Never Answer 02:57
lyrics
buy track
Who can you save? Who can you save? If you can’t save me I won’t let you in I’m not too brave I’m not too brave If it’s not for me I won’t let you in But it’s fading Just degrading I took and took You gave and gave If you can’t take me I won’t let you in

Silent Screaming 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Everyone beautiful a lover, never had never lost A companion never came an apparition a mirage If I speak up would they talk to me? I keep looking for a person that I know does not exist I’ve let people down I haven’t met and yet I still persist Yet I’m shy of all I’ve tried to gain Though I win the loser still remains Why can’t I drown into it Never found I knew it Stitches start to fray Pull away Day after Day In the end it may best to walk away to all the rest A potential never fulfilled only sadness only jest Stopped and stuttered all over again At a crossroads can I break the chain Can you smell me burning Will our world keep turning Pull it all apart Can we make a start To fill our hearts

Canned Food 03:21
lyrics
buy track
You never could believe In your own home The quiet box is All you’ll ever know Until you crave Then you can rave Stuck in your canned food Break the glass To make some noise Don’t leave at all That’s your choice Until you fade Can you be brave Open your canned food Stuck in your canned food

No Home For No One 02:12
lyrics
buy track
Suitcase is packed full in her hand She’s got to leave and knows you’ll understand Can’t believe She’s crying till the night is done You know she never wanted anyone Only you Forty dollars to her name Things will stay just the same Life of nothing can go on Every time you miss her call You wander the park alone Did you ever really have a home Not with she

Every Day 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Heaven sent her from above To show me all the ways of love But did they know that I lost everything Hard to say the words to you, It’s hard to do the things you do How do you put in words what I can sing That I’ll talk to you, walk with you every day From a word from a glance I wait I wait for the one chance To change the way you look at guys like me Hurts to see you with another man Don’t know if that’s part of any plan It seems so hard to change my mind Cause I’d walk with you, I’d talk to you every day After playing all the games You show me we’re just not the same There’s nothing more for you and me Guess I’ll live to fight another day Though I doubt I’ll ever hear you say The words that I’ve always longed to hear I can walk with you, I can talk to you every day

Who I Should Be 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Empty because I’m not who I said I’d be Empty because I’m not who I want to be And who can fill this pit? It’s just too easy to quit Filthy is what I need to fill my head Filthy is what I use to get ahead Just let me be unclean But I just can’t be mean But who am I supposed to be? I need somebody to tell me please Oh I change and try to appease But I just don’t know who I should be Should I be charming and sweet? Until I feel complete? But who am I supposed to be? I need somebody to tell me please I try to change but I always get beat But I just don’t know who I should be

Song For Somebody 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Never thought it’d be this way never thought that I would stay But a night has changed it all now I wait to hear your call Now it’s you that I depend Never want this moment To end A friend But it’s all you Time to start new And you want to Make the rescue I can’t recall Being there for curtain call Turning away Live to play games another day And I thought that Things would never go my way And you came and now I’m asking you stay Bicker and whine We both do it all the time Times are tough We could be sad we could be rough But it’s fine too because I will not go away I live for you and I’m in this one To stay Today Cause it’s all you Time to start new Cause I need you to Make the rescue

To All The Chickies 03:45
lyrics

Sue, can you wash that pan Dry my eyes you know I can’t Sue, don’t call me that Saying things you can’t take back Full of lies, can’t deny that’s what you do Jane, why can’t you be the same? Never talk but I’m to blame Jane, tell me what’s wrong Can’t keep trying to be strong Empty eyes, never look at me any more Making fun of all the pain I had everything to gain Cause I had nothing and you had it all Kim have you even seen the mess Clean it up, I need to rest Kim would you wash your hands Beat me up with a frying pan Burnt out eyes every time I look at You Sue Jane Kim Looks dim

Is This Real? 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Every person across from me Is the last person I want to see A phrase a single word Could be the last thing they ever heard A voice is speaking; am I sleeping? Is This real? I look at pore through photographs Looking for proof of times filled with laughs A glimpse a single look Could have been all that it ever took A thing I’m seeing; am I dreaming? Is this real? Why does it tell me I’m no good I always did the best I could So I just carry on and die A little every time I cry A time, a place, that will be Happiness is not a thing that I can see Until I’m feeling that I’m healing Is this real?

Train Wreck 12:24

What can I do? Haven’t got a clue What can I say? Will I want to stay? What if you decide? What you think is right? Quiet and mean Why not pick it clean? Running away Is there no other way? Can’t we talk it out? There’s no need to shout I want another name Let’s play a different game Yeah I want to be someone else I’m tired of being myself Inside I hide under a hood So misunderstood Inside And I cloak myself in glasses To stare at the masses The feeling never passes How have I made it this far? Beauty that I see Tidal wave floods over me But I’m scared of the water And I cannot swim Can’t look you in the eye Not because I lie Inside The cost has been too high I’m hanging out to dry Inside Why’re you hanging around Is there nothing around on the ground For you and me to pick clean I am looking around for someone who’s not found And they do not exist so why do You persist I resist What can I do? With me and you? What can I say? To make you stay?

