Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Sometimes I get so tired of their lies (it never stops)
It's worth more than my life (than my life)
Say the word and I will die
There's no peaceful for passing of this new sickness
That I have introduced
To everyone around me
saying that I'm the cause of all their crime
And when they're drunk I pour the wine
Lets leave this place and say that we escaped
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of plans that we have made
So they can't find us and take what is ours
Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Take me far from this less-than perfect design
My contributions only go so far without monetary gain for my part.
Lets leave this place and say that we escaped
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of plans that we have made
So they can't find us and take what is ours
Running with the scissors pointed at your heart from your hand
Is that your plan?
I don't have time for questions concerning your future position
Lets leave this place (it won't happen this time)
and say that we escaped (decisions that are mine)
Well say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace (the finger and the gun)
of plans that we have made (to be the only one)
So they can't find us and take what is ours (take what is ours)
Put on your coat (it's time to go)
Dancing very close (with what I want)
Taking every inch to (it's farthest point)
Losing precious time (is not a choice)
When I'm dealing with you (I heard your voice)
Giving up the fight (with arms that bruise)
delicately shading (these grays and blues)
but I could never stop (bleeding for you)
falling away from you always seems so tragic in my mind.
i hear that you're doing well now, things i wish i could have heard from you.
but it's been so long since the first time we tried, oh but anyway...
all my friends say hello.
the phone rings, as soft sheets and daylight surround me.
she's gone, they tell me. are you listening?
for the life of me i can't see through this haze of sleepless dreaming.
light breaks, the morning shades wake but rise no more.
i could have called her the night before empty broken promises lost.
i never said goodbye.
i never had the time.
i never said goodbye.
for the life of me i can't see through this haze of sleepless dreaming.
light breaks, the morning shades wake but rise no more.
i should have called her the night before you were broken,
now everything's lost.
you've taken this too far
now it has to stop
you've taken this too far
once again
the table's turned
and i'm behind
picking up the pieces from the night
my face is scarred
sometimes
i feel that i can't trust myself at all
and every time the sky
(every time the sky)
breaks open with sunshine
as streaming swords collide
(streaming swords collide)
it takes me back in time
i float away
to another place
where heaven is waiting
right outside
this is war
can I take it anymore? (can I take it anymore?)
i'm falling faster and bleeding more
than i have bled before
certain death (this blade will carve a purpose)
lingers on the other hand (and make you feel defeated)
but i will fight you
and victory will be mine in the end
circumstances mean nothing
when it's over
we will be
heroes constantly
pushing forward without any fear
if i erased the line between
forgotten days and memories
i'd never change
resolution made in vain
to face (to play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
Are you listening?
We write a thousand pages, they're torn and on the floor
Headlights hammer the windows, we're locked behind these doors
And we are never leaving, this place is part of us
And all these scenes repeating are cold to the touch
My hands seem to deceive me
When I'm nervous or when I'm healthy
The scenery's all drawn
They hang here from the walls dear
Painting pictures, bleeding colors
Blanket the windows
Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe
Your eyes see right through me
These fights with your arms left beside
It's one thing and one more says goodnight
You've got the map, come get to me
These knuckles break before they bleed
Tear out these veins that own my heart
This skin that wears your lasting marks
I've built these walls, come get to me
Come get to me
Is this your lesson, a slight discretion
The lines that keep you, the lines that sweep you
Lock the doors from the inside
Your face is so contagious, it wears announcements
It leaves me breathless, I won't forget this
I won't forget
Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe
Your eyes see right through me
Let the walls have their say
Let the walls have their say
Let the walls have their say
Let the walls have their say
Let the walls have their say
Have their say
There's no conversation, words without remorse
And this television drowns the only source
Wake from these dreams of you in my arms
To the staircase where you hold my heart
Put on your shoes, let's go outside.
It's easy for the brilliant light.
Avoiding phone calls and long goodbyes.
The city skylines always bring big smiles to me,
As we sit in our cars, divided by white lines and signs in between.
Electronic letters screaming it all gets better
And I'm just waiting for you to sing.
It's nice to be alive and feel nothing at all.
Full credit for the right.
Don't shout I hear you.
It's gonna be hard.
I've already said that to myself it's not worth repeating.
You better speak up before the drive.
Everyone's hiding something, there's nothing like you said.
When you're holding nothing, no one trusts a prayer.
Hang from your words and guard your heart,
This is just a new found transition.
But without reason, I found you
With so much outside my window.
You're not here, by my side,
So that you could see how little it matters.
I'm yours now, you brought me things that I've waited to dream.
I'd take it back to have the chance to see her laugh,
no see her dance
You never told me it would be so hard.
And now I wait for everyday to go away, just go away
Goodnight, goodnight.
I would tuck you in so tight, but I'm just
a tired man with those tired hands of mine.
Wake up, baby. It's time for us to leave.
You're just a little girl in your lonely world with me
So let's go all the way. Let's go all the way.
This dark road will lead right where you want to be.
You're driving, so take the wheel.
Your conscience is pleading as you start believing
that what you're doing is not for you.
But there's no mistaking the life that you're taking,
so kill the inconvenient truth.
So let's go all the way. Let's go all the way.
This dark road will lead right where you want to be.
I know your face
I know your smile and how it plays
Into the minds of those who cling to every word you say
This isn't how I wanted to remember me and you
Your eyes are talking but your lips are standing still
Open your mouth tell me how I'm supposed to feel
My finger pointing is just a warning so I suggest you
Say you're wrong
Let's get this over
I would like to get some sleep tonight
Let's get this over, I'd like to get some sleep tonight
You make it hard for me to leave
So very hard for me to leave
By now the lies you told are weighing on your chest
If I provide the rope I know you'll do the rest
But I will not be an accessory no I'm not who you think
And I will never be your enemy so don't insult me
Say you're wrong
This could be easier if I was over her
Say you're wrong
I know she's just a girl
But she's got me standing on the edge
I'm on the edge of the world
My eyes are open for the first time
This place not yours it's in my own eyes
I am not a man who lives a life of soldiers
I am not the kind of man who walks away
I will stand up face to face or toe to toe with anyone
Yes anyone
Everything you said about me was the truth but
I just don't think that I can look at you the same
You're like a splinter that will never show its head to anyone
To anyone
Now I know that I was not the man you wanted
You know I loved you and I wanted to make you proud
My intentions were to never give myself to anyone
Find these answers
from the words that
you already, you already said
Never thought I
Would find out
But we're here now
Waiting for it,
Waiting for it.
You said you'd never been with anyone else but you lied,
as you try say somehow that I was the one to blame.
Is this the way you felt for saving yourself (if lies were well)
you need help, counting riches form your mouth's piggy bank.
I drove these streets to your front door,
so could you please just help me out?
It's sad to say but there's always more,
and you just stare like you can't hear us out.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
This is where you say this is not what it looks like.
He's got his hands wrapped around your waist.
I want this, do you want it?
I hate this, but you flaunt it.
It sounds absurd, so I waited for my own eyes
to put a face on the person that built these lies.
Did you want this? 'Cause I want it.
Could have fooled me, cause I bought it.
(You have been found out)
I told myself it was the jealousy that caught my distrust,
but I'm such a good pretender I still rendered my doubts.
Of all the liars number one is where you made your debut,
but I'll teach you the truth, because I've figured you out.
I drove these streets to your front door,
so could you please just help me out?
It's sad to say but there's always more,
and you just stare like you can't hear us out.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
I've finally figured you out.
I've finally figured you out.
This is where you say this is not what it looks like.
He's got his hands wrapped around your waist.
I want this, do you want it?
I hate this, but you flaunt it.
It sounds absurd, so I waited for my own eyes
to put a face on the person that built these lies.
Did you want this? 'Cause I want it.
Could have fooled me, cause I bought it.
Trying to forget (I should have been careful)
wishing we never met (but still faithful)
I should have been careful (I should have been careful)
I thought I was unbreakable
But sometimes, you find out (I should have been careful)
That you can not control your heart (but still faithful)
or regain the person that you were from the start (I should have been careful)
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
This is where you say this is not what it looks like.
He's got his hands wrapped around your waist.
I want this, do you want it?
I hate this, but you flaunt it.
It sounds absurd, so I waited for my own eyes
to put a face on the person that built these lies.
Did you want this? 'Cause I want it.
Last night I had a dream
That you decided to leave me
And no matter what I said
My persuasion fell upon your deaf ears
Don't leave me here alone, I'm not so good on my own
I'm not so good, I'm not so good on my own
Is it too late? Am I too gone?
Is there something I should know?
Am I working for nothing?
Will there ever be anything to show?
Is it true? I don't know what the storybooks have told
Though I wouldn't be so bold to say so (Bold to say so)
Will I do what I'm told? Will I play my hand or fold?
Will I stand my ground and hold? I would like to think so
But if I just walked away, would you still save me?
Or would you take back all that you gave me?
But if I just walked away, would you still save me?
Or would you take back all that you gave me?
Is it too late? Am I too gone?
Is there something I should know?
Are we working for nothing?
Is there anything to show,
for the service? Is it worthless?
All the waiting is the hardest part.
