A heap of defeat
Your arm is bloody
The birds are chirping
Your Head is splitting

Falling Tears of a broken sky

Still life Smells like rain and blood 2X

A heap of defeat
Your arm is bloody
The birds are chirping
Your Head is splitting

I feel love stumbling by 3X
Falling Tears of a broken sky

Monday Morning Rain
01:42
|
|||
I remember Brooklyn
Inside jokes, dollar smokes
Darting in and out of bars
Friday to Tuesday
Speed, meth, and cocaine
We were invincible and insane
Laughing out loud/Dying inside
Sneak to the hospital no one’s around
Chorus: Tears stream down my bedroom window
You aren’t there for me to call
Here comes that Monday morning rain
Thirty hangs over you like a noose
It’s tight fitting but you wear it loose
You remind them / of someone they knew
Don’t end up like someone they knew
Can I find hope in loss?
Paid the price no matter the cost
Do you forgive and do understand?
There’s no redemption when you’re not around
Chorus: Tears stream down my bedroom window
You aren’t there for me to call
Here comes that Monday morning rain
Solo single chorus
Chorus: Tears stream down my bedroom window
You aren’t there for me to call
Here comes that Monday morning rain

Well, I Can't Hold You
03:16
|
|||
It’s been 8:56/For six hours
A broken clock/A broken you
I keep looking up
Thinking that second hand is gonna spring out of being stuck
Your eyes are closed/Your heart is broken/This clock is stuck
Well I Can’t Hold You – pick high notes arpeggio of chord
and I can’t console You [harmony] [GOSPEL CHORUS VOX]
I can’t sleep in this chair /You seem at peace now
Something we have to live with
I can’t get warm but you love it cold
Hospital chill suites you
You’re growing up so fast
Pain does that/Again and again
Well I Can’t Hold You
and I can’t console You
I have words for you
You don’t want to hear
I have stories to share but You don’t care
It’s time to live your truth
Away from me
Sit on my hands
Listen to your heart break
Well I Can’t Hold You
And I can’t console You
Outro: One day you’ll be in the same room as the love you have and the love you want
I’ll say it again… One day you’ll be in the same room as the love you have and the love you want

A Little Midnight
01:48
|
|||
I don’t want to run away again
My problems like feathers in the wind
A little midnight/ it’s alright
A little midnight/does you right
Cracked sidewalk/crooked roots
Shoot up till you fade away
A little midnight/ it’s alright
A little midnight/does you right
The moonlight looks on good you
Not darkness just silver blue
A little midnight/ it’s alright
A little midnight/does you right
Bridge solo to chorus
A little midnight/little darlin and it’s alright
A little midnight/does you right

Come on down for a wild streak
You know it’s easy to do….
I can show the edge of heaven
Would it get through to you
Chorus: Heading out on a no way street/I hope the sun doesn’t catch us
I don’t know who I’m trying to beat/just hope the sun doesn’t catch us
Verse
Sunset is waning/the water looks like lava
It’s a lonely ride home
The broken pieces
Running away will never fix
Chorus: Heading out on a no way street/I hope the sun doesn’t catch us
I don’t know who I’m trying to beat/just hope the sun doesn’t catch us
Bridge:
Love like fire in my hands
And I’m going to hold on
Ashes pepper the ground
And the wind blows me away

Black Cars
02:04
|
|||
Neon lights
Wringing Hands
Desperate skies
Flush with chance
Fast food funerals
Fleeting forever
Spirits dance
And I stumble by
I see those black cars coming down
I see those black cars coming down
Goodbye angels
My falling star
Red lights fade [Gun Club-y lyrical slide guitar]
Hope is far
Beatdown nights don’t
Steal the day
Cheap lives
On lay-away
I see those black cars coming down
I see those black cars coming down
Neon lights
Wringing Hands
Desperate skies
Flush with chance
Fast food funerals
Fleeting forever
Spirits dance
And I stumble by
I see those black cars coming down
I see those black cars coming down

Further On Down The Road
02:11
|
|||
Verse:
It’s goodbye baby
Until further on down the road
Motel madness
Until further on down the road
Cheap regret
Until further on down the road
Sweetest sadness
Until further on down the road
Chorus: Can’t get thru/still love you
Dark Destiny
Until further on down the road
Lost the best of me
Until further on down the road
Curse that morning train
Until further on down the road
Truth rides on by
Until further on down the road
Chorus:
Whiskey is heaven sent
Until further on down the road
All my money is spent
Until further on down the road
I want to rise with you
Until further on down the road
From a bottomless sea
Until further on down the road
Chorus:
Can’t be true/Still love you
