Wanting to breathe
Needing to see
Our struggles are unparalleled
Searching for an answer
We're looking to those who seem to be free
Cover it up to show the unlikely
Who could pull this off in reality?
In reality
We've had it made so far
Living off of our unanswered calls
We have grown up to be
People that we've never wanted seen
We've already been seen
The faces that you hide behind
Will only make us realize
That you can't see the problem
We've made out of ourselves
And now we only need
A second to rethink
Cause it's time to do more than just stare at the
ground
We've had it made so far
Living off of our unanswered calls
We have grown up to be
People that we've never wanted seen
We've already been seen
We're asking questions when answers can't be found
We've already been seen
It's time to do more than just stare at the ground
We've had it made so far
Living off of our unanswered calls
We have grown up to be
People that we've never wanted seen
Where do you go when you listen to nobody else but yourself?
Where do you go?
You're so far from the willing, you're in such a rush not to tell
So where do you go?
Oh, when getting in where your feet end doesn't get you one single thing
Where will you go?
When the secrets that you've been keeping get a hold of nothing
I oh, I'd like to know
Can I wish you away until you find your place in this world?
It's so hard to get a feel
And all you do is wait but then one little taste
So caught up inside to know what's real
But until you've had all you can take I'll wish you away
So where do you go when forgetting what you had in store for yourself?
Drags me along
Because you keep running in circles, you're blinded by everything
Just ask me if I know where to go, where to go
Can I wish you away until you find your place in this world?
It's so hard to get a feel
And all you do is wait but then one little taste
So caught up inside to know what's real
But until you've had all you can take
Oh, but until you've had all you can take can I wish you away?
Would you baby go backward
Can I wish you away?
Would you baby go backward
You say you'll be gone just another minute
You're too far, have to still be in it
Don't act like you're sleeping
When I can see you're wide awake
Can I wish you away until you find your place in this world?
It's so hard to get a feel
And all you do is wait but then one little taste
You're so caught up inside to know what's real
Can I wish you away until you find your place in this world?
It's so hard to get a feel
And all you do is wait but then one little taste
You're so caught up inside to know what's real
We're staring down constantly
With palms open and resting feet
Glancing up once and a while
To find some sense of reconcile
Open our eyes to see what's left
Looking for just one sign of breath
As soon as we think it's okay
We'll head our separate ways
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
There's knocking at our door
Slowly but surely I'm turning this around
But there is something that I haven't found
Sooner or later you will be finding out
Sitting there waiting isn't so safe and sound
Theres something that's been calling me
I feel that I'm still incomplete
Without knowing what I expect
There's no way that I can perfect
We hesitate with every breath
Just one step closer to our death
We're anxious just to take a glance
This could be our last chance
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
There's knocking at our door
Slowly but surely I'm turning this around
But there is something that I haven't found
Sooner or later you will be finding out
Sitting there waiting isn't so safe and sound
Sitting there waiting isn't so safe and sound
What are we waiting for?
There's knocking at our door
What are we waiting for?
There's knocking at our door
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
There's knocking at our door
What are we waiting for?
Sitting there waiting isn't so safe and sound
What are we waiting for?
Sooner or later isn't so safe and sound
Oh, what are we waiting for?
It's gonna get harder from here
We've gotta get smarter to make it out alive
'Cause you say stop and we say go
Don't wanna be your tenth caller on the radio
So don't bother cutting me off short tonight
We let our words speak for themselves
Don't take it all so far
Don't make it that much harder
Than it already is for you to stand alone
For you, for you, for you
To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
Sleep away the pain
Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay that price you thought you'd pay
You're got the choice, you've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain
Hold on tight to the things you're given
The camera caught it all
Aren't we all forgiven now?
'Cause you say stop and we say go
The world outside is calling on the telephone
They need answers so we'll let them know
Tonight, we let our words speak for themselves
But maybe I'm not right
We're so damaged by the sunlight
Can we make it through together
'Cause honey I don't like this kind of weather
When I'm with you
To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
Sleep away the pain
Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay the price you thought you'd pay
You're got the choice, you've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain
Just don't sleep away the pain
It's gonna get harder from here
We've gotta get smarter to get this all in line
'Cause you say stop and we say go, oh
To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
Sleep away the pain
Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay the price you thought you'd pay
You're got the choice, you've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain
Was running free, but now the road is fading
Can't believe it got to this degree
You turn your shoulder with the face you're making
'Cause sad attempt are what you gave to me
I hope it was a lie
No one can hear you
Not a thing you say
So you can do yourself a favor
And tell it to me straight
Capture movements in a box then keep 'em
Tucked away like they were history
Gun the crowd with a steaming pistol
Such a way to make some misery
I hope you get it right
No one can hear you
Not a thing you say
So you can do us all a favor
If you wanna plead your case
So brace yourself
And tell it to me
We're on the verge
Brace yourself, for some kind of redemption
Brace yourself, if you wanna be saved
Brace yourself, for some kind of redemption
Brace yourself, we're on the verge of a break!
