This Busted Heart
03:40

The day you taught me the blues
My heart broke in two
I felt my innocence leave
With you
I never thought that the sun
Could shine so cold and
That the sky above
Could turn into a hole
You’ll never know
You’re why I sing the blues
‘Cause you’re not around
To see how I feel about you
When I’m alone with my thought
It always goes back to you
And when I’m in a crowd
I can always feel you in the room
What I would give
Just to feel you again, my dove
What I would take
Your heart, your hips, your lips and your love

Before We Start
03:36
|

|
I’m still a child inside
I see your face, I run and hide
I’ve known you all these years
Still I’m filled up with fear
I’ve never been okay
There’s no time to waste
When I miss you everyday
No, I wasn’t there for you
You were scared, I was scared too
And so inside I hide
Without you in my life
I’d love for you to call
Or miss me at all
Maybe you’re better off
But I can’t take that chance
And if all hope is lost
Then I’ll try to understand
But now there’s no time to waste
I miss you everyday
Oh, I’ll be there for you
If we could start, start anew

How it Ends
03:26
|
|||
|
I don’t know how it ends, but I know how it begins
Should learn to keep my mouth shut, and I never win
The nights are getting longer as the days go on by
But you know I’m still working this 9 to 5
It may seem absurd, that I don’t know just where we’re going
But I’ve heard, you know it’s love when every single
Word escapes me
I can’t let this; I won’t let this go
I’m not always a nice guy; they finish last
I’m also lazy with the mouth of a smart ass
But these don’t define me, or what I do
‘Cuz nobody’s perfect, but you
Everytime I see you, I melt inside
With shivers in my head and down my spine
I hope you’re not distracted, I hope you hear this plea
‘Cuz I fell for you like I hope you fell for me

Holding the High
03:37
|
|||
|
Words are flowing out of your mouth into my ear
But I’m just not listening ‘cause you’re getting hard to hear
I know I’ll get in trouble, so I sit and I stare
Nod my head occasionally just to show that I care
But I’m a million miles away
Dreaming of the sunshine and a place by the bay
Daydreaming about the girl with the curly hair
She shines like the sun while she floats in the air
Then a sour note brings me back for a bit
Then I back with her, we’re a perfect fit, oh
Dreaming, still dreaming
About the girl with the curly hair
Seeing, still seeing
Aw, seeing her face every place

Bombs Explode
02:44
|
|||
|
There is an anvil on the ceiling
It hovers right above my head
And for the audience, it’s comedy
That any minute, I’ll be dead
I threw myself upon the bomb
And I huddled tighter towards the spark
Hoping for a little warmth and comfort
A little light in all the dark
And yes, I know, bombs explode
But it’s better to lose than to have never known
Yes, I agree, there is something in me
Still, I’d rather it not be
The ghost train barrels through my body
Ravaging everything it sees
It knocked me to the tracks again,
Lord I can barely breathe
Lord, I can barely

I’m never stressed, that’s just how I feel
I need to get this off my chest so you’ll have to deal
I can’t stand you anymore with your cold, blank stare
I can’t ignore that you don’t care
I’m gone, and I won’t feel any emotion when you fall
I know you’re fallin’ alone, now walk away
From your desperate plea for attention; break you down
So you won’t be callin’ me home, now let me out
I’m so far down, I can’t be picked up
I know now, I’m a chump
I know you have changed, but I don’t know why
My life is so strange; this is goodbye

Ambiguous Denver
03:05
|

|
We’ve been here so long, forgot where we came in
The party’s long gone, but I’ll still let you in
Don’t pull me closer, you’ll only break your heart
You knew I chose her and you chose where to start
Forgive, forget this; just don’t regret this
The glass was half-full, our future looked so bright
But now it’s empty, and you’re all alone tonight
(When I go) You’ll say, let me play a part
(When I go) Let me mend your broken heart
(When I go) You can have my heart and soul
(When I go) I won’t need them to be whole
Everything’s different, but it all feels the same
Forgetting it all; all I got’s your name
You’re the song in my head, the beating of my heart
If I had to guess, I guess we’re better off

The Sunkeep
03:07
|
|||
|
I woke up this morning and tripped again
Life without warning, hope it never ends
Are you still waiting for something different to come
Still hesitating, why be scared of the sun?
I won’t take to waking, leave me in sleep
No driving forces come over me
I came in clear, I was well-received
But nobody listens until I leave
I guess that means you’ll hear this
Don’t listen for your name
The sun keeps shinin’, feelin’ alive today
I keep on smilin’, keep goin’ on my way
The sun keeps shinin’, feelin’ alive today
I keep on smilin’, keep goin’ on my way
What are you thinkin’ stayin’ in all day?
There’s beauty outside, can’t just stay away
Forget all your troubles, throw those problems down
I can’t be too subtle yellin’ this too loud
Because I know you’ll hear this
And there’s no one left to blame

Cold Feet Running
02:29
|
|||
|
I got these young man blues like never before
Gettin’ outta bed was never a chore
D’you remember when the future looked so bright?
It’s funny, I can’t even sleep at night
Happiness is just a fleeting thought
I’ve taken for granted all the things that I got
Sad little man that I’ve become
A hopeless romantic who’s lost faith in love
You were the one; now you’re no one
And if there’s something that I did wrong
I’ll take it back, but not for too long
I see you now for what you are
A firework but not a shooting star

A Man Can Dream
02:29
|
|||
|
Tell me how long have I been standing here
Waiting for you to come back
I can still hear your voice calling through the air
I can still feel my heart crack
You might be back tomorrow, so I’ll be standing here again
You might be back and I’ll be there
When we met I was walking on sunshine
Now my whole world is dark
When we met, our love was like wildfire
Now I search for a spark

The Night Goes By
03:31
|
|||
|
It’s raining hard on the streets tonight
But I’m driving fast trying to ease my mind
The night, oh the night
Grabs my soul and won’t let go
My life is made up of the night sound
My mind drives me to the darkness on the edge of town
If time decides to stop killing me
Ticking every minutes, every hour from my body
But until then I’ll buy cheap hope
And drink it alone at night, far from home
Spinning around, but still on the ground
Is it time to leave this all behind
And ride the road until sunlight
The night is cool, the moon shines in my eye
Reflecting every moment and lifetime went by
So I’ll sit here lying in wake of
Every decision and mistake I’ve made

Accident
02:16
|
|||
|
Don’t you think of me or what I’m waiting for
Don’t you look at me, or your eyes get sore
The world moves on, I’m just a blur
I’ll never be the man you were
Into the city I descend
I’ll bet the city understand
Your favorite accident I used to be
Your favorite medicine has replaced me

Political Party Crashers Toms River, New Jersey
We are an 8-piece band having a hard time defining our genre. The best and most accurate way to describe ourselves is a band that began 5 years ago as a Ska-Punk band that evolved into a band that takes a very heavy influence from Alternative, Jazz, Swing, Blues, Soul, and Rock & Roll as well as staying true to our roots. We hope you enjoy listening to us as much as we love playing for all of you. ... more
