He took the train...the orange line to Greenville.
He was let down...a hipster town with no thrill.
Tiny toy soldiers each with broken parts.
The sun beat down piercing through their hearts.
I know where you go when you're alone to be yourself.
Is it the pace that you belong? So hard to tell
The freezing rain...the somber sky now showing...
the depth of pain. His hollow heart unknowing.
The record spins playing Long, Long, Long.
A subtle win justified by song.
I know where you go when you're alone to be yourself.
Is it the pace that you belong? So hard to tell

Scapegoat

Keeping both feet on the ground is like a nightmare full of clowns.
It leaves you in a state of fear.
When your footprints in the sand always follow me around
you may not like what keeps you near.
And they say that it's you as if they had no right to choose.
Like you took their own free will before you stuck them with the bill.
I'm not your scapegoat sent from Hell. You make decisions for yourself.
Handle you cause I refuse to play your game.
A secret life is what you made. It seems there's not so much to say
when the dark clouds fill your skies.
Keeping track of what was said when no one put a gun to your head.
You were warned and now you're torn between yourself and what's inside.
And they say I was the one as if I'm Lucifer's lost son.
I'm not the blame for your own harm. Just the marks on my own arms
and if you say that you were thrown down that long, dark road you're on
You're all alone. Just know you did it to yourself.

Tightrope

This black bulb light, a crooked sight showing
everything you thought would turn out right.
A new-found place, a fucking case in which you
made up for yourself to keep your place.
Get your head out of the clouds. You one-man
crowd. You end up screaming it out loud.
I'm walking this tightrope. It's a long way down
if I fall. Though I'm not quite sure that I care if
I lose it all.
I'm running in circles chasing dreams that were long
gone. Whether I come back down is still too close to call.
A sucker-punch straight to your heart; defenses
down and you're not sure just where to start.
Can you relate to the part of the story that just rips
you through your heart?
Whiskey wants what you've got. Stop pretending
that you're someone that you're not.
A steady cut, a broken chin. It's not where
you've been but where you arrive.
Sure-fire love, a life of sin is where you begin
the perfect crime.
I'm walking this tightrope. It's a long way down
if I fall. Though I'm not quite sure that I care if
I lose it all.
I'm running in circles chasing dreams that were long
gone. Whether I come back down is still too close to call.

Last Call

It's gonna take a long, long time before I find my way
of being with the wrong, wrong kind. They kill you where you lay.
They see. They know whenever you come around.
It's on gonna take some strong, strong lines to keep this pain away.
Last Call you'll find...you'll see.
You saw through it all in spite of me.
Forever may come around by the time you know what you're in for.
But heaven couldn't be more proud of who you are.
It's gonna take a long, long time before I find my way.
It's gonna take the strong, strong kind to help me through each day.
To see...to know whenever they come around.
It's gonna take this song behind a promise that you'll stay.
Last Call you'll find...you'll see.
You saw through it all in spite of me.
