The bottles end, it aint so bad
Still I didn’t really wanna ask of you
Pick apart the good intent,
You know all these habits end up using you
Lydia, you’re all I need
Paper hearts can never bleed
At least I know why
Oh
Always half a drink from being free
Oh
Sometimes it feels like you do it to yourself
Oh
And I hate that I still linger all night
Oh
Sometimes it feels like you do it to yourself
Slide another shot of gin, just to
Run away from everything you know
It ain’t sin if you forget the truth, but you’re
Finding virtue down the rabbit’s hole
Lydia, you’re all I need
Oh, paper hearts could never bleed
At least I know why
Oh
Always half a drink from being free
Oh
Sometimes it feels like you do it to yourself
Oh
And I hate that I still linger all night
Oh
Sometimes it feels like you do it to yourself
The riptide in my heart will slowly sink
But you cant said you can’t believe
The skin that I have shed
For you, all of it for said
These fickle words may blind all your excess
still all of the lies that you weave
Won’t keep you warm at night
Oh
Always half a drink from being free
Oh
Sometimes it feels like you do it to yourself
Oh
And I hate that I still linger all night
Oh
Sometimes it feels like you do it to yourself

In yours dreams I lied to you
Left my foot between the door too long
Cold hearts freeze in solitude
The only honest words I’ve ever known
Piece me from the side of the road
Open hands with eyes wide shut
These lies have answers you’ve always known
Don’t let the streetlights fool you
Oh, don’t let the streetlights fool you
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed
Let the needle pierce your skin
Your looks can’t save you from this debt
The mirror tints to save some face
And the night air just a steam of sweat
Piece me from the side of the road
Open hands with eyes wide shut
The lies have answers you’ve always known
Don’t let the streetlights fool you
No don’t let the streetlights fool you
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed
Guitar Solo
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed
I will only leave you cold in your bed

So at last we meet
The forbidden fruit
I knew you would taste sweet
But I guess couldn’t draw the line
When the clock ticks right
We’ll both pull away
But now it’s time for life
To play its part
I feel like flying away
I feel like flying away
I wish that I could give you a reason
I wish that I could ease your mind
Hidden by the covers
He’s calling out our names
I saw the light before the day
I felt the rhythm pulse and sway
You’re painted within my past
How could I wait for life to play its part?
I feel like flying away
I feel like flying away
We’ll place our dreams
Between our palms
And stretch it out
I feel like flying away
I should’ve told you what you meant to me
And stopped right away
Before my hands got in the way
And led ourselves astray
But tell me why it feels so right
Tell me why it feels so right
I can’t spin another lie this time
and I’ll keep my word, I’ll hold it for my life
I promise that I’ll meet you in Cape Town
I promise that I’ll meet you in Cape Town
I promise that I’ll meet you in Cape Town
I promise that I’ll meet you in Cape Town
I won’t hold my cards
So close to my chest

Paint it on
Surf the trends
Find another life to bend
Searching for yourself inside the image of somebody else
And you dig to find a deeper meaning still
Draw the line
Fingers crossed
An hour of fame at any cost
To fill the growing void inside the soul that’s only dimmer now
And you know you’ve taken it too far
When the mirror shows a distant face
The stars, you run towards
Take it, just take it from me
Take it, just take it from me
Your eyes!
Oh, the truth fucking tastes like you thought
Well I’m just about to let it go away
Oh, the gateway you crave’s caught your arm
And it’s not about to let you go away
The sea of eyes
They grow the same
Your shadow pays the price of fame
This life you’ve built to ease your pain enslaves you deep within it’s game
Yet you dig to find a deeper meaning still
Stuck in lights
That chant in vain
Feel the quicksand set to shame
With everything you’ve ever dreamed, fulfilment isn’t what it seems
And you know you’ve taken it too far
There’s no way out, you’re at the start!
The stars, you run towards
Take it, just take it from me
Take it, just take it from me
Your eyes!
O,h the truth fucking tastes like you thought
Well I’m just about to let it go and
Oh, the gateway you crave’s caught your arm
And it’s not about to let you go and

How To Be A Lion

The mirror fogs beneath its cracks
He can’t see the man he longed to be
The drinks may do the talk tonight
But the morning tongue aint what she needs
How come these vices feel like home?
He’s soaking in guilt when he atones
Oh I can’t live alone
Why does it feel like he’s going to waste?
Some things will never change
It’s better you knew him this way
His soul on fire with each little lie
But he can’t bring himself to leave her tonight
He is here to give up on it anyway
With open eyes he’ll bear the truth (closer my love)
Paper thin cuts to his skin
The mind & self come to a truce (a castle of lies my dear)
But neither will ever give in
Yet one of them knows their time is short
He’ll paint her a queen but play her a pawn
Oh I can’t live alone
Why does it feel like he’s going to waste?
Some things will never change
It’s better you knew him this way
His soul on fire with each little lie
But he can’t bring himself to love her tonight
He is here to give up on it anyway
He’ll touch like it’s only you
With fingers crossed before your eyes
You leave him in trust of your heart
His silver tongue will just bleed you dry
Why does it feel like he's going to waste?
Some things will never change
It’s better you knew me this way
