The Man 05:05
Your face is so close I can't fathom you And why would I want to A mystery that sells itself Piece by piece I unravel you Or well at least I try to Your heart is in my chest and still you make so little sense Yeah its true that I was young enough to go Well it was true that I was old enough to know That people may bend but they may only bend so far Darling I know that I fell short but its a start If I drown let me be Save yourself but not for me Salt and cracks shall be my home Facing west fill your chest Hold your own hand now mine's at rest And you say this one is serious This could be serious True that I was young enough to go Well it was true that I was old enough to know That people may bend but they may only bend so far Darling I know that I fell short but its a start Cause when I hear those words drifting out of your mouth I forget what I was so bitter about I may come undone but it's helping me grow Help me be the man my old man won't know Cause when I hear those words drifting out of your mouth I forget what I was so bitter about I may come undone but it's helping me grow Help me be the man Help me be the man Help me be the man my old man won't know Help me be the man Help me be the man, the man, the man Help me be the man my old man The man my old man won't know

Photographs 04:39
Took a breath and pushed away Time moves slowly when I fall And I fall Deeper than my love for you With a step I pushed away Time moves slowly when I'm gone And I'm gone Far more often than I'd care to admit Posing in the photographs Oh those photographs so clear yet still uncertain Oh the lines yet drawn were swept under the curtain And if all it takes is one mistake to open Maybe lines yet drawn were better off unspoken Oh when I leave I'm gone Though I believe I'm wrong When I leave I'm gone Though I believe I'm wrong Far more often than I'd care to admit Posing in the photographs again Posing in the photographs Oh those photographs so clear yet still uncertain Oh the lines yet drawn were better off unspoken And if all it takes is one mistake to open Maybe lines yet drawn were better off unspoken

Oh those people on the other side can't decide What the stars hold for you and I Oh those people on the other side can't decide What the stars hold for you and I What's in a face What's in a name What's in a love that was destined to failed Get ready to jump Get ready to bail Cause the way things are going we're bound to derail But it's not your fault And it isn't me This won't be easy But it has to be Oh no don't stay here tonight I've got a feeling And it's mighty strong That these dirty dealings Can do nothing but harm In the long run Oh those people on the other side can't decide What the stars hold for you and I Oh those people on the other side can't decide What the stars hold for you and I
