3 cigarettes deeper and deeper
I've been drinking more and eating less
It's a mess without you laying here
It's a mess without you laying here
I know it can be all right if I just wait it out and try to rest
It's a mess without you laying here
I'm a mess, I'm a mess, I am a mess
I'm in a corner in a pit, they can shock it or what
Do you care are you there are you listening
Ill smash my head against the wall
I'll stab every picture in its heart
You're a snake and your slithering along
I could ask myself a thousand times a night
Why am I ever for someone else's lies
And I could ask myself a thousand times but why
Why do I blame my self
We don't have to blame ourselves.
I'm in a corner in a pit, they can shock it or what
Do you care are you there are you listening
Ill smash my head against the wall
I'll stab every picture in its heart
You're a snake and you're slithering
For the thought that I can escape with the wind
A cold heart, bad blood and I've been bitten, I've been bitten
I could ask myself a thousand times a night
Why am I ever for someone else's lies
Why do I blame myself
We don't have to blame ourselves
We don't have to blame ourselves
Noooo, Noooo, oooohh noooo.
It's all going away
I could ask myself a thousand times a night

Calluses, forming from the numbing touch.
A painful price, payable, I am alive. A powerful glance that consumes you in image.
Images reflect what some of us have been fighting for. A fight that goes on until the day the sound dies.
Fearless and brave we attack head on until the sound from another dies. Counting down. Just a few more days until it's time to throw away everything. Nothing left behind. Such a painful price, payable with feeling. And I'm alive. Press on move out. An older image to consume. You'll come back, faithful, resting on that image.

"Take me, take me", they yell in despair
The ocean waves will swallow all of us, all hope is lost
Eyes bulging wide at the end of the ropes
And the victims can clearly see someone fall below
Questioning, questioning, can a hero be of help?
I'll be right here waiting
Mother, young child and an easy way out
Guards making decisions of who stays, who stays behind?
The boy shuts his eyes, tells his mother goodbye
She's screaming out his name as he slips below
Questioning, questioning, can a hero be of help?
I'll be right here waiting
Answer me, answer me, every hero's here to help
I'll be right here waiting, right here waiting
Take me, take me
The boys shuts his eyes, hugs his mother goodbye
She's screaming out his name as he slips below
Questioning, questioning, can a hero be of help?
I'll be right here waiting
Answer me, answer me, every hero's here to help
I'll be right here waiting, right here waiting
Right here waiting, I'm right here waiting

Down the road,
Looming road
I won't wait for you, I won't wait for you
I hope your sitting, while you read this
Stuck in a world, this is the last you'll see of me.
Dearest Mistake, I can't forgive it, one things for sure:
He's not worth your time and heart.
Down the road
Looming road
Won't wait for you
Right now, I hate myself. I want you to want him.
As we move on and we look back
We both knew the truth, we were as wrong as wrong could be
Even at our worst, somehow we made it work
Those days are gone, since been cheated by three dull words
Down the road,
Looming road
I won't wait for you
I won't wait for you.
Right now I hate myself.
I don't want you to want him.
Somehow I changed myself
I don't want you to want him
I don't want you, no
I don't want you., I don't.
Right now, I hate myself.
I don't want you to want him, No

Screaming through ghostly whispers. Crying out. Breaking through impatiently. Puzzled and alone. Attempts to hold together are letting go. I have let go. Figures scatter the pavement, eyes half closed. Breathing turns to shaking. Wake me up.
Can you wake me up? Wake me up before it's over.
Now clouds scatter with a purpose, black and low. Wounded rain consistently, puzzled and alone. And I can't seem to bare hoping for...
Ghosts in the wind.

