As. You. You look at the life you're living and you fall down and CRY
And you look at the cards you're given and you don't, don't know WHY
GET UP, STAND UP, and tell them to their face
I look at the life I'm living now, and I make NO MISTAKES
Confidence beyond compare
And I'm not scared
I've come prepared
In the end
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Without a doubt
No matter how hard you TRY to justiFY
Just how the LAWS of NATURE APPLY
You'll be given LIFE ON A PLATE, but still I cannot RELATE
If I was you, I'd RATHER JUST DIE
Well, as you look at the life you're living and you fall down and cry and
You look at the cards you're given and you don't know why
You try to get up, stand up, and tell them to their face
I look at the life I'm living now, and I make no mistakes
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Without a doubt
Yeah, a prisoner in my skin
Yeah, I'm never fitting in
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Am I still breathing?
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt
Is life worth living?
Am I still breathing?
When opened up
This world to me
I felt you lied
Completely...
With open arms
Without a voice
What is freewill
Without a choice
Turn me upside down
To see what stays and falls out
Spin me back around
When I say go
Turn me upside down
To see what stays and falls out
Spin me back around
You asked for love
So, I gave you mine
Still I cry
Inside...
It seems to me
If you use your voice
We're all given
A different choice
Turn me upside down
To see what stays and falls out
Spin me back around
When I say go
Turn me upside down
To see what stays and falls out
Spin me back around
When I say go...
Go (repeated)
When I say go...
Go (repeated)
And still I try
To sleep at night
It hurts sometimes
Inside
I need a change in the worst way ever
I need a change in the worst way ever
Tell em like it is
Tell em how it should have been
Tell em like it is
Tell em how it should have been
Turn me upside down
To see what stays and falls out
Spin me back around
When I say go
Turn me upside down
To see what stays and falls out
Seems like you never knew
Your spirit saved the day
I'm stranded on my own
You cut short your life today
Did you long for the solution
On the weight that took you down
Like an anvil 'round your ankle
From every rooftop in our town
I'll sing
"I know you're up there looking out for me,
time has determined who we're gonna be
and I wish you could step from the fear
and paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge."
As brothers we bled
He'd always hang near the doorway
Room 10 where art class was
Making plans for his bright future
Impressing me didn't take much
when school was over we went our own separate ways
But not far enough to break our bond
what could've happened in the time between
that made him cross the line so he could move on
If you're listening
"I know you're up there looking out for me,
time has determined who we're gonna be
and I wish you could step from the fear
and paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge."
Something tells me
You knew it
I'd be stuck with no help to get through it
I wonder if you'd hate what has become of me?
I just try to imagine what you'd say
So I'll take my hundredth look
(I'll take my hundredth look)
At the words you scribbled in my yearbook.
"I know you're up there looking out for me,
(hums)..who were gonna be
and I wish you could step from the fear
Wait, checking out the problem at hand
Is it time again?
Before the problem even began
And lend a helping hand
Against my intuition
And listen to me very carefully
It isn't a condition we learned
But we're given naturally
Defiant, don't buy it
A client of the system
And so they say, to get your way
Just stop and make em listen
Because
Destiny will be yours, and yours alone
I don't want to know the taste
When I throw a dog a bone
So, when I throw it up
I'll take it right back, and eat again
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to you
Another sad sight
Walking the night
With a face like a gent
And the strut of a knife
Gimme life, is what he said
When the question was asked
In the past, he might have thought
The words he spoke were his last
So, when I throw it up
I'll take it right back, and eat again
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to you
You've taught me vanity's appeal
I lied...
You've showed me exactly how to feel
It's all lies...
