Shallow Heart

Please tell me that this is the end of the world
Cause I've been smoking myself to death for far too long.
I can see what's behind your eyes,
For me, it's no surprise
I watched it crawl beneath your skin.
Taken, body broken, your aim is sad but true,
It was a stolen kiss, was never meant for this.
Smash a shallow heart, break a boy in two,
It's full of lies and the will to use them.
Some may say that this is justice for the things I done, for the web I spun.
Wish I could see what's behind your eyes,
For me, it's no surprise,
I watched it crawl beneath your skin.

In Our Youth

Don’t walk out the door again,
I never meant a thing I said.
Tell me what you need; I’ll even fucking bleed.
Just don’t leave me here alone.
Now I’m in a haze of smoke.
I pulled myself up by my boots from the floor.
Shots across the bow are a warning from afar,
I’ll work to take this back, make this work, you know?
These words are all I have to say.
I’m trying so hard to make things right.
Let’s share a bottle of something good
And put the world to rights like we did
In our youth.
Our lives won’t move in reverse.
We can’t be 17, no matter what we do.
But I can give you something good,
So let’s take some time to get things right.
This booze is going to my head.
I’m saying stupid things, I’m telling you the truth.
I want to give you what you need,
We can take some time, we can work it out.

End of You
03:17

You crashed against the old turntable,
and left a scar on Born to Run.
I saw the end of you, I saw the end of this,
But I knew I'd found the one.
So I pulled that pen out from behind your ear,
And wrote three words upon your skin,
And I saw the end of us, I saw the end of this,
But I couldn't stop myself.
These words stay true but I never thought I'd leave you.
These words stay true but I never thought I'd see the end.
These words stay true and it's what I think of you.
Words from Bowie float across the room and you're dancing by yourself.
I see it in your eyes, it's really no surprise that things turned out the way they did.
So I pulled that damn from behind your ear and I looked you up and down.
"I'm sorry it had to be like this".

Infinite Regress

Through the murk and the dark,
I'll stare this old man down cause I've good thick skin.
Feel the ache in my bones,
I shake from head to toe from the fever within.
It's got its clutches in me,
I feel it in my soul and I'm taking it down,
I hope.
I won't let it take over, pretending I'm sober but it's crushing me down.
I won't let it take over, trying to be sober but it's crushing me down.
In this bed all alone,
I forget what it's like to sleep
and I'm starting to drown.
Need a light in the dark,
I need to climb out,
I just can't win.
