I went sifting through old letters
Just to find your number written on a page
Sometimes I remember secrets that you said
In places nobody could trace
Ooh you creep around my head
With all the things you said and
Boxes that you kept labeled lightly with my name
In case I didn't stay
Of course I'd never stay for promises you'd break
I'll come running I'll be where you are
I'll coming running I'll see you're found out
Watch me re-invent the web
The madness in my head will turn a darker red
Just as you had predicted my blood has turned quite thick
The sight of me would surely sicken you to death
All the people that you said had been interested
In listening all disappeared
How convenient this was, I placed all of my trust
Into someone I thought was worthy of so very much
Ooh you creep up on me kinda like a nightmare in my sleep
Oh you creep up on me kinda like a nightmare in my sleep
I'll come running and I'll be where you are
I'll come running I'll be where you are
I'll come running I'll see you're found out
Will you love me now
Will you love me now
Will you love me now
Will you love me love me now
In Passing lyrics - Company of Thieves
One time we were in passing
I watched the future
Swirling 'round
Around my head
And this is how it went
You and I both
A long time waiting in lines
Too long to comprehend
We both sat
Waiting in line for the rest of our lives
Yoo hoo, hoo hoo
Forever and after
We went on forever
One time you were inhaling
I saw the smoke rings
Whirling 'round
Your heedless head
You bored me to my death
You and I both
Alongside waiting outside in lines
Too long to comprehend
We both sat in lines
Waiting for the rest of our lives
Yoo hoo, hoo hoo
Forever after
We went on forever
I prefer to sleep alone
I prefer to stay right here
Don't come searching
I prefer the windows up
I prefer the fresher air
And for the record
Yoo hoo, hoo hoo
Forever and
Forever and after
We went on forever
And after
We went on forever
I watched the future
Swirling 'round
Around my head
And this is how it went
You and I both
A long time waiting in lines
Too long to comprehend
We both sat
Waiting in line for the rest of our lives
Yoo hoo, hoo hoo
Forever and after
We went on forever
One time you were inhaling
I saw the smoke rings
Whirling 'round
Your heedless head
You bored me to my death
You and I both
Alongside waiting outside in lines
Too long to comprehend
We both sat in lines
Waiting for the rest of our lives
Yoo hoo, hoo hoo
Forever after
We went on forever
I prefer to sleep alone
I prefer to stay right here
Don't come searching
I prefer the windows up
I prefer the fresher air
And for the record
Yoo hoo, hoo hoo
Forever and
Forever and after
We went on forever
And after
We went on forever

Big bright accent, catty smile,

And we make this world our hell
We are all our own devil

Quiet On The Front lyrics - Company of Thieves
I can't hold a glass of wine yet,
But they think it's fun to have me hold a gun,
Kill a man, and kill his son.
Well, straight down in the yard when
Uncle pulled his gun and
Sent him off alone fighting blind in dark
The wheels just keep on turning
The men just keep on marching in
I swear to god if you don't get that letter
I will kill myself before they kill me on the line
In the end the heart divines
In the pictures, we'll reside
Without memories we all fade in time, in time
Mother sweeps at night the porch
Squints, hardly to discover
Baby coming home, but of course
She doesn't to know how or when he will get there
Surely needing repair
Worries to the bone, gets weaker
As the wheels just keep on turning
The men just keep on marching in
I swear to god if you don't get that letter
I will kill myself before they kill me on the line
In the end the heart divines
In the pictures, we'll reside
Without memories, we all fade in time, in time
'Ma'am we found his corpse
With sincere regret?
'Ma'am we found his corpse
With sincere regret?
In the end the heart divines
In the pictures, we'll reside
Without memories we all fade in time
Without memories we all fade in time, in time
Without memories we all fade in time, in time
Without memories we all fade in time, in time
Without memories we all fade in time, in time
But they think it's fun to have me hold a gun,
Kill a man, and kill his son.
Well, straight down in the yard when
Uncle pulled his gun and
Sent him off alone fighting blind in dark
The wheels just keep on turning
The men just keep on marching in
I swear to god if you don't get that letter
I will kill myself before they kill me on the line
In the end the heart divines
In the pictures, we'll reside
Without memories we all fade in time, in time

Worries to the bone, gets weaker
As the wheels just keep on turning
The men just keep on marching in
I swear to god if you don't get that letter
I will kill myself before they kill me on the line
In the end the heart divines