What your looking for is real
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
A spawning, discovery
I'm quietly sitting here losing my head
On empty, still thriving by and by
I decided to lose it instead
We've all been programmed from the start
It's time we've, reconciled before we, fall apart
I wished you, good fortune (Don't let them bring you down)
But now I've got to get out of this place
I thanked you, extortion (Don't let them find you out)
You take the appearance right out of my face
A polished, new armor
A shield protecting me only from my own head
Accomplished, new author
Written lies from the start, can you predict the end
We've all been programmed from the start
It's time we've, reconciled before we, fall apart
I wished you, good fortune (Don't let them bring you down)
But now I've got to get out of this place
I thanked you, extortion (Don't let them find you out)
You take the appearance right out of my face
I left you, complacent (Don't let them bring you down)
I'm better off lonely, but still in good health
I loved you, replacement' (Don't let them find you out...)
And I am God on empty plains
Lost lustfully so, close your eyes, you won't feel the same!
I wished you, good fortune (Don't let them bring you down)
But now I've got to get out of this place
I thanked you, extortion (Don't let them find you out)
You take the appearance right out of my face
I left you, complacent (Don't let them bring you down)
I'm better off lonely, but still in good health
I loved you, replacement (Don't let them find you out)
Why talk to you' I could just talk to myself
Well, I could just talk to myself
Dependence constitutes
A lifetime history of substance abuse
And so that contributes to the fact
That life is to be continued
So, here I am
Say goodbye my friend
And all this time I find that I'm still misdirected
Alive again
Say hello, my friend
And I'll find in time
This life's to be use as directed
Use as directed, use as directed
It's easy to blame me
It's been told that misery loves company
So, hear me seriously
It's lovely I could drown here in your apathy
So, here I am
Say goodbye my friend
And all this time I find that I'm still misdirected
Alive again
Say hello, my friend
And I'll find in time
This life's to be use as directed
Use as directed, use as directed
Alive again
Say hello, my friend
And I'll find the time
It's nice to be use as directed
And I'm still tryin to figure it out
And I'm still tryin to find my way out
And I'm still tryin to figure it out
Day by day, day by day
It's the way you forget
All the time that we spent
Waiting patiently
But times all that you get
So, here I am
Say goodbye my friend
And all this time I find that I'm still misdirected
Alive again
Say hello, my friend
And I'll find in time
This life's to be
[Verse 1:]
From the point maturity
We have grown, it sets me free
And we lie awake in bed
Wondering when, unsure instead
[Break:]
And I find
A force inside of me
Still standing proud
Another face in the crowd
[Chorus:]
And we've turned out
Just like they thought we would
And we've found out
To keep living it like we should
In time, we find
That bad presides in good
It all comes down
But we did it the best we could
[Verse 2:]
Watch the world it passes by
But it's alright, I still get high
And we try to understand
Close your eyes, and dream instead
[Break]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Watch the world it passes by
But it's alright
I still get high... High
[Break:]
And I find
A force inside of me
Still standing proud
Another face in the crowd
I'm slowly changing now
Another face in the crowd
I'm lost, I've been found
Another face in the crowd (Let's Go)
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Hey now, should I get up and run away
Somehow, I'll make it through another day
It's not too late to start my life, again
I hate how you think we could drift apart
Somehow, you lost your way into my heart
And I know my life won't be the same again, same again
Could you just
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Ohh..
Just step back
If I decide to runaway will I ever know I should have stayed?
Is it too late to start my life again?
Hey now, if people see us drift apart
Who knows where to end and how it starts
I know my life won't be the same again, same again
Could you just
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Oh..
Woah oh, Woah oh
Isn't it like you to turn your back on everything we had
Woah oh, woah oh
There is no void in reasoning
Woah..
Isn't it like you to turn your back on everything we had
Woah oh, oh
There is no void in reasoning
Reasoning
Could you just
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but..
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but I'm too old cry
Tell me, tell me..
Woah oh, Woah oh
Isn't it like you, isn't it like you
To not like me, to not like me, to not like me, to not like me!
You think you know something about me everything about me's different now
It's raining mascara
And I'm swimming in sensibility
She wears it so well
'Cause to her it's living dangerously
She'll never know
She had one foot in
But she's killing herself just to say
"I'll take my chances."
Me sled by the madness
I know she'll destruct if she stays
My poor thrift store drop out
Gutter punk circle
We've got no place else to go
She doesn't fit in
But by her looks you'd never know
Should I let her know?
