I don’t want to race you but I will
I don’t want to chase you but you won’t stand still
I’ll do anything you ask of me
Every time you look away
Binds me closer with each passing day
I am yours to take
if you want me to go
Round and round until we’re lost
I can find you in the dark
I will keep you in my heart
Never letting go
never let you know
I keep you in my heart
Whisper to the night
the secrets I keep inside
Oh…bah da da da da da da da da
I don’t want to race you, but I will
I don’t want to chase you, but you won’t stand still
I’ll do anything you ask of me
Round and round until we’re lost
I can find you in the dark
I can keep you in my heart
Never letting go
I’ll never let you know
I will keep you in my heart

Out of sorts
sort it out
not the fox
not the hound
Nothing to say
so say it again
stuck with what you get
you get what you’re stuck with
load it up
a minor crush
soon enough
oblivion
Nothing to say
so say it again
stuck with what you get
you get what you’re stuck with
Is this real?
How can you tell?
Is this real?
How can you tell?
Is this real?
How can you tell?
Is this real?
How can you tell?

And our shoes are getting scuffed
from picking up the crumbs
the champagne gone straight to our heads
all the boys and the jazz and gin
you know…
shoved down our throats
high and low oh, oh…
A pound for every second
we spend scraping up our pence
a crust of bread, a missing letter
forgetting all the things you never knew
we didn’t know
we didn’t know
high and low oh oh…
Picking off what’s left of the rest of us
and selling it off to the wolves
it goes on and on and on and on
falling off the bone
the trash I find and I got mine
and I’m hanging onto it like it’s gold
high & low, oh
we didn’t know…
Standing in the dark
among the haunted books
and…Oh My God! Is that DeNiro?
throwing up our hands with the last drinks
down our throats
it’s all too much
high and low oh oh…
Cutting up the best of what’s left of us
and selling it off to the wolves
it goes on and on and on and on
falling all over the floor
I got my pride and I’ve lost mine
so forget about the rest of the world
high & low, oh
we didn’t know…

If I’m bored, I must be awake
they’re calling out for blood, and that’s what they expect
I gave you a warning, under my breath
I gave you a warning, in my head…
You’re talking with your hands, and it’s keeping me awake
we are creatures of habit, so many habits we have to tame
I gave you a warning, in my head
I gave you a warning, under my breath
There’s nothing wrong with talking just to talk
there’s nothing wrong with talking to the walls
there’s nothing wrong with talking just to talk
there’s nothing wrong with talking to the walls
on and on and on and on and on…
on and on and on and on and on…
There’s a full moon out tonight, and I’m half asleep
you’re talking with your hands, and I can’t hear myself think
I gave you a warning, you ran away instead
I gave you a warning, under my breath
There’s nothing wrong with talking to the walls
there’s nothing wrong with talking just to talk
there’s nothing wrong with talking just to talk
there’s nothing wrong with talking to the walls
on and on and on and on and on….
on and on and on and on and on….
on and on and on and on and on….

Date With Dirt
03:25

crazy by association
bullshit & pain
and it’s only Monday yet
grind it out
before it grinds you down
keep up the hustle
or get hustled yourself
this scam is nearly at an end.
Talk for hours
trying to loosen my tongue
sweat out the memories
sweating out of me.
Still tearing through this town
and my head’s spinning out
but I know it’s not the same.
Soon enough, a date with dirt,
keeping the world at bay,
your sharp words
are no match for our sharp fangs.
Talk for hours,
trying to shake off the rust
sweat out the memories
sweating out of me
Sydney says good night
worn thin, but we’re not done just yet
adrenaline, through the sky
but we’re not done just yet.
Talk for hours,
waiting to sober me up
Talk for hours
I’ve said too much
Talk for hours,
trying to shake off the rust
Talk for hours
the world’s had enough…

I am submerged, short of breath
the dirty water, at the bottom where I’ve slept
let us be brave
let us be reckless
the fickle offspring, of restlessness
we were meant to collide
getting faster, there’s not much time
Dark days, no end in sight
waiting to collapse, the end of time
let us be silence
let us be none
silly boy, it’s all too much
faking my dreams, to stay alive
losing touch, there’s not much time
perfect shackles, forced into bed
mumbled decision, both unfulfilled
let us be blood
the unbegotten
the perfect life, that never was
pressing my cheek back inside
a fading heart, there’s not much time

Lonely Bells

And hey, don’t slow down
and hey, don’t you ever slow down
I’ve seen lights I never thought would go out
I’ve seen sights and I’m not coming down
And hey, don’t turn around
and hey, don’t you ever turn around
We’ve been behind since we started out
Shot on sight and forgotten about
I’ve laid eyes on every bastard in town
I’ve picked fights on every corner around
And hey, don’t doubt
And hey, don’t whisper a doubt
I survived in the shadows around
I’ve lost sight and I’ve lost count
And hey, don’t slow down
and hey, don’t you ever slow down
And hey, don’t slow down
and hey, don’t you ever slow down
And hey, don’t slow down

Never letting go
I’ll never let you know
I will keep you in my heart
