I wake in the morning to a sweet perfume
That cascades our room
Did you know that the very thought of flying
Involves you and her too
I fly away to the way you say "I love you"
To the way you say "I love the way you fly away"
And when I reach the sky
I'll stay a day or two
To tower over the
Obstacles we go through
Honey, I know you don't understand
All the things I do
Just know I'm so in love with you
Is it true what they say
That you sacrificed and gave your own
I cannot relate because I would not do the same
The shame would overwhelm followed with the pain
Of losing you
I fly away to the way you say "I love you"
To the way you say "I love the way you fly away"
And when I reach the sky
I'll stay a day or two
To tower over the
Obstacles we go through
Honey, I know you don't understand
All the things I do
Just know I'm so in love with you
Yes I fly away

I stood by and watched the day say "reminisce, sit back, whats on your mind?"
good bye though, its nice to see you on your way to things greater than I
so run across my mind like ghostly figures dancing on the spot in which they were made that way
its all a game that i was forced to play
should i have quit the team and moved down south
where the trees hang low above my broken heart
where the taste of your lips evaporate for someone else
where the memories of you set sail across the southern breeze
where i can finally be free
mischief dwells on the south east corner of my town
where i laid to rest everyone that i knew, for you
but what does really mattter? nothing at all
did you find your way out, as i was forced to move down south
where the trees hang low above my broken heart
where the taste of your lips evaporate for someone else
where the memories of you set sail across the southern breeze
where i can finally be free
cause life is a sort of "catching up" for me
but doesnt that go for all of us who are trying to live out our fantasies
and most people say they hate guys like me
but that doesnt mean i cant try to better myself or my so called reality

These city lights take me home
To everyone I've been missing for
So long, hold up.
Who's that in my front window?
It was a gathering of family and friends
So why were you there?
You're neither of the sort
Two years on the road
No phone calls. No letters.
But now you're in his arms
So I guess it never mattered
These city lights take me home
To everyone I've been missing for
So long, hold up.
Who's that in my front window?
Your eyes will fade
Along with all the stupid plans you made to
Kill my image. To keep me guessing
You are the poison constricting through my veins
Until there's nothing left of me
To Carry on, and I carry on.
The months go by
I haven't seen you in a while
And it may seem that I'm doing well
But you and I both know that aint true
I'm missing you
And all the foolish things you do
To get inside my head
Please get inside my heart
These city lights take me home
To everyone I've been missing for
So long, hold up.
Who's that in my front window?
You opened the door
And you glowed like an angel
Too bad,
I was 30 seconds away
From being over you
Until you said
"Do you still love me?"
And as I replied "yes"
He walked down the stairs
And took you Off to sleep
Goodbye, ya goodbye.

I've always been a man
Who wears his heart on his sleeve
You wear yours on your wrists
And it's a shame that you've turned to this
After all that we've discussed
About self afflicting mistrust
What makes you think
That every slice you make
Doesn't scar me deeper
And break my heart?
And I'm bleeding out
You've found the door
That stops any progress we've begun
I think I'm done
Ya I'm gonna run
I can't imagine what I've said
To make you play god
And paint your limbs red
Would it be better if I just pretend
Nothing is wrong?
I'm sorry I'm not that strong
What makes you think
That every slice you make
Doesn't scar me deeper
And break my heart?
And I'm bleeding out
You've found the door
That stops any progress we've begun
I think I'm done
Ya I'm gonna run
What makes you think
That every slice you make
Doesn't scar me deeper
You've found the door
That stops any progress we have made

they're hasty
and fast asleep
i see it fit to believe what my eyes have seen
i was like them with my heart deceived
walking in my sleep
residing in my dreams until you came for me
i was lost but then i found
my solid ground i am bound by your blood
waiting to see you move an inch
towards the sky
to what is right
i was like them with my heart deceived
walking in my sleep
residing in my dreams
until i screamed
i was lost
but then i found
my solid ground
i am bound by your blod

Day one
I feel accomplished and adored
By day two I'm back on my knees again
It's just that I've seen the sheets on this bed
For too long now
I think too much when I'm alone
Darling, don't you ever think that I am changing
If not for the best.
Darling, don't you ever think that my loves straying
If not for your own good.
Day three rolls around
I jump out my window
Just for the thrill
I hit the ground with such force
That it's chilling
It's scary to think that I laughed
The whole way down
Darling, don't you ever think that I am crazy
Just because these pills
Darling, don't you ever think that I am straying
If not for your own good
It was valentine's day
That would take you away
I'm so sorry that I didn't say "goodbye"
Or that I love you more than words could describe
I'm so sorry
And now
A year is a day to me
And my souls at sea
God, you give and take away
The plans we've made

Dear girl,
What are you looking for?
Did you find it?
Deep inside your heart?
We could have changed it
Changed it together
Well I guess now
I'll just miss you forever
Because I don't know what to do
I'm just so incomplete without you
And if to say "I love you"
Would end everything then
End everything.
Dear princess,
Did you find the secrets?
That you hid from this world?
And me?
If you'd open your eyes
Then you'd see
I could then be the man
That you need me to be
Ya that's
Because I don't know what to do
I'm just so incomplete without you
And if to say "I love you"
Would end everything then
End everything.
You are my all
And I'm your man
It's amazing to see
How you love me
For who I truly am

They think it's okay to tell you what you should believe
But between you and me, you're everything they wish they could be
Just remember a scenes a scene
Just like the movie screens
It changes daily
But not you or me
No judgmental discretion
Like the critics sitting behind the crowd
Poor girls
You must be lost
The runways over there
I think you've come to the wrong show
As I recall it used to be About the music
And the passion
Not your fashion
Not your finesse
Or anything to do with you at all
When did "show" mean show them how much you are like everyone else?

Inhaling a bottle of gin
Next to his very best friend
In the desert
Little did he know
that his very best friend
Wasn't there all along
He was all alone
And we sat and watched
Him wander the desert for months
When we could have stopped it
At anytime
What a crime
I spent the last two years
Trying to find him
Trying to figure it out
Little did I know
that he was already home
and I was there all alone
In the desert
And he sat and watched me wander the desert for months
When he could have stopped it at anytime
And ya he's doing just fine
When will these back to back visits get old?
When will your story unfold?
When will these back to back visits to jail get old?

Star struck nights

This is all I've ever known
Misleading words and the absence of love
But these dreams help me to achieve victory
When all else seems to fail
Star struck nights and empty faces
This is not my home
Call me out, breath your air
While I suffocate on every word you say
Like 'please just let me go"
This is not what I wished for
Nor hoped in a million years
To break your heart
And does life keep on moving on
Cause I don't feel progresses comfort
Let alone anything
Star struck nights and empty faces
This is not my home
Call me out, breath your air
While I suffocate on every word you say
Every word you say to me
Is bringing me down away
From everyone I love
And all their empty faces
Are lacking color
And theyre calling out to me
"It's everything I hate all wrapped into one
Mischievous little girl"

the longest winter Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania
the longest winter has always been about honest, open, and personal songs. all written as a way to vent when alone, however once I (gabe) started playing shows consistantly I asked anthony to join on guitar and more recently paul on drums and Alex Rubenstein on bass. both amazing guys and a perfect fit for what we hope to accomplish. ... more
