LEAVING THE DUNGEON
04:10

First of all I'm lost but I'm just fine, I've received intervention from the divine
I don't know if my compass is right, so I'm gonna follow you into the light
I don't wanna drift out of sight, and I don't wanna sink my ship just out of spite,
But when i'm leaving my dungeon behind, understand I'm scared of what I'll find
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
Leave my dungeon on a Monday, I’ll make it through the woods by Sunday
I'll never make way back there again
Walking through the woods, keep my guitar with me like I know I should
Play the animals my little songs, They’re leading the way so now it won't be long
I've gotta be brave, gotta be strong, Gotta pray that everything doesn't go wrong
Yea, I've gotta eat and get just enough sleep, If I wanna escape a dungeon so deep
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
Leave my dungeon on a Monday, I’ll make it through the woods by Sunday
I know it's starting all over again
I'm leaving I'm leaving I'm leaving through the dungeon walls
A secret door opens, I'm leaving behind haunted halls
Not perfect, been hurting, I'm tired of feelin' frail and small
It's worth it, I've earned it, I hear the world outside it calls to me
(Hey yea, hey) I hear the world outside it calls to me
(Hey yea, hey) I'm tired of feelin' frail and small and weak
(Hey yea, hey) I'm leaving behind haunted halls I'm free
(Hey yea, hey) I'm leaving through the dungeon walls

LEVIATHAN'S SONG
01:46
|
|||
|
Waiting on another seventh chance, the only way to give my life back to God's Plan
I've seen every demon, strayed far from his hands again, I need help defeating the Leviathan
You shouldn't have to be afraid, of feelin' so misunderstand
You never have to feel okay, as long as you're still feelin'
Waiting on some honesty and truth, the crazy and deranged liar is on the loose
I'm been tryna keep him locked inside his cage always, but it seems every evening he still swims away
You shouldn't have to be afraid, of feelin' so misunderstand
You never have to feel okay, Feels like I'm bad at feeling good
Leviathan out in the waves, I’m never doin' what I should
Sometimes I wanna kneel and pray, so I can stop this feelin'

PRETTY FACE NEVER
03:03
|

|
Hear my song, hanging on a broken string , Feel my hand, holding on for just one thing
Feel my wings, feel like soaring
Didn't waste a single breath instead I wrote them, Saving words for later livin' in my moment
I had to find somebody else whose face was glowing
I wanted to be better, but now I've started wondering if that pretty face was ever there
Innocent, only by association, Had my trial, my defense on false pretenses
Seething won, now-i'm by my side
Didn't waste a single breath instead I wrote them, Saving words for later livin' in my moment
I had to find somebody else whose face was glowing
I wanted to be better, but now I've started wondering if that pretty face was ever there

GREENCOAT ANTHEM
02:31
|

|
Even if I wanted, I would never try to see the things best left unseen
I try to keep it simple-and-write another song about the sleeves I'm wearing green
Even when i was laying on the floor, rotting as you opened up the door
I know I know I know
Yeah It's no secret to me, that they'll love me when I leave, so I'm always gonna wear my heart on my
Never will I have to, write another song about the years being so mean
Soon I'll have to write another-about riding around in a big green stretch limousine
If you never want your ship to sink, read a book on how to never think
Staying home I'm right on time, a way to feel like I'm alright
It pays to feel like I can get some sleep
I'm leaving home a wild night , I hold my coat around me, tight
I brave the cold and pray my soul to keep
Yeah It's no secret to me, that they'll love me when I leave, so I'm always gonna wear my heart on my sleeve

FRANKENSTEIN'S SONG
02:20
|
|||
|
Even when I lose my mind I lose it for the process
And when I fall in love I lose my mind just to get obsessed
Even when I say the things a good man's s'posed to say
I'll always be a monster, Frankenstein, lock me away
I can't sing anything without this air I'm breathin’, but I can sing a little something to believe in
How could I ever think that my life was worth leaving? It’s like I had to hurt everyone to get even
When everything else is goin' wrong
I write my songs.

MANIKIN BOY
02:28
|
|||
|
Even when I, was a problem, I knew someday I'd likely lose sight, I wanted to be wrong but I was right
Even when I, I was younger, I was looking for reasons to cry, I wanted to be old but I was wise
Way back when I was a child, my body was free and wild
Now I'm still and uninspired, just a puppet on a wire
Like an broken amplifier, like a manikin on fire
Every weekend, I was thinking, "Maybe someday I'll give up the fight”
I knew I wasn't wrong, but it wasn't right
Keep it even, leave me bleeding, read my little notes I write at night
And when you leave my home, turn off the lights
Way back when I was a child, my body was free and wild
Now I'm still and uninspired, just a puppet on a wire
I unnaturally survive, like a manikin alive

HOSPITAL SOCKS
06:07
|
|||
|
Can you keep a secret if I tell you something? I was barely eating yeah I could barely function
on any day, every single day
I couldn't believe it, I thought it was nothing, looked-in-a bottomless pit and then I thought of jumping
far away, then I was locked away
Heaven stays, away cuz I don't wanna go there, I don't wanna go there, today
Seven days, away now I don't wanna go there, no I don't wanna go there, okay?
And all the places I've stayed are the same, a little worse or a bit better for the brain
I've worn a hundred wristbands on my arm with my birthday and name
And when I wear these socks I've got myself to blame
Put me on a stretcher, stick me with an I-V, somebody found a letter on the floor where they found me
all by my self, with my own self
One day I'll be better, one day I'll breathe easy, I’m gonna disappear for a while so you can see me
in better health, in better health
Heaven stays, away cuz I don't wanna go there, I don't wanna go there, today
Seven days, away now I don't wanna go there, no I don't wanna go there, okay?
And all the places I've stayed are the same, a little worse or a bit better for the brain
I've worn a hundred wristbands on my arm with my birthday and name
And when I wear these socks I've got myself to blame
With passion irreplaceable, with potential like a knife,
this bond we share is dangerous, and lasts as long as life.
