On The Way Down
V1
I’m starin at a dead rose
All the pedals fallin real slow
Like vivid memories from before,
Each one cuts a little more
It’s like you pushed me through a window
Headed some where were I don’t know
I’d be a liar if I said, that I wasn’t scared to death
On the Way Down
Ch1:
On the Way Down I
Wonder if I’ll be alright
Falling somewhere in the clear
Drop me anywhere but here
So that I can start over when
I finally make it back to zero again
As I’m crashing to the ground,
There’s no turning this around
On the Way Down
V2
It’s really quiet in my new place
Pullin bullets from a suitcase
Things I probably should have burned
Every picture gets a turn
There’s an empty place in my bed
This is what we never wanted
There’s no time to make amends
This is where the story ends
On the Way Down
Ch 2:
Brdg
There’s no one to blame
There’s no way to put
Back together what’s been shattered
You’re not the enemy
You and I should be
Happy that’s what matters
Ch3:
On the Way Down I
Wonder if I’ll be alright
Landing somewhere in the clear
Drop me anywhere but here
So that I can start over when
I finally make it back to zero again
As I’m crashing to the ground
There’s no turning this around
On the way down

5th of July
v1:
It’s the 5th of July
It’s time to start over
In the blink of an eye
The world could get colder
With a sprinkle of Light
It’s starts to get warmer in here
It’s the day after we
Will be changed forever
I’m gonna start to get fit
So the weight on my shoulders
Can be a little lighter
Than what we’ve been draggin for years
Ch1:
And I wish you well Love
When you look to me and say
That you don’t love me
Like you loved me
Yesterday
V2:
It’s hard to wake up
Do I have to roll over
Can I sleep this one off
And pull the covers in closer
Though it’s quiet at home,
I can’t stop this ring in my ears
And with my chest trampled in
My friends will drop over
And bring plenty to drink
But the loneliness folds into
A fear of the dark
And the nights just get longer from here
Ch2:
Solo:
Ch3:
Will you wish me well love
When I look to you and say
That I don’t love you like I loved you
Yesterday?

Right Turn
V1:
She holds a knife
Up to her chest tonight
She’ll close her eyes
And run into the light
But will she hear the sound
Of crying mom and screaming kids
Will they hold her tight?
The draining life will stain their skin
Ch1:
Will she make it look like an accident?
If she dies in vein will there be any good place to go?
If she convinced herself it was an accident,
Will she face the crime alone?
She takes a breath and
Soon, she will know
V2:
The barrel’s cold
In his ear tonight
And with the sight,
He grabs the grip and gives a turn
Till it fits just right
He took the time
To make his bed and leave a note
But he second guessed
When he tried to write a joke
Ch2:
Will he make it look like an accident
And if he dies in vein will there be any good place to go
If he convinced himself it was an accident,
Will he face the crime alone?
He takes a breath and
Soon he will know
V3:
I could drive
Into a tree tonight
Or maybe I
Could just run a traffic light
So love the boys
Feed them well and give them kisses
And maybe they
Will grow stronger than Daddy is
Ch3:
Can I make it look like an accident
And if I die in vein will I find any peace where I go
If I convinced myself it was an accident
Will I face the crime alone?
If I take the Left turn
Soon, I will know

This Song's For You

This songs for you
V1:
It’s 5:03 and the alarm is cutting through my head
Like the things you always wanted
Like the things I never said
And now it’s time for me to learn
How to stand up for myself
Cuz our lives are not so neatly packed
And placed up on a shelf
So you’re strong enough to live alone
And you don’t need anyone
And you said it’d never happen
But I put you in a song
Ch2
Every song has a you
A person that we sing to
You’re it this time
Baby this song’s for you
And I know you wont believe me,
So, I’ll prove it to you
Cuz you’re it this time
Baby this song’s for you
V2:
I’ve watched you be so beautiful
As you due dates came near
And I’ve seen you hard and cold as ice
Probably caused you many tears
And you’ve seen me at my worst
Drunk and falling through the closet
So scared you had to call your mom
Well I’m sorry that I lost it,
But the weight is hard to shoulder
When you let down everyone
And I guess that’s why the last few years
I haven’t been much fun
Ch2:
V3:
How can I expect to write a 15-year song
But If you’d paid attention,
I’ve been writing all along
On the notes that said I Love You
I would leave them on the table
All the times I chose to be at home
And we’d go out if we’re able
Now I still have my music
To help me make it through
And I hope that someone better
Is out there for you
Ch3:
Every song has a you
A person that we sing to
Well you’re it this time
Baby this song’s for you
And You’ll try not to believe me
But I think you’ll know the truth
Cuz you’re it this time
Baby this song’s for you

Headlong
V1:
It’s gone long enough
Cuz she’s breathin out the rest of our love.
And it covers his face and her chest
His arms and her legs
And now it’s hard to let go
Cuz I know where you’ve been
I smell all the shame that you’re covered in
It’s seeping out
Of the places I guessed
Well, I’m not impressed
So take all your shit you can go
Pre:
Affection, use it like a weapon
Give all my innocence blindly
Waste all my faith on you
Ch:
Headlong
Into the deep with my eyes closed
Only to find it was hollow
No one there to save me
Headlong
Caught in the heat of the moment
Give the love back that was stolen
Can’t slow down to break my fall
V2:
It’s gone long enough
Cuz she’s sweatin out the rest of our love
And it covers her phone in his bed
And the side of her head
But he wont know how far down you can go
Ch2
Brdg:
Pre:
Ch3