Come home my dear because I love you, I love you still
It's a slap in the face when I feel my complacency grow
It's the thrill of the chase, when you catch it you just let it go
I take for granted the grace that is given me daily I know, oh
How can you say that you love me when all that I want
All that I want is your blessing and then I am gone
Nothing I do can make up for the things I have done, oh
Your love is all we need (love is all we need)
We're gonna make it
So let's close our eyes tonight and just believe
Your love is all we need (love is all we need)
We're gonna make it
I've got to put a stop to all this, to all this being separated and then cut off,
I've got to put a stop to all this...
(I've seen this, I taste it, I've seen this...)
I've gotta put a stop to all this, to all this being separated and then cut off, I've gotta put a stop to all this
Float over the world and decide for ourselves if we would ever return
If only our dreams were fires to ignite, then we could let the whole world burn
(chorus)
You said this was over when you suffocate the truth and trade for nothing
(Kisses and the distances are clinging to my weaknesses)
Somebody help me here 'cause I can't steer, the road runs away
A killer to my worries and they caught me without my defence
Theres a death inside, and it's yours in mind
So count up your identities and fit in for the frequencies of need
Does it depend of circumstance or excuse? My inheritance of the abuse
The importance of new, my choice of the two
The truth is that I choose you
(chorus)
I've got to put a stop to all this, to all this being separated and then cut off,
I've got to put a stop to all this, to all this being separated and then CUT OFF!
(I've seen this, I taste it, I've seen this...)
I'm crushed, broken, begging, for this
Outside, of you, let this, seventh, time come, my hands, I still, taste it
Time come, my hands, with my, conscious
We can make believe we're happy and free.
It's automatic when the money is in our hands.
People always try to look beyond their own lives, but I know that it won't last. Pride comes before our fellow man.
It's a perfect day for us to make a change.
Forget about the watered down mistakes that we have made.
There's a way to clear our tainted names, just look ahead and don't be scared. We've got so many choices to make.
Take a look around (just look around), where is your hope found (where is it found)?
Is it the ones you love or just your bank account?
We all want to be (we want to be) the people we should never be.
We're buying things we just don't need.
Paying for things we don't need to impress those we don't know.
Indebted to our own accessories.
We hide behind our own lives with our fake dreams, it just can't be the only thing we have worth living for.
(We will live. We will die, not by the sword, but by our pride.
We are stripped. We are torn. Is my own wealth worth living for?)
It's a perfect day for us to make a change.
Forget about the watered down mistakes that we have made.
Morning breaks into a brand new day, so look ahead and don't be scared.
When I saw you walking by
I could not believe my eyes
Underneath the city lights
Reflecting all your curves just right
Can I have your attention
For a moment
I just need to say something
If you've got the time
Then I got the reason for the sin
If you've got the time
Then I got the reason for the sin
Have you been looking out
Have you been watching my back
My patience is running out
And I can't seem to stay on the right track
Your wanting eyes
keep me coming back for more and more each time
Lets get this right
'Cause there is no second chance after tonight
No chance after tonight
I know you've got it in you
Won't you let it out (Let it out)
Dig a little deeper and I know you'll find strength inside
If we can be the ones to hold on, to stay strong
Maybe we can make a difference in somebody life
In somebody
I won't to be part of the riot
I won't to be part of the revolution
You think you're keeping us quiet
We are not the problem but we are the solution
I wont to be part of the riot
I wont to be part of the revolution
You think you're keeping us quiet
We are not the problem but we are the solution
Let's get this right
'Cause there are no second chances
I know you've got it in you
Won't you let it out (Let it out)
Dig a little deeper and I know you'll find strength inside
If we can be the ones to hold on, to stay strong
Maybe we can make a difference in somebody's life
I know you've got it in you
Won't you let it out (Let it out)
Dig a little deeper and I know you'll find strength inside
If we can be the ones to hold on, to stay strong
Maybe we can make a difference in somebody's life
I got eyes in the back of my head and I see where
you're going with this.
I'm not surprised. You take me for a fool. Maybe you're
right.
If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here
tonight.
You're such a sap. You never learn.
Here I am watching the summer fading. (The summer we
shared fades away with the winter)
Your hands were warm on my face. Now they're crashing
away. (Your hands were cold now...)
Slowly pushing me away. Pushing me away. (Slower than
icy veins slowly pushing me away)
I knew it (I knew it) right from the start.
I've got this big, big hole in my heart.
I wanted (I wanted) to put you in.
But for some reason you just wouldn't fit.
You just wouldn't fit.
You're such a sap. You never learn.
Here I am watching the summer fading. (The summer we
shared fades away with the winter)
Your hands were warm on my face. Now they're crashing
away. (Your hands were cold now...)
Slowly pushing me away. Pushing me away. (Slower than
icy veins slowly pushing me away)
Pushing me away.
Lust kept giving men so many regrets.
Just this once is what we tell ourselves.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails.
But if the wind fails, is there hope for me? (I guess
your love...)
I thought your love was safe. The promise you made...
(wasn't so safe, the promise you made...)
Now I am drowning in your shallow sea; I swim.
(you are the storm, the wind and the waves.
you break me in two and toss me away)
You are the waves that toss me in.
(I fell apart when I fell for you)
How can I float above the water that fills my lungs?
(you are the water filing my lungs,
killing me softly without a word)
Killing me softly without a word.
So is it courage or strength,
and is that what I'm waiting for?
If I could just kill myself,
would it also kill the remorse?
I wanted so badly to catch a break,
but I'm only breaking down.
I'm still here and standing
but if it's up to me, I don't think?.
I'll be?. hanging around
The drink slips down my throat and the burn cures nice and slow all the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
The only parts left of me now?
Here I am, just a kid without a better plan,
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
...I never got to see the west coast
Spend my nights just asking why,
would God let me become like this
Was it a joke from the start,
was I s'posed to laugh more at it?
And everyone's quoting the teachers and preachers,
but their words make me feel so alone.
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts in the middle of the night.
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life
The drink slips down my throat,
and the burn cures nice and slow
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see,
the only parts left of me now.
Here I am just a kid without a better plan
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
... I never got to see the west coast
But it's the life I dreamed I d have,
the love I would find in my grasp,
the words I could share with someone...
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs,
the tomorrow my hope will become
fulfilled by a Love that can't be undone...
...And save a wretch like me
So if the drink slips down your throat,
and the burn cures nice and slow,
all the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see,
the same parts I have in me now?.
it scares me, too, we are both this way?.
I feel just like you do.
But when you're by yourself you should know...
I'm addicted to bad decisions.
I just can't ever help myself.
(but this is different)
It sounds so convincing...
She's good for you.
So good for us as well.
You'll be the taste lingering on my lips.
It'll be my hands clinging to your hips.
I got get get get it out,
gotta get me out.
Find the flaw,
find the switch,
just get me down.
Wouldn't matter if you couldn't go back.
But you never even thought to ask.
So I think if you would,
then I think that you should.
Remember, remember, remember.
(I blame this on a honest year)
We've done this all together.
(If you take this slow, she won't know)
Remember the imposters and pretenders.
(You blame this on a modest year)
Together have done this to get her.
So go get her.
Is it possible to forget your name?
The identity running through your veins?
Was it worth these ends to play this part?
I never thought it could get this far.
Vanity only brings in the new.
But the sinking ship drowns every person here,
including you.
And tell yourself you were wrong when it hurts.
But the unoriginal you would have never worked.
Oh, you're the lucky one.
It's hard to show when the stains bleed through,
she's gotta know this was never you.
Gotta get get get it out,
gotta get me out,
just can't seem to shut shut shut it down.
Although the stains stay same, they just reappear.
But I can keep this all up for you, dear.
Gotta get get get me out,
gotta get it out.
Find the flaw,
find the switch,
just shut it down.
Remember, remember, remember.
(I blame this on an honest year)
We've done this all to get her.
So go get her.
Is it possible to forget your name?
The identity running through your veins?
Was it worth the ends to play this part?
I never thought it could get this far.
Vanity only brings in the new.
But the sinking ship drowns every person here,
including you.
Tell yourself it was wrong when it hurts.
But the unoriginal you would have never worked.
Oh, you're the lucky.
You're the lucky one.
Someone would love you so much they would come undone.
On, you're the lucky one.
I'm addicted to bad decisions,
I just can't ever help myself.
Always thought I could fix the edges.
But I'm torn and there's nothing left.
I just can't stand the thought of you this way.
So I said the things that I thought would make you stay.
But I was wrong. I was wrong.
I was wrong.
Is it possible to forget your name?
The identity running through your veins?
Was it worth the ends to play this part?
I never thought it could get this far.
Vanity only bring in the new.
But the sinking ship drowns every person here,
including you.
Tell yourself you were wrong when it hurts.
But the unoriginal you would have never worked.
pave these streets with open arms
it's always you we're waiting on
the skin, the taste, the drug, the need
i'm asking, telling you, don't leave
erase the lines that we have drawn
it's always you we're waiting on
and waiting on and waiting on
and on and on and on and on
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
wait wait wait, i don't wanna see
wait wait wait, i am not the person anyone would want to be
the perfect shoes with matching clothes
it is the lie we're always told
but nothing masks the shallow touch
by saying words that cost so much
while you're an addict to the need
to find yourself a way to breathe
the sex, the purge, the vein, the look
to reflex feelings that we took
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
perfection, it's perfection
but never quiet enough, and never could disguise
the drugs to make it stay
the wanting in your eyes
the money that you spent, but you're still an accident
we are more than words that fill our mouths
drink with eyes that tell us the answers that we need
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
wait wait wait, i don't wanna see
wait wait wait, i am not the person anyone would want to be
You have always seen the best part of me
With my uncovered eyes
Loose from lenses, absorbing light
Your hand is wrapped in mine
The sun set for the last time
Carpet stains from coffee cups
Thrown to stop from hurting so much
Paralyzed I thought I'd fail
You somehow, and let you down
But you saved me from death
We came alive for the first time
Joining as voices sing, together
This year is different than last,
and all of the Christmas has past,
the carolers singing and sleigh bells are ringing,
but there's still one thing I must ask.
