Handsome Boy (free) 04:29
clutch tighter to your drink your stories and your thieves they'll never know you again with you wit and your charm you'll keep them at bay at least an arm's length away cause they stole what you swore they'd never find the core of your soul, the ember of your fire and they put you underneath the blade cut your dreams away, destroyed all your faith so you drink it down so you drink it down so you drink it down and let it wash your sins away so you forget everybody's name friends and foes the same no you'll never know them again and those cuts around your neck you'll do it just yet just keep that nine to five cause they stole what you swore they'd never find the song in your heart, the reason for your might and they put you underneath the blade cut your dreams away, destroying all your faith so you drink it down so you drink it down so you drink it down and let it wash your life away

Untitled (free) 05:01
you tore your dress just to cover your shoulders you left and came back and all you looked was older so what’s this testament you keep on preaching? with all this running ‘round I know I shouldn't believe it so your father hasn’t called in at least five weeks and your mother turns away from all the signs she sees and your sister couldn't care less, she knew you were reckless and your brother doesn't know yet, cause he’s in the same mess just sit back, just relax let's talk it over just remember that it takes time just sit back, just relax take it easy someday you’ll love what you left behind so you ask me what I think, what’s the best this can go but you left us in the dark, without a reason or note but I believe that you can rise above this fray so before you run off, all I wanted to say

Give Up The Ghost (free) 05:08
wind strikes a field of the innocent trouble’s never far behind say it out loud is a misstep you always keep that in mind you were cold as a stone with the emptiest stare in your eyes that I’ve ever known it was always a rose the charade we played couldn’t change the name of what it was the fight went well after midnight we never felt so old touch becomes something useless like suturing infected wounds we were cold the stone spent our youthful days refusing to give up the ghost with so many oaths we were sure to end up as alone as we were before but we lie awake touching our hands to the face that we used to blame now we can't look away with our hearts on the wire we both just lie holding on to something that wasn’t ours to own and the wind blows on when the fire’s gone the wind urges on
