Ghost Town lyrics - Cary Brothers

Light a match and burn this all down
Suffocate the voices in doubt
Nothing here is falling in place
A map that points to all our mistakes

Too much to handle too much to take
This is a ghost town
Too far to go to get to here
Too much of this sound
I need a light, I need to know when I can break out
Tell me it's safe now
Tell me it's safe now

Spiders crawling down from the walls
They might be listening to this call
Are you even all that you say?
The chemicals, they make me this way

Too much to handle, much too late
This is a ghost town
Too far to go to get to hear too much of this sound
I need a sign I need to know when I can break out
Tell me it's safe now
Tell me it's safe now

When everybody acts like a game
Are we really just filling space
But all the pieces, they don't add up to none

Too much to handle, much to take
This is a ghost town
Too far to go to get to here too much of this sound
I need a light, I need to know when I can break out
Tell me it's safe now
Tell me it's safe now
Light a match and burn this all down

Under Control lyrics - Cary Brothers

Lost a night again
This path is taking its toll
All your worry spent
In broken glass on the floor

Oh, it's just a bottle that holds
An empty soul

What was the sign?
When did you know?
I promise this time
To keep it under control
Under control, under control, under control, keep it under control

The room was spinning round
You shuffled me to the door
Heard you tell your friends, all of them
The lies you told them before

Oh, you're not a victim of hope
I alone brought you this low

What was the sign?
When did you know?
Give me the time
I'll give you control
Under control, under control, keep it under control

I've nothing to defend
And you have suffered enough
Help me make amends
Under control
Under control, under control, keep it under control
Keep it under control, keep it under control
Keep it under control, keep it under control

Break Off The Bough lyrics - Cary Brothers

Welcome to real life
What's in the cards?
Reason has folded
Passion departs

Cause you picked your poison
In the words of tainted hearts
There's a truth behind this folly
End is a start

So break off the bough
You want it all but you don't know how
You're shakin' on an autumn tree
You take a little part of me

What was the point of going insane?
Looking for solace, but nobody came
And the world waits on notice
Cause the time is running out
And this plan will get you nowhere
By yourself

So break off the bough
You want it all but you don't know how
You're shakin' on an autumn tree
You take a little part of me

Wake up the town
Show them all just what you're about
You're shakin' on an autumn tree
You take a little part of me

No more chasing ever after all
So long wasted life
Now it's your call

So break off the bough
You want it all but you don't know how
You're shakin' on an autumn tree
You take a little part of me

Break off the bough
You want it all but you don't know how
You're shakin' on an autumn tree
You take a little part of me

Turn the page, feel like you could own this day
You're shakin' on an autumn tree
You take a little part of me
You're shakin' on an autumn tree
You take a little part of me
You take a little part of me

After The Fall lyrics - Cary Brothers


Come home, an absence of feeling
Slow down and mean what you say
What did you figure out, dear?
It's all whispering now

Shut your mouth
Your words they just fall to the floor
I hear it all come down
Take my life, take all of it
Talk to you after the fall
No regrets, just circumstance
Talk to you after the fall

Broke my back lifting your spirit
And now you give me no voice
You say I did nothing wrong here
How can you be so calm?

Shut your mouth
Your words they just tear me apart
I'll give you a head start
Take my life, take all of it
Talk to you after the fall
Shined your light, it's burning out
Talk to you after the fall

Everything changes, you say
Everything changes
Don't be a stranger, my sweet love
Everything's strange

Shut your mouth
Just let me see all that I had
Here for the last time
Take my life, take all of it
Talk to you after the fall
No regret, just circumstance
Talk to you after the fall
Talk to you after the fall
Just talk to me after the wall

Someday lyrics - Cary Brothers

I turn the key situation is electrical
Take a breath with all my senses heightened in a slow salvation
From a life pretending
You show me all the places that you wanna go
I come inside and never knew the feeling of a slow surrender
Mind is bending

Someday we will become one, find our own way
Someday will be forever
One day it could be so
You and I and nothing

The mirror tells a history I never won
But you don't mind, and all the weight is lifted with an understanding
You drop defenses
My hands are shaking as I touch you for the first time
I've been waiting for this moment
For this moment

Someday we will become one, find our own way
Someday will be forever
One day it could be so
You and I and nothing

We really gonna take the time?
We really gonna fight to see it through?
I've suffered with the wait so long
This is the calling, this is the reason that I'm never gonna let you fall away
This is the motion, this is the meaning
And you know I'll never let you fall away
This is the moment, and I can feel it
I've been looking for a love like this to save me
Suffered with the wait so long

Someday we will become one, find our own way
Someday will be forever
One day it could be so
You and I and nothing

Someday we will become one, find our own way
Someday will be forever
One day it could be so
You and I and nothing
You and I and nothing

Belong lyrics - Cary Brothers

Wake up lonely with you by my side
One more night it doesn't feel
There are movies playing in your eyes
You dream of our fortunes

But you're wrong
I don't belong to you

The moon is the only friend I have outside
One more drink and I'll be healed
I told you the words and then knew it was a lie
I wish I could offer an appeal

