The Closer I Get

The closer I get
The further you go
Calm up top
But what's below
The closer I get
The further you go
The more you explain
The less I know
And it's long
In a twilight sleep
With a head full of smoke
When the chemical leaves
I'll be on my own
So I carry the weight
But don't let it show
The more I complain
The more you let go
I'm a downbound train
And I have you in tow
The more I complain
The more you let go
With a rush hour brain
And a heart to show
And a song
In a twilight sleep
With a head full of smoke
When the chemical leaves
I'll be on my own
So I carry the weight
But don't let it show
Like the secrets you keep
And the oats you sew
What I try to believe
Though I'm never shown
The closer I get
The further you go

Our Souls Can't Be Saved
03:50

We were full time dreamers with part time jobs
Spending like kings while living like slobs
Our beds can’t be unmade, our souls can’t be saved
We’re never gonna fade if we burn today
We’re never gonna fade if we burn today
We were rock ‘n’ roll soldiers with scars on our arms
Killing ourselves slowly by drowning in charm
Our debts can’t be unpaid, our souls can’t be saved
We’re never gonna trade all those memories we made
We’re never gonna trade all those memories we made
Oh no where do we go, oh no where do we go
Oh no where do we go, oh no where do we go
Left our marks on the rambling road
The lightning missed and we lost control
Oh no, where do we go
We were living off girlfriends and jack ‘n’ cokes
Cocaine from our good friends and everyone smoked
We all acted like stars when we played the corner bar
They come up and tell you that you’re gonna make it far
They come up and tell you that you’re gonna make it far
We were driving towards death and surprised we made it
That feeling of insecurity will we finally shake it
All the blood we gave still our souls can’t be saved
We’re never gonna fade if we burn today
We’re never gonna fade if we burn today
Oh no where do we go, oh no where do we go
Oh no where do we go, oh no where do we go
Left our marks on the rambling road
The lightning missed and we lost control
Oh no, where do we go
Cut to five and dime weekends with half filled rooms
Our bodies started breaking down our brains are going too
Our hearts are unafraid, our souls can’t be saved
We’re living in the shade of decisions we made
We’re living in the shade of decisions we made
Left our marks on the rambling road
The lightning missed and we lost control
Oh no, where do we go
Now we’re part time dreamers with full time jobs
Pretending we’re ok with the life they robbed
Our minds can’t be repaved, our souls can’t be saved
We’re never gonna trade all those memories we made
We’re never gonna trade all those memories we made
