THREE WORDS EP (2010)

The Old Pain

I walk down-
Town looking round for you
Searching high, searching low
For someone I no longer know

Hope still remains
A slow burning flame
That guides me
Through these dim lit times

No sights in this town
No curious sounds
Distract me
You will be found

And I can’t help but be reminded
Of the Old Pain I thought subsided

The Old Pain
My pain
The Old Pain
My pain
The Old Pain
It’s hard to explain
The Old Pain
My pain

From Burning Bridges

This may be far too little, far too late
Everything I have said and done, I’m sure to repeat
We’ve isolated incidents, in favor of change
No matter how hard I try, I’m still the same
Even though I don’t think it’s true, I’d like you to say
Everything will be all right my dear, everything
Everything will be all right my dear, everything

I will always be like this
Living somewhere that doesn’t exist
Dreaming of things that make me selfish
I will always be like this

The past is like another country it speaks differently
The pleasant parts of all my memories fade violently

I will always be like this
Living somewhere that doesn’t exist
Dreaming of things that make me selfish
I will always be like this

I will always be like this
Keeping warm from burning bridges
Feeling like the poorest rich kid
I will always be like this

I will always be like this…
Burning, burning
From burning bridges

What People Do

Vacant streets
Crowded thoughts
What’s the name of this place?
I forgot
Is this what people do?
I don’t know
Was about to ask you

Troubled by
All the lies
And I wish that they were not all mine
I was wrong
They were right
You changed overnight
I know I’m wrong

Strange And Futureless

I have not thought of that kid in years
The one who felt in the way of the world
All of his dreams were set in this neighborhood
Never thought he would leave…

Mother, Father, Sister, Brother

We were just kids lost where we lived
Had fun, did wrong – were right for far too long
Never asked why we felt so alive
But I think I always knew…

Mother, Father, Sister, Brother

In this neighborhood we weren’t supposed to change
For our own good we could not remain…
Strange and Futureless

Told by the world we didn’t fit in
We told the world we never wanted to

Hidden Just Enough

Light pours in, dust kicks up
Behind curtains, hidden just enough
I heard a voice
It sounded like yours
Distant and bored
I wish I cared more

I said, “I can’t tell”
With a bar room yell
You asked “why?”
With tears in your eyes

And I remember summer days
That we’d just sleep away
Pick pretend people to blame
For hiding from our lives

IN WONDER 7″ Single B/W JUNE + NO ONE KNOWS (2009)

In Wonder

I decided
The world ain’t good enough for you
It never makes time for truth

It is failing
If only it could spare some time
For you and me to be…

Kids that can’t explain
Why all this means something
Awoken by the mystery
Told nothing is what it seems

We don’t know who we are

We are
All in
Wonder

We were scammed by these answers
Innocence wasn’t a fair trade

No One Knows

Times have changed
Summers don’t feel the same
Everything
That I love
I love alone

No one knows
Anything
About you
Or
About me

TWO WORDS EP (2008)

Hardly Young

You have always said
You are just so young
So you can defend
All that you have done

You are hardly young
I have seen what you’ve done
I wish I knew
Knew your secret
I bet you’re hiding
Hiding a portrait
And if I found it…
I’d probably destroy…

Yes, I guess I care
And I know you don’t
Want to live your life…
I’ll make sure you won’t

I’ve been hiding in
The shadows cast by
Your doubt
Your doubt in me

Good Story

Another day, I am all alone
Strangers assure me, I am home
Turn the light on guide me through the night
When the lights on, everything’s alright

They stand in line, single file
I’m dressed in white, life on trial
Faces of the people I once knew
Made my party, not my funeral

The more we talk, the less words mean
The more I sleep, the more I see
And it’s what’s to come, that’ll haunt me

Life is just a good story
A tragic ending to a comedy
Is that something I shouldn’t say?
Am I too young to feel this way?

Just Thoughts

I dusted off my angry drunk
Put it back on, for good luck
I’m surprised it still fits me
I polished off my second pint
I can see just who’d you’d like
For me to be

And I forgot your words hurt me
But you forgot pain might be
My favorite way to feel

And I forgot our history
And everything it means to me
I’m sorry

Say your prayers,
Count the nights
I’ve been here
I’m still here

Did I fail you now?
Like you thought I would
Does it matter now?
I don’t think it should
Did I fail you now?
Like you thought I would
Did I leave you now?
Like you thought I would

I dusted off my angry drunk
Put it back on for good luck
I’m surprised it still fits

They’re just thoughts…

It’s Missing

I can’t see
Two feet
In front of me
I don’t feel
How you feel
It’s Missing
I can’t be concerned
With your concerns
I don’t think
How you think
It’s Missing

It’s like being compared to the incomparable