She had one foot in
But shes killing herself just to say
"I'll take my chances."
Me sled by the madness
I know shell destruct if she stays
Step up or cop out
I made the best..
No I made it up
So now am I obsessed
Here as I wait in line for a taste of rejection?
We are a fantasy
Now shes right in front of me
I look in her eyes said I'd better stay out of her way
Despite all the chances I back down with nothing to say
She had one foot in
But shes killing herself just to say
"I'll take my chances."
Me sled by the madness
I know shell destruct if she stays
here i am, once again, i'm the liquid stranger inside your head, dead,
are the ment when the liquids fed, all up in the sun, sun,
when life has just begun, and now were living it for the world to keep on having fun.
i have stayed away from the LSD for way too long to realize
that shits isn't good for me. posing this pose and walking this walk with a mug,
giving it up, this is my anthem to drugs.
be kind now walking alone
be kind to my motherfuckin microphone
be kind now walking those streets
be kind to all of the pretty people that you meet.
dank are the nuggets that we smoke for free
dank as we lie in the ecstasy
dank as we thirst for the mushroom tea
diggity-dank with the nugget at the party
now i am what i am nothing changing the world in which we live in,
trying to find the pride i find inside my head, were living it up again,
for looking at the world and then we correspond to comprehend, living it up,
giving it up, trying to find the ones who drinking from the cup,
shut the fuck up i said to you, tell mem what you want to do,
the LSD will make all of your dreams come true.
be kind now walking alone
be kind to my motherfuckin microphone
be kind now walking those streets
be kind to all of the pretty people that you meet.
dank are the nuggets that we smoke for free
dank as we lie in the ecstasy
dank as we thirst for the mushroom tea
1, 2, 3, 4
Sold your system for a ticket
To a concert a year away
Nothing beat the thrill of a rock show
But now it's so cliche
There was 1 band for everyone
You'd never leave until its done
Defend your right to escape for the night
Where the hell is rock and roll
Happy times and letting go?
I miss the songs that take me far away
Where is good old rock and roll?
We lived fast grew up slow
I need the songs that take me far away
Where are they?
'Cause back in the day
The world had anthems
With something to say
If I could go back, back, back in time
I'd watch The Who lead the way
'Cause back then there was no net
The front of the stage was as close as you could get
Now theres all access for everyone
The damage is done
Where the hell is rock and roll
Happy times and letting go?
I miss the songs that take me far away
Where is good old rock and roll?
We lived fast grew up slow
I need the songs that take me far away, far away
It doesn't matter you wanna die
For tonight we sing it
Your dead end job has sucked you dry
But tonight we sing it
Tonight we sing as 1
1, 1, 1
Where the hell is rock and roll
Happy times and letting go?
I miss the songs that take me far away
Where is good old rock and roll?
We lived fast grew up slow
I need the songs that take me far away
Back then things weren't innocent
When big hair bright lights
And cigarettes ruled the world
[Verse 1:]
Looking around, kicking them down, I'm diseased by the sounds
I look, to cross, the street and I'm down
Blown, out of the air, out of the sky
Out of the world I used to know, and I die
Living this life with love, is so beautiful
Getting to give, and giving it up and acting dutiful
I look out not now just to see a way, oh lord I'm back from yesterday
[Chorus:]
And I fade away
I'm going to, the place where I lay, unconscious day
And I see a way
Spanning the time I've lost, you're calling me, back from yesterday
[Verse 2:]
Well don't look now, death apparently found
Super personification as we rise to higher ground
The only chance he's got for survival, cutting across, and bringing it back,
With the revival
So reaching it up now to the skies where I preside
To the consequential, key, to the world and then we die
Yes I wrote it in stone I looked away, oh lord I'm back from yesterday
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Emphasize again, the contraband of a world unable
Look it's unstable, fucked, like Kane and Able
And I look out now with undying youth, oh lord I'm back forever you
gone tomorrow, back from yesterday
but in my head, i pretend, then i look away
i've gone, far too long, wishing somethings
were just right from wrong, i seemingly,
understand what life's made of
and i follow the ways, and fury tries to stay
of a world reciting in the days,
i conquered the other man