So tell it to me straight
No one can hear you, straight
Not a thing you say
So you can do us all a favor
If you wanna plead your case
So brace yourself
Split decisions, fighting fixes
I test ride my memory
Tunnel vision, I give in and put
An end to make-shifting relief
This game has got me shaking hands
With my own enemies
I see faces, but none of them
Not one believes in me
And the end of the road
I'll hate to say I told you so
I don't need you to find resolve
Cause when it's said and done
Down to one
I'll hate to say I told you so
And as your promises dissolve
I'll get bragging rights
You'll realize that from day one
I always told you so
Go on living making killings
Off of all your broken dreams
I'll stay in within the out
And I bet you won't find one weak bone in me
It's been a long time coming but no need for sympathy
I made my mind, I'll spend my time
Just making you believe
And the end of the road
I'll hate to say I told you so
I don't need you to find resolve
Cause when it's said and done
Down to one
I'll hate to say I told you so
And as your promises dissolve
I'll get bragging rights
You'll realize that from day one
I always told you so
I know this doesn't sound like it's the best of me
But it feels so good to know what I've got
I found a remedy
Found me a fix for all these broken memories
Something to cure the sick and suffering
Cause I did what I wanted to
Rest assured, no more time to lose
I found a remedy
I don't need you to find resolve
Cause when it's said and done
Down to one
I'll hate to say I told you so
And as your promises dissolve (And as your promises dissolve)
I'll get bragging rights
You'll realize that from day one
I always told you so
Cause I did what I wanted to
I told you so
No more time to lose
I told you so
Never say you could if you couldn't
Never say you will if you won't come any closer
Then you already are
You already are
You don't need an army to solider on
Savor the dark and we'll turn the lights on brighter
Than ever before, than ever before
Are you over going under when
Everybody else is going higher
So much higher
So come up with me
So I'm taking a joyride
Going elsewhere I suppose
I'm taking a joyride
To somewhere I don't know
Let's take the high road
Let's take the high road
We can kiss the sky with flaming lips,
Deny ever sparking all these fires
All these fires
So burn up with me
Well I'm taking a joyride
Going elsewhere I suppose
I'm taking a joyride
To somewhere I don't know
Let's take the high road to where ever you are
Let's take the high road to where ever you are
And we could drive miles away
Miles away
Take me away
Miles away
(Never say you could if you couldn't
Never say you could if you couldn't)
Never say you could if you couldn't
Never say you will if you won't come any closer
Than you already are
You already are
Let's take a joyride
Going elsewhere I suppose
I'm taking a joyride
To somewhere I don't know
Let's take the high road (high road) to where ever you
Let's take the high road (high road) to where ever you
And we could drive miles away
I knew it wouldn't be so simple
To never count the things you had
You traded all your memories to
Appreciate it all without your mind just feeling
Without your mind just feeling
Without you mind just feeling trapped
I hope it's not the last
Don't take your chances
With circumstances
I know you're better than that
The thought of being so alone
Takes away from what you swore you couldn't know
I can't hear you speaking
I'm still not competing with you
With you
Oh, how I hope you don't
Take your chances
With circumstances
I know you're better than that (better than that)
I thought you would take advantage (whoa)
I know you're much better than that
Much better then that (whoa)
So keep your mind from feeling trapped
I hope it's not the last
Oh how I hope you don't take your chances
I know you're better than that (better than that)
Don't take your chances
With circumstances
I know you're better than that
So please don't take your chances
With circumstances
I know you're
I know you're
I know you're better than that
Much better than that
So keep your mind from feeling trapped
Much better then that
The cold night wasn't trouble enough for him
Another swallow never seemed like enough for him
They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
What goes around comes back around twice as fast
He's got no hope for a cure so he'll put himself to sleep, oh
Now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish come on and let me hear it, go on
Go ahead and tell your story
She always hoped for him to take her word for word
Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure
She's got her eyes on the time
But there's no use waiting there for him
But she's not in the world alone
But she wanted to put herself to sleep
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear it
Go on, go ahead and tell your stories, your stories, oh
Now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear it
Tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear
You got to speak, oh, and use up all the time you're given
Time, takes up back from going through motions
My daydreamer friends all fell victim to cold hard facts
It's so hard to be patient
When quicksand is traded for dust from the past
So, prove on, prove on, move on
The changing of times will blow over
Until then we'll run away, run away, run away
The minute hand stopped for a second
And we're waiting for the stopwatch affair
We're something special
We look so much the same
There's no difference between the subtle and tame
You can take me hand and we can take a break
Imagine a time where there's time left to take
Prove on, prove on, move on
The changing of times will blow over
Until then we'll run away, run away, run away
The minute hand stopped for a second
And we're waiting for the stopwatch affair
We hold our own
Hold our own
Where will we go when time left us no room to spare?
