I'm cutting through, you're bleeding heart
and I would tell the truth, but I can't help myself
red rushes out, dissect this nerve
and I'll stop myself before I reach my cell
I wasn't asking for the world
and you know that I'm not one to follow through
all these city streets the people look the same
and I can see your face, and I can hear your name
I wasn't asking for the world
you're stabbing in, permanent scars
and you'll justify it all inside yourself
you've finished me, my pulse is gone
and you're satisfied to put this all to hell
I wasn't asking for the world
and you know that I'm not one to follow through
all these city streets the people look the same
and I can see your face, and I can hear your name
I wasn't asking for the world
drink the poison when you think it's over
(drink the poison)
stabbing yourself when you think it's too late
tragic endings are your thing; you love them
(tragic endings)
you love letting go, the ending's the same
drink the poison when you think it's over
(drink the poison)
inevitable, Verona lives inside of you
I wasn't asking for the world
and you know that I'm not one to follow through
all these city streets the people look the same
and I can see your face, and I can hear your name
I wasn't asking for the world
You won't repeat this for the rest of the crowd. I know they will miss but you'll still feel proud. Say it's gold, say it's fine. The secrets out that you're mine. The television radiates as the clock ticks on and on and on:It's getting too late and it's time to move on.
I can resist everything except temptation. My body breaks, but I am still intact inside. My human instinct, I can love unconditionally. Cross my heart and lie to you (my conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair) Failure within me. Promise you and let you down (Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself) Brings me to my knees. Follow me, lead you astray (nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail) Loathe myself to sleep. Your words kill me. You can breathe without oxygen and live without sorrow. How I envy you, though pity your ghost. Ignorance is bliss I wish I could never love you. So ironic that a heart made by man, when broken is easily fixed. But a human hurt can last a lifetime. Rust or decay. The fire or the flame. You and I will lead the path to change. Pave the way.
I gave you everything, but it just wasn't enough to make you stay. You said you'd give me time and space again. I asked to see you everyday. Now I'm waiting four year just to feel your touch, waiting four whole years to say how much I care. The flowers I gave you, died, lost and been thrown away, just like me. Life has passed me by, reflected in my eye. Never again will I have you beside me, you to be there. The years behind cost more than I'll ever have. Now I'm waiting four years just to hear your voice, waiting four whole years to lie right by your side. I waited all this time, just to see your smile. I waited all this time to say how much I care. Can you see me waiting for you everyday?
LET'S GO!!
Indifference grows, indifference feeds on me
a sickness fills the pathways were i breathe
miles away from where i want to be, want to be
one day you will see!!
nothing is this simple, this simple
one day you will see!!
it takes its toll on me, toll on me
HEY! lie awake and wait out all those
DAYS! till i finally come home
changed and jaded, everything that i hate
I'll be there...
trading in my youth, for broken wings
as i slowly watch you
walk away, so walk away
will you stay, will you stay, will you walk away?
FALL ASLEEP TO FLASHING SCREENS AND PAPER CUTS
WAKING UP WITH VACANT EYES AND BROKEN HEARTS AGAIN!!
ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE!
(ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE!)
nothing is this simple, this simple
ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE!
(ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE!)
it takes its toll on me, toll on me
HEY! lie awake and wait out all those
DAYS! till i finally come home
changed and jaded, everything that i hate
I'll be there...
The end begins. I can€™t escape as it pulls me further into anesthesia. Tear down my sense of conviction. Corrupt my soul. The end begins. In my eyes. In my heart. I have laid upon a deadman€™s bed, only to fall into a trap of lies and seduction that rivals the greatest sense of love. Play it back until the voice becomes just a sound. Penetrate my mind with all these images of you. I have given up an angel€™s kiss. Only to break apart your path of trust and burn myself down. Struggle to the end; I scare myself. I€™d give it all to have it back. I could have had it all in front of you all by myself. Love in my eyes, lust in my heart. I made it all up. Lies, deceit empowers me, so it ends.
SILVERSTEIN
The Ides Of March
Tie me up with sheets, and hang me from your tree
I'll stay out here all night, it doesn't even matter
As long as I can see, into your room and feel
Like I'm inside your life, I'll follow you forever
Don't cut me down just yet, I'll make things right again
Don't close your blinds on me, on me...
I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
And I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started
The snow won't go away, My nose runs down my face
No one sees me here, It doesn't even matter
And every step I take, I stay in the same place
I can't begin to start again why can't I just be perfect?
I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started
I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started
(YOU!)You see my ghost and you'll never forget it
(YOU!)My face is as white as the snow that haunts me
(YOU! YOU CAN'T!)Your windows my door and nothing can stop me
(YOU!)Sometimes betrayal can make you happy
Don't cut me down just yet, I'll make things right again
Don't close your blinds on me, on me...
I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started
(YOU!)I will never recover from this
(YOU!)I will never believe in this again
(YOU!)I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started
(YOU!)
As time passes us by and hurries us with pride, we'll have the past for the rest of our lives. Don't lose touch with reality, compensate for life's stupidity. I wait for it. You know that it's true. You cannot lose. A summer can't be forgotten from the words that you speak. Summer's stellar gaze. I wait for it. You know that it's true. You cannot lose. You're one of the few. Summer's Stellar Gaze.
The endings the same, past mistakes that you make come back to haunt you. I made a mistake; I wish I could take back everything that I did. I wanted to tell you, I really did. But how can I explain this? Promise me you will be there until the red light will change. I would wait forever. Promise me you will stay here until the darkness will fade, I'd wait for you.
You left me, now you come back to me saying it's changed and we're not the same people we once were. And you beg to be back with me, I can't see anything but you. Every night, I see you there. Everyday, I hate you and everything we once were. You keep saying it's changed and we're not the same. And you beg to be back with me, now I can't see anything. I won't forget everything that you put us through. Every night, I see you there. Everyday, I hate you. Crying can't carry you back to me.
