M Angels Don't Cry
The lighthouse went dark, after you went away. The sea grew twice as lonely, with no beacon in the bay. But if you listen to the silence, where your voice once used to stay, you’ll hear me tapping SOS, across the night thats turning gray. And if your heart remembers maps you never meant to cast away, you might still find me drifting floating on the edge of break of day.

SOS
you smell of ash and cheap perfume do you wish you had my attention? funny how i'm finally doing better then you show up like a homewrecker cause I can see the way you look and how you try to steal attention don't you know? i'm over you i swear i'm over you you only show up when you're lonely when i'm finally feeling alright funny how you want me closer when i'm walking out of your life not your Romeo but you cried wolf for Juliette don't you know? i'm over you i swear i'm over you you had your chance and let it slip i don't need your permission i see myself a little clearer now i'm out of your definition don't you know? i'm over you i swear i'm over you i'm over you

Over You
yeah we're drunk, this is kind of risky. wouldn't have thought of this, if we weren't tipsy. now we're at the bottom, of this Tennessee whisky. bet you're wondering, what if you kissed me?

kiss me
i laid down on the railroad tracks, hoping for God to finish me. as the rain came pouring, the thunder came rolling, i wished the sun was over me. but her warmth didn't come, her cold breath came instead. the snow settled all over me. finally i could hear the engine, i close my eyes. oh Lord is it over for me? but the end never came - has He spared me? i raised my head over the railroad tracks, i see the demolition team. turns out the train don't come through, here no more. poor, poor, pitiful me.

Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
some people like setting fires, but i dont want to change her. we're just burning bright. but i'm no forest ranger. we'll outlive the spotlight, now don't shy and be a stranger. i'm no optimist, but i fell in love with a girl called danger.

One-Eyed Buck
Before you start a war. you better know the cause, you're willing to die for. would you put your heart, on the trigger? or would you die, by the hands of a sinner?

Afterglow
so i moved to los angeles to chase the girl of my dreams. how could i have known she was the devil staring right back at me. on the way over there i thought i saw her wings. clipping her feathers whilst i was hunting a ring. should have known then that girl on my porch. was always going to be trouble when she walked through that door. mama's always told me, wear my heart on my sleeve. don't get yourself killed, with what you're trying to achieve. so i left that night, through that hole in the wall. maybe those things they call angels don't exist at all?
