Grieves Together ／ Apart [Clean Version]

1.Light Speed

Born blind in the winter with an empty head
The snow covered up the Camry the whole house slept
Drawing pictures in the bed
Waking up and racing down the stairs trying to catch my breath
It's so simple, superman, trick or treat, wet socks
Bike rides in the summer to the best spots
Coulda sworn I was king of the best odds
Runnin round with the dogs in the back yard
Growin never knowin what the past done
Livin life like the mystery of packed lunch
Getting whooped in the playground slashed up
Comin home after school on the last bus
Back then it was all about last
Hit the corner store for the new Fleer packs
Mom was a religion and happiness was a fact
It's a shame how the time goes past
Movin so fast
Its like im movin at lightspeed
Slow down
You need to slow down
Every once in a while sometimes
You'll see how the world goes round
You need to slow down every once in a while
Cuz you don't know you don't know
You don't need to goooo so fast
Things changed in the pop shop got an offer
Packed up moved out down to Colorado
Sunshine clean air not a lot of problems
And that's when I discovered pogs and tamagachi
Time past and the friends found punk yah
Oh whatever man a lot of it was junk
But we loved it made us feel cool little dumb kids
Runnin round just for fun doin dumb shit
I was lightin all my candles on both ends
Warren lake getting drunk wit the friends
I was tryin to stay positive even though I pretended it
It helped cause at home I was lackin a happy ending
For all,saw a lot of tall trees fall
In the name of an addiction my sister taught me to follow

I cracked cleaned up and got the backpack
I swore that I would never go back
Movin so fast
Its like im movin at lightspeed
Slow down
You need to slow down
Every once in a while sometimes
You'll see how the world goes round
You need to slow down every once in a while
Cause you don't know you don't know
You don't need to goooo so fast
Eighteen I decided I was done with it
Hit Seattle with a head full of drum rhythms
Falling in and out of love with these young women
Thinkin they could make a change of the blood given
Nah I was too young too face it
Workin two jobs still thinking I could make it
Local all star still singin from his basement
Finally got a shot and ive been workin everyday since
Found love in a city where the angels fly
Put a record out with josh one made out clime
Came home after two years and playin out rhymes
Just to find my little angel was no more mine
Parted ways with a friend was not easy
Made a leap to the future it got queasy
Started workin on the things that had lost reason
Now im sittin with a pad Movin so fast
Its like im movin at lightspeed
Slow down
You need to slow down
Every once in a while sometimes
You'll see how the world goes round
You need to slow down every once in a while
Cause you don't know you don't know
You don't need to goooo so fast


2.Bloody Poetry

I guess it started when the lights went out
and everybody started running round in circles tryin to figure
it out
I could feel it
wedged in my ribs it felt freezin
as my cold air blew out
dance through the evening, paranormal
slowly being called to the green
where the ghosts gather nightly and sell the devil their dreams,
i observe
hails from the other side of the curb
hold the concrete notepad
scribble down my words in the limelight
this is what it's like to bleed ink
put your fingers in it paint me a picture of what you think
make it beautiful and make it look like love
make it hang from the heavens
make it break my trust
make it real
make it dangerous
make it out of the rust
make it passionate and impossible to touch
it's forever
slowly resurrected from the dust
when you understand its everything inside of you, its us.

You're all I've ever known
So to my sleep
You always got me running home
Count for the roses
You're my blood and brittle bones, my soul and open throne
You're all I know

Ive spoke a whisper in the dark one night
watch it take form in front of me and mimic my life
it seemed natural specially watching its last breathe like
poetry
watch as it clung to its own chest with a smile
made out of broken pieces of tile
you can see the thoughts running chase em around for miles
if you want it people say that old road is haunted
if you travel on it long enough you'll never get off it
you believe it cause everything is skewed when you see it
then you process automatically think that you feel it
and automatically sticks to the brain when the truth of it is
standing outside playing cards in the rain
you will never beat the game it plays
you can only turn around and lick the blood from your own
switchblade
its forever slowly resurrected from the dust
when you understand its everything inside of you, its us.