The bright light beams from her eyes like broken glass. Or a broken heart, who would have guessed? You'd leave me here. Beneath my eyes I feel the tears, I hold back. I won't leave this way again. As my legs start to shake, I feel nothing. I wanted you, I needed you, but you weren't there for me this time. I won't leave this way again. You that I loved, that I needed. You weren't there. Not this time. What can I do? I was supposed to love you. What can I do? I won't leave. What can I do? I was supposed to love you. I cannot feel. Last breath I feel, warm air intake. The last summer's day, last one I take. I won't leave this way. Lost it all for you. When the shadows beam, misery remains. I won't leave this time.
When everyone has left me here, I€™ll make it on my own. Just wait and see. Maybe if you came back down, you€™d see it happening to you. Maybe you€™d even care. Hear me out, I don€™t think you€™ll make it out. Hear me out, see the writing on the wall. Burn your bridge and wear your heart out on your sleeve. You know you won€™t fool me. You made all these promises. You broke all these promises to me. Follow your heart this time. Did you mean all those things you said? Even when you said you€™d never change. Writing you letters you never read. Waste my breath on paper. When you reflect do you get that feeling like you used to? And every time you run away. I know you still have memories. Now that you€™ve left. Make me feel like I€™m gone. You did all these things I hated.
I used to make the light shine for you. The sun has left my sky. Velvet walls surround my sorrows. I€™ve sacrificed my pride. You€™re giving up on me. I€™ve laid myself to sleep tonight. I know you€™ve played out everything in your mind. And now you throw it all away. A shattered memory that you would stay, through thick and thin with me. You€™re giving up on me. And when you feel the pain, I€™m wishing I could stay. How can I say I love you back, you never made me happy. You€™ve laid yourself to sleep, I never said this wouldn€™t hurt. You gave up everything; I never said I€™d give it back. I know you€™ll never change; I won€™t be good enough for you. I know, you€™ll make it through, I€™ll never be around to see.
Your life lives half a nation away, my heart hurts so. I believe letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life. What did I do? Alone and confused. What can I say? What can I do? I'm heading the wrong way home. Knowing alone is alone. It's just too difficult to be just me instead of we. What did I do? Alone and confused. What can I say? Nothing. I don't know where to begin since you left me for him. I don't know where to begin and you left me for him. I don't want to start again, and I can't be your friend. I don't know where to begin since you left me for him.
I thought we'd be together forever. But it seems I was wrong and everything's falling apart. Think of what I've done for you. Think of all that we've been through. I hope every time he breaks your heart you think of me and how I was to you. Everything's falling apart. One day you'll see just how good I was. And I thought that we'd be together forever.
Come on!
Finish me off, follow the plan.
Break all the bonds, sever the ties.
And now your mission is complete,
Find and destroy me.
Torturing me, with words from your lips.
Filleting my skin, pulling my teeth.
Please forgive me for not being good enough.
Drown your sorrows in my pain
And it's something you can't explain.
When I'm choking on words you'll never say,
And you'll never feel the same.
Bound and gagged,
I cannot move or speak these things I want to say
I can't explain them anyway.
So if I had it all again,
If I could start from the first words I ever said,
I would do it all the same.
Drown your sorrows in my pain
And it's something you can't explain.
When I'm choking on words you'll never say,
And you'll never feel the same.
Your joy is my pain.
My fingers are yours to cut off
And my bones are yours to shatter in pieces.
My teeth are yours to pull out
And my soul is yours to slowly rip apart.
I can't trust anyone I meet.
From now on, my chest
Feels more like a fist wrapped in blood.
I'll write it down
Where you can see
I have gone to sleep
Try to relate
Can't give in to your temptations (temptations)
All your hopes and dreams, I'll take away
Its time that I forget your mistakes
you've taught me (you've taught me)
When I looked up to you
Fall to your knees
And Give up your aspirations (aspirations)
Fall in to your knees
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes
Defending you is getting
harder everyday, day
I'm breaking down
Behind this fear
If I don't go to my addiction
Make it through yourself
All your hopes and dreams, I'll take away
Its time that I forget your mistakes
you've taught me (you've taught me)
When I looked up to you
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes
Defending you is getting
hard everyday, day
I look inside myself for strength
Like a million times before
You'll never let it in because
I know you said
I know you said
I know, I know, I know, I know
Fall, I'll show you where this goes (where this goes)
How can you live this way
I'll never forget (Never forget)
Where I come from, Where I've been
I'll never forget you
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes
Defending you is getting
harder everyday, day
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes
Defending you is getting
harder everyday, day
You've lost it all
It was yesterday you told me you loved me. But today I learned you found someone else and everything was fake. When I get back home I know that you'll be gone. And all the things I've given you are left behind; I'll put them in a box. And today I found out you moved in with him. A one-bedroom apartment down the road from the place we first met. When I get back home I know that you'll be gone. With all the memories of me you had locked here in this box. And I'll start to think of everything we had. I was always there for you I asked for nothing in return I swear. I'll believe, you'll make you see. You were there with someone else. See my pain, I'll believe you were there with him. I don't want to see your face again, not like this. I don't have to see you in this place. I don't want to see your face again. I will not be ashamed not now. This time I won't be ashamed of it. This time I won't make it change myself. This time I will make myself believe. My heart, it won't break this time, won't be left behind, I won't be so shy; I won't let you win this time.
