This Sinking Ship
04:07
|
|||
Morning broke like a shot
Like the starting line is all we got
We pretended we were holding on
But some words don't translate
And it's not always just right or wrong
So colour me in like the lines are there
Or just hold me up like your really care
But every morning I can see the cracks
The light through the window
The panic attacks again
Right now I am deserting the ship
And I will find out where it's leaking
While we're sinking like a stone
And I'll bring you home
Find me something I can read
Some fantasy I can believe
And I'll hold on oh so tight
Till everything feels alright again
Right now I am deserting the ship
And I will find out where it's leaking
While we're sinking like a stone
And I will go down if I need to
And I will touch the ground
If we are all that we can be, you and me
We'll be fine
And I'll bring you home

World War
04:01
|
|||
I swear you were spitting venom
I guess I was pretty drunk
You kept saying that you loved me
I kept saying that's enough
And all the while the band just marched right on
And all the while we hummed to different songs
You told me you were angry
You swore I buried all your hurt
While I dug a little deeper
Until I swallowed all the dirt
And all the while our bones they turned to dust
And all the while our friends just drift from us
But we'll be so happy
You'll find Jesus, then you'll tell me
Let's just wait for some World War
And all our problems will be taken care of
So why would you fight for me?
You'd be so happy, so right, so complete
And you swore that could never be
I read the book, baby
So we'll be so happy
You'll go to heaven and you won't invite me
So I guess I'll wait for that World War
Cause what more do I have to wait for?
So why would you fight for me?
You say you've got solutions like I've got collusions
And I know you do not trust me
I read the book, baby

All Figured Out
03:16
|

I was so certain, had it all figured out
We built a kingdom and we wore the crowns
But if all that's left is an empty chest in an empty house
Then I guess that we had mediocrity to hold our hands
We better go
They want a show
And I will not let them down
But it's over now
And if all that's left is an empty chest in an empty house
Then I guess that we got mediocrity to hold our hands
We better go
They want a show
And I will not let them down
But it's over now

All Of The Birds
03:51
|
|||
I can't believe all of our histories
I feel your bones under my bed
Oh the winter, howling and blistering
I can't believe a thing that you said
All of the birds, they have flown south
As you took the words out of my foul mouth
And I can't believe anything that you said
I can't believe a thing that you said
And all of the roads that we drove
I never felt close, and we never got home again
All of the birds, they have flown south
As you took the words out of my foul mouth
And I can't believe anything that you said
I can't believe anything thing that you said

Doubt
03:52
|
|||
You sold me out
So I still have doubts
You broke me down
So I still have doubts
My mother she told me the water was warm
My father he told me to sin is to come undone
I lied again, I lied again
You said the truth did not need proof
So I still have doubts
And baby I'm sorry still
I will be til we don't have doubts
My mother she told me the water was warm
My father he told me to sin is to come undone
I lied again, I lied again
