This is a song about Susan
This is a song about the girl next door
This is a song about the everyday occurrences
That make me feel like letting go
Yes I think we've got a problem
So much for the afterglow
So much for the afterglow

This is a song about Susan
Yeah, this is a song about the way things are
This is a song about the scary things
You see from the corner of your eyes
Don't you wonder why?

We never talk about the future, yeah
We never talk about the past anymore
We never ask ourselves the questions
To the answers that nobody even wants to know
I guess the honeymoon is over

So much for the afterglow, so much for the afterglow
So much for the afterglow, so much for the afterglow

I remember we could talk about anything
I remember when we used to want to hang out
I remember we could talk about everything
I remember when we used to want to hang out
I remember we could talk about everything
I remember when we used to want to hang out
I remember when we used to want to hang out
I remember we could talk about everything
I remember, I remember, I remember

Yeah, we never talk about the future
We never talk about the past anymore
We never ask ourselves the questions
To the answers that nobody even wants to know

Oh well, oh well, oh well
So much for the afterglow
Oh well oh well oh well
So much for the afterglow
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Yes, I guess we need the drama
So much for the afterglow, so much for the afterglow
So much for the afterglow, yeah, so much for the afterglow
So much for the afterglow, so much for the afterglow
So much for the afterglow, so much for the afterglow

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want?
I want to change
And what have you got, when you feel the same?

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son, yeah.
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son for you

[x4]
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

Wasting so much time
wishing and wondering what could I do to recapture my past
because all my memories
seem so much better than anything that I'm feeling today.
Now its fading away,
am I losing hold on the only piece of you that I have left?
Why is it easy to forget when nothing could take that place you left behind.

Every night I lie awake
worried that each day I am forgetting a little bit more.
I need to remember you that way, when I was not afraid to forget.
Wasted so much time, wishing and wondering.
And I wasted my time, wishing and wondering.
Every night I lie awake hoping my tears will dry,
will I ever shut my eyes?

Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again

Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun

Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom

He’s the one
Who likes all our pretty songs

And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means

And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means and I say yeah

You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I liken' what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the
The web you're spinning
You've got me for your prey

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

You're intruding on what's mine
And you're taking up my time
Don't have the courage inside me
To tell you please let me be

Communication, a telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape...

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

Now it's gone to deep (Now, it's gone too deep)
You wake me in my sleep (Wake me in my sleep)
My dreams become nightmares (Dreams become nightmares)
'Cause you're ringing in my ears

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound

But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothings gonna happen
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]
'Cause she's so high...
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high...
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high...
High above me

First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything

What could a guy like me
Ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be
Why should I even bother?

[Repeat Chorus]

She comes to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal

But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Repeat Chorus]

Spread your love and fly, fly...

All around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long Ive loved you
Everywhere I go people stop and they see
Twenty-five years old, my mother, God rest her soul
(lord, have mercy)

I just wanna fly

Put your arms around me, baby

Put your arms around me, baby...
(i, i, I w...w...would tell her, here, well
Spread your love and fly, oh, me, oh, my
Spread your love and fly, oh, me for i
Spread your love and fly, fly)

Dance a little stranger
Show me where you've been (say what? )
Love can make you hostage
Wanna do it again (word)
Theres no time to think
bout the starting or the end (never)
Well find out, I'm told
My mother, she told me so,
(yeah, yeah, check it out)

I just wanna fly
(higher, higher, higher, high, high, high)
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just wanna fly

(grow your wing and fly)
...to fly

And the they wanna fly

I'm gonna tell her bye-bye and
Grow your wing and fly, oh, me, oh, my
Spread your love and fly, fly

All around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long Ive loved you (ain't my thing)
Everyone I know has been so good to me (hey, hear that)
Twenty-five years old, my mother, God rest her soul
(lord, have mercy)

I just wanna fly
(like a birdie in the sky up so high)
Put your arms around me, baby

I just wanna fly

I'm packed and I'm holding,
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and
she lives for me, She says she lives for me,
Ovation, She's got her own motivation,
she comes round and she goes down on me,
And I make her smile, It's like a drug for you,
Do ever what you want to do, Coming over you,
Keep on smiling, what we go through.
One stop to the rhythm that divides you,
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse,
Chop another line like a coda with a curse,
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage.
We give them the games we play, she said,

I want something else, to get me through this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye.