This was my fate, giving in
To your lips, To your eyes
i should have known it would come back to haunt me
Crooked smile, a reflection in your eyes
That shows my weakness for Beautiful mistakes
Something that I know you've seen before
I'm not the first
Set the trap, I'm falling for it every time
I can't believe, everyone knew from the start
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you
I'll Take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back
How do you feel? I bet you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
don't have a heart attack
But I won't stop you
flying high, razor blades make perfect lines
on just about anything you want
Broken pores spill out everything you want to say
it shows my weakness for falling in love with
my wallowing despair that shines in black
It consumes me, I'll take it back
i'll build it back to what it was
I can't believe Everyone you told this to
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you
I'll Take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back
How do you feel? I bet you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
don't have a heart attack
But I won't stop you
Everyone you promised to
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you
Cut me out, of your life
Like its nothing (Like I'm nothing)
Make believe you can love
that it's better, that you're better
Part of me is gone,
you've taken
You've taken
You've taken
You've taken
Part of me is gone,
you've take
You've taken
pieces from me
I'll Take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back
How do you feel? I bet you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
don't have a heart attack
But I won't stop you
You won't stop, you'll never change
You won't stop, you'll never change
You won't find me here
the place that you expected me to be
in my bed on the second floor
I'm outside your house
I'm closing in on you
And all the times you smiled
you said hello and thought I was okay
I was planning your final struggle
{Chorus}
When you wake up I'll be there
When you see me you'll be on your back again
When you, when you, when you, when you know you're Already dead, you'll love me too
You will find me here
the place you least expected me to be
Breaking through your basement window
I'm outside your room, I can hear you breathe
And all the times you laughed
you shook my hand and thought I was your friend
I was planning your tragic ending
When you wake up I'll be there
When you see me you'll be on your back again
When you, when you, when you, when you know you're Already dead, you'll love me too
You'll look down on me
with eyes of endless tragedy
Try and stop the pain
but there's never closure
Find your solace in what you could have been
When they look for me
the evidence is buried deep
Try to guide the way into the darkness
When you wake up I'll be there
When you see me
you'll be on your back again
When you, when you, when you
when you know you're already dead
(you're already dead)
you'll love me too
Looking down on me
through eyes that never stop crying
Looking down on me
I let it go and watched it fly,
So far away out of my sight.
I trusted in your eagle eye.
I let it go. I let it go.
I dug a hole into the ground.
I hid my chest, it won't be found.
I took a breath without a sound.
I let it go. I let it go.
Is this the start or end?
I've been told a thousand times it's good for me (good for me),
But I don't believe it.
I'm being warned by everyone that I meet (that I meet),
That I've set my world on fire.
Right now.
What it all comes down to.
I need to see it in your eyes (I need to see it in your eyes),
And never doubt it.
I need to know (Can you believe in something?).
I've been told a thousand times it's good for me (good for me),
But I don't believe it.
I'm being warned by everyone that I meet (that I meet),
The first time we met
Your face became etched
In my mind
You were the sun
I was the one
Who worshiped you.
My hands were your guns
Your eyes were my muse.
And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside
You could never reach
But can I still keep
A place in your heart?
You broke my heart
You promised me the moon and stars
I fell for your dreams. I fell for your lies
There was no other way
You know I tried
And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside
You could never reach
But can I still keep
A place in your heart?
There is something
I want you to know
I think you know exactly what it is
I didn't want to save you
I didn't want to save you
I set our house on fire
To watch it burn
But I couldn't just leave you there
And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside
You could never reach
But I'll ask you this
Will you still miss me?
(Yes I'll miss you)
Do you love me?
(Yes I love you)
Planes fill the sky
We'll both die tonight
We'll both die tonight
Hands from the sky
Swat us away like flies
As we follow the light
Planes fill the sky
We'll both die tonight
We'll both die tonight
Hands from the sky
Swat us away like flies
As we follow the light
We'll both die tonight
We'll both die tonight
Swat us away like flies
(We'll both die tonight)
As we follow the light
(As we follow the light)
This union, a battle fought and lost
This union was not about the cause
Never Again.
I'll slit my throat with the knife I pulled out of my spine.
Maybe when you find out that I'm dead,
You'll realize what you did to me.
[Chorus]
And if my lungs still let me breathe,
Would you be there for me?
If I can make myself believe,
I'll give you back what you took out.
No, I won't let it go.
Douse myself in gasoline
So Don't save me when you come into the fire.
I'd rather die than have to see your smile.
And if my lungs still let me breathe,
Would you be there for me?
If I can make myself believe,
I'll give you back what you took away.
You made me swear
You made me swear
I, I can't sleep.
Realize all these things that you took from me.
Smash my heart (you made me swear)
Into dust (you made me swear)
Suffocate my mind (you made me swear)
Tear at me from inside (you made me swear)
Smash apart what you created.
How can i ever stop you from crushing my soul?
It was It was yours, yours to begin with.
(Included in the new version)
All, I can think of, is my love for you
And all the fun times we shared together
As I end what I created
( ------------------------- )
And if my lungs still let me breathe,
Will you be there for me?
If i can make myself believe,
Start with best intent you've earned it.
Promise was made not kept you've burned it.
Sleep Around, you sleep Around.
He's driving around his stomach churning.
Peering in bedroom windows searching.
Sleep Around, you sleep arround with me.
A lie and excuse will make no difference.
And the shades don't ever make it down.
It's obvious, We're obvious, we walk and talk so loud.
In the morning we lock our bodies,
Sleep around, we sleep around in red.
I'm the setting sun behind the trees, the saddest one you've seen.
I've been burning holes and breaking dreams, and I regret it.
I'm fixing things I've broken, it's not as easy as it used to be.
I'm throwing temper tantrums. I used to settle, but now I make a scene.
You can't believe...
I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.
You're the swirling wind above the sea, the maddest storm they've seen.
Now you're breaking waves and smashing dreams, and you can't help it.
You're drowning streets and stranding a million people, you're starting out with me.
You're crashing down from anger, your stuff is settled and now you're sound asleep.
And so serene...
I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.
And when the sun is down and when the skies are calm you'll see, calm will be.
We'll wait for the cycle, we'll repeat our same mistakes. Same mistakes we've always made.
I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.
I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.
I shot this glance at you
In a minute I'll be gone
But not because I didn't want to
No one wants to dance
So I'm standing on my feet
Nobody takes the chance
To break the law to start the beat
So I'm sitting this one out
I'm planning on my own
I'm staying put for now
But not forever
I'll save this dance for you
In the morning I'll be gone
But not because I didn't want to
I tried so hard to stay, stay in love with you and me
I'm moving on because I have to
You say it's too late, I was wrong, you can't wait
I'll try now, if you stay, stay with me
I'll still fight for what's right
I still dream every night
I still want to believe
We'll Keep Calm and carry on with good intentions.
