Exit The Sun

Exit The Sun

It is difficult to calm this warmth
Lit match hits gas and I’m the impact
Truth hurts and this burns all that I lack
After I set myself on fire

Words turn into ash and fading smoke
The mood of two goes way out of tune
lips sealed and I feel all that I lose
After I set myself on fire

Go ahead just shrug and turn your head
Lifeless interest and I’m not impressed
All red I led the flame into my best
After I set myself on fire

Wake Up

On the line with one last look
I’m the bait that’s on the hook
Bite my tongue or foot in mouth
I left behind what I’m all about

Wake up, and stick to your guns
Wake up, what's done is done

Wake up, you’re not living if you’re dreaming
Wake up to find

One more try to find the truth again
Cause I’ve been lying to myself for too long
Just trying and losing

One more try to get the feeling back
Cause I’ve been fighting with myself for too long
Just trying to hold on and maybe try to move on

None of this makes any sense
Knock one more off the list
If you hid it from yourself
You lost it but you hid it well

Wake up, there’s more than one side to it
Wake up, there’s only one side of it

Wake up, contradicting what you’re saying
And it is always about

JULY 25, 2015 - Daniel makes an appearance

What you feel and what you doubt
What you take and what you give
Drop the thoughts and try to live

(wake up)

One more moment that I won’t regret
Cause what I’m feeling now is finally found
Just trying and losing
Just trying to hold on

Before what I feel is gone

Open The Door

Giving in, Giving in
Intimidating I’d like to catch a glimpse
One solid moment of whatever this is

When you open the door
When you walk in the room
When my heart skips a beat
Not a moment too soon

When you keep it inside
When I see right through
With that look in your eyes
Who am I to refuse

No more waiting
Gotta grab the bull by the horns and go
In too many ways
too many days

I have sought after a sinking sun

When you open the door
When you walk in the room
When my heart skips a beat
Not a moment too soon

When you keep it inside
When I see right through
With that look in your eyes
Who am I to refuse

Too many ways
Too many days
Under this sun
Under our sun

Intimidating you express and I’m impressed
So interesting no lie and now I’m out of time

When you open the door
When you walk in the room
When my heart skips a beat
Not a moment too soon

When you keep it inside
When I see right through
With that look in your eyes
Who am I to refuse

Nothing Else

Clock towers fall before that feeling
Never a better fortune than this girl

Brought by her wit and smile fade
Green seems greener on either side

Of a fence that don’t divide
awake excited with endless laughter
Nothing else ever seems to matter

Oh and in the bed you lay and curl
Never a better fortune than this girl
With a heart to light and break the sun
Once bitten by her lust, it cant be undone

A curse to watch her leave again
So now from the ceiling I must descend
Nothing else ever seems to matter

The Night Awaits

The Night Awaits

Digging up as many crimes as we can find
Fortune famine get on the band wagon
Tonight is the night we do what we do
Living it just to make it through

Our hands before our eyes
Cheers to the last alive
Smash test car wreck and laugh
Yeah, Its that kind of life

The night life is a sharp knife
We don’t leave that house without them by our sides
Our burden is in our bourbon
Driving curse we devise through these words

Our hands before our eyes
Cheers to the last alive
Smash test car wreck and laugh
Yeah, Its that kind of life

Battle forged friction
And a drink to the sky
We own our behavior
And wear the decline

Bricks break and walls shake
Try the riot run
With us in your sight
destruction for fun

Impede on our path
See who laughs last

Night life is a sharp knife
Its that kind of life
The time is perfect

For an infect
For Us To infect

Night life is a sharp knife
For us to all come alive
For this kind of life
