Circus Arrive

I find it hard to find the words that I could say
I couldn't ask for this to happen any other way
Truth be told, I was used to being on my own
But you've brought out the best in me
You've helped me learn to grow
I'm ever grateful for the patience that you show
You had me at Hello
(Look into your eyes, a light so bright)
(A blinding future you can't fight)
And I knew that I could never let you go
(Everybody talks, we'll walk it off)
(It won't stop me from how I feel)
I caught you by surprise
(The circus has arrived, it's right on time)
(So old and wise, you've lost your mind)
Now you have me caught wrapped around your finger
(You've got me off guard, my false alarm)
(I answer with a song of love)
(The circus has arrived and it's right on time)
Each day is better than the last
Like kindred spirits. You've become my better half
I never pictured having this
I never thought that I'd find love on the night shift at a Holiday Station
[(I've never felt such joy)]
You had me at Hello
(Look into your eyes, a light so bright)
(A blinding future you can't fight)
And I knew that I could never let you go
(Everybody talks, we'll walk it off)
(It won't stop me from how I feel)
I caught you by surprise
(The circus has arrived, it's right on time)
(So old and wise, you've lost your mind)
Now you have me caught wrapped around your finger
(The circus has arrived and it's right on time)
(So old and wise, you've lost your mind)

Nix's Song

Simple kitty on the bed
Not a worry in your little head
We're glad to make a home for you
Keep you off the streets, we do
Sickly cat, I love you
Fluffy kitty, how do you feel?
Coughing, wheezing, we know the deal
We'll do our best to care for you
Spoil you rotten, we do
Little Nix
Sickly kitty, how do you feel?

Truth in What I Say
02:44

I was the one that haunts your memories
I was the one that always left
Now I'm the one without the strength to leave my bed
You can't see me
Always feel me
Never leave you
Until the medication's kicking in
I was the one that all the mothers wanted to wed unto their daughters
I was the one with the tired eyes that captured their attention
I was the one that made mistakes
Floating out into the space
I was the broken promise of a person that I could have been
There's nothing stimulating
And you're always complaining
But it don't hurt no more
You'd kill just to feel anything
Now I follow you
With everything you do
And you'll self deprecate
To find some truth in what I say
I am the guilt that haunts your future
I am the constant source of dread
I am the doubt that always lingers
Constantly inside your head

Hiding in the Car
02:44

I never wanted to know
I've done so well stuck in the dark
I'd be happy to go
I won't be gone for long
I swear I'll be right back
All the pages are bare
I guess one day it all dries up
For all the years I've spilled my guts
An empty page is all that's left
I guess it's fair
I'm hiding in the car
So I can write my songs
That no one wants to sing along to anymore
No I never wanted to know
I thought by now I would have grown
And gotten over all this trauma from my childhood
I can't ignore it anymore
And it's getting old
I have some trouble letting go
Call it anxiety, depression
Poor excuses for my mistakes from younger days
I'm still hiding in the car
And writing all these songs
That no one ever sings along to, it's so hard
(Suffocating in this car)
So I can write these stupid songs
That you won't ever sing along to
I just want to do my best to make you proud

Haunted Painting
04:13
|

It's hard to stay awake
I've been walking with a heavy head for several days
The empty words that I had said
There's no sleep better than a night spent in a hotel bed
I feel like a stranger in my own home
There's nowhere that I can go
I live with the ghosts whose spirits and souls
Stray far from the other side
Haunted painting in the closet upstairs
Drains the atmosphere and fills me with despair
And I know how it goes
Thrift shop purchases that should be left alone
That should be left alone
I feel like a stranger in my own home
There's nowhere that I can go
I live with the ghosts
Those spirits and souls
I feel like a stranger in my own home
There's nowhere that I can go
The portrait beside the letter she signed
And it said, "I long to gaze at your dazzling porcelain eyes."
(I feel like a stranger in my own home)

Everyone Leaves
04:13
|

Still feeling kind of low
I got used to this feeling
But I'll never let it show
I got used to being lonely
The only comfort I had
Was the growing isolation
From inside of my own head
I miss feeling like I'm human
I'm shutting off all my emotions
To stop the trembling in my voice
It might seem cold, it might seem callous
Truth be told, it's hard to care
A sad reminder that this life we live
Is usually unfair
(They'll all leave you)
I'm trying to hold on
To any friends that I have left
Before too long they'll all be gone
I'm bracing for the end
The only constant has been change
The only thing that I've learned
is that Everyone Leaves
(They'll all leave you)
Trying to stay positive
With everything that's going on
But I can't do this on my own
No, I'm no god damn Superman
So I'll be careful and silent
Comparably harmless
to those who are selfish and brash
I miss my friends I miss my bands
I miss the confidence I had
When I was younger, so much younger
What a future I had planned
I was the last to leave the hell of my hometown
And I don't blame my friends for leaving
But I could really use them now
(They'll all leave you)
I'm trying to hold on
To any friends that I have left
Before too long, they'll all be gone
I'm bracing for the end
The only constant has been change
The only thing that I've learned
Bracing for the end
The only constant has been change
The only thing that I've learned
is that Everyone Leaves