They'll prescribe the rights and wrongs until we're Perfect.
So maybe one day we'll be safe, in control and full of grace.
Never making a mistake, so Flawless.
Cut us Deeper to the core, we won't feel a thing.
Imperfection we ignore, embrace indifference.
I wish this wasn't all so hard, to be yourself and not on gaurd.
To stop the racing in your heart, We'll fight it.
Put me under now I'm powerless.
I'll take it all, I'll take it all, I'll take it.
I can't breathe without you.
You won't trust me, I won't trust you too.
You bring me back, you bring me back, you bring me.
Medicate me.
Hide me Deeper in my shell until I'm all alone.
I'm hearing voices in this cell, Hallucinating.
I could have sworn I heard it too, A sad and beautiful adieu.
It's telling me what I should do, I follow.
Put me under now i'm powerless.
I'll take it all, I'll take it all, I'll take it.
I can't breathe without you.
You won't trust me, I Won't trust you too.
Your bring me back, you bring me back, you bring me.
Medicate me now.
As I'm turning into this reflection you control me.
My body and my mind, my emotions and my pride.
The simplest things became the hardest part now.
The easiest parts have taken all my dreams.
I'm afraid I'll never be okay. I'm scared I can't be happy.
This Silence of fear, is not a way to be sincere,
and it's a way to cope, a way to deal, but not for me when I can't feel.
The subtleties that make me want to, be alive and not a statue.
Throwing up with the thought of you two
How could you do this?
My best friend with my bride
Now you tell me you are leaving
They'll see your fire through the dark night sky
I hope you're home when I arrive
If the there's a fire in the afterlife
I'll be there again to light the match, burn
Gasoline and fire
Is the perfect combination
Light it up, burn it down
Burning my addiction
They'll see your fire through the dark night sky
I hope you're home when I arrive
If there's a fire in the afterlife
I'll be there again to light the match
I am the light that warms up your body
And sets free the demons inside
I am the one that never ignores you
That never will let you down
They'll suspect but they'll never prove I was there
In my fate I feel the wrath of adrenaline
I am the light that warms up your body
(It's too hard to run away when I watch you stay)
That sets free the demons inside
I am the one that never ignores you
(To watch it burn, watch it churn into dust)
Single file you fall into
Another empty bottle
Growing larger, trapped inside
And now you cannot swallow all your pride
You'll fall asleep alone tonight
With one day less until you die
Until you die
One more time
You'll confirm all our suspicions
While you close your eyes and lie
You and I
Will continue to discover
That we're wasting so much time
Silver rings piercing the skin
We know you're keeping secrets
Horizontal memories
Too many just to regret deep inside
You'll fall asleep with them tonight
Penetrating in your mind
And not just tonight
One more time
You'll confirm all our suspicions
While you close your eyes and lie
You and I
Will continue to discover
That we're wasting so much time
Looking back
All the stupid drama
That painted my world black
Holding hands was the gateway drug
That led to mess I'm in
But I won't give up, I won't lie down
As you take away my friends
Don't try to change me now
(I know I've lost your heart, I might never get it back)
Don't start to judge me now
(If you could peer into my past, you'd see
Just how much love I've lacked)
There's been a hundred lows
But there has been a million highs
My heart bleeds no more;
Now, it's been turned to stone.
Your stomach feels sick for someone else.
I've broken both my legs falling for you.
Drag me on the ground!
Powerless I stand,
Tarnished blade,
Cutting through,
Pushed into my vein.
Blood still stains my hands.
Sharpening my sense of pain outside.
My heart bleeds no more;
Now, it's been turned to stone.
Your stomach feels sick for someone else.
I've broken both my legs falling for you.
Drag me on the ground.
Killing everything off inside.
Make sense of everything you tried to hide...
Hide from me.
My heart bleeds no more;
Now, it's been turned to stone.
My stomach feels sore from cutting up.
I ruined all my sanctity for you.
Smash me on the ground!
I wanted to...
Convince myself there's nothing else to do.
I wanted to...
Provide you with proof of what you put me through.
I wanted to...
Pretend that it was you.
(You're the worst thing that ever happened to me.)
Nooooo!
Killing everything off inside.
Make sense of everything you tried to hide...
Hide from me!
My heart bleeds no more;
Now, it's been turned to stone.
Your stomach feels sick for someone else.
I've broken both my legs falling for you.
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say
It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But that's nothing new, yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turning blue, and you say
Sorry like the angel, heaven
Let me think was you, but I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
Let's go
It's too late
It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah yeah
It's too late to apologize, yeah yeah
I'm holding on your rope
A 26 ounce promise
The bottle still lays there
We'll make a right on Brookfield
Never took anyone else here
The days I sit for hours
This night I tried to throw these rocks in to
This dirty lake that's home
You standing in my backyard
Your hands up in the air
Calling out my name one hundred times but I'm not there
I think you telling secrets
To people who don't care enough to know
Why I'm so scared
I'll just sit in silence
Waves the only sounds
A sailboat divide the clouds that cover this whole town
So if it really makes no difference
I'll just see you around
And if it doesn't matter
I'll stay here til the sun goes down
I'm standing in your front yard
My hands aren't in the air
And I don't say a word you know exactly why I'm here
A 26 ounce promise
The bottle still lays there
I'm cutting through, you're bleeding out
And I would tell the truth, but I can't help myself
Red rushes out, dissect this nerve
And I'll stop myself before I reach my cell
I wasn't asking for the world
And you know that I'm not one to follow through
All these city streets the people look the same
And I can see your face, and I can hear your name
I wasn't asking for the world
You're stabbing in. Permanent scars
And you'll justify it all inside yourself
You've finished me, my pulse is gone
And you're satisfied to put this all to hell
I wasn't asking for the world
And you know that I'm not one to follow through
All these city streets the people look the same
And I can see your face, and I can hear your name
I wasn't asking for the world
Drink the poison, when you think it's over
(Drink the poison)
Stabbing yourself, when you think it's too late
Tragic endings are your thing, you love them
(Tragic endings)
You love letting go, the ending's the same
Drink the poison, when you think it's over
(Drink the poison)
Inevitable, Verona lives inside of you
I wasn't asking for the world
And you know that I'm not one to follow through
All these city streets the people look the same
And I can see your face, and I can hear your name
Lying all alone, wishing you would call
Writing all my thoughts has broken all my bones
You gave it all up, you threw it all away
There's nothing I can do
What do I think of dying?