Now, the changing of times will blow over
Until then we'll run away, run away, run away
The minute hand stopped for a second
And we're waiting for the stopwatch affair
Stopwatch affair
The stopwatch affair, move on
I walk, you run, feel so outdone
You always wanted it to be one on one
I cuss, you're free, make me believe
That you've been innocent till proven guilty
So scrape my hands and knees
Softer now I bleed for your forgiveness
'Cause the world can't stand to witness
You keep tearing me down
Looks like I met my match today
Blame me in everything, make me a rival
But you still don't see that you're sore winner, a sore winner
Losing is not your thing, can't hold the title
But you still don't see that you're sore winner, a sore winner
I watch you feed, pick up your speed
It can't be saving if its already been won
I play for keeps but you don't listen
[Incomprehensible] I'm what you're missing
Missing out on forgiveness, competition
So scrape my hands and knees
Softer now I read your mind as interest
As were coming down to inches
You keep tearing me down
Looks like I met my match today
Blame me in everything, make me a rival
But you still don't see that you're sore winner, a sore winner
Losing is not your thing, can't hold the title
But you still don't see that you're sore winner, a sore winner
Blame me in everything, make me a rival
But you still don't see that you're sore winner, a sore winner
Losing is not your thing can't hold the title
But you still don't see that you're sore winner, a sore winner
Blame me in everything, make me a rival
Do you miss it like you said you would?
The mutual understanding
Did I meet any of those demands you made so out of this
world?
Should I listen when the winds blows?
Cause it's blowing in a new direction
I can't help but feel like I'm affected
Get me out of this small world
So let me go (let me go)
Somewhere
Where no one's ever been before
Light a fire (burning fire)
Let it get out of control
Let me go
Somewhere where everybody breaks the mold
Paint a picture
That's bigger than your small (your small)
Your small sad world
Your small sad world
Do you feel it like I thought you would?
I found you right where I left this
Never imagined your sideways preference would get so
out of this world
Do you see me through the looking glass?
Smiling at my reflection
Came up short with your thin affection
Get me out of your small sad world
So let me go (let me go)
Somewhere
Where no one's ever been before
Light a fire (burning fire)
Let it get out of control
Let me go
Somewhere where everybody breaks the mold
Paint a picture
That's bigger than your small (your small)
Your small sad world
Your small sad world
Yeah
Minutes (minutes)
Minutes (minutes)
Have been changing my mind
Seconds (seconds)
Seconds (seconds)
I could do without your precious time
Should I listen when the wind blows?
'Cause It's blowing in a new direction
Yeah, it's blowing in a new direction
And I'm going...
Yeah
So let me go (let me go)
Somewhere
Where no one's ever been before
Light a fire (burning fire)
Let it get out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Somewhere
Where no one's ever been before
Light a fire
In your small (your small)
Small sad world
So long
Slide on down
Identify with every single sound that cuts you at the core
Turn around, facing backwards
Just to hold off everything you have in store
Cause the road froze over on my way back home
It's a long October down here in the catacombs
Slip inside, slip inside
Ride the downward slope
Slip inside, slip inside
How far will you go?
Open fire, open fire
On everything you know
Cause I've been sleeping
In the barrel of your gun
Here I lie
Let your head fall on the curbside
And we can dodge cars all night
Cause I can only hope you stand corrected
When the time comes to make leaps and bounds
Right out of this town
Slip inside, slip inside
Ride the downward slope
Slip inside, slip inside
How far will you go?
