Forgive and Forget

I heard your heart in the drumbeat
It reminded me of everything
Then sparked a fragment of memory
And now I cannot remember
I know that look that you gave to me
Is just a shadow of what was
And now you're staring right through me
And I know that you know I know
And I touched your face
And you dug my grave for days
I heard your voice in the melody
It reminded me of everything
I had to drown out the memories
The silence helps me to forget
Your eyes were staring daggers right through me
I was waiting by the door ready to leave
The silence resounded and was deafening
Reverberating through our hollowed hearts
Tell me what you said to me
Tell me what you said to me anyhow

The impending doom
Seems distant when you're in the room
So let's keep laughing
We're laughing
Don't ask me where I'll be in a year
The future seems so unclear
I want to be happy
So let's be happy
I'll change my mind if you change yours
Let's dull the pain of what's in store
Procrastinating 'til the day our paths diverge
When your dreams will carry you so far away
Am I selfish for wishing you'll decide to stay
And put to rest the other life that you have made?
My feet are rooted to the spot
I understand what I have wrought
So please pretend that it's all good
Til the day that it is not
Let's take the pictures on our phones
And leave them here at home
Bigger, better things are calling you
I'll reap what you have sewn
The winds of change will open doors
Let's dull the pain of what's in store
Procrastinating 'til the day our paths diverge
When your dreams will carry you so far away
Am I selfish for wishing you'll decide to stay
And put to rest the other life that you have made?
End of page, another chapter laid to rest
Don't misconstrue, I'm only wishing you the best
End of page, an epilogue that's hard to mend
Time and distance will eventually be friends

North River Road

(Alone and out on my own)
I'm talking to the steering wheel it knows exactly how I feel
(Driving down North River Road)
I’m losing visibility and fogging up the windshield
(Alone with nowhere to go)
The water wants to wash away all the plans I have made
(Driving down North River Road)
The rain droplets call my name I'm trying not to hydroplane
Down, down at the bottom
The bottom of a chasm
Sometimes you gotta crash and burn if you wanna learn your lesson
I'm falling, I'm falling in a sea. A sea of my reflection
Don't neglect the rearview mirror, it will help maintain direction
Providing proof to the subconscious is the only way to stop it
Down comes the rain to wash away my problems, I know I'm the one who caused them
(Alone and out on my own)
Now I'm talking to the steering wheel it knows exactly how I feel
(Driving down North River Road)
And I'm losing visibility and fogging up the windshield
(Alone with nowhere to go)
Now The water wants to wash away all the plans I have made
(Driving down North River Road)
hear The rain droplets call my name I'm trying not to hydroplane
I'm falling into the sky
Convinced that everything's fine (that everything is fine)
I'll ride the edge of a knife
Convinced I’m willing to climb, and that I'm not out of time
And then sometimes you gotta crash and burn if you wanna learn your lesson
Providing proof to the subconscious is the only way to stop it
Down comes the rain to wash away my problems, as if I'm the one who caused them
North River Road is breaking down the levee, my head is getting heavy
Down comes the rain to wash away my problems, I know I'm the one who caused them

I won't be home until sometime tonight
Cleveland's not that long of a drive
But I'll take my time
Yeah I'll take my time
I’m going over every word that you said
Til they're ringing out in my head
Locked behind my lips
Flowing out through your fingertips
It's all over and it's no surprise
(What do you expect when all you do is lie)
It all ended when you came up north (It went south)
Fuck you and the back and forth
The attention that you demand
(Spins out of control, so out of control)
Just do what makes you happy
Sing along and play your role
Deal the finishing blow
And throw yourself into the great unknown, the great unknown
Or continue what you like to do:
Serenade yourself in the silence of solitude
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
While you sit around and waste your life
I guess I'll heal in my own time
Just deal with the devil, the devil you don't know
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
While you sit around and waste your life
I guess I'll heal in my own time
Just deal with the devil, the devil you will know tonight
(Just deal with the devil that you don’t know)