You know it's even worse
Than what's in my head
You don't believe me when I tell you
I don't want to be a fraud
And pretend that every thing's fine
I won't be here when you get home
I'm not gonna sit here and die
I'll follow through again this time
I'll swallow swords, spit out my pride
I'll be just fine
You read me like a book
You know I'm running out of legs to stand on
I won't believe you when you tell me
These old habits die so hard
There's no intervention in sight
There's no point in calling you
I'm just gonna stand here and fight
I'll follow through again this time
I'll swallow swords, spit out my pride
I'll be just fine, fine
You fill my head with endless lies
You're killing me, I'm killing time
I'll be just fine
So, maybe one day the pain will go away
And I will see your face, I won't even care
Changing all the locks 'cause I can't change you
I'll follow through again this time
I'll swallow swords, spit out my pride
I'll be just fine, fine
You fill my head with endless lies
You're killing me, I'm killing time
I'll be just fine
I'll follow through again this time
I'll swallow swords, spit out my pride
I'll be just fine, fine
You fill my head with endless lies
You're killing me, I'm killing time
This is the first day of my last days
I built it up now I take it apart
Climbed up real high now fall down real far
No need for me to stay the last thing left I just threw it away
I put my faith in god and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do
Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
I'm the one without a soul I'm the one with this big fucking hole
No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me I hate everyone
Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
You can't see me behind the door
I just heard everything you said
You call him
You're saying all the things you used to say to me
Who is he
I never thought you'd drop that avalanche on me
And be unfaithful
These hotel walls are paper thin
I'm going out
Seven seven with the lime will keep me safe
Long enough to stop the thought of your embrace inside my head
The lies that I've been fed
Throw it back behind my lips the pain is gone
Line em up and knock em down the night goes on
and on and on to let me cope with this disaster
I'm seven deep
Long brown hair and blue eyes
Looking right at me
Who is she
I never thought I'd ever think of stepping out
I'll fight this temptation
This crowded bar is full of sin
I'm going out
Seven seven with the lime will keep me safe
Long enough to stop the thought of your embrace inside my head
The lies that I've been fed
Throw it back behind my lips the pain is gone
Line em up and knock em down the night goes on
and on and on to let me cope with this disaster
I'm not coming home tonight
I'd rather sleep on the street
I'm not coming home to you
I won't sleep with the devil
[x3]
On this city street I'll rest my head tonight
I'm going out!
Seven seven with the lime will keep me safe
Long enough to stop the thought of your embrace inside my head
The lies that I've been fed
Throw it back behind my lips the pain is gone
Line em up and knock em down the night goes on
Im not here to judge you.
Im just here to tell you what you have done wrong.
Beautiful girl, looking her best takes off a towel.
Puts on a dress, Fixes her hair to look good for someone.
Waits in a car to go to a motel,
....to a motel
I may not always be perfect, but ill always try.
Will you say your prayers
Just to be honest with yourself?
Will you just save your soul?
Isnt this what youve wanted all along?
Husband cant bear to just lie to himself.
Stock market falls and he loses it all.
He sleeps alone for the third time this week.
Hes become numb.
He just wants this to be.
....wants this to be
I may not always be perfect, but ill always try.
Will you say your prayers
Just to be honest with yourself?
Will you just save your soul?
Isnt this what youve wanted all along?
Blood on the floor.
What have you done?
Heart in your hands.
What have you done?
may not always be perfect, but ill always try.
Will you say your prayers
Just to be honest with yourself?
Will you just save your soul?
Isnt this what youve wanted all along?
Will you say your prayers
Just to be honest with yourself?
Will you just save your soul?
Isnt this what youve wanted all along?
Will you say your prayers
Just to be honest with yourself?
Will you say your prayers
Just to be honest with yourself?
Will you just save your soul?
Isnt this what youve wanted all along?
Beautiful girl sleeps by herself.
Half the beds cold.
She knows its all her fault.
Shes given in and admitted defeat.
(You! You! )
The artist's palette falls,
The paint is spilled with blood.
Someone shot him down,
Left him without a soul.
His body's laid to rest and underground he'll stay,
With hopes to resurrect and live again another day.
Now they decide who lives and dies.
Now!
His peers won't come around,
They're too disgraced to face.
Another soldier down,
His life work's a waste.
And now these walls are bare,
No one pretends to care.
A distant memory,
His masterpiece
In disrepair.
Now they decide who lives and dies.
Now they will hold you back.
They will hold you back.
They will hold you...
We stand tall and illuminate.
We fight through and prevail.
We don't stop where you'd be giving up.
We won't ever fail.
A martyr takes his hand,
To make him live again.
With savage sleight of hand,
He'll force his legs to stand.
A sick and gutless joke,
A serenading hoax.
Interrupted peace.
A waste of time.
A pathetic excuse for hope.
The sleepless nights have no compassion
And the dreams that come aren't true.
A charade of lies unconscious
And so much left to be proved.
But the sun will rise and fall again
And the nights will start to shorten.
The memories will fade into darkness.
You can't let it go.
Bur your world is turned upside down.
It's a panic you can't release.
Once you have it, you just can't
Ever ignore it.
That's when you realize your best
Days are behind you.
And all you ever live for
Is regret.
You can't take it away. (You! )
When I'm lying in your bed
Play the motions through my head
You know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking
And I have reasons to believe
That I'm not the only one you spend this time with,
But I'll stay...