Please don't leave.
There's still presents under the tree.
It's you, you, you I need.
The fireplace is cold and dry,
the wind whistles through trees on this cold winters night.
As you tell me we've shared out last
there's just one thing that I have to ask.
Please don't leave,
there's still presents under the tree.
It's you, you, you I need.
A Christmas Story is on the TV,
Randy is showing how the piggies eat.
And I'm laughing through the tears,
that was our movie for all of these years.
Please don't leave,
there's still presents under the tree.
I’m having erratic dreams
Coming apart at the seams
I gotta get away
If I don’t get away I’m gonna break it all
Everyone is trying to tear me apart
I’m going straight from the end back to the start
Doesn’t matter where I run I always run into a wall
Oh no
Don’t talk pretend not to hear
I’m always living a lie
I’m always living in fear
So now I’m gonna go figure out I’m not one of them at all
I ? like rats on the page
You know I right them all down and then I tear up the page
I gotta scare them out of here
Oh no
wasted, paralyzed
beneath ten thousand layers of disguise
built to save
what's left that has already worn away
inside this vacant made-up plastic life
only your heart survived
for one last cry
one last cry
one last cry
how long (must i always remember all that i want to forget)
until it's my day (my day)
to die
these broken animals
useless as they are
these broken animals
as useless as they are
these broken animals
as useless as they are
gravity gets to me
holds me here
without release
now's the time
to cut the line
cross my heart
i realize
nights are long
and hope is gone
God help me
make it home
make it home
just take it back (I feel)
they're only words (your hair)
we hold the tethers (through my)
we're here together (fingers)
we paint the night (every)
only to find (silk stand)
it's cracked and peeling (takes my)
each face revealing (breath a-)
what we don't say (-way)
let's take these lines and
draw ourselves out of here
this shipwreck
from set-sail
we'll map the stars
tonight they help to find a way
when all is said
words can breathe more life than death
the inner sense that people share
touching on secrets and letting down hair
over and over let's not forget last time
i've kept the best parts and play them in my mind
this is tomorrow so take it or leave it
empty diaries
there's nothing to say
and we'll take the right steps
to keep these pages clean
you want the answers
i see them on your face
you need to know this is where the promise breaks
i can give you my answer
i can give you my answer
i can give you my answer
i can give you my answer
i know (i know)
if you stay (if you stay)
this will be (this will)
ours to take (be ours to take)
inside i (i feel)
am overwhelmed (so good)
from holding back (i want)
but know that this won't be forever (you for all my days, but tonight...)
i can't stay here
you can't ask me
one and three, you're here
(one and three, you're here
to tell me we can't do this)
to tell me we can't do this
(three for three, i'll disagree)
anymore
your hair and face against the mirror
as i take the steps to save what's left of me
someone's out when it's over
people steal from you
and they take anything they choose
it's good to see you
i missed you last night
that's such a lovely color
it goes with your eyes
before we fall asleep
i just wanted to say
this all seems so easy
but there's choices to make
can't decide, then look at the faces
candlelight
we're burning the pages
but ask us why
and hurting ourselves with this false start
resign yourself
and always be (and we pretend)
without the one (as if it gets easier)
thing you need (but does it get easier?)
reading words with no replies
when we have these mornings where we can say goodbye
i wanted to mean everything to you
but this isn't right
you keep coming back disassembled and i
keep losing this fight
i won't
answer
dancing under starlight glow
no one in the city knows
confidence can take you
nerves try to shake you
from going all the way
it's not that far
it's good to see you
i missed you last night
that's such a lovely color
it goes with your eyes
before we fall asleep
just wanted to say
this all seems so easy
there's choices to make
we watch the tide roll in
with cold air and coffee cakes
holding our words at lips
stopping the sounds they make
we know the way to go
we know each step to take
to be here
these words with no replies
stopping we's and starting i's
this need is killing me
and taking me over
i wanted to mean everything to you
but this isn't right
you keep coming back disassembled and i
Don't be late
There's no time to be afraid
There's a way
To clean up the mess you made
If I could tell the truth
Or lie would I attempt to do at the same time
Expect you to apologize for trying
To make me so up tight
Don't say it's just a game we play
I can't lose the taste
If you regulate how the blood is pumping
Through the veins from my heart into my head
In time this blood supply
Will change me from red to white
Every thought that you know I'm thinking
May as well be the knife stuck in my back
This taxing fever makes me gravitate to this place
This is still my life
Not yours to define
(Anyone in their right mind would never let you inside
Anyone in their right mind)
I've broken ties with the neighborhood
Feeling like a bum in the city
Waking only to take a drink
From an empty glass of nothing good
Then sinking like a stone in the sea
Without the oxygen I need
Deciding as I wait for air to entertain
Careful not to (to breathe in
The right time and the right way to elevate
Careful not to (to breathe in
To breathe in the air that so proudly puts to death
My own fathers name
I remember when your hand started shaking
There's a better way
I've noticed your design
Cause I'm not blind
I'm like a cigarette
Burning burning every night
But there's no ash that falls
There's only telephone calls in the afternoon
Stretching through a thousand walls
So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone (If you can't sleep alone)
I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone
If you're measuring with time
In seconds or in lifetimes
There's no difference
It's constantly just passing by
But there's nothing at all
No valium or slow songs
To relax my view
Just you, maybe your new perfume
So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone (if you can't sleep alone)
I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't hear the song (if you can't hear the song)
Then turn it off
Then turn if off
If you cast that first stone
Then throw them all
Then throw them all
I start to sleep but it's not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back
To start over again
Just between the rock and paper
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I'd take it all back
I wish I could put you into words
So it would all make sense
I'd write you a thousand times
Your faces in pages
Run your answers the best way you can
It's that you never thought that you'd be coming in last
(This is the wrong time, the wrong place)
You're always the same way
(I was waiting for pages to read from)
The fresh starts with stained hands, wear you out
The weekend towns
(The lines fading, why can't you see)
The picture frames
It's my favorite shirt
I'm so glad you came
And I think you're wrong
(If you're everything, there's nothing left of me)
It's not just vacation
It's more than boys and girls and late nights
Run your answers the best way you can
It's that you never thought that you'd be coming in last
(This is the wrong time, the wrong place)
You said that you couldn't
(I was waiting for pages to read from)
That's all the you wanted to bring to the show
And then leave without reason
You can't do this right
It's been more then engaging
The long walks and talks but the these faces you're making now
Don't bother now, you just said enough...
You said that you couldn't
That's all the you wanted to bring to the show
And then leave without reason
You can't do this right
It's been more then engaging
The long walks and talks but the these faces you're making now
You said that you couldn't
That's all the you wanted to bring to the show
And then leave without reason
You can't do this right
It's been more then engaging
The long walks and talks but the these faces you're making now
Watching someone stop breathing, feel their arms and palms releasing
The color, the smell of their skin, all of this with your fingerprints
and there isn't a thing that we can do
Drive, drive, drive, drive, I don't want to get caught
We'll say, we'll say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we're not
They will believe anything
I am packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
There isn't one thing we've forgot, you will see, we'll get away with this
My jeans, your shoes, we'll throw away everything we've used
But there is still your worried mouth to match your worried eyes
The only two things left to find
Drive, drive, drive, drive, I don't want to get caught
We'll say, we'll say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we are not
They will believe anything
I'm packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
There isn't one thing we've forgot, you'll see, we'll get away with this
There's no compromise so remember this
Your hands are lies
It is too late for if's
(Murderer, with your teenage eyes, resist confession)
(Oh, the weight is so much; my heart is hollow with this foolish thing I've done)
We'll go home and close the doors and pull the sheets up to our heads and sleep
And there isn't a thing they can do
Drive, drive, drive, drive, I don't want to get caught
We'll say, we'll say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we are not
They will believe anything
I am packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't!
(I could never find such a pretty face, pretty face
Always what you meant, never what you said.
Passing over me like a book you've read.
But I let it fall, valet every wish.
Take my hands and eyes, but I beg you this:
Offer me one kiss.
If it's her you want, this is what it takes...
If it's her you want, this is what it takes...
Let's get this over.
(Let's get this over.)
Discuss and deny soon we simply just lie.
(Let's get this over.)
And wait and see if you choose something like me.
If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
But your such a success, you're just not built for it.
I never knew (I never knew) how much it takes to accept...
I never knew (I never knew) how much it takes to accept
That you're a fake.
If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
(If you just open up your eyes)
But your such a success, you're just not built for it.
(If you just open up your eyes)
If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
(If you just open up your eyes)
But your such a success, you're just not built for it.
(If you just...)
Sometimes I think you just need
Sometimes I think you just need some time.
Sometimes I think I need some to get along without.
To get along without.
(To get along without.)
Everyone's saying that they've got the answers.
But hope is deceiving and spreads like a cancer.
