Alive In Wild Paint Album

I helped you out of your self and right back in
You say it’s foolish but there’s something that you miss
You want a car with a clean interior
I’ve been far but it’s never been serious
Take your time to arrive
We move slow down the roads with the lights out
You whisper soft, if we’re lost don’t turn around
We’ll take our time to arrive
Where we are
There are no ceilings where we are
I could be anywhere as long as I’m with you
We watch the sky from the side of the interstate
And recite favorite lines from the songs that play
We took our time to arrive
Where we are
There are no ceilings where we are
I could be anywhere as long as I’m with you
And when you look at me I believe
I’ll always be high when I’m with you

In all the violent loud and bright
Are you more alive
You crush it down in gentle breaths
Til it breaths just right
Don't you feel love
Don't you feel so much better now that you can't see through
Nothing can reach you
You stay awake for several days cause nothing sounds right
Sometimes some time is all it takes to change your mind
Aching in the absence
Wondering where you've been
You hardly lift
Will you always be the one who wants to love but never will

God gave me a gun
Said take everyone
Standing in the way
Of what you really want
So I took his advice
Yeah, I never thought twice
Headed out to find
To find a Victim
An if I never run
Out of ammunition
I'll just keep shooting
Cause I'm the only one
That likes to see myself hurting
God played me a song
Said sing along
How fragile is the sound
When no one is around
You keep so damn confused
By love you always lose
But child it's what you choose
Lost and lying on the ground
LyricsSo I rose up and danced
Like an angel with a broken body
Eyes turning to glass
To run the rain across my face
Streets held out their hands
To lead me back to my sweet manger
And tuck me into my flesh
Where I woke up to an answered prayer

Tells me she's got an anxious disease
It's keeping her up from sleep
It's nothing to do with me
Just a pill that she'll always need
She knows not what she's doing
Just that she can't stop
All good things in time
Honey I never realized
Everything was better on its way
I love you but I'll never stay
In the bedroom she takes down all of her clothes
Lies to the floor cause she knows
Everything's falling and she doesn't want to stand alone
Even if the world stands still
You will always feel behind

Pigment pale and figure frail
I feel your hands tremble in mine
As you rest your head on the motel bed
Asking what's left behind
When you take a bow
And the curtains close
They will applaud you for playing the role
Of a wretched child
With a bleeding nose
An empty stomach and beautiful clothes
Who's to tell of the quiet hell
Cast in your soul
Burning you down
A patient too sick to wait
You sought to medicate
You meant to feel better
But all you feel is nothing now

Fools rushing out and in
Like a pool cue through fingers split
And merge the traffic
Separate indulgence from the addicts
Couldn't help themselves
Couldn't help myself
Couldn't make enough to share with you
Crawls out from between my teeth
And infests our body
Kiss those imperfections cleen
But they don't rinse out
Gonna cut them out
Gonna cut myself
Gonna make enough to share with you

You were starving yourself in the name
Of anyone and anything
That you thought could lose the love you saved
Quickly comes the wrecking ball
Tearing you like tired walls
Crumbling with all you had to give
Builds you back as something new
With skin that don’t remember you
Paints you in an awful place to live
When you start feeling like a stranger to yourself
And missing who you were before you became someone else
I’ll be sleeping with my soul in
Scared to death you’re waking up to nothing again
In a blur your days confuse
The faces staring back at you
For angels that used to share your bed
While things you never thought you’d do
And paths you never thought you’d choose
Are becoming all of you that’s left

Fog keeps to this cty
Like shame down on your sundays
How quickly you forget that it exists
Takes remnders that your best is always intercepted
By the skeptics to keep you where you are
Nowhere
In a loft above the station
Where the window wastes your patience
Away from all affection
Losing faith in a connection
You keep to his body
Like rain down on your sundays
How quickly he forgets that you exist
And he never comes alive
Quite the way you'd like
It keeps you where you are
And no one asks you down
And no one takes you out
Just waste all of your patience
In a loft above the station
Come down for me

I've been sailing for so long
I don't recall what I set out for
I'd trade this disbelieving sea
To make peace upon your shore
Waves carry me out
Like the breaking of day
Darkness peels away
By the dimmest light
And it's fear of what the sun would see
Beckoning me into the tide
Waves carry me out
Where you're not

We are children of divorce
Spiritual mothers
Chemical fathers
Wish I learned to love you more
Lonesome brothers
Trustless daughters

We are children born of wars
Fought in places
For the faces
Where happiness is sold in stores
They’ll keep you smiling
If you keep buying

But they can’t take from you
Something inside you never knew
You always have too much to prove
And never have enough to lose

I seem to see everything you do

LyricsWe are the unwritten scrolls
Background songs
For dialogues
Always wanting something more
To be the stars
The light shines on

But they can’t take from you
Something inside you never knew
You have nothing to prove
And oh, you have so much to lose

I seem to see everything you do

My dreams are breaking fevers
lying on a death bed
Crying at the mirror
in moments of reflection

Nothing lasts forever
it’s foolish to expect it
Surely as it’s leaving
sometimes all we’re left is

A cold spell
casting over everything we’ve felt
When there’s no one left to tell
I keep it to myself
wanting anything else

Back home
I don’t have a backbone
Can anyone remind me
of who I was a year ago
Before sad love
Lyricssounded better than the lack of
Cause now I'm just alone

& it's a cold spell
casting over everything we’ve felt
When there’s no one left to tell
I keep it to myself
wanting anything else.

I don't want anything else...

I never meant to leave dear
I just thought I would arrive
But it seems here
I'm never quite alive
Where you are
The room won't fill with light
But an absence that makes its way into mine
I'll share your ghost tonight
I'll never fall asleep
Til dark divorces the sky
When I lie still
My thoughts crawl back to your side
I'll share your ghost tonight
