EVIDENCE

As good as it was 

How quickly I forget

no one ever notices 

The evidence 

What a fucking mess

We find ourselves in 

If drowning was my first offense 

Well here I go again

Now you’re giving me up 

I’m hanging on 

You’re giving me up 

I’m hanging on 

As foolish as i was 

There’s something I regret

Leaving you cold as ice in Connecticut 

In the name of diligence

I found out where you went

Surrendered to the promise that 

I won’t be him again 

Now you’re giving me up 

I’m hanging on 

Please forgive me I’m not 

Not who I was 

Not who you loved 

As foolish as it was remember I wish you way more than luck

EVIDENCE

 

A MODERN LIFE

 

 Carried Away

look at where we find ourselves

what we have when all else fails us but

some get bored and some just cry

some try to leave the worst behind 

but I want to live

And get carried away with my friends

Cause we’re all in this 

waiting for the nightmare to end

But every single day

Gets easier to turn away

But every single day 

It’s easy to get carried away 

Carried away

I feel lost in time and space 

faked the smile that’s on my face now cause

some get bought and some get sold 

like Mr. Rogers bless his soul

We all want to resist 

Can i carry the weight of my friends?

We were once just kids 

waiting for our nightmares to end 

But every single day

Gets easier to turn away

But every single day 

It’s easy to get carried away 

Carried away

Want to be

To be carried away with my friends 

Want to be 

To be carried away with my friends 

Carried away with with my friends

But every single day

Gets easier to turn away

But every single day 

It’s easy to get carried away  


Dream Never Dies

Long ago taken roads

we don’t know on our own  

Lockin’ eyes late at night, butterflies

Hold me the rest of my life 

Tell me you feel it right?

Let this go, whats the use 

the more you know the more we lose 

what if I said to you, we’ll never be 

Now you know what its like

It’s not just me am I right

What happened to all the easy days of summer?

back when we were younger 

Dreaming through the thunder

Radio was blasting, heavens everlasting

If i could make it last and all I have to do is close my eyes

Hope the dream never dies

Hope the dream never dies 

Trying hard just to stay 

Safe guard yesterday 

Lost eyes, late at night tell me why 

stay here the rest of my life

promise me you’ll try

now we’re getting older what will we remember?

Morning drives in winter

The world we knew is over

radio still blasting, summer’s everlasting 

if I could bring you back 

and all I have to do is close my eyes

Hope the dream never dies 

Hope the dream never dies

Hope the dream never dies 

Hope the dream never dies

Hope we make it out alive

What happened to all the easy days of summer?

Back when we were younger 

Dreaming through the thunder

Radio still blasting, heavens everlasting

If i could make it last 

What happened to all the easy days of summer?

Back when we were younger 

Dreaming through the thunder

Radio still blasting, heavens everlasting

If I could bring you back and all I have to do is close my eyes 

Hope the dream never dies 

Hope the dream never dies 

Hope we make it out alive 

Expectations

This is bigger

Then the two of us

Little triggers

I keep feeling in my gut

Kept my eyes closed 

I was too afraid to see

Sometimes good friends

are gonna take what they want and just leave

When I was sixteen 

I had such big dreams

but I was born with let down

expectations 

Let it build up

Buried it deep inside 

New York highline

Was the last time that we felt alive

When I was sixteen 

I had such big dreams

but I was born with let down

expectations

It’s getting kinda hard 

It’s getting kinda hard 

not to blame myself 

For wanting something else

When I was sixteen 

I had such big dreams

but I was born with let down

expectations 

It’s getting kinda hard not to blame myself

Expectations 

It’s getting kinda hard not to blame myself  

Expectations 

It’s getting kinda hard not to blame myself  

Expectations 

It’s getting kinda hard not to blame myself 

Modern Life
I fall apart on the 405  

When I hear you in my head as the engine dies

You said in the dark will you recognize?

when the bright lights turn to red 

will you run and hide?

tell me you’re afraid yea you’re afraid like me?

I wanna disappear, but Im stuck on repeat

Do you ever get the feeling everybody’s leaving 

Just right when you need em

Oh my God I try 

to find a meaning, something to believe in

tell me am I dreaming?

Or is this modern life? 

I’m alone in the dead of night

As I read the words you said in the pale blue light

Now I know you can blame the times 

But when the bright lights turn to red

Will you recognize?

