No Knocks Tonight

How the hell did I become so weak
Another heavy hearted kid with too much room to breathe
If I were anybody else - I'd praise the room for sleep
I refuse to sign
Any arbitrary dotted line
And we both know we're in the red
The attic door is locked just wait 'till I get in
I won't let you take all my vanity
So in return I'll make men into monsters
They say we outgrew the city
But I know damn well
The city outgrew me
I may be overanalytic
But acidic is the tone in which you speak
No knocks tonight, no knocks tonight
No knocks tonight, no knocks tonight
NO! NO! NO!
They say we outgrew the city
But I know damn well
The city outgrew me
I praise the room to breathe
That bag of bones has got its own demons too
And they're right next to you
Turn the lights off and you'll see them too
They say we outgrew the city
But I know damn well
The city outgrew me
I may be overanalytic
But acidic is the tone in which you speak
They say we outgrew the city
But I know damn well
The city outgrew me
I praise the room to breathe
No knocks tonight, no knocks tonight
No knocks tonight, no knocks tonight
NO! NO! NO!

Garnish Our Love

Garnish our love
Like the bank did our wages
Highlighted x's - to sign so many pages
I don't want to. I don't want to. I don't want to.
Honestly my honesty
The bane of my insecurity
Cuts me down like contracts of compromise - compromise
So lift me up on a pedestal of gold
The pit and peak of the young and old
Dress me up, strip me down
From your wedding to your hospital gown
Either way we'll hit the ground
Tell me about how you nestle in the hands that you fold
You've got a good bluff it's brash and bold
Are we both blind?
No, it's plain as day to see
I don't care about our history
I care about you and me
Here I am labeled as a cancer
In fear the man
Vying for his answers
In retreat to his backseat release
Baby I'm easy to please
Selling myself further than tricks up my sleeve
When you leave, pay or play
Either way you're filled with whore and peace
Your pockets run deep
I won't be your charity
I burned my bridges, so I learned how to swim
I learned how to swim
I burned all my fucking bridges so I learned how to swim
I learned how to swim
Here I am labeled as a cancer
In fear the man
Vying for his answers
In retreat to his backseat release
Baby I'm easy to please

Take Me

It started with a turn of attention
And we go on, and go on, and go on
Now this is my intervention
Move along, move along, move along
I hear an echo in an empty room
We crowd the walls with unsteady moves
Who's to say there's someone next to you?
We slip away like a shadow at noon
Come on, come on, come on, a little closer
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, a little closer
Come on, come on, come on
Take me, take me
I'm tripping over the fight
Take me, take me
Make me, make me
The only heat of the night
We run the race to new heights
Let's get you out of the cold
Where your sighs aren't so visible
Keep words to a minimal
You're running your mouth, so slowly south
Showing me no doubt
And I have the time
To get you out of the spotlight
Grab your things, and we'll go
To better weather we know
And break the ice that we froze
Come on, come on, come on, a little closer
Come on, come on, come on
And it's sad but true
All the old eyes in the new room
Want a vendetta with the other you
We take a chance another run at noon, a run at you
Let's get you out of the cold
Where your sighs aren't so visible
Keep words to a minimal
You're running your mouth, so slowly south
Showing me no doubt
And I have the time
To get you out of the spotlight
Grab your things, and we'll go
To better weather we know
And break the ice that we froze
Come on, come on, come on, a little closer
Come on. come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, a little closer
Come on. come on, come on, come on (x2)
Take me, make me
The only heat of the night
Let's get you out of the cold
Where your sighs aren't so visible
Keep words to a minimal
You're running your mouth, so slowly south
Showing me no doubt
And I have the time
To get you out of the spotlight
Grab your things, and we'll go
To better weather we know
And break the ice that we froze

Ghost Town
03:38

This is where I make my fall
A dark room with neon walls
Staring to the street where innocence comes to meet
The devil in us all
And with an over analytical heart like mine
I've been talking such a big game
But I'm sitting on the sidelines
And the crowd is mine
You talk a big game, but mine is bigger
White knuckles on the second hand
That's on the trigger
I figured fitting your fingers around mine
Finding out finally
That now's not the time
Love me all night long
Love me all night in a ghost town
The ghost town in us all
This is where I make my fall
Your winters' heart grows small
Sitting in your silhouetted summer skin
The gold rushes on as the wind rolls in
You talk a big game, but mine is bigger
White knuckles on the second hand
That's on the trigger
I figured fitting your fingers around mine
Finding out finally
That now's not the time
Love me all night long
Love me all night in a ghost town
Love me all night long
Love me all night in a ghost town
The ghost town in us all
You said that that we're buried on the front lines
So deep that we keep digging 'till the sun won't shine
It's not like we're both blind, no
It's plain as day to see
I don't care about our history
I care about you and me (x2)
Love me all night long
Love me all night in a ghost town
The ghost town in us all (x2)

Not Enough Rain

Coming in last but I'm running in place
And covered in glass, 'cause I'm already wasted
Too much too soon for a sunday morning
Too much too soon for a sunday morning
Coming in last but I'm running in place
And covered in glass, 'cause I'm already wasted
Too much too soon for a sunday morning
Too much too soon for a sunday morning
Why do I assume, I assume, I assume
Why do I assume, I assume, I assume
Everyone in this room is you
Not enough rain to check my plans
And not enough sane to save a man
Will you let me in? Please let me in
I'm not a man, I'm a sinner with skin
Not enough rain to check my plans
And not enough sane to save a man
Will you let me in? Please let me in
I'm not a man, I'm a sinner with skin
I might be - losing all credibility
Look at me, do you see?
I tremble on
Shake my head and tremble on
I won't second guess
Your blind faith but sometimes just a test
Of luck is all it takes
Some times a little love it takes
Luck can make
Not enough rain to check my plans
And not enough sane to save a man
Will you let me in? Please let me in
I'm not a man, I'm a sinner with skin
Not enough rain to check my plans
Not enough rain to check my plans
Not enough rain to check my plans
And not enough sane to save a man
Will you let me in? Please let me in
I'm not a man, I'm a sinner with skin
Not enough rain to check my plans
And not enough sane to save a man
Will you let me in? Please let me in
I'm not a man, I'm a sinner with skin
