Goodbye Penny

VERSE 1:
Goodbye Penny
Your separate parts in separate places
Goodbye Penny
Reflections of you in saddened faces
CHORUS:
You are only as real as you make others feel
You were so real, weren't you
You were so real, weren't you
VERSE 2:
Goodbye Penny
Your honest soul can soar forever
Goodbye Penny
We saw too late, but learnt that lesson
BRIDGE 1:
This cannot be the end of this
Surely someone can rebuild it
This cannot be the end of you
There must be something that we can do
BRIDGE 2:
She was so real
She was so real
No matter what they say or what they do/think
She was so real (to you)
BRIDGE 3:
And every time I think of you
Reminds me what we've got to do
And every day I find a way
To put the pieces back again
So every time I think of you
I'm the thread that I will use
To stitch you back together new
Yeah that is what we're gonna do
VERSE 4:
Goodbye Penny
It's not so long, but not long enough
Goodbye, Penny
I called you friend, and I sure meant it

VERSE 1:
Secrets put brick walls between friends
We all know, we all know how that ends
CHORUS:
So yeah I'm kinda angry
These thoughts that are occurring to me
About the way you always disappear
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
I thought we had agreed that
When things were bad you'd know that we were here
VERSE 2:
Everything you ever fought for, believed in
Took away everything from me and it weakened
I'd give my other arm to have both my arms back
(I'd give my other arm to have both my arms back)
A personal attack
BRIDGE:
Maybe none of this ever got through
Maybe none of us ever met you
Maybe none of this ever hit home
Loss of limb and all alone
Loss of limb and all alone
So much, so long to this bumble bee

Dry Those Silver Eyes
04:52
|
|||
VERSE1:
How can I save the world
If I can’t even save you
I could try and give my all
But where would that leave you?
I was too late, a second time
And now you’re gone
These silver eyes and simple soul
But my timing sucks, this time
CHORUS:
Dry my eyes, take my time
Tell me how long is this gonna take?
Dry my eyes, force this smile
Build it up before we start to break
VERSE 2:
The good old days, the golden days
When we all met, the first time
We shook the earth, and proved our worth
With so much style, except Jaune
Those days are dead, two of my friends
Are gone as well
My insides hurt, I feel like dirt
So empty and without you
Before we break...
CHORUS 2:
Dry those eyes, force this smile
Build it up before we start to break
Dry my eyes, take your time
Tell me how long is this gonna take?

Family, Friend Or Foe

INTRO:
Take me away
From these wayward saints
INTRO 2:
Things I believed in
Crumbling, crashing all around me
Like I never knew a thing at all
You are now betrayal
You have been betrayal
And you sold me out,
Cut off every hand that held my trust
VERSE 1:
I just can't stop
This train wreck of secrets
And all my friends
They don't know
What I really am, or who I was (or who I've been)
PRE CHORUS 1:
I'll wear this bow and I'll keep all my secrets
Deceiving my friends with these lies of infrequence but
I'll hide my ears cause the world is a bastard
And man hasn't changed but each day is a brand new chance
CHORUS:
Family, friends or foes
Tell me who knows
Tell me who ever really knows who you are
COUNTER CHORUS:
I've worn my heart on my sleeve
For the last time (for the last time)
For the last time
VERSE 2:
Nothing can stop
This train wreck of secrets
And all my friends
No they won't believe it
So I'll run away
And hide it away
PRE CHORUS 2:
I'll wear this bow to displace my allegiance
I'd love to blend in cause it's my biggest weakness
I'll hide my heart cause my past betrays feelings
And you've wiggled into my deepest of secrets, kid.

VERSE 1:
It's amazing that when you need someone the most they disappear.
You disappeared.
CHORUS:
Is this what friends are for?
We're beaten down but we're coming back for more
And I wish I could say something to your face
It feels like every word I used was a waste
A waste of time
VERSE 2:
It's amazing that when we think we're making progress
You're slipping out in the dark of night
(I'm thinking back to what you promised)
BRIDGE:
Trust is like a rope
We're not going to cope
If honestly takes a dive
We are high and dry
Every time you lie
At least I got out alive
