The Walls

Mr. Peña plays the saxophone
He was my teacher, the best I'd ever known
But when he came home he walked through the walls
But there's no one left for him at all
These walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
So many things I've left unsaid, get it all out of my broken head
So many things I'll never do, so many days to wait for you
Where I'd go, what I would think I would be I just wish I could see
I'd be okay, okay, okay
These walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
These walls lock me away
What do I want to be today
I'm working to get ahead
And I'll struggle until the day I am dead
Everyone still scratches at the walls
Even though all they wanted it lost
These walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
What I want to be, I'll never know just where we were
If you were here, if you were by my side, I'd hold you close, so near to me
So nearly trodden down I'd run away from where we were
But now I'm here all alone, I wish that I was her
These walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
These walls lock me away
What do I want to be today
These walls lock me away
These walls lock me away
Away, away from here
Away, away

Flashbang

Well a young blood craves the forbidden gold
But it's more, oh so more, than you have got to hold
Scarlet tipped spoons forged in cascading silver
The beckoning call brings us all to a quiver
But you know
It's all a show
And I see through
The lies
Wring them before our cries
Fear is something that you must always believe
Fear is something that you must always believe
Now we get depression from oppression
Solemn eyes, bloated lies, would you see my surprise
You see the same thing on the silver screen
A snake oil salesman with his loaded dreams
With a shock and slap as the flashbangs crack
I fell down on the ground with the world on my back
But you know
It's all a show
And I see through
The lies
Wring them before our cries
Fear is something that you must always believe
Fear is something that you must always believe
Lay me down upon the ground
I won't fight in this war anymore
Broken knives, shattered lines
Do you look at me as I'm your brother now
Or am I still a stranger?
But you know
It's all a show
And I see through
The lies
Wring them before our cries

I'm grasping at straws
Trying to find some way for me to make
My way out of here
I don't know what you got in store for me
But I'd rather pack up and take my leave
Than end up being part of your scams
Now look into my tired eyes
See that I am sick of all the lies
You wanna break my spirit
Better go and put your back into it
I want my soul to be relieved
No, it's never meant to be
Hushed whispers, they tell your story
Golden eyed but you're oh so gory
You push my soul down to its knees
Backed in the corner and I'm scared like hell
'Cause I'm clawing and I'm fighting and I'm trying to yell
But I think this is going to be my end
Now look into my tired eyes
See that I am sick of all the lies
You wanna break my spirit
Better go and put your back into it
Cold hands wrapped around my neck
And I'm blinking in and out of consciousness
Oh no, oh no, my soul is to be relieved
Oh no, my soul is to be relieved
Oh no, my soul is to be relieved
Oh no, my soul is to be relieved
Oh no, my soul is to be relieved

Sleeping Dogs

Step away from me
Just a little bit, you don't need my company
In the twilight of your life
Will you understand? Don't follow me through the night
Look into my endless eyes
See that I can cry no more
Comprehend this feeling
As I drift from your shore
Let sleeping dogs lie
Keep your mouth shut tight
Wasted potential, that's all we ever were
Walk away and you will see what you can build from the shell of me
Take it, use it, make sure you don't abuse it
I'll fade away into obscurity
Let sleeping dogs lie
Bottle it all up inside
Don't you understand
There never was a plan
Tonight I'll be a heartless bastard
I've got this horrible feeling mastered
Let sleeping dogs lie
Keep your mouth shut tight
Wasted potential, that's all we ever were
Walk away and you will see what you can build from the shell of me
Take it, use it, make sure you don't abuse it
I'll fade away into obscurity
Let sleeping dogs lie
Bottle it all up inside
Tonight I'll be a heartless bastard
I've got this horrible feeling mastered
Nothing good comes from moving forward
The prize is always behind the other door
You only get one flavor from the candy store
You never get, you never get, you never get anymore
Why'd we think we could break the rules?
Why'd we think? We were such fools
Why'd we think we could own the place?
The darkness comes quick, we were running late
Why'd you shine this light on me?
I thought I'd hidden everything that you shouldn't see
Let sleeping dogs lie
Keep your mouth shut tight
Wasted potential, that's all we ever were
Walk away and you will see what you can build from the shell of me
Take it, use it, make sure you don't abuse it
I'll fade away into obscurity
Let sleeping dogs lie
Bottle it all up inside

I been missing you here at the table
Going on without you, I'm not able
And it hurts to hear it so, oh oh
I can't bear to know
Oh I can't bear to know
Oh no, no, no
How many times I say those words
I don't know just what they mean
How many times I write them down
All I can ever do is scream
How many times I held you close
As we whispered in our ears
How long ago did that all end
All I ever have are tears
I been missing you here at the table
Going on without you, I'm not able
And it hurts to hear it so, oh oh
I can't bear to know
I cannot bear to know
I cannot bear to know
And you whisper once again
As you hold me far away
But you say that we're just friends
And that's where we shall stay
Now I'm waiting for the joke
The punchline to calm my fears
But you say there's nothing left
Of us here
I been missing you here at the table
Going on without you, I'm not able
And it hurts to hear it so, oh oh
I cannot bear to know

When I'm with you
Underneath the covers that all belong to you
We found a tune that played all day into the night
But it's all gone
Wish we could remember how it always went
I found my harmony elsewhere but I'm still happy for you
And if we burn together we can still light the room
But when we dance our ways it's always two separate tunes
And I'm stuck here wondering if you still think of me
In the moonlight
I always sit and wonder what keeps you up all night
Do the dreams we dream share the same reality
Are we all through?
I found my harmony elsewhere but I'm still happy for you
And if we burn together we can still light the room
But when we dance our ways, now it's two separate tunes
I found my harmony elsewhere but I'm still happy for you
And if we burn together we can still light the room
But when we dance our ways, now it's two separate tunes
