Callout

This is a callout
I just wanted to let you know
It's off with a fallout
And it's time for me to go
It's time for me to go

I need a chance to speak
'Cuz I know what's meant for me
And I couldn't care less
What you do with yours--this moment's mine

This is a callout
I just wanted to let you know
It's off with a fallout
And it's time for me to go
It's time for me to go

Breakdown these pieces for me
My concentration's ill at ease
And I couldn't care less
Your fifteen's up, it's my turn now

This is a callout
I just wanted to let you know
It's off with a fallout
And it's time for me to go

This is a callout
It's off with a fallout
This is a callout
I just wanted to let you know
It's off with a fallout
And it's time for me to go


AC

You must understand I’d take your place in a heartbeat
You can’t comprehend what watching you does to me
I cant comprehend the kinds of feelings inside of me
You must understand that this is all so new to me

Please know I love you and I miss you every way
I’m coming to grips with what you you deal with everyday
You’re always on my mind

I can’t seem to find my own sense of disregard
Lord knows I’m hurting for you
I feel so benign not having control of this
But I’m here through your malignancy

Please know I love you and I miss you every way
I’m coming to grips with what you you deal with everyday
You’re always on my mind

Please know I love you and I miss you every way
I’m coming to grips with what you you deal with everyday
You’re always on my mind

Please know I love you and I miss you every way
I’m coming to grips with what you you deal with everyday
You’re always on my mind



Pecking Order

Clip my wings before I fly, clip my wings so I can die
Pressed against the dirt, you can't feel my hurt
Watch your shadow paint the sky as I follow in my mind
Forever falling short
Ttoo many thoughts to sort

Flat on my face
Can't plead my case (I still need my s p a c e)
But someday, I'll be on top
High above you all
In spite of my history, this is me
I've got no farther left to fall

Shoot me down, I'm in my prime
Shoot me down, you've done no crime
It's all a pecking order, that we all must shoulder
Watch your shadow fill a space, in spite of all that falls from grace
The circle's spinning, the new's beginning


Holding Court

Like a string around my finger you remind me
Of what it is to breathe
When all is lost and all seems hopeless
You breathe your life to me
I'm a crier I'm a liar
You've seen the last of me
You're a winner still a sinner
But you're better than can be

I swear I'm over you
I'm doing what you told me to
In order to forget you
In order to regret you

Pay your way, come what may, we'll see the day
When I don't need you
I'm walking blind, No way to find, If you are mine
When I still want you

Like a rope around my neck I'm running circles
Around the thought of you
'Cause all is lost and all seems hopeless
In my manic point of view


Balance

Take your turn to lean on me
I've leaned on you for so long
Your words hide behind your age
My words they sing you this song

And I fall from this tightrope
That you've walked a thousand times
One step over two steps
You're wise beyond your eyes

Walk away its your time
Deny the tear in my eye
Your memory will never die
Your memory will never die

At peace I trust in you every step of the way
To stay with me til the end of the day
So move on to your tomorrow as we all say goodnight
Cause you're my sense of balance for the rest of my life

Now I'm waiting on the words that
I've never had the chance to tell
So this is my I love you
This is my Fare thee well

Walk away its your time
Deny the tear in my eye
Your memory will never die
Your memory will never die

At peace I trust in you every step of the way
To stay with me til the end of the day
So move on to your tomorrow as we all say goodnight
Cause you're my sense of balance for the rest of my life


Whipped

I swear I've seen it all before
I swear this vice that you adore, will be your end
My words are falling on deaf ears
As they always have for far too many years

You) deviate from what you are
You compensate for each and every scar
You can't control your self-perception
In spite of all this misdirection

Why can't you see
That everything you're chasing is just nothing but a fallacy
You seem a blind to be
With all you disregard, you're showing every card
Of who you are
It's over when it's over, there is no four-leaf clover
Try again

I swear I'm feeling this again
I swear I can't seem to begin a thought process
My words are jumbled in my mind
I wish that there was some way to push rewind

I deviate from what I am
I compensate for each and every man
I can't control my self-perception
In spite of all my indiscretion

Why can't you see
That everything you're chasing is just nothing but a fallacy
You seem a blind to be
With all you disregard, you're showing every card
Of who you are
It's over when it's over, there is no four-leaf clover
Try again

Why can't you see
That everything you're chasing is just nothing but a fallacy
You seem a blind to be
With all you disregard, you're showing every card
Of who you are
It's over when it's over, there is no four-leaf clover
Try again


Under Fire

Self-Revelation hits me like a brick
Its four AM
Sleeps out of the question when youre stuck inside the state I'm in
Where everything I see is redundancy
I'm at wits end
Over you

