Never Fall Apart

Another year gone that we're glad to see the back of
seems that we're down from the start
The sun rose to quick and the drugs wore off
and now I can't feel my beating heart
and I'm hoping to hell that this year aint just like the that last two
a soul crushing drunk ridden mess
the feeling inside becoming all to damn familiar
anxiety and loneliness
And Im tired im so damn tired though i fear i'll never sleep
Cause I tried my best but failed at promises that proved to hard to keep
And I certainly didnt aim to end up grasping at memories
Memories of suicides, anger and of love
So I'll be in that bar where you met me
where we slow danced till closing time
where we spoke about our hopes & dreams & sang every verse and rhyme
at the back of the bar where its peaceful
where I think about all the mistakes that I'm making
after all we've said and all we've done
my heart is yours for the taking
So ill continue too sing about the bones I've broke
And things that I hold close to heart
I wish i could take back the things that i said
And promise never to fall apart
But I can never be trusted with a drink in my hand
And hole where my heart used to be
It feels like I gave up the fight long ago
which is all to obvious to see
That I'm wired I'm so damn wired that I've been awake for days on end
And I've messed up some great friendships that seem pointless to try and mend
And I've come to terms with the fact that I dont have long in this world
So I'll be here making the most of what Ive got
I'll be in that bar where you met me
where we slow danced till closing time
where we spoke about our hopes & dreams & sang every verse and rhyme
at the back of the bar where its peaceful
where I think about all the mistakes that I'm making
after all we've said and all we've done
my heart is yours for the taking

Blood On Your Hands
04:41

You could have just walked away You could have let it pass
But you had to show your friends that you dont take no shit
Doesnt matter that hes small you had to take a swing
After all he hurt your pride and you couldnt stand for it
Another act of cowardice it seems
There's little chance they will ever learn
Until its too late such a tragic waste
Of two lives dead and gone
It made you feel so strong to watch his body fall
Lifeless drenched in blood all from your own hands
Your friends all turned and laughed so you kicked him one more time
Next time he'll think twice about speaking his own mind
Another act of cowardice it seems
On all accounts we have lost control
Why wont anybody stop and think
Before ending someones life
Now you find yourself with no one by your side
Praying to god for forgiveness
With all the pain you've caused you alone will stand
Forever scarred with the memory of blood on your hands

Leave Us Be

Standing side by side
Arms linked in as one
We shall not be moved
Until the last songs sung
We don't cause no harm
We don't lack respect
We give it when its earned
We've learned not to expect
Anyone to ever understand
How our lives can change with just three chords
The spirit lifting of the minor keys
we’ll win the war of words with ease
We’ll sing these songs for the broken hearted
To help them find their way
And we’ll raise a glass for the dearly departed
We’ll carry on the fight screaming their names
Shards of broken glass
Front row drenched in sweat
We look out for each other
Theres no thought of a threat
Why is it that you want us to be
Anything but what we really are?
Perfect in our own imperfect way
We smile and laugh to hide the scars
We’ll sing these songs for the broken hearted
To help them find their way
And we’ll raise a glass for the dearly departed
We’ll carry on the fight screaming their names

28 Days
04:25

Well I’ve wagged the war on soberness for far too long and it appears I’m tired
I’ve been black out drunk and way too high a hundred times I wish that was a lie
I hit it hard the last few years to numb the feels of loss and of regret
I found it hard to recognise the person staring back at me without a drink or a cigarette
And I’ve skipped out on the ones I know and love
To drink alone with my guitar and curse the gods above
And I apologize if I have let you down
Sometimes it gets too much and all I wanna do is leave this town
Well ive been wondering round these streets
Singing songs we used to sing while we jumped from bar to bar
And the thought never crept in that maybe
That one day we'd be struggling cause we're so set in our ways
That 28 days seems so far away
I cannot tell you why I’ve done this too myself so many times before
That self destructive path I’ve taken one to many times has left me broken broke and calling out for more
And the devil on my shoulder’s running rings around the angel who is flattened out and struggling for breath
While friends of mine just sit around and calmy talk about the times theyve wrongly predicted my death.
Well ive been wondering round these streets
Singing songs we used to sing while we jumped from bar to bar
And the thought never crept in that maybe
That one day we'd be struggling cause we're so set in our ways
That 28 days seems so far away
