Empty Moon 03:15
empty moon honey is it hard to make friends the way your emotions bend and almost break well it's nothing we could just pretend just keep whispering everything we say what strange mistakes that we all make don't make me laugh i won't make you wait but it happens fast like a drunken night some call it a blur some call it life i call it dreaming laying half awake flying on a plane while i lay in place she has a hard time breathing when we stay out late she sleeps on her side so she won't sufficate then she cried about the day she died said how'd we turn our backs how i want her back but hearts attack and nothing lasts under a picture frame dressed in black it's just the seasons why i can't let go fall is a smell i know the mountains in lake tahoe it's just a feeling like the peaks of snow bluer then the sea on a bed of pine needles a bed of yellow leaves a never ending dream this town is not so charming when you never leave don't you see what i mean slowly dying as the sirens sing and i've been thinking why are we still friends emotionless when you close your eyes what are you seeing i guess it all depends a sea of nothingness or a blinding light it's all in our minds just a mess of vines and the more we climb the further we slide i said you'll be fine she said i think you're right under an empty moon we say goodnight it's all in our minds just a mess of vines and the more we climb the further we slide she said you'll be fine i said i hope you're right under an empty moon we kiss goodnight lyrics: Brendan Hangauer

drinking binge they're new not improvements confused but it doesn't matter you are used broke in two and bruised they'll make you feel better i said i think we should leave you said i kind of see what you mean but the party is just down the street think we'll drive my oh my they know we always come through with drinks i wonder why my oh my they're young so much fun and dumb full of something and you want to get some more then nothing i said this beer not helping me see you said lets take one more shot on me but the party is just down the street think we'll try my oh my they know we always come through with drinks i wonder why my oh my i've been told getting old doesn't happen slowly i can feel it in my bones getting old and lonely if i could just get to sleep i'd be fine i don't want to die but sometimes i think i might but it's alright i won't see you tonight gotta let it end this drinking binge finally fall asleep what a beautiful sight and i had a dream that i meet her tonight and she filled the empty space in my heart said things are falling into place not apart i swear they are lyrics: Brendan Hangauer

Colorado 03:44
colorado i can't believe it the way that i'm feeling never thought i'd feel this again and a weight lifted as i was leaving and i settled in go to colorado and i'll find you a feather and you can wear it in your hair things keep changing just like the weather and it's snowing up here what's it doing down there i heard it's raining ice like my heart is you should watch your step i heard the first step is always the hardest what about all the rest go to california and i'll find you a sea shell you can wear it around your neck put it up to your ear hear the secrets you can't tell what they mean to you yet it's the sound of the ocean or just the motion of the air through the tunnel of your mind or a memory that makes you freeze when it soaks in i wonder if it's the same as mine go to hawaii with the turquoise skies and our friends living in paradise we won't talk about who's right cause it doesn't matter this time it's just the sun reflecting in our eyes off the ice blue water on top of the lava i hold your daughter up to the moon light on such a dark night if we don't make it it's alright at least we could say that we never really tried lyrics: Brendan Hangauer

The Cost 07:00
the cost she's so afraid to call thought i had thought of it all such a strange way to die after such a long fall we finally hit the wall she likes the city noise and a long distance voice and doing what she wants and acting so annoyed and leaving me no choice i like the easy life and staying up all night and sleeping in all day but i woke up to find i'd wasted so much time what am i supposed to do with the time i wasted on you and all the things we put each other through well i wish i knew guess that's the price you pay no matter how much you make i'm sure he'll buy you whatever you want and tell you everything is ok and he'll do whatever you say my girl she doesn't want it that way the storm came and turned the sky grey and the lighting lit up her face and the thunder shook her awake she said i'm so afraid baby, don't be scared cause i told you how i feel i never would pretend i care and you know you helped me heal i know i hurt you bad you don't have to tell me that something are hard to forget it's just kinda how things went well i'm done with guilt and lies can't you see it in my eyes yours are brown like the summertime i like to see them close so the focus slides baby you changed my mind found my heart that i left behind must have been hard to find buried under all that ice with the lessons you learn in life like take some of your own advice it's get hard to explain like the soothing effects of pain you realize that it's all the same and there's no one left to blame but something just seem right like the snow melting outside lyrics: Brendan Hangauer