THE SLEEPING LYRICS
"Don't Hold Back"
Yeah, open,
now let me see the way you work it.
Let me see you work it.
Just lay down.
You've got me right here where I need it.
I'll hold out just as long as you.
Don't worry, don't worry, we are
We're weak in the knees and I can't take this.
Heat stroke, our burning bodies melt away.
Just work it, just work it, I've been
I've been waiting, I've been waiting, I've been craving away. I need this.
I will hold out just as long as you.
(Tonight is the night we sink wishes deep into our skin.)
Don't hold back, hold nothing back tonight.
Oh, we'll let it take control using you tonight.
Don't hold back, hold nothing back tonight.
Oh, we'll let it take control using you tonight.
Oh yeah!
Are you nervous?
Spending your days away in space,
thicker than air, than air.
We've been waiting, we've been waiting, we've been craving away. We need this.
I'll hold out just as long as you.
(Tonight is the night we examine ourselves. This is sick.)
Don't hold back, hold nothing back tonight.
Oh, we'll let it take control using you tonight.
Don't hold back, hold nothing back tonight.
Oh, we'll let it take control using you tonight.
Stop.
Work. Work. Just let this work.
Just let it take control, using you tonight.
Oh, just let it take control, using you tonight.
Just let it take control, using you tonight.
Just let it take control, using you tonight.
Don't hold back, hold nothing back tonight.
Oh, we'll let it take control using you to me.
Don't hold back, hold nothing back tonight, tonight
We'll let it take control using you tonight.
Yeah, open,
now let me see the way you work it.

"Breathing, did you get the guns? Can you feel the burning sun, frozen in your veins? If I go I pray that you will rescue me. A bond in blood I won't have to rescuse myself.
Rescue myself or it's a crying shame.
Ten casual steps to the door.
Keep those nervous eyes on me. Timing is everything. Now this place is ours. So slide your feelings across the floor. Cut off all communication and wish for home.
Now give me everything inside. Gripping your heart. Penetrate the combination with caution. Slowly open up. Giving me everything.

"It's been a rough few months, and I'm so exhausted I can barely keep my head up. I've been spilling onto floors, like clumsy bottles from sweaty palms as useless as my own.
So I stay in bed crying. I'd rather cry to lifeless heirlooms than assume somebody cares. But I'm getting tired in hopes that sleep could hit me sooner than a pillow to this dying breath. And I'm cold. And I'm getting so cold."

One day gone, life's not the same without you.
We can all be strong.
But strength can't bring back the one's we've lost.
Holding on, moments will last always inside of our hearts
But what good are hearts when their Beatz have stopped?
My friend it hurts that you're gone.
You should still be here.
The world knows it wasn't your time.
Taken away and screaming, "Don't go, don't."
We know you're needed here with us.
It's so hard moving on.
We wake up everyday without a friend,
knowing it wasn't his time.
Passing on
We know that you're looking out for us all.
Still, so hard to believe that you're not with us.
You can't bring back the ones you've lost.
You can't bring back the ones you've lost.
You belong down here smiling wide.
Don't go.
No, don't go.
You belong down here smiling wide.

[people talking in a noisy room]
[drums]
[people start chanting "If your heart was broken... you would be dead"]

Who were you there with?
Cause' I swear I've seen him before
Though in the distance, I just turn my head away
We parted clinging to the same trends,
Makes sense to a girl who cries at least twice a day, cause she's unhappy.
We could of made it. A couple of deep breaths.
There was a light, we could of reached it, there was a light.
Though all this pain and aggrivation,
Causes me to feel that I, was just a card dealt out of spite.
Well I called your bluff..
Get with it, get with it,
Did you think that I was blind enough to not realize?
Well better luck next, better luck next time.
Why was it, why was it, everytime that we would have it out you wouldn't cry?
You'd just place your bet, make the call, go run and hide.
Who were you there with?
Cause' I smell him on your skin.
Though in an instant, i just turn my face in shame.
Now on the edge of demonstration,
A suspicious feel that I was just a card dealt out of spite.
Well I called your bluff...
Get with it, get with it,
Did you think that I was blind enough to not realize?
Well better luck next, better luck next time.
Why was it, why was it, everytime that we would have it out you wouldn't cry?
You'd just place your bet, make the call, go run and hide.
My heart isnt broken,
And I'm not,
Tear My heart isn't broken,
And I'm not,
Tear My heart isn't broken,
And I'm not,
Tear My heart isn't broken,
And I'm not,
Tear My heart isn't broken,
And I'm not,
Tear my heart isn't broken,
And I'm not
Tear my heart isn't broken,
And I'm not,
Tear my heart isn't broken,

