You always had a better way
To make the same mistake
The tables turn
Revolving around you
My vinyl heart
Skipped a beat and scratched right through
I didn't want to lose
So i choose to deny
Falling off the groove
So I flipped it to the other side
Just as the steady needle drops
And the waves distort my thoughts
You can bounce around my head
Or speak to me instead
You’re gonna make the same mistake
A melody
Reveals the moments i have missed
With frequency
Through the crackles and the hiss
I didn’t wanna choose
The memories i tried to hide
With nothing left to lose
So i flipped it it the other side
Just as the steady needle drops
And the waves distort my thoughts
You can bounce around my head
Or speak to me instead
You’re gonna make the same mistake
Don’t want to be the one to say it’s the end
But it is the only way i know you’ll understand
You always had a better way
To make the same mistake

The Desert

Can I come over
Can I just cry
I'm getting older
But none the wise
I'm turning over
My disguise
Can I come over
Can I just cry
I've been thinking of places
And my old flames
Fading faces
Forgetting names
Makes me wonder
About the time
Do you ever
Think of mine
Are we still burning
Or turning to dust
Ashes to ashes
Rain to rust
I'm in the desert
Of my life
Drinking the kool-aid
Just to stay alive
I'm turning violent
On the inside
Can I come over
Can I just die
Are we still burning
Or turning to dust?
Ashes to ashes
Rain to rust
Are we still burning
Or turning to dust?
Ashes to ashes
Rain to rust

Louder than the Guns

A shooting star on a winter’s night
Passing fast and burning bright
I still add your name into the flight
Like you never died
Reverberations in the armoury
I won’t forget the way you looked at me
Now you’re nothing but a memory
That i had to keep
In the silence of your sleep
We dream big dreams
Cause we need something to believe
I heard you singing louder than the guns
Strummed your guitar drowning out the drums
The war was over and nobody won
You became your song
In the silence of your sleep
We dream big dreams
Cause we need something to believe
In the silence of your sleep
In the silence of your sleep
In the silence of your sleep
We dream big dreams
Cause we need something to believe

When the hour is dark
And there’s fear in your heart
I won’t let it start
I don’t know how to talk…
And when you’ve been attacked
And it’s time to fight back
I’ll pick up my axe
I don’t know how to talk
But I know how to rock
When you’re all out of luck
And you feel like giving up
I’ll be the one to shut you up
I don’t know how to talk
I know how to rock
Every night and every day
I’ll be on your side
When you’ve got something to say
I will amplify
And if you’re cursed I’ll be the one to break the spell
And if it’s worse I’ll be the one to raise some hell
Where are we going to if we are not going to love?
I don’t know how to talk
But i could be your rock

End of the Line

Framed in a photo forever
I thought that you were the one
Thought we'd always be together
Now I am home all alone
While you are rockin' and rollin'
I'm mockin' and trollin'
I'm gonna be the last one laughing at the end of the line
While you are huggin' and kissin'
I'm buggin' and dissin'
I'm gonna be the last one laughing at the end of the line
Though I had died and gone to heaven
Now I know I only died
I should've known when I met him
Now all I wanna do is cry
While you are rockin' and rollin'
I'm mockin' and trollin'
I'm gonna be the last one laughing at the end of the line
While you are huggin' and kissin'
I'm buggin' and dissin'
I'm gonna be the last one laughing at the end of the line
In the morning you're my sunrise
I fall asleep in your eyes
You leave a trail like a comet
Elevator in the crater I'm coming back and making a comment
While you are rockin' and rollin'
I'm mockin' and trollin'
I'm gonna be the last one laughing at the end of the line
While you are huggin' and kissin'
I'm buggin' and dissin'
I'm gonna be the last one laughing at the end of the line
Ain't that right?
While you are rockin' and rollin'
I'm mockin' and trollin'
I'm gonna be the last one laughing at the end of the line
While you are huggin' and kissin'
I'm buggin' and dissin'
I'm gonna be the last one laughing at the end of the line
