It came and went Without a second glance Hitching on the roadside Looking for a path That just made sense I could never figure out The ways around Untimely circumstance Even if we caught a ride We'd end up in the same Place we began Cause its Filling up my soul (He's not done yet) Filling up my soul with holes The front row's saved For you to watch me spill out on the center stage floor My last shred of decency Was faltered by my pride The only place that I find peace is Where you broke me and put My feet to the fire I'll never leave here And I'm hoping that you've Got me dead to rights Its ok to feed desire. I just couldn't wait to see Your face when i rose From the dive There wasn't much oxygen So I did what I did to survive How could you ever leave me now? I need you around Be my legs as i stand for a fight I guess I'm just hoping Your reasons for Keeping me breathing Weren't lost with the season And I wasn't fleeced by a lie I've been patching up my soul (He ain't dead yet? ) Patching up the holes they're sown The trap doors set For you To watch me fall right through The center stage floor Watching headlights gaining At the rest stop You left me waiting Where'd you go? Watching tail lights fading In the rest stop I've been waiting Where'd you go?

Metal tearing in and out of muscle constellations Under constant patrol Bomber sights dialing in Cratering grounds That we were digging ourselves in And part of me lost all sense From turning it off and on And off again The cost to leave is a mint But it's worth paying it So I'm paying it I'm paying it We're better off sowing up Pieces of ourselves, Frail and old And god said "Hopefully You believed In the lies That you've been told" I seek only relief From life I seek holy release. Diving in and out of foxholes It's all the same to us We've been here before Stepping on the bodies of friends Trying to find the source. Where the rain of lead begins Was shot in the face Trying to cross the line And back Again The cost for me is a sin And it's worth paying it So he pays for it. We're better off sowing up Pieces of ourselves, Frail and old And god said "Hopefully You believed In the lies That you've been told" I seek only relief From life I seek holy release We were buried too far down To concentrate the ground Their prayers were just muffled sound Yeah, we were buried too far down Buried too far down

Fading in and out now I'm constantly caught up In everybody's self doubt I'm drawn in, they call my name Treat me like I'm torn down Lost souls in wooden frames Build me into something else Watch them shift the blame Phase me out Break me in Treat me anyway that you see fit Cause I'm a little late And I shouldn't keep you waiting I shouldn't keep you waiting... But I'm freezing up now I'm caught in the onslaught of Changing into someone else Forced choice of love or shame Breathing hard I can't come down Caustic and full of pain Gutted like a scorched house Flames quenched in the rain Phase me out Break me in Treat me anyway that you see fit Cause I'm a little late And I shouldn't keep you waiting Fix me up and break me down again As many times as you want Cause I'm a lost cause baby And I wouldn't wanna lead you on Fill me up Drink me in Pour me back up to the brim Draw my face Paint me out You've been waiting for this For hours now I belong in pieces

There's an old hope Deep inside my stomach It's been holding out for the chance That I've been waiting Ready, set, mark. And I know I know If I could get past it I would last here, But I'm not looking to cross My heart. I'll still hold On to anything That you can't Take away from me I'd trade my own soul for a drink But if so weak How am I keeping My body upright? You came to see if I was Still passive But I wasnt willing to call it off yet So I tried to play it off Like I'd recovered I clinch my teeth I'm too tense to save us anyhow They see more than I can see so I guess calling it off for now I'll still hold On to anything That you can't Take away from me I never meant to come across As stubborn, But if you're still here Then you outta be used to that By now. You've been more than I could be And really I I just wanna sleep til the sun goes down I'll still hold On to anything That you can't Take away from me

Busy Signal 04:24
Til its empty I tell the man Behind the bar And he fills my glass again I float on Tell the river ends And the ocean begins I fall asleep all alone On the promenade I lost my job and my car So I had to walk And I stumble home To dial the numbers in But it's busy instead I call every single night of the week It's fine, I just make part of my routine I, I try to believe I call every single night of the week It's fine, I just make part of my routine I, I try to believe That you'll be calling back For me Same old story I tell my friends I kinda lost it a few months back I guess But I never loved any other man Say I'm crazy I could give shit I tried to find him at the dive Where he usually sits Then I drove home To dial the numbers in... But it's busy again If you're calling, and I'm calling You must have felt, If I'm lost and your lost we could find ourselves I couldn't let it end