before our hearts explode get to bordeaux before our hearts explode we're so used to being lonely tell me what i should know so i can let it go you like to let things burn out slowly i brought a sickness from the other side will you heal me with your loving with you by my side i think i'll be alright we'll find out in the morning you said you'd be right back you didn't really mean that take the train to brussels hope we don't get hustled you're so proud that you speak french the first night we saw that terrible fight ever wonder how it went the rain is so pretty in this gothic city a big room with just a bed we walked all day till we couldn't feel our legs how could i forget you said you'd be right back you didn't really mean that nothing to lose in brugge let's quench our thirst and make love at the lucca i want to go see the windmills first whatever you want to do love the english mates sure clear their plates and yell at the waiters the beer here makes my head so clear feel less like a stranger you said you'd be right back you didn't really mean that shed no tears in trier so glad we're here and our friend she's an angel running late we cross through the black gate i've seen you from every single angle the last night under the disco light we got drunk like americans next day the same were back on the train good things always end you said you'd be right back you didn't really mean that get to bordeaux before our hearts explode we're so used to being lonely tell me what i should know so i can let it go you like to let things burn out slowly lyrics: Brendan Hangauer

eskimo brothers let go let go let it go yeah i'm telling you the truth you just can't have as much fun as you used to yeah i know yeah i know yeah i know i should probably move there's just so many things i'm used to like waking up going to work and going out and waking up by myself i think i just want to be alone right now like waking up going to work and going out and waking up with someone else i led her to my room like a burnt out lighthouse i'm not saying i don't love her i'm not saying i don't care the stars remind me i'm in the middle of nowhere in this town in this town things get passed around eventually passed to me would you rather fish in a pond or fish in the sea the city it seems has magnetic beams so real they make you believe so you cut your strings for the beautiful song she sings then the waves come around and they drag you down so dark it gets hard to see yeah i guess she's kind of pretty in the pond in the pond they make you wait so long stand still but they can hear you breathe in this scene everyone knows everything i'm not saying i don't love her i'm not saying i don't care the stars remind me i'm in the middle of nowhere let go let go let it go cause you know you can't win against where she's been and all the others yeah i know yeah i know yeah i know see i'm not a little kid so here's to my friends and my eskimo brothers lyrics: Brendan Hangauer

fall in august feels like fall in august hope i don't fall off my promise that i will be with you in a year i know it seems like forever but we just need a fall and a winter and spring and a summer to disappear well i've seen it happen it's just one long pattern and it just goes faster i feel and less clear like a broken mirror what do you make of the reflection my dear do you think what am i doing here and our friends think we're weird i know but thats not what i want it to show well we've got problems but i think we could solve them at least say enough is enough see i said i was sorry and you said you were sorry and that they didn't mean anything to us well at least not me i never saw what you'd seen i mean was it love or was it lust or an awkward touch or a nervous blush were you giving in or giving up sometimes i feel like i know sometimes i feel like i don't but mostly i feel like i won't i heard he treated you like a joke just a side note young girl with the city lights in her eyes and were you surprised when he gave you the time no severed ties just sorry lies and just cloudy skies and just wondering why he was spending so much time at nyu and just dried up tears like who really cares about everything that we'd been through well you know that i do and i hope that you do to but you never begged me to move lyrics: Brendan Hangauer

Berlin 03:51
berlin have fun in berlin with your mexican friend tell his sister i said hi when you talk to her again ask her why she lied when we were sitting outside why she helped you hide your silly double life you didn't even cry when we said goodbye when i left did he come and see you that night did you wash your sheets or did you not have the time did your room smell like me and you combined did he say oh well i don't mind did he fall asleep on your side or mine what a crime thanks for staying away in new york i got to do some things i'd never done to her and tell her cousins i'm sorry for being such a jerk but you know some things still actually hurt and sharing my girl is not going to work but i guess you bought your plane ticket first wait to tell me from the furthest distance type me a letter in blind confidence say you've met someone else you're so proud of yourself your head to the side and you're rolling your eyes talking like someone i don't recognize say still come to france but you'll be second in line well nice try have fun in berlin with your mexican friend not sure if i'll ever see you again and yeah i knew that this would be hard i haven't been sleeping or eating at all just wondering if you'll miss me now that i'm gone and i feel like i've never meet you before will you promise me this since you can't promise me more come find me when you find out who you are lyrics: Brendan Hangauer
