There's too many faces in this room They're calling my name I'm unaware of any reason that Everything has changed So don't look so concerned I can see the words, but they're just like worms Arranged in shapes across the page I feel fine I just wanna be like we were yesterday I don't mind if it gets rough Let's just stay the same Start my heart, make it beat like a drum But don't slow down I'm tired of touching ground It seems you're trying hard to find the means To keep the control Filter out the demons, my disease Is filling the moat behind your eyes But I'm alive, won't you clear your mind Of any worries that I won't be by your side I feel fine I just wanna be like we were yesterday I don't mind if it gets rough Let's just stay the same Start my heart, make it beat like a drum But don't slow down I'm tired of touching ground

I'm going to the country Gonna grow myself a rope I'm just waiting for the night to turn And when it does I'll don that faded coat I'm moving to my heaven Where the fruit does tend to grow Cause I built myself a family And now I'm off to build myself a home Because it's just too cold And I know our love did grow But won't you fix that broken smile Cause I'm just going down to Georgia for a while They say the sun shines brighter where The people take their time And I've heard the folks there work until The clock tells them to give their porch a ride It's not about your jacket It's about the face you wear, and with the Eyes that I've been wearing I can tell you now my mind's already there (Chorus) My bags are in the car and as the Stars begin to shine Well I guess I'm on my way to find The place that fills the space between the lines I didn't want to leave you but There had to come a day, when I Found a boot that fit me better I'll be gone but I'll remember When you hear that stormy weather Know that in my dreams I hear your name (Chorus)
3.
Plug into my world Steal the key just to turn All the doorknobs that keep me from burning It’s all up in smoke I can’t see the way back home My atrophied bones Just one touch, they awoke But now left to be covered in snow The telephone lines Are tied to the warning sign Gone, gone It’s closer in dreams But it’s just out of reach In this cold, cold water It’s harder to breathe With these dangerous seeds Giving off such inviting perfume A permanent stain Smilin’ eyes on a face That keeps twisting the knife in my brain I pray for the sin Dig deeper the hole I’m in
4.
Slow Too slow to catch yourself from falling down Too stoned to pick your face up off the ground The silence seems so loud Signs They told you not to walk that traveled road The way ahead ain’t one you need to know Just drop your things and go La la la la la la la la Your other way Breathe You floundered in the waves to feel alive The water pulled you deeper through the tide But on the land you’ll find (Chorus) You gotta build yourself a wall Cause god it feels so good to fall But it’s a long way down, down So come on find yourself another way (Chorus)
5.
The engine’s revving down the road The wipers beat the rhythm to a song that no one knows Yeah the wheels they keep on turning And I know it only hurts, but still I Watch them from my window as they go Sat in a bed without a frame Drowning in a bottle til I just forget the name Oh but it keeps on getting clearer Every time I throw it down, so cheers to Memories that’ll keep me in the rain And it’s all familiar I’ve been here before And you never should say never But I’m finished throwing fire at the war Some see the writing in the stars But finding all your meaning drawing lines, it isn’t hard Cause I’m finished playing games, but still I can’t forget the way she sounded When she said she couldn’t draw my card The easy part is in the past Now it’s just the wait for how long novacaine can last Cause the old man said it better Kid, you only gotta tell yourself The future it’ll be here in a flash (Chorus) Come on, give me just a line Just a word to prove that I’m still on your mind But the word I hope to free myself Will only drag me down to hell So guess I’ll tell myself I’m doing fine Don’t you ask me cause I said I’m doing fine (Chorus)