and i'm just the same, so pure and simple again,
look the other way, love, tomorrow will lift you above
i've lived, i loved you, wasting tomorrow
trying to make it now, just trying to make it now
we've all said loves been, thrown in the ages,
lying naked now, i'm lying on the ground
and i'm with you, back from yesterday,
but in my head, i descend, and then i look away
its all plain and pure, just like before
just a matter of time, your life completing mine
and your finding the same, yes the shame you left behind,
have an open mind, swallow your selfish pride
so beat it from me, and now you're finally free,
turn your back and run, love,
tomorrow will lift you above
i've lived, i loved you, wasting tomorrow
trying to make it now, just trying to make it now
we've all said loves been, thrown in the ages,
lying naked now, i'm lying on the ground
hold me now
cus i'm not so proud
i've followed you for way too long somehow
hate me now
i've been here for too long
i've swallowed all my pride and now i'm gone
i've lived, i loved you, wasting tomorrow
trying to make it now, just trying to make it now
we've all said loves been, thrown in the ages,
Raise your middle finger high
Your eyebrow earring looks real fly
Hahahahahahahaha
(That was raw)
Did you make us shut yourself (?)
It sucks
And smoking is bad for your health
Please admire my first shot
When I make the entrance
Smile and Nod
Shelter the sound
It's not safe for you
It's all around
All that I feel and wanted
It's not a question a matter of time
Breath, let go, slow decay
Here they come...
Ready to take you away
It's all in the way the waves crash down
And I'm getting older
It's all in the way your head stays firm
And I am your shoulders
Pass me around
I have faith in you
Til I have found
All that I need from wanted
Here they come...
Ready to take you away
It's all in the way the waves crash down
And I'm getting older
It's all in the way your head stays firm
And I am your shoulders
Slow are we
Ready to take you under
Here is the "I" in "me"
As the world passes me
As the world passes me...
Slow decay
Here they come...
Ready to take you
Ready to take you
Ready to take you away
And it goes...
It's all in the way the waves crash down
And I'm getting older
It's all in the way your head stays firm
And I am your shoulders
It's all in the way I feel the sun
One stare and I'm not breathing
One look is all I'm thievin'
I'm an open wound, but I can't stop bleedin'
God I got to go, but I ain't leavin'
And I'm used to being let down
That's the way it goes in my town
So I think it's time to get away, Or...
[Pre-Chorus:]
I won't feel better...
[Chorus:]
Why can't we be lovers
I'm left without, A reason, Won't even
Blame you when I'm not breathin'
Why can't we remember
I won't forget, The fleeting, Air leaving
I'd Die, to help your breathing
[Verse 2:]
If you feel a little let down
You can run until the next town
Until you think it's time to get away, Or...
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
You'll feel no better...
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Rapunzel, let down your hair
If you seem to have a problem anywhere... uh uh, uh uh
Rapunzel, let down your...
[Verse 3:]
One stare and I'm not breathing
One look is all I'm thievin'
I'm an open wound, but I can't stop bleeding...
One look and I'm not breathin'
One stare is all I'm thievin
I'm an open wound, but I can't stop bleeding
God I got to go, but I ain't leavin'
[Chorus 2:]
Why can't we remember
I won't forget, The fleeting, Air leaving
shes probably one of them high school girls
who always has a man
with her mouth full of straight white teeth
that shine against her lips when she grins
her cold blue eyes stare right through me
cus she doesn't see anything
but the jock around the corner side, baby
shes convinced that he is the king
what i see in you
everything that really matters
wanna be with you
reinsure that everything's alright
her gold hair shimmers in the sun
except for that one week when she dyed it black
id bet if feels like silk on my tainted skin
when will that girl cut me some slack?
what i see in you
everything that really matters
wanna be with you
reinsure that everything's alright
her click is cruel to everyone
and i'm glad i'm not part of that fucked up scene
i know one day shell find me
my perfect little prom queen
what i see in you
everything that really matters
wanna be with you
you gave me a list of things to say
I didn't want them anyway
Maybe it's better left unsaid
Like reading a line from a book I read
I'll copyright them in my head
Creativity instead
But I can see the world from here
There's no point in looking down
And the end is always near
I can't help but thinking
Over...