Don't Watch Me Cry 02:35
lyrics

You can feel, that it’s real But I don’t want you to see me cry Coming strong, is it wrong? Cause I don’t want you to see me cry It’s hard to look at you while tears fall from my eyes Just want to die When you’re gone, we’ll move on Then you won’t have to see me Won’t have to see me Won’t have to see me cry

Amends 02:33
lyrics

Did not mean to make you suffer Was a fool until the end Now it looks as though it’s over I just cannot comprehend Oh now I’m trying very hard to make amends Did I fix enough to keep you I just want to make you care But I swear that I’ll do better Where’ve you gone I don’t know where Oh don’t you think that I’ve tried to make amends Get the pills, a razor, bottle Now it’s time to take a bath

It's Me 02:23
lyrics

A song that’s never known A man that’s never shown But you have always known It is me It is me A drifter on the road Carries heavy loads Have you never been told? It is me It is me I always stay at home I know I’ll die alone There is me There is me

Generic Country Tune 03:24
lyrics
buy track
I don’t understand the reason that you cry You never ever gave a reason why But you sighed and turned your face away I know the reason why You just stepped out and found yourself another guy I know that we have never had a fight I always would just say that you were right But why you didn’t come home for three days and four whole nights Makes me cry so hard I fear I’ll lose my sight It’s so hard to be faithful It just easy to cause pain But I know that you’ve never ever done what is right your whole life So I’ll just move on and leave you in shame It’s not easy for me to put away the pain I’ll just sit here by myself and try to just remain the same Then I can stand and just start the games again

Nothing Changes 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Can’t go on looking for All new reasons To leave you Alone Won’t have any fun In new seasons Without you All alone Can’t sit by the phone Wondering when you Will call me At home Won’t cry anymore No sad thoughts making Me bitter Always home Nothing has changed Still remains the same I can’t walk away Cause nothing has changed Can’t stop thinking about All the times filled with Laughter And smiles Won’t let go of that Feeling you give me It’s happy When you smile Nothing has changed Always remains the same Come back another day Cause nothing has changed Nothing has changed Still remains the same I can’t walk away Cause nothing has changed

Can't Cry No More 02:26
lyrics

Lying in my bed with a lot of thoughts just flying round my brain Want to get up go out but the only thing that’s stopping me is pain Turn the phone off lock the door I can’t see anything but darkened room I grew up on a farm up north but this apartment’s gonna be my tomb I never could believe the words I wanted desperately to learn I had a lot of time to burn I finally took a walk around I thought about your sound And I cried until my eyes could cry no more Every day I see the people wonder who will be the next for me But then I try and realize that nothing especially love is sold for free Stay up late and lock my gates I don’t forget the doors and windows too But through it all I feel so small cause the only thing I wanted was you I never could believe the words I wanted desperately to learn I had a lot of time to burn I finally took a walk around Put my knees down on the ground And I cried until my eyes could cry no more

Who's That Man 02:33

I can’t sleep at all Wait to hear your call Tell me it’s okay In the way you look When everything you took Wasn’t only mine All the things you do Come right back to you Weeks and weeks I stall Waiting for the fall But it never comes And then I see you out We talk and then we shout Who’s that man with you All the lies you speak Turn the other cheek

Help, Please, Anybody 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Once there was a boy Who was made uncomfortable He tried and failed to be incomparable But what the hell did they know about him And darkness came It felt completely insurmountable But never was he held accountable But what else could he have learned about him Can someone help please anybody What could he do To make it with you Nobody knew That it wasn’t true Everybody said that he had worked a miracle That we’d accomplished the impossible But what the hell did they know about it So they tried again and it was just unforgiveable The deeds and words were so regrettable But why did we even bother to try it God we need help please anybody What has he done He’s not having fun He never knew The right things to do What could he do To make it with you Nobody knew That it wasn’t true

Panic Attack 05:25
lyrics

I feel it coming in punishing waves Like the anticipation of danger it craves Tingle, tickle pins and needles Creeps up my toes all the way to my face Oh why can’t I die? Fuck you tell me why Heart is pounding like thousand drums Will I have a chance to stop it if it comes Caging, raging, raving, breaking Break it all where has this come from Screaming no one hears Can’t hold back the tears Get away from me I'm so mad I can’t fucking see Oh why can’t I die? Just fucking tell me why Tearing me apart Don’t you fucking start Just don’t touch me Don’t you look at me

Thought You Knew 04:36
lyrics
buy track
7th of October Never been so sober Finally it ends Thought they could be friends Flying with a bag or two Not coming back we thought you knew It’s time to start a life anew It’s time to take her cue We thought you knew It’s time to face the truth We thought you knew 7th of September One truth but one pretender Cannot tell a lie It’s hard to say goodbye Writing down a song or two What point is there what can it do? Is this what you thought you could do? It’s time to see it through We thought you knew It’s past time that you grew We thought you knew But what to do?