You say you're weak, you wont let me down, you wont let me down
You lied through your teeth
And you smile in your sleep, you smile in your sleep
When we met, you said we were the same
You know that were different, were different
And all those times you promised me
That everything would work out in the end,
You were gravely mistaken
You say you're weak, you wont let me down, you wont let me down
You lie through your teeth
You smile in your sleep, you smile in your sleep
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie through your teeth
You won't let me down
You lie, I deserve better than this
I dream of steel
Maroon and warm
Your end (your end)
Your end (your end)
You gasp for air
I'll see this through
I'll see through you
Your pale (your pale)
Your pale (your pale)
Your pale blue eyes
When your lying in your bed
Your eulogy's been read
Your know that it's fitting
'Cause you lied
You say you're weak, you wont let me down, you wont let me down
You lie through your teeth
You smile in your sleep, you smile in your sleep
You smile
You smile
You smile
You smile
It's so familiar to me;
A gun in your hand, a hole in my chest,
and now you strike a match and inhale.
It's now to the point where it's all so routine,
The anchor's up, your ship has been sailed.
Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions. I'm your sacrifice.
Dressing yourself up to kill;
You do this for peace, you do this for love,
but you know there has to be loss.
Lives torn apart as you've hit your mark.
You'll take your share at anyone's cost.
Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice.
The metal is cold to lift and to hold,
but now my heart feels the warm undertow.
I cannot breathe. The way I feel about you suffocates.
I will not speak. The words I feel about you go to waste.
I will lay here until my body washes up on shore.
I'll sacrifice with everything I believed in before.
I'll get back up and do it again.
Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Fragile leaves hit the ground.
The cold air drifts into my lungs.
I see your face through the fog.
Reminds me of the dreams you lost.
I can see it in your eyes.
You're broken down; your hands are tied.
I can feel it in my side.
Over and over and over I've tried.
I can see it in your eyes
You're broken down; your hands are tied.
And I know you cannot hide.
Over and over and over I've tried.
It broke my heart.
It felt so good to see you.
I've never been one to put my trust in.
When did I become so weak, or have I always been?
I can't put all this back in place.(Back in place)
I can see it in your eyes
You're broken down; your hands are tied.
I can feel it in my side.
Over and over and over I've tried.
I can see it in your eyes
You're broken down; your hands are tied.
And I know you cannot hide.
Over and over and over I've tried.
This gaping hole in my chest is filled with deceit.
I fear that all my cries fell upon deaf ears.
I caress flesh with severed nerves.
I go veiled in darkness and disease.
This November swallows me whole.
And this may be the closest thing that you'll ever receive to an apology.
I close my eyes and I can see you dead.
I close my eyes and I can see you dead.
I close my eyes and I can see you dead.
The drugs begin to peak, a smile of joy arrives in me
But sedation changes to panic and nausea
And breath starts to shorten, and heartbeats pound softer
You won't try to save me
You just want to hurt me
And leave me desperate
You taught my heart a sense I never knew I had
I can't forget the times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it? You're my heroine
You won't leave me alone
Chisel my heart out of stone
I give in every time
You taught my heart a sense I never knew I had
I can't forget the times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it? You're my heroine
I bet you laugh
At the thought of me thinking for myself
I bet you believe
That I'm better off with you than someone else
Your face arrives again, all hope I had becomes surreal
But under your covers, more torture than pleasure
And just past your lips there's more anger than laughter
Not now or forever will I ever change you
I know that to go on, I'll break you, my habit
You taught my heart a sense I never knew I had
I can't forget the times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it? You're my heroine
You crossed the line
You're running in circles
Now you lost your self control
You medicate
So you can fall asleep
Your mind just won't shut down
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you found your other self
Or are you still somebody else
There's so much bottled up inside
And if it's shaken up it's going to explode
You can't stop it, you just can't stop it
You say you're done
You swear you've gave it up
Running in circles, you don't even care that you're going nowhere
You hate yourself
I still wonder where you are
I wonder if the thorn still in your side
Or did you pull it out in time
And now it starts to overflow
And spill its guts and ruin someones soul
You can't stop it, you just can't stop it
You say you're done
You swear you've gave it up
Running in circles, you don't even care that you're going nowhere
You hate yourself
You crossed the line
You're running in circles
Now you lost your self control
You medicate
So you can fall asleep
Your mind just won't shut down
Lets go!
You are my disaster, I can't stop chasing after
You are my disaster, I can't stop chasing after
You are my disaster, I can't stop chasing after
You are my disaster, I can't stop chasing after
You crossed the line
You're running in circles
Now you lost your self control
You say you're done
You swear you've gave it up
Running in circles, you don't even care that you're going nowhere
You hate yourself
You're my disaster
I can't stop chasing you
You're my disaster
We live to kill each other
We are the wealthy and the poor
We shout but we don't listen
All we want is more
Shut the door
You're letting the darkness out
It's just about the time to watch you die
Close the blinds
We're hiding our skin from sun
Where you become yesterday's headlines
I never said that I was sorry
We live to kill each other
We are the wealthy and the poor
We shout but we don't listen
All we want is more
It will be beautiful
When I'm catching in the life I stole
With the perfect sound at the perfect time
All the single words I forged to line
It is safe to say to forget your name
When the song I wrote's on the stereo
I don't have to justify
Paying your dues is a waste of precious time
What would you leave when you could follow?
We live to kill each other
We are the wealthy and the poor
We shout but we don't listen
All we want is more
More than we deserve
Realize our potential
Maximize our return
We'll conserve
A portrait of everything perfect
And aim every house has heard
I'd take it all and leave you nothing
We live to kill each other
We are the wealthy and the poor
We shout but we don't listen
All we want is more
We live to kill each other
We are the wealthy and the poor
We shout but we don't listen
All we want is more
All we want is more
Forgive all my sins
I know I'll commit them
I know what will happen
When I trade reason for loss of control
A call to arms
With holes and scars
With healthy minds
We enlisted to war
You will see a shadow
Cast upon the light you know
There will be an angel weeping
Tears of blood that stain the earth below
You'll lose yourself
But you won't find any peace
You won't find any hope
You'll lose yourself
Is this where you belong?
