Maliced Hearts

Verse 1:
I won't disturb you dear when I leave here in the morning
I think it best that I not serve a warning, delay us from admitting just what we did
My head aches as evidence from a night of heavy drinking
Designed to interrupt, distort our thinking, distract from things once felt with young maliced hearts
Verse 2:
The girl I knew back in school she had a different way to get you
In subtlety she found herself a warm ruse enough to make you feel some more alive
When I first became aware of the flash of early interest
The trumpets blared loud enough to deafen, and others seemed extras in a dream
Chorus 1:
I don't know what was done that made you leave
But now we've gone and fucked it up, completely, completely
Verse 3:
When Jack left the party ran to fish his friend out of the river
I stuck around long enough to find a reason to stay as I caught you from afar and all others went dark
The night moved, I found myself in a room had grown more crowded but still unseen by the one that had held my attention
‘Til the cops came to kick, kick, us out into the night
Bridge 1:
The familiar feeling of the tightening of your grip when you're on my mind
Verse 4:
Under cover of darkness I found you, free to forget history, allowed to pretend this was a first meeting, allow ourselves to indulge and put the past in its place
And briefly the girl from back in school returned, the one I knew before the rules the one before the boredom,
The girl who could put all at ease if just given the chance
Chorus 2:
I don’t know what we said that made it bleed
But now we’ve gone and fucked it up, completely
I don’t know what we did that made you leave
I don't know what was done that made you leave
But now we've gone and fucked it up, completely, completely
Bridge 2:
The familiar feeling of the tightening of your grip when you're on my mind
You throw me out of synch, would it be easier to just let it be?
The familiar feeling of the tightening of your grip when you're in my mind
V5:
Now where does this leave us, I don’t want to think myself too hasty
Each moment I feel my feelings ever-changing
I’ve worked too hard getting whole to just give it away
And briefly I’m reminded of trumpets loud enough to deafen
With a stillness found only with divine intervention
It’s the thought that I take with me on my way out the door

Patience
03:56

Sit upright and breathe. There's always somewhere else to be
Free from time so absently invested and seldom protested
Some sudden space leaves a void for anxiety to creep in
Once it takes it's hard to throw a wrench into the mechanics
Oooh Don't give up. Don't give in, to distractions live your life sleeping in
Let yourself go, trust not knowing. Got to be a patient patient.
Let patience lead you there
At my best, I behold the truth hiding behind the curtain
It doesn't last and I throw myself to ruin by trying to keep it.
It’s not mine. It’s not meant for the keeping
Oooh Don't give up. Don't give in, to distractions live your life sleeping in
Let yourself go, trust not knowing. Got to be a patient patient.
Let patience lead you there
Oooh Don't give up. Don't give in, to distractions Live your life sleeping in
Oooh Don't give up. Don't give in, to distractions Live your life sleeping in
Let yourself go, trust not knowing.
Got to be a patient patient. Let patience lead you there

You don't need to fight back when you're exposed
The damage done is at its worse when you shut down
Honey, are you listening?
Your heart don't need the wall of stone
Honey, are you listening?
You can't get in when you are on your own
I know little about the things you choose to ignore
But I'm sussing them out to show their tenuous hold
Honey, are you listening?
They look so weak in the light
Honey, are you listening?
They won't let go without a fight
Chorus
If you were better off with me leaving
In an instant I'd be gone
But tonight I fear that you should not be alone
If the best I can do is love you
Let you lean to hold you up
Would you let me help you back where you belong
I'm not sure how you got under my skin
But there's one thing I know for certain
There's a warmth that wasn't there before you came
Honey, are you listening I'll take the good with the bad
Honey, are you listening I'll take that which drives you mad
Chorus

Don't Be The Last One In

Come out come out where you are where you live in my head
Idle you wait when i need you the least you Appear
Move to the front, don't be the last one in
It'll leave you suffering
Not safe in your own home
When the panic hits
The voices in chorus sing
Leave me alone
Bones, bones, bones, they give me weight and give me shape in my skin
That which troubles me most has no mass has no form but always wins
Move to the front, don't be the last one in
It'll leave you suffering
Not safe in your own home
When the panic hits
The voices in chorus sing
Leave me alone