Do you know that you’re afraid, you’re afraid like me

But nothing ever changes when you’re stuck on repeat

Do you ever get the feeling everybody’s leaving 

Just right when you need em

Oh my God I try 

to find a meaning, something to believe in

tell me am I dreaming?

Or is this modern life?  

Why do I get the feeling everybody’s leaving 

Give me a meaning something to believe in 

tell me am I dreaming?

Or is this modern life? 

Or is this modern life?

Raincoats

Now it’s all gone way too far 

I don’t understand who we are 

Under raincoats

I don’t feel alone 

All the fairy tales we’ve bought

All my dreams lost in the dark 

Under raincoats 

I don’t feel alone 

Is there no better way 

Is there no way to save us?

Just take my hand 

No there’s always a chance 

Under raincoats 

I don’t feel alone 

Watch me as I run

Watch me as I run to the edge of this

Listen to my heart

Listen to my heart beat 

Is it too fast?

Am I too far?

Oh here I go again

Oh here I go again!

Listen to my heart

Listen to my heart beat 

Is it too fast?

Am I too far?

Oh here I go again

Oh here I go again!

Oh here we go again

Listen to my heart

Listen to my heart beat 

Is it too fast?

Am I too far?

I wanna go again

I wanna go again 

Listen to my heart

Listen to my heart beat 

Is it too fast?

Am I too far?

I wanna go again

I wanna go again 

Oh here we go again!

Oh here we go again!

Oh here we go again!

Oh here we go again!

Now here we are stuck right in the middle of it

Now here we are stuck right in the middle of it 

Now here we are stuck right in the middle of it 

Now here we are stuck right in the middle of it 

Now here we are stuck right in the middle of it 

Now here we are stuck right in the middle of it 

Now here we are stuck right in the middle of it 

Now here we are stuck right in the middle of it 

Digging Up The Dead

You said you’ve had enough for a while

But we keep ending up here in denial

The skeletons we hid in our past

Haunt us they won’t stop coming back

babe you should know 

i tried to let go

but ya keep

Digging up the dead

Digging up the dead

Digging up the dead in me

but ya keep

digging up the dead 

digging up the dead 

digging up the dead in me 

I hear the ringing of the cathedral bells

They’re singing while l’m losing myself

Dying here with all my beliefs

Laying crosses on the red winter leaves

I know what I know

I need to let go 

But I keep

Digging up the dead

Digging up the dead 

Digging up the dead in me

But I keep 

Digging up the dead

Digging up the dead

Digging up the dead in me

I want you to know 

I try to let go 

But it's building up inside of me 

Now I’m buried in it six feet deep

does that me weak?

Make me weak

make me weak 

Does that make me weak?

Digging up the dead 

Digging up the dead

digging up the dead in me

But ya keep 

digging up the dead 

digging up the dead 

digging up the dead in me

Does that make me weak?

Does it make me weak?

Make me weak 

Does it make me weak?

Make me weak 

Does it make me weak?

Does that make me weak

Does it make me weak?

Eyes On The Prize 

Fuck all your friends

They got no passion

What kind of icon 

Never drawn blood 

I thought you a legend

In your daddy’s car

Got found in the desert 

But lost your heart 

You’re trying but not too hard

Cause fighting’s just a lost art 

I still got my eyes on the prize 

I’d rather be dead 

Then stuck in the vacuum 

Where everyone’s so proud 

Of who they’re not

Don’t need a break 

I got what I got

So what if it’s nothing still taking my shot 

Fighting for a small part 

Failing with a big heart 

Still got my eyes on the prize

Every night I feel it coming 

Hunts me down but I keep running

Like a hurricane 

Rushing through my brain  

I’d rather be dead

Then live with no passion 

You’re trying but not too hard

Cause fightings just a lost art

Still got my 

Still got my 

Still got me eyes on the prize 

Every night I feel it coming 

Hunts me down but I keep 

Eyes on the prize 

Every night I feel it coming 

Hunts me down but I keep 

Eyes on the prize

Every night I feel it coming 

Hunts me down but I keep running

Stop 

You told me that you wanted 

something I couldn’t offer

the well is dry exhausted

now I don’t see the point in guessing 

I’m over here obsessing

Oh god it’s so depressing

One by one, fall back in line in sequence 

Communions save the demons

keeps everyone believing 

feels like, maybe you’ll never see it

the way I do it’s easy, we’re all looking for meaning 

so why do I 

give you all that I’ve got 

when all that I’ve got 

will never be enough

And in your eyes 

I see all that I’m not 

And all that I’ve lost will never be enough 

While I sank to the bottom

You sang him Dolly Parton

Don’t think that I’ve forgotten

what it felt like to be another 

thousand wounds left to suffer

Wonder how I’ll recover 

so why do I 

give you all that I’ve got 

when all that I’ve got 

will never be enough

And in your eyes 

I see all that I’m not 

And all that I’ve lost will never be enough 

For you, for us, oh God is it ever gonna stop?

