Cold snap, on a bitter night The fire, it flickers in your eyes And I can’t see, whether you’ve punched that ticket Same suit, but the holes they’ve been mended Do you remember where you are? Have you lost yourself? Although we won’t go very far you, Are you keeping score? And all these memories they won’t last, ‘Cause I’m lost myself Instead they’ll drift into the past you, ‘Cause I’m keeping score. this means more. A haze drifts, at the edge of my vision Time slips, was this my decision? I can’t be left all alone, It seems strange It’s foreign, but somehow feels like it’s home Do you remember where you are? Have you lost yourself? Although we won’t go very far you, Are you keeping score? And all these memories they won’t last, ‘Cause I’m lost myself Instead they’ll drift into the past you, This is your last night, say all your goodbyes.

Portrayal 02:41
I’m a little taken aback. At the fact that you’re running away Oh it’s nothing personal, in fact, it’s friendly There’s just a lot that’s going on, and there’s a lot right now in play My life’s a poker chip at stake, so deal another hand and trust This is an act of portrayal. Cobbles breaking down Drowning just behind the dam Lake is filling up After all we’re turning into sand You wear that outfit well But the sizing is slightly wrong You wear it almost as A second skin that you’ve had on Portrayal, it fits you well, Portrayal. I’m lying on my back, flicking paint at the ceiling (Let it dry) Let it dry and watch it crack, find your meaning Cobbles breaking down Drowning just behind the dam Lake is filling up After all we’re turning into sand

Tan Walls 02:41
Feel the wind it’s blowing on your face Stark reminder of this exit out of autumn Straight ahead and you won’t miss People you chose to leave behind All these lies She takes her time, slowly To leave from your mind Spin to win escape these guilty thoughts Oh how they abound I’m climbing up the continental divide But Im crying “down down down” (“Pick me up I’m falling”) Throw me in the rushing water And let me disappear, It’s loud, no one will hear (I’m done) I’m done with this doubt of mine, (I’m done) I throw it away over every climb These tan walls take me there, me there Something new, To distract you, only So long as blowing leaves are shifting sands They’ll bury people you left under All these lies She takes her time, To slowly leave your mind and have These memories convert, File formats to a smile from a hurt (tan walls, carry) So I rest with the pain inside my tent On my breath it floats up to the sky (tan walls, bear me) No longer living with regret.I think I’ll like tomorrow’s ride At least until your song comes up Throw me in the rushing water And let me disappear, It’s loud, no one will hear (I’m done) I’m done with this doubt of mine, (I’m done) I throw it away over every climb These tan walls carry me (These tan walls carry me) These tan walls carry me I hide, behind tan walls

This sunset, you’ll never get it back today It’s gone now, spins towards the other way This water wheel, will turn as long as there is flow And ordinary maintenance oh don’t you know? Afford a little time, to yourself (take time for yourself) Ignoring anybody else (ignoring anybody else) The trickle, the trickle down my neck so warm These boredom showers never disappoint. Afford a little time, to yourself Ignoring everyone, everybody else But that still wont bring it back It’s never coming back It’s never coming back It’s never coming back It’s never coming back (‘cause you try so hard, chest up to the) It’s never coming back (counter drinking PBR, those happy hour prices) It’s never coming back (got you pretty far) It’s never coming back It’s never coming back No never.

Down this, street it’s never ending, it’s blazing passing by Oh it happens all the time, how you won’t evade my sight A little car it’s navy blue, it’s a curse though it’s crimson red A response programmed in my head, how I could have sworn you said “I will never ever leave, I could never cease to be, to exist” or was that me? Who’s to trust their memory? A door swings open wide Some say the riches are hidden Come on and take my hand The finest jewels lie within I see your car everywhere And no I won’t replace, even a single frame We’re running out of film it’s fine, i’ve kept you in my mind Where I sand down these edges, iron out the lines, Anything offensive or defined Yourself in a memory a moment passed (such a shame, steer right towards the rocks you’ll never change) “Would you want to go around again?” (run aground and stranded on the shore) I told you twice it was just this once. (such a shame, left adrift it’s said you’ll never stop) “Would you want to go around again?” A door swings open wide Some say the riches are hidden Come on and take my hand The finest jewels lie within (I see your car everywhere) A door swings open wide Some say the riches are hidden (I see your car everywhere) Come on and take my hand The finest jewels lie within I see your car everywhere Hope is Irrelevant
