inner demons
02:56

took time to find you
it's time I tried to
couldn't define you
like I'd been lied to
all you ever wanted was to lead and be strong
but when the plan's put into action the results come out wrong
just another ending to a beautiful day
there's a devil on my shoulder wishing worries away
all you ever needed was to be a disease
& when I look into your eyes I get weak in the knees
I'm in my feelings, watching TV
my inner demons whisper sweet dreams
never meant much once you end up back home
you have no guts and you have no backbone at all
took time to find you
it's time I tried to
couldn't define you
like I'd been lied to
all you ever wanted was to lead and be strong
but when the plan's put into action the results come out wrong
took time to find you
it's time I tried to
couldn't define you
like I'd been lied to
all you ever needed was to be a disease
& when I look into your eyes I get weak in the knees

sympathy

all stressed out, see it in my face
everything's got to be replaced
i don't know what to do
i'll stick around with you
workin' hard on a memory
all my friends and enemies
they don't know what to say
it's just another day
what are we gonna do about it, now?
when it all comes falling down
and there's people all around
and they look at you and say
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

lifelines / landlines
02:02
|

here's hoping we hold steady when the sea gets rough
at times it's hard to be enough
I'm always pushing on my luck
you're hoping that I can be any help at all
I'm always pushing on my luck when the goin's getting tough but
you grit your teeth and then you button up your coat
& I will do my very best to try and keep us both afloat
there's been attempts of keeping me out of the know
and the soggy windy weather did a number on my soul
lifelines aren't landlines when there is no telephone
so come with me my darlin, both your hands upon the rope
and I will try to get us home
you're resting easy there's no reason for concern
yet time and time again this is the lesson you must learn
trials by fire that were easily subdued
we watched the horizon turn to shades of purple blue
certain circumstances start to feel like good news
like a visit from an old friend or the fading of a bruise
after the day passed I wished it were mine
having spent all excess energy pretending I was fine
lifelines aren't landlines when there is no telephone
so come with me my darling both your hands upon the rope
& I will try to get us home
oh I must try to get you home

empty words
02:05
|

say you don't care
but I'm in despair
so say what you need
make me believe
say what you love
can you say it's enough?
say your concerns
say your empty words