Sleeping, going nowhere
Is nowhere that good?
Falling ever so slow
I can’t even feel the air
Please, try to wake me in the morning
‘Cause I don’t want to miss this
A day of my life here
It is what I get
Now, see the sun
Ease my day, laugh it away
Is laughter that good?
Sights and sounds, slipping away
I can’t even read my mind
Please, try to wake me in the morning
‘Cause I don’t want to miss this
A day of my life here
It is what I get
Now, see the sun
Well, I thought I saw a shine
It was devilish and unkind
It was far too clear
I had to make it mine
Please, try to wake me in the morning
‘Cause I don’t want to miss this
A day of my life here
It is what I get

Stories and pages blended in your bookmarks of memories and cover-ups condense us until we burn away. Presses with ink as red as lips feeling a fault smashing against our cheek, deceiving our open eyes and front page love.
Gaining back what's lost is gone when columns turn to stone.
Believe what we tell you. Keep flipping pages, build up reactions. Believe what we tell you. Frequencies flowing, build up reactions.
Headliners flash across our eyes deleting honesty through hidden lines. A barrier of what is truth slowly dissolves. But these times call for building up reactions to keep you from being told.

It's cold tonight. The silver poles, like icicles, stuck to our skin and won't let go. And these seats alone might as well be covered up with a foot of snow because getting up seems so difficult. As sad as it seems to me just sitting down, witnessing a silence come back.
Why can't everything be alright? To get away, run. With these walls so dark and I am calling out.
Reactions through airwaves, stronger, silence.
The anger is swarming, a sickness, a fault, never again will I try. To see through the faults of hopeless lives failing to shine.

Your peaceful soul helps me to tame my fears
Your precious world keeps me warm under its wings
Oh, you, my Sweet
Keep an eye on my sleep
Preserve me from my tormenting sorrows
Your such sweet scent ceases the pain deep in me
Your soft temper stops the wind biting my cheeks
Through my sorrow, you help me like a guide

"They can't be back," he said
A chilling wind from the living room
"Oh how can this be?
I thought I buried them in electricity"
And then the radio turned on without a trace
A haunting memory upon the man's face
As he said, "They're coming back, they're coming back"
Cold haunting memories
Back, back, back, back through the radio
Now who is listening tonight?
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Man's last words, man's last words are perfect.
When nothing is said at all
Scared speechless
The man's head in his hands, his shaky hands,
But let truth be known he wasn't always afraid
Oh no, no, that coward used to talk, talk, talk, talk,
Sync his lips to the sound of empty promises
"Oh, they're coming back, they're coming back"
Cold haunting memories
Back, back, back, back through the radio
Now who is listening tonight?
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Man's last words, man's last words are perfect
When nothing is said at all
Back, back, back
Back, back, back
Back, back, back
"They can't, they can't, they can't be back," he said
A chilling wind from the living room
"Oh how can this be?
I thought I buried them in electricity"
Oh that coward used to talk, talk, talk, sync his lips
Now there is no way he's going to live through this
"They have come back, they have come back!"
Back, back, back, back through the radio
Now who is listening tonight?
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Man's last words, man's last words are perfect
When nothing is said at all
The have come back
Now who's listening?

Hey Kid I see your feeling so confused, confused.
She can't breath or believe shes useless
Right off the edge she'll walk
Just listen close you'll hear her screaming
Take me. Take me. Who's gonna miss me when I'm gone?
Our hardest times, hold on.
Alone, even though shes so confused, confused.
And just wants to believe she needs and cuts deep you'll never know (know, know, know)
Just listen close you'll hear her screaming (take me, take me)
Who's gonna miss me when I'm gone
Our hardest times hold on.
So tired so we yawn, our hardest times hold on.
Keep holding on.
Take me. Take me. Who's gonna miss me when I'm gone?
Our hardest times, hold on.
Take me. Take me. Who's gonna miss me when I'm gone?
Our hardest times, hold on.
Take me. Take me. Who's gonna miss me when I'm gone?

old man where have you been?
can't you see that i've grown a bit cold?
pulling tricks like illusionists
tucked my existence in the black of your soul
this is gonna catch up to you in the end
i'm not waiting
so it's time i finally cut the cord
if this breaks your heart then i'll feel better
if these words could stop your breath forever
soon you'll have no one
that's why this will break your heart and i'll feel
better
this is gonna catch up to you in the end
when it falls apart...
old man are you listening?
do you think i'll be taking you in?
when you're fragile and brittle bone
do you think i'll be taking you in?
this is gonna catch up to you in the end
i'm not waiting
so it's time i finally cut the cord
if this breaks your heart then i'll feel better
if these words could stop your breath forever
soon you'll have no one
that's why this will break your heart and i'll feel
better
this is gonna catch up to you in the end
when it falls apart...
who will be there?
who will be there?
when it falls apart...
who will be there?
who will be there?
if this breaks your heart then i'll feel better
if these words could stop your breath forever
soon you'll have no one
that's why this will break your heart and i'll feel
better
this is gonna catch up to you in the end

