All that you had left for me is
Christmas lights on balconies
And all my parking tickets in a pile
Portrait's on the second floor
I noticed it while I was walking down the stairs
And reaching for the door
Guess that's the price you pay for living
When your whole life is up for sale
The bottom of the pack
While all your debts just stack
You're always looking behind your back
Night by night
It's the only way I know how to survive
Day by day
It's the only thing that keeps me awake
Night by night
It's the only way I know how to survive

Drugs

Consider this a warning that I might not make it through
Sunny as the morning but that might change on cue
When it falls Ill see the beauty for once
This time I won’t let it elude me for once
If we could all go backwards I wonder if we’d change
How many of us practice parts we never thought we’d willingly play, all day I’d say
When it falls Ill see the beauty for once
This time I won’t let it elude me for once
Every night I stare at the wall and I ask myself
I gotta know, what was it for?
Did you do it for drugs or did you do it for me? Were you waiting on a sign? Wait and see

Field Day
03:16
|

|
Streetlight vigil everywhere
Don’t be surprised no one’s there
But the people know that trying’s half the fight
Walking backwards just to see nothing
I tried to wait away the weight it hung on me
I have not forgotten my forgotten pride
But I’ll make it up to myself in time
Take it easy take it slow keep in mind you barely know
whats been happening right before your eyes
But you’ll make it up to yourself in time
On my own nowhere to go
I need a day off
Overthrown, my cover’s blown
I need a day off
Cause my cover’s blown

Side Streets
02:42
|

|
Don’t wait start picking up your own two feet
Streets are walking, talking, falling back in place
And your space is nothing but a fever dream, it’s only when you get it, it’s not what it seemed
But when it’s the shady kind
It’s always a thrilling time
That’s when the fun begins
Forgive my apologizing but I’m not qualified to say much more
So you wait with that old familiar fate
Like your pocket's always empty but you just got paid
And I’ll stay, that’s the only way for me
Follow trails of broken shoes and smoking, there I’ll be
But when I make it there I’m gonna drink til I can’t see
I thought I was killing time but all this time was killing me
Live from the bitter end give a round of applause to the man that I was before
When the cycle begins again, look at the rubble and I’ll be the writing on the wall

Truth
03:34
|
|||
|
Here goes nothing, there goes everything
Truth be told the truth gets old
And I’m getting away with it
Asked me what I’m runnin from, I said everything and everyone today
Was it a waste of my life? No, just a waste of my night
And I’m getting away with it
I said Benny it’ll be all right, in 7 minutes You’ll be late all night and I told ya
If you want me on time, get in line
Four months since you’ve been stuck round here
If you wanted to lift me up right off the ground
That’d be all right
If you want me on time get in line
