Close 04:52
lyrics

It started with a hum as the orchestra sings And the warming of the strings Steady like a hand going through withdrawal Open like a fist before the fall ‘Cause driving off the edge seemed a whole lot better Than waiting for the ground beneath to rise ‘Cause driving off the edge seemed a whole lot better Than waiting for the ground So darn close We almost got it right We were so darn close We almost got it right Put me in the back of an empty truck Tether my hands and shut me up I waited for the crash of a similar drive Open my head and let me dive We were so darn close Waiting for the air to come and take the wheel We were so darn close Gravity won't care how close we came or that we almost had it all We almost got it right We were so darn close to having a good day We were so darn close to having a good day

The Host 05:04
lyrics
buy track
I can see you, right in front of me We'll take apart everything that I used to be It's not that easy, no very little has changed It's not that easy, to watch our lives rearrange It's not that easy, to get to know the truth So take your time, but take it from somebody else You can't control me or get by yourself anymore You said you wanted the ghost You said you wanted the ghost So strip away all the things that I love the most And all that's left, the flesh, the blood and the ghost It's not that easy It's not that easy It's not that easy turning from the person you want to be If you try to let your ghost turn you into a host You'll find most of your view is the coast of what you knew I can't believe it, I can't believe all the things I did for you

Cut to the Bone 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Smoke your cigarettes Lock all your doors We all expire Pray for permanence Never seen a ghost When you decide you open up for more We are immune We have the cure We will decide No longer can you feel your body Cut to the bone Smoke your cigarettes Unlock all your doors You said, You're not the only one You open up for more Pray for permanence But you have never seen a ghost This is the only time you open up for more We were the ones that you held onto Keep quiet, maybe you'll see this through Hold steady, you're in for something new Keep quiet, oh just keep quiet

Killing Floor 04:37
lyrics
buy track
This ain't no rite of passage When the world forgets to sleep There are no morals to be held There are no new beginnings And only one way this can end The angels lined up at the gates of hell Said let's be mean Let's all be rude Let's all confide in a bad attitude Let's all be impolite at every imposition We will start this fight on a meanness mission We dance on the killing floor This ain’t no competitions When the righteous turn their hand There are no arrows flying true There are no new traditions The armies lined against the wall They all retreated when the flood came through You know this fight is far too real Dance on the killing floor You know this fight is far too real Dance on the killing floor

Better Days 04:31
lyrics
buy track
I have seen better days You were mine to complicate I get by, unashamed You alone can make amends I'm still here, You are the same I'm still here, You are to blame I'm still here waiting on you... Don't you hold this above me... How long, 'til darkness calls for you? How long, you always see it How long?

She says, life doesn't mean a thing So why, why would you want anything?

Lowlife 03:22
lyrics
buy track
If I haven’t been that honest and it’s too late to start When the ship goes down I watch it all fall apart And the force that makes me deviate from the course you correct When the ship goes down I lead the sharks to the wreck Shoot your semantics I’ve readied the deck I’ve loaded the cannons with all the grudges I’ve kept If you’re aware of the concept of fighting fire with flame Then it won’t be surprising when one day nothing remains And you can’t hide You can’t leave You can’t breath When we arrive You’ve come too far to be stung By the lowlife on the tip of my tongue Fight the curl of your lip I’m a lifeboat going down with the ship I look too close will I find I’m a lowlife If it doesn’t make a difference to the lows I can dive When the ship goes down I watch the waters come alive I can stand in my tower the judge of the sea When the ship goes down I let the ocean swallow me

You Don't Know 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Lie to yourself, Don't believe you needed help You don't know, you don't know Leave it alone, Once again, you're on your own You don't know, you don't know When you come to me, Destroy your pedigree I'll give you anything you need Lie to me A little bittersweet you'll see You wanted blood from a stone Now you're on your knees You don't know, who you're fucking with Run for your life There is no place left to hide You said you wanted this You said you need this, but you won't Be on your own, will you do mine when I'm gone You said you wanted this, You said you need this When you come to me Destroy your pedigree Destroy your empathy You won't ever know

Mythology 03:52
lyrics
buy track
The sign, was to come Stands out, like a thumb But you've mixed up your mythologies Cancelled your apologies and took it on the run Headed for the sun Hear chimes, the distant drums The warning, leaves you numb A paperweight, your guardian A pillory, your cardigan Still found a way to run Headed for the sun The sun The sun The sun

Eat Your Heart 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Calling out, it stretches from afar It's hard to tell, exactly where you are It echoes like you never spoke a word Can't define anything you heard Because I've got everything inside And I can't hide behind these waking days Though it's easy to remind me All you have to do is find me in this maze Because I've got everything you want And I can't stop the way you drop away From the weight of this corruption And the fate of this destruction in the haze So you rise... set... some... time to let you Eat your heart right out You thought you'd never find love Eat your heart right out You thought you'd never wake up Push it along We'll see the world for what it was outside the blanket So divine the cup That held my pride, I raised it up It was dry but I still drank it It's the only thing to keep me from becoming so completely low So completely high And the rain on your tomorrow Is the pain that I can borrow from the sky