Open fire, open fire
On everything you know
Cause I've been sleeping
In the barrel of your gun
I'm one step closer to the end, I know
And I'm sliding down, so here I go
Cause the road froze over on my way back home
It's a long October down here in the Catacombs
Slip inside, slip inside
Ride the downward slope
Slip inside, slip inside
How far will you go?
Open fire, open fire
On everything you know
Cause I've been sleeping
Cause I've been sleeping
I am a third world product of inflation
Some second handed information down
So, you can watch me burn
I am a good boy with some bad ideas
The only child of all your fears, now
These days are playing out like re-run episodes
Well, I'm done, done with the same old, same old.
Sick for something more than just the common code
Well, I'm done, done with the same old, same old.
So save, save, save me from the light.
(Save me from the light! )
I am a pure fuel for all your fires
The spitting image of your worst desires, now
Now, sit back to live and learn
Come on now and get it right
It's only a moment, so let's waste some time
Just come down
These days are playing out like re-run episodes
Well, I'm done, done with the same old, same old.
Sick for something more than just the common code
Well, I'm done, done with the same old, same old.
Save, save, save
Save, save, save!
I could be your meaning
I could shoulder all your blame
Point me to the ceiling
So I can spark the flame
These days are playing out like re-run episodes
Well, I'm done, done with the same old, same old
Sick for something more than just the common code
Well, I'm done, done with the same old, same old!
Kiss me goodbye as I dive into tomorrow for the better life
So save, save, save
Your initial reply hit me undercover
When I lost my head to it
It was out of its time, it was undiscovered
As I caught my breath again
You were running out of lies to keep me under
Afraid of your back hands
So to speak, you had me shaking at the knees
But I don't know the way out of this mess
No, I don't know the way out of this mess
And if you would've seen me at my best
Would it have changed anything at all?
Remember when...
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
The door was always open
But still not nearly enough to let me in
and my eyes are wide awake,
I can see you clearly, but you don't stand out one bit.
I was always loud enough just for you to hear me
You never caught the wind
Now watch me break
Breakdown this time, this time again
But I don't know the way out of this mess
No, I don't know the way out of this mess
And if you would've seen me at my best
Would it have changed anything at all?
Remember When...
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
(When times were better, when times were better than
this [x2])
And I'm still waiting for a sign
Or just a win-win situation
Can I hear it one more time?
Without the sound of devastation setting in
Your initial reply hit me undercover
When I lost my head to it
It was out of its time, it was undiscovered
When you let me in
Oh, won't you let me in?
Remember When...
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
Do you remember, remember when?
Do you remember, remember when?
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
(When times were better, when times were better than
The turns you had to take still keep you awake
Down come the walls, the walls where you once stood
From constant changes you have made
You'll keep inside 'til you have a say
We change as we get older
We're not to stay
The days we walked are over
Now we just drive away from everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
You turn the pages 'til you have no more plans
The only time you had to think of all the things involved
Came when you were least expecting
And now it's up to us to replace it
To tell us when ages have made a difference
'Cause changes tell just who we are
We change as we get older
We're not to stay
The days we walked are over
Now we just drive away from everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
You turn the pages
Now we're just miles away from all that we could be
You're counting days on the back of your hands
We turn the pages
Remember the days you've counted won't be forgotten
I hope you won't leave yourself out
When we turn the pages, pages, pages
When we turn the pages, pages, pages
Now we just drive away from everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
We turn the pages
Now we're just miles away from all that we could be
You're counting days on the back of your hands
I found a road
Were they color coded my pledge of allegiance
Cleared out my soul
Gave me the old ways to deal with my demons
See past the smoke
They cover scars just to shadow the weakness
Left all alone
I see only nothing for miles upon miles
I was chasing down the feeling
I get when I touch the sky
Dancing thru the changes on until the morning light
Now it's you and I
Going nowhere, nowhere tonight
It's always cloudy
'Cause I'm burning tires to break thru the ceiling
Fill in the blank
'Cause I'm saying nothing
Nothing you would want to miss
Hope to win over all the promises
Lock away our confidence
They say forever, forever
Whatever
I was chasing down the feeling
I get when I touch the sky
Dancing thru the changes on until the morning light
Now it's you and I
Going nowhere, nowhere tonight
We're going separate ways on nowhere boulevard
We're going separate ways on nowhere boulevard
There's no more time to make on nowhere boulevard
We waste away our days on nowhere boulevard
Chasing down the feeling
I get when I touch the sky
Dancing thru the changes on until the morning light
Dried up in the desert
Clip my wings and stop my flight
Now it's you and I
Going nowhere, nowhere tonight
We're going separate ways on nowhere boulevard
You've got to know by now that stepping in and out won't bring you down
Or do you make it definite?
