Dear Baltimore

I started out down at the bottom buried deep beneath our feet
and the only car on the boulevard weighs heavy over me
i still don't understand how this goes hand in hand
and i'm still not a better man
were left alone to wonder these streets
but do you feel useless like me
when you cant find the words to say
because its like this down here everyday
so lets redeye to carolina and up the coastline to dc
and we'll frequent the monuments and forget what they all mean
then ill have you match whatever i lay down
in our black market bank account
dear baltimore ive been trying harder everyday
to sever all my ties and drink all my demons away
these past few years seem to familiar dont you say
so postmark it to the monuments and push it off on me
just like you did every week

i was searching through old memories today
and i found a picture just you and me
we were still young were growing up but for me not so much
all those nights we played till dawn
fall asleep at your house with the tv on
now youve got your feet on solid ground
when everything in my life's upside down
where have you gone have you been there all along
i know you've been there all along
you pick us up when you drop the anchor you are the anchor
take care you know ill see you there when everyone is gone
you pick us up when you drop the anchor you are the anchor
so we'll send our thoughts and condolences
to the fine young gentlemen we've been
and now we know the road we both must go
its like sunday radio
with the windows down were off the map
a last cigarette on the last lap
so protect the family you've made because its sunday morning everyday
ive been watching close, close every day
and i know for sure that we'll be ok
so pour down the line a toast to the night
and that tomorrow will be alright

we wake up every morning on beds of nails
each sense every morning causes others to fail
your sly but i'm not blind
i'm not myself every morning i work best at night
i'm gonna turn progress made into steady decline
take what you want from me
like the friends you lose your a tragic casualty
so take comfort in knowing it was never meant to be
we spent all afternoon on the buses uptown
never knew where we'd been driving circles around
and i haven't been there since
i had all afternoon to think how i grew old
about hearing the truth that you never told
and beneath our bones will break from countless choices made
i cant believe just how much you can take
this is the first song of the rest of my life
but this story's getting older by the minute
when were dead set on giving up you know were bound to rise above
yeah
the sun sets on the road that we travel at night
we ride like crusaders the chasers of light
and our city rides with us
we walk through the bars set on burning them down
in south city apartments and rooms underground were better off alone
because the places you've been i don't even want to know
so thanks for your time but ill be just fine on my own

i woke up this morning to glaze of last night on my face
shake once awake to see you next to me
i'm getting going she said but don't let me forget
we let ourselves sink down too far in this one
but waiting is a roll on the dice and there's one thing you cant deny
how it can feel to sing a song for a wasted time
and that song will help to carry them all night
a hazy stare through the glow of the bar lights
i'd rather raise one up until morning comes
to wake what's left of my head from last night
manipulated attempts to cover up where you've been
that whiskey scent keeps me numb to this fact
we both know how this will be so the next rounds on me
but realize that nothing in this world is free
because waiting is a roll on the dice and there's one thing you cant deny
how it can feel to sing a song for a wasted time

theres a full moon hanging over west victoria tonight
and its nights like these that make it perfect for a drive
so up the stairs from your apartment come on davey we gotta go
as we shuffle through the freshly fallen snow
so just follow me my friends i know its cold enough to bite
but you aint lived till youve seen the parking lots in forest park at midnight
and you know ive got your back and i know that youve got mine
so theres something we have discovered the greatest part of growing up
take everything thats real just as it comes
because everytime we turn around were right back where we started from
remembering the times when we were young
we'll make our way up to chicago for the thirteen hour drive
and for miles its the only way we can survive
so we sit around and talk about this band we all are in
from the old abandoned pier on michigan
so just follow me my friends i know its cold enough to bite
but you aint lived till you've seen the sparkle of the lake here on the south side
and you know i got your back and i know that you've got mine

