Long Nights 04:42
If you wanted closure, love That's all you had to say To be completely honest We are better off this way Because I can't stand the late night calls And saying good night to a phone I'd rather have no one Than have you and be alone I admit to one regret That loving you was my intent It's nothing that the drugs won't cure But think that if we had that chance I wouldn't hate me like I do For letting go of me and you Convincing myself to believe That's it's okay to let this be So, tonight I'll drink my wine And try to sleep Letting all the blood in my head Flow to my feet I know that if I die tonight At least you're in my mind I'm happier than I've been in months And your memory is to thank

Wexxford 04:16
If I could put my eyes in the palm of your hand Could you see? If I could hold you up by the soles of your shoes Could you walk? Now, it's not fair that I'm so lost That I can't wake before the moon It's not fair that I'm so lost I can't wake before the moon But I get on...

Empty Hands 04:56
I run my fingers down the blade of your disgusting gaze I hope to taste what drips from the edge of your burning deceit Maybe the taste of my own lifelessness Maybe... These empty hands settle a bet That's grown too old for you and me These empty arms are yours So take them I run my fingers down the blade of your disgusting gaze I hope to smell the flesh that burns after I light myself Through this dark tunnel Maybe... These empty hands settle a bet That's grown too old for you and me These empty arms are yours So take them
4.
Hold my hand until the day is done Hold my head until the rain has come I can't believe that we missed it I can't believe we pretended Tone it down, I'm just getting started Turn it up, I want you to listen I can't believe that we missed it I can't believe we pretended When the sun goes down We will snatch you from your window When the moon comes up We will show you all these things

You Kids 04:02
He comes around again And he loves her He comes around again And he runs You don't know where he will go You don't know where he has been Say what you want me to say I don't care to speak Say what you want me to say I don't care to breathe Anymore She comes around again And she loves him She comes around again And she runs You don't know where she will go You don't know where she has been Say what you want me to say I don't care to speak Say what you want me to say I don't care to breathe Anymore
6.
You cracked my bones But you spared my spine Maybe just so I would feel the pain Of ever smiling at you Or to watch me split my veins And spit into the rain Maybe, that's all she wanted Maybe, that's all she wanted So, I took in the pain And I gave you room to breathe Still, your words, they come And now I can bare no more With bleeding eyes and burning tears Maybe, that's all she wanted Maybe, that's all she wanted
7.
She sings to me the colors Of a sunset sky A tear on her cheek, she says "There's no reason why" Wasting the hours away While she screams "Listen", she whispers, when she tells you It's all a dream... And it's been so long since I've seen you smile Why won't you come back
8.
I can hear her in the morning She's standing naked in the bathroom crying She says, "Baby, where do I go now?" "It's like I never knew my life before this..." And I know, Lord, I know That we get everything That we give in And get a little bit from who we are After midnight, when the moon is high An empty bottle mirrors Misery I can tell her she's still beautiful But it's like she never knew she was before this

Sweet 04:26
Take my trembling fingers And stop them from feeling awkward All I need right now Is something to take this away Take this away And give me back serenity All I need right now Is all that's been left for me Can no one give me back That place I need to be? But, it's good, good to see That you're happy Good to see, good to see That you're happy And if it's Sweet that you are looking for It's Sweet that you will find I'm fumbling words with a twisted tongue I'm naked and undone And if it's Sweet that you are looking for It's Sweet that you will find I'm fumbling words with a twisted tongue It's difficult to breathe So, here I am With my blank expression It seems that I am looking for Your hands extended And does that mean that I'm selfish In my attempts to speak? Or do you need proof of something That you cannot see? And if it's Sweet that you were looking for It's Sweet that you will find I'm fumbling words with a twisted tongue I'm naked and undone And if it's Sweet that you were looking for It's Sweet that you will find I'm fumbling words with a twisted tongue It's difficult to breathe

Clarity 04:56
I can't take my ears off of The air that's pushed from her lips The kneading grip her right hand bestows on her left Reminds me of emotion I left lonely Years and years ago Now, I can taste the look she gives me from below A setting smile she's stolen from the ones we know She says she's never been so alone And that she still can't remember when Happiness met with Forever And shook hands on her name And gave her life away And Clarity comes when she opens her eyes Clarity comes at 5 a.m. She can't take that away from me No, she can't just walk away She can't take that away from me No, she can't just walk away "Don't stop being where you stand" She says, and pantomimes my fall Untying her cramped fingers Pointing at me to affirm her convictions She says, "I'm not here to watch you drown" "But, I will if I have to" She says she's never been so alone That she still can't remember when Happiness met with Forever And shook hands on her name And gave her life away And Clarity comes when she opens her eyes Clarity comes at 5 a.m. She can't take that away from me No, she can't just walk away She can't take that away from me No, she can't just walk away

I am all that is left of a songwriter's imagination.
No, you'll never have the privilege of knowing me.

My name is Bixxby.
No, that's not the name of someone in the band.
Yes, the two X's are necessary.

My name is Bixxby.
Let someone else hear this when you're done with the Internet.

My name is Bixxby.
Yes, I know what the Internet is.

Now, pardon me... I must roll over.