(Or do you make it definite?)
06.15, sacrifice your rest
I thought you said you're different
From those who believe in me
They believe (in Universities)
Oh, not another mind made up for doing nothing more than all you see
They've got no more room to breathe
Until we just get them to
Say, we'll make them say that we've been down and out all day
If your education brings you home
Why are you still away?
So give it up if you're not still trying to
Call it up in your four time windowed room
I've got the feeling that you're not
Using up all of your best bets on plans that you still don't have set
From those who believe in it
They believe until we just get them to
Say, we'll make them say that we've been down and out all day
If your education brings you home
Why are you still away?
See, we'll make them see that we've got no more room to breathe
If your education brings you home
Why are you still away?
I gave it all the thoughts you said you needed
But the minutes got repeated for too long (far too long)
Can you save us all from the thoughts you said you needed
But I feel like I've competed for too long (far too long)
We've got no more room to breathe
Until we just get them to see
We've got no more room to breathe
Until we just get them to...
Say, we'll make them say that we've been down and out all day
If your education brings you home
Why are you still away?
See, we'll make them see that we've got no more room to breathe
If your education brings you home
Something wrong with me
I'm not getting along with me
My eyes pasted on the ceiling
I can't get my mind to stop working
I knew all the blackest blues
You were all my favourite tunes
This was all I had to lose
Tried out for size
To my surprise, I can't fit in anybody's arms
No more diguise 'cause I realised
I can't fit in anybody's heart
Oh you, oh you
You left just in time
Should've known to turn
Get ahead of the curve but I've learned
The failure sounds all to familiar to me
To just get my mind to stop working
I knew all the blackest blues
You were all my favourite tunes
This was all I had to lose
Tried out for size
To my surprise, I can't fit in anybody's arms
No more diguise 'cause I realised
I can't fit in anybody's heart
Oh you, oh you
You left just in time
As the light darkens again
I lose myself within 'cause in the end
Still I'm reminded
Still I'm reminded
Tried out for size
To my surprise, I can't fit in anybody's arms
No more diguise 'cause I realised
I can't fit in anybody's heart
Oh you, oh you
'd be changing if I were you
(Get a hold of yourself)
Why don't you
(Get a hold of yourself)
Dollar under pillow to steal your tooth
(Share a bit of the wealth)
I know you
(Get a hold of yourself)
There you go,
Pulling favors, pulling favors like you would
Best of luck,
Cross your fingers, cross your fingers like you should
Yeah, I've read through all your lines
Yeah, I'm watching from a distance
Your life like pantomime
Get what you take, take what you get
(Get a hold of yourself)
Why don't you
(Get a hold of yourself)
Wonder what's next, sink or swim?
Was it something I did?
Or were you gone from the beginning?
Changing faces, switching places from the start?
Are you done giving in?
To every role that you've been playing
Cold afternoon, I sleep in some
Back of the room, avoid the sun
You turn of the light and I lost a long
You called it a night
You had me won
Who told you to leave me all alone?
Leave me in the dark?
Leave me in the cold?
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to know?
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face, my blood shot eyes
So who won the war deep down inside?
I can't decide, I can't decide
Only the dark can feel my touch
No kind of remark could burn this much
'Cause I'm as cold as December
And I won't surrender
Until you give me back my life
Who told you to leave me all alone?
Leave me in the dark?
Leave me in the cold?
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to know?
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face, my blood shot eyes
So who won the war deep down inside?
I can't decide, I can't decide
I can't see the sun in the morning
Please send me a warning
Before I go through this again
All out of luck
All out of time
Who would've thought I'd lose my mind?
No, I can't decide
I can't decide
Who told you to leave me all alone?
Leave me in the dark?
Leave me in the cold?
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to know?
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face, my blood shot eyes
So who won the war deep down inside?
I can't decide, I can't decide
No need to explain cause I know your story
You're making the claims to have the guts and glory
You're sad, sad, sadly mistaken
You're steady mistakes give me a bloody rush
We burn at the stake, why you keep bashing your love?
