The Lonestar 03:35

And when it works you know it’s coming The lonestar i’m a one man army The way i think it’s gonna drive you crazy watch out no you cannot faze me I think that I’ve found your car though i’m afraid you’ve lost it all I think i’ve come very far from the pain and loss to god well the day doused in shards all the broken mass has charred all of the anchors dropped in odds and the city left in pods I think that I’ve found your car though i’m afraid you’ve lost it alll through the lack of a set bar we have trimmed down way too far But i think that im a star and you are barely on the par but i think that i’ve found the car but it’s driven itself into the ground Give up the gun Its time to punch the clock And when it works you know it’s coming The lonestar i’m a one man army The way i think it’s gonna drive you crazy watch out no you cannot faze me (I think that I’ve found your car though i’m afraid you’ve lost it all) Give up the gun Its time to punch the clock

Two Things Before You Go 03:01
lyrics

I know that you have things to do And You can run it by another man But if two things can be true I could mess it up more than you can I know that you have things to do And You can run it by another man But if two things can be true I could mess it up more than you can As they say right place right time As I cried sometimes i punch your gut and sometimes, you punch mine I know that you have things to do And You can run it by another man But if two things can be true I could mess it up more than you can If i can’t be pushed through You’re gonna lose grip of my hands And im never gonna have a clue About who I was and where I am A meaningless call into outer space It’s hard in times of loneliness It punches your gut When you cave in The right thing, the right thing As they say Right place, right time As I cried In Your Eyes As they say Right place, right time As I cried Sometimes i punch your gut and sometimes you punch mine As they say right place, right time In LA I need to leave this godless hellscape

Your Eyes 05:53
lyrics
buy track
But it’s those fleeting moments when you wake up Debilitated, my face in my glove And the clanking sounds of the alarm clock Ive just been waiting for you oh it’s starting to feel so real But lets not get ambitious oh it’s starting to feel so real Show me the way to your door I feel nothing about it Your circle im hanging on I’ll freak out over a waste and i’m waiting for you oh it’s a shame that in this single moment That I am waiting for you As it pains to look in your eyes If we were gonna try, this life, we would never live at all oh it’s starting to feel so real And you’re gonna pay for nothing I feel nothing about it Your circle im hanging on I’ll freak out over a waste and i’m waiting for you oh it’s a shame that in this single moment That I am waiting for you As it pains to look in your eyes Every song that comes on is a sign from the gods And even if you’re wrong Im never ever ever gonna stop

I dreamt of you and I’ve lost my sense of place Cause I mean to do and you’ve got me back to chasing I dreamt of you and I’ve lost my sense of place Cause I dream of you and we’re back in the same space again i’m looking at the shotgun seat, it isn’t the same you’re higher than how i’m living, in multiple ways Well I’m feeling good for now i cant even forgive myself I wouldn’t drive across the whole city for anyone else Is this what it’s supposed to sound like (I’ve been feeling so lost in my mind) these missing pieces dont feel right (last i heard you were living up in high time) Maybe i’ve got some different motives (or it’s an expectation) Or it’s just my brain exploding Every day i’m waiting for your call (Every day I’m waiting for your call) Cause what else is there to do at all (I was doing nothing before) Maybe i’m just too emotive Oh don’t get scared I’m just joking i’m looking at the shotgun seat, it isn’t the same you’re higher than how i’m living, in multiple ways Well I’m feeling good for now i’m in love i tell myself And I hit my head until I could sleep who else could i tell well i’m feeling good for now oh Im in love I tell myself and i hit my head until could sleep, who else could i tell i’m looking at the shotgun seat, it isn’t the same you’re higher than how i’m living, in multiple ways Well I’m feeling good for now i cant even forgive myself I wouldn’t drive across the whole city for anyone else I dreamt of you and I’ve lost my sense of place Cause I mean to do and you’ve got me back to chasing I dreamt of you and I’ve lost my sense of place Cause I dream of you and we’re back in the same space again

