Evelyn McHale 04:48
lyrics

Write another poem On the back of a napkin Cut off all of your hair Until you can’t look in the mirror It came to me in a dream I was standing in an empty street And all of the buildings were on fire You were there holding a lighter We were both trying not to smile I don’t ever speak your name Not even when I’m alone Or passing by your place So many things have changed I put them out of my mind Except when I’m staring up At the empty sky reminiscing About the glory days Sometimes I think I’m destined To end up like Evelyn McHale Eyes closed on the pavement People asking what my name was Too young and too beautiful But I never thought That you would ruin me for all eternity It looks like I thought wrong I played that hand and lost Cashed my chips and walked off I don’t ever speak your name Not even when I’m alone Or passing by your place So many things have changed I put them out of my mind Except when I’m staring up At the empty sky reminiscing About the glory days I don’t want to feel this way forever I don’t want to carry around your pain I don’t want to feel this way forever I won’t dig my own grave At least not in this place

Tarot Card 03:32
lyrics

Sirens in the dark We were born to play these parts Broken arrow in the heart And nowhere to be You can read my palm Flip my tarot card I don’t feel any pain Because I don’t feel a thing No, I don’t feel a thing Ink runs down the page Tormented by a name There’s a ghost in the hallway His laughter is weightless You can read my palm Flip my tarot card I don’t feel any pain Because I don’t feel a thing So little matters anymore I’m walking through padlocked doors I’m burning books and shaking hands Forgetting all our future plans All I want is silence now A quiet place where I can drown In the sound of a familiar song To close my eyes and rise at dawn And then see again I’m going to see you again In this life or the next You can read my palm Flip my tarot card I don’t feel any pain Because I don’t feel a thing You can’t hurt me But you can try

Light Years 03:32
lyrics

Killing time just driving around Cemeteries and football fields Isn’t it scary how good it feels To let the tape come off the reel A pen in the pocket A note on the rocket I could’ve loved you But you stopped it Life looks better without glasses Figures fade out in the distance No one ever writes No one ever calls So you stay inside Try to sleep it off You’re looking for a way out But there’s not a way out Light years away We’re just burning the days Where to go I’ll never know I think I’ll sit in the movies alone The pretty faces are so cruel And they all remind me of you No one ever writes No one ever calls So you stay inside Try to sleep it off You’re looking for a way out But there’s not a way out Light years away We’re just burning the days

Unknown Unknowns 04:34
lyrics
buy track
Soft colors bloom All across the walls Of this forbidden bedroom Where we laughed And shed our clothes Still no one knows The secrets that we shared Or the way I pulled your hair Where we ever really here? This I’m not sure I’m doing my best at putting this to rest But when I fall asleep you still visit me To kiss my cheek and whisper in my ear Get away from here Let me be alone Silent and unknown Pale moon come soon Release me to the stars I didn’t come this far to lose And turn back They say I’m doing well But I can hardly tell Because it always feels the same Silhouettes in picture frames You were so graceful to me That fatal season I’m doing my best at putting this to rest But when I fall asleep you still visit me To kiss my cheek and whisper in my ear Get away from here Let me be alone Silent and unknown Go ahead and cut the tether Nothing ever lasts forever Stare into the dark water I’ll be waving

Consolation Prize 04:44
lyrics

Truth drips from the canvas What’s wrong, you look nervous How we forget these places Lights fade and you go But they’ll never know Who you truly are And I dream of the day That I don’t hate you And I dream of a place Where I could face you And I dream of the day That I don’t hate you This is no consolation prize At least not in my eyes I linger outside the door That you don’t walk through anymore Dressed in gray and black You don’t look at people you pass Maybe they all look like me Clocks tick and you cry Tears onto a letter that’s not signed And I dream of the day That I don’t hate you And I dream of a place Where I could face you And I dream of the day That I don’t hate you This is no consolation prize At least not in my eyes Find your way to me again This could be the start of everything Or it could be the end You’re standing naked at my bed With the gun pointed at my head Waiting for an answer That I can’t give anymore And I dream of the day That I don’t hate you And I dream of a way To forgive you And I dream of the day That I don’t hate you And I dream of a place Where I could face you And I dream of the day That I don’t hate you This is no consolation prize At least not in my eyes Goodbye to you My love
