Track Name: Selling Silence
They've found the pretense
It's all making sense
There's no hidden meaning at all
We're selling silence
Track Name: Better Than I
It’s barely been bottled in all her life
And she’s always been out on a limb, trying to try
Well what are you waiting for as the years and the tears they flood the floor?
You’ve always been better than them, better than I
She said,

This love is driving me insane
Running through my veins, pouring on the page in your name
It fades out like a hand grenade, I know that you relate
But still I’m breathin’

The summer ends, the storms begin when the fall is coming
I know you feel like you’re standing still though you hit the ground running
But it’s not the first or last time, it’s not the way to define a lifetime
You’ve always been better than them, better than I
She said,

This love is driving me insane
Running through my veins, pouring on the page in your name
It fades out like a hand grenade, I know that you relate
But still I’m breathin’

But still I’m breathin’ hiding from the season
I’m hiding from you
Still I’m breathin’ faster for some reason
Because you told me to…

It’s barely been bottled in all her life
But she’s always been out on a limb, trying to try
She says,

This love is driving me insane
Running through my veins, pouring on the page in your name
It fades out like a hand grenade, I know that you relate
But still I’m breathin’

I’m breathin
Track Name: Sabotage Saves
I will let you down
I know how it sounds
I’m just purposely thinking out loud
So take it in while you can
As the bottom glass fills with the sand
Just don’t expect to ever really quite understand

It’s not the first time sabotage saved the life that we’ve made
Just when things are goin our way we set em aflame
And we defend the err in our ways all of our days
It’s not the first time sabotage saved

So take stock of all your friends
A perspective it could be the end
Take your redemption, make your amends
And consider it a blessing too
That the stars don’t align for you
Nothing is sacred, none of this is true

It’s not the first time sabotage saved the life that we’ve made
Just when things are going our way we set ‘em aflame
And we defend the err in our ways all of our days
It’s not the fist time sabotage saved
Track Name: Whatever's Left
Live on, until the summer’s gone
then vanish with the season
Dream on, ‘til the dreams start shedding blood
and nightmares take over your thinkin’

It’s selfish souls like me that haunt your every dream

I know, you’re running harder every day
without looking over your back
I know, it’s the part you’re forced to play
and I’m the one that gave you that task

Though you know I’m tired of running too
unless it’s back to you

Keep my steady pulse
Keep my every breath
Keep my only thought
And whatever’s left
Track Name: I Won't, We Won't
So raise a glass to the ones who’ve passed through and on
Pour out the last and tell a story that will keep us strong
We live through lifetimes every day
“No compromise,” it’s so damn cliché
But that’s what I take away

So we shout and drain our lungs, I won’t forget!
Convince ourselves and everyone, We won’t forget!

So troubled times they lead to troubled minds more often than not
When in decline we should be in our prime, but we’re not
I’ve learned a lot from my friends and foe
Mostly things I didn’t want to know
How to let them down slow

So we shout and drain our lungs, I won’t forget!
Convince ourselves and everyone, We won’t forget!

How you left with out hello
I could swear you were here an hour ago
but I’ve been low, and I don’t know

So we shout and drain our lungs, I won’t forget!
Convince ourselves and everyone, We won’t forget!
Track Name: Not Without a Fight
Life on a winter’s day, everything still melts away with you
And it’s honestly a mystery how you’ve kept the floor from falling through

I’m sure the ghosts that torment me will return, but not tonight

We’ve been through the tides, we almost drowned but for now we’re still alive
And when we’re back on shore we’ll do everything we said we’d do and more

I’m sure the ghosts that torment me will return
To claim my sanity as well as yours
But the stars are ours and the sounds are in our sight
So not without a fight.
Track Name: Start a Life, Start a Fire, Start the Funeral
Start a life, start a fire, start the funeral
I was right, you’re a liar and everything beautiful
that was in you is gone
Traditions carry on and on and on

This closet’s overfilled with skeletons
and things that we don’t do when we say we will
and I’ve had about my fill of holding on
to the hopes, the broken dreams and the times we kill

Start a life, start a fire, start the funeral
Blame the sights, blame the styles, blame the fucking world
Though we were well aware
That it was going there

This closet’s overfilled with skeletons
and things that we don’t do when we say we will
and I’ve had about my fill of holding on
to the hopes, the broken dreams and the times we kill
Track Name: The Road
I drank myself dry the last couple nights
forgetting how to forget you and I
I smoked myself sober and ran towards the light
but I still find myself right back here tonight

‘cause there’s still a road
and I still travel it alone

The future is fading with every new year
and the past becomes clear when it passes my dear
Now I am the worst place to go for advice
but if you get off right now you might get out alive

‘cause there’s still a road
and I still travel it alone
