Float

Driving snow in the headlights
Through a cold wall of pure white
Christmas storm was blowing through
Trapped me out on the road with you
I can barely see Right in front of me

(Chorus)
I’m gonna float like a star
When this trip comes to an end
I won’t fall for you again
I’m gonna float like a star
When I get out of this car

Letting go of a first love
Crawling out from the under the
Fear that I’m gonna regret
And always wish that I had you back
It’s your siren song
That’s held me down

(Bridge)

You grip the wheel and glare ahead
An angry look and I acquiesce
If I stay I’ll be at your beckon call
I know if I leave
You’ll say it’s my fault

Tires spin on the black ice
Snow drift by the road side
Pushes back like a north wind
Straight up I begin to lift

Voices of Boys

Hearing the voices of boys in your mind
Grow smaller and hollow, they fooled you alright
They linger and haunt you and force you to lie
About things that inspire one to suicide

Sister you may not cross that bridge
That sways over top of your memories
Those cuts in time
Without someone to hold you

Surrounded by family we kids would play
Little moments of gold were stolen away
When breathtaking venom took one at a time
We’re left without our brothers and still don’t know why

You cradle the chase and hope
That you’ll find a way to make
All this noise go away

Your days spent alone you soared to great highs
Disillusioned you went where you’d never dare climb
And fell to the floor drowned in voices of boys
Who live out their lives through mine and yours