Pardon me for saying so but you look more pitiful
Than I have ever imagined
Despite perfect fashion
And the photographs depict you so differently
I always thought you would be, some sort of match for me
So let's decide who can survive
Stomping feet and racing beats
Of hearts that don't ever slow
Then I'll write letters on white paper
Expressing my deep disappointment
Dripping where I stand from my watery hands
Hoping to get past the open bedroom door
Where her clothes on the floor
Remind me of our conversations
The feeling of slight hesitation
To turn out the lights
14 days now since we started
To complicate the situation
I'm not hiding,
I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door
We will come out when it's safe for us
There's nothing left to say
To excuse the way that I've behaved
I still feel him gripping like a stain to this fabric
Torn in every seam
Then thrown away
(Don't believe me when I say it's over. By the time it's all uncovered)
One without regret, I will not forget
One without regret, I will not forget
Kill me.
Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes?
You were there with every promise made to break
When did you become the one without regret?
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget
When did you become the one without regret?
You wanted to know if
If it was worth the pain that it has caused us.
Both our lives - subtract one life
To know why it was you deserved this
As simple as I can
I'll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen
And where it will leave us now
As your body lets you die,
And I sit here still alive
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
The fluid in your lungs
That tells you you're losing, stop breathing
The medicine that comes will fix you
Will help you but takes you from conscious to sleep
Place my hands to face and weep
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
Something beautiful
Something torn from my hands
I'm not ready for you to die
(I can't leave here like this, get away from her)
This day will end with a life complete
(that is not all that she was. I don't want to say goodbye yet)
This day will end with a life complete
My closest friend here in front of me
You wanted to know if
If it was worth the pain that it has caused us.
Both our lives - subtract one life
You said wait for me by the phone booth
Where we used to meet before school
You had something that you wanted to say
About moving planets and coming round again
How did we waste such time and energy
This will ruin everything
Just like my dream
I caught your hand
waiting on arms of the part i cant stand
But I still wave to you
Aw but i still wave to you
I cant find my heart
(saved for you)
I cant find my heart
(saved for you)
I cant find my heart
(saved for you)
I cant find my heart
The same steps
I waited to hear the right words
The words that i'd say to
But it was something you wanted to say about moving planets and coming round again
How can we waste such time and energy
This will ruin everything
This will ruin everything...
This will ruin everything...
Let's start with just the basics then
I'm sure that we could fake it when
It's time to say how much it meant
And we walk out so innocent
You can be so persuasive
When you say it's
More than a day trip
And convince me
I'm condescending
When I ask, “Will this be ending?"
How quickly lust can pretend that it's love
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes
(we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
All the suspense
That we've created
Now it's wasted
And we can't change it
The beginning to the ending
I find myself remembering
How quickly lust can breed to this love
Designing words to help us believe
It's so much more than just tonight
So we have got to get this right
How quickly words can become our hands (you want it more, you want it more)
Resigning everything we believe (you want it more, you want it...)
You want it, you want it
More
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know
(we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes
(we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
You could be the one to stay
Made from earth for just this day
But something tells me it's not right
That we could lose it all tonight
I'm no better on my own
Leave the message on your phone
Always trying what I can to be a child and not a man
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know (we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes (we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
My hands across your clothes (my hands across your clothes)
And me with all the plans
(Something I'll be)
To keep us boys and girls (to keep us boys and girls)
Another woman and man
And it hurt just to touch
On the words I said too much
I was just a kid
I thought that I could not be caught and much less by a moment
But the words came flooding from my mouth
Some things will never surface
They capsized so long ago
I didn't want to still be sinking
But the anchor, won't let me go
Those things that we thought, were never there
Those ghosts we brought with us everywhere
From your birth you were born in to this
Never knowing when the walls would crack
In your defense you were so unprepared
you said the things that you can't take back
Those things that we thought were never there
Those ghosts we brought with us everywhere
I want to explain this but nothings making sense
There's poison in my blood
It claimed both of our lives
That world we thought important
Crumbled into nothing
Will words define me?
I am more than a moment
Will words define me?
I am more than a moment
That day behind me, but I cannot shake it
I am more than a moment, more than a moment
And the beauty left my eyes
I was standing there with the rest of my life
Knowing I would never be the same
Knowing I had changed
I had become more than what I had dreamed
The look of the youth but with hands stained
The look of the youth but with my hands stained
How were those words in my head? (I am so sorry for what I have done)
For somebody else, somebody else (they all asked me why and I know)
I wish that I could have said (I know I still can't stop myself)
Anything else, anything else
Guilty, guilty, I am guilty
You say that you don't need me anymore
Well that's just fine
You headed for the door
And you won't hear me cryin' anymore
My Anne Marie
Anne Marie
You're leaving me
Anne Marie
You're leaving me
And I don't think you're coming back this time
Anne Marie you're leaving me
And I don't think that you can see
That I'm the man for the rest of your life
You know it's not so hard to let you go
Remember the time at Christmas '99
When we had a snowball fight and you won
My Anne Marie
Anne Marie
You're leaving me
Anne Marie
You're leaving me
And I don't think you're coming back this time
Anne Marie
You're leaving me
And I don't think that you can see
That I'm the man for the rest of your life
A dresser drawer filled with sweet love letters
And the bible you gave me
I won't show up on your doorstep
On Sunday morning
When I pray, God hears your name
Even though things aren't the same
And now I realize why my heart is breaking in two
'Cause you're leaving one piece for me
And taking the rest with you
I used to be a better man
But the regret came, and here I am
I used to walk outside my door
But I don't go outside anymore
When will they carry me to my grave
So I can pay for the things my hands have made
Two sons will take my body and place it in the ground
And I hope they know to be nothing like me
No, nothing like me
My blood is tainted with bitterness
I want it out, I want it out of me
Oh, the taste of my inheritance
How I have fallen, the hills will cover me
You too will become weak
The trees are green what happens when they turn dry
The trees are green what happens when they turn dry
We chose our words and threw them towards the sky
The trees were green, now they've all turned dry
(There was a bird
Whose wings were crushed
By a windshield
So fast to the ground
The roadside it found
As it's eyes closed
I heard the driver say
As she pulled away
"What could I have done?
The worst is over."
I thought to myself
With risk to our health
No one ever offers help)
And there was a bird
Whose wings were crushed

So fast to the ground

I heard the driver say
As she pulled away
"What could I have done?
The worst is over."
I thought to myself
With risk to our health
No one ever offers help
When we were boys
We chased through neighbors' fields
We could run forever
And I swore to my friends
Their lives I'd defend
As a superhero
But age finds the lust
And gives it your trust
And begs your devotion in trade for discretion
The years play out as days
As those friends pass away
But you are taken care of
There's always television
(Television)
(Just crawl inside
Just crawl inside
Just crawl inside
Just crawl inside
I was never going to fall
(I was never going to fall)
But the smile and face have sealed my fate
(The smile, the face)
So sweet, an addict of it all
(I was an addict of it all)
I was blind for another taste
I have nothing left to give,
the veins are dry, you have drained me dry
The world has turned black and cold
And I can't catch my breath
You rehearsed your lines with rhythmic details
They match the pounding in my chest
The summer came and you left me with your words
The clever sounds from your mouth
That can make me feel so worthless
And you say that I am not enough
But though my heart is breaking open
Know that I will not be broken
The person you claimed to be,
is not who haunts me now
The careless lies, behind those brown eyes
That you swore were true more times than I can count
The summer came and you left me with your words
The clever sounds from your mouth
That can make me feel so worthless
And you say that I am not enough
But though my heart is breaking open
Know that I will not be broken
I know these words are weak and young
Spoken as I come undone
But while I drown in these mistakes
Your ego swells, but I can tell
You know that you're a fake.
(You cried in front of your friends)
Just to save some face
(You didn't want it to end)
In just a week I'm replaced
(You wouldn't listen, listen to me)
But can you hear me now
(You're just a sickness and the cancer)
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
So we sit and we wait
For the curtains to fall
And there are words we could use
But should never say at all
But you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do
We met in the courtyard
Where no one would notice
Two kids contemplating
All high school had shown us
And I told you I loved you
And I knew you believed it
As I quited my conscience
Hoping you wouldn't see it
But I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
I just want to be with you tonight
The mood is set and we're here by candlelight
I paid my dues so don't be rude
Stop putting up a fight
I just want to get with you tonight
But "No" they say
What doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
But the questions remain
Until you can't take it any longer
But I am still so young
And I didn't know I could be so dumb
And you your still so young
But now I know that your so dumb
He's never gonna go away
I'm never gonna go away
I just want to be with you tonight
The mood is set and we're here by candlelight
I paid my dues so don't be rude
Stop putting up a fight
I just want to, I just want to, I, I, I,
I do, I do, I do,
I do, I do, I do,
So what about you
Never satisfied
I'm never satisfied
Never satisfied
So let them all fall
Side by side
Side by side
TIME RUNS OUT
Those words seemed so sincere
And I've been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown
I can still hear the trees
At my back and haunting me.
Unafraid, unaffected,
This has all gone so wrong.