Middle fingers in the air they're waiving at me
No barricade to call my own
So let the stones fly but one last request
Will you carry me
Home

I'm seeing clearly with my eyes closed tight
I'm seeing clearly In spite of everything thats wrong or right
I walk on eggshells and broken glass
On my hands and knees
Open wounds

Middle fingers in the air they're waiving at me
No barricade to call my own
So let the stones fly but one last request
Will you carry me
Home

Middle fingers in the air they're waiving at me
No barricade to call my own
So let the stones fly but one last request
Will you carry me
Will you carry me
Will you bury me



Incarcerate

So much for being alone
Cold peace on my own
I'll cut my skin to show you I'm alive
A king on high-volt throne
The world is ours to own
Our ashes are so divine

I'll swim in you if you're drowning me
We'll search everywhere for a happy ending
Incarcerate, rest peacefully
Where you are

Can you remember me
With all that I can see
A hole in my head because you were mine
Like a closed book you can read brings back those memories
On how everything looks outside

I'll swim in you if you're drowning me
We'll search everywhere for a happy ending
Incarcerate, rest peacefully
Where you are
Incarcerate
Incarcerate

I'll swim in you if you're drowning me
We'll search everywhere for a happy ending
Incarcerate, rest peacefully
Where you are


Unlucky

No fools eye to recognize
Where growth is preferred my growth is deterred
If I could find an alibi then I might find something good
No blood can be seen yet it still can be shed
Know these words that you speak are nails in my head

Here's the last words I'll write for you
From the start I'd lost step with you
Now you see you're far too unlucky for me

Where's the time go when walking blind
Wheres the love when you never mind
Seems to be that youre far too unlucky for me

A warning shot hits the air in the form of a child
How immense for another to raise one of its kind
No reason to scream seems its all in my head
Know these words that you speak now wash off with the dead

Here's the last words I'll write for you
From the start I'd lost step with you
Now you see you're far too unlucky for me

Where's the time go when walking blind
Wheres the love when you never mind
Seems to be that youre far too unlucky for me


Colors of a Bruise

Like a child, crayon in hand, you're out of line again
And your colors are untrue
You make the border disappear like it was never there
To justify the things you do

The red comes washing down
And this time there's no white to be found
I'm reaching out to you
To take your color

So grab your paintbrush now's the time to showcase your pain
And all inferiority
Your eyes they speak your eyes they meet
Everything and everyone
They feel your sense of jealousy

The red comes washing down
And this time there's no white to be found
I'm reaching out to you
To take your color

To try to take your color


On the Floor

True friends stab you in the front, you've got my throat
And all I know is on the floor
And as I watch my trust in you fall hopeless, I feel faint
But I'm still begging you for more

Devoted to you
Devoted to this
I stumble and I crumble beneath the weight that I bear
I'm struggling through
I'm struggling with my innocence
But I'm sure you wouldn't care

My god, it's been so long since I felt something so secure
As I walk on broken ground
I see the things that I have done to make me fall around your feet
Without making a sound

Devoted to you
Devoted to this
I stumble and I crumble beneath the weight that I bear
I'm struggling through
I'm struggling with my innocence
But I'm sure you wouldn't care

Devoted to you
Devoted to this
I stumble and I crumble beneath the weight that I bear
I'm struggling through
I'm struggling with my innocence
But I'm sure you wouldn't care

Devoted to you
Devoted to this
I stumble and I crumble beneath the weight that I bear
I'm struggling through
I'm struggling with my innocence
But I'm sure you wouldn't care
I'm sure you wouldn't care


The Finish Line

I've read all I need to
From the look on the mirror
It's getting much clearer to me
And others around
That I'm not who I say
But maybe just for today, I am

Perfection's not guaranteed
'Cause I don't know what I need
Work in progress, it seems
This is me

I'm not gonna stop you
From wanting much better
For needing to weather this storm
Of assurances broken
That' are swarming our senses
Breaking down our defenses again

Perfection's not guaranteed
'Cause I don't know what I need
Work in progress, it seems
This is me

Perfection's not guaranteed
'Cause I don't know what I need
Work in progress, it seems
This is me


Uncovered

She's grabbing hold of my eyes
Always in focus, but she doesn't know us
Her presence is felt in my bones
And her voice is present, oh, I feel it's hell-sent

So lay me down with the discontent
Redundancy that I represent
I try too hard to escape it all
That's why I'm praying for the fall

Her image is burning my eyes
With everything I say
To myself through the day
I can't find my comfort anymore
I'm losing dignity
It's all that's left of me

So lay me down with the discontent
Redundancy that I represent
I try too hard to escape it all
That's why I'm praying for the fall

So burn me down with the discontent
Redundancy that I represent
I try too hard to escape it all
That's why I'm praying for the fall