This is a world with a ripped dress on
A broken place that loves no one
Oh I swear it's the best statement I can give
I've been pulling back so much hurt
Holding my breath without saying a word
Now I'm done and I don't care who I offend anymore
I'm not trusting anyone again
I hate this world we're living in
Take a second looking way back when
When we were young
Unaware of evidence
Present day we're all afraid to walk away from our front doors
We've been beaten, gagged and bound
Fed fear into our hopeless mouths
Now we're fucked and we don't even have our best dress on
I'm not trusting anyone again
I hate this world we're living in
I'm not trusting anyone again
I hate this world we're living in
I'm not trusting anyone again

Ice cold on the filthy ground
Barely breathing in a fucked up town
All my life I was afraid
Now I'm welcoming the feeling
Black eyes under dirt and sun
Written above, had the nerve to hurt everyone
All my life carried a heart
Until my actions stripped it bare
Waking up feels so wrong
Hope you got what you wanted
Waking up feels so wrong
Hope you got what you wanted
Arms stretched when the sun goes down
Pulled away from a fucked up town
All my life I was afraid
Now I'm welcoming the feeling
Fought long in a violent world
Stayed strong for the people I needed
All my life carried a heart
Until my actions stripped it bare
Waking up feels so wrong
Hope you got what you wanted
Now waking up feels so wrong
Hope you got what you wanted
Arms stretched when the sun sets over me
Arms stretched when the night carries me home
Waking up feels so wrong
Hope you got what you wanted
Now waking up feels so wrong
Hope you got what you wanted
Arms stretched when the sun sets over me

something better now, something better now awaits.
this wasn't the end, with you we carry on.
well i never had a chance, never had a chance, to tell you.
to tell you your friendship was better than anything else.
why?
the ones that we needed, the ones that we're losing.
why doesn't this make sense at all?
i hope you're listening.
why?
the ones that we needed, the ones that we're losing all of.
the ones that we're losing, all of.
now i sit alone, now i sit alone, in pain.
wishing you were here. you had so much going on.
well i never had a chance, never had the chance, to tell you.
your friendship was better than anything else.
why?
the ones that we needed, the ones that we're losing.
why doesn't this make sense at all?
oh i hope you're listening.
why?
the ones that we needed, the ones that we're losing all of.
the ones that we're losing, all of.
the one...
does this make sense to you?
something better now, something better now awaits.
this wasn't the end, with you we carry on.
well i never had a chance, never had a chance, to tell you.
to tell you your friendship was better than anything else.

Meaningless
Emptiness
Religious discontent
Strike up those preachy hands
While your bodies bathe in sin
If I had any kind of faith I wouldn't follow a trend
I don't care
No one wants your love
Cleanliness
Forgiveness

When your body's lost it all
But you don't feel like letting go
Bomb the world
When your heart hates everything
But you don't want to let it win
Bomb the world
Keep struggling, living and trying again
Shit hurts but you've got to get used to it
Keep struggling, living and trying again
Show them all you'll explode
Bomb the world
When every place feels like a hole
But you keep crawling to save your soul
Bomb the world
When your life's lowest of low and you're ready
To recover control

Cold
Out of touch
I just let my lungs fill up with the worst of the worst
Bloodshot eyes wide shut
Buried awake all night
Paranoid from the weight of the world
Bad vibes corrupt my head
Half dead, half dead
Bad vibes corrupt my head
Half dead, half dead, half dead
Smoke
Comatose
Poisonous to the lips from a kiss I just couldn't ignore
Passed the green, passed the trees, passed the catatonic breeze
I don't want
I don't want
I don't want
Bad vibes corrupt my head
Half dead, half dead
Bad vibes corrupt my head
Half dead, half dead, half dead
Save me
Won't somebody save me
Head trips wrapped around my neck
That's when I swear I lost my head again
I swear, I swear I lost my head again
I swear, I swear I lost my head again
Cold
Smoke
I swear, I swear I lost my head again
I swear, I swear I lost my head again
I swear, I swear I lost my head again
I swear, I swear I lost my head again
Bad vibes corrupt my head
Half dead, half dead
Bad vibes corrupt my head
Half dead, half dead, half dead
Save me
Won't somebody save me

