for hailey and bryce
another sleepless january
the snow falls on my heart
the calendar is empty
and it's tearing me apart
cause all the sleep i've lost
makes up for all the dreams i've left behind
and honestly i'm losing
everything, i thought i had my mind
so this is where you left me
lying on the floor
i thought you'd come and get me
and we'd be better than before
but suddenly i'm dreaming
wake me before it's too late
cause i don't wanna miss
any single thing you say to me
i never thought
sleep was something you could forget how to do
but here we are
writing songs at 3 in the morning
sometimes i think i'd be better off
sleeping in a nice box in the ground
never knowing what dreams that may come
i hope you would still come around

for my old friends
crazy, lately it seems that i'd do anything for you
baby, save me from all that i am cause i wanna be like you
some nights, i hope you sleep inside my mind, stay that way
be that kind, with plastic eyes to occupy space
between the halo and your face
cause i'm the one who says i'm not done
stop playing games i thing that i am in love
just playing and pointing guns
you love him best because just cause he calls you back
let's call it quits too bad you won't get jack
because he's not coming back
skin and bone tonight
i'm an addict and they can see it
body like a ghost
cause you know that it sucks to be alone
no soul tonight is gonna love like this
i'm a cannibal i'm a masochist
so please don't go but walk out quick
cause i'm so young i got my life to quit
we had so much fun but now i'm killing my kids
with the second hand smoke and the back of my fist
now i'm by myself but that's okay
she said she loves me again, i said i'll push you away
you're the bomb to my chest, blow up in my face
an old man tonight he says love's so lame
he takes photographs he cannot sustain
no one, no one, no one, no one is the same
he stays inside to keep them safe

for you
to you i seem invincible but to me i am invisible
and i don't think i can get this right
simple as a video game distract me from the pain
just an empty pipe to my insides
hey hey hey hey
your father called today
you oo oo oo
he said she needs something new
and maybe that something isn't you
maybe, sometimes, i tried to tell the truth
maybe, sometimes, i rubbed off on you
hey there delilah get away from me
i'll eat you up and spit you out
can't you see?
i know that love's commendable
but i'll leave you cause i'm cynical
and i don't think i can get this right
i want you to know
that i honestly have to go
before i make up
lies to bring you home
and i am terrified of going home alone tonight
i'd hate to think this song won't change your mind
hey hey hey hey
your friends asked me to date
you oo oo oo
what happened to you?
have you made friends with all this time you spent alone?
i said maybe, sometimes, she calls me on the phone
maybe, sometimes, i'm glad you're not alone
sometimes, maybe, we're already old
sometimes, maybe, i'm sad down to my bones
please come home
hey there delilah get away from me
(simple as a video game distract me from the pain)
i'll eat you up and spit you out why can't you see?
(just an empty pipe to my insides)

for them
tell them to stay outside
she's praying, please don't die
so i held you again to let you know
said you'd find my eyes in the kids we sow
standing all alone
keep quiet and make it loud
with silence to shut my mouth
and it kills me to say i'm the only one
cause nobody wants to sing alone
down down down down down
in the deep stuff
down down down down down
was it all so tough
someday i'll be home soon
by the grace of god beneath you
some habits i just can't quit
like making promises to live
with so many ways to take a life
the things that you say they do it fine
with somebody else that made you a queen
was the diamond he got you too heavy to swing?
but family
down down down down down
felt like two tons
down down down down down
spilling all my guts
the xanax makes you happy
(but your mind is somewhere lonely)
you'd apologize but you're choking on pills
(leave agony here)
the medicine men well, they fix ya up real good
(the living dead the only)
gave you medicine head now ya act like you should
(all shaking and hooked)
down down down down down
she was too young
down down down down down
and the medicine won
down down down down down
it was all in love