I feel relieved
Somehow you can swallow all the years
And leave them all behind you
But it's not me
On my own
All alone...
Ignorance is very blind
But it's comforting sometimes
Never knowing what is said
While people read between the lines
I am laughing all the time
Another problem's all you'll find
But I can see the world from here
There's no point in looking down
And the end is always near
I can't help but thinking
Over...
I feel relieved
Somehow you can swallow all the years
And leave them all behind you
But it's not me
On my own
All alone...
Somehow you can swallow all the years
And leave them all behind you
But it's not me
On my own
I...
I saw an uninspiring man
Then I took my glasses off
I find...
That the problems in my hand
And it makes me feel, if I could change
One...
Thing...
Yeah...
It would be the way I see you
(The way I see you)
To think without a care
I breathe it in the air
I...
I saw the world in black and white
Now I see beyond the grey
I'm blind...
Now I see beyond the light
And it makes me feel, if I could change
One...
Thing...
Yeah...
It would be the way I see you
(The way I see you)
To think without a care
I breathe it in the air
That one...
One thing
It makes me the man I am today
The way I see you
The way I see you
It would be the way I see you
(The way I see you)
The way I see you
(The way I...)
It would be the way I see you
(The way I see you)
The way I see you
(The way I...)
To think without a care
I breathe it in the air
To think without a care
I'm a hot shot drenched in etiquette
But dried off I'm not to delicate
Hey there, you'd be surprised
From the first shot surrounded in a corner
Everyone knows who I am but me
Why cant I figure it out?
People talking fills the air
They look at me but I'm not there
I'm disconnected
Your call has been rejected
Last call has never been so far away
Count the lies 'till its time to make a getaway
One more pat on the back
And I'll lose my mind
People talking fills the air
They look at me but I'm not there
I'm disconnected
Your call has been rejected
Who can I count on
When so much has gone wrong?
Everyone is my best friend
But they don't know me and I don't know them
(There are 3 rules:
Smile 'n nod politely,
Ask for their names always remember their names,
but know where the boundaries are
Never cross the line don't let them inside
'cause they're not gonna like what they find)
People talking fills the air
They look at me but I'm not there
I'm disconnected
People talking fills the air
They look at me but I'm not there
I'm disconnected
Your call has been rejected
People talking fills the air
(I'm disconnected)
[Verse 1:]
Somehow we find, that repetition in our lives
Will coincide and one day will free us
In spite we fight, the thoughts that I hide, in our lives
But in a different light it will shine between us
[Chorus:]
Farewell tonight
It was good to see your life
So sleep tonight
Consequence the sacrifice
Through red and white as the reasons, that I think
Repetition falls
Isn't she lovely in pink
[Verse 2:]
And now we find, that correlations in our lives
Will coincide and one day will free us
Just know, that you'll grow, through all this strife in your life
But in a different light, it will shine between us
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Make up your mind
Will I leave to fall behind
'Cus I'm still catching up
Make up your mind
Can I read between the lines
'Cus I'm not giving up
I want you back
To catch me when I fall
I took for granted even though
I never knew it
I love when you write to me
I lied
I can't believe when I see it's signed goodbye
Sincerely me
But I'll keep you around
Scapegoat
You drag me down
I'm on the floor again
Because of what you said
To me
I want you back
To catch me when I fall
I took for granted even though I never knew it
I took for granted even though I never knew it
I love when you yell at me
Repeatedly
But I'm scared of the sound
Silence
A friend I found
You slam the door again
Because of what I said
To you
I want you back
To catch me when I fall
I took for granted even though I never knew it
I took for granted even though I never knew it
Like dominoes in love
We all fall down
I won't be around to pick the pieces up from this
And there's no medicine to take for the pain I feel from this
There's no escape at
All fall down
I wanted you back
Sometimes you need to fall
I took for granted even though I never knew it
Don't want you back
I know I need to fall
[Verse 1:]
A youth sixteen, her head filled with dreams, a loving family, it seems
Dear God save me, I've lost my way home, direction unknown, to me
