Home Sweet Home (free) 03:24
I’ve got something I'd like to get off my chest This room has had a lot of memories Some good, some bad, history’s been had And I still can say home sweet home I wish these stars would align The way the streetlights do in this indiana sky But in the end when it is time to choose You know that I would never choose you For just this once can we abandon bitterness? And bask in these moments, and just forget the rest? Come on kid, who are you trying to impress? By growing up so fast and leaving behind all your friends Growing up in this town can be a drag Everyone trying to get out, I’m trying to get back Home, I know my ambition will kill me But in the end I just need a few simple things This is my home, these are my friends, there is a sound inside my head, and if I just can get it out, I could pass on without doubt, that there is hope, an ultimate truth, things beyond me and you. I’m not there yet, but I’m closer now, I’m glad I sat here and wrote this down

The Innocents Abroad (free) 04:17
It's not just a confession, it's a carnal sin. It's a felony, what you have done to me. Why won't you return my calls? I feel so pitiful, checking my phone hourly for a message you'll never send me Sinking this ship like only I can, look at us and know that we're innocent, innocents abroad. Sinking this ship. I wish every time I see the clock pass the time that we disagreed on so many times, that it would pass me by. Because when I see it, I see you. There's nothing that I can do to get you off my mind, because it's 11:11 and I'm wondering why. Sinking this ship like only I can, look at us and know that we're innocent. Innocents abroad. I’ll be here waiting for you to say the word(say it, say it!)and I might just lose my mind, waiting all this time For you to turn around and see what is right in front of... your eyes make me lose my nerve and I know it sounds so absurd, but I’m innocent. Innocent abroad. Going down screaming, crying. All my hope is dwindling, dying in a sense. We’re Innocents abroad. I'm looking forward to taking it slow.

Landlocked (free) 04:33
What are you gonna believe, me or the things you read? I'll be here waiting for you, with a rose between my teeth. In my teeth. The only thing wrong with you, is that you're not here. I wonder if they're all laughing at me. We'll see. I'm landlocked, and the best I can do is sing these songs I'm writing for you. I expect to violently awake, shaking, screaming, thinking "how much more can I take?" I'm holding my breath trying to forget all the false loves I had before we met. I want that blur we had when we were younger. Explain to me how I'm supposed to keep my heart from pounding, when it's your heart too. It belongs to you. There's nothing that I can do. The only thing wrong with you is that you're not here.
5.
Weddings & Funerals (free) 03:32
There'll be time to sleep when we're dead these eyes have seen your world and I hate this place and these people this face tells tales of smiles and frowns I'm an orphan and widower my heart beats for things my conscience scorns save me from old age and wearing health save pity for the old, and envy for the dead Some of us will die some of us will kill some die before they can live some have no story to tell Weddings and funerals give me rest and give me forgetfulness give me open road, endless miles get me the hell away from this place I hate you because of the much needed sleep you've robbed me things won't fall into place like I wish the would and my red eyes are killing me.

In these walls lie a secret we've been keeping for years. In church basements, and empty halls. Instead of shopping malls, and bathroom stalls. I know this is hell for you, but don't you know it gives me hell too? (hell, too!) But this is how I sleep at night this ringing in my ears is my lullaby, tonight. Let's hold onto this phase for as long as we can. We built this with our own hands and it's time we fight for it before it dies again. Let's build a stage and lights and show this town tonight. This is our family, you can't take that from me. I'm so scared of being alone. I don't want to be abandoned.

Choose Fun...Again! (free) 01:32
Tonight I'm gonna dance until my back breaks. Tonight I'm gonna die.

Everything is covered in rust I can't stand it, it's been a long winter it's hard for me to hold my tongue when I'm crawling out of my skin listen, you asshole. I'm trying so hard listen, you asshole. To not mess this up I've got an average intellect and a full heart I'm trying to have a heart, build a soul but starting from scratch is difficult I apologize for all the excuses. Bury my bad habits and predispositions I am just my father's son not holding signs, not holding guns not hurting anyone and even though his pictures in his wallet are no longer my own, I'm still his son. Listen, you asshole, this is my home listen, you asshole, I've got nowhere to go God save me, or science save my soul.

Say Nothing (free) 02:48
Look at me with my tail between my legs Jealousy, trademark of a small mind I know the part all too well. Assume that everything I touch will always be mine. I never thought I would be this scared Wish sudden wind would take me away I wish I could’ve had faith like you. I was born to be a martyr for nobody ,I’m sorry I tried my best to ignore it, to forget to leave everything Children and fools always speak the truth. (and I’ve never heard a lie out of you) I'd rather tell one thousand lies Than explain myself one bloody time If you have nothing to say, say nothing.

So They Say (free) 03:48
If life's a question, let's be the answer. I'll be honest with myself. If I could bury my conscience, I know the epitaph would read... "I've told so many lies, but I never said goodbye to my friends, and I never would've guessed that this lonely, tired town would be my home in the end" Save me from lonely daydreams that fall apart at the seams. Save me, let's make these dreams a reality. I've spent a long time staring at the blacktop, wondering when things would change for me. I've spent a lifetime staring at the skyline, wondering when it'd be time to leave. I'm staying. Home is where the heart is... or so they say.