The sky it was gold, it was rose,
I was taking sips of it through my nose,
And I wish I could get back there,
Some place back there,
Smiling in the pictures you would take,
Doing crystal myth,
Will lift you up until you break,
It won't stop,
I won't come down, I keep stock,
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop,
And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given,
Then I bumped again,
And then I bumped again.
How do I get back there to,
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to,
The place where you said,

I want something else to get me through this,
semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, good-bye.

I believe in the sand beneath my toes,
The beach gives a feeling,
An earthy feeling,
I believe in the faith that grows,
And the four right chords can make me cry,
When I'm with you I feel like I could die.
And that would be all right
(Those little red panties, they pass the test)
(Slide up around the belly)
(Face down on the mattress)

I want something else,
To get me through this life,
baby, I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say,
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye...
GOOD-BYE !!!

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this shit
Day after day
Now how did we end up this way
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
Now how do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

[Guitar Solo]

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Her pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smi-iles!

Hey [x6]

Come on,
Tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got so far.
Yeah, tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got too far.

You're all I see,
sink into me.
Sharpen your teeth,
sink into me.
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd like to see our roles reversed,
to watch you hang on every word,
I'd like to see you have your way.
I keep my grammar well rehearsed,
correct each stutter, every slur,
come on and have your way with me.

Now tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got so far.
You tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got too far.

correct each stutter, every slur,
come on and have your way with me.

Come on and have your way with me.

I'd like to be a note,
the kind you could sing but don't because you're shy
That way I'll live inside your throat,
and hang from every word you spoke.

(Hey, hey, hey.....)
You're all I see,
sink into me.
Sharpen your teeth,
sink into me.
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd love to see you have your way,
come on, have your way with me
(And hang from every word you spoke)
I'd like to see you have your way
(Correct each stutter every slur)
Come on have your way with me,
sink into me.

Flower tongue wilts with too much sun
And that's where we've been living for so long
Sending off the western coast
Watch the sun set with your shrinking voice
See I ain't the boy she loves the most
I'm just enough to fill the void her daddy left

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me (She said)
You wanna get me high (She said)
You wanna get me high
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me

But I often wonder just how deep I could sink my teeth
Into the crease where your all the place
Where all the good times the grow, grow
Wouldn't taste the same, the same for me
Wouldn't sound the same coming from me
Such an awful tearing sound

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me (She said)
You wanna get me high (She said)
You wanna get me high
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me
Changing for me

All the things they said about you
Paper thin walls stacked around you
An hour glass's silhouette and then
No matter how hard I try
Or how dirty you fight
There is no place on God's great earth
Where you could go to hide from me

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me (She said)
You wanna get me high (She said)
You wanna get me high
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me
Changing for me

Yeah

I played deaf, immersed
In that technicoloured kind of
Black and white type
Counting one to seven through the roof
If my lady only knew how high I am, I am tonight

I crack open the safe myself now
Fourty-five twenty-two
June until September
Three months 'til december

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around

'Cause I ain't working for you anymore
No, I ain't working for you anymore
So go prove to the world what you already proved
That you just couldn't do on your own

Let's have a talk about the good times
But you were always giving in
Let's have a talk about the good times
Boy, you were only giving in

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around

So let's have a talk about the good times
But you were always giving in
Let's have a talk about the good times
Boy, you were only giving in to (me)

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around

See it's not like I didn't mean what I said
When I said I'll put my money where my mouth is
And I put my money where my mouth was
Until I couldn't breathe through my nose
And now I'm staring at the floor
Where my second life just ended
Where I lost not one, but two friends