You're wrong
I don't belong
You're wrong
I don't belong to you

What I'd give for that first night when you were mine
Tried with all that I have to keep you alive

I wasn't taught this way
With a thousand things to say
I was born with a broken heart
What I'd give for that first night when you were mine
Thought you were mine

So I'll put this cigarette to bed
Pull some sheets from off your side
I put my arm around you safe in the night
Still dreaming of fortune
But you're wrong
I don't belong
You're wrong
I don't belong
I don't belong

Over & Out lyrics - Cary Brothers

I'll give you everything you wanted
That's what you said, your words of weight
And what's this temple that you started
Your blessings gained by our mistakes

Over and out
I gave my soul for you
Taking it back, I can't pay for faith with dues
Your house is a wreck, an open door for fools
New messiah, you can't save my soul

You're playing God, is it your ego?
Or just a way with others' pain?
That caring smile becoming see-through
I watch you fake and entertain
How dare you divide us with fear through grace?
What gives you the right to decide my fate?

Over and out
I gave my soul for you
Taking it back, I can't pay for faith with dues
Your house is a wreck, an open door for fools
New messiah, you can't save my soul

I'll pray for you as I walk away
I've claimed my soul

Alien lyrics - Cary Brothers

Breaking your heart was never my intention
Playing with parts too fragile in the ending

We have become alien, we have become alien
Give me a song that weighs a ton
We have become alien

Stop and we start, asking all the questions
Raising alarm, a symptom of the tension
Though we're unarmed, we fumble through the trenches
Taking apart all that we invented

We have become alien
We have become alien
Give me a song that weighs a ton
We have become alien

We played the part til comfort's gone
Now the only language is loss
The language of loss

We have become alien
We have become alien
Give me a song that weighs a ton
We have become alien

Something About You lyrics - Cary Brothers



How how can it be
That a love carved out of caring
Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard from the games played once too often
But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection
Born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all?

Drawn into the stream of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
That there is something about you baby so right
I wouldn't be here without you baby tonight

If ever our love was concealed
No one can say that we didn't feel a million things
And a perfect dream of life

Gone, fragile but free
We remain tender together
If not so in love, it's not so wrong
We're only human after all

These changing years
They add to your confusion
Oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth
Because there's something about you baby so right
I wouldn't be here without you baby tonight

Can't Take My Eyes Off You lyrics - Cary Brothers

I've come to tell you all the truth
Though you always had the proof of it

My arms will grow
Chest expanding

Of all the boys you could have landed
Why'd it have to be me?

You...can't take my eyes off of you
You...can't take my eyes off of you

Wisdom tells me to turn away
Broken once, it's all the same

My arms will grow
Chest expanding

Of all the boys you could have landed
Why'd it have to be me?

You...can't take my eyes off of you
You...can't take my eyes off of you

Skyway lyrics - Cary Brothers

(originally by The Replacements)

You take the skyway, high above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street

But you take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
It's warm up inside
Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride
Beneath the skyway

Oh, then one day, I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Where, the place I'd catch my ride most everyday
There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say
Up in the skyway

Skyway
Skyway (sky away)

Forget About You lyrics - Cary Brothers

Wide awake, fall again
Scratchin at my wounds
Always in tune
Love came too soon

And in the morning, I saw the wave
Wasn't it something
And you say you don't need me
And you say you love the scene

Forget about you

Had a feelin it would come to this
Stitches always breaking
Every sound that you make
Keeps me awake

And in the morning, I saw the gaze
It wasn't a comfort
And you say you don't need me
And you say you want to breathe

Forget about you

Forget about all this life we have
We were the unseen
And I don't regret the days
Wasn't it something

Forget about you

Jealousy lyrics - Cary Brothers

Touched by all of your grace
The only one to see my other face

Is it too much to ask of you
To stay inside with me?
Is it too much to ask of you
To keep me alive?

It's my jealousy
Creepin' up on me
Just my jealousy
Creepin' up on me

Fortunes could fall upon your kiss
Everyone a suitor I could miss

Is it too much to ask of you
To stay inside with me?
Is it too much to ask of you
To keep me alive?

It's my jealousy
Creepin' up on me
Just my jealousy
Creepin' up on me

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

No, this jealousy
Won't get to me
Nom this jealousy
Won't get to me

You set me free
Your love set me free
You put your armor on me
You put your armor on me
You put your armor on me

Ride lyrics - Cary Brothers

You are everything I wanted
The scars of all I'll ever know

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride...

You saw all my pieces broken
This darkness that I could never show

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride...

