I've decided to keep with the trend and put up the lyrics to 'twin beds'.  The words to this song are some of my favorite we've written, so I feel like I should explain what it's about. Right before we started this band, a close friend of mine was living with his gf who had a real serious drug problem.  It had been ongoing for almost a year and because of it she had lost most of her friends and family. This song is about what they went through during that time. I hope you all like it, there's more to come :) Conor

I tried my best to talk you down
sending words I learned in other people's mouths
across the table

we'll grab your arms and tie you down
starving ghosts until they flood out from your mouth
afraid and frail

twin beds and bad dreams
have haunted me for weeks
I never prayed but hope to god
there's something here bigger than me

almost died, twice it seemed
your soul was finally free
I never prayed but hope to god
he keeps you right here next to me

smile and lie all you want
at the end of the day, we all know how you are
beg and cry all you want to
I hope that it hurts you, it ripped me apart

twin beds and bad dreams
have haunted me for weeks
I never prayed but hope to god
there's something here bigger than me

almost died, twice it seemed
your soul was finally free
I never prayed but hope to god
he keeps you right here next to me

smile and lie all you want
at the end of the day, we all know how you are

beg and cry all you want to
I hope that it hurts you, it rips me apart
smile and lie all you want
at the end of the day, we all know how you are
we know how you are

Current mood:  savage



Window Seat

these quiet lies
you say at night
does it help you get to sleep
while it tears apart at me
he's calling friends
to find out where you went
but we're not going home tonight
we're never going home tonight

count to ten
before i can take in air again
these breathing lessons
are hiding my expression in this

stranglehold, the heart that never strayed
i know you want a different life
for once i want something to stay the same
tangled up, in the words you never speak
i know you're trying to do what's right
and i know i am the one who has to leave

a quiet drive
is better than goodbye
let the ocean air inside
feel the ocean that divides
our seperate lives
changing what we felt inside
what ever made you so naive
what made you ever come to me

count to ten
before this plane is off the ground again
these breathing lessons
are hiding my expression in this

give me one good reason
why should I keep breathing
you took everything from me
my friends, my city by the sea


stranglehold, i'm trying to set you free
my weight is dragging this plane down
just let it go to crash into the sea

Current mood:  confident
everybody knows you never slept once this summer
but here we are
two more semesters and two thousand more mistakes
when, all's fair in love and lyrics
shatter the heart you couldn't break

tonight I burn this building
this bedroom, these ceiling stars
and journals we had saved
(you hate them anyway)

I tried to feel for you
but now there's something in the way
all's fair in love and lyrics
shatter the heart you couldn't break

sparks ignite the tiny fire
I'm holding in my hands
brought to my lips with each desire
to carry out my plans

the rise and fall
of lungs inside my chest
are filling out
with all the poison I have left

the wedding bells are fading out
and the year we spent together I would rather forget now
the rise and fall
of lungs inside a chest
are calling out
for the moment that our bodies felt

call it what you like
you can hide the knife away
call it what you like
but the scars are here to stay

the room we knew is coming down
the nights we had are ashes now
back and forth the medics try to
save us from the flames

everybody knows you never slept once this summer
but here we are
two more semesters and two thousand more mistakes
well, all's fair in love and lyrics
shatter the heart you couldn't break

Current mood:  anxious
we sat on the carpet while I played you some songs I wrote
we passed off the bottle and watched all the lights of the city
return to their homes

it's a risk being here
sitting close in the dark
when I'm losing consciousness
while my conscience finally falls apart

when I'm trying to forget
how much I hate regrets
I'm covering my tracks that led straight to your door

don't say to me
that your falling asleep when we
can't stand this anymore
can't pretend you are
not here with me
at the bottom of drinks breathing
deeper than someone so shallow could ever achieve

forget what you thought of me
I am not one to believe
that you could ever be
alone at nineteen

forget what you thought of me
tonight I ignore the right thing
we get what we want without
giving apologies

the bright lights come off
you breathe like the sea
till an ocean encompasses me

we woke in the morning
avoiding who we were at night
we cannot be friends if we both know we liars
so this is my final goodbye

I don't know what is best
for me to believe
I have no control
my heads only a slave to my body

the cause and effect
it's the flee from the scene
it's the crawl from the wreck from one
too many drinks

the bright lights come off
you breathe like the sea
till an ocean encompasses me
the angel has lost
to the devil in me
when I'm drowning in your breathing