[Chorus:]
Lift me up, Lift me up, and save me
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
Lift me up, Lift me up, and save me
I've gone away, and I don't need your sympathy
[Verse 2:]
Thank you kindly, being there for me, through eternity, softly
Dear God help me, I bid you farewell, it's the end for me, finally
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
You make me feel like I'm really alive
I'll still be with you, after I've died
Now is the time, you've been given the signs
So I confide, to just leave the world behind
You make me feel like I'm really alive
I'll still be with you, after I've died
I fell behind, tried to run and hide
So I confide, to just leave the world behind
[Chorus 2:]
Lift me up, Lift me up, and save me
Put me away in your mental publicity
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
I've gone away, and I don't need your sympathy
Lift me up, Lift me up, and save me
I'm here to stay, I'm a simple complexity
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
So, so, so
Jump in the fire
Let it burn to the bone,
You can't find this excitement hibernating at home
And only the lucky leave banged up and bruised
So, let me tell you about the way
I woke up without you Sunday morning
Let me tell you I'm here to stay
Despite my mindful efforts of leaving
So, let me tell that tale
Inside of that hotel
Still I was sitting in the corner
Trying to figure out if it went well
I exhale
So, now I get up and on my way
When I woke up beside you Monday morning
Well I guess that's the price you pay
When you wonder what happens if I stay
So, let me tell that tale
Inside of that hotel
Still I was sitting in the corner
Trying to figure out if it went well
I stepped outside
And I found a new day
I almost cried
But that's gone with yesterday
However life goes by
Would you give me the words to say
Even if I lied
Would you love me anyway?
Would you love me anyway?
So, let me tell that tale
Inside of that hotel
Still I was sitting in the corner
Set the stage for disaster
Curtain call for the actor
I don't know maybe our players a pro
The cracks in the makeup start the show
You never thought we could see what happened on the other side
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what it is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies flash out before my eyes again
Let me out 'cause I'm not doing anybody any good
Comedy and confusion
Tragedy and illusion
We could never stand being together when the lights went down
You never thought we could see what happened on the other side
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies flash before my eyes again
Practice to deceive
Tangled webs we weave
But don't believe that your misunderstood
You did all you could
To make sure you weren't doing anybody any good
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what it is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies are telling me that this is the end
So take the stage and the spotlight
Take a bow and say goodnight
Make your final exit
Now the place where you once stood
It's time
To pack your bags and sing the songs that will make the whole world tremble
And we're not gonna let you stop 'til you have a platinum on your mantle.
Hold on, are we ready for this?
This business is so hit or miss
You talk the talk now your ass is mine
So sign right here on the dotted line...
Finally,
We're not in my parents basement at home
Here we are,
We're still unknown
It's ok
Just shove us in the van and watch
The journey begins in the suburbs and ends live at red rocks
Based on taking chances and believing in ourselves
We've taken our vows to work hard and play loud
We sold our souls to play the roles
Floating out
Swallowed down
But I can't seem to drown
Floating out on the rivers in my mind
Somehow I can see my life
In all its glory and its shame
My conscience tells me that your the one to blame
Return to what we understand
And I don't know
How do I breathe, how do I breathe?
When I'm drowning in my sleep
How do I wake before I'm just a memory?
How do I breathe (how do I breathe?)
when I'm drowning, drowning in my sleep?
Drifting out
As a current cuts my throat
I breathe back out
In different times
You still might find the things you thought were only yours to keep
turn out to be the same as mine
Return to what we understand
And I don't know
How do I breathe, how do I breathe?
When I'm drowning in my sleep
How do I wake before I'm just a memory?
How do I breathe (how do I breathe?)
when I'm drowning, drowning in my sleep?
