will you save enough
memories that won’t fade away
you’re just fourteen years old
with nothing to show off
but since you’re the admirer
of this shotgun in his mouth
why don’t you pull the trigger
yourself
before you start losing
way, way too much
before you start losing
way, way too much
will you spend enough
time on his monument
you’re just a dying boy
with a few songs to hold onto
before you start losing
way, way too much
before you start losing
way, way too much
before you start losing
way, way too much
before you start losing
way, way too much

it will pass

i can’t stop thinking about you
but it will pass,
yeah, it will pass
i can’t stop thinking about you
but it will pass,
yeah, it will pass
i feel you’re so close to me
even if you’re not alone
miles away from my body
lost and found in your library
wish we could have stayed the same
with these words we kept for us
what we formed was the very best
of old books when they came to rest
see what you have done to me
with all the pages that you stained
come and read me
come and read me
see what you have done to me
with all the beauty that you spread
come and get me
come and get me
i can’t stop thinking about you
but it will pass,
yeah, it will pass
i can’t stop writing about you
but it will pass,
yeah, it will pass

rusty
06:50
|

my heart is nothing more
than a rusty box
filled with photographs that ache
at every mistake
nothing more than that
my faith is a trap
nothing else makes me this frail
will i ever see you fail
nothing else will stay
but a rusty box
no one else survives
the shades in your eyes
i believe there’s no solace
for those born without your grace
my face is nothing more
than a barren land
cursed by your ghost who can’t leave
when i’m still deceived
no one else to blame
your love was a fake
nothing more than that, baby
will i ever see your shame
where did you take it away
yeah, where did you take it away
oh, where did you take it away
where did you take it away
why did you take it away
this air i was meant to breathe
oh, why did you take it away
this dream i was meant to live
no, there’s nothing,
nothing i want
wanna keep from you
there’s nothing
but a rusty,
rusty box
no, there’s nothing,
nothing i want
wanna keep from you
there’s nothing,
nothing but a
rusty box

oh, rosalyn
i suppose
that you will
break me too
yet, i believe
in everything you say
anytime you come around
with your voice
sweet tender voice
so how to show my love
every day if you only think that
everything i do is just what you deserve
and how to serve you well
if i can’t see that you do not
take me for granted in your life
all the time
you’re so used to being adored
even if you doubt more than once
but i’m not blinded by your beauty
i still think you should do something for my own good
you’re so used to best offers
but i never got the same luck
if you choose me, now you must assume
i still think you should do something for my own good
oh, rosalyn
i suppose
that you will
break me too
yet, i believe
in everything you say
anytime you come around
with your voice
sweet tender voice
so how to show my love
every day if you only think that
everything i do is just what you deserve
and how to serve you well
if i can’t see that you do not
take me for granted in your life
all the time
you’re so used to being excused
even if you act cowardly
but i’m not blinded by your beauty
i still think you should do something for both of us
you’re so used to being the last to choose
that you barely see what i want
if you love me,
you must assume
oh, rosalyn
i suppose
that you will
leave me too
yet, i believe
in every move we make
anytime we lose control
and rejoice
for what is now
but how to show our love
every day if we only think that
everything we do is what we both deserve
and how to serve you well
if i can’t see that you do not
take me for granted in your life
all the time
yet, i believe in
every move we make
yet, i believe in
everything you say
yet, i believe in…

love, love, love, love
never calls me by my name
love, love, love, love
never calls me by my name
you say you will be there
but this song, it says it all for me
this song, it says it all
this song, it says it all for me
love, love, love, love
never calls me by my name
love, love, love, love
never calls me by my name

all your silences
03:14
|

would you say my name
if i couldn’t bring
this love back to us
with a single touch
or a simple word
would you feel the same, my dear
if i couldn’t call
these hands that would cure
what once was so pure
when you’re not so sure
i just wanna leave
when you leave me with
all your silences
the weight of your grief
yeah, i still believe
it hurts anyway
but what you would say
is no burden to me
this would help to know
where you wanna go
when your eyes, they show many things
like how i’m not wanted here anymore
now
i just wanna live
when you calm me with
all your promises
the sound of your dreams
yet, i still believe
it hurts anyway
but what you would say
is no burden to me
this would help to know
where you wanna go
when your eyes, they show many things
like how i’m not wanted here anymore
now

lost in the city lights
05:43
|

you said i was teasing you
but you have made me wait so long
before i got a sign or two
before we knew where we belong
you say you might go back
to where you can’t be hurt
lost in the city lights
feeling so pure among the dirt
you guess it wouldn’t be too bad
to cut the dark right now
cause i’m here to let you see, always here
just why this night is meant to be
you say you won’t come back
if there’s no hope to get some work
but i could pay for both of us
if you’re ok to stay with me
you said i was teasing you
but you have made me write a song
before i got a kiss or two
before you made my love so strong

these hands i care for
03:11

these are the hands i care for
these are the hands that you wore
these are the hands
the hands i cared for
these are the hands
the hands of a whore
now that
they touch
someone, someone else
i hate
these hands
these hands of yours

rise
05:45

my, my, my,
my baby cuts like knives
bright shards of glass
but will you forgive me
this bloody lack of pride
i just thought i would rise
with her love
my, my, my,
my baby cuts like knives
bright and sharp eyes
but will you forgive me
this bloody lack of sight
i just thought i would die
but my angel just arrived
my angel just arrived
my angel just arrived
my angel just arrived
i, i, i,
i won’t bleed til i’m dry
no, not this time
i, i, i,
i won’t bleed til i’m dry
no, not this time
