Under The Noose Again

Coming down off my last mistake,
I’m finally down and out
Still nearby, as I lie awake,
and you’re looking kind of similar now
There’s something, there’s something that keeps me back down
There’s something, something that keeps me around
But that’s more than I could say for when I’m sober,
More than I could pray for when I’m older
More than I could see over my shoulder
And now I feel like I’m Under The Noose Again,
Hang me up, I’m the last offender,
I gave it up, and now it’s all gone
I might find an escape today,
But I’ve got some serious doubts
All I need is some room to breathe for a while,
Maybe find my way out, and then
Nothing, nothing could bring me back down,
Nothing, nothing could turn me around
But that’s more than I could say for when I’m sober,
More than I could pray for when I’m older
More than I could see over my shoulder
Under The Noose Again,
Hang me up, I’m the last offender,
I gave it up, and now it’s all gone

Piece By Piece

That stubborn head of yours, like a ship against the storm
Will get you through the years, keep you safe from all your fears
But day by day, you'll push everyone away
That's the way you are, it's kept you safe from harm so far
One day, when you think it’s done
No need to make your peace
Someday you’ll come undone
Piece by piece
You’ve pushed them away, and there’s no one around
Not gonna throw you a line as you start to drown
Some day, one day is all you’ll have
Now you've burned every bridge you've ever come across,
But you've always been that way, you just pretend it all away
Until you've burned everyone you've ever come to know,
Because you'd like to think that's how things turn out anyway
One day, when you think it’s done
No need to make your peace
Someday you’ll come undone
Piece by piece
You’ve pushed them away, and there’s no one around
Not gonna throw you a line as you start to drown
Some day, one day is all you’ll have
The strongest of hearts beats away within your chest,
Full of pride and arrogance
But pride will only get you so far, look where it's gotten you so far
No one's gotten to you so far...
One day, when you think it’s done
No need to make your peace
Someday you’ll come undone
Piece by piece
You’ve pushed them away, and there’s no one around
Not gonna throw you a line as you start to drown
Some day, one day is all you’ll have

Day After Day

Concentration breaks,
Like a photo out of focus,
I can make out the shape
Slips away,
Then it's lost and gone,
And I'm moving on
But I'm tired now,
The head wants more
Than the heart will allow
Down and out,
On and on and
Day after day,
A thought never stays,
Alive in my head falls
Dead on the page
Words are painted fires that look like they burn,
While the real flames
Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn
To trade
A hundred hollow lines
For the words they'll never find
So much faith in words
In this state,
Statements I've made, declarations to make
Hesitate,
Proud and withdrawn, I move along
Come around,
Back to the start for an ending somehow
Down and out,
On and on and
Day after day,
A thought never stays,
Alive in my head falls
Dead on the page
Words are painted fires that look like they burn,
While the real flames
Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn
To trade
A hundred hollow lines
For the words they'll never find
So much faith
Day after day,
A thought never stays,
Alive in my head falls
Dead on the page
Words are painted fires that look like they burn,
While the real flames
Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn
To trade
A hundred hollow lines
For the words they'll never find
So much faith

The Very Last Time

Drained and restrained,
I wanted nothing more than to be your last resort
Fade into grey,
Give me one more chance to get and forget your name
Proud and strung out,
You could know for sure and keep me guessing
Tell me now,
Could you help me out when you know I’m helpless?
Far and away,
You’ve been handed more than you could ever repay me
Anyway,
There’s nothing anybody can do now, for your sake
No need to bite your tongue,
That’s gone on far too long
Don’t pull your punches,
We’re face to face
Right down to the last breath,
We’re made to break
Clear the air for the very last time,
It’s said and done
It’s coming down to nothing now
Drained and restrained,
I wanted nothing more than to be your last resort
Fade into grey,
Give me one more chance to get and forget your name
No need to bite your tongue,
That’s gone on far too long
Don’t pull your punches,
We’re face to face
Right down to the last breath,
We’re made to break
Clear the air for the very last time,
It’s said and done
It’s coming down to nothing now
What I’m supposed to be
Is not up to me
It’s down to me
Splittin’ at the seams
All that you take from me
You can’t have for free
Don’t pull your punches,
We’re face to face
Right down to the last breath,
We’re made to break
Clear the air for the very last time,
It’s said and done
It’s coming down to nothing now

Long Gone

Through these barred windows,
I see the light from beyond, carry on
Yeah, there's no love left for me in these walls
I'm long gone
Please avert your eyes,
They criticize me, and I'm on my own
The fire that burned inside has now died
It's a rain storm
Every message that I send
Always seems to meet with a dead end
And I'm sick of it
It's true, there's nothing I can do
Except extend out my hand
Tell me, tell me
Why can't you help me out?
It's gone away,
And I think I'm lost in myself
Wake me, take me
Away from all of my doubt
Build me up one last time,
And never let me down
Every message that I send
Always seems to meet with a dead end
And I'm sick of it
It's true, there's nothing I can do
Except extend out my hand
Tell me, tell me
Why can't you help me out?
It's gone away,
And I think I'm lost in myself
Every message that I send
Always meets with a dead end
It's true, there's nothing I can do
Except extend out my hand
Through these barred windows,
I see the light from beyond, carry on
Yeah, there's no love left for me in these walls
I'm long gone