Under this December sky,
I walked away compromised,
Counting steps, of what's left
To bring this all to an end
Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game,
It's not a game to me)
Pictures on the drivers seat
So now we we will both kill the messenger
It's such a blur
You didn't even see
This meant everything to me
Invisible, plans you made
Deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
But disappearing
If it's grey then
Just leave it
Some colors start bleeding
So guard yourself
That's what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets
Claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden
To shield yourself from the blame
Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game,
It's not a game to me)
Pictures on the drivers seat
Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can't make me believe
Invisible, plans you made
Deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
But disappearing
Those words seemed so sincere,
In this shallow sea I drown.
You want to run and hide to catch your breath
(This can't be happening)
But why don't you come inside and capture all that's
left
(This can't be happening)
Capture all that's left
(Oh, but this is happening)
I don't want to wait for this
A ruined list, the longing kiss
Making all the moments last
As if we had, the sentiment
Yearning for the sound
Breaking from the crowd
Leaving all the cynics
Racing for the finish
Time runs
Time runs
Time runs
time runs out
If I should die
Let's write the songs that they want
I thought they'd love us but they don't, they don't
With tails tucked between our legs
We'll find a home made of regret
We'll stay shipwrecked and sinking
What a terrible thought to be thinking
You were with us but you let these thoughts in your head
We're not who we're supposed to be
With all the symptoms of the sickness
We have seen
Are you better off leaving?
Tough words held behind my teeth
Pleading that they be set free, but they're empty
That's what some always will want
A game of who's best with their taunts
That are faceless and cred-less
You were with us but you let these thoughts in your head
We're not who we're supposed to be
With all the symptoms of the sickness
We have seen
Are you better off leaving?
With every song that you sing (I can't walk away)
It's yours to the heart
And when you fly or fall (I can't walk away)
Then a new one will start
My eyes burn with hope (I can't walk away)
That you hear what we say
If this was just for the gain then may we never get paid (You can't walk away)
And the music that makes my feet move too (You can't walk away)
Is the same as the music that's inside of you (You can't walk away)
The truth is that when you can see past yourself (You can't walk away)
Your song is the same as everyone else
Let's write the songs that they want
I thought they'd love us but they don't
You were with us but you let these thoughts in your head
We're not who we're supposed to be
With all the symptoms of the sickness
We have seen
There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out.
If it doesn't hurt, then not another word.
You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown.
Do I hold on, when it's so far gone?
To recall all the footsteps in the halls, with our loose lips.
Chemicals in the bloodstream. Start the surgery.
Take care not to hurt me.
Send the signal. Send the signal.
Send the signal. Send the signal.
There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out. (Is this the easy way?)
If it doesn't hurt, then not another word. (Then take me back inside...)
You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown. (Is this is where we were...)
Do I hold on, when it's so far gone?
Brush the skin; blood involved.
Lose the voice.
She rejoices if I'm all alone.
Beauty takes more than anything.
But I can't stop what's inside of me.
Send the signal. Send the signal.
Send the signal. Send the signal.
There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out. (Is this the easy way?)
If it doesn't hurt, then not another word. (Then take me back inside...)
You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown. (Is this is where we were...)
Do I hold on, when it's so far gone?
Is there a chance, just a chance that you need me?
Or are we better off thinking that in this dance the romance is a secret?
But I'm not quite sure I believe it.
With my eyes, with my words, slowly rise and fall...
(Catch me, I'm slipping through)
Slowly rise and fall.
(Catch me, I'm slipping through)
Slowly rise and fall.
Take a look and see for yourself what makes a man a man, and I will step back to the life I left.
Maybe you won't forget who I am.
Wake up in the middle of the night,
Just don't believe everything's all right when these thoughts are running around your head.
And it's late, so you don't really want to say goodbye, so you just head down the stairs that lead you out.
The sound of silence is as loud as a gunshot.
"Forgive me" were the only words they read on the note you left.
Singing, oh... can't find any way out, can't find any way out.
Oh... can't find any way out, I can't find any way out.
I wish I could live where the sea meets the land.
The ocean and I would be the best of friends.
I'd make her my own. I would float in her waves.
She would sing me to sleep as she carries me away.
Won't you carry me away?
Oh, please, carry me away.
Ocean, carry me away.
You're my better half.
Singing, oh... can't find any way out, can't find any way out.
Oh... can't find any way out, I can't find any way out.
Oh... can't find any way out, I can't find any way out.
(I don't really want to sing anymore. There's got to
Be something I could live for, so just show me now.
Everyday is just another regret. It's time for me to
Give it a rest and it's over now.)
(Everyday is just another regret. It's time for me to
Give it a rest and it's over now.)
...Time is running out as you die, die, die in this bed not making a sound.
It has all come crashing down to the heel, and watch you breathe your last.
So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast.
Oh, God, are you listening now?
As this cancer dances through her, and then takes a bow.
It won't disappoint the crowd, whose words are a curse, as I hear them one-by-one.
Please pull the string, and I come undone.
I know this. I felt the same. (I'm sleeping by your side.)
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day.
So many days I've been blind.
I want to stop and rewind.
Kick off our shoes and dance...
Who could tease me and leave me begging for the abuse
You're the only one I knew that could tame me, and make me who I am.
But now, there's self-blaming and there's nothing left of all my plans.
I know this. I felt the same. (I'm sleeping by your side.)
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day.
So many days I've been blind.
I want to stop and rewind.
Kick off our shoes and dance...
Let's dance again.
We'll turn up our sleeves.
I know just where to begin.
Dance, let's dance again.
We could find ourselves before this happens...
These words of mine are trite and simple shame.
Still we find a place in everything.
It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me.
Half of me is dead, already gone.
Half is screaming everyone is wrong.
Finally asking now, will you just hear me out?
This was all my fault.
You brought me death, and it's everything I wanted.
Just hear me out
This was all my fault
Now you've brought me death
And it everything I wanted
It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out
It's the wrong inside that fills my mouth
It's left me without
In this darkness I've given my ground
But know, this night will be mine
But know, this night will be mine
Will be mine...
Esta noche será mia.
Esta noche será mia.
Esta noche será mia.
I'd take it back to have the chance
to see her laugh, to see her dance
You, you never told me it would be so hard
and now you sayin', you can't stay, you can't stay
so get away
This bedroom tells of our mistakes
perfume and innocence to take
(I am) In love but not enough to wait
So take take your place down on my bed
I'm not the same man that you've met
(I'll be) your lover but I'm not our friend
So lets go, all the way
Lets go, all the way
This dark road will lead right where we wanna be
You're driving, so take the wheel
I'd take it back to have the chance
to see her laugh, to see her dance
You, you never told me it would be so hard
and now you sayin', you can't stay, you can't stay
so get away
This clinic smells of death and shame
Misguided women with no names
(I guess) the children are the ones to blame
I'll drop you off, be back at ten
We'll never see this place again
(We will) recover but we won't repent
So lets go, all the way
Lets go, all the way
This dark road will lead right where we wanna be
You're driving, so take the wheel
You're driving, so take the wheel (x2)
You're driving, so take the wheel Ow! (x4)
somebody please tell me
what am I suppose to do?
you've died and I'm here
thinking that I hear your voice,
but it's somebody else
it's always somebody else
why did you die?
don't leave me please
I beg you God tonight bring me peace
I'll never sleep without
the dreams of you alive here with me, alive here with me
the brightness left your eyes
as I held your face
don't tell me it's the right time
and your last words will sustain me
until my end...until I see you again
(the female whisper)
tears of change
onto my hands
my face
I am left wanting
why is this happening
why have you been taken away
I'm tired
I just wanna go home
Your words (your life) evade me (but a moment)
I'll wait to (I'll cling to) remember you (forever)
and what you have (your words) meant to me (on my blood)
could never be forgotten
the chains (why) of death (don't take)
have fallen (away), but my heart still bleeds
it longs for (why) the day (did you die)
You wanna see me disappear, well it starts here
I'm trying my best not to say
What you don't wanna hear, but it's alright
You can cover your, cover your ears
I face my fears just once a year
The feeling I get when I want to return
Everything that's in my life
I'll be busting at the seams
It's a gamble either way
You play your cards
It's another tidal wave
I'll be waiting with my eyes closed
No, I don't want to be the one who lives a lie
But never knew it was just a world away
From where I can feel like I never felt before
So lock the door
You wanna see me disappear, well it starts here
Trying my best just to say
What you don't wanna hear, but it's alright
You can cover your, cover your ears
It's a gamble either way
You play your cards
It's another tidal wave
I'll be waiting with my eyes closed
No, I don't want to be the one who lives a lie
But never knew it was just a world away
From where I can feel like I never felt before
So lock the door
You're the one who told me to pack up all my things
And leave in the morning, it's just a world away from here
And I will never bother you no more
And that's for sure
Take me alive, you'll never, you'll never
Take me alive, you'll never, you'll never
Take me alive, you'll never, you'll never
Take me alive
No, I don't want to be the one who lives a lie
But never knew it was just a world away
From where I can feel like I never felt before
So lock the door
You're the one who told me to pack up all my things
And leave in the morning, it's just a world away from here
And I will never bother you no more
i've had enough of this.
you're all the same to me.
i want to be alone.
eat me alive with your sickenss.
hypocrisy, cold the blood that courses though me.
so should i let it go?
my veins run sand that won't pass.
you were supposed to be my only cure.
and i've had enough of this.
you're all the same to me.
i want to be alone.
eat me alive with your sickness.
you were supposed to be my only cure.
you were supposed to be the one to take her place.
sorry about tomorrow, i'm not sorry about today.
this eats me alive.
i'm going to say what i want to say.
you were my one true cure, my only love.
you were my one true pain, my only hate.
you were supposed to be there.
you were supposed to be the truth.
you were supposed to take her place.
you were supposed to be my solitude, solitude.
sorry about tomorrow, i'm not sorry about today.
this eats me alive.
i'm going to say what i want to say.
you were my one true cure, my only pain.
you were my one true pain, my only hate, my only hate.
my only cure, my only pain.
i hate you, i love you.
my only cure, my only pain.
you are a smart one
saying things that can't be undone
and it shows.
you don't know what goes on here.
you don't know what happens each time
my breastplate and armor fall, they fall.
desperately abandoning
the hopes that brought you here so far.
if you think you can save just one,
you've failed them all.
why don't you just see me through this one?
it would be okay.
if you choose to be the one to release me
how could i say no?
breaking down and on your knees,
you've grasped for the things that are just out of reach.
but it's the ledge that's so far away.
the truth that you reach for the reasons to stay.
in that instance you make your choice,
drop your blanket, resound your voice.
this is God.
