Cross of Gold

Crown of thorns you wont bring us down/
cross of gold, we can't carry it around anymore///
living underground but where sneaking out/
for the first time, we are speaking out loud///
hesitate, afraid to disappoint again/
turned away. like a beggar in the storm/
we can't give of ourselves anymore///
fixing up the fence that they're taking down/
wasting on the bench but we're breaking out now/
we're breaking out/

So It Goes
05:23

It rained for a thousand days/
overflowing and flooding walkways/
it came with a sinister air/
everyday we prayed but nothing seemed to change/
after-hours reprieve/
awoke to somber defeat///
the relief never comes/
just a feeling of being wrong/
like being let down/
we're living like our parents now///

Coming Out On Top
04:01
|
|||
Take the nights of simple insignificance/
and magnify all the things we never said/
those broken eyes shallow and discriminate/
filled with lies and all the secrets you had kept///
it's a beginning or an end/
or something to prevent/
and you think you're safe, coming out alright/
a villain in disquise///
cocaine in your veins/
your running out of ways to hear me out/
ashes in your mouth/
you burn it to the ground///

Legs as white as snow, I remember/
with a bluish hue/
walls were painted red/
I can't forget the sunlight on the bed///
shattered glass on the floor/
when I heard it, I never would forget/
I think about what I had said to my mother/
cancer in her chest///
while we are fastest asleep/
it's creeping in to all of our dreams/
distinctly American/
dividing your things/
among your closest friends///

Gutterbaby
05:59
|
|||
Joining in so you don't feel so separate/
down into the gutters filling up with rain/
you're half awake but falling asleep/
the water is up to your ears/
rising up into your nose/
down it goes, into your chest/
now you're starting to get desperate///
in the gutters you live undercover/
still the poor boy masquerading/
living day to day///
