Yellow Walls

How can I weather out the storm
And live these days
Crossing state lines until I’m finally safe?
I’ll put behind all these backroads
And the cracks on their asphalt
That I’ve walked for too long
I can’t waste all this time
With bleeding fingers on the ground
Trying to survive like I did before
How can I handle nights that bring me down?
My thoughts collide against these yellow walls
It fucks me up, leaving me empty and sleepless in my room
I’ll burn out until I’m gone
Nothing hurts quite this bad
Avoided ghosts always find their way back
To take the light from my pale half closed eyes
I’m sick and tired of the noise that they make
This petrifying fear
That ghosts have left is
The only thing that I see
When I’m alone

Twisted and worn out
Like a rusty nail
I’m trying not to fall
Winter of 2010
I remember every weeknight at the bar
The taste of blood between our teeth
We said we’d be leaving all behind
We say that every year
No, I won’t let you drag me down
I’ll walk through the storm
And keep my feet anchored to the ground
A whiskey coloured stain on my new shirt
The taste of the floor is way more than what I can afford
One fast move or I’m gone
I won’t spend my summer nights
Standing in the yard under the stars
I’ll retrace my steps and look for what I’ve lost
Along those sunbeaten roads
You burned that bridge
So don’t bother looking back
I’m already gone
There’s no solid ground for old drunks and dreamers
Just have to deal with the ghosts
There’s no solid ground for old drunks and dreamers
It’s hard to stop reeling
How did I get here
Gasping for air under a street lamp?
You must have thought I never even tried
Now all I have is this ringing in my ears
The deafening sound of the same damn song
It was all I could hear

Reckless Northwest
04:20
|

Oh no, I can feel it again
These gloomy thoughts might slowly draw me in
Out of breath, can someone please get me out this bed?
Pine needles and wood smoke
On a dark December day
Fueling up my winter blues
We, young survivors, are targets again
And it’s not an odd unconfident youth
Shooting at us this time
We raised a holy hell
If there’s a way out I know it’s not on our own
Gotta find some safe ground
Where we can lay our heads down
I spent eighteen days out there
Roaming in the wild Northwest
But still I couldn’t find
The missing piece I’ve been looking for
But maybe it’s just me
I can’t see past the end of my nose
Dazed and confused
Like the lost fortyniners
We’re searching for gold when all
We really need is pure water
If there’s a way now I need to know
Hearts on the line, we can’t come up short

Wooden Forts
03:50
|

We grew up building up wooden forts by our own
They’ve never made it through the summer
First smokes blown away by the warm wind of July
The world was for everyone who wanted it
We started to be more selfish
We got mad to be well dressed and
Then we let the weather change our mood
Now we leave our shoes by the door
Just to keep our pavements clean
Oh why shouldn’t I abuse of silence?
With years it gets more meaningful than answers
In my trembling heart, an old guitar resounds at night
With chords and words I’ll never find
I’ll always remember
Every hard laugh in our summer skin
When we fall asleep with a smile aimed at a new day
Was it really the best?
Maybe I’ve wasted all the best of me
I’m a broken second hand stuck in time with my regrets
Shaking in this cold bunk
Carving invane to fall asleep
My life is like a sleeping car
While the world runs underneath
High and dry
With a fire inside
High and dry
I’ll turn the tide

No Safe Cigarette
05:54

The ashtray can’t handle one more of your cigarettes
That’s what you’re staring at with nothing to say
I thought the movie was catching your eyes but
They were just gazing the doorway
Wednesday’s not
The perfect day to connect the dots
My bedroom light seems like the shadow of winter
When you go home it comes over me
Lay in my bed as long as you want
Tomorrow morning I’ve got to go to work
Head in clouds at the bookshop
Thinking how lucky I am with what I’ve got
But wednesday’s not
The perfect day to impress new
Memories on freshly painted walls of my new living room
Memories of you like ghosts
Haunt this house everytime I’m home alone
You got nothing to lose
When you got nothing to play with
And you got nothing to prove
Just don’t expect that we’re going to stay
Don’t expect that we’re going to stay just the way we were
When I brush your hair
You look like shocked
As if my hands were wires (my hands are wires)
But your eyes look like lighters (your eyes are lighters)
So I feel like I’m playing with fire (I’m playing with fire)
We were before
Before we spoke through the night, through the party, sounds
And lights and we kissed before the sunshine
Before I asked you to date me
At least a dozen times
Before like Curtis with Cash you finally said “yes”
Kate, I’ve really walked the line
Now we’re nothing more, nothing more than these nights
You won’t miss me like I do
I’m a dry field, you’re the rain
I’m a wound and you’re the pain
Now I miss the pain, miss the rain,
Seasons change but this won’t change
You won’t miss me like I do, Kate you threw it all away

Keep Me Alive
04:01

And it feels like
We’re always waiting
For whatever could make a difference
And it feels like there’s no rest
And it feels like
We’re always chasing
For whatever could make us more confident
And it feels like there’s no rest
At least we’re alive
We’re alive
You keep me alive
