Speak (Acoustic)

There’s too much silence in this room
And I can’t abide it like I should
I took a look around,
Thought out loud
And now I’m alone in this room
There’s too much silence in this room
And I found no help at all in those books
When I’ve got the weight of the world upon my words
And I’m learning how this speaking thing truly works,
I think I ought to Speak
But how many words can a day have
When the words you got fall short of the mark?
See I never been on the frontline
And I don’t have an old story from an early glory
Or a promise of a secret to keep
But still I think I ought to speak

Turn into Shadows

Outside the snow kisses land
She has to be strong
The place he has in his head
Is for no common pawn
He's going overseas
When the waters freeze
But he will ask beforehand
Before he goes on
If I ever turn into shadows
Will you keep the lights on?
Will you miss me at all
If I ever lose my soul?
Some said that life with a dreamer
Was a lose-lose game
"You shouldn't waste time with a creature
that cannot be tamed"
And the word spread around town
"He will only let her down"
And he could do nothing but wonder
If this was the case
And If I ever turn into shadows
Will you keeps the lights on?
Will you miss me at all
If I ever lose my soul?
I suppose I could rewire my ways
I could fall heir to a ball and chain
But I need to ask beforehand
If I ever turn into shadows
Will you keep the lights on?
Will you miss me at all
If I ever lose my soul?

It's 2 AM, I lost the plan
I'm drunk again
It got so hard to trace back
to where this all began
I ear the bell, someone yell
And I can tell
That I should get the door
But on a second thought...
Tonight I won't sign on the dotted line
I'm going to walk but no footsteps will be drawn
'Cause sometimes I just want to be far from sight
Catch a plane,
Break this chain,
Undress my Name
And some of them, call me hero
Superman
But they don't know that all they see
Is just a trick of light
They put their faith in my fate
Like that's innate
But do they know that I'm walking blind
In a shut a maze?
Tonight I won't sign on the dotted line
I'm gonna walk but no footsteps will be drawn
'Cause sometimes I just want to be far from sight
Catch a plane,
Break this chain,
Undress my Name

One more scratch on this dreary box
An upright trail of nail dust
Kept captive on this assigned alibi
That makes me feel so sparse
And I feel like I’m out of time
And I’m only twenty
The hands of these clocks
Are made of titanium
And all I can do is sit and wait
I’m covered in dust
I am subterranean
And I’m longing for the break
Another setback to keep me occupied
A surprise change in the tides
I got a scar carved in a part of my heart
That really hurts when I try
To breathe, it’s like I’m undersea
And I should be in my prime
But the hands of these clocks
Are made of titanium
And all I can do is sit and wait
I’m covered in dust
I am subterranean
And I’m longing for the break
I was doing fine
I was keeping my own old mind locked down
But I was healing fast
And I knew the how and why
We were done at last,
We were done at last
But then you came knocking at my door
And now I’m back to square one
The hands of these clocks
Are made of titanium
And all I can do is sit and wait
I’m covered in dust
I am subterranean
And I long for the break

Walking Backwards

Momma this is my endeavor
I’m a pilgrim on a desert
On a quest to find the questions
You have to let me hit the floor
Every time I fall
Because I only learn the lesson
When I get lost
But when the clouds are dark
When the rain burns
And electricity cracks the sky apart
And I lose trace
Of my own pace
I don’t mind walking backwards
Momma, don’t think that it was your fault
But that house had no colors
Apart from blue
Well I wanted more
Now I let my roof be the night
Closing on me tight
And You can be rest assured
You are on my mind
‘cause when the clouds are dark
When the rain burns
And electricity cracks the sky apart
And I lose trace
Of my own pace
I don’t mind walking backwards
Back to the start
Back to the stars
Back to your arms
