havent had anything new for a little bit. let me know if it lives up [or down?] to standards. still editing it.



Run me out and run me down
I’m a wanted man tonight
I’m not trying to run from you
But to bridge the separation,
On a night too close to call
The distance between the headlights and the hospital
[Are his helpless hands behind the wheel of your crashing car?]

I’m sleeping with a price tag on my body tonight

When he holds out his wrists
With his heart on his sleeve
And his chest gaping open
Singing a sirens song for you
This is all we are?
This is all I could ask for?
Cut short sight to sound
And feel the breath leaving me

Let’s set in stone
Every lie we’ve ever told
Every dream we’ve ever sold
Each night you spent alone
Tonight I’m coming home

I swear I’m a courier
Don’t shoot the messenger
Two beats to the third strike and the clock’s counting lives
There’s no time to worry about time
Breathe out and take it all in
We’re dying and we’re dying young

Time your breathing to the rhythm of your heart beating
I’ll bite your tongue, the silence is golden
Bite your tongue, the silence is golden
[The color of your alibi]
Sing me to sleep on the side of the road tonight