Floating out
Swallowed down
When I drown
Washed up and wondering if I'll ever be found
[Verse 1:]
I found a world of change it came across my way
Shit smacked me in the face, and scared me to this day
But in this world of change, I found new discoveries
What I will find, made up my mind, there ain't no other way
[Break:]
And not a split second seemed to pass, inside my head of where to flick it
We are straight by the company of this life, juvenile delinquent
We've been smoking up on the trees, and the kind buds till we've learned
Never to trust a friend in a bend, you'll get fucking burned
[Chorus:]
And I'm lifted once again
Flashing lights beside my bed
Now my life has changed again
Tragedy my only friend
I'm convicted once again
My only thoughts behold the end
Through and through my conscience shreds
But I'm happier instead
[Verse 2:]
I found a world of change it came across my way
Shit smacked me in the face, and scared me to this day
But in this world of change, I found new discoveries
What I will find, made up my mind, there ain't no other way
[Break]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
We fell to deep
Lust in temptation for my soul to keep
Lie awake to sleep
I will jump in the air but I'll land on my feet
We fell to deep
Lust in temptation for my soul to keep
Lie awake to sleep
I will jump in the air but I'll land on my feet
Learning to be lonely when it's easier to crawl
You've given up on trusting at all
And how did we wind up in a dream we can't undo?
Stupid to think it really could come true
I can't wait for tomorrow
I'm lapsing today
Fall into the bottom
Push me all the way
I'll be here waiting
'Til the wrong seems right
This is the last thing we need
It's a struggle
It's a let down
Only worth its wait in gold
Don't let the drama surround you
Or get in your way
'Cause if you never let the weather
Warm you up when you get cold
Hours will pass
Raise your glass
We've got nothing to say
I can't wait for tomorrow
I'm lapsing today
Fall into the bottom
Push me all the way
I'll be here waiting
'Til the wrong seems right
This is the last thing we need
'Cause people keep on moving while were stuck here
Rotting away in the ashes
Of the city by the bay
Believe when I say
Oh, someday we'll break out
Break out
I can't wait for tomorrow
I'm lapsing today
Fall into the bottom
Push me all the way yeah yeah
I'll be here waiting
'Til the wrong seems right
This is the last thing we need
(Last thing we need)
This is the last thing we need
(Last thing we need)
This is the last thing we need
(Last thing we need)
Here's my tale of worry
Guilty grievance
The kind you keep buried
In the back of your head
As the night got colder
His anger took over
A barrel to the shoulder forced me to the ground
She looks at me
And her sense of comfort doesn't make me feel at ease
And so began the walk of shame
Through cherry hill
Up cherry lane
The silence between us from that day on
Is the secret that we can't get beyond
She looks at me
And her sense of comfort doesn't make me feel at ease
She looks at him
Gave him what he wanted
Was sacrificed to save our lives
Its a bad dream
I just can't wake up
When it's over I play it from the top
10 years gone it seems like yesterday
All the color turned black and grey
She looks at me as if nothing was wrong
And we kid ourselves that cherry hills gone
She looks at him
Gave him what he wanted
Was sacrificed to save our lives
She reaches for the phone
Before we get alone
[Verse 1:]
The air, outside, innocently speaks the whisper, where to run and hide
Take care, tonight, lovely listening, reminiscing, where to run and hide
[Break:]
You've left me flagrantly obscure
Unjustly understanding, so what did you leave me for
You've told me life's not fair but pure
Unjustly perseverance, so what are you fighting for
You've left me standing, so what did you leave me for
[Chorus:]
I'm faulty without you, please help me decide
A fragrant perk, question of pride, of pride, for you and I
You've let me out, so open wide
All my life's been changing tides
[Verse 2:]
The air, inside, has left me lonely, almost homely, but I've lost my sight
Take care, tonight, it's almost over, run for cover, you'll be back in time
[Break]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
You showed me life
You were for life, so what did you leave me for
[Chorus 2:]
I'm faulty without you, please help me decide
I'm faulty without you, please help me decide
A fragrant perk, question of pride, of pride, for you and I
You've let me out, so open wide
You showed me how to open my eyes
A fragrant perk, question of pride, of pride, for you and I
You've let me out, so open wide
Seemingly i act afraid
While we walk, wasting another day
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Set me free
