1. PEOPLE LIKE ME, WE DON'T JUST PLAY

I can feel you leaving
I can see you running out
It's faith (Help me)

I can feel you leaving
It's a tale of what I don't
Have the will to say
The filth that I became
So maybe reasons why
I'm losing you (losing you)
Are the reasons I can't hide
But I can't stop running no

And I fall asleep in the safest places I can find
I'm losing religion 'cause I can't find a God that's mine
And so it's back to the old me
Killing you slowly and I'm fine

I can feel you leaving, I can... (Ah, fuck it)
We're burning bridges down to the fire below
Time to let it go
No you won't
And maybe reasons why
I'm losing you (losing you) are the reasons I can't hide
But I can't stop running

And I fall asleep in the safest places I can find
I'm losing religion 'cause I can't find a God that's mine
And so it's back to the old me
Killing you slowly and I'm fine

Show me something
Shake me from my haze
When I need your help
You never saw me coming no
Here in my personal hell
And maybe reasons why
I'm losing you (losing you) are the reasons I can't hide
But I can't stop running

And I fall asleep in the safest places I can find
I'm losing religion 'cause I can't find a God that's mine tonight
Oh I fall asleep in
Oh I fall asleep in
I fall asleep in the safest places I can find
And so it's back to the old me
Killing you slowly


2. AMERICAN DEJA VU

I'm restless in our bedroom and I'm restless with my faith.
No old sins and old ways.
But I fear the reaper.
So when it's my time I'll find the way
To take me down and when all that remains is the way to take my doubt.

It’s suddenly haunting.
It’s suddenly scaring me that I'm still drowning and pulling you down underneath.
I'm starting to panic and I'm starting to feel it sink.
The world is what you want but you're better off beneath it with me.

And I failed to make amends.
Isn't it a shame you say all my sins and taste, what I've done wrong
But when I find my peace of mind I'll take you along.
To take me down and when all that remains is the way to take my doubt.

It’s suddenly haunting.
It’s suddenly scaring me that I'm still drowning and pulling you down underneath.
I'm starting to panic and I'm starting to feel it sink.
The world is what you want but you're better off beneath it with me.

So you take the bad way.
Bad state better no.
Take off the lies.

Never say never stay awake to say you're wrong.
Always in a state that I don't know,
Taking up your lovers’ time.
So why are you alone?

It’s suddenly haunting.
It’s suddenly scaring me that I'm still drowning and pulling you down underneath.
I'm starting to panic and I'm starting to feel it sink.
The world is what you want but you're better off beneath it with me.


3. A HUNDRED CROWNS

Something in the way you want to be deceived,
I see you sell yourself.
You can trust your faith if it helps you to believe,
For me it never helped.
You can never suffer dissent.
Never dreamt of leaving you again.
And I can't pretend though I want you to,
You've been a saint you can be again.

I can't move on,
Believe in anybody else,
Until you are dead and gone or living again.

Say you're something more than what shows,
Because it's been so long.
I need your hands intertwined again just to feel at home.
You can never suffer dissent.
Never dreamt of leaving you again.
And I can't pretend though I want you to,
You've been a saint you can be again.

I can't move on,
Believe in anybody else,
Until you are dead and gone or living again.

We end and begin.
I can't stop dreaming,
But I've been awake all along.
To see you and break through is all I need to do,
But I cannot stay when you're wrong.
I cannot stay when you're gone.


4. I'LL JUST WAIT

I can be the way you wanted me to be
But you're leaving and I miss you, you know
You could be the mountains, I could be the sea
'Cause I've been tearing us apart but I miss you, you know

Talking in your sleep when you're all alone
Waiting on me to come back home
I can see you walking far away
I don't know how,
So I'll just wait

Are you happy?
Are you happier?
Yeah, you know me, all the years I've been around
And the fears that you found out
I'm still waiting

I was half a man, you needed one that's whole
But I was giving everything 'cause I miss you, you know

Talking in your sleep when you're all alone
Waiting on me to come back home
I can see you walking far away,
I don't know why

Are you happy?
Are you happier?
Yeah, you know me, all the years I've been around
And the fears that you found out
I'm still waiting

You believe in faith and I believe in truth
But I'm praying 'cause I miss you, I do
I'm talking in your sleep when you're all alone
Waiting on me to come back home
I can see you walking far away, I don't know why
So I'll just wait


5. BUT YOU WON'T LOVE A GHOST

Somebody ought to draw the line
Having you next to me.
We were both afraid to say what we think,
It's part of the poetry.
If I let you go and I walk away it's done,
But isn't it enough to say I won't.
Isn't it enough to say I can't?
And I just keep away for you.
Keep away for me.
You were a song to sing.
A way to say I need you more.
You need to stay.

You'll see me again.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change.
You'll see me again.
I know it won't be long.

When it's hard to break it's hard to take,
And the reasons why I never made it through,
And I never gave you all the things that I wanted to.
If I let you go and I walk away for reasons I will never know.
I break.
You pray.

You'll see me again.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change,
You'll see me again.
I know it won’t be long.

But you won't love a ghost.
I don't and I feel you in my throat.
Another taste of love.
You'll never know.
Never wait for it ‘and now the hand you hold
Is now the hand that holds you down.