Yeah I had it all
Sittin' on top of the world
But I threw it away
Well just to prove that I could
I put my money where my mouth is

See I recall quite perfectly who I was
Both before and after the drugs
Both before and after the drugs
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth was
I got a strong will, just weak hands
And I don't know what to do with either one of them

Yeah I had it all
Sittin' on top of the world
But I threw it away
Just to prove that I could
Just to prove that I could
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth is

You're a knight in shining armor of a mother and a father
You had everything, everything you needed
And it was made crystal clear that would not change

Yeah I had it all
Sittin' on top of the world
But I threw it away
(Why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
Just to prove that I could
Yeah I had it all
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
And I had it good, so good
But I threw it away
(Why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
Just to prove that I could
I could
Just to prove that I could

(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is, is
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is
Yeah I had it all

On a borrowed mattress you were stopping time
I've been watching you, I've been watching you
For hours and hours before you knew

You are the satin noose
I've been saving up to buy
You, you are the polished pearl grips of your fathers .45
Give me all those gory details
Do tell, do tell

Cut me up Jenny
Well cut me up gently
Well I took full advantage of being taken for advantage oh
Yeah, I took what I could get and literally it took the place of love
Match-makers in heaven only got a one track mind
So in our case I don't think they'd mind

Finger prints a perfect match
You know you didn't have to leave the way you did
I've been watching you, I've been watching you
Most times you never knew

You are a Sunday afternoon
With nothing to do
You are Manhattan in June
As the population's wearing next to nothing

Cut me up Jenny
Cut me up gently
Well I took full advantage of being taken full advantage of
I took what I could get and eventually it took the place of love
Match-makers in heaven only got a one track mind
So in our case well I don't think they'd mind
No in our case I don't think they'd mind

So cut me up Jenny
Well cut me up Jenny

Yeah...
Talking about our prayer
Is it gonna make me sweat
Yeah.
Come on Jenny.

Give me all those gory details
Do tell, do tell
So cut me up Jenny
Well cut me up Jenny

Well I took full advantage of being taken for advantage
Yeah, I took what I could get and literally it took the place of love
Match-makers in heaven oh they got a one track mind
So in our case I don't think they'd mind

So cut me up Jenny
(Cut me up Jenny)
Cut me up Jenny
(Cut me up Jenny)
So cut me up Jenny
(Cut me up Jenny)
Well cut me up Jenny
(Cut me up Jenny)
So cut me up Jenny
(Cut me up Jenny)
Cut me up Jenny
(Cut me up Jenny)
Well cut me up Jenny

Cut me up Jenny
Cut me up Jenny

Dusting off the old life from my catholic knees
I scraped them up good
(Scraped them up good)
I Scraped them up good
You doctored them clean

Oh yes, we are patient, patients
Salt-licked wounds merely bruised
(But none of that'll matter)
None of that'll matter soon
On some ancient day, see how much you can take
None of that'll matter
None of that'll matter soon

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

Before my hands had the chance to grow old
I was told
'Good enough's as good as it's gonna get'
'Yeah good enough's as good as you'll ever get'

S-s-said I, I made a conscious decision
Shake the skin I was stuck in and stretched my bones
Believe in nothing
I can't quite seem to catch my breath
(But I cannot forget)

That none of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
None of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

But that's where you came in
Yeah, here we are
Yeah, here I am
That's where you came in
Now, here we are
Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground
Lord, keep my feet flat on the ground

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

The nicest man I ever met
Was more malicious than malcontent
Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
And wait to strike 'til their backs were turned
And you slither away like the snake that you are
Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are

All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now

Divinity spelt correctly beneath the receding pride of his twenties was
Capital M-E (I could've subscribed)
Was capital M-E (But you cant say I didn't try)
You say what you want (maybe I didn't get my way)
so you say what you want (maybe I didn't get my way)
I got, I got away

All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothin stopping me now

Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all of that and more?
Too much too soon or too good to be true?
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all of that and more?

