Track Name: Holiday
I still don't know what I am waiting for I feel my spirit soar & these chamber doors that's locking me down, I found the key but I never said a word about it.
I make believe I'm in a different place I've got my heart on race & I'm fucking with my Serotonin.
I trick the days into turning me to somebody else.
Now I'm staring through cold eye arrived yesterday's horizons. Rumbling through the rat holes... going on with nowhere to go.

And I don't want to waste my life here waiting for another sad year to take me to those tables waiting
surrounded by those same old faces staring at me.
I don't want to be there & I don't want this world to go on. I don't want to be there & I don't want this world to go on.

I don't know what we are doing here we've made it very clear that we don't belong in each other's lives
but here we are drunk & soulless in the still of the night
Counterfeiting all my cavalier days back when my wanton ways always led me to those warming embers, but now I feel your flames burns but I don't give a fuck about it.
I'm just going through the motions trying to not think about it.

And I don't want to waste my life here waiting for another sad year to take me to those tables waiting
surrounded by those same old faces.. thinking,
we don't want to be here but we don't want to talk about it. we don't want to be here but we don't want to talk about it. No, we don't want to be here but we don't want to talk about it
Track Name: Crashing In
It was one of those nights when it all comes crashing in. You're saying goodbye through your eyes to your only friend. And though your words are chosen & you never let on, he could still hear the pain in your siren song, still... He never even tried to put his arm around you.

It was one of those days when you're looking for a new direction. Taring up the pavements looking for a soul protection. But it's one of those towns where you can't get lost & unless you take the road where the streets don't cross. You'll be doing this again, pulling at the reigns of depression.

You are alone... You are . . .

It was one of those times when it all catches up to you. You're still on your own & there's nothing else that you can do. Well you can try to pretend to be somebody else, but if that's what he wants then you're still by yourself, sleeping like a whore or a child in a stranger's room. Sleeping like a whore or a child in a stranger's room.

It's one of those nights when the wind is blowing wild, & you remember to yourself from the time that you were a child, dreaming like an angel in your family home, waking to the sound of the sparrow song, now you're up here all alone, drinking in the lap of depression. You never thought you'd be here all alone, drinking in the lap of depression.

You're all alone... You are...

It was one of those nights when it all comes crashing in. You're saying goodbye in your mind to your only friend. Though he's laying right beside you in a chamber sleep, You're still waiting for that stranger out there wandering the street. Will he ever come to get you & take you where you want to be? Will he ever come to get you & take you far away from me. Will he ever come to get you & take you where you want to be? Will he ever come to get you & take you far away from me.

I am alone
Track Name: Josie
Boys, boys, she never gets tired, she's always hanging around
Boys, boys, She'll never retire, she'll always be the talk of this town
And if these cannibals don't eat her up,
then someone rich is gonna snatch her up
And if she cannot make the clocks rewind,
then she'll have herself another bottle of wine

She said, Boys, boys, you know I'm really wild, I'll drink you under these tables
Girls, girls with your daggers for eyes, looking me down, like Cain looked at Able
And I've always been a street cat
And I know when not to turn my back
From the cities to the small towns
All the same lonely faces come gathering 'round

And she said, Boy, boy. look in my eyes, I'll only do this for you
And oh, boy, I'd even retire, if you'd only take me back to your room
And if you take away the spotlight
I'd trade it in for daylight
And I'd walk with you into the sun
Through those silent fields we both would run away.

Until they said, Boys, boys, she never got tired, look who's hanging around
Oh, boy, I knew she'd never retire, she'll always be, the talk of this same old town
Track Name: Cold Heartless Lonely Days
I am afraid nothing will change
the world will go on this way
If the passing of time does not bring on change
and nothing is happening
I will be forced to stay in my room
Cursed be to the sun
Cursed be to the moon
I will be forced to stay in my home
here on my own afraid and alone
oh and it's true, the world is an enemy
Leave me alone, I've stopped fighting entropy

I'm not designed to live in this time
of death and debauchery
Where the poet is scorned
and while his poetry burns
the killer gains infamy
I wont resign, to wasting my only time
trapped in a maze of cold heartless lonely days

You were so shy and you loved to hide
behind your astrology
Now you're as far as the cold lonely stars
that you swore brought you here to me
And now we live in a world of affairs
don't talk about love, because it
doesn't mean I care
close the door, that was before,
now I don't need you anymore
I wont resign, to wasting my only time
trapped in a maze of cold heartless lonely days
