You smile in those pictures girl, but I know that you're feeling pretty down. You're looking like you're needing something, let me be the one to help you out. Your head’s in a bad place, I can see it in your face. The streets are getting darker, all the parties and the bars are shutting down. You’re staring at the moon, and I’m staring at my shoes like they could help us now. Your head’s in a bad place, I can see it in your face. There's nothing more to give so take. Oh, the water in the tank ran dry. Oh, the fire in your chest won't die. Oh, It keeps you alive. You're collecting dust and I'm collecting one night loves. But I'm digging deeper now - scared myself with what I found. You smile in those pictures girl, but I know that you're feeling pretty down. Well they say it takes one to know one, so maybe I'm the one who needs some help right now. Your head’s in a bad place, your eyes give it away. There's nothing more to give so now we're gonna take. Oh, the water in the tank ran dry. Oh, the fire in your chest won't die. Oh, It keeps you alive. Tonight is the last night I’m living in the past. Tonight is the last - tonight, tonight. The world stopped on a dime and life keeps passing me by. I always told you I didn't write about my life - but would you say if that was all just a lie? This time is the last time. Oh, the water in the tank ran dry. Oh, the fire in your chest won't die. Oh, It keeps you alive.

I’m in, but the water’s cold. The storm has gathered, I can feel it in my bones. I'll weather this one. Counted out, but count me in. You act like I don’t know where your head’s been. Give me a little credit. You’ve got me in a bind, I’m calling time out, calling time out. You tried to pull me down, but you stoop too low. A bargain with your conscience doesn’t get you off the hook. We’ve all been there before. I’ve felt the loudest noise, but I’ll level this whole town with my voice. You gave me no choice. You’ve got me in a bind, I’m calling time out, calling time out. Oh please just go on, this is the last stop for me. Now I’m on my own, the weight of the earth is killing me. Oh Columba, the devil is on you, buried alive in the grave that I dug you. The afterlife closes in all around you, dreamed or imagined no heaven or hell. Like Lazarus sleeping, declared dead, but still alive and breathing. Awake the walking dead. Took a walk to calm my nerves. Decided we all get what we deserve. These are my last words. You’ve got me in a bind, I’m calling time out. Oh please just go on, this is the last stop for me. Now I’m on my own, the weight of the earth is killing me.

Galilee 03:01
I got myself lost when I found you. You said you’d be honest, but you weren’t true. Galilee, part your seas, let me through. For better or worse I’m rewriting history. I'm lost in the woods, you've got me baring my teeth. We only get one final last goodbye. You’ve been a bad, bad girl but you know it. This ain’t nothing new, it’s old news to us both. The noise from the street below drowns out your stereo, but I feel the beat in my bones. You took one but you let down the team. I took two to get myself a night’s sleep. We had our cake and we cleaned our plates. You’ve been a bad, bad girl but you know it. This ain’t nothing new, it’s old news to us both. The noise from the street below drowns out your stereo, but I feel the beat in my bones. I’m letting it all go.

Undertow 03:39
You're pulling me back in today, the calm before the tidal wave. I'm swimming out, i know it's a mistake. Catalog the drugs you've done - The times you may have been in love - I'm trying to figure out just how I will stack up. Oh how do I stack up? Our friends all talk, Yeah they sure do talk. And they've got a point or two - They can’t be that far off. It’s easy to give up - I know you practiced it enough. So prove them wrong and take a break from breaking hearts. You're looking down and looking out. The gears are turning round and round. Working hard on listing all of my shortcomings. The air is thick with the words we don't say - Forever, tomorrow, yesterday. Walking by that store where you don't like to shop these days since you got so trendy. It's just not you anymore Our friends all talk, Yeah they sure do talk. And they've got a point or two - They can’t be that far off. It’s easy to give up - I know you practiced it enough. So prove them wrong and take a break from breaking hearts, please, And spare mine I'm sinking but you're swimming. Undertow gotta hold of me. I'm sinking you're swimming. Talk is cheap but gossip’s free. Our friends all talk, yeah, they sure do talk. Choking on the words we don't say, chase them down with coke and whiskey. It’s easy to give up. I know you practiced it enough. But prove them wrong - Prove them wrong You're pulling me back in today, the calm before the tidal wave. I'm swimming out, i know it's a mistake.
