Like a child I can sit in the corner
with these pills I can barely get by
so I wait for the hour of approval
ten minutes until it's five
And it's Friday, so I don't feel so lonely
I know the wolves are out tonight
the sound of ice in a bottomless glass
tells me that all that is fine
Playing guitar and I'm forgetting words
like a baby who just learned to speak
unfinished songs that I swear I'd get done
but the premise was just kind of weak
Like the moon you are cold, you are distant
like the sun I can burn through the day
in the valley the echo gets longer
they've all gone away
Playing guitar and I'm forgetting words
like a baby who just learned to speak
unfinished songs that I swear I'd get done
but the premise was just kind of weak
(softly)
There is time to reflect and ponder
as the chips fall where they may
I will live for the sake of others
so they can do the same

Intro Riff:
e -----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---8--6--5--------------
Every time I see it clearly
It's a time that you are near me
I just don't see the world without you
Walkin' down the streets of munich
Where I tried to drink my self sick
Try to forget and soon it will be through
Chorus:
But I sing your song
Where ever I go
You're along
Not actually, but in my mind
We cheers another day

Intro Riff:
e -----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---8--6--5--------------
2 weeks left, the world is wasted
There's nothing poetic about it
The fact is that I'm looking for a friend
One that doesn't talk to me
And kindly serves me until three
Not someone that will be there in the end
Chorus:
But I sing your song
Where ever I go
You're along
Not actually, but in my mind
We cheers another daaaaaaaaay
Nothing new to us
But every time it does get worse
But nevermind, that's life
And all we have is time

3. The Shortest Pier
e ------------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------------
Put my eyes Where I can see
Where the soul used to be
I feel the walls closin' in on me
Shut my mouth I take it back
It's no way For us to act
I missed the boat but somehow sailed away
- Chorus:
But that's okay
I'll have a talk
With this divebar
On a long walk
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear
- Verse 2:
There's a hole in my mind
Where the sun used to shine
Memories in black and white
Cut me off I've had enough
Infect the wound and sew me up
No more words mmmm hmmm mmmmm
- Chorus:
But that's okay
I'll have a talk
With this divebar
On a long walk
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear

As the summer extends itself to the winter days
The colors begin to fade away and the sun goes down too soon
An old man walks down the road and he stops to look
At his reflection from the window of a car by light of moon
- Chorus:
He says "I'm just burnin' time, let myself unwind till my life comes undone"
If you're looking for losses to win you've already won
- Post-Chorus:
e ---------------------------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty, perfect houses all lined up and stripped away
Of any words that they had to say of anything that is true
She put a sign out on her lawn that said that she's speakin' up
But that god damn schedule just won't let up
And bills, they don't bend or even move
- Chorus:
She says "I'm just burnin' time, let myself unwind till my life comes undone"
If you're looking for losses to win you've already won
She says "I'm just burnin' time, let myself unwind till my life comes undone"
If you're looking for losses to win you've already won

Tired and awake
Write words you really mean without mistake
Push the pen until it doesn't work no more
It's empty outside the door
Partially insane, Roman candle
Come and guide me through the dark
I'll be walking through the horror I once knew
That wasn't really much
- Chorus:
This isn't a long catastrophe
It's all just a passing phase you'll see
And though I am scared of the sun light
I'm not scared if you're the night
- Verse:
Blanketed and bruised
Stumblin' to find the light switch on the wall
If this feeling goes, I won't do it again
This time I swear it
- Chorus:
This isn't a long catastrophe
It's all just a passing phase you'll see
And though I am scared of the sun light
I'm not scared if you're the night
- Ending:
I'm not scared if you're the night
I'm not scared if you're the night
I'm not scared if you're the night
I'm not scared if you're the night
I'm not scared if you're the night
I'm not scared if you're the night
I'm not scared if you're the night
I'm not scared if you're the night
__________
our pockets are empty
the signal is lost
too many low times
at such a high cost
suddenly walking
no destination plan
the will so hard to hold
slips out of our hands
to much conversation
we're losing our voice
it's justification
for lack of a choice
the penniless preacher
the king of the hill
expired prescription
that we couldn't fill
the trigger is so soft
and easy to squeeze
A miscalculation
missed enormously
a fruitless ambition
it would appear
i know a place that sells pride
not far from here
an aborted mission
that couldn't be saved
awards for submission
so nicely engraved
so perfect the world is
without any view
the smallest of hope is
the biggest excuse
suddenly a change
on expired time
of an empty thought
systematic flaw
in an open wound
that nobody saw
suddenly a change
on expired time
of an empty thought
systematic flaw
in an open wound
that nobody saw

