Driving To Wake Up I’ve been driving just to wake up driving just to wake up from this nightmare I’ve been blocking all the heads out, all the talking faces, they give good advice you smile, smile and you nod you give them what they want because, yeah, you want it too at least you think you do, at least you think you do I’ve been searching in my rearview, searching for my old home, oh that lonely ghost It’s dark inside, I’ll step out out into the moonlight, give me some of that the threshold has been breached I’m losing all of my teeth I’m having fits all through my REM the air is getting thin, the air is getting thin my tainted batch of sleep won’t you donate your restful nights to me well I suffered from a tainted batch of sleep, won’t you donate your restful nights to me driving just to wake up

Heavy Days 04:06
Heavy Days oh, to be new again before I knew what it was to win when this shiny new toy was my friend oh, just to begin in that moment, I went tumbling with my arms spread, falling back into the open now I’m flat from heavy days focused hard, I can’t see straight how’d I get here, what do I say no questions, just stay the way in that moment, I went tumbling with my arms spread, falling back into the open

Waking Up From You waking up from you was bittersweet all in one, a nightmare and a dream the night’s a battle then I drift away cloud shadows fall across my face I boiled over from the pot where we had stewed must give credit now, wherever credit’s due you gave me reason to bite the bullet on to the next one where I streamed ahead that intensity that you gave to me that intensity, so good, that you gave to me now I’m sitting here up to my ears in seas of blue I’m far out from the shores where I could’ve stayed, but I grew out on my own now, where I’m caught adrift on to the next one, where I steer ahead that intensity that you gave to me that intensity, so good, that you gave to me we frayed like rope in the end came undone in a spin the fringes burned, curly tips blew into the wind there’s no fault to be fixed regret’s a bottomless pit we’re everyday looking ahead, hoping for the best, on and on and on that intensity that you gave to me that intensity, so good, that you gave to me, so good

Don’t Need Anyone What can I say It runs through my veins I was coded to crack on you eventually I accept it all every choice I’ve made when I arrived without a prayer, on my two feet, middle of nowhere, I say all it really means is you don’t need anyone no need to worry or find a hand to hold because in the end, you get wise realize that you’re the only one all it really means is you don’t need anyone
5.
The Load 03:42
The Load In the morning I drift away from my bed I got a tight ship to run in my head that can never be left alone, and it’s holding everything it can hold you take that load and put it on your shoulders I take that load and put it on my shoulders things are easy, so much easier than before I move less now, I don’t have to step outside my door I take that load, and throw it over my head I put it on my shoulders you take that load right off my shoulders but not for long the load will make you older
6.
Humbucker 02:01
Humbucker you think I need you you need to worry about yourself or soon you’ll have no one else don’t take it so serious it’s not a matter of life and death why take it so serious hum, hum, hum, humbucker I cannot help it if you were raised a certain way I cannot help it if I was raised to think I could do anything hum, hum, hum, humbucker blame it on the elevation

Cold Was the Night so cold was the night, I could not sleep so warm were your arms around me like a river does flow, this love runs deep so cold was the night, I could not sleep when I look in those starry eyes, I feel fine three little words from your lips to know you’re mine so cold was the night, I could not sleep so warm were your arms around me like a river does flow, this love runs deep so cold was the night, I could not sleep when I look in those starry eyes, I feel fine three little words from your lips to know you’re mine
8.
Can’t Live Here Anymore I feel like I can’t live here anymore my edges are burning out they’re going to burn right through my core if I chose to stay a little longer I run the risk of burning in this fire these new days are soaked in blue I’m swimming, I am sinking, I’m drowning under you I’ll see for how much longer I can hold but the screaming in my stomach’s getting loud I can’t live here anymore

Pulling Up From The Grooves hectic, intersecting paths peppered with prospects and hearts that don’t last spotlight’s shining down so bright on everywhere I’m not going to, tonight sitting, facing towards the moon back against the house that I moved into with you listening to the white noise hearing all the voices of the boys that call to you I’m standing down in the grooves I’m pulling up to the place you seem to be how I want it there too I’m pulling up from the grooves that I made so smooth just by keeping so close to the dark, keeping my throat charred pulling up from the grooves sliding scales and changing rooms making plans and falling through the net that keeps us safe building on this concrete slab; mortar and brick; we share a laugh growing up is pain I’m standing down in the grooves I’m pulling up to the place you seem to be how I want it there too I’m pulling up from the grooves that I made so smooth just by keeping so close to the dark, keeping my throat charred pulling up from the grooves I’m the same as I ever was wind me up to set me off lay me down to see me smile I’m the same as you, I’m just pulling up from the grooves