You're sad, sad, sadly mistaken
So let me make you familiar
You say you're going up, I beg to differ
I think you're going straight on down, down, down
In a hell of gunfire
I'm a hunt, hunt for your chemicals
I've got the lust, lust for the criminal in you
Just trust me, cause I'll be honest
You think you got it all but I think you lost it
You're a fake or a fraud
But you're a better one naturally
Remove out the sound of every single footstep
You're laying it down as you sing yourself away,
Your sad little songs tonight
So let me make you familiar
You say you're going up, I beg to differ
I think you're going straight on down, down, down
In a hell of gunfire
I'm a hunt, hunt for your chemicals
I've got the lust, lust for the criminal in you
Just trust me, cause I'll be honest
You think you got it all but I think you lost it
You're a fake or a fraud
But you're a better one naturally, naturally
So watch you're saying
Who you're playing
Cause I'm about to make you tame
I'm a hunt, hunt for your chemicals
I've got the lust, lust for the criminal in you
Just trust me, cause I'll be honest
You think you got it all but I think you lost it
You're a fake or a fraud
But you're a better one naturally
You're a fake or a fraud
I don't need your sense of compromise
Shake you up and put you right back down to size
(Yeah, yeah) One by one
(Yeah, yeah) One by one
What them fall
What them fall
What them fall
Now I'm picking up the pieces
I can see your picture on the wall
Stare it down to make you know it's all your fault
(Yeah, yeah) One by one
(Yeah, yeah) One by one
What them fall
What them fall
What them fall
Now I'm picking up the pieces to it all
I would claim you onlt for one night
Feed you dust and put you right back down to size
Get it!
Get it!
Yeah, what them fall
What them fall
What them fall
I'd hate to break it to you now
But that reoccurring sound
In your ear makes it perfect
Was it clear, my whole purpose?
I'm just fine with or without
Having this inner selfish doubt
I'll fall hard, you'll fall harder
I'm along, you're too startled
Break a sweat, desperate lover
Do you feel all alone?
I fell asleep on your death bed
In a hole in your headrest
I'm facing truths so unfamiliar
I just close my eyes
And fall asleep on your deathbed
Can we be resurrected?
I'm facing truths so unfamiliar
I'm your saint, will you be my savior?
I always hoped to bring this down
Words exchanging all around
You spoke quick, I spoke faster
Take your pick, take mine after
But the time went ticking
And hearts went missing
It's not what I waited on
Break a sweat, desperate lover
Do you feel all alone?
I fell asleep on your death bed
In a hole in your headrest
I'm facing truths so unfamiliar
I just close my eyes
And fall asleep on your deathbed
Can we be resurrected?
I'm facing truths so unfamiliar
I'm your saint, will you be my savior?
Will you be my savior?
We both agreed that this was best
But I can't risk to lose my rest
I closed my eyes now you're well on your way
I bend and fold at your request
Now it's my time to take a step
I closed my eyes now you're well on your way
I fell asleep on your death bed
In hole in your headrest
I'm facing truths so unfamiliar
I just close my eyes
And fall asleep on your deathbed
Can we be resurrected?
I'm facing truths so unfamiliar
I saw just what it does
When it's too hard for you to face it
Still pushing you to make it
It's been no new news to me
'Cuz it's all been done before
Four years and we're still counting down
Until all your precious time is wasted
It's been nothing new to me, to me, to me
We still haven't grown accustomed to the sound
As they all begin to drown you out
It's all been done before
When your deadlines become my days and nights
I'll take all your favorite lines
When you needed it the most
As your deadlines end tonight
And you were startled by the fact
That you c-c-could've had it better off by now
It's not over until the quiet hour come down
Oh yes, maybe it's too plain to stand on solid ground
It got old but you can't blame it all on me, on me, on me
We still haven't grown accustomed to the sound
As they all begin to drown you out
It's all been done before
When your deadlines become my days and nights
I'll take all your favorite lines
When you needed it the most
Please, don't give up on
When your deadlines become my days and nights
I'll take all your favorite lines
When you needed it the most
As your deadlines end tonight
I saw just what it does
When it's too hard for you to face it
Still pushing you to make it
It's been nothing new to me, to me, to me
We still haven't grown accustomed to the sound
As they all begin to drown you out
It's all been done before
When your deadlines become my days and nights
I'll take all your favorite lines
When you needed it the most
As your deadlines end tonight
As your deadlines end tonight
All your favorite lines
When you needed it the most
You're too busy laying passed out on the floor, on the floor
Sitting pretty, had it mapped out from before, from before hand
Are you feeling the pressure from cigarette burns
You're learning your lesson from taking your turns
Fall away
Fall away
I could run for days, days in your circle of lies
Spin me around, round your head with your goodbyes
Come to pass, pass me by!
