A walk of fame, down a hall of shame
Something I can’t hold, something you can’t leave unsold
It’s not like you, it’s not like me
I can’t pretend this isn’t who I’d rather be
Unturned, unbothered, anything for free
Unturned, unbothered, anything for free
No small games
And words we put on skin and walls we’ll throw away when we get lost
I can’t say
You can’t see
We can’t know
I can’t stay
What’s good for you is bad for me
And how we kill off days we know won’t last
Gun fight for you, knife fight for me
We couldn’t know the train was coming ‘til it passed
I can’t say where the road is
You can’t see where your heart lives
We can’t know what alive is
All things better left unsaid

Diamonds and Guns 2

Never thought I’d be alive
To see where you’d decide to lie
Can’t see the road
Can’t see the sky
Can’t wait to live
Can’t afford to die
It’s not your fault
And it sure ain’t mine
I’ll live again
Just not tonight

Not Our Days

What ties bind my days?
On the road, no one cares about my ways
Crush space and time
Like cans and smaller lives
In hopes that I’ll have what it it takes to leave this all behind
Crush time and care
In prayer that I’ll soon have the guts to leave you standing there
Don’t tell me time is mine to take
When we both know full well that these are not our days
It’s all a dream, a shipwreck, put me back to sleep
A heart filled with old songs I forgot how to sing

Don’t let ‘em know you’re sane
Throw yourself under the wheels of that train
Don’t let ‘em know you’re good
Throw yourself out of the windows of the world
Bleed out, bleed back in
If history’s worth anything, I swear you’ll live again
Breathe ground, breathe glass
All a cycle to repeat, the things we think we know won’t last

No thoughts inside my head
I’ll melt the afternoon like sand
Some friends, some silence, either way
Heavy as the world might be, it feels light today
Want something
Want nothing
Both worlds can breathe
The time I spend between
The years that feel like weeks
The hours that won’t leave
The minutes that won’t come
The days we know are gone
The years I turned to you
And you looked back at me
Stale-mouthed and timesick
Staring at my feet
I’ve put that world to bed
Wanted nothing, got everything instead
And I’ve gotta say it all reads like a joke
I’ll be laughing ‘til I’m dead
