Memory Maker 05:52
we are young but not for long we live a day a day is lost a burden buried in the dust it's just as well it fell away a little late a little less I can't escape the black is fading like a memory I will dig a grave and bury this mistake I make a promise then I break it why was I left why was I left why was I left

there's nobody like you there's nobody with your smile there's nobody like you there's nobody with your smile I was the fool who loved you I was the fool who cared I was the fool who loved you I was the fool who cared lost and out of my mind held in place by aged and frozen feelings out of there time things disintegrated slowly I was the fool who loved you I was the fool who cared I was the fool who loved you I was the fool who cared

Always 02:54
we became the ghosts of eachother the son and daughter of misfortune and turning in my sleep the best of you I keep buried in the dim and dying light of when love was young and we were wide-eyed true breathing I remember you beside me in bed at night whispering the words to Atlantic City your arms around my neck hand inside my hand kids under the covers alone and we were wide-eyed true breathing for you my heart is torn always blue blood pouring out of my veins love was young and wide-eyed now it sleeps we became the ghosts of eachother the son and daughter of misfortune and turning in my sleep the best of you I keep buried in the dim and dying light of when love was young and we were wide-eyed true breathing for you my heart is torn always blue blood pouring out of my veins for us I'll carve light into dark smother out the tiniest spark love was young and wide-eyed true and breathing now its heart is hardly beating for you for us always blue blood pouring out of my veins I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you

Marie you kept my secret safe behind the wall of your eyes you have the deepest of me hidden so cleverly disguised you do you remember meeting halfway walking miles in the snow I miss the sight of you appearing more than you will ever know you when it's blue and when it's black when the winter air reacts to the ancient factory fumes is when I will think of you you
5.
what of a life what of a life's promise they've never been they've never been honest I'll never be I'll never be anything I'll never be I'll never be any one breath away I will be here with you this is true she wrote a name across his heart every letter a lie they tore a promise apart we'll never be we'll never be anything we'll never be we'll never be any one breath away I will be here with you this is true

me and my neighbor both have knives under our pillows me in a fog I see his shadow in my window why is he moving why is he moving so slowly why is he moving why is he moving so slowly screaming in silence but never knowing if he heard me I'm left believing he was the widower of "wait here" maybe he couldn't he couldn't see me through the light of my television my figure hidden in the glow of maybe this time I will be myself when we were strangers he hovered in forgotten corners waiting for light to shift and fall on lovers at the altar now I don't even now I don't even think to wonder was it the mother's sin that made a murderer of her son me and my neighbor both have knives under our pillows me in the dark I strike a match and wait for answers they never tell you they never tell you that the truth is there's no forever only a lie for you to wait on maybe this time I will be myself
7.
what are we but what we have been made to be born out of blind chance there is no choice for me third eye sits one thin book of poems away guide my hand steady pull the trigger and pray
8.
how long can you how long can you stay the end of us just hours away the length of you drawn down from your hair the darkness and the depth of your stare how long for us how long time is a bitter judge how long for us from the window in my bedroom under a pale and lonely mood every thread of this city view a woven image of me and you how long for us how long time is a bitter judge how long for us

Only 04:49
you and I had meaning all but lost and losing I believe it crossed out and washed in black things that I can't take back seeing you was all I ever thought about when you were away hand over heart I swear looked for you everywhere I'll tell you what these are promises in the dark I'm lost somewhere in last summer I'd do it all over hold my wounded heart over the fire tell you I'm not alright things that I kept inside I remember feeling you beside me on the floor breathing hands laid and held on hearts once whole but now in parts I'll tell you what these are promises in the dark I'm lost somewhere in last summer
10.
the days the days the days the days became a blur with you remains remains remains a paper trail of I love you's I'm sorry's not enough I'm sorry's all that I can say regrets regrets regrets the bridge is burned and washed away the days the days the days the days became a blur with you mistakes mistakes mistakes unburdened hours are far and few believe believe believe believe that I will never be the same the same the same the things you said have stayed with me