Without memories, we all fade in time, in time

'Ma'am we found his corpse

Without memories we all fade in time
Without memories we all fade in time, in time
Without memories we all fade in time, in time
Without memories we all fade in time, in time

Pressure lyrics - Company of Thieves
I am angry all the time no ones fault but mine
tell me how you fashion kind when you're out of style
and I try hard to answer all the questions that you've posed
tell me now how should I care when I feel so alone and so unloved
and the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
you come home real late at night
ripe to pick a fight, I know just the kind you like
so come on and bite
and I've tried hard to answer all the punches that you've thrown
tell me now how should I fare
when I feel so unloved and so alone
and the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
the pressure is rising...I've been compromising for you
I'm waiting at the bus stop in the morning and it's pouring
I am waiting at the bus stop for you
Staring at walls with closed doors, the key that won't work
sure helps the time pass by saying
I'm wrong when I'm wrong and knowing it's the right thing
sure helps the thoughts in my mind [x2]
and the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
I'm waiting at the bus stop in the morning and it's pouring
I am waiting at the bus stop for you
tell me how you fashion kind when you're out of style
and I try hard to answer all the questions that you've posed
tell me now how should I care when I feel so alone and so unloved
and the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
you come home real late at night
ripe to pick a fight, I know just the kind you like
so come on and bite
and I've tried hard to answer all the punches that you've thrown
tell me now how should I fare
when I feel so unloved and so alone
and the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
the pressure is rising...I've been compromising for you
I'm waiting at the bus stop in the morning and it's pouring
I am waiting at the bus stop for you
Staring at walls with closed doors, the key that won't work
sure helps the time pass by saying
I'm wrong when I'm wrong and knowing it's the right thing
sure helps the thoughts in my mind [x2]
and the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
the pressure is rising I mean it, it's binding
I've been compromising for you
I'm waiting at the bus stop in the morning and it's pouring
I am waiting at the bus stop for you
Around The Block lyrics - Company of Thieves
I want to know
What's been going on
What's around the block
I'd like to die
with the songs I love stuck in my head
Seeming seamless,
It was never easy enough,
to keep a smile thin
while they pushed into bed
Feeling fearless,
It was never easy enough,
to figure friends from foes
and so this story goes...
I want to know
What's been going on
What's around the block
I'd like to die
with the songs I love stuck in my head
I hope to make the most
of all those hollow bones we become,
Wo-oh, I raise a toast
to the souls that sang all along
Feeling fearless,
It was never easy enough
to keep my feet on ground
and head out of the clouds
I want to know
What's been going on
What's around the block
I'd like to die
with the songs I love stuck in my head
I hope to make the most
of all those hollow bones we become,
Wo-oh, I raise a toast
to the souls that sang all along
I've been gathering friends
just to make some sound
before the ship goes down
and
I've been making amends
by making the rounds before the whole world ends
and
I've been gathering friends
just to make some sounds
before the ship goes down.
I want to know
What's been going on
What's around the block
I'd like to die
with the songs I love stuck in my head
I hope to make the most
of all those hollow bones we become,
We all could raise a toast
to the souls that sang all alone
I hope to make the most
We all could raise a toast
I'd like to die
with the songs I love stuck in my head.
What's been going on
What's around the block
I'd like to die