All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothin stopping me now

But all I ever was look up to you
And if all I ever was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now

Open the gate to your apartment complex
You're not getting off that easily
I climb the fence, the one that you've been sitting on
(How long) before I'm just a memory?
(How long) before you can't remember me?
Remember me

I never had a choice
I never had a choice
To leave the chokehold
Mouldin' around that to his doorway
I couldn't find the box to fix the list that's nagging in my brain
(How long) before I'm just a memory
(How long) before you can't remember me
Remember me

Lover lover on the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and
Swing (swing)
Swing (swing)
Before you leave
Lover lover tell me this
Passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?
Just swing
(Just swing, swing, swing, swing, swing)

I never had a choice
I never had a choice
The evening lent itself
Watch my reservations fall to the floor
Fall to the floor
Now sing with me
(How long) before I'm just a memory?
(How long) before you can't remember me?
Remember me

Lover lover on the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and
Swing (swing)
Swing (swing)
Before you leave
Lover lover tell me this
With passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?
Just swing

Open the gate to your apartment complex
Did you forget love, you're who called for me
How long did you expect to keep me waiting?
How long before I'm just a memory?

Lover lover on the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and
Swing (swing)
Swing (swing)
Before you leave
Lover lover tell me this
With passion over consequence
And swing
Did the latter take the lead?
Just swing
Swing (swing)

There's a symphony out past the trees beyond your father's house
The one you grew up in then grew out of
Got yourself to higher ground
You told me you ain't gonna miss it
But you'll never hear it like you heard it then
Like you heard it then

I didn't mean to wake you
Oh, I know it's late
These walls are caving in
I didn't mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in

Well halfway out of town
Loading your father's father's gun
The one he smuggled back from Germany
After the war was won
You told me he ain't gonna miss it
Better serve it's purpose like it did back then
Just like it did back then
Besides he ain't reminiscing
Yeah he'll never hear it like he heard it then
Not like he heard it then

I didn't mean to wake you
Oh, I know it's late
These walls are caving in
I didn't mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in
Oh these walls are caving in
Walls were caving in

We found a house with a yard
And moved all of my things in
And most of your things in
And honey, I was proud of it
And honey, I was proud of you

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud

Some boxes,
That hand-me-down couch
And chair that used to be at your church
We borrowed them from there
A cabinet record player with nothing but James Taylor
Tore the carpets from the corner
To put on the hardwood floor
I'd be a fool to have asked for more

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud
Instead you slash it through the mud

The love you had but couldn't name,
The past that we were stuck between
Beside myself I stopped to think
Lord, what have I done?

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud

I'm gonna leave the same way I came
Up from the ashes then I'm from the
Ashes
If our house it stood here on this wood
foundation
Then you, you could've fooled me I admit I was a fool for
Your southern days
(One-hundred and fifty degrees in the shade)
It wasn't an option to come back to my place
(No I was put in my place)
You, we lived in separate
houses we had for all our lives
It would've been nice to say
(It would've been nice to say)
It would've been nice to say
I knew you
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
CARPATHIA
I dont worry half as much as I Did
When I was an experiment
Your resident tourniquet
life's how about your left waiting, just waiting
I am the mantel and your a painting
come rest your frame on me
(Come rest your frame on me)
I was a tower and you were an airplane
We happened before we knew
what was happening
we lived in separate
houses we had for all our lives
It would've been nice to say
(It would've been nice to say)
It would've been nice to say
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
We lived inside each other
such careless lazy lovers
Would've been nice to say
Sure would've been nice to say
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"

Close your eyes and make believe this is where you want to be
Forgetting all the memories, try to forget love cause love's forgotten me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be distant, the stars reminiscing
Your heart's been wasted on me

You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy
My little decoy

Live your life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you just cause you're into me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late
When I'm gone you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay and you know I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day

