And feel me losing interest because in writing I'm incomplete I don't even work that hard, but man, I'm broken down And feel my motivation drain as I'm wasting my weeks So get me out of here, I'm breaking down (chorus) Let's go out west to the river Where these mistakes won't last forever Let's get out now Let's get out Let's drive out west to the river Where these mistakes won't last forever Let's get out now Let's get out - My bags are packed, my money's saved and your on your way So where to next, my friends, so where to next? My mind's made up, the decision's made and the car is packed So where to next, my friends, so where to next? I'll make it to the river and I'll head down south I'll see you in Virginia someday - chorus - I see the fields, I see the cars I see the place I'm from But cold feet carry on no matter how far I miss my bed, I miss my friends But I won't miss the wait Cause life will start when I am young Cause life will start when I am young And I won't be young for far too long - Chorus x3

And so he's stuck in over analysis It's the only way he knows how to cope To ponder his existence after being put down It's all that he's ever known And so he must stand up And say just what he believes Cause after years of being silent He refuses to be on knees He says excuse me sir I cannot answer you It's hard to reply When someone's looking down on you He says excuse me sir I cannot answer you It's hard to reply When someone's looking down on you And so the father asks his daughter what to do He doesn't know just how to react “you tore down your old door, painted it in to A landscape on acid, a fucking view” And so she must stand up Say just what she believes Cause after years of being silent She refuses to be on knees She says excuse me sir I cannot answer you It's hard to reply When someone's looking down on you She says excuse me sir I cannot answer you It's hard to reply When someone's looking down on you

Am I Bold enough to pique your interest Can I still be quiet and not a waste of time Can I just be your friend or be around you Because sometimes my head's a mess and I fear I'll bring you down And consequently, I will call you too late in the night And consequently, you might have a slightly better time But though sometimes I lie it's just to pass the time And it'll be alright if you give it time Can I ask you out just to get some tea? Do you have the time for such pleasantries? Can you tell me bout just how your day's been Because I want to know just how you are and how you've been And consequently, I will call you too late in the night And consequently, you might have a slightly better time But though sometimes I lie it's just to pass the time And it'll be alright if you give it time And the reason I like to talk to you is because you're vaguely different Been around this town for twenty years and I fear we're all the same You work at the salon for two grand a month You paint and draw when you have the time from school And consequently, I will call you too late in the night And consequently, you might have a slightly better time But though sometimes I lie it's just to pass the time And it'll be alright if you give it time

Clinging 04:18
I'm clinging to my bed Not ready to stand up yet Still sleeping next to your crease My heart's beating Heavily And I miss you more than I can say Harmonies, two bodies together You heated the cold nights this December Peace and love and fulfilled needs What happens now? We said we were perfect We believed it out of need Cause loneliness ends in Such desperate pleas They said we were perfect We believed it out of need Cause loneliness ends in My desperate pleas Why don't you love me? Why don't you leave? We tore ourselves apart for the For the song that never leads Can these words still sting so bad Can they sting so bad? We said we were perfect We believed it out of need Cause loneliness ends in Such desperate pleas They said we were perfect We believed it out of need Cause loneliness ends in My desperate pleas Oh, to breathe her air You must never share the same breath again And oh, it’s a heavy cost But after what you've lost, nothing ever seems quite fair And hey, to feel this skin You must accept the mindset she's always in And how she'll never be quite there They said we were perfect We believed it out of need Cause loneliness ends in Such desperate pleas They said we were perfect We believed it out of need Cause loneliness ends in My desperate pleas They said we were perfect We believed it out of need Cause loneliness ends in My desperate pleas

Oh I'm Torn apart by silence Cause I know the words I've said And how they carry nothing Oh my Blistered fingers tapping To songs no one will hear How beautiful the silence Beautiful the silence Such blissful decadence Such blissful decadence Oh such Oh why Such beautiful silence Such blissful decadence Such blissful decadence Oh why Such beautiful silence Well how it's played ever since It's the who what and when To the frozen creek I go To drown my overbearing confidence To rid my mind of what's been said Regain my common sense To new worlds created through pens To every monster made out of men Oh why Such beautiful silence Such blissful decadence Such blissful decadence Oh why Such beautiful silence Well how it's played ever since It's the who what and when Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooooooooooh OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh Oh why Such beautiful silence Such blissful decadence Such blissful decadence Oh why Such beautiful silence Well how it's played ever since It's the who what and when

Long live the five to the one See, Kay, I don't think I need anyone but you I curse and I shout too much But I'd stop it all if you only ask me to I know you hate when I fight, I shout and I cry But you sing like an angel and you're always on my mind I shout over bass and get over myself Can I apologize for all that I've done? And if you don't wanna deal with the bullshit I've caused, then Your decision is the one I'll respect You bump into me all the time You climb me like a tree of a certain kind You tell me of the dreams of your life I wonder if I'm by your side in them I know you hate when I fight, I shout and I cry But you sing like an angel and you always haunt my mind I shout over bass and get over myself Can I apologize for all that I've done? And if you don't wanna deal with the bullshit I've cause you Your decision is the one I'll respect Long live the five to the one See, Kay, I don't think I care for anyone but you

And I've been driving down the turnpike for bout ninety miles it seems Just to get back to the place where I was needed And as the sunlight bows its head to night, we imagine it goes to sleep But it's just rising up in someone else's Someone else's skies And I won't sleep tonight Everything's polluted With thoughtless contributions No one ever told me That it's all just human That it's all That it's all That it's all just human And I've been driving this old car and my gas is almost up And the warning light's been on, I've still got ninety miles to go So I pull into the station and I recollect myself When I'm greeted by a long-haired angel who's named Rasheed And he filled my car up Even when I said I had no cash He said that's a problem As he reached for his wallet He told me to rest my eyes Rest my eyes in the parking lot And move on my way So I can get where I need to go Thank you Thank you Thank you Rasheed