I've got a body that I don't want to be living in
I've got devils flooding up to the neck
And I have forgotten how to swim
All of these people keep calling me up who I don't even know
I don't even know myself
It all started when I was a kid
I kept putting trust in my father and receiving nothing
Relationships lasted no longer than limbs
Still the same, nothing changed
This just keeps on happening
Should have let me leave
Should have let me leave this mess
(I can't stop. I can't stop lying)
Can I ever come clean?
Should have let me leave this mess
None of this was my fault
None of this was my fault

Girl cries out into her achy hands
Boy cares less, keeps feeding off her soul
He won't let her get herself some hope
She's afraid to let him let her go
Boy explains that he's done nothing wrong
Girl can't swim through all the shit he's talked
She's afraid to pack her bags and run
He holes lies under his tongue
Yeah, leave that girl alone
She's better off with you gone
She's been neglected by a love that's been broken
All the letters that he wrote

Weep you no more, sad fountains:
what need you flow so fast?
look how the snowy mountains
heaven's sun doth gently waste.
but my sun's heavenly eyes
view not your weeping.
that now lies sleeping
softly, now softly lies sleeping.
Sleep is a reconciling,
a rest that peace begets.
doth not the sun rise smiling
when fair at even he sets?
rest you then, rest, sad eyes,
melt not in weeping,
while she lies sleeping

I’m so tired of this life
Tired of this side of me
I could never talk to God
Never talk to us
I’m free, I’m free
Ohhh Ohhh
I’m so tired of this life
Too tired to decide for me
I could never talk to love
I never thought it was
A dream, a dream
Ohhh Ohhh
I’m so tired of this life
Tired of this side of me
I could never talk to God
Never talk to us
I’m free, I’m free

All of our heads in the clouds
And I remember staying up all night
In a haze to the sweetest sounds
When I said
Delicate to the sights
And I can never feel the calm I felt
Witnessing headlights drive into our eyes
When I said, we're not ready to go back home
Breathe in baby, I can't touch the ground
Keep it crazy, let the open road bring us back down
Let the open road bring us back down
All of the smoke in our lungs
And I remember burning up daylight
Passing the head of the summer's final sun
When I said, we're not ready to go back home
We're not ready to go back
Breathe in baby, I can't touch the ground
Keep it crazy, let the open road bring us back down
Let the open road bring us back down
Breathe in baby, I can't touch the ground
Keep it crazy, let the open road bring us back down
Let the open road bring us back down
Keep on passing the trucks, the trucks
Keep on passing the drugs, the drugs
Breathe in baby, I can't touch the ground
Keep it crazy, let the open road bring us back down
Breathe in baby, I can't touch the ground
Keep it crazy, let the open road bring us back down
We're not ready to go back home

Are you sleeping?
Still dreaming?
Still drifting off alone...
I'm not leaving with this feeling
So you'd better best be told
And how in the world did you come
To be such a lazy love?
It's so simple, and fitting
The path that you are on
We're not talking, there's no secrets
There's just a note that you have gone
And all that you've ever owned
Is packed in the hall to go
And how am I supposed to live without you?
A wrong word said in anger and you were gone
I'm not listening for signals
It's all dust now on the shelf
Are you still working? Still counting?
Still buried in yourself?
And how in the world did we come
To have such an absent love?
And how am I supposed to live without you?
A wrong word said in anger and you were gone
And how am I supposed to live without anyone?
And how in the world did you come
To be such a lazy love?
And where did you go?