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Breaking, breaking me
I walk through, i try to find
Yes everything, everything that i left behind
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Set me free
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Breaking, breaking me
I stand alone
Watching the world fall down
Go on to
Helps me lift my feet up off the ground
I'm wasting
Wasting another day
And i screamed
Help me out my way
Seemingly i act afraid
While we walk, wasting another day
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Set me free
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Breaking, breaking me
I stand alone
Watching the world fall down
Go on to
Helps me lift my feet up off the ground
I'm wasting
Wasting another day
And i screamed
1, 2, 3, 4
Started off
Bobbys' home
Searching for his fantasies
Downloading porn for free
Suddenly, lightening struck
A tree fell down and came through the house
Electric shocks ran through the mouse
Somethings changed (somethings changed), hes not the same
Bobby became pixel boy and the world he's going to destroy
And if you get in his way he'll make you sorry
Bobby became pixel boy pushed to the point he will destroy
Anyone in his way
Oh, they'll be sorry
Saturday, that slut came home
From another made up weekend
She's supposed to be chilling with her friends
He said "let me hold your hand and see.
With the power given to me I can upload your memories."
He doesn't like what he sees
Bobby became pixel boy and the world he's going to destroy
And if you get in his way he'll make you sorry
Bobby became pixel boy pushed to the point he will destroy
Anyone in his way
Oh, they'll be sorry
Singled out
He's had enough
Of never really fitting in
His confidence if wearing thin
The answer came into his brain
It's to destroy the world like this!
The ever infamous pixel boy woke up today and was overjoyed
'Cause during the night with a lightening strike he became just Bobby
He doesn't wanna be pixel boy
He just wants to be a normal boy
a human life is not a toy and now hes sorry
Woah, woah
Another day for Bobby to start over
The chaos spreads in less than it takes the snow to fall
In Providence or Portland
They don't care at all
All of a sudden time stands still
The streets are white like crused up pills
Make a list of things to do
And cross them off cause today is through ,yeah
It's hard to sit still when theres so much to be done
The chaos spreads in less time than it takes the snow to fall
In Buffalo or Boston they don't care at all
And the stale stench of winter
Is wreaking havoc through the town
So trade your beach blanket for boredom
Mother natures throwing down
Tranquilize the neighborhood like a postcard shot thats there for good
2 days stranded and I'm loosing my mind
Instead of water I'll float online
The barometer drops
And we're inches from the end
The chaos spreads in less than it takes the snow to fall
In Providence or Portland
They don't care at all
And the stale stench of winter
Is wreaking havoc through the town
So trade your beach blanket for boredom
Mother natures throwing down
The stale stench of winter makes a sheep flock to the mall
how long will i walk alone
asling the questions that i condone
its alright i don't relate
all of life's problems, undecided fate
its always the wicked ones
who run in the wardrobe before the games begun
i cant quite understand
all of the answers of our dying men
its okay provided we straggle on
its okay these battlescars linger on
can we always complicate
all of life's problems, an open debate
i swallow my soul and pride
i choked all the demons that i'm keeping inside
how long will my journey take
across all its hills and its life i escape
i walk through but not too far
taking with me my battlescars
its okay provided we straggle on
Down 31st street 4 years done
The graduation celebrated
With reckless fun
Nights filled with parties, girls,
And the freedom we'd been longing for
3 stuck together
Discussing life and whats in store
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
All the photographs can't capture
The bitter-sweetness of knowing
I'll never see your faces again
Nostalgia hits sometimes just like a punch in the face
And when it does I wonder
Did I make the right mistakes?
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
And if you don't know by now
I'm the one who gets away
Where are we now?
Too far apart from each other
How could 1 week be the end
But the start of another?
X'd out chapter of our lives?
Time is like poison never tasted 'til you die
At first you don't feel it
It starts to kick in
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
And if you don't know by now
(And if you don't know by now)
And if you don't know by now
I'm the one who got away