7. Keira
- Verse:
Lay you down tonight
Under butterflies
Put my headphones on
I'll see you at the dawn
- Chorus:
Life for you is a better view
So simple and perfectly sane
If I pretend that you have a god
I know you'll be saved
Hey, hey
- Verse:
Build a wall for you
So no one can get through
We'll sleep away the day
I'm gone when you awake
- Chorus:
Maybe I'm no good at this
But here's the one thing that I know
Think of this as a lullaby
To listen when I go
No, no
No, no
No, no
No, no

You're a flame and i'm a candle
I'm a wick and you're a breeze
I'm a rock and you're paper
And i'm scissors if you please
- Pre-Chorus:
You see i can't find myself these days
I don't know where to look
Turn the page, hit the lights, close the book
- Verse:
You're a building, i'm on fire
You're the truth and i'm a lie
I'm a toaster in the bathtub
You're a beacon in the night
- Pre-Chorus:
But we suffer from the same disease
And play each other's games
You're a day in the park
I'm the rain
- Chorus:
So, get your get head off the ground
And let your soul be found, yeah
- Verse:
I'm a reason on a long list
You're an angel and a saint
I'm the tears in your lap
And the time that you will waste
- Pre-Chorus:
I hope that we can stitch it
If we haven't broke the seams
Life is short, is this all
You have dreamed?
- Chorus:
So, get your get head off the ground
And let your soul be found
So, get your get head off the ground
And let your soul be found
__________
- Verse:
Something in my mind
Clicked as i paint the bathroom blue
Words are pouring out
And i don't know if it's the fumes
When you left this morning
And i wanted you to stay
Decided that the right thing
Was to turn and walk away
- Chorus:
Maybe you and i are different
We can't get enough
Of this love, sick love
- Verse:
Putting out a fire
With a flame thrower is strange
Acting like we're stranded
When the both of us are saved
Learning isn't knowing everything
And being right
Giving up to me it seems
Is better than a fight
- Chorus:
Maybe you and i are different
We just can't get enough
Of this love, sick love
Some day we will know the difference
We just can't get enough
Of this love, sick love

10. Amends
Suffocating every breath you take
Building up a tower just to break
Hold my breath till I turn blue
G C-G-C
Ordinary circumstances that
Could never be seen from where you are
In a room as small as this
I didn't think that you could seem so far
So I make my rounds to the lower ground
With a message late to send
I don't think it's worth the time
D G-C-G-C-G-C-G-C
Winter comes and goes without a word
Spring quiets the bad things that I heard
Summer is a happy time
Most certainly the fall will divide
So you operate with an open heart
You forgot to stitch again
I don't think it's worth the time
D G-C-G-C-G-C-G-C (End G)

It's time to say goodnight
wherever that you are
I'm sure it's getting late
the party comes apart
- Pre-Chorus:
Remember where you've been
so you can make it back
It's time now to start the second act.
- Verse:
losing all control
while perfectly engaged
in conversations that
won't exist by day
- Pre-Chorus:
by your side they wait
but you're not coming down
earth to you, you left them on the ground
- Chorus:
surrounded by a nice inflated comfort
outside of which they suffer
denial takes the stage
the curtains open
to reveal a ghost of you
it's time to take a bow and float away
- Verse:
calling the police
just figuratively
it's like you're in the mob
untouchable and mean
- Pre-Chorus:
as paranoia builds
a fortress made of clay
it's morning and the sun will have it's way
- Chorus:
surrounded by a nice inflated comfort
outside of which they suffer
denial takes the stage
the curtains open
to reveal a ghost of you
it's time to take a bow and float away
- Verse:
It's time to say goodnight
wherever that you are
I'm sure it's getting late
the party comes apart
- Pre-Chorus:
Remember where you've been
so you can make it back
It's time now to start the second act.

- Verse:
Crowded streets and shopping malls
Sleeping bag and chairs made out of walls
- Pre-Chorus:
In an endless stream of a trickle down
This is poverty
- Verse:
A light to help her sleep at night
A burned out building, a castle will divide
- Pre-Chorus:
But that's how it goes
And you'll never know
What it's like outside
- Chorus:
The bells are ringing now
The voice is getting louder but it's deafening the truth
The sun is coming out
But only on one side of this one sided town
And only for a few
- Verse:
Sickening they try to speak
No words of wisdom for the worthless and the weak
- Pre-Chorus:
And he calls her name
In the cold night air
How can you dream
There is no sleep
- Chorus:
The bells are ringing now
The voice is getting louder but it's deafening the truth
The sun is coming out
But only on one side of this one sided town
And only for a few
