need you, yeah I don't
From the heartbreaks to the bar signs
To the floor of my friends apartment.
I've been sleeping too much to think about anything.
It still feels like something out there is missing.
Then I realized that the devil dresses the devil dresses blue.
Says I don't need you, I don't need you.
So, to that devil I don't need you,
I don't need you. I don't need you anymore.
Yeah but,
Those green eyes they weep of envy
Of everyone else who has someone else to see.
Darling you broke your own will.
I hope you get your whiskey's fill.
Alright, to that devil that dressed in blue,
You would cry every night if you knew that I didn't need you.
I don't need you, yeah I don't
So go drown yourself
I drown myself too
Cause I don't need you,
Yeah, I don't need you.
I'm a sailor myself and I can do it myself

My Ship Will...
02:19

I could hear the sea,
Through your eyes like ecstasy,
But I plead oh my god oh my god.
Does my ship sinks.
You're body was found underneath sunrise's canopy.
You were
You're body was found underneath sunrise's canopy.
You were so smitten with ecstasy
Making love at a quarter past three.
Who knew a few hours later
I'd be traveling through midwestern states to my mates apartment.

I know you’re broken you keep breaking down
Lack of my attention just like I’m not around
What if we were focusing on a sympathetic sound
Never breaking new ground
You are always breaking down
I am all but forgetting all the rules of affection losing your attention
A halfway house to that room that where we felt renewed
But I’m Always. I’m always coming down
Had a small heart keep dragging it around
Call it a lost art I've been composing my self doubt
I know it's been hard but what if we were profound.
Never breaking new ground
You are always breaking down
I am all but forgetting all the rules of affection losing your attention
A halfway house to a room that where we felt renewed
But I’m alway... I’m always coming down
i’m alway... I’m always coming down
Blame yourself or blame me
Yeah, blame my insecurities
It’s a shame that that happened
Is it happening again?
Is it happening my friend?
What if we were
What if we were
What if we were breaking down
Blame myself
I'll blame myself
I'll Blame
Myself, myself, myself, myself, myself
I know that you’re broken you keep breaking down
Lack of my attention like I’m not around
Never breaking never breaking your new ground
But what happened to viability

Do you, do you fall asleep?
Still dream of pretty things
Or is it the demise of you and me
I know, you've been up all night
And maybe we'll be all right
Just breathe deep without a sigh
Is it, is it getting old or are we growing up?
Just a memory of what could have been
Way back then
I know, you've been up all night
And maybe we'll be all right
Just breathe, without a sigh
Wake up, do you know where you are?
Wake up...
Do you know where you are?
Wake on to where you are.
Do you, do you fall asleep?
Still dream of pretty things
Or is it the demise of you and me
I know, you've been up all night
And maybe you'll be all right
Just breathe, without a sigh

Welcome home, are you listening?
A place to pine for everlasting.
Help me, help keep me from singing.
I now see you so clearly
Another one, and then another
Another word, and then another key
Mistake place blame mistakes
Mistake place blame my miss takes
Patterned blanket, so comforting.
Are you awaiting or are you sleeping
It the infinite palate it's still waiting
For what is possible, could possibly bring
Another one, another word
Another key, and then another
Mistake place blame mistakes
Mistake place blame my miss takes
Death may be, the one calling
Are you waiting, yeah are you waiting?
I’m still wishing, still waiting
Daylight is calling, are you answering?

After the show we’ll meet up in a basement
Of the Old Millstream Inn yeah i’m losing it again
Get some quiet and a drink laugh about the year we’ve been
The Christmas lights outside reminded me that I am home again
Take me back to the place where I fell in love you again
Riverside I’ll fall in line, underneath that moon light
All I know is I’m wasting time, hoping this'll come out right
It never really comes out, never really comes out right
Hey let’s grab a coffee or something
Talk about what the scales are missing
Spend some talking it all out
Like what is that nervous energy about
I’ll drive you home and we’ll sit quietly
Listen to the neighbor’s screaming
Laugh about the time we felt stranger's energy
You rest your head on my chest and drifted to sleep
Take me back to the place where I fell in love you again
Riverside I’ll fall in line, underneath that moon light
All I know is I’m wasting time, trying to make this come out right
...
Sing me a tune or two, yeah we'll cry out all night.
Hey Jude, and walk in that moon light.
Just take me home, I don’t wanna be out all night
Yeah man, cause I've got shit to write
I gotta get this song to sound right
So, hey let's grab a coffee or something right

