Children of the Night

I've been waking up at 2am
and praying to a God I don't believe in.
Is it wrong having all these nightmares?
Is it wrong to be so afraid of dying?
What if my train has left or if I missed the boat?
Or the place I end up just wasn't my own?
This life is for gamblers, the lucky ones get something to show.
I've been down on my luck and singing these songs.
Heartbreak and anguish, and all that went wrong.
I could write you a verse of a grim sing along.
An hour from now I'll be alone at the bar.
And all of my friends will be on their way home,
I'll be right where I started, just drunk and alone.
Looking for answers haunting our minds,
Just children of the night.
I've been waking up at 2am and trying to pull myself back together
There's a hundred pieces laying on the floor,
I'm just trying to make 'em all fit.
What if I am the reason?
What if I can't be saved?
What if my ship is sinking to some deep watery grave?
This life is for martyrs, I ain't got one good thing to say.

Sirens

I haven't heard her name since the day that I was born.
I know she meant the world to you, but those were many years before.
Does she come to you like a siren in the night?
Does she whisper in your ear and say all will be alright.
There's a fondness in the future in terms of never looking back.
It's hard to shake the feeling that things were never meant to last.
As she stood there beside of you and gave you everything she had,
Soon she'd cash out all those promises and turn a different hand.
I know you're bleeding so lets cauterize the wounds.
If this feels like dying, well sometimes you're meant to lose.
Just don't look back into this twisted burning mess
Where all your vows were stolen and thrown to hell
I prayed that god would help my heart to heal
but ll I heard was ringing in my ears
all I heard was ringing in my ears

The branches are tapping outside of my window
They're trying to lure me down to the shore
They used to call you blue eyes
They should have named you after a storm
I thought I had roots in reflection
I'm still bailing water out of this hull
You came to me last night in this song I wish I wrote
About tail lights, and how everybody goes
I wrote this song about forgiveness, but I rewrote all the words
I thought we we were covering ground, we were just driving in reverse
I had five star plans for us, I left my three star heart in charge
I lit the fuse with the last cigarette that I smoked
God damn we looked good as it all fell apart
I never looked back, and I never called 'cause I didn't wanna know
Sometimes I wondered but I had reminders of learning to float through the storm
If I saw you out there ready to jump I just hope I could let it all go
I don't know. I don't know.

I've known trouble since I was young
Dancing with the Devil seemed to get the best of us
I've tried forgetting all I've done
I left my bottles empty, yeah I drained them of their blood
I'm tired of living like a tomb
Pacing through this house, searching for the truth
I don't know what I hoped to find
Digging through the pieces of a life I left behind
I've always shown a dirty light
Rough around the edges, tossing loaded dice
Pleaing I wont just survive
Pleading I'm not wasting all I've got left in my life
Who I am, and who I was don't seem to matter anymore
I've tried redemption but I'm not begging on my knees
My patchwork heart got stitches for the both of us now
I believe the dark is my disease

Say Anything

When we were young, we used to speed on through the night
We would listen to a mix-tape made on someones borrowed time
And there I was in someone else's shoes
Staring out the window with his words still in this room
And you, you used to sing with every word that you knew
About how he would walk through hell just for you
When we were young, we used to dream about the future
We would talk with restless hearts about the endless time we had
And there I was, I was high next to a fire
Praying for a sign, afraid to come back down to earth
I knew we were running out of time
So I said all the wrong words I could find
I don't know why I didn't just go
I believed this pain was all my own
I know some people are meant for more
I was just another door slammed closed
So drag my body from this small town I called home
I was always closed up like a drunk inside a bar
Afraid to open up, afraid to show off all my scars
I won't live forever, never thought I'd make it far
I won't live forever, never thought I'd make it far
From this small town I called home