Even In The Dark lyrics - Company of Thieves
For those who work so hard
Never see their children
Never see their children grow
Into the gifts they give them
This is life is all unknown
Gotta listen to their laughter
Everyone must be heard now
Even in the dark
For those who seek no answers
Keep it from the table
Ignorance is eaten up
When everyone must be fed
This life is constant hunger
See it in the dreamers
Believe in the believers of never-ending love
An end is kind of love
Even in the darkness
Whoa...
Even in the dark
Find your calling
Even in the dark
Find your calling
Find your calling
Even in the dark
Find your calling
You gotta find your calling
Even in the dark
Everyone must be heard
Even in the darkness
Even in the dark
Even in the darkness
Whoa...
Even in the dark
Never see their children
Never see their children grow
Into the gifts they give them
This is life is all unknown
Gotta listen to their laughter
Everyone must be heard now
Even in the dark
For those who seek no answers
Keep it from the table
Ignorance is eaten up
When everyone must be fed
This life is constant hunger
See it in the dreamers
Believe in the believers of never-ending love
An end is kind of love
Even in the darkness
Whoa...
Even in the dark
Find your calling
Even in the dark
Find your calling
Find your calling
Even in the dark
Find your calling
You gotta find your calling
Even in the dark
Everyone must be heard
Even in the darkness
Even in the dark
Even in the darkness
Whoa...
Even in the dark
Under The Umbrella lyrics - Company of Thieves
This train is moving so fast
I don't even know where it's going
A tunnel's up on the left
I guess everybody is guessing
They're growing so old
They're growing so oh-oh-old
Growing old
In your house
And you're here with pills
You're growing so old
You can't even feel this
In your house alone with the phone
You're growing so old
You can't even hear this
It's 10 AM in the diner
A man's waiting in front of me
Living my dreams through his planner
One thing they'll know it don't mean a thing
He'll see he's growing old
I'm growing so oh-oh-old
Growing old
Oh, we try and remember hazy days
Mixing up medication
Take it 'til you find your way
Oh, we try and remember hazy days
Hiding under umbrellas
Dizzy dancing to the grave
You are, you are
In the room
Under the umbrella
Hiding from all the rainfall
Hiding from it all
Nothing's ever enough
Na na na-nananana
I don't even know where it's going
A tunnel's up on the left
I guess everybody is guessing
They're growing so old
They're growing so oh-oh-old
Growing old
In your house
And you're here with pills
You're growing so old
You can't even feel this
In your house alone with the phone
You're growing so old
You can't even hear this
It's 10 AM in the diner
A man's waiting in front of me
Living my dreams through his planner
One thing they'll know it don't mean a thing
He'll see he's growing old
I'm growing so oh-oh-old
Growing old
Oh, we try and remember hazy days
Mixing up medication
Take it 'til you find your way
Oh, we try and remember hazy days
Hiding under umbrellas
Dizzy dancing to the grave
You are, you are
In the room
Under the umbrella
Hiding from all the rainfall
Hiding from it all
Nothing's ever enough
Na na na-nananana
Past The Sleep lyrics - Company of Thieves
Across the ocean
Under the sand
That got in your wounds
Across the ocean
Under the land
That you now consume
There sleeps a demon
It wakes at night by the light of the moon
And its watching while you sleep
While you sit and dream
Of all the people laughing
Picking up the shells
Too concerned with suntans
Nobody can tell
They end up empty, wanting, wandering
Hollow like their shells
On seashores and sailors can tell they'll never tell to their maidens and babies
Tales that they'll never tell
Across the ocean
Under the water that got in your lungs
There sleeps a demon
It knows exactly what you will become
And it's watching while you sleep
While you sit and dream
Of all the people laughing
Picking up the shells
Too concerned with suntans
Nobody can tell
They end up empty, wanting, wandering
Hollow like their shells
On Seashores and sailors can tell they'll never
Tell to their maidens and babies
Tales that they'll never tell
While you're dreaming at the sea...
They end up empty, wanting, wandering
Hollow like their shells
On Seashores and sailors can tell they'll never
Tell to their maidens and babies
Tales that they'll never tell
They end up empty, wanting, wandering
Hollow like their shells
Under the sand
That got in your wounds
Across the ocean
Under the land
That you now consume
There sleeps a demon
It wakes at night by the light of the moon
And its watching while you sleep
While you sit and dream
Of all the people laughing
Picking up the shells
Too concerned with suntans
Nobody can tell
They end up empty, wanting, wandering
Hollow like their shells
On seashores and sailors can tell they'll never tell to their maidens and babies
Tales that they'll never tell
Across the ocean
Under the water that got in your lungs
There sleeps a demon
It knows exactly what you will become
And it's watching while you sleep
While you sit and dream
Of all the people laughing
Picking up the shells
Too concerned with suntans
Nobody can tell
They end up empty, wanting, wandering
Hollow like their shells
On Seashores and sailors can tell they'll never
Tell to their maidens and babies
Tales that they'll never tell
While you're dreaming at the sea...
They end up empty, wanting, wandering
Hollow like their shells
On Seashores and sailors can tell they'll never