I'm thinking maybe we can fuck the past and start over
Well, yes I am a little drunk, but be here for the hangover
You always made me coffee and I thought I'd try you first
But you'd better answer quick, cuz this chick's tugging at my shirt
I'm thinking maybe we can fuck the past and start over
Well, yes I am a little drunk, but be here for the hangover
You always made me coffee and I thought I'd try you first
But you'd better answer quick, cuz this chick's tugging at my
Woah, I know this is pathetic, but I simply cannot grasp it
Woah, is this illumination, or just the medication?
No, please don't hang up the phone
Please don't hang up.
Please don't hang up.
Please don't hang up,
please don't hang up,
please don't hang up,
Oh no
I'm thinking maybe we can fuck the past and start over
Well, yes I am a little drunk, but be here for the hangover
You always made me coffee and I thought I'd try you first
But you'd better answer quick, cuz this chick's tugging at my shirt
I'm getting to the point where I'm forgetting who you were.
I thought that I loved you; but at times I was never sure

The Ambience

I’ll be the obvious
I’ll paint you the stars
Backlit and ambiguous
Saying it’s all too far
But I’ll be the ambiance
The goodbye for you
Until death do us distance
I’ll fall in to my tomb
It’ll be obvious
It’ll be ambiance
Just take me away
Just take me away
The entrapped eyelid
Behind an hourglass
Cocaine white orchid
Time comes to pass
Take me away from here
Chemicals divided by light
So take me away from here
A dull star could shine bright
Just take me away
I’ll be the obvious
Just take me away
I’ll be your ambiance
Just take me away
Just take me away
Just take me
Just take me away
To wake the whole house up

I love you but I hate you
Which brings to mind how much I love you
We could have worked this out you know
In a little room, in a little locked room
I'm sorry you had to settle for Dave
The one dimensional man
He's filed under cocker sucker in my little black book
Sweetness can rot your teeth
Bittersweet can cough on me
But you hold the key, you hold the key
To my little locked room
You hold the key, you hold the key
To my little locked love
Please let me out soon
[I love you but I hate you
Which means how much I love you]
Please let me out soon

They say they don't know where you're headed
They say they don't know where your head is
So, you sleep alone most nights wondering if you were alive
Ask them...
Well, we make mistakes
We placed that blame
Yeah, we made mistakes
Where do you place the blame?
A car accident and your life falls away
Flipping through the wreckage you're invalidated
Past tense come to take all you want to know
I know, that you'll come home
You'll come yeah you'll come home
So won't you come home
Who cares if I sleep alone
Well I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Wake up there all alone,
Did you know that you were at home?

Waxing Moons

Once a waxing moon in the sky
Bleeding through my eyes tonight
Crumpled steel is quick just like cyanide
Just say you don’t want to die
Call a ghostwriter tell them that eager
To tell a story to reach out to a weary ear
Let me be your willow tree
Swaying free in the breeze
It’s ok just keep breathing
But it won’t, it won't stop bleeding
Just keep breathing
Martyr’s Mark is seething
Just keep breathing,
You’re the victim of your own true crime
Well, just keep holding on for me
Like a sunny day in winter you’re in tune
Enough for me to forget that it’s not June
Forgot my coat and about the weather
Forgot my phone so I won’t be able to answer
The call you made, that call you made to say
" yeah, he’s dead"
Call a ghostwriter tell them that eager
To tell a story to reach out to a weary ear
Let me be your willow tree
Swaying so free in the breeze
Yeah, I'll be that willow tree burning in the breeze
Once a waxing moon in the sky
Crumpled steel is quick just like cyanide
Just say you don’t want to die
It’s ok just keep breathing
But it won’t, it won't stop bleeding
Just keep breathing
Martyr’s Mark is seething
Just keep breathing,
You’re the victim of your own true crime
So let me be your willow tree
And I'll keep swaying free in the breeze
