The Ladder
Andrew Belle
woe is me
faithless you and selfish me
i will leave a key for you outside my doorway
woe is me
one if by the land, or two by sea
so won’t you leave, for me, a light outside your doorway
on a ladder from there to here i’ll climb
all this clatter between my ears i find
does it matter if i cant clear my mind?
There’s a right and a wrong time
Woe is me
Sentimental you and faithful me
And i will be the one to gaze on you discreetly
Slow your speed
Turn yourself around and follow me
Cause i will be the one who preys upon you sweetly
on a ladder from there to here i’ll climb
all this clatter between my ears i find
does it matter if i can’t clear my mind?
There’s a right and a wrong time
on a ladder from there to here i’ll climb
all this clatter between my ears i find
does it matter if i can’t clear my mind?
There’s a right and a wrong time

Static Waves (Feat. Katie Herzig)
Andrew Belle, Thomas Doeve, Adam Agin
i count the steps from where i am
to where i started
i tap my feet
and close the door, to your apartment
and i know youre never gonna understand
its too late for you to stop and think
too late to mention
i make a move and spill my drink
to break the tension
i know youre never gonna understand
ill try my best to follow if i can, but
i would have let you leave (x3)
the static waves across the screen
define this notion
back and forth and in between
like my emotion
and i know youre never gonna understand
and wont you slow this down oh if you can
you swayed your hips and stole the breathe
that i was taking
i touched your lips and held your hands
when they were shaking
look how we’ve fallen upon our knees
how we forgot it
these empty halls held our disease
before we caught it
now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment
i would have let you leave
the static waves across the screen
define this notion
back and forth and in between
like my emotion
now out the door and down the stairs
from your apartment
i count the steps from where i am
to where i started
i would have let you (x3)
i would have let you leave.

Tower
Adam Agin
How the fog hangs above
the cityscape
there’s a cloud of angels
above your bed tonight
i’m watching through the window
on the fire escape
by the line weighing your laundry
there’s ripples in the bed sheets
like waves in a sea
from every breathe you’re taking
i’m walking a tight rope
above the city
cars are passing by
beneath my feet
i’m wanting you to walk with me
on this wire, from tower to tower
when the dusk settles in
the torture begins
in my chest the fire won’t rest
from the secrets that we kept
there’s a symphony of sirens
down on the street
and all of the noise makes my ears ring
these syncopated lights
have convinced my eyes
that i’ve become hypnotized

Add It Up
Andrew Belle, Trent Dabbs
Tell me which way is up
I’m getting lost for crying out loud
had a point i meant to make
came to me as the wheels touched down
come to think of it
i’m the one who’s letting you down
tell me what does it for you now that i’m not around
I know it doesn’t add up when you put it on paper
you were playing by the water cause you knew i would save you
now that you’re time’s run out
Static climbs inside my mind
all these lines they blur into one
higher road they turn and wind
all this time my back’s to the sun
come to think of it
i’m surprised that i didn’t run
what’s to make of it
the parts were not as great as the sum
I know it doesn’t add up when you put it on paper
you were playing by the water cause you knew i would save you
now that you’re time’s run out
oh when you add it all up
you’ll see that nobody made you
you were clinging for your life as the memory escaped ya
now that you’re time’s run out
i need a second wind of hope now
i need a second wind, a second to myself now
now that my time’s run out

Reach
Andrew Belle, Adam Agin
Tell me why you reach
grasping for my knee, my wrist
the ladder on this beach, connecting you to me like this

Oh My Stars
Andrew Belle
have a seat upon this branch of mine
its been a while honey i think i feel fine
i see the question mark a top your spine
ive got a ladder honey wont you let me climb
tell me all about your foreign wars
and all about the photographs that line your drawers
cause i know a lot about closing doors
but not enough about what opens up yours
oh my my
oh my stars
everything you see is ours
or it could be if you would try
i wish you would
i wish you might
oh oh
if everything you’ve said to me has been true
then all my stars are leading me to you
ooh ooh ooh ooh
have a seat upon this branch of mine
its been a while honey wont you take your time
and i see the question mark a top your spine
ive got a ladder honey wont you let me climb
oh my my

everything you see is ours
or it could be if you would try
i wish you would
i wish you might
oh oh
if everything you’ve said to me has been true
then all my stars are leading me to you
ooh ooh ooh ooh
oh my my
oh my stars

Don’t Blame Yourself
Andrew Belle
oh i don’t get to sleep very well anymore
because of you
oh and all my jeans are torn
from begging on my knees
in front of you
oh don’t blame yourself
cause i know that you’ll try
but you need someone to be someone better than me
in your life
oh i don’t like to be very sentimental if i don’t have to be
oh but i think that i just may have glued my hands to yours
if you had asked me

My Oldest Friend
Andrew Belle
Don’t wanna sound ridiculous
but i think you know i’m sick of this
and i kinda think that we can bend, do you?
i’ll try to be a better friend to you
you know i miss ya in my life
and i kinda think that i realize
that i was only lookin out for me
instead of gettin you the help you need
who do you think you are?
who do i think i am?
barely listening to my oldest friend
i’ve given one, you’ve taken two
but this medicine has followed you
from the eastern coast and back again
so i tell you once but not again
that i only miss you in my life
and i hope you finally realize
that i’m only looking out for you
when i’m not afraid to see this through

Open Your Eyes
Andrew Belle
Open your eyes now
it’s time to see
if you can reach me
open your eyes now
it’s time to leave me
open your eyes now
it’s time to see
if you still believe in me
open your life now
i’ll try to be all that you need me to be
she’ll be a star now
i will follow her lead
she’ll be a scar now
i will still let her bleed
open your eyes now
and try to speak
like you can see me
open your eyes now
i’ll try to be almost everything you need me to be
she’ll be a star now
i will follow her lead
she’ll be a scar now
i will still let her bleed
all over me

Make It Without You
Andrew Belle
This is the starting of my greatest fear
i’m all packed up, getting out of here
but then you call and tell me not to go
that i’m the one who put the rock n roll
in your life
this is the starting of a brand new day
i never liked this town much anyway
i need this city like i need the rain
i know that somewhere there’s a north bound train
oh i’ll make it without you
and though my bodies laying here
it’s my mouth that must be lying now
this is the starting of my fall from grace
my self esteem, it’s seen better days
but you know i’ll never let this go to waste
i’ll keep this memory on the map i trace
back to home
my friends go out, but i’ve been staying in
i know i should but that’s the way it’s been
i never cared much for the taste of gin
i still don’t now, oh, but it’s been helpin
oh i’ll make it without you
in my life
oh i’ll make it without you
and though my bodies laying here
it’s my mouth that must be lying now