For you, for us, oh God is it ever gonna stop?

Are you all getting

All getting what you came for?

Are you all getting 

All getting what you came for?

So why do I

Give you all that I’ve got 

When all that I’ve got will never be enough 

And in your eyes, I see all that I’m not 

And all that I’ve lost

Will never be enough

For you, for us, oh God is it ever gonna stop?

For you, for us, oh God is it ever gonna stop?

Ever gonna stop

For you, for us, oh God is it ever gonna stop?

For you, for us, oh God is it ever gonna stop?

 

 FOR ME IT’s YOU

Just when I felt like given up
That I shouldn’t try
To save it now

Easier lost outside of us 
That’s not what I find
This time around 

Every  night outside my window I pretend to catch the moon
It reminds me that there’s always something more for me to prove 
I’m just waiting for the moment when you tell me this is true 
I’m just waiting on a moment for you

To tell me how you feel
Always known for me it’s you 
So give me something real
Always known for me it’s you
It’s you 

Standing alone at 25
I barely recognize
My own blue eyes

I should’ve known, we’d make it right 
I’m coming back this time
to a different life 

where the lights outside my window flicker brighter than the moon
like a car chase in the valley baby its just me and you
where we’re living in the moment when you tell me that it’s true
now I’m right here in this moment with you

So tell me how you feel
Always known for me it’s you
Just give me something real
Always known for me it’s you

FOR ME IT’S YOU

 
 

LM1

 

 THIS IS IT

 Parallel love

Innocently vacant

On the edge of breaking

Shouldn’t keep me waiting

Yesterday’s drugs

Should never be taken

I fell into rotation

Surrendered mistaken

This is it

This is it now

This is it

I’d kill the hallowed cow

Holding on impatient

But nothing left is sacred

There’s no way to save this 

This is it!

This is it now!

This is it!

Put me out

Outta my cage

Outta my brain

Out in the sunshine

 

 

LOVELESS

Crosses in the distance, bells ring fast

Loveless in our shelter, time will pass

Would you take a chance on us?

Could you take a chance on us?

Call out to the lonely with regrets

Loveless is your answer, time will pass

Couldn’t take a chance on us 

Couldn’t take a chance on us 

Take my hand

In belief we trace our steps

Understand

No relief in silhouettes 

Battled myself so many times

What I was isn’t what I want now

We can seek denial and search for miles

Blessed love, the love I need

Rolling drums, the loveless bleed 

Take my hand

In belief we trace our steps

Understand

No relief in silhouettes 

 

The Right Thing

I sang

A song with no words

It sounded absurd

But it brought my numbers up

"Fair game"

Or whatever works

For better or worse

Who are you to be the judge?

Too late

What's done is done

It's only begun

No better time to hide your face

Clean break

I pray for the sun

C'mon c'mon

You know it's so

Hard to do the right thing

I can't do the right thing now

So hard to do the right thing

I can't do the right thing now

This takes

An army to play

There's no other way

How long can you can I face the blame

Save me

I knew all along

Now there's no one

I know it's so

Hard to do the right thing

I can't do the right thing now

So hard to do the right thing

I can't do the right thing now

So hard to do the right thing

I can't do the right thing now

Right thing now

All this time

Was I wrong is it gone forever?

All this time

So hard to do the right thing

I can't do the right thing now

So hard to do the right thing

I can't do the right thing now

THORNS

We walked through the fire

How did we ever survive this?