You have always seen the best parts of me
With my uncovered eyes
Loose from lenses, Absorbing Light
Your hand is wrapped in mine
The sun set for the last time
Carpet stains from coffee cups
thrown to stop from hurting so much
Paralyzed I thought I'd fail
you somehow, and let you down
But you saved me from Death
Awake and alive for the first time
Joining as voices sing
You've buried me here
And I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking.
You've hidden the keys to sleep.
The sweet careful lines we've crossed
And now we never can go back.
This is what I felt, just being myself,
But I know that you wouldn't stay.
Standing at my car with my reasons spent,
As you drove and made your escape.
The silence crushing me, like I swore it would,
And I'm left watching...
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason
that you came at all).
I'm here sinking and now we never can go back.
I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was
a poor choice at best.
This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made
at my expense.
You swore this was right,
It was better that you're leaving but I'm here with...
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason
that you came at all)
And I'm here with my curbside goodbye.
This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight
As I stay awake to watch the day start without you.
I'm here sinking, now we can never go back.
My foundation crippled and cracked.
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt.
Two people dissolve into words.
Red lights fading out as you drive back to your house.
The way I've gone a hundred times before,
But now I'm left behind to make all of this make sense.
And now your voice is haunting me,
Just out of reach, it buries me.
Is this the better off that you meant?
The way I've gone a hundred times before,
But now I'm left behind to make all of this make sense.
And now your voice is haunting me,
Just out of reach, it buries me,
It buries me
I'm the guy that dies at the beginning of the movie.
I'm the one who never makes it out of the cave.
It's because just when I have got everything going
for me baby, you come around and take it all away.
It's true, I'd do anything for you.
She asked if this is cool.
What did you say?
I played it like a fool.
Oh, no!
It's like I've said before, I could die tonight
for just one kiss more.
On the brink, about to sink.
I'm drowning baby and I can't think
Of a way to pull myself back to shore.
It's your face I can't take,
and my knees are about to buckle
The same way as they did
the night you walked through my door.
It's true, I'd do anything for you.
She asked if this is cool.
What did you say?
I played it like a fool.
Oh, no!
It's like I've said before, I could die tonight
for just one kiss more.
Every time my eyes are closing there is just one word.
Once it's spoken, my eyes open,
and I'm yours to serve.
When your world tries
to blow itself up from the inside,
I will dig a foxhole for two.
So you know that I will always be there for you,
And maybe you would find a love for me too.
It's true, I'd do anything for you.
She asked if this is cool.
What did you say?
I played it like a fool.
Oh, no!
It's like I've said before, I could die tonight
for just one kiss more.
One kiss more.
Oh, my darling.
My love, just one.
Just one.
This is what comes of the best intentions we have
They get lost with the rest and soon forgotten
And the money we spend is to make amends
For the time that we've never
To make amends for the time that we've never given
We all feel real inside our skin
With selfish hearts that hide our sin
But everyone that runs a race can't win
We all, we all
feel real, feel real
Inside, our skin.
If God is good, then what are we?
There is no plant without a seed
When morning comes, will we believe
All that was lost can be retrieved?
You say you're good, then let me see
A faith is dead without the deed.
How can we fail if we believe?
Let's be who we were meant to be.
We all feel real inside our skin
With selfish hearts that hide our sin
But no one really knows our deepest secrets
We will separate ourselves from everyone that we know
We can't allow a single doubt or weakness to show
And just one more day without the shame
And I can move on.
I'll be happier, happier when I've...
We say, we're so misunderstood,
(We will separate ourselves from everyone that we know)
but I know we don't do the things we should
(We can't allow a single doubt or weakness to show)
So long to what I thought I was
(And just one more day without the shame and I can move
I'll be happier, happier when I've given up.
Wisdom light my way into the dark
Your words, the melody that carries me
We can't make a change 'til we know who we are
What burns? The fire refining me
Wisdom light my way into the dark
The melody that carries me
We can't make a change, know who we are
The fire refining me
Watch your makeup,
there is just a smudge beneath the eye.
You look great in that dress,
it hits every curve just right.
We're got dinner at eight, and then drinks by nine.
I love you so, it's out anniversary tonight.
Suddenly everything shakes as if it's starting to break.
And now I'm on my knees,
my wife screams, "What's Wrong!?"
As the stereo plays our song,
Only In Dreams.
Just last Friday is when my heart failed again.
I was thinking that I should find a friend.
I bought her several drinks,
and slipped the ring into my hand.
We drove to her place
and let the good times roll again.
Suddenly everything shakes as my protection breaks.
And now I'm on my knees,
and I scream, "This was wrong!"
As I leave, the stereo plays the song,
The Finishing.
Is this it? Is this how I have spent my life?
Lying there with a broken heart on bedroom floors.
And finally, finally, I realize,
I realize that I'm only a man.
I'm only a man.
I'm only a man.
I'm only a man.
(One thing I have to know, where did the miracles go?
And if a simple man believes, will it start again with me?)
(If I were the maker I would fashion out a blade.
To cut out every inch of dead heart I've made.)
I'm watching this screen
These lies played out before my eyes
And how they know everything
Everything comes easy
Well I never had it easy
I was never lucky
It was never easy
And you sit there
And you judge my commitment
(One thing I have to know, where did the miracles go?
And if a simple man believes, will it start again with me?)
(If I were the maker I would fashion out a blade.
To cut out every inch of dead heart I've made.)
You people could say that I'm the bad guy
Because I was weak
I was weak once or twice
Well let me tell you
I'm standing in the lead
I am standing in the lead
I fell in love with the world
(She gave me) everything that I deserve
(I had) all that I wanted and more, right in my hands
(Some things just never last)
She ran away with the sun
(I guess) the moon and the stars must have followed along
'Cause I'm here in the cold and the dark until she returns
(Lie because the truth really hurts)
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I'm not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall
The crooks and the priests, they all gather around
They tie up my hands, but they won't hear me out
No I’m not the one, I’m not the one to blame
(They will murder me just the same)
She hung her promises, I took the bait
She sold us out just for fortune and fame
No she’s not the one, she’s not the one to save
(We’re the fools that fell into her game)
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I’m not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I’m not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall
So is this what it takes to separate the craving from the purpose?
Measured by success and not the motives of the heart
And we are crushed beneath the weight of all the pressure that is put on
our shoulders but..
We could be honest, confess our weakness
Give up our innocence for the blame
We could be saved..
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I’m not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I’m not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
You'll raise the daughter and she'll raise the son
You'll live like two people that wish they were one
Now she may not be perfect
But, oh my friend, neither are you
You feel like you're waiting for somebody to
Remind you of all the things that you're supposed to do
Careful what you reach for
One more step and you're falling through
Your family's a joke and your job is your life
The time spent without them is time spent most every night
Get your house in order
'Cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride
You can't stop
You can't stop the killer
You can't stop
You can't stop the killer
I work my hands right down to the bone
Still you don't give me what I want
You are so ungrateful
We're more like a house than a home, oh
Please, dear, understand
I'm sorry again for all that I said
But how could you leave?
I swear that I'll be a better man
So go ahead and run, run
Run from the man with the gun in his hand
Darling, I would shoot you
Before I would ever let you leave, oh, dear God
In a certain place I've kept my outs
One for us both, two for my doubts
I'm shaking, I'm hollow because
I know how to get this done
So I will be the only one to follow
To follow through with this
In a certain place I've kept my outs
One for us both, two for my doubts
I'm shaking, I'm hollow because
I know how to get this done
So I will be the only one to follow
To follow through with this
You kneel beside her at the foot of the grave
Your daughter is crying and you say she's in a better place
She was never perfect
In your brilliance, you became the only voice you trust
If it's true then I'm dead, right where I stand
Was the plan always this vicious
You thought that your faith would carry you home
But it left me there in the waiting room alone
As I planned what to say, to the ones I'd be leaving
All praise and honor seem so far away
I never saw this coming you can lose what you found
And here comes the breakdown
Careful, careful watch your mouth
You're talking like your such the innocent (accidents, accidents are we all?)
