Anchors Up 03:34
(Back on my feet) When everything falls down and around I'll be the fucked up kid trying to stay afloat in this town But my ship has it's holes and everybody knows I'm sinking down (Oh) To the bottom of the sea (Oh) Tell myself that this was meant to be Anchors up Anchors up Let's get out of this place Set sail for anywhere but here Anchors up Anchors up and away I've been tied down for too long Everyday I was drowning in doubt Such a sinking feeling I'd never get out And it cuts so deep Through bone and grief It feels so good to be back on my feet Well maybe it's just a run of bad luck Telling myself that I deserve too much But my daggers are sharp And all my friends keep singing I know that everything happens for a reason But your life seems to have no meaning You're getting older and I'll always be young After a long year This is the closet I've been To just fitting in Don't swing misguided fists my way Don't tell us how you feel And If you're gonna talk be real Bearing a clumsy grip Will surely sink this ship And if it goes down We go down with it (We won't go down)

Tonight's the night Listen to every word you say and I'll take it to heart Be careful not to fall apart Your words are worthless if they fall straight to the floor You're always creeping in up my spine Trying to change my mind But i don't care what you say Or where your mouth runs I make my own fate and that will never change Mom and dad I'm sorry I have to go Can't you see that I'm better off on my own 19 years and we have nothing Nothing that burns inside on lonely nights A home away from home I promise letters from the road I'll be back when I have grown So stumble through Your words it's the only thing you ever did well I hope you're trying hard not to dwell On contradictions that destroy you And your games You'll never know how it feels to bleed inside Bearing your heart out for the world just to stay alive I make my own fate and that will never change On and on these nights go on and on No one to call When you fall through the cracks So watch me take The path less traveled While you stay On the road that comes So easily to everyone that's In too deep

Miles Away 03:57
Heavy Hearted- Miles away Album: When You Were Home facebook.com/heavyheartedca I'm always singing the songs that make me Feel like I'm not just wasting my time Tonight I'll bury myself in my room And stay miles away From the bonds you've broken And torn down Can I hold on to anyone that knows how I feel Am I the only one that still stands for something Stands for something real These are the best days of our lives Don't let me get inside my head Please won't you save me I'm still hanging on to every word you said No mistakes No regrets No one doubts Or forgets No more losing ourselves to somebody else This distance is killing me Growing up is so much harder Without you and all the songs are always sad Another day I can lose to myself While your miles away from the Time I'm wasting in this town Where nothing is fine Does anyone know how I feel I'm falling apart and giving into something Into something real I'll ride this out until the end Before everything you're my best friend What will make you cave in And come back to where it all began

Sit tight and listen to my heavy words Let them carry you along when your feelings are the worst Its times like these that make you easy to resist  Say what you want about me But this is where I've always been Right here with my heart on my sleeve Breathe deeply and I will get through this  Travel blind into the great unknown I'm on my own Don't get me wrong But It's been so long since I've seen you smile   I know I'm not the best  But I'm close to it Did I read you wrong I'll just keep writing songs And hanging my head So low where you cant reach me anymore This time I'm facing all my fears When you feel your heart shattering  Just know that it's too solid to be broken So many words will be unspoken  If you follow me into the great unknown (Known) I'm on my own Anchors up  It's time to sail away You're busy drowning in the San Francisco Bay The undertow pulling you down fast But My heavy heart was built to last And I'm coming out swinging You can say what you want about me But you'll never know the life that I lead I'll just keep writing songs  And I'll just keep hanging my head

(Everyone) keeps telling me I won't just settle down and fade away But I've never burned this bright How can I live if I'm dying inside You said you always said life's like the movies Where a solid heart of gold Can keep me from my own disaster I always keep my head up in the clouds The view is always better from the top It's like every word I say Makes you want to replay All of the perfect dreams you've had We're not here to let our walls fall down I'm doing my best someday I'll run this town (What have they done) to me It's like everyone surrounding me is taking over Nothing can bring us down No one will stop us You think how can you think our days are numbered Your head is drowning in those lies Listen to yourself don't fall into line I always keep my eyes focused on you I know I'll never forget these days I've had so much doubt that's tried to keep me tied down I've had so much doubt but it won't keep me tied down I wrote this song for all my friends That let me down once again Where were you when I needed so much I hope this means something to you These songs mean everything to me

Heavy Heart 01:43
Oh You thought I'd never see the face That lies behind your mask But you can't hide from yourself One last request before you Burn down my best intentions Drown in your grief (Drown in your grief) Your life is a mess of broken truths Feel my chest explode in two  As you lie through your teeth (Lie through your teeth) Now you sink so deep in your self loathing  Won't you come up for some air It's time It's time that you fall It's time you hit the ground You never gave a fuck Stay away My dear I write so many songs But this one is for you  And not because I care All because I still hate to See your face and  You're calling me out Leaving the worst taste in my mouth Behind your back I swear I'll burn your house  To the ground  If it gets to you Such a mess  Such a waste of energy  I'd take it all back if i could   Don't care how you feel  Don't care what you say I never needed you anyway

Sleeptalkers 03:46
I've risen from the depths of my bed  It's so hard to sleep nights alone While keeping you out of my head Please let me know That you won't let me go Admit to yourself That you are a threat to our health I'm trying my best to hide what's inside But that look in your eyes I am your best friend Or all that is left of them I'll carry you all the way home If you promise to stay for a while And keep me so close to that smile  I promise I will Call you now and then If you will kill what's left inside The pain will quickly subside You told me you loved me Were you just sleeptalking You're burning down a beautiful thing cross my fingers I'm telling you lies Won't stay here to drown in your eyes Please go easy on me I'm falling in and out of sleep Please go easy on me I was just sleeptalking again

Daggers 03:46
I'm one step away from the past And it's making it so hard to sleep days away And I know they say That some things won't change  But the weight of the world is almost too much to take (Why is it so hard)  to move on (I wish I could see you)  But you're still gone I'm not like you guys I can't just dry my eyes It's been weighing on my conscience for some time These thoughts of you I just can't keep out of my mind It's time to cut my losses Abandon the process Of pulling daggers out of my heart And this was always my safe place to run and hide When days got to dark to bear Now I'm so far from home  And the clock seems to own Our final minutes together Most days I walk with a heavy head And try keep my eyes on the road ahead  Buried so deep Feeling my heart sink I hope I make it Hope I make it out alive I'll salvage what's left of me I'll try to find myself deep inside our memories And lie there waiting for you to come home And lay my head to rest I'll salvage what's left of me If you can help me find the person I was always meant to be I just want you to come home I miss reading you my poems And singing you to sleep When I open my eyes I wish for longer nights and clear skies All of my friends and the summer skyline Let's wait up with the sunrise  Stay here with me
