Amaryllis 03:49
I drove for miles with a hole in me To see an angel wrapped up in uncertainty Sometimes I wonder what's on her mind Who she goes home to at night I guess I wonder all the time Like my father's same sad songs I'm trying to forgive the pain I've known Amaryllis eyes you've got your hold But this thunderstorm will drown my soul Don't turn me home She pulls her hair back and sighs Is this all that's left of our lives? Caught between a lie and a broken dream I can see it in her eyes The scars cut deep like mine She's the amber as the sun goes down The only reason that I'm still around She's a fire in my veins

I heard that you're not sorry and I guess that's a start If only you'd just climb down from your cross Don't worry about me I'm bulletproof it seems Line 'em up and fire on me My life becomes a story twisted, torn apart Loose lips and sinking ships just off the port of call Is there any honor left among us thieves? You stole my name and sold me out to sea Do you feel like you've walked for miles? These boots don't fit you or those thieving eyes If you want my hurt, I'd give it away If I could, I'd let you walk alone all day Did you drive away with your heart still on that porch? Did your battles with the bottle leave you passed out on the floor? Did you find that the pain numbed away? But the memory remains The part you tried to erase

Say you'll stay just for the night time I could say I won't be lonely another night I could breathe with all these demons at my feet You could keep them from crawling inside of me And I know you've heard it all before And the bones in my closet could tell you even more All these games that we play They don't make much sense to me So say you'll stay Say you'll stay just for the weekend Leaving me, under cover as a friend I'm falling deep and can't lie to myself anymore Before you walk out that door Don't trip on those words of where you stood before All these games that we play They don't make much sense to me So say you'll stay

Ramona 03:15
Ramona, how long has it been? I'm counting stars from the train cars and spelling out your name You and whiskey ain't lovers But you've had a few benders With a bottle of sun-warmed gin Ramona, where have you been? You moved out of the city, back to the country Saying, "These Lowell boys just don't know how to quit This city is no place for us train hopping kids Let's move on again" Ramona, this might be our end Count your blessings from the windows Trade a number for your name Nine-to fives might break us But this soul won't make another winter in my own skin Ramona, where have you been? You moved out of the country, out of the valley Saying, "Merrimack water's got me running thin No, this valley is no place for us train hopping kids Let's move on again"