You try to avoid it
You try to abstain
But it relentlessly
Takes its control
You must obey
You'll cower now
You've surpassed
Your threshold for pain
You will see a shadow
Cast upon the light you know
There will be an angel
Weeping tears of blood
That stain the earth below
You'll lose yourself
But you won't find any peace
You won't find any hope
You'll lose yourself
Is this where you be?
You are not the one who's trapped inside
You can make a difference
Look into your mind
Your memories are what defines
Who you really are
That's what makes you special, beautiful
You can still be loved
You are held in such a high regard
Your blood is contagious
Summoning desperation
Your mind is a blur, a chemical spill
You need to wipe it out
You must fight, you must fight
You must stand, you must stand
You must believe in yourself
You will see a shadow
Cast upon the light you know
There will be an angel
Weeping tears of blood
That stain the earth below
You'll lose yourself
But you won't find any peace
You won't find any hope
You'll lose yourself
Fighting tears, trembling voice straight to my ear
A moment I'll never forget
Someone I love, telling me someone I love
Had just been called to his reward
24, a leader a father adored.
We'll never be with him again
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Words can be the most beautiful or the most cold
I didn't know what to say
To a father who suddenly loses his son
I still think about that every day
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Break it down
Trace the steps moving to the gold town
Lost your past from me
Made the plans and backed out
Stayed at home and did nothing
But now I'm taking the 400 up north
The last time I'll ever see your face
I don't want to believe that this is it
I want to believe in something more
Growing up wasn't easy for this boy
Who only wanted to live and do what's right
I can't feel (I can't feel)
I can't feel my heart when I am myself
I can't feel (I can't feel)
I can't feel the pain when I hear my thoughts
I can't feel (I can't feel)
But it's taking you further, and further, away
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Break it down
Trace the steps moving to the gold town
Lost your past from me
From me (From me)
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
I've looked you right in the face
And I have told the worst lies
I've put my arms around you
And felt nothing at all
I've stolen tasteless bread
I've salted hundreds of cities, paint them red
I've taken a thousand miles and
I'll take a thousand more until you say
You can't bully me
You can't make me stay
You won't change
I hear your whispers calling me
I will turn away (turn away)
Just like a hunter you will prey
Prey on me
And the world will let you hang
I just made a pact with them
To always drop you where you land
I'll fight from my way and
I'll say that I've changed and
I'll try to convince you you should stay
Whatever your goal, I'll be here
Making sure you fail
You can't bully me
You can't make me stay
You won't change
I hear your whispers calling me
I will turn away (turn away)
Just like a hunter you will prey
Prey on me (prey on me, prey on me, prey)
These seven years have opened my eyes
But I don't want to live it all again (all again)
You!
You can't bully me
You can't make me stay
You'll never change
I hear your whispers calling me
I will turn away (I will turn away, turn away)
Just like a hunter you will prey
Prey on me
Unfaithful, I have been
Loyalty, I have none
No respect, no passion
Fight these eyes,
They're drawing you, inside.
Sign the name in marker,
Watch the clouds as they got darker.
Felt it start to slip away.
All the schemes were made and plotted,
All the rules have been forgotten now.
I made it by the skin of my teeth again this time.
I'm waiting,
Still waiting,
To get away and make a change,
Seasons last forever in this phase.
Forget your heart.
It's weighing you down inside,
As you confide your life to someone else.
Maybe we're scared to be alone,
We're not prepared to throw the stones,
And watch them drift out of our control.
I braced my body for the sudden impact,
That was more than I ever thought that it would be.
And when it knocked me over,
I've never felt more stiff than sober now.
I'm struggling to get up and run away.
I've wasted,
I've wasted my life away.
I've gotta change,
I've gotta burn the book and turn the page.
Forget your heart.
It's weighing you down inside,
As you confide your life to someone else.
Maybe we're scared to be alone,
We're not prepared to throw the stones,
And watch them drift out of our control.
There's no return,
To what you had when you started,
Before you lost control.
You will never recover.
Fight these eyes,
They're drawing you inside.
Lie down,
And break down,
You're dead.
Lie down before you lose control.
Lie down,
And break down,
You're Dead.
Lie down before you lose control.
Forget your heart.
It's weighing you down inside,
As you confide your life to someone else.
Maybe we're scared to be alone,
We're not prepared to throw the stones,
I will promise myself I won't care
Distracting myself from your stare
And I've seen this mistake once before
With your games I will never fall for.
I've hung up my guns,
I won't kill again.
I won't forget you,
I won't forget you,
I'm not gonna let you win..
(I'm not gonna)
But I'm tired of lying,
Tired of fighting you,
And it's not gonna change..
You asked for my heart,
You know that I'm down,
But not the way you lie to me..
And tear it all apart
And beg for me to stay.
I've sailed off to sea,
I'm not coming back.
I won't forget you,
I won't forget you,
I'm not gonna let you win..
(I'm not gonna)
But I'm tired of the lying,
Tired of fighting you,
And it's not gonna change..
Counting down
Make that sound
And you know it makes no sense..
Counting down
Till you mess around.
And I know you can't ever change,
When I'm trembling
Thrown overboard,
When I'm ready to relive the past..
Counting down
Make that sound.
Break the silence..
Pretend it's not forever,
I'll pull myself together,
I'll say that I'll forget her,
I'll breathe..
And I'll say she never hurt me
And look at it as learning
And laugh about the good and the bad..
Because I will live forever.
We don't belong together,
I know I'll feel better
One day when I can make it through.
I won't forget you,
I'm not gonna let you win..
(I'm not gonna)
But I'm tired of lying,
Tired of fighting you,
And it's not gonna change..
I won't forget you,
(Counting down)
I'm not gonna let you win,
(Counting down)
I'm tired of the lying,
Tired of fighting you,
In the lighthouse by the sea, at the 33rd degree.
