And you watch your heart is breaking,

And the world keeps moving slower,

And there’s the time it’s taking,

To let your eyes just close.

Sleeping Habits

You’re keeping me awake

Do you know that?

I can’t take

The way you say my name,

Do I make that clear?

I resist til I fall,

And the dress comes down,

And the smile comes out.

 

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Being in love with you, like being in bed with you,

I’m on fire all the time, you’re to blame.

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

 

But she said, that you and her had some of your own.

I’m not so cool with that, but I guess you still get what you want,

And I still lie awake, in my own salt water,

Waiting for the sun to break.

Yeah she told me what you said, what you said to her,

And I couldn’t speak.

You said,

 

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Being in love with you, like being in bed with you,

I’m on fire all the time, you’re to blame.

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

 

I can’t take the way you my name,

Do I make that clear?

I resist til I fall,

And the dress comes tumbling down.

I’m laying in your palm, there’s no one else around.

Maybe I could close my eyes, for just one minute.

One minute alone.

 

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Being in love with you, like being in bed with you,

I’m on fire all the time, you’re to blame.

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

 

My dreams have clouded me,

I’m so much worse than I used to be.

Sleep deprived, I lost my mind,

And I shouldn’t have over you.

 

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Being in love with you, like being in bed with you,

I’m on fire all the time, you’re to blame.

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Candle Spark

When I love you more than life itself,

I’m sure then I will die.

But when that last breath leaves me,

Just know you’ll be on my mind.

 

Love is a bullet,

Love is a knife,

It’s a candle spark in you,

Bringing you towards the light.

 

When I need you more than everything else,

I know I’ll never be satisfied,

With the long hellos and the short goodbyes,

But it’s wanting that’s keeping this fire alive.

 

Love is a bullet,

Love is a knife,

It’s a candle spark in you,

Bringing you towards the light.

 

And it grows slowly,

Like an oak tree,

My leaves just stretching for your sun,

And I move quickly,

And when I bend towards you,

I know that you’re the one.

 

Love is a bullet,

Love is a knife,

It’s a candle spark in you,

Bringing you towards the light.

Take Me Away

When  I met you I was buried in my misery

For no reason but that I could only crawl

No spine to speak of, no one to comfort me

And now you give me wings to get over that wall

 

You asked me how fast I could run

I said how fast can you chase me

 

I’m here now, never again,

Burn this building down, full of my sins.

I’m leaving now, never again,

Will you find me here, oh take me away.

 

When you met me I was drowning in myself

Clawing for life that could one day rescue me

But I found you in this hell

You are the best thing, the only thing with meaning.

 

You asked me how fast I could run

I said how fast can you chase me

 

I’m here now, never again,

Burn this building down, full of my sins.

I’m leaving now, never again,

Will you find me here, oh take me away.

 

Cause I want you to chase me,

Down.

And take me away.

Stay The Same, My Love

 

Stay the same, my love

Don’t go away

Our tiny little light, is keeping us alive

Stay the same, my love

Don’t run away

Everything they’ve seen, we’ll just put em

To shame

From Out Here

I wish that I could be more like you

Nothing ever gets to you

I wish that I could have your shock value

Nothing ever gets close to you

And I’ve been trying to get through this wall you’ve built up

But maybe now I see it’s purpose

 

I can love you

From way out here

But I can see you need me

From your invisible tears

I can love you

From way out here

But I can see you love me

Only in your fear

 

I wish that I could be more like you

Easier to understand

Cause in your distance, there’s resistance

To the softness of my hands

So you don’t get used to comfort

But I’m not going anywhere

 

I can love you

From way out here

But I can see you need me

From your invisible tears

I can love you

From way out here

But I can see you love me

Only in your fear

My Radio Star

Heroin killed the radio star

But only after she broke my, little heart

Couldn’t keep her in my music box

She was desperate for a life without love,

Woah.

 

With your rock n roll black n blues,

She was lightning war, and I was old news,

Watching from the pit with a smile on my face,

And the tear in my eye, she’ll never be replaced.

 

Heroin killed my radio star,

But only after she broke my, little heart

Couldn’t keep her in my music box

She was desperate for life out there.

Woah.

 

With your dyed red hair and your smoking patch

She was a firecracker, me a used match

I never would’ve caught her, had I run a million miles

Dragging this heavy heart through all her latest styles.

 

I never knew a girl so deep in thought,

And so cheap in words.

Layered like a rose and you can bet her thorns hurt.