For the life we chose in the evening we rose
Just long enough to be lovers again
And for nothing more, the world was too sore to live in
Sad old ships, a morning eclipse
I spent my whole life guessing
Then I turned from the sun and saw everyone searching
The hoot owl and his song, will bring you along
Where else on earth would you wanna go?
We can leave all this hate, before it's too late
Why would we wanna come back at all?
Cobwebs on my pillow, I'm found in the willow
I'd spend my whole life sleeping
To be called by noon is to be called too soon today
The storm is passed, there is peace at last
I'll spend my whole life sleeping
Now there's not a sound, no one to be found anywhere
The shepherd and his sheep will wind you to sleep
Where else on earth would you wanna go?
To a land of wonder when you go under

Judging by these written words, gives reason to believe an evil spirit rests in that innocent girl. And the markings on her chest can tell a tale of all the lives she's affected with her hidden mistrust.
Broken down somewhere in Georgia with the thought of calling this innocent girl to let her know she's missed. But with 6 days, 6 hours, 6 minutes, left until she's gone I realize who's been with me all this time.
Judging by these written words, gives reason to believe that an evil spirit rests in that innocent girl. And the lying in her eyes can show a sign that underneath human skin is boiling red.
Burning breath; dressed in red; who else could this be, but the devil herself?

Well, here we are
Our final meeting
If you told me it would end like this
I wouldn't have believed
I'd be standing here above you
Crying tears upon your face
Imagining your eyes would open
If only I'd say the right thing
If I could say the right thing
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day
And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming
I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away
So it's time to let you go
Fly away now and be free
And in your never-ending slumber
Will you please save a dream for me
And I will gently place this flower
In your hand before I leave
They say you cannot take it with you
But this could be the one thing
This love could be the one thing
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day
And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming
I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away
Carried you away
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day

Old man where have you been?
Can't you see that I've grown a bit cold?
Pulling tricks like illusionists
Tucked my existence in the black of your soul
This is gonna catch up to you in the end
I'm not waiting
So it's time I finally cut the cord
If this breaks your heart then I'll feel better
If these words could stop your breath forever
Soon you'll have no one
That's why this will break your heart and I'll feel better
This is gonna catch up to you in the end
When it falls apart...
Old man are you listening?
Do you think I'll be taking you in?
When you're fragile and brittle bone
Do you think I'll be taking you in?
This is gonna catch up to you in the end
I'm not waiting
So it's time I finally cut the cord
If this breaks your heart then I'll feel better
If these words could stop your breath forever
Soon you'll have no one
That's why this will break your heart and I'll feel better
This is gonna catch up to you in the end
When it falls apart...
Who will be there?
Who will be there?
When it falls apart...
Who will be there?
Who will be there?
If this breaks your heart then I'll feel better
If these words could stop your breath forever
Soon you'll have no one
That's why this will break your heart and I'll feel better

"They can't be back," he said
A chilling wind from the living room
"Oh how can this be?
I thought I buried them in electricity"
And then the radio turned on without a trace
A haunting memory upon the man's face
As he said, "They're coming back, they're coming back"
Cold haunting memories
Back, back, back, back through the radio
Now who is listening tonight?
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Man's last words, man's last words are perfect.
When nothing is said at all
Scared speechless
The man's head in his hands, his shaky hands,
But let truth be known he wasn't always afraid
Oh no, no, that coward used to talk, talk, talk, talk,
Sync his lips to the sound of empty promises
"Oh, they're coming back, they're coming back"
Cold haunting memories
Back, back, back, back through the radio
Now who is listening tonight?
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Man's last words, man's last words are perfect
When nothing is said at all
Back, back, back
Back, back, back
Back, back, back
"They can't, they can't, they can't be back," he said
A chilling wind from the living room
"Oh how can this be?
I thought I buried them in electricity"
Oh that coward used to talk, talk, talk, sync his lips
Now there is no way he's going to live through this
"They have come back, they have come back!"
Back, back, back, back through the radio
Now who is listening tonight?
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Man's last words, man's last words are perfect
When nothing is said at all
The have come back

We've been begging for a better place
Frantically shaking in disgrace
We're all viciously fighting in every state
But now I'm leaving
We're all begging for a different way
Violently shaking from our mistakes
Still nobody's fighting to make a change
So now I'm leaving
Time's almost up
I know
We're all running faster
Running faster
We've been begging for a better place
Frantically shaking in disgrace
We're all viciously fighting in every state
But now I'm leaving
We're all begging for a different way
Violently shaking from our mistakes
Still nobody's fighting to make a change
So now I'm leaving
Falling back
Falling back without a hold
Ashamed to say we're falling back
Falling back without a hold
Time's almost up
I know
Begging
Shaking
Fighting

