All We Are 04:55
ALL WE ARE On a dark cold night, I have come to trap the light I’m the concave on the straight and narrow road that you have taken I’m the water in your lungs, I’m the noose that you have strung So go on take the plunge and I will be the bones that you are breaking I am those bitter pills, I am every drunken swill that slowly poisons you And clouds your mind enough that you’ll be taken I am your birth right, I am coming in the night You can run but there’s no damn way that you will be escaping So I’m your ebb and flow, you’re a shark moving towards shore I’ll fill the harbour from the bottom to the top and let it storm And then when I justify and sacrifice my pawns tonight And leave a daughter in the water I’ll write a song to make it right So now everybody sing oh oh oh…… And now everybody sing oh oh oh…. (2x) I will let go with every broken note I am your harmony in me you will find hope All we are is a million tiny burnt out superstars All we are is the sound of an allegory from afar On a dark cold night I have come to trap the light I’m the concave on the straight and narrow road that you have taken I am your birthright I am coming in the night you can run but there’s no damn way that you will be escaping I will let go with every broken note I am your harmony in me you will find hope

The Captain Surely Drowns I am not your mystery, I am but your history And I believe in living deep below my underground I will not desensitize, I will make you realize All the things worth losing are the things that wont be found Hey there boy did you really want someone to drag you down Because I will drag you down Hey there girl did you really want someone to pick you up Because I wont be around Go now love, remember me Because I will not make history But my bones will tell stories for all time Oh my darling Clementine you don’t need this love of mine You wont be lost forever deep below my underground Because I will sail this merchant ship and run aground in spite of it And I’ll be lost forever when the captain surely drowns Hey there boy did you really want someone to drag you down Because I will drag you down Hey there girl did you really want someone to pick you up Because I wont be around Go now love, remember me Because I will not make history But my bones will tell stories for all time (2x) So go on and row your boat, but may you never find the shore That my dead eyes may gaze on your boats body and broken oars Your silhouette in stars and a song of Irish lore With water in my lungs and my knees on the ocean floor

Devil Eyes 03:25
Devil Eyes I feel like I’ll lose my mind Round the corner devil eyes burning through the hazy skies I wont let them settle on me So bottoms up or medicate I wont live a life of hate I wont let it settle on me And when I see the city sky is burning down burning down I wont waste no water on you And when I see the city sky is burning down burning down I wont waste no water on you I feel like I’ll lose my mind We are in between a day dream and the real thing The road ahead is long the city sky is caving So run my love it’s going to blow and I will let you know These eyes are everywhere and they just wont let it show I’ll scream that I don’t care that this just isn’t fair But damn I’m going to lose it these eyes are everywhere I feel like I’ll lose my mind In the closet skeletons coming for my flesh again I wont let them catch up to me Past or present I don’t care I will leave them all right there I wont let them catch up to me When I see the city is all drowning love lakes of blood I wont let it catch up to me When I see the city is all drowning love lakes of blood I wont let it catch up to me Got to run run or let it go because I will let you know No one around will be around by this time tomorrow And I will let you know if you don’t let it go No one around will be around by this time tomorrow I feel like I’ll lose my mind We are in between a day dream and the real thing The road ahead is long the city sky is caving So run my love it’s going to blow and I will let you know These eyes are everywhere and they just wont let it show I’ll scream that I don’t care that this just isn’t fair But damn I’m going to lose it these eyes are everywhere We’re losing sunlight come on man let it go Wait for sunrise this city’s going to blow BABBLE We are in between a day dream and the real thing The road ahead is long the city sky is caving So run my love it’s going to blow and I will let you know These eyes are everywhere and they just wont let it show I’ll scream that I don’t care that this just isn’t fair But damn I’m going to lose it these eyes are everywhere I feel like I’ll lose my mind