We tangled the wire

And hid behind what’s emptiness

But 

No one can love you

No one can love you the same

I’ll always want you 

I’ll always want you this way

We’ll learn to outgrow

The thorns on the rose

Thorns on the rose

Thorns on the rose

We tripped through time

But, we were only children then

So we couldn’t find

That we’d hold on beginning to end

Yea

No one can love you

No one can love you the same

I’ll always want you 

I’ll always want you this way

We’ll learn to outgrow

The thorns on the rose

Thorns on the rose

 

Tried To Make You My Own

Do what I have to do to get myself in
I know I never had a heart of gold
And now I'm crawling in and out of your skin
I only open doors that I can't close

I, I wanna learn you
All from the inside
So, you won't forget
Right, right when I burned you
I felt the last cry
There was nothing left

I tried to make you my own

Sometimes I feel that I am what I deserve
A hundred crimes, no way to pay them off
So when quiet fills the night and you hurt
Know I am sorry for all that you lost

I, I had to learn you
All from the inside
My deepest regret
Right, right when I burned you
I made the last cry
I'm all that is left

Tried to make you my own

My Money

Twisted through so deep
Everything you see is make believe
Castles in your sleep
You never seem to reach but in dreams

Day after day
Spiral out in doubt
I give, you take
This is not what it's about

Don't marry me for my money
I've got this love for you honey
It's baby blue
I'll carry you if you trust me
I know it's hard for you lately to take a view

Every stone you throw
I see through
I know what you mean
Silently and slow you catch every blow underneath

Day after day
Spiral out in doubt
I give, you take
This is not what it's about

Don't marry me for my money
I've got this love for you honey
It's baby blue
I'll carry you if you trust me
I know it's hard for you lately to take a view

I'm tied to this
Caught wrist to wrist
Tell me what, tell me what to do

Don't marry me for my money
I've got this love for you honey
It's baby blue
I'll carry you if you trust me
I know it's hard for you lately to take a view

Real Love

I used to follow my heart
But now I'm safe in the dark
You used to run to my arms
Oh how that's lost its charm

Now we're crawling on our bellies
With an army of ghosts
Of do's and don'ts
Is there something you should tell me?
In you I see…
I do, I don't, I do, I don't

'Cause when it's
Real
Real Love
You try to fix it but the damage is done
'Cause when it's
Real
Real Love
You try to fix it but it's never enough

Our faith purest island
Lost in the setting sun
Was perfect when it began
Was over when it begun

Now we're crawling on our bellies
With an army full of ghosts, of do's and don'ts
And when there's something you should tell me
In you I see…
I do, I don't, I do, I don't

'Cause when it's
Real
Real Love
You try to fix it but the damage is done
'Cause when it's
Real
Real Love
You try to fix it but it's never enough

Camouflage
Looking out, empty streets
Could've been forced to talk
Gather 'round, forced to leave
Could've been lost in stock

Never hear the sound
Never hear the sound

Why don't we call this what we know it is?
Why don't we call this what we know it is?
Put the ghost to bed

WONDERFUL LIFE 

Here we are

Here we are again my love at last

It’s not the first time

It’s not the last time

And will you know it’s me?

Will you rest with me?

You can tell now

It’s a wonderful life

Heavens will fall

When you’re back by my side

When you’re back by my side

It’s a Wonderful life

Heavens will fall

When you’re back by my side

Hand in hand

Every heart’s not made to last

Now I know

Staring at the moon

I’d pull it down to you

Will you know it’s me?

Will you notice me? 

You can tell now

It’s a wonderful life

Heavens will fall

When you’re back by my side

When you’re back by my side

It’s a Wonderful life

Heavens will fall

When you’re back by my side

Now I’ll never know

Is there one way out?

I’m already gone

Is it over this time?

When I’m back by your side

When I’m back by your side

With you back by my side

It’s a wonderful life

I’ll never know

I’ll never know

All In

Silver ridge bends in the dead of night
I can drive this street with my eyes closed
Count the windows just to see the light
Will I lose my mind if I let this go?

Now your love never lets me down
In my dreams, I've got my feet on the ground
And when we're lost in the lights downtown
You can look up
The stars always love you, and I'm all in

It was touch and go for the longest time
Inside you know I'm still confused
When you said there's nothing left to hide
If I beg borrow now we'll never lose

Now your love never lets me down
In my dreams, I've got my feet on the ground
And when we're lost in the lights downtown
You can look up
The stars always love you, and I'm all in

I'll never love again

Now your love never lets me down
In my dreams, I've got my feet on the ground
And when we're lost in the lights downtown
You can look up
When it's love
