Album Title: Hurt(2015)


[Verse 1]

The red lights stare into your eyes

They burn like Ohio fireflies

We were younger on the summer nights

But I was born to lose

For a couple of bucks into the tank

We drove until the moon had sank

A dead end life on a dead end road

I had everything to prove

(I had everything to prove)

[Chorus]

The tail lights drew closer as I followed you home

A conversation took a turn and left me all alone

Poured all my heart and spilled my blood

I screamed until it hurt

I noticed that when I saw your eyes

There was nothing left to burn

[Verse 2]

The lonesome highway became my home

I burned up all these Ohio roads

The summer miles became winter nights

As I memorized I75

On the dead end road that took me back

To that end of summer heart attack

I parked the car and crossed the tracks

And I searched for those dying eyes

(Dying eyes)

[Chorus]

The tail lights drew closer as I followed you home

A conversation took a turn and left me all alone

Poured all my heart and spilled my blood

I screamed until it hurt

I noticed that when I saw your eyes

There was nothing left to burn