please tell me what im supposed to do
please tell me where to go from here
i did my time of education got lost between the lines
four years of redundancy pressed between these walls around me
so give the man some room so he can gasp before he meets his doom
and hes sold
drowning in a sea of debt victors to victims with regret
ill waste my time and lose every dime
we've come to far and we cant just turn back yet
escape the fate take every fucking chance that we can take
because life is what you make its death until we finally catch our break
but we want more
its about where we are and where we want to be
and where we want to go and who we want to be
we've come to far and we cant just give up yet
and if we fail we'll be back to work again
no foul no harm left to ride the sea of tails
we'll never die we'll never die
we'll never die or get pushed aside
theres so much more we have to do
just keep em high and receive our prize and finally pull through
we'll never die we'll never die
facedown but we still have this fight
were here to do whats right
well bide our time and lose every dime
until you see just how great we can be

Bottles Out to Sea

well now its looking like goodbye my friend
but know this times no time for framing the ending
our music will let itself out from separate heads
the noise of our lives brought back here from the dead
and when we meet again our hearts will be the same
and our hiatus will be waking history
for now just know that a thousand golden memories remain
and the past will become our waking sanctity
think of those times driving 364 at night
playing reclamation numbers one two five and nine
outside the show freezing our asses off just waiting in the line
young stupid punks outside just wasting time
nothing can stop us now distance between us wont tear us down
the best of emotion is what we've shared
and you cant destroy emotion no you cant destroy emotion
this distance dont mean anything no this distance dont mean nothing
just let itself sink into catch the empty sight
gallons are poured beneath our feet now just in spite
strapping young gentlemen sit anxious at the bar
trade nervous smiles for a pint of pbr
man i dont know where this is going but it aint getting us far
we three alone set into stone by who we are
so can i ask you what you think about relief
start seniding messages in bottles out to sea
i hope one day you hear this song and know its yours for you to keep
and when this ends the tides roll in to purge and bury me
even though theres oceans between us just know that theyll never take us
even though theres oceans between us just know itll never bring you down

tear me apart tonight if youre leaving dont turn on the light
this parking lots getting old but i dont wanna go home
worked my fingers right down to the bone
can we maybe find somewhere to go somewhere we wont get lost in the fold
so pack up your bags boys were moving it on down the road
down the road
so deliver me im not far away i know
but my minds out there on the road
all i need from you is everything you have
because were here to take it back
lets take it back
they say some people would die to get paid
we trade two weeks vacation for twenty minutes on the stage
the smokes getting old but i dont want to go home
so lets grind our jaws down to the bone
let our feet be swift and controlled and shuffle us out of the fold
so strike up the band boys were moving it on down the road
down the road

our time is running out
our time is running out
and every day is one day closer to us falling down
our time is running out
our time is running out
and everybody will still be here with us year s from now
how many times have you opened your eyes
alerted your senses to something inside
and its got you so wrapped up you cant sleep at night
now it takes a man to take one on the chin
but we've been through our share of sorrow and sin
and we'll fall right back into their traps again
so lets howl like wild creatures in the night
and from the darkest places all i'm thinking
because i've spent my time pitching quarters and dimes
and i'm watching out for these old friends of mine
we'll cold toast to the diamonds in the sky
all at once we were passing thought once crowded streets
we're spitting at passers and dragging our feet
and things seem less familiar now to me

I Pass Like Night
05:12

we live our lives in constant motion
and its been far too long since i've been home
and its another unfamiliar place another landscape to interrogate
but its wrong
and it just want to get away my friend but too many doors wont let me in
now it gone
ill go north into the mountains
ill go south into the sea
tell all my friends in california when they wake up tomorrow they wont see me
ill go east into the swamp land and take a walk among the trees
and everybody understands now just why i pass like night and it kills me
we sit all alone in empty houses
and its been a hundred thousand miles still i'm not home
and its another unfamiliar place another space that we must navigate
but its wrong
and it just want to get away my friend and these bones wont let me walk again
but not for long
we end up just like we said we wouldn't
because no one ever really changed who they are
its who you are