3.Falling From You

And in come the strings,
playing my patience like a note that I never had the guts to
sing
I've been living with your lies 'cause my life don't feel quite
right unless I'm swelling from the honeybee sting
And look at what you bring me, girl
Nothing but drama, holding on strong to making me feel your woes
How long can we go until we're nothing but a pile of bones？
Stand tall in the cold, right？
You tell me that it's over,
And show me what it's like to have a stomach full of sulfur
And loving you has taught me to keep a hand on the holster,
in case I gotta shoot a couple holes.
But what the hell do I know, huh？
Yeah,I don't know shit unless I'm hanging off the curve of your
lips
I've been looking for an angel like you in you since the devil
in me made it obvious it doesn't exist.

How, how will I figure this out？
Under tongue dragging you down
Beneath the comforts over that love I gave you round.
I'm freaking out, speaking with your name in my mouth
And I don't wanna live without you, I just want to clear your
clouds.
Away, away, away.

I'm into the fake smiles,
Walking 'round like a stray child
Trying to find a quiet place to sleep.
I don't know if you can feel it in the air when you step into
the street
but I've been finding it a little hard to breathe

And look at what you brought me, girl
Nothing but pain.
Spending my money for a walk in the rain, I'm drained.
And never wanted this to be the outcome.
When I can ever trust you and all I get is 'how come？'
Why, after everything I gave you can share it with a stranger
every time I went away.
I've been lied to before girl,
I see it in your face that you don't care about the broken heart
I taste.
But what the hell do I know？
I know the world will go blind if I open up the cage of my mind.
I've been running from an angel like you since the devil in me
showed me heaven's not a bottom line.

How, how will I figure this out？
Under tongue dragging you down
beneath the comforts over that love I gave you round.
I'm freaking out,
speaking with your name in my mouth.
And I don't wanna live without you,
I just want to clear your clouds.
Away, away, away.
Away, away, away.
Away, away, away.

How, how will I figure this out？
Under tongue dragging you down
beneath the comforts over that love I gave you round.
I'm freaking out,
speaking with your name in my mouth.
And I don't wanna live without you,
I just want to clear your clouds.
Away, away, away.


4.On The Rocks

I ain't no scholar, I don't write no books
I don't spend my money on the last girl honey
Cus she hates my guts.
I paid my rent late, so my landlord's angry
And all this shit keeps piling up and trying to hang me.
I Give my love in on the run, on the run, on the run
So don't you try to slow me down and walk around yeah
Sick of trying to strum along with your love song
So leave me leave me here to pour another drink on the rocks

All of this will hold you
Down on to the ground until your crawling on the gravel like a
regular guy.
All, all of this will hold you down on to the ground
Until your drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye.

I ain't got no savior, I ain't got no time,
I know i'm stuck with a problem that will come through and
swallow up my last dime.
All I wanted was some peace and quiet, to take me out of here
Before I start a riot.
Lost my reason, I done lost my way
I done sat here for hours and heard all the songs in the jukebox
plays
So keep your sunny days away from here
and I'll pour the liquor down and smile while I say.

Life's been on the rocks I've taken
my last shot at holding on to
Life's been on the rock's I've taken
my last shot at holding on to

All of this will hold you
Down on to the ground until your crawling on the gravel like a
regular guy.
All, all of this will hold you down on to the ground
Until your drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye.


