I’m arriving at my point Shouting into a void That you’ll never hear Spiraling arguments Long-winded games of chess That you never win That I never win While you try to rewrite Our history by the page Between you and I The narrative stays the same Just another conversation Just another confrontation Just another complication Just another conversation with you I see it in your eyes Dilated by the light Remove the muzzle for the dogfight All for the hell of it Let’s address the elephant That’s standing here It’s crystal clear If this is any indication Well I’m just not gonna do it I appreciate the sentiment But I can see right through it Just another conversation Just another confrontation Just another complication Just another conversation with you Just another instigation Just another altercation Just another complication

Things are always changing In & out of time But you're always weighing on my mind Watercolor memories Fragile reflections I dream of you Won't you Won't you Stay with me Places stay the same People come & go just like a Pack of cigarettes we smoked Just yesterday On & on & on we go Windshields wipers I don't know What to expect from momentary bliss It's just an ordinary life we live Places stay the same People come & go just like a Pack of cigarettes we smoked Just yesterday Places stay the same People come & go just like a Pack of cigarettes we smoked Just yesterday Just yesterday

Feeling kind of sick but I don't know why Everything is different in my mind Creeping up slowly I'm a little lonely I'm a little lonely I'm a little lonely Patterns in my mind that I share with you Start to realign now I'm feeling blue Creeping up slowly I'm a little lonely I'm a little lonely I’m-a-just a little bit terrified Is this all a dream Drawing lines to figure out what this all means Take another picture put it away Hang it on the wall in a pretty frame Creeping up slowly I'm a little stoned I'm a little stoned I’m-a-just a little bit terrified Is this all a dream Drawing lines, to figure out what this all means I've been waiting For you here For you darling But you're not there In the patterns of my mind The patterns of my mind The patterns of my mind The patterns of my mind But I’m still waiting For you here For you darling But you’re not there

On My Own 03:30
Can’t help but feel I’ve been misunderstood I was sitting outside her hotel room Waving my flag As she bolted the door I used to never concede But I let her win the war I took a walk on the sunset strip Watching the pretty girls In their tight outfits My inner monologue Through a megaphone Said “Pull the stinger out” You’ll be fine on your own On my own On my own The future looks like a Mercedes-Benz Illuminated through Polychromatic lenses Got a second lease I’m on the up and up I’ve got my suitcase packed And I’m all buckled up When I’ve reached my final place of rest Please tell my family That I had no regrets I want champagne and confetti And a big headstone Engraved in capitals I did it on my own On my own On my own

When the collectors come They’ll find you in cold sweat There won't be martyrs here Just pills and cigarettes Getting stoned like a kid Watching your friends get rich Counting the change on the shelf All for the wishing well You’ve been hanging out to dry for a long time You’re still waiting on that Hollywood goldmine On display but you don’t even know why You’re still waiting on that Hollywood goldmine Silence in the air Just like a widow’s song I mourn for those we’ve lost Whose futures’ we won’t know And maybe if you overdose You’ll be some kids hero Let us all glorify This thing called rock and roll You’ve been hanging out to dry for a long time You’re still waiting on that Hollywood goldmine On display but you don’t even know why You’re still waiting on that Hollywood goldmine Nothing to see In the emptiness under the spotlight Nothing to see Yeah, we’ll all forget by tomorrow night Nothing to see Just another name in another town Nothing to see Yeah the way up’s harder than the way back down

The lottery of life Gives you one chance Don’tcha close your eyes If you blink it’s gone In one glance You’ll confess your love And they’ll take it Or maybe they won’t And they’ll take your Heart and break it Over the wall To the other side Long way to go, before daylight Where do you turn When there’s nowhere left to hide Running for your life out on thin ice When the lights go out And you’re dreaming On the other side The morning sun Is beaming The game we’re in Is moving At the speed of light If you play it safe You’re losing Over the wall To the other side Long way to go, before daylight Where do you turn When there’s nowhere left to hide Running for your life out on thin ice

Wait in Line 03:54
Oh what do I have to do To find somebody like you But these dreams they seem to sleep Underneath these sheets I’ve seen you fumble with some jobs And stumble into his arms We can’t get the timing right You’re such a wildcard But sometimes We all have to wait in line Oh why Is it just a waste of time You’re still in Philadelphia In the darkness under his thumb I tried to warn you then But you’re stubborn as they come She said “I’m barely hanging on” “But I swear that there’s nothing wrong” Well, I know that type of bruise Ain't from just anyone But sometimes We all have to wait in line Oh why Is it just a waste of time Oh no we don’t need to justify We all have to wait in line

Out of my head again Fighting loneliness This midnight dissonance is all I know On my own One more night of this Toxic helplessness I've tried my share of pills to get me through losing you Done, all that I can do Night draws the poison through Leave my body Those words I said to you Still draw this poison through When I call you up Don't pick up the phone It's just a habit And it's nothing that - you don't know Now there’s nothing left Boxes on the steps I’ve done all I can do to get me through losing you Done, all that I can do Night draws the poison through Leave my body Those words I said to you Still draw this poison through

Masquerading wisdom Cutthroats lurking in the crowds Calculated altruism Bated breath to find you out Growing through the blacktop Emerging from hot springs An eagle on a tree-top Slowly stretching out its wings I’m starting over I’m starting over Roaming through the continents Reading in the darkness Deciphering a manifest Yearning for catharsis Following the north star Shifting of the time zones I’d invite you on my journey But I’m going on alone Breaking out Of this prison I don’t care I'm alone Got a map And a vision Every road Leads me to home Leads me to home I would rather Burn the bridges Let the wind sweep the ashes away With my thoughts I’ll keep walking No rules but mine to obey Every night I’d be dreaming Of the light Shining on me Now when I Wake up screaming At least I know that I’m free I’m free

If this is what it takes To please your perspective I think you’d better leave I’m not the push over that I used to be I’d sit in fire Before working with you on compromise Over my dead body Over my dead body How did we come to this In a half-life wilderness Trying to reason with you Feels like a migraine Let’s submerge all of our words At the bottom of a dark lake Is it too late to save this I’m telling everyone that we’re so over it I’m… So over it How did we come to this In a half-life wilderness How did we come to this In a half-life wilderness