Call It love
V1:
What can I say?
You made it all too clear
Why should I care?
As long as I have you near
Pre 1:
That’s good enough
Or at least
It’s better than it was
Ch1:
So, Call
Call it what you want
Make me what you need
You can count on me
I’ll believe
Twist me turn me
Build me burn me
Make me something you’ll find lovely
Till there’s nothing left of me at all
And Call It Love
V2:
Go tell your frinds
You’ve found the perfect fool
Fun never ends
When you get to be this cruel
Pre2:
The problem is
This is as good as it gets
Ch2:
Brdg
Ch3

Never the Right time
V1:
People are complicated
The softest of words
Can feel so serrated
Often times at night
To keep ourselves from sleeping
You’d much rather fight
Pre1:
But with all the lying that you’ve done
We can’t wait around too long for you
To make up your mind
Ch1:
It’s never the right time to say goodbye
No useless waiting
Stops the hurting
It’s never the right time to say goodbye
All we ask of you,
Is keep us from coming apart
V2:
Neither of us is perfect,
But together we are closer
If together’s what we are
So come on
And tell me why
Cuz it’s all so contradicted in my mind
Pre2:
So let it out and tell the truth
Cuz we wont live a lie for you anymore
Make up your mind
Ch2:
Brdg
Hold on to what we have

No One Gets Out Alive
Where you going whatcha gonna say
When she asks you where you’ve been today
Will you smile will you tell her another lie
Will you keep that guilt pinned up inside
Will you seem a little nervous and start a fight
Will you leave and not come back tonight
To this home
In this home
Ch1:
Wipe our tears away
Cuz we cry at night when the days are lonely
Bring us sunny days
Cuz the rain has washed all our fame away
And we try and we fight
But there’s no place to hide
And no one gets out alive
V2:
I can tell that after all these years
You know there’s something wrong
And so you think that I should pack my things
Drive off and just stay gone
We can fight about the time or friends
The money or my car
Even though we have grown apart
We can still love who we are
In our home
In this home
CH2
Brdg
Didn’t you hear the sound
Of the crashing of the plane
The smoke has filled the air
With the ashes and the rain
I guess that’s where I’m from
And you know you’re just the same
But, it makes it even harder
When there’s no one else to blame

Didn’t I
Didn’t I see you girl?
Last night at Mittler’s party
Didn’t I see you walkin in and
Didn’t’I call your bluff
Didn’t I know you lied to me and
Didn’t I know you care for no one but yourself
Didn’t I feed your children girl
Didn’t I tuck ‘em in cuz you can’t love at all
I guess I coulda let you rot
A jail cell might’s done you good
You’re a Fucking Whore
A Fucking Whore
All along you knew
That I might be the one that you can
Brag to all your friends
Cuz I don’t know at all
Laughin in my face
And you can suck ‘em in the back
When I am up on stage
Makes a grown man wonder
How he got mixed up with such a Fuckin Whore
A Fuckin Whore
Makes a grown man wonder
How he got mixed up with such a Fuckin Whore

Two Haunted Lives
Big Trouble has hit the ground
Like a cannonball blast
And it wont slow down
As scared as I am to start again
Don’t wanna find another lover, or lose a friend
But it just might be a little late for that
I think we’ve come too far and we can’t turn back
I wont make it through a suicidal year again
But, it’s hard for me not to go all in when
Ch1:
Your gravity has split my head
And spun me round in circles
I always thought that I was strong
I’d never be the on I’ve become
But you never leave my mind
Can we pull the brake in time
Will we lead Two Haunted Lives
V2:
My lips are chapped from the microphone
I’ve been singin all night and I can’t go home
Cuz I got a front seat for a living room
You see I gave it all up before I met you
So you can take a little time to figure out
All the possible roles, how it wont work out
and I can’t believe what you say is true
Cuz you never had me, I never had you but
Ch2:
Your gravity has pulled me in
and spun me round in circles
I always thought that I was strong
I’d never be the one I’ve become
And you never leave my mind
Can we pull the brake in time
Will we lead Two Haunted Lives
Brdg:
If It’s not over
somebody’s gonna get hurt soon enough
You can lay all the blame on me
I give you myself openly
But this times different
I wont back down so easily
I wont ask you to make a choice
But I’m ready for a fight
V3:
The proof has soaked right through my clothes
And I’m unashamed being left exposed
The truth is that’s what you do to me
There’s no way to hide where the blood will lead
So I keep a little change in my pocket now
And hold onto the phone in the witching hour
Knowing that I’ll get a text or two
It’s worth not sleeping to talk with you cuz
Ch3:
Your gravity has sucked me in
And flung me round in circles
I used to think that I was strong
I ‘d never be the one I’ve become
And you never leave my mind
Can we pull the brake in time
Will we lead Two Haunted Lives
