I run fast but I fall short of breath as I escape this lifeless town and pray to God that the devil decides to get back to me. I sold my soul for a bit of time in front of you on your TV, hoping you knew what you meant to me. (Chorus) Grey Skies, the trees on fire, (the colors of my burning pyre) Spread my ashes in the streams of Blue skied North Carolina, bet my life I'm gonna die here Living on discarded dreams From the shores, to the mountain tops I run to the evergreens, following the trail of burning leafs Now I'm stuck here working these dead end jobs just to make sure my ends meet while i play my heart out all for free in the street (chorus) So I sit in my room and I write these songs to try and make you proud of me. Wait for your glass house to start shattering. Missing you cause nothing seems to fill this void inside of me quite like when you said you loved me. (chorus)

Deep Breaths 02:32
Last chance to escape this town: It's a 530 train that southward bound. Grab my bags and head for the tracks, it's no second chances, no turning back. All I need is some space to breath and a little bit of time to think of things. Call it cold but I cannot stay, and I still hope to see you again one day. Pack my pipe with that tobacco Mexicano Take a real deep breath and scale the depths of my own hollow. Questioning my sanity I'm just tryna get a grip on reality. Hope my talents can see me to brighter days, and if not I'm goin out like Kurt Cobain. Jackson Pollock all over the walls, and I'll never mind the bollocks. Goin out with Applause.

It's a familiar paradigm: racing colors, slowing time Thoughts of morphing cosmic twine Are creeping through this head of mine (chorus) Take a walk, go outside See what maybe we can find Chills go up my crooked spine but still the peak is quite a climb. Perceptions doors are open wide Consciousness starts to slide Half a day my brain is fried Staring at the ceiling tiles (chorus)