You make me feel so special and free.
But there's something in the air turning stutters into stairs.
I look into your blue eyes and say...
(Darling) Don't throw it all away.
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me.
In the sun I look so pale, northern skin so thin and frail.
But I try to close my eyes, when everything starts fading.
When I wake up from this dream shivering under cold sheets.
Ten thousand mile away, I wish I was on King street.
(Darling) Don't throw it all away.
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me.
Newly risen how brightly you shine.
Something seems to give inside my heart when you're nearby.
All I've given to you is faking eyes.
I don't understand, I can't figure it out. I can't figure it.
On a park bench by the street, at the 43rd degree.
I'll sit and watch the snow fall and think...
If these walls could tell the tale and excuse to no avail.
Will you ever begin to forgive me again, to forgive me now.
(Darling) Don't throw it all away.
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me.
Stop pretending that you're better, you're as guilty as all the rest.
You're planning shelter from this division, a ruined cities aftermath.
Some people call it tragedy, I call it moving on.
I never asked for you to care, I never wanted the things you've got.
And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.
It's so pathetic you care so much, about what other people think.
Practice all your lies in the mirror, for every possible line you face.
So when you push me down the well, will you even call for help?
You'll tell everyone you know, you tried to rescue me yourself.
And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.
You disgust yourself, you believe in nothing.
You'll deny yourself, every happy ending.
It's in your head you'll discover. You're not as consequential as the rest.
In your hand you'll recover, a notice of the truth.
You! Failed! You failed me.
And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.
And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
blame it on the weather, but i'm a mess
and this february darkness has me hating everyone
and i know i need your comfort, but this drama makes me sick
and the longer i lay here, i know it's harder to get up
without you
[chorus]
lose another day here
lose another year here
i'm with you
Finally, something out there, that's making sense
and it's just another trend carefully hidden in your dress
and this cycles neverending, and this fashions overdone
and the further that i run away, the further i'll come back
to shelter...
[chorus]
lose another day here
lose another year here
i'm with you
you are the fire, on my apartment floor
sixteen stories, i'd rather burn then fall
and it isn't fate, that took us all by storm
it's just the turn of a card
[chorus]
lose another day here
lose another year here
i'm with you
you are the fire, on my apartment floor
sixteen stories, i'd rather burn then fall
and it isn't fate, that took us all by storm
it's just the turn of a card
goodbye old friend
goodbye goodnight
i'll move on
you'll call it fate, i'll call it karma
we had our time, it was fun
while it lasted
i'll look back, (look back)
with honor
and no regrets
i won't be mad, won't feel bad
these memories (these memories)
will never leave me
don't be sad
cause life goes on, life goes on
it's getting too late (too late)
The blood is rushing to my head
This room is spinning 'round the bed
A flashing image perforates
Tarnish this memory's embrace
A bursting fiery fortune to misshape
And if my body makes it out
Unscathed and safe from broken vows
A promise broken leaves me holding on
I just can't get a hold of
Why we always hurt the ones we love
Can burning hearts still keep us strong?
A crack has formed in the foundation
The floor is falling out from under me
A pleading loser makes his case
A liar shakes his head and breaks
A life of honor turns into his shame
And if my body makes it out
Unscathed and safe from broken vows
A promise broken leaves me holding on
I just can't get a hold of
Why we always hurt the ones we love
Can burning hearts still keep us strong?
It's all my fault
This eagle's flying down
Below where shadows fall
Now it's sinking in, that I'm sinking into this
Place I never thought I'd be
You can't trust me, I'm not worthy
You won't ever feel this way
This storm is moving over head
The wind is blowing back
We've been misled
And if my body makes it out
Unscathed and safe from broken vows
A promise broken leaves me holding on
I just can't get a hold of
Why we always hurt the ones we love
Once upon a time
Before the lakes and rivers were polluted
Before the animals were poached to extinction
And before the man had destroyed the earth's atmosphere
There was a great ship
This vessel was to venture into new waters
To find new resources, to make life easier and more enjoyable
It was a simple mission for the crew
Who were excited to be a part of this union
They pledged their allegiance to the captain
And vowed to be there no matter what
In sickness, health, and possible death
As time passed by, there was no new land to be found
As the days grew shorter
And the nights grew longer and colder
The crew became more and more sceptical about the captain's vision
Originally passionate and committed true and faithful
They now began to revolt
You crossed the line
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to stand for something
And everyone should take the lead
Follow your dreams
If you don't try, you fail !
As the mutiny started and the captain was overthrown and chained
He asked them why their minds had changed
There's no gold to be found, no treasure in the ground
We won't die for this
We won't die for you
You've lost your minds
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to stand for something
And even if they disagree
Follow your dreams
If you don't try, you fail !
This dream is now
A shipwreck in the sand
They gave up, they made all their demands
The storm consumed fifty seven souls
Who died in vain, as what they stole
This union, a battle fought and lost
This union is not about the cause
This union was never about love
This union, this union
This union, a battle fought and lost
This union is not about the cause
The union was never about love
This union, this union
This union, a battle fought and lost
This union was about about the cause
Burning down
We can't stop it
We gotta get out
Start again
The memories are gone forever
Don't try
To turn this around on me
I'm the one that saved you
This was my home
This was my life
It's not always just about you
And as I heard
The sirens begin to chime
I can feel my heart begin to race
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I threw you over my shoulder
With the angel
On my other
I'm not your hero
I'll never be
What you wanted
What you thought I would be
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes
My sickness controls me
Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)
Is the mother of deceit
(Is the mother of deceit)
And there you were
Six years old, ashes in your hair
You're not scared
You've seen so much pain in so few years
As the world
Becomes a place where no one wants to stay
We remain
Silent until it's too late
And as I see
The planes take over the sky
I can feel it coming to the end
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way (and you're burning)
I can see through my tired eyes (down my life so slowly)
My sickness controls me (I know in my heart)
Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)
Is the mother of deceit