These words will be the death of you
This I swear this I know
The blame will find your hands
The blame has found these hands
It's hard to live this, to know if I mean it
To let you know you have me, that I never can forget it
And these last words I say here
Are the last words that I will share (last words that I will share)
So God I'm asking you do you even care
My hands are shaking and they won't stop, as the world becomes a hospital room
I am not the one to ever disappear, but it's over now (over now)
Say it for the last time, one last time
I want to let go of this world for you
Careful, careful watch your mouth
You're talking like your such the innocent (accidents, accidents are we all?)
These words will be the death of you
This I swear this I know
The blame will find your hands
The blame has found these hands
Hands held toward the sky
In the cool air of October
The whispers were always there
But they never caught up to your words
So will December find me all alone
The wishful face of the believer
Hope, but there is doubt that bleeds through
Still, I am arrested by your presence
Run you coward, you run
These words crippled my confidence
The hymn I can't escape from
This is over and done with
This race has made me more than weary, I am dead
I created everything here that I wanted to see
So was that your plan, to leave me out?
We were all reciting messages and pushing repeat
But this world you made does it let you breath
Does it let you feel anything but yourself?
When was the last time
Does it let you breathe?
Does it let you feel anything but yourself?
When was the last time you saw anyone else?
Whispers and echoes of love fading
The plans you made, you wanted it
The bitter taste, you wanted it
What god became you wanted it
But the one thing you need you'll never get
There was more of you and less of me
You blamed it on the chemistry
Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
They were just calendar days
I'm sure it's all written down
But if you'll let me just ask
Is this how you bring the crowd to their feet?
You hurt because it wasn't about you
About me?
You're always scared the floor is gonna give way
I call the shots
We could end this, we could end this
Don't you ever tell me what I've got
Whispers and echoes of love fading
The plans you made, you wanted it
The bitter taste, you wanted it
What god became you wanted it
But the one thing you need you'll never get
There was more of you and less of me
You blamed it on the chemistry
Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
I wanted, I wanted, I wanted, I wanted this
You made it such a lonely world
Such a very lonely world
You bent the answers into questions
You let the voice go unheard
And you couldn't trust yourself
Cause what if everything you felt
Meant this was not yours alone
Every single word, every single little word that was said
And all the simple fears
And all the nights that you cried in your bed
Hoping I was there but you told yourself
You're old and alone
But you were never the widow you left on your own
I was washed in the blood
I was born of a spirit but I drowned
When you found me out there
Rejoice, Rejoice the old King is dead
Long live the new king
I am the new king
Whispers and echoes of love fading
The plans you made, you wanted it
The bitter taste, you wanted it
What god became you wanted it
But the one thing you need you'll never get
There was more of you and less of me
You blamed it on the chemistry
Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
You got me falling in love with what's next
The personality's a casualty but I'm impressed
With the way you control the verbs
I'm moving in and out with words
Slow, slow down. We don't have to rush.
How profound is the sequence perception to the touch.
Is it just me or does this routine ever get inside your head?
And tell you all the little things you wish had been said?
That you wish had been said?
When, when will I be old enough to do as I please?
These late nights are getting old.
There are better ways to your knees.
Mommy always had you buttoned up.
We were daddy's little peach.
When will I be old enough?
When will I be old enough, to do as I please?
You got me here. But you've got me wrong (You've got me wrong)
I'm not a cannibal but I cannot say I won't eat one of my own.
But with words slurred, I confess:
This smile isn't based on your subtle wit, but the cut of your dress.
It makes that ugly morning seem so far away.
And if it ever comes at all, I'll know just what to say.
When, when will I be old enough to do as I please?
These late nights are getting old.
There are better ways to your knees.
Mommy always had you buttoned up.
We were daddy's little peach.
When will I be old enough?
When will I be old enough, to do as I please?
To do as I please?
To do as I please?
So wake up. Wake up its the morning.
Another eight hours and the day's left you wanting reprieve.
Or at least religion.
But just relax, 'cause everyone's sinning.
Last night. The drinks. The words.
The kiss. The car. The apartment.
The cab fare. Fake digits.
Your hair. Your make up.
Your high heels, impeccable.
And all of it just to sit
with some wannabe's and counterfeits.
How respectable. How respectable.
Let's turn the lights on.
Let's turn the lights on.
Let's turn the lights on.
Let's turn the lights on, now.
When will I be old enough? (to do as I please)
Mommy had you buttoned up (We were daddy's little peach)
When will I be old enough? (When will I be)
When will I be?
This is a waking up, this is your final go
And I would never wanna see you get torn apart
I can't believe it, I can't believe you're a part of this world
You were a sick, sad man from the start
And now you?re not even worth my time
I can't be stopped, I'll just keep going all the way
You will try but you will fail, just say
It's over and it's done with
I drove around Chicago, headed to Champaign
I passed right through the country
Where the corn is as high as any God has ever made
I saw a man beside the road he said
"Excuse me, sir, I think I've lost my way?
And I told him as I pulled back on the road
And headed south, "I've got no time to waste?
I said, "I guess you don't have faith?
I guess you don't have faith
I guess you don't have faith
Does it matter anyway?
It's the way, it's the way you wanted
Everything, everything in its place
It's the way, in the way you wanted
Everything, everything in its place
I guess you don't have faith
I guess you don't have faith
I guess you don't have faith
This is a waking up, this is your final call
So don't you expect me to be there when you fall
Well, I know you like the party but the party never stops
I know you like the party but the party never stops
Well, I know you, I know you, I know you
I know you wanna be here so you just let go
And no one?s ever gonna tell you no
But I want to ?cause I know you, I know you
But you party on, party on
Get your party on, get your party on
This is my last advice, leave with me
?Cause you could die tonight
I got this, I got this, I got this so go ahead home
The drugs you used as a place to hide
It?s really bad if you don?t get this right
I got this, I got this, I got this, I don?t need you
You got kicked out of your mother's house
You stole money from her purse
She finally found you out
You should be ashamed, don't sit there judging me
What a waste, you'd be the same if you could see
So let?s have another drink
And we'll party on, party on
Get your party on, get your party on
This is my last advice, leave with me
?Cause you could die tonight
I got this, I got this, I got this so go ahead home
The drugs you used as a place to hide
It?s really bad if you don?t get this right
I got this, I got this, I got this, I don?t need you
February is still as scary
The month your father died
A little girl in a shrinking world
Looking for her place to run and hide
I know you like the party but the party never stops
I know you like the party but the party never stops
Well, I know you, I know you, I know you
But you party on, party on
Get your party on, get your party on
Give it one last night ?cause this is all you?ve got
This is my last advice, leave with me
?Cause you could die tonight
I got this, I got this, I got this so go ahead home
The drugs you used as a place to hide
It?s really bad if you don?t get this right
You wanna swim in the river, I wanna dance in the summer
You've always been the believer, I'm always left to wonder
The water is rushing so fast, I think it will take us under
Oh, what thought did you recall
That would make you say my name?
Oh, the water is so deep, our friends say don't go
But my mouth betrays me and says hold on
And now I know this is the pain of believing
The danger is real and there's no easy way out
How did I get here? You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking
We're gonna drown in a river, I cannot swim any farther
My blood is pumping so fast, my heart and limbs underwater
Then I reach and find your hand in mine
And they say you will be saved, but no, I pull and I pull and I pull
But your foot, it's anchored deep
Your face tells me you won't be free
And now I know this is the pain of believing
The danger is real and there's no easy way out
How did I get here? You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking, oh
I decided long ago
Never let your loved ones know
Who you really are, who you really are
People want the truth but never want the scars
And now I'm here with my best friend dying
And I'm the one that's still lying
And you say it's gonna be okay
Over and over, and over and over, and over and over again
River wash me clean
River wash me clean
River wash me clean
And my heart left my chest so forgive me
As you leave to find that next something new
But I can't for the life of me remember
When you changed your words from
I love you to saying you don't know
Just know that you can't take back what you've said
Darling I'm not in the forgiving mood
You kept on replying it was all in my head
Well, you're just a liar and I've got the proof
I've got the proof
So with these few words you'll erase me
Two years of our lives meant nothing to you
But this fool that you made of me has a lesson learned
You can't trust a lover who was never a friend
Just know that you can't take back what you've said
Darling I'm not in the forgiving mood
You kept on replying it was all in my head
Well, you're just a liar and I've got the proof
I've got the proof
I would have offered my life
Taken you home, made you my wife
But hearing you now filling your mouth
With the cowards lies, you're just a disguise
Of the girl of my dreams but I know she's waiting for me
So I'll open my eyes to the day that's before me
Take me
(Far from all that's wrong and)
Let these
(Fears collapse inside)
Take me
(Back to when I)
Believed
And as a little boy
He tried to hide his eyes
With reeds and rituals
With paper and a knife
The fire will always burn
The skin and forgery
An answer when you won't
The bloodless hands of fear
He didn't know
(He didn't know)
He didn't know
(He didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
He didn't know
(He didn't know)
He didn't know
(He didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
Someone had a knife
(Someone had a knife)
Took away my eyes
(My eyes)
The last time is right now
This choice will take or make everything
Your face is fading out
Wash those days
From your eyes
And let them fall away
Drown the fear that holds you
Wash those days
From your eyes
And let them fall away
Change that
He felt the wake
Of torrid days
Ushered through
By warm mistakes
Suddenly
(Suddenly)
His broken feet
(His broken feet)
Took their rest
On bended knee
(On bended knee)
He didn't know
(He didn't know)
He didn't know
(He didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
He didn't know
(He didn't know)
He didn't know
(He didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
He was hungry
Someone had a knife
(Someone had a knife)
Took away my eyes
(My eyes)
The last time is right now
This choice will take or make everything
Your face is fading out
I won't stand here
This dance won't stop the music
Your promise will help me lead
Until the end
If this is the last time
(What words)
I won't forget you
(Have you to)
Exhale the last breath
(Say)
Tear down the statues
This scar will remain here
(Before we)
To mark where we severed
(Spill this)
My hands from your hands
(Blood)
Your hands from my heart
If this
(This time you will be)
Is the last time
(Be afraid)
If this
(You've lost me)
Is the last time
(Your plan failed)
This is the last time
This is the last time
Your self destruction has become mine
Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes
Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories
You forsake all loyalties for lies
You're too late to decide
This can't go right
Cause I got this tonight,
I got this tonight
I wondered how hurt you'd be (the words we've become)
After you read this (were they yours or mine)
Did it even speed your heart beat (is that what you thought)
Or make you nervous? (thought that you would find)
I need to say this (what you waited for)
The best parts were hush, hush (tonight)
The best parts were pure luck (tonight)
But I swore that this time
I was more than your hook up
Those vacant eyes looking back
To see your words under my skin
And I am more than a moment
But I had to give in
A person gets just one chance
To say what they really mean
You said yours, I'll say mine
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
The best years have passed you by
The best years have already passed
You forsake all loyalties for lies
You forsake all loyalties for lies
Your penny thoughts of leaving (I can still hear the sound)
Together from this town (we can work this out)
Convinced the boy inside me (with the last of my strength)
To let his guard down (I said everything)
You played me so well (enjoy your time left)
I didn't notice when the floor fell (without the blame)
From underneath my feet
I thought we were floating
Those vacant eyes looking back
To see your words under my skin
And I am more than a moment
But I had to give in
A person gets just one chance
To say what they really mean
You said yours, I'll say mine
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
The best years have passed you by
The best years have already passed you by
Is this the world passing by?