Opposite Day 04:34
lyrics

Quit resting your heart you can’t shake it when is the last time i have to commit Quit living the life you won’t admit This is when you see me start to forget Yeah i’m falling asleep to the TV and nobody’s looking for me But i’m chasing a wall, chasing you all Where is a reason I can stay right here inside my bubble the clock is burning why do i listen to what you say after all i’ve never done one thing for you or anyone you’ve changed quit sitting alone you haven’t earned it there is no last time you’re gonna commit can you bring the water that i asked for then i never began to finish But i’m chasing a wall, chasing you all Where is a reason I can stay right here without trouble and never quit it we’ve been falling into shattered ground put the brick on the pedal, put the brick on the pedal why do i listen to what you say after all i’ve never done one thing for you or anyone you’ve changed i’ve been running after your dreams after all i’ve never done one thing — for you or anyone but it’s been 3 years since i tried to be nice and it’s been some time since i’ve been here for you or anyone you’ve changed

I grabbed the hammer in the morning My head upon the pillow I can love you on a speedway If we’ll never have no redos The Image Battlefield The mirror or the feels It’s never gonna matter you live inside your shield How I Fell out of love on the same line As you im gonna sit here and be your coathanger don’t ask twice, don’t ask twice, don’t ask twice im melting at the feet of everyone who’s famous don’t ask twice, don’t ask twice, don’t ask twice If I show up here dressed to feel I think it’s gonna kill me I’m not gonna eat the sun, throw myself back into the black hole that you’ve been using im gonna sit here and be your coathanger don’t ask twice, don’t ask twice, don’t ask twice im melting at the feet of everyone who’s famous don’t ask twice, don’t ask twice, don’t ask twice dont ask twice we don’t have no fun anymore i said If we do it will not thrill me I have eyes of a carnivore I don’t even wanna be near me Well you should give me one more shot you standards say that is tough I’ll give you a everything i got I don’t like it enough but if my heartbeat is not flat i’ll tell you neither are my feelings i’m raising my points every day, and the car is running fast does it feel like sunshine do you feel like sunshine ? tell me when the audio switches cause i don’t have all day how many times do we have to kill to make you compose before we decay I shed more skin than i do tears mentally anyway I don’t see how you can sit there and just be a fan in the stands mentally anyway does it feel like sunshine do you feel like sunshine ? in time, let us fly

Children's Game 04:44
lyrics

I heard me say Our companions a children’s game So does it matter if we try There’s nothing human to our life I heard you say I’m gonna work us night and day And if we’re getting better then why do I feel the same? I’d give anything to forget just for a couple seconds I’ve been holding these stones in my hand that you gave me I’m wondering if they’ll do anything to keep me off your surfaces cause i’m knocking myself out Fast times - fight it over I will wait for us I’m evil, like villainous It cuts, starts to hurt until we’ve wasted trust I’m so late, I’m too late for fun these days I’ll find you while we play our game Please don’t try to prove its okay I know that I’ve done the same that you did yesterday If I’m restless from sickness or too tired to care I can’t be a doctor for things bound to fail I’m beginning to regret just for a couple seconds I’ve been holding these stones in my hand that you gave me I’m wondering if they’ll do anything to keep me off your surfaces cause i’m knocking myself out Baby I’m hanging on your words Baby I’m hanging on your words Hanging on your words I will wait for us Like I’m evil, like villainous It cuts, starts to hurt until we’ve wasted trust I’m so late, I’m too late for fun these days I’ll find you while we play our game If your heart needs blood then what am I to you You talk, to me like you are a robot I sit under the rays of the hot sun to no response There’s no humor to the world My minds an iron dome If i saw you again I would throw myself at you I’d miss your catch Forever missing you The more the door crumbles The more you see through to me I’d miss your catch Forever missing you

The right thing don’t always feel good And there’s no right way to put it And there’s no way to dig yourself out Cause the end is in 10 years And the darts gonna hit the wall The less time you give The less time you give Its gonna bring you to your fall It’s all for show Nothings real You’re racing home But there’s nothing you wanted to steal It’s all for show Nothings real You raced on home to end up Whispering in my ear The right thing don’t always feel good And there’s no right way to put it And there’s no way to dig yourself out The right thing don’t always feel good Cause the more time you give The more time you give You’re gonna realize you probably could use Use a voice in my head right now Telling me im better I could use a voice in my head right now Telling me i matter Use a voice in my head right now Telling me im better I could use a voice in my head right now Telling me i matter
