Forever Damned 04:12
lyrics
buy track
How did I find myself out here A place so distant yet so near I think I'll try to find a way Out from the shadows I once feared It's been so long since I've seen you But you're out living your life now There's nothing more that I can do Except get over you somehow But I don't know how Out from the grave I crawl once more But it's not like it was before I shout your name but you can't hear It's what I always used to fear You found another just like me And long forgot what we once had If only you could look and see How I'm stuck here forever damned Forever damned My world has died But I remember those times When the world was wide enough for you and me But now I'm stuck Living in the world between Please let me free You said our love would always last But that all changed once time had passed I laid to die but you were weak You chose to turn the other cheek For that I stay to haunt your days A hungry ghost beyond the grave And I repeat to you this phrase You'll live your life to me a slave You won't be saved My world has died But I remember those times When the world was wide enough for you and me But now I'm stuck Living in the world between And you won't let me free My world has died And I'm haunted by the memories Of when you left me dying here alone You left me stuck In the world that lies between When will I be free

Sugar Mama 05:27

Two more blocks 'till my apartment I feel like my world just freed up I don't think that I did need her But I know my wallet did Bored and drunk, Monday night It's not right, think I might call you up Think last night to our fight When I left you alone Said you don't wanna resent me As if I would care It don't matter to me cause I I don't want you around I'm losing my mind just a little Thinking 'bout words that you told me I'm bursting right into laughter Remembering lies that you sold me No, your whole old age and your wisdom Don't excuse things that you've done to me I'm better off broke and alone Than be with you one more day sugar mama Drivin' in the car you bought me And you left your checkbook in it I don't care who sees me in this I'm just glad that you're not in it Trying to stay awake But without a place to stay Walked into a hotel Booked a room in your name Then I woke up, 4AM on the curb I wish this wouldn't happen again But I know it will I'm losing my mind just a little Thinking 'bout words that you told me I'm bursting right into laughter Remembering lies that you sold me No, your whole old age and your wisdom Don't excuse things that you've done to me And I'm better off broke and alone Than be with you one more night sugar mama I'm losing my mind just a little Thinking 'bout words that you told me I'm bursting right into laughter Remembering lies that you sold me No, your whole old age and your wisdom Don't excuse things that you've done to me And I'm better off broke and alone Than be with you one more time sugar mama

Down On The Breakline 06:54
lyrics

She pulls me down to an endless sea I thought I would drown down there I woke up in a sky of reddish green As they pulled out all of my hair I couldn't see who was with me there But I knew I was being watched Through my mind a voice rang out It was telling me to stop It's a place I think I've seen before In a dream a thousand years old Their words are soft but I heard it said That my arrival here was foretold So what in the world can I do to refuse This pipeline of hiveminds They tried to keep me way out there Down on the breakline I arrived in a distant land Though my memory is hazy I tried to walk but my legs won't move Or maybe I'm just lazy And in my head it's a constant pain It's dull and it's somehow sharp The music of those around me played With their theremins and their harps Looked in my drawer and found a note It said to have a great time But something told me it was written by those Down on the breakline Oh, yeah, yeah Bring it down, down, down, down Down on Down on the breakline Yeah, bring it down, yeah I think now the day has come I'm no longer threatened by the old one And suddenly the life I lived made sense But it didn't have a purpose Still I ask myself, do things feel right I'm probably just to nervous While comfort is far unknown It's better than how things were I'm a much luckier man than most Cause of our contract on paper It promised me all that I need And possibly more It told me I'd get my own land On my own little island Just that I would have to stand Down on the breakline Ah, yeah, yeah Ooh Oh yeah Down, down, down, down on the breakline Yeah mama Sugar mama, yeah Pretty lady, yeah, yeah Ooh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Yeah, on our own little island Down by the breakline Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ah Yeah, yeah, yeah Who is the old one

You took my hand and pulled me out With a look I knew without a doubt We said let's not do this no more But now we're drunk and on the floor And I'm no good for you And you're no good for me, oh no (no) Yet I'm still drawn to you So I know what to do Just go with it (go with it) Yes, this is bad for us But I've got no one left to trust So let's Hold on now let's just think this through About who'd be hurt by me and you And yeah, maybe things will go to shit And right now I just know I can't resist And I'm no good for you And you're no good for me, just go with it (no) Yet I'm still drawn to you So I know what to do Just go with it (go with it) Yes, this is bad for us But I've got no one left to trust So let's Now we don't even speak no more Things are worse now than they were before And right now this might bring us pain I always knew our love could not sustain And I'm no good for you And you're no good for me, oh no (no) Yet I'm still drawn to you So I know what to do Just go with it (go with it) Yes, this is bad for us But I've got no one left to trust So let's go with it (go with it) Yeah, this is bad for us But I've got no one left to trust So let's

After The End 05:28
lyrics

I found our names carved in a tree From a time when we felt free I only wanted three, you asked for more And I gave into your request Woke up at four, drunk on the floor In a house beside the shore You wanted more, I asked for less And I gave into the unrest She was my love turned to a ghost She ran away as do most I broke her heart and went back home Now my heart is left to roam I sit and wait to pass the time Self-medicate and I feel fine But when day turns night, I try to fight The thoughts of her inside my mind I'm on the roof of my hotel Thought I was fine until I fell Down on my knees, I wish to free my mind And leave it all behind Why do they all turn into ghosts The ones I used to trust the most I want to find my way back home Through rivers and valleys, I will roam