Tell to their maidens and babies
Tales that they'll never tell
They end up empty, wanting, wandering
Hollow like their shells
The Fire Song lyrics - Company of Thieves
Brit was right when she said we should worry the
Boys outside ran in a hurry
Mom held tight to the ground it was made of grass
Then the house burnt down so fast
School at night lead to heads filled with blurry the
Games of pride were storm-like in there
Fury I made light of the in picked labs
As the house burnt down so fast
And as you pry
I thought that I'd forgotten
And as you pry
I thought that I'd forgotten
Grace all the papers, the story of the neighbors
the house burned down so fast
late to wake, in office
explaining to the bosses
the house burned down the past
To keep our peace and fix the place
You stayed in hotels
To keep a peace and stay sane
I went to Victoria's
Well you stayed in hotels
You stayed in hotels
Why I ran away I'll never know
Why I ran away I'll never know
Why I ran away I'll never know
Never ever know
Never ever know
The Tornado Song lyrics - Company of Thieves
He said, boys let's paint the sky.
It's do or die
And black tonight
We shoot um down
Beneath this high horse that we ride
Soft skin boys we blow away
On this dirt path that you play
It's to the fair
For this family to stay
They'll stay, stay, stay
And breakaway
And as all the churches fall
So does, so does the ferris wheel
Oh what a great tornado
All the rides and petty fights
Turn to nothing with the night
Except the wind
It gathers quickly up the light
Little girls wait in line
For their maypole dirty sides
Shouting out as they swiftly spin around
They spin around, around, around
Til they fall down
And as all the churches fall
So does, so does the ferris wheel
Oh what a great tornado
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all the children run
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all the children run
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all children run
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all children run
The cowboys they pull out their guns
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all children run
And as all the churches fall
Fall
So does the ferris wheel
Under the great tornadohhh
It's do or die
And black tonight
We shoot um down
Beneath this high horse that we ride
Soft skin boys we blow away
On this dirt path that you play
It's to the fair
For this family to stay
They'll stay, stay, stay
And breakaway
And as all the churches fall
So does, so does the ferris wheel
Oh what a great tornado
All the rides and petty fights
Turn to nothing with the night
Except the wind
It gathers quickly up the light
Little girls wait in line
For their maypole dirty sides
Shouting out as they swiftly spin around
They spin around, around, around
Til they fall down
And as all the churches fall
So does, so does the ferris wheel
Oh what a great tornado
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all the children run
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all the children run
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all children run
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all children run
The cowboys they pull out their guns
The cowboys they pull out their guns
And all children run
And as all the churches fall
Fall
So does the ferris wheel
Under the great tornadohhh
New Letters lyrics - Company of Thieves
I fell in love when you were brushing your teeth
Over my kitchen sink
I have no means for distraction
No fuel that feeds the reaction
I just came all this way just to say
I really do believe
This was much more than "meant to be"
I fell under when you were waiting for me
Over lines far from time
What do they mean?
I have no means for distraction
No fuel that feeds the reaction
I just came all this way just to say
I really do believe
This was much more than "meant to be"
I really do believe in you
I really do believe in this
I won't give up
I can't give in
Can't get enough
Where to begin?
I won't give up on you
I can't give in
Can't get enough of this
Where to begin?
I won't give up
I can't give in
Can't get enough
Where to begin?
I won't give up on you
I can't give in
Can't get enough of this
Where to begin?
Oh, where to begin?
Let's all get together and start a cure
Let's all get together and start over
Over
Let's all get together and start a cure
Let's all get together and start over
Over
Over
Over
Over
Over my kitchen sink
I have no means for distraction
No fuel that feeds the reaction

When The City Waves, You Must Learn To Swim lyrics - Company of Thieves
I somehow
realized that I was using it all
realized that I was shit out of luck
sitting on door steps waiting for you
while you're out there
half away across the world, my dear
I am back here in the states
naked as we go
sitting waiting for you
I never claimed to understand what I was looking for
I never made it to a plan where I was open for
I want to show you the city and the trees
I want to show you the grey and the green
so come with me.... won't you please
won't you just come with me
realized that I was using it all
realized that I was shit out of luck
sitting on door steps waiting for you
while you're out there
half away across the world, my dear
I am back here in the states
naked as we go
sitting waiting for you
I never claimed to understand what I was looking for
I never made it to a plan where I was open for
I want to show you the city and the trees
I want to show you the grey and the green
so come with me.... won't you please
won't you just come with me
