No Light

All of these churches, these gods, they can't hurt us
We lie in our bodies, take shots, we're survivors of the road
We go wherever we need to go
Laid out in anger, your eyes spell out danger
It's moments like this where we hang onto faith and let go
Believe in all of the stories told
Maybe there'll be no light
When I'm looking for love, when I'm looking for love
When I'm looking for you
I’ll meet you halfway, you’re spinning me sideways
And you’ll be my hunter, my prey, my weapon of choice
Buzz along with the other boys
These are the hard times, they warned us when I was
Alive for a moment, then you split me open, to find
Doubt is always the other side
All these impossible things These impossible things
Oh this river it sings, oh this river

Wildfire

What sort of dreams did you swallow with your pride that day
Did you ever think you'd leave me with a cleaner slate
Water colors swirl around us in a thieving daze
You are, you are
No I promised that I wouldn't say it
Pulling broken inspiration out of masquerades
When you spend life living from the faster lane
Wildfires burn inside of every last embrace
And you are, you are
No I promised that I wouldn't say
Oh, oh, oh
A wildfire heart
Oh, oh, oh,
A wildfire heart, a wildfire heart
Leave it up to me to believe you were innocent
Never trust a single word you ever said
Oh, a wildfire heart, heart
It's been a long time coming, if you paraphrase
We left a mark on redefining runaways
And took a long hard look at leaving yesterday
As it was, it was
No, I promised that I wouldn't change a thing
No, I wouldn’t change a thing
But I guess what matters now is what we did and how we lived
And how we built a reigning empire out of corresponding kids
If an opposite attracts the way I understand it is
It's all or more, in our civil war of love and chords
Leave it up to me
Give me what you need
Leave it up to me
Give me what you need

Sun to Someone
04:02

So c'mon back to the moon
You're the sun to someone, the light they cling to
It’s hard up here on your own
When you know just how far you've fallen before
And you, you don't really want to stay
But you don't really have a choice
You took the hit for someone else
And now you lost the most
Come and take me under your silhouette
Everything looks farther from where I stand
Endlessly approaching a serpent sky
You're just the fear in the eyes of a man who's set to die
So c'mon set me on fire
You're the Renaissance man, ahead of your time
It's hard to see why you won't
Step outside of your box, your vertigo zone
But you, you don't really want to fade
Before you really have a voice
The concrete walls are closing in
And you may never know
Your lungs are a barrier
You speak too much, but you say too little
Your pulse's gone cold and there's stars in the middle And you can't quite make them out

Ramblings

He’s a broken boy
Had his story told
Every night on the evening news
Got some resonance
Got some aptitude
Got a reason why it doesn’t add up
These are the ramblings
As I look into
The eyes of the man I’ve become
It’s a mystery
He’s this close to me
And our hands haven’t even touched
Are you a sinner, where are your sins?
I only see a star-crossed story
Where I’m blurring my life with his
Are you a sinner, where are your sins?
I only see a story about a boy
I only see a story about a boy
He pulled me out of the dark this time
But I’m not coming out on top
He says he’ll stand by you forever till the day that you’re dust
But at the first sign of trouble, he retreats to the dark
He’ll offer you an olive branch that burns at the touch
Are you a sinner?
