Cornerstones

Dead on my feet again
The city is one big lost and found
Cornerstones and record stores
With the volume down
Celebrations
Imitations of the life we wanted
We could have made it but I was too impulsive
Took an inventory of my life but nothing's adding up
Promised that I would be there for you but I kept fucking up
That's just what it feels like when you look at me that way
And I never said it would be okay
Cancel the master plan
We had a blowout five miles outside of town
Waiting by the freeway with the windows down
Desperation
Variations on a useless theme
Trying to make you live inside my dream
Took an inventory of my life but nothing's adding up
Promised that I would be there for you but I kept fucking up
That's just what it feels like when you look at me that way
But somehow I thought it could be okay
Let's go!
More than anything I wanted you to stay
And I know
And I know
Took an inventory of my life but nothing's adding up
Promised that I would be there for you but I kept fucking up
That's just what it feels like when you look at me that way
And that's why I tried to make it okay

Countdown

Death denied me fare to the horizon
So I asked again just let me see, I was trying
To never let a moment get by me, it's frustrating
And that's the end of you and me communicating
So let it go
The lies you said were true
So let it go
I'll never be the answer to you
The dream that outlasts today
The sun that breached the alleyway
Standing on the roof and counting down to zero
Faced across the two sides of madness
But that was always how you were, taking chances
You never let an insight get to you without a trial
And that's the tale of you and me in denial
So let it go
The lies you said were true
So let it go
I'll never have the answer for you
The dream that outlasts today
The sun that breached the alleyway
Standing on the roof and counting down to zero
The stars gleaming off the tower
Let's get back to the water
The stars gleaming off the tower
Let's get back to the water
The stars gleaming off the tower
Let's get back to the water
The stars in their final hour
Let's get back to the water

Battlegrounds

Left on a darkened road
And there's no looking back
Passing the battlegrounds
And the sting of the attack
You feel a prick of confusion
And you're losing self-control
You built a life on losing
So why not risk it all?
Let's go back to where it started
Back to the battlegrounds
The place, the time, the fall, the climb
A body crying out in anguish
The start, the end, the new begin
The feeling that you thought was banished
And oh, you'll never live again
Scenes from the Great Divide
Where the river changes flow
The armies are taking sides
Like you don't already know
You hear the rush of the water
And the echoes of the past
This is the final offer
And it's happening so fast
Let's go back to where it started
Back to the battlegrounds
The place, the time, the fall, the climb
A body crying out in anguish
The start, the end, the new begin
The feeling that you thought was banished
And ohhh, you'll never live again
The place, the time, the fall, the climb
A body crying out in anguish
The start, the end, the new begin
The feeling that we thought was banished
The truth, the lie, the grand design
The bodies crying out in anguish
And oh, you'll never live again

Just This Side of True

The jagged line of the way that you said let's get together
We used to be able to talk like people
But now forget it, we'll never get there
The second try and the painful sigh rings out forever
The loudest silence I've ever heard
Ripping up the evening
And throwing it away
Sundays in the armchair
Seasonal decay
I said I'd meet you there next summer
I said I'd meet you at the mall, but you never came
All the unanswered calls
And the long empty halls
I was dying to see you
Just this side of true
The little voice that whispers let's go back to bed
Or am I dreaming, if this is a dream then what's the meaning
Let's go out instead
But that's the biggest dream of all
I said I'd meet you there next summer
I said I'd meet you at the mall, but you never came
All the unanswered calls
And the long empty halls
I was dying to see you
Just this side of true
I've got time
I've got time
I've got time
Is what I told myself till I couldn't take the lie
I said I'd meet you there next summer
But summer never even came, not for anyone
All the unanswered calls
And the death of us all
I was trying to see you
Just this side of true

Royal Road, I carry a flame for you
In one hand, streaking toward the sky
1215 is dancing
1219 is standing by
Royal Road, I carry a flame for you
It's brighter than the sunrise
As dire as the dawn
Royal Road, I carry a flame for you
It's 6am, and I've been out all night
Fortune's all-consuming
Shadows under the spotlight
Royal Road, I carry a flame for you
This isn't a solution
This isn't a way through
Royal Road is endless
This is all that I could do
Charred and twisted metal
Greasy tongues of smoke
I told them what would happen
They thought it was a joke
The crimson glow
Of course I knew I'd never get away
Enjoy the show
And ooohhh
When it explodes
It started on a moonless night in May
Royal Road
And ohhhhh