Who You Are lyrics - Cary Brothers

Though the pin hole, see the night go
You're terrified of the light show
One more pill and you won't feel a thing

'Cause you push me off in pieces
So you never feel the blame
Of a broken heart and all that it contains

And you don't know who you are
But you don't know who you are

You try to, but you can't move
As the windows crash around you
No one there to carry you away

And the photographs are falling
And they're shaking to the core
YOu never did tread lightly
You want more

And you don't know who you are
But you don't know who you are

Come outside, take my hand
All the things you'll understand
And you will know
When you let go

I adore you

The Glass Parade lyrics - Cary Brothers

Just a voice inside you head
Whispering all the hope is dead
All the times you had to prove
That no one really loves you

I found you in a reflection
You didn't want me to see
I will give you all I have
Just look up, break down and believe

This is a glass parade
A fragile state
And I am trying not to break
And the stars are shining
The moon is right
And I would kill to be with you tonight

Wish you told me all the truth
So afraid to face an absolute
All the fights you had to lose
All the fear was put upon you

I found you when you were broken
Too many cracks of deceit
I will give you all I have
Just look up, break down and believe

This is a glass parade
A fragile state
And I am trying not to break
And the stars are shining
The moon is right
And I would kill to be with you tonight

This is the feeling, falling
So much I want to say
Show me the same emotion
Show me what's at stake
And how much can you take
When you realize your fate?

Hold me now as the car lights fade
And we are dancing in the glass parade
Dancing in the glass parade
We are dancing in the glass parade

It's just a voice inside your head

Honestly lyrics - Cary Brothers

Think I'm goin' home
I think I'm gettin' lost for a while
Tired of getting stoned
And thinkin' about you in the night

So I'll file away all my dreams
Though I still believe in everything

I wished your love away

Honestly over you
Honestly over you
One lie short of true
Honestly over you

Lookin' for some hope
Polished off the whiskey tonight
You turned a man to stone
For lookin' at you straight in the eyes

So I'll drive away with all my things
Though I've a faint belief in everything

I wished your love away
I wished your love away

Honestly over you
Honestly over you
And I'll tell the world
Honestly over you

I wished your love away

The Last One lyrics - Cary Brothers


Did you know
That the right won?
Another fool
You're the sidearm

And it's enough
That you broadcast
You got the touch

This is the last one
This is the last one

Did you find
What you wanted?
Another match
For the straw man

I've had enough
It can bleed through
You think you're tough

Well, this is the last one
This is the last one

Hold on to me
One more night
Hold on to me
Can't take it all
Can't take it all

And you know
That I need you
But you know
I can see through you

This is the last one
You can't take it all

Loneliest Girl In The World lyrics - Cary Brothers

You are the loneliest girl in the world
Taking your hits as they come
You are the loneliest girl in the world
And tonight you'd fall for anyone

It's in the way you fall down to bed
It's in the way you cry when he's not looking

You are the loneliest girl in the world
I'll watch you die a thousand times again
You are the loneliest girl in the world
And I just want to make it go away
And I just want to make it go away

If You Were Here lyrics - Cary Brothers

If you were here
I could deceive you
And if you were here
You would believe

But would you suspect
My emotion wandering, yeah?
Do not want a part of this anymore

The rain water drips
Through the cracks in the ceiling
And I'll have to spend
My time on repair
And just like the rain
I'll be always fallin', yeah
Only to rise and fall again

If you were here
I could deceive you
And if you were here
You would believe

But would you suspect
My emotion wandering, yeah?
Do not want a part of this anymore

If you were here
I could deceive you
And if you were here
You would believe

But just like the rain
I'll be always fallin', yeah
Only to rise and fall again

Think Awhile lyrics - Cary Brothers

I'm tired of hearin' everything you say
It's rolling off your tongue across my face
It seems the time to leave
It seems we tried

What's the use in talking?
I think I'm gonna go for a walk and think
Awhile
And think awhile

You know my love is real, it's not your game
An honest feather tickling at your fate
I told you I would leave
I even cried

Did you think that I was joking?
I think I'm gonna go for a smoke and think
Awhile
And think awhile

Don't raise your voice to me
Cause you know you lost that right a long
Time ago

If I could make you believe
And trust me
What's the use in trusting?
I think I'm gonna catch the last bus and think
Awhile
And think awhile
And think awhile
And think awhile

All The Rage lyrics - Cary Brothers

Inside you know a heart fooled of hope
Inside you know an empire of soul

To hold on for love
Hurts me, it's slow
One word's enough
One word this time
It never comes

Faith...
It's all the rage

To hold on for love
Hurts me, it's slow
One word's enough
One word this time
It never comes
It never comes

Faith...
It's all the rage
It's all the rage
It's all the rage

Precious Lie lyrics - Cary Brothers

Your whisper lightly
Your stakes are high
It's all denial
This waking life

So you are my precious lie
I told you I would break your heart

You were so in love
I was so inspired

The stones are thrown
It's all laid bare
My non-stick mind
Was hardly there

So you are my precious lie
I sold you out for one last high

You were so in love
I was so inspired

It's so cold out
We are the righteous
Come and stay, you are my love

It's so cold out
We are the righteous
Come and stay, you are my love

It's so cold out
We are the righteous
Come and stay, you are my love

So you are my precious lie
I told you I would break your heart

Blue Eyes lyrics - Cary Brothers

Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you

Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You're the sweet to my mean

Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true

Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes

All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you

Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna sing a song with you...