Intro: F/C C, Eb/Bb Bb, Bb/F F
F C/E Dm7 F7/C
For the life we chose in the evening we rose,
Bbmaj9 A7 A7/C# Dm7 F6/C F6
just long enough to be lovers again.
Bb F/A Gm7 Gm7/C
And for nothing more, the world was too sore
F Eb/F F
To live in.
Sad old ships,
A morning eclipse,
I spent my whole life guessing,
Then I turned from the sun
And saw everyone
Searching.
F Bb
The hoot owl and his song, will bring you alongF/C C Eb/Bb Bb Bb/F F
Where else on earth would you wanna go?
F Bb
We can leave all this hate, before it's too late
F/C C Eb/Bb Bb Bb/F F
Why would we wanna come back at all?
Cobwebs on my pillow,
I'm found in the willow,
I'd spend my whole life sleeping.
To be called by noon
Is to be called too soon
Today.
The storm is passed,
There is peace at last,
I'll spend my whole life sleeping.
Now there's not a sound,
No one to be found
Anywhere.
The shepherd and his sheep
Will wind you to sleep,
Where else on earth would you wanna go ?
To a land of wonder
When you go under,
Why would we want to come back at all ?
Coda: F Eb/F F7

I just sleep most of the time
Day by day my time's running by
All those things I've been planning to do
Wadoodoodadeedoodadoo
Body's up but still I'm down deep
I can't get away from my sleep
I am caught I cannot break through
Wadoodoodadeedoodadoo
I'm sleeping and it seems
There's no waking up
I'm drowning in my dreams
Please take me out
Am I sick or is it a curse
It's got bad it's gonna get worse
Magic circle with no chance to break
Wadoodoodadeedoodaday
What's all this I can only guess
Years have passed like a midnight express
It's too late now for getting away

Last call, but I just kept on drinking
I saw a face in the crowd, one soon I would regret
So I stumbled my way towards this innocent face
Introducing myself as "the life this bars been needing"
I saw a smile open up and I knew I had walked right in
We started talking about the world and all the troubles on the way
As sad as it sounds, I was barely paying attention
I only wanted one thing
Oh I only wanted one thing
I'm sorry baby but I had to dig up them bones
The night was hazy
And I didn't want to spend it alone
Now that it's over
Put your clothes back on and go home
Go on home
Now at the hotel
With the view as vast as the sea
We started to undress one thousand floors above the city
Then the calm before the storm where I had started to feel a bit guilty
I just let myself know this will all be over soon
Now I'm not going to lie
Or keep from you any secrets
With this sort of thing I've got issues through the roof
Still it takes two to dance
And we both got what we wanted
Oh I never caught a name

I toss and turn
I'm turning around
But I cannot sleep
I'm hypnotized
I'm paralyzed
By a different beat
I hear your voice
Getting louder now
Yet so out of reach
But I'm mistaking
It's only the echo of you
And I'm not sleeping
Now that you're gone
I can't help feeling
I did you wrong
And now this feeling
It's been so long
And the night goes on and on
A crowded bar
The mating game
So I'm out of place
It's so bizarre
She's coming up to me
But I see your face
The DJ plays familiar songs
And it takes me back
But I'm mistaking it's only the echo of you
And I'm not sleeping
Now that you're gone
I can't help feeling
I did you wrong
And now this feeling
It's been so long
And the night goes on and on
I hear your voice
I hear your voice calling
I hear your voice, on and on
I toss and turn
I'm turning around
But I just can't sleep
I'm hypnotized
I'm paralyzed
And I'm not sleeping
Now that you're gone
I can't help feeling
I did you wrong
And now this feeling
It's been so long

[the sounds of someone tuning a station on the radio]

Waiting for someone to save me tonight but I've been waiting for nothing
Waiting for someone to save me tonight but I've been waiting for nothing
Waiting for someone to save me tonight but I've been waiting for nothing
Movement has stopped us all.
All alone. All alone, movement has stopped us now all alone tortured tonight.
Watching inside I hear them call 'how could you?'
They sputter words 'better trading walls' (how could you?)
I'd rather burn in hell alone (how could you?)
I'd rather feel tortured alone (someone save me)
Waiting for someone to save me tonight but I've been waiting for nothing

