Trapped in a Matchstick Man 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Your stories told Through the rearview They leak it from your throat Bright red goes the stoplight They're coming from behind And who you gonna call? Who you gonna call!? Guard yourself Around here we play for souls Let it leak out slow We won't let go Let it leak out slow We're all trapped inside these matchstick men The fire Is colors we can't see The smoke makes designs that don't come out so clearly Guard yourself... Around here we play for souls Let it leak out slow We won't let go Let it leak out slow Your empty bodies past Has left me scraping imperfections with my teeth Scraping imperfections on your grave And the smell of sweet enamel Is sure to remind you That ill be here And my jaw won't forget I'll be here My jaw won't forget I won't forget I won't forget I won't, no Guard yourself... Around here we play for souls Let it leak out slow We won't let go Let it leak out slow

Light greets me But it's too overwhelming Held and passed With words and laughs Why do these arms feel so familiar? Brother, take my hand! You guide me home And shield the wrong Brother, take my hand! You guide me home And shield the wrong Brother, take my... Steve Pic: This brotherhood forsakes So untie me Letting it go, killing brothers I know So wake me up This brotherhood forsakes! So keep it... Why don't you just keep it low? So wake me up His conscience is breaking The words are not escaping So take me, it's easy This leaves you with nothing His words are so unloving So can't you follow through? Brother, take my hand! You guide me home And shield the wrong Brother, take my hand! You guide me home And shield the wrong Shield the The first light showed me life Twice as bright Lost his mind But last night we learned to dance this pure face tastes metal destiny Tied down by flesh and blood As I lay, as I lay Shaking tracks, slap me awake Rushing light, take me away Rushing light Rushing

Sell me smiles in blue bottles for bad hair days The counter calls when burdens cross Sell me smiles Swallow up Tears of joy stream from my numbing brain Swallow up You'll turn to stone if you keep making that You sell me fantasy You sell the death of me I love you My new best friend Don't leave me Breathing parts the silence painfully Without you here again Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Sell me smiles in blue bottles For bad hair days! The counter calls when burdens cross Sell me smiles! Swallow up Tears of joy stream from my numbing brain Swallow up You'll turn to stone if you keep making that Woah "Every year ten million prescription medications are filled incorrectly" Calm me, numb me It lives my life Takes my control Writes these songs

The Art of Killing a Butterfly (Without Destroying It) 03:02
lyrics

Now here's a little story My dad told His greatest life secret Unfolds In this world Where everything's been said What can I come up with every line sounds the same So I try to write it down Some words come out Bigger then others Cause I think too far ahead You can't see Cause I can see Better then I see my own Attraction gets the best of me My thoughts are accident-prone But you're too wrong for me You left me alone with bedroom photos Left to cure the cuts Drowned under These false hopes That numbs your bones Drowned under Make way for Way for Cut me up, Eddie Cut me up Just like your blush Cut me up Start with my hair Cut it off Then off my tattoos Strip them She made me so plain Plain! So I'll dress the part Dress it She put out my spark Put out my... Spark

Your sleeves Are so cliche So I wear it on my face Abusing your control Yet again, and again! You abuse You abuse Stumbling cross white lines When your mistakes Speak from under these boards I still wore your ring One phone call away From starting again Chalk outlines Lay in my hall Our crazy play Strike poses on the floor I'll breathe you in To rest my throat Anesthesia my only hopes You abuse You abuse Stumbling cross white lines When your mistakes Speak from under these boards I still wore your ring One phone call away From starting again Your sleeves are so cliche So I wear it on my face Abusing your control yet again, and again Your sleeves are so cliche So I wear it on my face Abusing your control yet again, and again You Abuse Your Control You See My Face So everyone runs But I'll never see you again Again Everyone runs But I'll catch you Now Again and again

We got past The leaves fall It's just in time To fly And after all We're all alone With worries worthless again And after all Things won't fix themselves All around lay to waste Long drives, close friends, cold nights Tend to make me sing to myself, sing to myself Small towns, old friends, crosswalks Tend to make me sing to myself, sing to myself When we locked eyes on your fight Glass separates our minds, and lives Spread arms, great concrete blindly Fly, girl, fly Glass saves lives And after all We're all alone With worries worthless again And after all Things won't fix themselves! All around lay to waste We got past The leaves fall! Just in time to fly Fly, girl, fly When we locked eyes on your fight Glass separates our minds, and lives We got past The leaves fall Worries worthless again Just in time to fly Sit around and lay to waste When we locked eyes on your fight
