Hold The Water Ransom (BP)

They said what they wanted you to believe
Its hard to believe the words against what you see
Take a picture in black and white
And add some color against the waves
we're bound to come around again
They're bound to come around...

They're throwing punches at ocean waves
The earth shook, the earth shook
I've never seen a lie surf that way
And no one can stay afloat today

When are you supposed to wake up?
All your pockets full of answers
prescriptions for questions
Never make the mark you want to
When will this sinking feeling leave us?
Its Eating us like cancer
Because we never learned the lessons
Never make the mark you want to
Make up the stories we'll all tell to our children

And its raining gasoline
On cigarettes and dreams
Tip your glass to the sea
Watch it burn the night away

untitled as of now

I've been drinking and drinking and drinking gasoline
Now I'm waiting and waiting for you to ignite me
I'll burn for you through your nights sleep
Just don't forget to fill me with kerosene
Because the bad feels so good
And the bad feels good to me
The bad just feels, well it just feels
So good, so good, oh hahaha

Do you remember the last time we spoke?
Take you down to the waters edge
But I can't make you drink, oh no
Do I remember the last time she wrote?
Took the blade down to the finest edge
No but I can't make you, no I can't make you

Because the bad feels so good
And the bad feels good to me
The bad just feels, well it just feels
So good, so good, oh hahaha

You mistook me for someone who cared
Now your words are falling on deaf ears
I've seen enough to know when to love
And I've seen enough of you to know you should give up

Mend Able

You sing the words I'll play the chords
I thought that was the plan
You played it true to form
Now you're torn and I can't stand it
you're throwing stones in a glass home
And I can't stand it

I'm a liar, I'm a liar
I'm a liar, but I learned
All my best tricks from you
Is that what you wanted to hear?
Cuz that's what you wanted to hear

Now you're throwing stones
I hope its biblical
There's no honor between brothers and thieves
There's no honor between the knives in your sleeves
Now You're putting out this fire with gasoline
But don't mind me I'm stoking the flame

I'm a liar, I'm a liar
I'm a liar, but I learned
All my best tricks from you
Is that what you wanted to hear?
Cuz that's what you wanted to hear

How About You Control?

I never tried it but I'm keeping up
I never tried it but I'm always up

Well your shoulder was cold
(and you were throwing stones)
I'm catching sparks and sand
(can you even see from your end?)
We're all freezing from the east
And you're catching up on sleep

Well you never tried it but I'm keeping up
You never tried it but you're always up

We're pushing twenty five at the end
And its thirty two on the skin
We hope you're warm up top
When you turn the radio off
When you turn the radio off
Turn the radio off, turn the radio off

Well you never tried it but I'm keeping up
You never tried it but you're always up

Well how about you control?
How about you control?
How about you control?
And how about you control?

The Tragedy (pt 2)

Well this is what living like this does
Weren't you taught better than this?
I hope you keep drinking gasoline
I'll sit on this stage and light you on fire
Did you tell your daughter you're the best of liars?

Were there wedding bells when you said I do?
Did you notice she was looking straight through you?

Get out the cross, here comes the martyr
Bleeding from his ears for the screams of his daughter
She has the same name, oh, she has the same name
The children always pay for the sins of the father

Were there wedding bells when you said I do?
Hope you feel good that you had her fooled

So look out you son of a bitch
Why don't you keep talking shit?
Cuz snitches and talkers
Get stitches and walkers
Now we know which bullet fits
You've already shot yourself to pieces,

I just want to tear straight into you
I just want to slit your throat the way you do
Would it break your heart, tell her the truth?
(the truth, the whole truth and nothing but...)
Because I just wanna tear straight into you

I just wanna tear straight into you
I just wanna tear straight into you

The Tragedy (pt 1)

She sits on the porch and smokes camel wides
Oh, and all the things that lead her to this life
He hasn't said he loves her in months
But she knows exactly why

Were there wedding bells when you said I do?
Could you even tell if he was looking at you?

She sits on the couch and watches their daughter play
she can't even begin to guess what he'll say
Because he hasn't said he loves her in months
She says "if I believed in God I'd pray"

She sits on the porch and smokes camel wides
The ash burns her skin and the tears douse the fire
The truth, the while truth and nothing but?
"how can you trade in your children for a far away love?
How can you tell your daughter she never mattered?
How can you trade in your children?"

Brittany's song

Smoke from the last cigarette sits
Cold like stone and colorless
You're sleeping like the peace you keep
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over and over and over

But when you wake, the color comes alive
The silver smoke turns gold with light from your eyes
Green like the grass, bright as the sun
Deep like the space you don't believe exists

I had prayers that need no answer
Now, let it turn to ashes, blow it out
you're waking like the sun in the morning,
I've finally found a reason to sing again
You put a stop to these thoughts in my head
Over and over and over and over

And when you wake, the color comes alive
The silver smoke turns gold with light from your eyes
Green like the grass, bright as the sun
Deep like the space you don't believe exists

We watched orion dance across the sky
It doesn't have to be warm to pretend its summertime
We watched satellites streak across the night
It doesn't have to be cold to hold you tight

And when you wake, the color comes alive
The silver smoke turns gold with light from your eyes
Green like the grass, bright as the sun
Deep like the space you don't believe exists
