Two's A Crowd

Here I come, rolling up my sleeves /
Any takers? Any takers?
Money on you, money on you /
Cause it’s me or you /
My money’s on you
If loyalty would mean anything when you’re always this hungry /
I’d starve myself to watch you feast, one day /
At a time /
At a time
But you and I, we both know things never change /
Ain’t that why I’m slapping down, on your name?
Money on you, money on you /
Cause it’s me or you /
My money’s on you
Finger by finger on the tightest grip /
Finger by finger on the tightest grip
Two steps /
Two steps forward, now three step /
Three steps back and now /
Two steps /
Two steps forward, now three steps and I’m pushing back /
Two step /
Two steps forward, now three step /
Three steps back /
Two step, two steps forward /
Now I’m pushing back
This is war /
This is war

No True North
03:24
|
|||
I used to dream about neon lights /
Used to dream of winning the fight /
Now I just try to make it through /
Just try to make it through /
Every second of every minute that I have to stand here next you /
On an unsteady chair, with a rope turtle neck
Like a nicotine tan on a three day bender /
You’re born again, born again /
But do you really want to live twice? /
You want to live twice, like this?
You can draw that line into the sand /
But it’s always a break and not a bend /
When you ask for the light they take away /
Whether it’s night or day
Destiny /
What have you chosen for me? /
Not the man I thought I’d be /
Plot twist for amateur
You can draw that line into the sand /
But it’s always a break and not a bend /
When you ask for the light they take away /
Whether it’s night or day /
Whether it’s night or day
Which way, which way is north? /
How did we get this far off course? /
Which way, which way is north? /
How did we get this far off course?
Which way, which way is north? /
How did we get this far off course? /
Which way, which way is north? /
How did we get this far?
You can draw that line into the /
But it’s always a break and not a bend /
Oh when I ask for a light would you take it away? /
Whether it’s night or day /
Whether it’s night or day

The View from Here
02:39
|
|||
While I spent my day in the sun /
I watched you struggle in the mud /
And you’re gonna need a lot more than rope /
To pull you out of this
Look at you sitting pretty thinking you’re something special /
You ain’t anything nobody ever seen
You thought you could just crucify, every little thing /
What did I tell you? /
What did I tell you? /
All you do is crucify, every little thing /
What did I tell you? /
What did I tell you?
All apologies, I don’t need your invitations /
All apologies, I don’t need your expectations
Its you not me that needs the rescue /
Not me that needs the rescue /
Not me that needs the rescue /
Not me that needs the res-
What, you think I’d just lay there? /
Oh I’ll show you who’s holding that rope /
I don’t need your saving /
I’ll show you /
I’ll show you

Hostage
03:15
|
|||
I felt like a diamond in the light /
But I’m not your enemy /
You can pull the shades and count your scars /
But some things you never see
You’re a god among believers /
Funny, you never lead them /
But you got that spirit, don’t you?
Somehow they pull the strings /
Now they want everything, until it /
Eats you like a cancer /
Spreads through all you’re after /
Will you be hanging on?
But you hang on like a wish in a well /
A wish in a well, that you never believe
Somehow they pull the strings /
Now they want everything, until it /
Eats you like a cancer /
Spreads through all you’re after /
Will you be hanging on? /
I’ll be hanging on /
I’ll be hanging on

The Ocean
03:15
|
|||
Pressing your fingers up against the glass /
I hold this breath in like it my be my last /
And if this ship goes down, well, I’ll go it all alone /
And use my last breath just to say this to you /
You’re one, just one /
Drop in the ocean /
One, just one /
Drop in the ocean
Now talk to me /
Tell me you’re the greatest /
How you’re the best kept secret /
And no one believes it /
Unlike those other thousand sailors in the sea /
They never come home with your uncertainty /
And how dare you ever speak about those things /
That kept you afloat /
And brought you back to the shore
One, just one /
Drop in the ocean /
One, just one /
Drop in the ocean /
And when I do return /
I’ll watch you from afar to make damn sure /
You get what’s been coming all along /

