under the summer rain

i've locked and loaded all the words i won't ever say
pointed them at my own head cuz it's my only demise.
dance and explode.
criss cross paths and meet somewhere where i've never been.
i'm so shocked and understood.
we starve for the approval of everyone
knowing that no one understood
the story unfolds and the stone is chipped away
for i'm my on my own now son,
you should have never listened to a word i said
and everyone i can come to terms with in my head
won't feel the way i do
unless they change their entire tune to the key just flat of being content
i ran a hundred miles in my head
i've counted every star in the sky
i can't believe all the things that have happened to me
but can believe why
i'm a comet that collides with your hips
a star that never shone as bright as the day we intertwined
and is duller now for it.
i cannot forget all the ones who loved me
because they're the best thing that's ever happened to my pathetic story
god bring all my friends to glory


"i'd sing my insides out for you."

lights out in the house of the rising sun

the truth is.
i'm not sure of where my heart is
see this girl
had it a long time ago.
and didn't ever tell me where it went.
though i'm not complaining yet,
i just would like to move on
paper mache confidence
mixed feelings and drinks.
i can't drown my worst feeling out.
water logged with love
or a lack thereof.
i'm always in a rush to nowhere inparticular
i'm feeling out my own end
can't compress all these thoughts into words
and you just aren't you anymore.
can't seem to pull everything together
probably because i don't know where anything is.
i need to know why i'm here
i'm a boy who's lost his sense of home.
i want all my old friends back
tombstone.

some things i'll never know...

i run the world in the palm of my hand.
i sink ships and wash bones up on shore.

i am punch drunk with infatuation.
tanked on love.
started back from square one again
this circle never ends, does it...

and like the mountaineer ignores all the mountains,
and the coast dwellers are blind to the sea,
i picked you out from a crowded room,
darlin won't you marry me?
