Legacy
03:18

from the ashes i leave to the words unsaid
from the songs i keep to the life i've led
wonder what you'll think of the things i leave
would i be proud of what you found
days and nights go by
grabbing at ghosts and the next line
dark in the space i keep
the way it will be when i sleep
all the letters in a box, curling pictures saved
funny drawings, broken locks, and little gifts you gave
and all these verses fill my drive
with the notions that i hide
days and nights go by
grabbing at ghosts and the next line
dark in the space i keep
the way it will be when i sleep
don't believe all you read
'cause i finally got what i need
dancing for perfection and you are
and you are my legacy
between my codes and verse
between the spaces and the words
lives a piece of me
waiting for you, waiting for you
these are the passions that leave
this is the air that i breathe
this is my life
waiting for you, waiting for you

Stated In

Maybe you should find another lover
Maybe he’ll give you sense of peace
Maybe he’ll love you like no other
And you’ll finally get your release
Maybe you should move out to Kentucky
Or whatever state you think that you’re in
Maybe out there you’ll finally be happy
Spend your time with your lover and your kin
Sometimes I think I know
But everytime you turned to go
Now that the light is growing thin
Kinda messed up in the state I’m in
Grab a whiskey, grab another gin
Let’s toast the time that I learned to live
I think I’ll head on down to Rhode Island
Take a trip over that tiny state line
Remember how we drove it that once
Back when you were a friend of mine
Now that the light is growing thin
Kinda messed up in the state I’m in
Grab a whiskey, grab another gin
Let’s toast the time that I learned to live
Memories may come rolling in
I’ll greet them like a long lost friend
We can share a drink, share a grin
Then I’ll send them off packing again...

Breathe

was a time you didn't blame me
for every problem that you had
when we could deal with the changes
and life was as good as it was bad
and if all you do is scream
it gets harder to believe
i don't want to leave
'cause there's more love than seems
just sometimes it stops to breathe
was a time we saw things right
and it wasn't possible to fail
when every burden seemed so light
but you've lost faith in that tale
and if all you do is scream
it gets harder to believe
i don't want to leave
'cause there's more love than seems
just sometimes it stops to breathe
do i deserve
all this rage
what was my mistake

Time to Go

i want to be free
i know you're like me
you, you should come right down
i want to see L.A.
we, we should leave today
you, you can drive us there
well, i know it's only dreaming
but it sure feels like it's time to go
spending all my time at home
i wanna cut my ties and go
it's time to go
all this time i swear to god
are you my friend or are you not
it's time to go
i think it's time to go
i think you know i'm right
you, you should come right down, now
well, i'm sick of all this shit
and i'm thinking that it's time to go
time to go now