You'll see me again.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change.
You'll see me again


6. SAY HELLO TO THE BAD GUY

Better find a way
Better find a way
To tell you got to make amends.
Don't wait until it’s done.
I know I had it all
but say hello.
wait for nothing.
you will find my failures.
you will let me go.
and you'll know
you had it all.
but say hello.
wait for me.
well I never had faith,
I never had love.
do you believe in me?
you can have me but I'm broken in two.
so say hello.
wait for me.
and you wait for something on your own.
and you wait for something all alone.


7. CLIFF NOTES

This isn't war.
This isn't courage.
This isn't how you're supposed to be.
And all the things keeping you awake,
Are leaving me afraid.
This isn't war.
This isn't courage.
And I don't believe that you're okay.
The reason why I forget to close my eyes
When you're next to me.
I feel you're going to leave.

When birthdays are suicide days
And waking up it's hard to stay.
I want to see you when you come down.
So save yourself for me.
I want to see you when you come down.
So save yourself.

The weight of loves forever trying.
And it’s enough to bury me.
All the things keeping you awake
Are leaving finally.

When birthdays are suicide days
And waking up it's hard to stay.
I want to see you when you come down.
So save yourself for me.
I want to see you when you come down.
So save yourself.

Always said the same way I'm okay.
Always walk away in chains.
You know we wish you'd come around
Because nothing's changed,
But it doesn't feel the same.

I want to see you when you come down.
So save yourself for me.
I want to see you when you come down.
So save yourself.


8. MAD

So won't you save the part of me that's broke again
And don't be hateful if I'm unfaithful
So wait
Something tells me I'm a fake
Now lie to me or run away and hide from me
How you feel

Even if he tastes the same
Even if you say my name

There's a part of me hoping you can find a better part of me
And I've been in shambles before
But I can't feel anymore
So wait
Something tells me I might break
Now lie to me or run away and hide from me
How you feel

Even if he tastes the same
Even if you say my name
Even if he tastes the same
Even if you say my name

Been awake for so long
And you say I'll be my father's son
Now I can never tell a lie to you
Because I've seen what they can do
Being in love is so lost
And I will never look again
I hope
But I know

There's a part of me hoping you can find a better part of me

Even if he tastes the same
Even if you say my name
Even if he tastes the same
Even if you say my name


9. GOLD DUST

I ain't a ghost man,
You can see my feet walking on.
And I ain't dead yet,
I am singing songs so sing along.

And you can let em' know I took what I was looking for.
And you can let em' know I took it cause' they couldn't, no.

I ain't a bad man,
You could say that I am still my mother's son.
And I ain't seeing red.
I am seeing everything I never was.

And you can let em' know I took what I was looking for.
And you can let em' know I took it cause' they couldn't, no.
So where do we go from here?

I played the wrong hand on the other hand I played it right,
And I'm taking up a throne that was already ready already mine.

And you can let em' know I took what I was looking for.
And you can let em' know I took it cause' they couldn't, no.
So where do we go from here?

You walked away.
I walked away.
And now that I'm gone,
Is it sinking in?
And now that I'm home,
Is it sinking in alone?


10. SAME TIGHT ROPE

Nothing left running alone.
Everything was moving fast,
Keeping pace with planes above.
Nothing ever seems to last.
I'm sorry you can't see where I'm running from,
I hope to get away.
Forget the way I sing the same old songs,
But I always sing along.

When all is said and done.
On the run it’s not where I want to be,
No, it'll all remain the same if I change.
You'll see oh my love is it ever enough?
Because everybody seem to feel the same,
And I don't know if I have a line,
A line to make you want to wait.
So now I'm guilt stricken silent with my head on the floor,
And I'll never be the same.
So to get away forget the way I play
The same old songs and make the same mistakes.

When all is said and done,
On the run it’s not where I want to be.
No, it'll all remain the same if I change.
You'll see me when it's done.

And I'm learning not to love.
Part of me going through emotions I can't show,
Going through the motions of regret.
I let go.
And I'm learning I'm alone suddenly living in the moment.
You both know you're falling from the same tight rope.

When all is said and done,
On the run it’s not where I want to be.
No, it'll all remain the same if I change.
You'll see me when it's done.


11. 1996 ON BEVARD

It pays to be insane,
Indiana rain.
I let go.
And I made the same mistakes,
Sleeping in the flame.
I lost hope
Just to be alone.

Afraid I'll be my father and fade away.
We almost sound the same.
Afraid I'll be forgotten but I can't change.

I need to hear you say please don't look away.
I still want to let you let me in even when it ends
If you need to love me.
Love me patiently just until you see I'm giving up
And just to make sure I've wasted all doubt.
Just to make sure please wake me up now,
And what won't let me down is my fear.

Afraid I'll be my father and fade away.
We almost sound the same.
Afraid I'll be forgotten but I can't change.

I'm broken and it's hurting,
And all you say is love me too.
Don’t take it if you know it’s not enough,
Maybe I’ll be more tomorrow.

Afraid I'll be my father and fade away.
We almost sound the same.
Afraid I'll be forgotten but I can't change.