Stolen Gold
03:20
|
|||
Molly /
Takes a drag from up on her /
Silver screen /
Makes it up in her mind cause /
She don’t wait /
For anyone to tell her /
What she needs, for anything
Don’t it feel like you maybe lost control? /
Did you drive it straight off the road? /
Cause I know, that you won’t /
Just let this go /
When you paved your way with stolen gold
She don’t remember half of her lines /
She spoke into the mirror a thousand times /
Go on and tell me when I’m wrong /
But you’d never tell me if I knew it all along
Cause you hate the way I read your mind /
Say it to me just one time
Go on and say it /
Just once /
I know you won’t
Don’t it feel like you maybe lost control? /
Did you drive it straight off the road? /
Cause I know, that you won’t /
Just let this go /
When you paved your way with stolen gold

Number Three
04:06
|

Pull yourself together now, we’ve got nothing left to lose /
We’ve been asking all the same /
Questions you don’t have answers to /
Like when it comes to faith /
Will no amount take you all the way? /
You’re always kneeling /
And always fearing /
More than life itself
And I wanna see /
Wanna be /
Wanna know /
If it looks like hell, are we running? /
I wanna see /
Wanna be /
Wanna know /
If it looks like hell, are we running?
I don’t need to hold your every empty promise in my hand /
It’s a weight that I won’t carry /
A bone that you won’t bury /
And I ain’t ever seen the proof /
From where you’re standing
I wanna see /
Wanna be /
Wanna know /
If it looks like hell, are we running? /
I wanna see /
Wanna be /
Wanna know /
If it looks like hell, are we running?
But it’s not a test /
Not a trick of the mind /
No, it’s not a test /
Not a trick of the mind /
At least not this time
We /
We believe /
That you’re more than just a body, you’re a soul /
And you’re more, so much more than you feel you’re capable /
And believe, believe like you’ve never been afraid
I wanna see /
Wanna be /
Wanna know /
If it looks like hell, are you running?

Reads Like Fiction
02:59
|

Well you think you know yourself /
You think you know just where you lay /
But when the chips are down /
To a number you can’t count
I’ll make you beg /
Make you plead /
Suffer just to heal /
Then let you slip away /
Just to slip away
Well tonight /
I could make this all worth your while /
But tonight /
I’ll make every wrong feel so /
Right
Let it spread like a fever /
The sweat outline where you lay /
And just when you think it gonna break /
You start feeling every ache
I’ll make you make beg /
I’ll make you plead /
Oh god I’ll make you suffer to watch you heal /
Tonight /
I could make this all worth your while /
But tonight /
I’ll make every wrong feel so /
Right

Dying at Your Desk
03:43
|
|||
Talk to me, talk to me /
Tell me anything, anything at all /
Say I won’t understand /
But you were choking on the blood from your own tongue /
Couldn’t spit it out /
Couldn’t swallow it down this time /
So here goes
You say you’re waiting on a sunrise /
In a room with no view /
And when I see that disappointment on your face /
Don’t you know I climb the walls
And everyday I get a little more afraid that you’re right /
That eager eyes are caught in this trap of just watching us fall
And all the things that I thought you’d be /
But you’re not /
And all the things that you could be /
But you won’t
You could /
But you won’t
You should /
But you’re not /
You could /
But you won’t
I won’t rest my head until I have my moment /
In the sun to burn the ones that waste it all /
I won’t rest my head until I have my moment /
In the sun to burn the ones that waste it all /
But in my deepest oceans, baby, do your toes still touch? /
Do they touch?
Well do they ever touch? /
Do they ever? No, they never touch

Not My Blood
04:02
|
|||
Living day to day /
You never mind the time that wanders through the hall /
Holding conversations to have the final word /
Isn’t that what you’re after?
On the tip of your tongue, you said /
Burn, burn, burn, burn it to the ground /
But not my blood, not my blood /
Burn, burn, burn, burn it to the ground /
But not my blood, not my blood
My brother he’s a dreamer /
Best of all a believer /
He could do anything, anything /
Anything, anything /
But on the tip of their tongue, using words like razors /
In our eyes /
Well that’s when I
Burn, burn, burn, burn it to the ground /
But not my blood, not my blood /
Burn, burn, burn, burn it to the ground /
But not my blood, not my blood
If you’re gonna burn /
I’ll let you burn /
And burn /
And let you burn /
But I won’t let you burn
Not my blood /
Not my blood /
Not my blood
