Handsome Devil NEW
Handsome Devil You're a handsome devil, and you make me wanna come ...
From the Ditch
From the Ditch She blends in well and no one knows her secret face but me.
Back Then
And now you're here. Though the face you wore was brave, the empty war you tried to wage fell through.
Chameleon
Tell me that you like me. Aftershave and a brand new do; tell me that I'm handsome.
Jack
Jack is a lonely boy. Jack thinks to himself at night, when the darkness is all there is: One day soon, I will show you all.
Wish I Was There
Another scream exits her eyes. Another scream exits her eyes. And I wish I was there.
When the Ravens Took Flight
That's how the walking dead took my daddy from me. He knew them name, and God, I'm sure was laughing. And that's how the walking dead took my daddy from me.
Freaks
Time to put your old toys away. Come to see your dad, son, I've got some new games to play. Look at what I brought you; put your old toys away.
Make It Shine
I'm gonna wind it and make it shine. This clockwork heart embedded in me, though run down and rusted and missing its key, I'm gonna wind it and make it shine.
You Won't Come
Wait until she has walls of her own. You won't come inside. Wait until she has walls of her own. You won't come inside.
Glitter
The world of her dreams is gold and green. The world of her dreams is gold and green, and the clouds rain glitter.
Fairytale
I wanted to be the knight on the horse. No one believes in heroes anymore, when heroes are easily killed.
Live Forever
Don't fear the gathering storm. Keep your fingers crossed and a marble in your mouth, and live forever.
Honeysuckle Wine
What I miss is being six. Yesterday I had to choose, fix the car or pay the rent.
Speak No Smoke
You better fly, little fire. Steal down into a nest of leaves.
