Lay Me To Rest

Something in the water's killing me
so I'll drink this river dry until I'm free
something in this air I cannot breath
so I'll smoke the atmosphere and burn the trees
but I don't have much time left here
So I wish you the best
but it's time to lay me to rest
Even though sometimes we disagree
just try and find some common ground somewhere with me
maybe if you saw what I can see
you could find the cure that lives inside of me
but I don't have much time left here
so I wish you the best
but it's time to lay me to rest
this valley runs the same through time
Watch as I commit another crime
this one's of the heart and not the mind
this valley runs the same through time
I wish you the best
but it's time to lay me to rest

Running

Sitting here, with your hammer
in my prison cell
if these walls don't shatter
I guess they're built pretty well
my mind is in the gutter
so easy to tell
but she makes me feel better
when I'm unwell
So tell them I'm running
I'll see you when I can
tell them I'm running
one final demand
we lost the war, we lost the battle
we never wanted to win
you wanted more, you never settle
you're never giving in
behind the mask, behind the curtain
I'm just as scared as you
and if you ask, I'm fairly certain
there's nothing more we can do
So tell them I'm running
just as fast as I can
tell them I'm running
I'll see you when I can
and there might be a little bird
who might know the secret word
maybe we could meet each other soon
and the days become a blur
and the colors start to burn
maybe we could meet each other soon
sitting here, with your hammer
in my prison cell
if these walls don't shatter
I guess they're built pretty well
so tell them I'm running
just as fast as I can
tell them I'm running
see you when I can
so tell them I'm running
I'll see you when I can
tell them I'm running
I'll see you when I can
Maybe we can see each other soon

Turn Your Back On Me
04:15

Breathe, breathe on your own
just like the first time that I brought you home
We, we could be friends
just for a minute, we could pretend
fell, fell in a trap
I'm stuck on an island, now I can't get back
down, down in the dirt
wait for the sunlight to wake up the earth
ooh, wake up the earth
sit around the house all day
if you're going out I'll stay
I said what everyone knows but nobody wants to say
they turned their backs anyway
I said what everyone knows but nobody wants to say
they turned their backs anyway
fly, fly with the breeze
don't let the season take your memories
drink, drink what we like
I'm sick of the water so I'll get some wine
wait, baby come back
I wasn't thinking when I told you that
why, why must I be
such a disaster when you need relief
sit around the house all day
if you're going out I'll stay
I said what everyone knows but nobody wants to say
they turned their backs anyway
I said what everyone knows but nobody wants to say
they turned their backs anyway
you turned your back on me anyway
you turned your back on me anyway
don't turn your back on me today
don't turn your back on me
I'll come right back if you let me
free, free from your vice
you shed your addiction, that must be nice
I, I could just wait
until you come back here, please don't be late

Valley

A long day in the valley
we made a million overnight
everyone wants a piece of the pie
I'm working hard for no one
I stumble until I fall down
everyone wants a piece of cake
I woke today and I found
the only way to make a sound
the neighborhood is burning down
I broke a thousand mirrors
I didn't like the person who was looking at me
every reflection shows a darker side
I woke today and I found
the only way to make a sound
the neighborhood is burning down
a long day in the valley
I made a million enemies
every one of them looks like a friend
I woke today and I found
the only way to make a sound
the neighborhood is coming down
The neighborhood is coming down

End Of The World
04:48
|

I'm right where I need to be
standing here where they left me
There's no more fear
I'm in no pain
I'm uncontrolled
and unrestrained
so here I stand
my voice is heard
at the end
of this god-damned world
Sometimes it feels like we're dying
sometimes we get kinda scared
but that's just the world that we live in
and sometimes this live isn't fair
so if we should fall in the fire
don't let them think that you care
'cause nobody else saw this coming
nobody else was prepared
so let's take cover
let's take cover now
let's take cover
and try to ride this out
Here I am
Here I stand
At the End of the World
Here I am
Here I stand
At the End of the World
when everything's calm on the surface
no one will lend you a hand
when everyone loves the beginning
nobody lasts till the end
so if we could form an alliance
if we could all just be friends
at least we would have someone with us
to build it all back up again
so let's take cover
let's take cover now
let's take cover
and try to ride this out
Here I am
Here I stand
At the End of the World
Here I am
Here I stand
At the End of the World
At the End
