Bitter Cold 03:48
No voices, no revelry Emptiness surrounding me Pine scented majesty Emptiness surrounding me Bitter cold poisoning Just take the blood away from me Transparent I hold the key Emptiness surrounding me Happiness guaranteed Everything surrounding me I'm alive

Run 02:45
14, so young But then I felt so much older in my head Until an older girl lay me in bed And then the time that I thought I was dead So reel it up, this sinking heart in my chest Look forward, dress in Sunday's best Pressure's on, hold your ground But then I start running Until the pain goes away Blackout, full blown That's 7 hours I will never get back And then I'm told to just sit back, relax While other smarter people plan their attack I've had enough, I've given you all I can This huge mistake does not show who I am I keep trying I can't

I don't know why but I've been thinking about what life would be like without you right here with me I don't know why, maybe the light's in my eyes Lost sight of the prize when you called me baby I don't know why Sum it up, the interviews inside my head Sometimes I like to be alone instead It's hard to know exactly what you're looking for What I'm looking for is you You paved the way to my bare bones Loving you is what I call home I make mistakes, I make them all of the time But you stay right with me When life gets rough you give a smile that shines It takes me by surprise and you ask for nothing I don't know why I'll give it all, I'll give you all that I have My life is a drag without you right here with me We'll go all out, we'll live the life that we talk about Day in and day out you know I'll be working I'll give it all

Colorblind 03:54
Beauty north, Northeast Kingdom Heavy air fill my lungs Feeling rough, feeling young Alone once more Troublesome, need attention What do I have to do Tie me up, better safe than sorry But I'd still follow you Leave me here to die I'll be alright, I'll be just fine This view is the reason why I'll be alright, I'll be just fine Maple tree, keep me steady My life now depends on you Colorblind, but the best part is that I haven't got a clue Not the fights, not separation Those happen in due time Here's to today Here's to the backwoods I'll never be alone I'll be back soon Again

We Grew 05:28
Parked the car and road tripped to Kentucky Spirits high, backpacks full of beer Unaware of the road ahead Eager and no inkling of fear Traveled in the dark through all of Kansas Stopped in Kansas City for some morning nourishment Warned to stay away from St Louis But shook it off and drove That van held the best of us Most level headed people I ever knew They tried to bring us down But in the end our hearts only grew Sometimes it can feel like there's nothing left and nowhere to go But we knew we had each other and to giving up we said hell no Halfway there and creeping up to lunch time Stopped in St Louis for some good ole BBQ Filled up out stomachs and couldn't wait to journey on and be there soon Louisville was waiting but we'd be there soon Went back to our van right where we parked it Doors already open but didn't think a thing Soon we came to realize it struck the mind of everyone around We were robbed, our things were gone Criminals nowhere to be found For a while no one said a work and there were subtle tears Any thought of innocence in this world was quickly changed to fear In the van we sat, what was left of us no one really knew But in a few short moments we all knew exactly what to do We buckled up and drove the last 4 hours to Louisville, KY Our hearts filled with rage but the plan forever set in stone When we all arrived we drank until the crime was just a funny memory And in the morning cheered for our friends chilled to the bone

Suspended 03:28
I'm sitting in a chair That so many other people have sat in before I should feel comfortable But deep inside my body is craving for more There was a change in plans and I'm trying to adjust That will take time My living space is furnished and the mini fridge freezes everything that's inside Haunting memories he can't recall One decision can waste it all One minute it's fine then fade to black What we are is built on our mistakes and what we do To get our lives back I open up the window The autumn air fills the room and puts me at ease There's voices outside A troubled girl with fear that she can't bury deep She lives in the campus catholic house I don't know her story but I wish I could help Is she losing her God Another one that's dusted, simply left on the shelf I may be suspended but my feet will touch the ground and I will be fine This starts a new beginning A life where all my choices will purely be mine There's no use in asking If you wanna meet me, I'll be around Just be sure to leave the door open as you slowly make your way back down

Goodbye my friend Until next year I'll be thinking of your branches And all that they hold I'll drift away Traveling endlessly with oceans at my footsteps And you will grow old Maybe next year I'll see you in the spring time If I change, it's for better that I swear I'll try so hard to keep myself from falling apart And my promise is to keep an open eye For places that grow deep That are as fond as you Towards anything that holds a beating heart What have you seen You stand tall in a world that's never ending A wild one too Do you count the scars Do they echo who you are and what you could be Sometimes plans fall through