In the city where you've got nowhere left to run, left to run
You can hop the fences, but you better not jump the gun, jump the gun
I could run for days, days in your circle of lies
Spin me around, round your head with your goodbyes
Come to pass, pass me by!
Baby let's call it quits while we're both ahead of time, time
Playing with consequence, didn't you read between the lines, the lines?
Fall away
Fall away
'Cause I could run for days, days in your circle of lies
Spin me around, round your head with your goodbyes
Come to pass, pass me by!
Come to pass, pass me by.
I could run for days, I could run for days
Come to pass, pass me by.
I could run for days, I could run for days
Come to pass, pass me by.
I could run for days, I could run for days
Come to pass, pass me by.
Days in your circle of lies
It's 3 in the morning and I'm still not sleeping
'Cause I'm finally running your race
The mountains you've been climbing seem like they have steepened
Since I decided to pick up the pace
If the whole world told me I should disappear
Could I fall right next to you?
Just let me burn the night away
Oh, baby let me burn the night away
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake
So don't look back, the hourglass is runnin' empty
You've got me buried with your every move
Your fine lines have me at a loss of memory
I'm right beside you in an empty room
If the whole world told me I should disappear
Could I fall right next to you?
Just let me burn the night away
Oh, baby let me burn the night away
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
And it's so hard to catch your feelings
When you always run away
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake
You're making it hard for me to just start
Over like we're new
Oh, the whole world told me I should disappear
'Cause I'm falling in love with you
Just let me burn the night away
Oh, baby let burn the night away
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
And it's so hard to catch your feelings
When you always run away
You keep me wide awake
I felt a hand warming deep around her
And it always makes me wonder was it you?
I met somebody else, brushing off in laughter
It felt an awful lot like it was you
Was it you who caught my attention?
Was it you who showed me I'll face anywhere but here?
I'd like to see you go
I see BLU underwater next to you
The Seven seas don't have a clue of where to hide someone like you
I see BLU underwater next to you
Every wave brings me bad news, oooh oh
I'm off the deep end, it holds me so much closer
I'm drowning in a cloud like no one knew
Was it you who caught my attention?
Was it you who showed me I'll face anywhere but here?
I'd like to see you go
I see BLU underwater next to you
The Seven seas don't have a clue of where to hide someone like you
I see BLU underwater next to you
Every wave brings me bad news, news
I'm scaling half the ocean, burying your name,
But I found the seas all frozen after coming all this way
I See BLU underwater next to you
The Seven seas don't have a clue of where to hide someone like you
I See BLU underwater next to you
The Seven seas don't have a clue of where to hide someone like you
I See BLU underwater next to you
Your game, your lovely game
Is like pain and suffering
Your fame, your newly found fame
Is like repeating history
You now that keeping me around
Makes me just quiver at the sounds
Wish I could feed their open mouths
With something worth it
Where is your backbone?
'Cause you're looking very flimsy
I'm breaking down your paper wall
Where is your backbone?
If you hear it sing it with me
Everybody take the fall
You look so sound asleep
I can't believe that your backbone's missing
And you never had a clue at all
Believe, no I can't believe
How little all this means to me
You'll see, you'll just have to see
For yourself the playback is deafening
Keeping me around
Makes me just quiver at the sounds
Wish I could feed their open mouths
With something worth it
Where is your backbone?
'Cause you're looking very flimsy
I'm breaking down your paper wall
Where is your backbone?
If you hear it sing it with me
Everybody take the fall
You look so sound asleep
I can't believe that your backbone's missing
And you never had a clue at all
You never had a clue at all
You could've been something
You could've been something memorable
I should've said something, I should've said
Where is your backbone?
'Cause you're looking very flimsy
I'm breaking down your paper wall
Where is your backbone?
If you hear it sing it with me
Everybody take the fall
You look so sound asleep
I can't believe that your backbone's missing
And you never had a clue at all
You look so sound asleep
I can't believe that your backbone's missing
You try to move on but still you're perfecting failure
There's always something in your way
Was it the guilt in you that pushed me to improve?