The funeral was sad, and I cried myself,

Just seventeen they said, but she gave em hell.

 

Heroin killed my radio star

And in turn, broke my, little heart.

Now she sleeps in my music box

She was destined for everything more.

Woah. Woah.

 

With your rock n roll black n blues,

She was a lightning war, and I was just old news.

You were a lightning war, and I was just old news.

What You Are Praying For

Cause you’re lying right between

What’s real and what’s dream

And you can’t quite keep it apart.

We’ve seen them do it wrong.

But they think they’ve got it right.

I’ll just keep holding on.

Saying anything to change your mind.

 

Woah. Woah. Woah.

Woah. Woah. Woah.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you won’t look harder,

Won’t look harder.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you barely notice anymore

That I’m still dying to be what

You’re praying for.

 

Yeah, we’ve been distracted.

But they’ve given up.

I’ll still make this last cause,

Now it’s all I know.

Oh finally, finally.

It’s done and it’s finished,

But they start it again,

Cause it’s not quite perfect.

I’m not quite perfect.

 

Woah. Woah. Woah.

Woah. Woah. Woah.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you won’t look harder,

Won’t look harder.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you barely notice anymore

That I’m still dying to be what

You’re praying for.

 

Dont, give up, on me.

Woah. Woah. Woah.

Woah. Woah. Woah.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you won’t look harder,

Won’t look harder.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you barely notice anymore

That I’m still dying to be what

You’re praying for.

Christmas Wishlist (Video)

It's an old song, that I wrote and recorded over christmas break. Don't know why I never put it up. The lyrics are on here but I thought I'd put up the music version. :)?

For This Oxygen

Your face told a story

That my books never could.

But you were never careful

Of the lessons you were teaching.

Your trouble clouded me

From being who I was.

You burned your memories

Into my eyes, they’re all I see.

 

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again,

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of trying to be you.

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again.

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of wanting to be you.

 

There’s gold in misery,

But there’s more in happiness.

You never told me that,

My tears had strength in them.

That’s all they wanted.

To be caught.

You couldn’t give me that.

Though I’d give you anything.

Though I gave you everything.

 

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again,

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of trying to be you.

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again.

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of wanting to be you.

 

And I’ll burn, myself out.

No need to set me on fire.

Oh I’ll let, myself out.

No need to help me,

You wouldn’t dare.

 

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again,

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of trying to be you.

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again.

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of wanting to be you.

Never Looked Back

With all the problems in my head

It’s a wonder I can keep a straight face

Don’t you agree that it’s not real

Cause confirmation is exactly what I’ll never need

All the time that I spend chasing

The answers to my questions down

I find more questions that need answers

I find more silence in my sound

 

Mistake me for my voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

And now I’m up so high.

Mistake this for your voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

You always looked the other way,

Oh, so I just never looked back.

 

With the all people in  my way

It’s a winder I can never get to you

Please don’t agree that none of them are real

Our arguements are now what I live for.

All the time I spend chasing,

Chasing you down,

I find more secrets that you kept from me

More things to figure out.

 

Mistake me for my voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

And now I’m up so high.

Mistake this for your voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

You always looked the other way,

Oh, so I just never looked back.

 

I don’t sound like myself, tonight.

I don’t look like myself in the candlelight.

I don’t sound like myself tonight,

Woah.

I don’t sound like myself, tonight.

I don’t look like myself in the candlelight,

I don’t sound like myself tonight,

So I’ll burn it down, start all over,

And never,

Look,

Back.

 

Mistake me for my voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

And now I’m up so high.

Mistake this for your voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

You always looked the other way,

Oh, so I just never looked back.

When It Gets This Way

My sleep is restless with out you

Being restless next to me

I know you’re coming back

But when your gone,

The minutes feel like eternity.

I shouldn’t miss you quite this bad.

You know it’s torture, when it get’s this way.

 

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I won’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Mean it, you have to mean it.

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I can’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Hear it, I have to hear it.

 

I counted my weaknesses today

You kept coming to mind.

But you’re my every strength

So how can that be,

How could I confuse that.

I shouldn’t miss you quite this bad.

You know it’s torture, when it gets that way.

 

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I won’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Mean it, you have to mean it.

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I can’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Hear it, I have to hear it.

 

I don’t know why,

They’ve said it before,

All the ghosts.

But maybe from you,

It’d be the truth,

It’d mean the most.

 

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I won’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Mean it, you have to mean it.

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I can’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Hear it, I have to hear it.
