Stay Home Ep:

Stay Home

So many days and nights of my life escape.
It always fades away with time.
(The color fades away)
It's this feeling that has me going nowhere, gaining nothing at all.
If anyone should find you staring up at the unending sky.
What if I was smiling and running into your arms.
(What would you say.)
Would you see then what I see now.
(Keep running, keep shining on)
I'd put my ear against your heart to keep the beat forever
(Keep running) and hum it like my favorite song.
It's safe to say life seems hopeless. (We are all alone)
It's this feeling that brings me closer and closer to the end.
(Keep running, keep running, keep running, keep shining .. this home becomes your casket
and you're buried six feet beneath the ground.
Those starry eyes have lost their shine.
There's reason why I've made it this far without you.
You had your shot this ones mine I'm taking aim to pull the trigger.



Nameless (Songs To Static)

Now isn't it sad when we find our place.
(Condemned and rebuilt so easily replaced now.)
We stick to the floors just like shadows.
(A nameless kid, an empty place.)
I remember when our hearts skipped to this sound.
Now we long for that beating pulse.
Would you believe me if I told you that I was afraid of the end.
(This bed of yours is never made you're constantly dreaming)
The movie plays and it rewinds back memories and fading pictures from a crash.
When those bright lights flashed against our faces.
Then we sat alone in the dark.
Is anyone there.
Can anyone hear me.
Still we long for that beating pulse.
Would you believe me if I told you that I was afraid of the end.
As I sink into this seat the open windows and the radio sings to me.
This comfort makes me feel at home, just some nameless kids and a few songs.
We're on our way through rows of endless broken white lines
until we run this engine down.
Without a trace we will disappear in static and leave behind this broken town.



Stays The Same

I watched your ship sink into an ocean, into a sea of self-destruction.
Your hands were reaching up.
(Now you're only pulling me down with it.)
We watched your ship sink into an ocean, into a sea of our destruction.
Your hands were reaching up.
(Now you're only pulling me down with it.)
I watched your ship sink into an ocean, into a sea of self-destruction.
Our hands were reaching out with anchors dragging us down again.
I close my eyes and look at my life.
You're an anchor so far away from you where want to be.
You run at break neck speeds to find the ribbon has been broken all along.
So far away from you were want to be and you pray for change
But that never solved anything.
(You're an anchor, so far away where nothing changes, it stays the same.)
As we let go (You're an anchor and a mistake)
We close our eyes (Will I have what it takes)
I hope you find your way back home.
(You're an anchor and a mistake)
I hope you find that place again.
(Will I have what it takes)
I just can't hold my breath anymore.
We're only going down again.



Atlas

City walls are caving in.
Once buildings stood so tall.
Just metal scraps beneath our feet.
This feeling's unsettling.
We're caught in a freefall just waiting for an end.
The weight of the world it presses down on me.
I feel my bones begin to crack and break.
The weight of your words they're pressing down on me.
I feel my insides opening.
This year won't be the last one.
(Return this desert to a sea.)
This year wont be the last one.
(Tonight let's disengage)
This year won't be the last one.
(Return this desert to a sea.)
This year won't be the last one.
(Let's disengage)
We're kept sheltered from our own devices, sheltered from the cold.
Doors and windows boarded tight resistant to the world.
Sheltered from our own devices, from the cold.
Soon we'll return this desert to a sea.



Riverside

Walking outside the gates of winter cemetery.
I wonder when my time will be spent beneath the dirt and leaves.
As uplifting as that sounds, I'm not about to lay down and die.
Still my heart beats to the tune of my uncertainty.
So I try to make the most of my short time here.
These run down side streets are dead ends of my insecurities.
So I try to make the most my short time here.
Our headstones won't tell the story.
They'll just engrave the ending.
(The end of you and me)
What difference will it make.
(Still my heart beats.)
What will become of us.
(Still my heart beats.)
What difference will it make.
(Still my heart beats.)
What will come of us.
Walking outside of the gates of winter cemetery.
I wonder when my time will be to sleep beneath the dirt and leaves.
As uplifting as that sounds, I'm not about to lay down and die.
Just keep your eyes on the door.
I'll have an ear to the ground.
(I'm not about to lay down and die.)
(I'm not about to settle now.)
Just keep your eyes on the door.
I'll have an ear to the ground and
We'll be gone before the dust can settle.



Outbound

On an outbound train surrounded by strangers
I wonder just where they'll go.
As the world flies by right outside my window
I see the birds in the sky with nowhere else to be.
As our train car derails and rolls into the ocean
I'll be honest I wouldn't miss a thing about these
cold-hearted towns and the distance between
everyone here and everything.
As the world flies by outside of my window
I'll be honest I wouldn't miss a thing.
When compassion is dead we'll drown ourselves
in a sea of paper that glitters like gold.
Some say that hate that it speaks in whispers
but I can hear their curdling screams.
And as our train car derails and rolls into the ocean
I'll be honest about everything.
As the world flies by outside of my window
I'll be honest I wouldn't miss a thing.
As the world flies by outside of my window
I'll be honest about everything.
With the exception of a few familiar faces this place will never feel like home.
So we keep our distance and we learn to say goodbye.
This place will never feel like home to me.
