Bleeding Out
04:10

Oh no,
I think that I stood up too fast
Blowing smoke
though I start to choke and draw my breath back
Broken Spoke
But the wheel keeps turning twisting my hand
Through my window
With a fifth of whiskey and a fist full of glass
Now I'm bleeding
Oh I'm bleeding out
Won't find me screaming
Think I'll keep this to myself
Moving slow
Picking up the pieces left for the past
Sun is low
Now I'm running from the shadows I cast
It's hard to stay on steady ground
When the world keeps turning twisting around
Tripping over my two feet and falling on my hands and knees
Now I'm bleeding
Oh I'm bleeding out
Won't find me screaming
Think I'll keep this to myself

Secondhand Smoke
04:39
|

|
Hear the voices growing thicker
Stuck like cigarette smoke to the walls
Someone's in the kitchen cooking
Setting off all the alarms
The halls are getting crowded
With those who wish they could leave
Your steady pour speaks for your insecurities
Your Insecurities speak to me
Your insecurities speak at me
I can't breathe anymore
Choking on your secondhand smoke
Someone please crack the door
Before you light another more
The glass would surely shatter
If it ever fell from your hand
Try as I might to set aside underneath it all
I'm burning in the fire just the same
I'm burning in your fire just the same
I can't breathe anymore
Choking on your secondhand smoke
Someone please crack the door
Before you light another more

Drift
02:44
|

|
Wade slow waters cold
Tip toe current pulls
Hard to see you walk upstream alone
Wade slow waters cold
You've been running your whole life
Ankle deep in someone's strife
Lay your head down for the night
And drift back home
Wade slow weary soul
Mind and spirit roam
Hard to reason why you sleep alone
Wade slow weary soul
You've been running your whole life
Ankle deep in someone's strife
Lay your head down for the night
And drift back home

Car Crash
04:35

I'm a car crash
Damaged but you can't look away
I'm a nightmare
Haunting you when you're awake
I'm a sickness
I take all the strength you have
I'm a witness
To all of the pain I have left
Oh forgive me
If I come off frail and worn
Oh my darling
Wrap me up in your arms
Because I am frightened
Of stories that I hear on the news
No, I don't like them
I know how it feels to lose
I'm feeling fragile now ever since you came around
Because you could go
My walls you knocked them down brick by brick
And now I'm exposed
This is what I was afraid of
Being naked in a crowd
Cover me with sheets and blankets
So I can block the whole world out

Weight
04:37
|
|||
|
Pull the shades and undress the bed
No, I'm not leaving at least not yet
I've been drowning myself in wine
While you've been praying to Jesus Christ
I'm losing faith that I never had
Rolling like a stone right off my back
I'm searching for a saving grace
Been letting myself get right in the way
Hey
Why am I sinking lower
Weight
Carried it on my shoulders
Hey
Why am I moving slower
Wait
I don't know where i'm going
On the shelf where the dust collects
Left all my worries filthy and unkept
Drifting off as I wait tonight
at 4am you crawl up by my side
I'm losing track of time I thought I had
Trying to hold onto what I have left
I'm searching for a saving grace
Or a body to take it's place
Hey
Why am I sinking lower
Weight
Carried it on my shoulders
Hey
Why am I moving slower
Wait
I don't know where i'm going
