lyrics

1. Down The Lost Highway
When the wave comes in
I'll try to wait it out
But you'll dive in
and get tossed about.
I hold out my hand but you're already gone.
How can this be true?
When I'm not around
It doesn't get to you
it doesn't get you down.
you're the one I need but you don't need me
You're driving down on the lost highway,
won't come back cuz it only goes one way
If you kill yourself please don't kill me.
Cuz i tied myself to you
with a rope that was woven out of truth.
Them threads are tearing on the street.
I'm in my bed
you're out with your friends
keep playin dead, boy,
one day you'll end
please love me or set me free.
Cuz i've been caged
by the things you say.
Your words make sense
but you look like death
and you'll touch me real cold but you can't feel
youre drivin down on the lost highway
won't come back cuz it only goes one way
if you kill yourself please don't kill me
cuz i tied myself to you
with a rope that was woven out of truth
them threads are tearing on the street

3. Mary (Why Do You Stay?)
Why do you stay?
Mary, Mary, Mary why do you stay?
I don't know why you stay.
Mary, Mary, Mary why don't you say?

Do you stay for the weekend?
Do you stay for the reasons that I do?
Do you stay because you're weak and
Do you stay because you think that I love you?

Why do you stay?
Mary, Mary, Mary why do you stay?
I don't know why you stay.
Mary, Mary, Mary why don't you say?

Do you stay for my fountain?
Do you stay for the youth I promise you?
Or do you stay for my mouth and
Do you stay for the things I promise you?

Why do you stay?
Mary, Mary, Mary why do you stay?
You're beautiful, why do you stay?
Why do you stay and waste the day?

Do you stay for my mouth and
Do you stay for the things I promise you?
Do you stay for my fountain?
Do you stay for the youth I promise you?

4. Shooting Gallery

Come down with me to the shooting gallery,
keep me company. Take a shot.
Might hit the spot.
When the sun gets low I'll trail its golden glow.
I'll take things kinda slow. Sink it in. Be believin' nothings wrong.

Do what you want but don't do it to me
Cause I don't wanna be
strung out on a doubt
like you are.

I am only trying to fill the void up with a game.
Something that I can play when your body isn't there with me to lay.
When your body isn't there for me to love.
And I'll go even if you never come.
You never come.
Is that a fact? Your train has one too many tracks.
Even if your veins are fat an addiction is never gonna love you back.

Come down with me to the shooting gallery.
Keep me company. Sink it in. Be believin' nothings wrong.

5. Magnets

A magnet's just a piece of metal
without its opposite.
Like polar fields, we're not that much
when we're out of it.
But bring us close and we collide
and will not come apart.
That's how it is when you live with a magnetic heart.

And I'll take that Orange Line back to who is mine.

My heart's just a piece of muscle
without its companion.
It barely beats within my bones
and has no love to send.
But when my heart gets close to yours
it beats out of my chest
To get to yours with magnetic force
and I'm stuck on you, my friend.

And I'll take that Orange Line back to who is mine.

6. High Goodbye

It was Sunday night.
I wanted to feel alright.
Bought a bag for two,
half for me, half for you.
You said, 'Thank you."
I felt fate used you to do
what I could not, but wanted to.

I pushed off, left the bay
of the long day-to-day.
A rush of blood and a cough,
I fell back as my eyes crossed.
I want nothing.
I guess that's something, isn't it?
All's I know is what it isn't.
I feel like a liar,
veins on fire, boiling blood:
the only proof of what I've done.
And I am gonna die, only truth.
I'm gonna die in my youth.
I'm gonna die high. Goodbye.

It's getting hard to breathe,
there's some puke on my sleeve.
My vision's fading fast.
I think that I'll let it pass.
I don't need it, but I treat it as if I do.
I don't feel renewed, but that's fucking old news.
And I am gonna die, only truth.
I'm gonna die in my youth.
I'm gonna die high. Goodbye.
