They all told me this is how you grow
Follow the lines in a steady road
Don’t go getting clever
As you go gray and you get weak
You can only fight disease
You can’t be young forever
Yeah whatever wait and see
In my leather jacket and jeans
Young forever with my black converse on
We’re the beggars we’re the jokes
In these rooms that matter most
Place the mirrors cue the smoke
Like an actor up at night
Memorizing unused lines
To just be front and center
I still believe that each small part
Could be enough could be the spark
The start of something better
Yeah whatever wait and see
In my leather jacket and jeans
Young forever with my black converse on
We’re the beggars we’re the jokes
In these rooms that matter most
Place the mirrors cue the smoke
Even right before the finish line
As I’m half awake you won’t change my mind

Back to Her

You’re safe right here
Don’t move you’re good
You’re warm you’re fine
Happy most the time
But if you could you would
And if you would you should
Go back to her
Back to her
Back in her arms
Back in her bed
Back to the life you used to live
You should go back
Go on go back to her
So I won’t stay
Won’t steal your name
Cause we both know
You’re happy most the time
But if you could you would
And if you would you should
Go on convince that I’m wrong
Hold me ‘til the feelings gone
Go on do it, go on do it
Won’t throw your clothes out on the lawn
Tattoo your name or make this hard
Go on do it, go on do it….

As a kid I’d perform for the posters on my wall
My parents were proud, they’d listen from the hall
Some nights I could even hear them sing-a-long
Now every few weeks their lucky if I call
Watch me glow
How do I still wanna be as bright
As a California wildfire
When we all burn out the way it goes
It’s inevitable
Lately I can’t even light the room
I’m a shadow in the afternoon
We all burn out the way it goes
It’s inevitable
What if all I ever wanted was to sing out on the street
In an old Italian town where every dinner is a feast
Would I be okay would that be enough
Would I look left and right, would I just feel stuck
I don’t know
How do I still wanna be as bright...
Spreading smoking raging
Through these hills so fast
My horizons changing
Covered up with ash

Doctor Please

I don’t believe in heaven
How am I gonna get through this
Brother lend me light
When they hand me darkness
Tell us something good Doctor please
Tell us something good Doctor lie
Has it all been a waste
Down on our knees
Tell us something good Doctor please
Sister when you’re praying
Could you pray for me
‘Cause I don’t know that song
Those chords or that key
Tell us something good Doctor please
Tell us something good Doctor lie
Has it all been a waste
Down on our knees
Tell us something good Doctor please
I wish it were simple
I didn’t wear his watch
Mother can you hear me
Do my words get lost
Tell us something good Doctor, please
Tell us something good Doctor lie
Has it all been a waste
Down on our knees
Tell us something good Doctor please

Great Escape

How was I to know it was never in my hands this whole time
Something in the water in my bloodline
Giving up control as it wraps itself around my bones
Filling up my lungs just one more time
I find it hard to breathe
As it pulls me underneath
It’s alright you don’t have to worry at all
‘Cause sometimes it’s better if I just let go into…
The great escape
The great escape
Ride the waves
Ride the waves
Into the great escape
Lying in the dark with my ankles crossed and hands on my heart
Something in my head isn’t quite right
I’m ripping from the seams
As I hide beneath the sheets
It’s alright you don’t have to worry at all
‘Cause sometimes it’s better if I just let go into...
The great escape
The great escape
Ride the waves
Ride the waves
Into the great escape
been a long time coming
Never thought it be me
In the great escape
The great escape
Under the waves
I’ll be safe
In the great escape