Last day in this hell
I lay here in mourning
I guess a death beds not so bad when it's the only bed you've had
Well I've grown tired of choking sick while you whore around the city
I'm heading back to the city whoreless and happy
Violent hands, swarm away
Just take me home
Well I've been trying to reach you
Well I, why did I run so far
Away I drive myself, away crazy I drive myself
Just take me Home I've been trying to reach you Alive
why did I run so far
Away I drive myself, away crazy I drive myself
When we first arrived
I would have burned this hotel to the ground
First up the coffin and mattress until it all burns to ashes
Now that we left and were heading back to the city
I'm heading Back to the city, whoreless and happy.
Violent hands, swarm again
Just take me home, I've been trying to reach you Alive
Why did I run so far
Away I drive myself, away crazy I drive myself
Home (home!), well I've been trying to reach you alone (why!)
Why did I run so far away,
I drive myself, away crazy I drive myself.
(some talking)
Home I've been trying to reach you Alive
Home I've been trying to reach you Alive
Why did I run so far away
I drive myself, away crazy I drive myself
Home (home!), ive been trying to reach you
Why (why!) did I run so far
Away crazy I drive myself

Lying in bed. This hotel reeks of home sickness, though, i for one am sick of going home. Vomiting. What i left behind was evil. Someone as dark as Cordele, swallowing me whole.
Where were you when i was stranded? Did your faithfulness just up and leave, or did you leave first?
(First) things first. I am not ok. From transmission parts to train wrecks her eyes haven't left by my side. Side by side was how it used to feel. But split in half and torn apart reality sets in.
Where were you when i was stranded? Did your faithfulness just go along with your heart?
(Side by side) i am not ok from transmission parts to train wrecks her eyes haven't left my side. (Side by side) But what i left behind was evil. Someone as dark as this town. Someone swallowed me whole. I am not ok.

Yah, I'm like an angel headless
Reckless with good intentions
I knew you couldn't take it anymore
Yah, but what's the point when it's worthless?
Finding yourself is perfect
I knew you couldn't take it anymore
Who's got some explaining to do?
Wait. don't think you're getting off easy
You spit separation baby
I knew you didn't want it anymore
So what's the fucking difference
If I leave you or you leave me?
No one is keeping score
Who's got some explaining to do?
I've got some explaining to do
You've got some explaining to do
We've got some explaining to do
Back and forth and back and forth again
Reckless with good intention
Back and forth and back and forth again
Reckless but smart enough to know
When two lovers holding on need letting go
Don't lie to me again because I won't be listening
Lips pressed tight to a lit cigarette
Lips pressed tight to a lit cigarette
Blowing awkward smoke into the night
Lips pressed tight to a lit cigarette
Exhaled these words into the air

Scented a rose, and as the shocked machines still scanning pavements screen, ground with siren eyes. Sounding through blinding sight. Piecing of pieces fit. Shifting the overwhelming. Fault lines now open.
Now I can't forget (buried in pain and thought, just because i wasn't there)
Slide show incarcerated with grief and I know times have changed in our eyes. That's for sure, so I quit. This is bad news another album going nowhere, going nowhere.
Now, without you, I can't.

[Originally by Bee Gees]
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
Im a womans man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, Ive been kicked around
Since I was born.
And now its all right. its ok.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The new york times effect on man.
Whether youre a brother or whether youre a mother,
Youre stayin alive, stayin alive.
Feel the city breakin and everybody shakin,
And were stayin alive, stayin alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin alive, stayin alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high,
And if I cant get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
Im a dancin man and I just cant lose.
You know its all right. its ok.
Ill live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The new york times effect on man.
Whether youre a brother or whether youre a mother,
Youre stayin alive, stayin alive.
Feel the city breakin and everybody shakin,
And were stayin alive, stayin alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin alive, stayin alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin alive.
Life goin nowhere. somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin nowhere. somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah. stayin alive.

"So, crazy I am hoping that we can get together. And now crazy for the fact that we could get away. Because I'm dying all alone, trying to hold on to what I have. And I'm knowing why I care. Working towards what's best for you.
(One flight, one flame) Flights ablaze, lighting up the sky.
So, leave me here all alone as you pack your smiles and a dream. Because, I am crying for something that I've given up on. Broken and given up on you.