Or is it turning, turning?
This is the first time that I have ever looked inside myself
It was the first time that I ever looked inside myself
Now the world beneath my feet is turning, turning
Oh, this silly world keeps turning, turning away
All this time the world I knew was turning, turning
All this time that I loved you
Every once in a while I think I'm lying
And take it to the bank, I believe every word I say
Then again this is when you start your prying
But there's a thought it could be true
But this just isn't how I imagined it would be
With these random people just asking the most personal things
And to think that somehow I could always come clean
And you shake your head just like you know what I mean
You're a Christian, tell the sinner to find repentance
It's your last chance
You believer, where's your patience? Answer questions put on faces
To see if it's right or wrong to listen to this song
I don't want you too
And see if you're okay with all the words I say
It can't be this way
Somehow, someone's more equal than others
Depending on the words we choose to say
A glance at her too long tonight
But everything I am saying's right in your ears
We are all the sisters and the brothers
Until we find we don't believe the same
Like Gary's getting drunk to forget Sarah
Sarah's stealing money from her parents
Aaron's lying straight to Jon about Megan
And the things that went on
Jessica's a gossip, Laura is a slut
Derrick hits Bridget, Ben deals drugs
Seth spends all his money gambling
Joey stopped praying, it's all the same thing
We are all the same people
With sinning hearts that make us equal
Here's my hand, not words said desperately
These are the words I will say
This is the story I'll tell
When I speak your name
But you'd probably like it yourself
That's what I never could take
You wanted me when you wanted me
And the rest was just a waste of your time
I'll say the words that you won't
I thought you'd love me but you don't, you don't
And now as two become three
If you're hurting I can't see
And you're taking what's left of me
For what it's worth I believed (every word that you said)
So here is what I will say (with these last wasted breaths)
Take, take, take, take back your promises
And those sweet kisses
That I thought were only for me
To find myself at the end,
Of these lines that you're selling, it's telling
I would have always gave in
But those late nights and phone calls
Whispering everything I'd ever want
For what it's worth I believed (every word that you said)
So here is what I will say (with these last wasted breaths)
Take, take, take, take back your promises
And those sweet kisses
That I thought were only for me
You've dug, my heart out of me
I thought you'd love me but you don't 'cause
You've dug, my heart out of me
I waited for you to answer why
But waiting's not a reply
This is the story I'll tell
You wanted me when you wanted me (you wanted me)
For what it's worth I believed (every word that you said)
So here is what I will say (with these last wasted breaths)
Take, take, take, take back your promises
And those sweet kisses
on the way to grey
i could hardly wait
to see you again
to feel your hands
covering me
til the storm is done
what seemed to be the end
was not the end at all
when i hear the rain
should i be afraid
for my, for my
for my... life
why do you look at me that way?
i told you
that i was too busy to see you
i would never
keep a secret from you
from you
from you
is it over?
i am fine
thank you dearly
for your time
i'll be leaving
don't you cry
i'll be back soon
at least i'll try
can't you see
there is no time to think
selfishly
yesterday's gone
tomorrow's here
can't turn back now
i won't quit
i still love you
i swear
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Where's the great white Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what i need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
I the mountains neath the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I can swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
and the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Three sleepless nights,
this isn't how its supposed to be.
But you are so good at
taking your time to get back to me.
I will wait for you forever,
if you would just ask me.
I thought that I could change you
but you changed me.
But it doesn't feel right,
holding someone else's hand.
Together on phone line,
and living at two opposite ends.
It scares me to think,
that you could find takers other than me
and better than me.
But you're head is elsewhere,
and I’m talking enough for both of us.
When will you see it's not (it’s not) so easy for me
you’re careless, and whispered, insulting, and bruising.
And I thought that you said
things were improving.
These laces are untied,
but my feet are still walking away.
(I fall from you eyes, your eyes I trusted, you said forever)
I never thought that you could say these words.
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say that we can...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say that we can still be...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words.
Is this really happening?
(Don't say that we can still be friends)
Erase my name from this page.
How can you take all these days
(What is inside of me what have I done?)
and throw them away
(Is this the only way that you will notice me?)
as I sit here waiting for you (for you)
(Dead words for closed ears all this is sung for you)
I stay up nights
(If you are still pretending this is what's right)
until stars leave the sky
(Why cant you look at me can you only see?)
knowing what my dreams can take away
(Sides, your side, can take away)
Walk away from me.
We've all got something to say,
when we open our mouths we have someone to blame.
We all have demons to face.
Situations evolve into something we can't explain.
It's like a thorn in my mind.
Digging deeper and deeper and killing the love that it finds.
My hearts a complex machine.
When it breaks it takes more
than the doctors and technology to fix me.
Fix me. Can you fix me?
I've been waiting so long to feel this heartbeat.
Will we ever really believe?
We're just caught in the thought that we're said to be free.
Last night, a gift to repay.
With a handful of money, and words we can say.
There is no proper remark to be made that can change
and determine who we really are.
Fix me. Can you fix me?
I've been waiting so long to feel this heartbeat.
Will we ever really believe?
We're just caught in the thought that we're said to be free.
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
Does it make me understand what you've done?
How could I ever question you?
How could I ever doubt what you do?
Maybe this will tear me apart.
But maybe I'll go back to the start.
And honestly I can't believe that this is really happening.
Fix me. Jesus, fix me.
I've been waiting so long to feel this heartbeat.
Will we ever really believe?
We're just caught in the thought that we're said to be free.
Fix me. Father, fix me.
I've been waiting so long to feel this heartbeat.
Will we ever really believe?
Nothing's so loud as hearing when we lie
The truth is not kind and you've said neither am I
But the air outside so soft is saying everything, everything
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say
Nothing's so cold as closing the heart when
All we need is to free the soul but we wouldn't be that brave I know
And the air outside so soft, confessing everything, everything
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say, yeah
And it won't matter now whatever happens to me
Though the air it speaks of all we'll never be, it won't trouble me
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
Turn the cheval glass and find, corruption under my skin, and mine
You're so far from safety, put your fingers to your eyes
And steal yourself away
Repetition [x2]
It will not be satisfied [x2]
You can not accomplish this
You can not be satisfied
The worst isn't ever the curse of the cleverest lines
Sang the song of never, never believed that you meant it this time
[Chorus:]
It's time to back all your big words, so come on now, come on now
But you're all lipstick and cheap skirts, you're the shining light until it hurts
Tonight, I'll make this bleed light up the sky with my misdeeds
Cause I hate I hate I hate this, I hate this
I fell from the first time
Fall was upon us with all the leaves turning, you were so sure of yourself
You were asking me questions of us getting older
You hardly could catch your breath (I wanted anything else)
And I've asked, for the after remorse (To stay)
And still these hands, but it never takes, never takes
Old habits are so hard to break
So you fall, and circle through your life, that can't be seen
Avoid the brilliant lights that find you
Because when they do, you know you'll have to
[Chorus:]
It's time to back all your big words, so come on now, come on now
But you're all lipstick and cheap skirts, you're the shining light until it hurts
Tonight, I'll make this bleed light up the sky with my misdeeds
Cause I hate I hate I hate this, I hate this
I fell from the first time
There's not enough wisdom or perception
Judge this now, take back your life
You are dying and the time you spent was wasted
On all the sick dreams of the lie (the lie, the lie)
Pull yourself out, made yourself in your own image
The praise you gave thousands of time
Lifted yourself up to the sky (the sky)
Bow before all that you've done