Snake

I'm running all over this town of street lamps and sidewalks
Searching for something
That can not be real, but something I feel
I remember it like it was a dream
When we would convene
and my eyes could clearly see the meaning
behind everything and what that might bring
I'll picture your face and keep my eyes closed
Be my saving grace, and guide me home
Led astray by a snake, turned around in a storm
These are troubling times
For one so forlorn
Am I awake or am I still sleeping?
Is this all a dream or am I now lucid?
A reality check to bring me back to my mind
I'm drowning inside my own head
Can you hear me now, on the other side
Lost amidst the fog, searching for a sign
For a sign of life
Snake in the grass, makes it hard to sleep
Am I inside of your dreams or are you visiting me
Face from the past, has planted a seed
Am I inside of your dreams or are you visiting me

The day is a lovely shade of melancholy
Start the morning with a shot of whiskey in my coffee
Then I'll get drunk and go back to bed
I'll get drunk and go back to
Trying to forget the stupid shit I said,
While trying to remember what happened
The night before I need to stop living life like this
Where did I go wrong?
I'll ride the edge of consciousness
Will I remember at all or just forget
The nights spent alone passed out drunk in the car, parked at the bar
I'm falling, I’m falling apart
I'll ride the edge of consciousness
Will I remember at all?
Or will I forget? Will I forget all
The nights of playing drinking games and not keeping score, I can’t ignore
(I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling apart)
Or the mornings getting blitzed before my feet hit the floor, I can’t ignore
That I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling apart
All the nights spent alone passed out drunk on the floor and still drink more
Slowly I’m sinking (I need to quit drinking)
I’m falling apart
The day is a lovely shade of melancholy
Start the morning with a shot of whiskey

The fourth of July
I can see it clearly in the back of my mind
The fireworks
And the fire shined as if to give me a sign
Midnight venture
I'll always remember, how could I forget
The glowing embers
And how the smoke drew lines in the sky
This year I'll try to forget
Just how that one year went
Replace the memories with the new
Then you’ll say, look how you grew
The fourth of July
Remember how I was doing just fine
We counted the stars
And by the soft pale light, we counted the scars
Tell me, did you forget?
Do you remember the day we met?
What did it mean to you?
And how awful is the truth?
Another summer day
And I just stay the same
Another year flies by
And here I sit trying to survive
This year I'll try to forget
Just how that one year went
Replace the memories with the new
Then you’ll say, look how you grew
I have this memory
That's shared by you and me
Or maybe I'm all alone
And you're the one who's grown

Beach Episode

I always hate the sound
Of apologies and desperate pleas
They're run into the ground
I'll do my best to make this brief
Then we'll move on
My anger was misplaced
It was never meant for you
I'm only angry with myself
For not telling you the truth
Given the choice, to take it back,
I'd take it back,
Without a second of doubt
We can't change the past or the words that we said,
So for now just hear me out
What we have is real
Fire in a bottle
Let's keep looking up
Not back down at the bottom
It may not be the same
(The bridges were burned, the tables turned)
Let’s make something new
(Something true, I'm glad it's you)
I wish I could've been there
(You were miserable, vulnerable, and all alone)
I'm done making this about me
(Just tell me here, tell me now, what you need)

Find Yourself
05:06

When you find yourself, maybe you can come and find me
Timing’s everything, and maybe it is time to let go
So when you find yourself, maybe you can come and find me
Watch the pouring rain runs down my windshield
As if it knows where to go
And I’m lost as the taillights take their leave
Into the summer storm
Maybe it’s hard to see me clearly
Maybe it’s easier to drive
I know that you clearly didn’t want to stay
Or be here anyway
So Maybe I’ll just say goodnight
Why does everything seem to fall apart
Right when it all seemed fine
I thought things could be different
If I just had one more night
Maybe it’s hard to see me clearly
And maybe it’s easier to drive
I know that you clearly didn’t want to stay
Or be here anyway
So maybe I’ll just say goodnight, goodbye
When you find yourself, maybe you can come and find me
Please remember timing’s everything, and maybe it is time to let go
So when you find yourself, maybe you can come and find me

Time and Distance

I’ve waited for the longest time
Delayed what was coming
I tell myself the whitest lie
An act unbecoming
Well now everything crumbling from under me
What is life? Sacrifice, sacrifice
Somehow part of me wants to be anywhere but here
What is life? Sacrifice, sacrifice
The hardest part of growing up
Is picking your fights and knowing where to draw the line
You get to choose, which means you have to make a choice
The hardest part of growing up is sacrifice
Time ticks by, it's flying out the window
Time ticks by, this is the anthem to my life
