FLASHBACKS

Some Days

I've failed one too many times
I bought in to find the truth in lies
Some days I feel I'm on my own
Nowhere left to go

I was raised to be an honest man
To stand my ground
When the world don't give a damn
But some days I feel I'm on my own
Nowhere left to go

I'm too proud to ask for someone's help
I've found my own worst enemy's myself
We are all in search of heaven
But some days all we find is hell

I've loved and seen it turn to loss
And what I paid was far beyond the cost
I've changed but still I'm on my own
Nowhere left to go

I'm too proud to ask for someone's help
I've found my own worst enemy's myself
We are all in search of heaven
But some days all we find is hell

I've failed one too many times
And I've lost the will to make things right
Some days I feel I'm on my own
Nowhere left to go

I'm too proud to ask for someone's help
I've found my own worst enemy's myself
We are all in search of heaven
But some days all we find is hell

Never Fade Away

I’ve been walking railroads
I’ve been kicking stones
Trying to find the way back
Trying to find a home
Caught inside a dark spot in the middle of the light
Maybe time just forgot to keep me in its sight
And left me here behind

That city’s like a fast stream
The blur of rushing lights
The way it bends around me
While I live between the lines
The feeling you’re surrounded
The feeling you’re alone
The way the silence shouts it
The way its shadows glow

And with every other step I take
I can feel another slip away
I can see the colors bleed and fade
Like a picture cornered in its frame

Livin’ like a memory trapped inside a room
You can leave alone for centuries but nothin’ ever moves
And like a broken record
The song that plays the same
The notes are still familiar
But the way you hear them changed

And with every other step I take
I can feel another slip away
I can see the colors bleed and fade
Like a picture cornered in its frame

Sometimes when I’m dreaming
That’s when I think I know
The story’s I’ve been reading
The stories still untold
Will give you happy endings
The hope that things can change
Will be forever mending and never fade away
And never fade away
Never fade away

Flashbacks

Had enough
Of the right that we know when it's wrong
Of the good times to know when they're gone
Of the songs that remain be sung
Living life
Carefree and bannered in youth
Built on eternal debut
Neglecting and stretching the truth

Watching time slip away and all its color fade to gray
What’s been written in stone can't be erased

Looking back
We were so young and naïve
To pretend growing up was impossible
Hell, we thought it was optional
Now there’s shadows
Where color found life in the past
And silence where voice had a chance
Left with questions that we’ll never ask

We let time slip away and all its color fade to gray
What we’ve written in stone can't be erased
It’s sad how life slips away
In the blink of an eye it’s gone by
And the flashbacks are all that we manage to save

If we’re lost and can’t find a way
To turn these embers back into a flame
Keep holding on
If we’re lost with no where to run
If the rush we’ve been chasing is gone
Keep holding on

We let time slip away and watched its color fade to gray
But what we’ve written in stone can't be erased
We saw how life slips away
In the blink of an eye it’s gone by
And the flashbacks are all that we manage to save

How You Learn To Live Alone

First you fall, then you fly
And you believe that you belong up in the sky
Flap your arms as you run
Every revolution brings you closer to the sun
You've fallen asleep in motion and uncharted hemispheres
When you wake up with the stars falling down around your ears
And when they hit the ground then nothing but stone
That's how you learn to live alone

Bit by bit, you slip away
And lose yourself in pieces and the things that you don't say
You're not here, but you're still there
The sun goes up, the sun goes down
But you're not sure you care
You live inside the thoughts
Till you don't recognize the truth
People send you pictures and you can't believe it's you
And it's been years since your house has felt like home
That's how you learn to live alone

You don't feel right, but it's not wrong
It's just hard to start again this far along
Brick by brick, the letting go
As you walk away from everything you know
When you release resistance
And you lean into the wind
The roof begins to crumble
And the rain comes pouring in
And you sit there in the rubble
Till the rubble feels like home
That's how you learn to live alone
And that's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone

How Could You Leave

I've been wasting my time since the spring
Waiting on my phone to ring
You say that you miss me too
Tracing my apartment floor
Pacing and checking my door
I'm sure that you miss me too

How could you leave knowing I'd have to keep
All these pictures and clothes in our drawer
I can't believe that you left me for me
On the couch waging living room war
I'm down on my knees
Oh how could you leave

These days I spend home alone
And replay all of our songs
I'm praying you miss me too
Breezeways where we walked alone
Teach me, but you still ain't home
I'm doubting you miss me too

How could you leave knowing I'd have to keep
All these pictures and clothes in our drawer
I can't believe that you left me for me
On the couch waging living room war
I'm down on my knees
Oh how could you leave

Let You Go

I won't say a word, you already know
We keep holding on but there's nothing to hold
Yeah I’m learning how to let you go

So many words, but nothing to say
A half empty heart to scared to walk away
I can’t go on lovin’ in this lie
Sometimes the truth is too hard to hide
And you can see it in my eyes

I won't say a word, you already know
We keep holding on but there's nothing to hold
Yeah I’m learning how to let you go

You say that you can't watch me go
That it can't end this way
And I know that it'd be easier to stay

I won't say a word, you already know
We keep holding on but there's nothing to hold
Yeah I’m learning how to let you go
I won't say a word, you already know
We’re both holding on but there's nothing to hold
Yeah I’m learning how to let you go
Yeah I’m learning how to let you go
I’m learning how to let you go

Running Away

Your wings are chasing after me
Just come home and pretend that you believe
You keep on running with no direction in your steps
Just show me something
Something you have left
You have left

I think you're gonna hurt someone
If you keep running away, you keep running away
You're gonna hurt someone
If you don't change
If you don't change, yeah

So far you've been chasing empty dreams
And your heart is as empty as it seems
I know you're trying to be something that you're not
I know you're crying underneath your broken heart

I think you're gonna hurt someone
If you keep running away, you keep running away
You're gonna hurt someone
If you don't change
If you don't change, yeah

And you fight for your life
And you try to regain the life you once had
And you scream from your heart
And you pray for the strength so you can make it

I think you're gonna hurt someone
If you keep running away, you keep running away
You're gonna hurt someone
If you don't change
If you don't change, yeah