I know you've always had the choice to hear
You gave it all up when you broke the thought
Of keeping away the things you bought
When you took common sense so serious
This time around you're coming closer
You're never coming back until you know it's over
Won't you take it away from me?
Just take it all 'cause you never know
You're leaving until it's over
And it's not that it's too hard to try to turn your eyes
And drive the pain away
It's how much easier it is to let it stay
Once again it's on the tip of my tongue
Don't you wish it was done?
I'm afraid we're only at the start
You knew that this is how things are, oh yeah
This time around you're coming closer
You're never coming back until you know it's over
Won't you take it away from me?
Just take it all 'cause you never know
You're leaving until it's over
There's always something in your way
There's always something in your way
There's always something in your way
This time around you're closer to me
And now you're coming back to the fact that it's all over
Won't you take it away from me?
Just take it all 'cause you never know
You keep calling it a crash and burn
Just waiting your turn
You might have time to speak
There barely was a lesson learned
'Cause it will return no favors back to me
I'm sure it tasted oh, so sweet
But it was never good enough for me
I bit the tongue behind my teeth
It was never good enough for me
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
I thought you'd promise me the world
Tell me what you're after
Go on and take it way too far
'Cause here we are waiting once again
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after, just a little faster
Am I the only eyes that see so subtly
This cut and dry routine
Even when you're by my side
I still need time to feel the company
I'm sure it tasted oh, so sweet
But it was never good enough for me
I bit the tongue behind my teeth
It was never good enough for me
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
I thought you'd promise me the world
Tell me what you're after
Go on and take it way too far
'Cause here we are waiting once again
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after, just a little faster
Just a little faster
Hold your breath now, the bad was wearing thin
From the pavements settles in when we learn too much too soon
Hold your breath now, the bad was wearing thin
From the pavements settles in when we learn too much too soon
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
I thought you'd promise me the world
Tell me what you're after
Go on and take it way too far
'Cause here we are waiting once again
You say you always keep your word
Show me what you're after
It was never good enough for me
Out of touch with yourself as the lies keep building on your shelf
You can see the reflection of the things you do in me
Out of way for you to tell them to give me the time of day
And still you live for free making disbelief
Of the fortune in my name
Did it feel just like it should?
When you pushed us all away
Just to make sure your okay
Your honesty turned to a lie
When we became your 9 to 5
Out of sight for you to live and learn
You've got me thinking you're still sound asleep
Your best in written words, now they're down for all to see
Now you're way too tongue-in-cheek
to make the rest of them believe
Even the blind can see what you do to me
And the fortune in my name
Well, did it feel just like it should?
When you pushed us all away
Just to make sure your okay
Your honesty turned to a lie
When we became your 9 to 5
I won't go out of my way
To hear what you've got to say
We must be doing something right
When we became your 9 to 5
Did it do all the things that you thought it would do?
We're singing we're still alive
Will it do all the things that you thought it would do?
We're singing we're still alive
When you pushed us all away
Just to make sure your okay
Your honesty turned to a lie
When we became your 9 to 5
I won't go out of my way
To hear what you've got to say
We must be doing something right
Well, I was hoping I could crash the course you made out of imagination
Feel it? Do you feel it?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by.
If pleasure is the ultimate weapon
Then what's to say about all the pain?
With passion like a school in session
You better think up something clever to say
You look desperate
Befriending the "cool kids"
Cause how long will the popular take?
The tension's building up like a fever
You got to wonder when the hell it'll break
Well, I was hoping I could crash the course you made out of imagination
Feel it? Do you feel it?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by this time
If it's too early to find out how it works out for you
You might as well be showing up late
If it's you who's dishing out all the hot pursuit
I hope you're plannin' on having to wait
Cause all I wanna do is put a price on you
Count you like a number then continue
To do what I must, do what I must to get paid
Well, I was hoping I could crash the course you made out of imagination
Feel it? Do you feel it?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by this time
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by
It's been lonely here lately
Here on the other side
When you're on the other side
So what's it like to be you?
So one of a kind
So, what it's like to be you on the other side?
Well, I'm still hoping I could crash the course you made out of imagination
Feel it? Do you feel it?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by
Cause I was broken till I put you back together from imagination
Hear me? Can you hear me?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by this time
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by this time
I don't wanna get by, get by, get by
It's been lonely here lately