5.Sunny Side Of Hell

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Now the dark days are gone and the bright days are here and my
sunny side shines
Come on man, not your same old shit
I've been living steady wobbling on the edge
Chasing life around in circles trying to decompress my head
I feel it get intense, choose to break my bread and spread it
around
Take my every single thought into this pen and jot it down
Cause it's the truth to me, you should see
It's all that ever helped
Held my shattered world together when I knocked it off the shelf
into the blackness
Tripping over broken hearts and homes and getting close enough
to turn that kid inside of me to stone
And I'll admit it, cause I was never taught to give it up
Sailed an ocean full of drug addicted misincouraged blood
Without a paddle
It took a lot of faith to fight my battles and tackle a couple
of habits I never thought that
I'd have to
But did, bottle the water under the bridge and toss another
written page of my history to the wind
When it blows, cause all of this disaster has lead me home and
left a lot of room for me to learn to grow
Yeah you are not alone

Grab hold of yourself, I know what it's like to get blown away
I know you, that
You've done your dirt and you've dug your graves and it feels
like it won't be saved
I say grab hold yourself and face those days when you feel like
it always rains
I've seen the sunny side of hell, that which I never
Thought I'd find for myself
Never thought I'd find for myself

Not your same old song
I've been writing on a mirror with a razor blade
And chased away the devil in my brain that played me like a
spade
Cause day today, painted jaded faith issues a shade of gray
And cowered, hid behind emotion just to pay it safe
A pawn, slowly turning victim to my wrongs
I had to wake up all alone to finally figure out my wants
In the house of haunted love the past will keep me warned and
explain me
Even if you're listening through the storm
I found a purpose and if you heard this then sit it down
Pick its brain until it opens up and redirects the sound
The conductor, frozen thunder rumbling through the ground
With a perfect little twist of that suit of armor
And crown
You created, built for denying it
Hiding the cuts and bruises due to the self-inflicted bone
crushing anxiety
I'm with you, so understand that all of this within you
Has chiseled you a flower out of stone
Yeah you are not alone

Grab hold of yourself, I know what it's like to get blown away
I know you, that
You've done your dirt and you've dug your graves and it feels
like it won't be saved
I say grab hold yourself and face those days when you feel like
it always rains
I've seen the sunny side of hell, that which I never
Thought I'd find for myself
Never thought I'd find for myself


6.Tragic


7.Boogie Man

The night is like a blanket that's suffocating the fire
With a bow to the string and a note from the choir
I believe, and that's about as far it goes
When you've been riding on the wings of a bloody murder of crows
Hold it all out, throw it into the wind
Let it lay down the line where the drama begins
Because if everything is covered and teetering on a whim
You can harmonize the sound of it's insecurity's hymn
When it's played, yeah, stripped down and shaved
Shipped off to battle in the shadow of the day
And if anything is salvaged from the battered up remains
You can sew it to your jacket and compensate for the pain
When it hits, when it speaks
Lick the blood right off of it's teeth
You'll grip those sheets in attempt to hide
And figure out that you've been running from the feeling of
never leaving alive so

Hide, sleep with the lights on
You feel like you can be at peace with the lights on here
So cover up your face, and fight away that taste
That makes you want to run and hide, hide, hide
And sleep with the lights on
You stand up on your tiny feet when the night's gone here
(Night's gone here)
When the night's gone here

Swallow that lump inside of your throat
Open up the closet and push aside all the clothes
You believe, and never needed more to be said
To leave you scared of that little gap between the floor and
your bed
So you jump, leaping over all over your options
And retreat right back to that bed we call a coffin
To sleep, never actually getting a wink
Due to all the little devils that dance around in your dreams
And attack you, pull you under the bed with their hands
And take away the chance of you ever making a stand
And if anything actually ever went as you planned
That you could retrace the steps you ran
But only if it hits, if it speaks
You could fight it to the death in the streets
You'll grip those sheets in attempt to hide
And figure out that you've been running from the feeling of
never leaving alive

So hide, you'll stay awake
So hide, we all know that you'll stay awake

Hide, sleep with the lights on
You feel like you can be at peace with the lights on here
So cover up your face, and fight away that taste
That makes you want to run and hide, hide, hide
And sleep with the lights on
You stand up on your tiny feet when the night's gone here
(Night's gone here)
When the night's gone here