You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy

Oh, oh.
I'm not sorry at all
(not sorry at all, not sorry. no.)
I won't be sorry at all
(not sorry at all, not sorry. no.)
I'd do it over again

Don't look so blue, my little decoy
You should've seen right through, my little decoy
You've never been so used, my little decoy
And so I'm using you, my little decoy

I used to be so quick, so clever
I used to know myself much better
Anyone can see that this is only permanent
Temporary, it never hurts to try

And it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
But repetition ends in failure
And every time I see it in your eyes
When repetition ends, we'll start over

Now I'm a walking contradiction
So tell me what's wrong with this picture
Cause anyone can see that this is only permanent
Temporary, so don't hurt me this time

And it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
But repetition ends in failure
And every time I see it in your eyes
When repetition ends, we'll start over

So give it up, just give up
Give it up, give up
So give it up, just give up
Give it up, give up

And it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
But repetition ends in failure
And every time I see it in your eyes
When repetition ends, we'll start over

We'll start over

Don't come looking for me
'Cause I'll be right here with the words you said
and looking for the words that you say
you know what you did you know
And how can anybody forget the promise that you made?
'Cause this is how a promise breaks
I always knew you'd fall through
And now you're proof

Rewind to the first time
that I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
Rewind to the first time
that I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless
Don't tell me lies just say goodbye

And now you're running from me
so cool, so scared of what you might have said
and no one's ever looked away,
cause we know what you did, we know
If I told anybody, they would soon forget your name
and you would never have a place
I always knew you'd fall through
And now you're proof

Rewind to the first time
that I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
Rewind to the first time
that I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless
Don't tell me lies just say goodbye

Please don't say too much oh, I
think we've heard enough from you,
Oh

Rewind to the first time
that I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
Rewind to the first time
that I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless
Don't tell me lies just say goodbye
Don't tell me lies just say goodbye

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off
Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too long
While you feed off others' insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid
in the heart of America has blood on their hands
fighting to defend your rights
so you can maintain a lifestyle
that insults his family's existence
Well, where I'm from we have a special
salute that we aim high in the air
towards all those pompous assholes
who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck You)

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy
collecting enemies

Tabloid gossip queen worthless man
(There's no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way you've dug your own grave)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

All the way from the east to the west we
got this high society
looking down on their very foundation
constantly reminding us that our actions
are the cause of all their problems
Pointing their fingers in every
direction and blaming their
own nation for who wins the elections
They've never contributed a fucking thing to the
country they love to criticize

Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see try and get through
Admitting mistakes can hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass your fake reflection)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

I feel insane every single time
I'm asked to compromise
Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that's the way it stays
So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane

(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face, but the fact remains
That this is nothing new

I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane.

I'm not insane, I'm not insane.
I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.

(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But first you fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Now that I've lost you it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away.
I'm losing the fight.
I've treated you so wrong, now let me make it right.
(Make it all right)

I'm not insane, I'm not insane. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.

(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But still you fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Caught up in this madness too blind to see
Woke animal feelings in me
Took over my sense and I lost control
I'll taste your blood tonight

You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time, yeah

Relax while you're closing your eyes to me
So warm as I'm setting you free
With your arms by your side there's no struggling
Pleasure's all mine this time

You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time

Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing

We've all had a time where we've lost control
We've all had our time to grow
I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right
I'll hunt again one night

You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time

Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing

Some live repressing their instinctive feelings
Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me

Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would
if I ravaged your body
Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would
if I ravaged your mind

Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen.
So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you.
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste.
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.

I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right.
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be,
Arrived too early.

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong,
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far.

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear, escape from this afterlife.
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain.
Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you.
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste.
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall).
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall).
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign.
I've made up my mind.

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye.
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life.

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife.
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you.
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hoped you might,
Take me back inside, when the time is right.

Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me.
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening.
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be.
(I am unbroken, I'm choking on this ecstasy.)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live.)

[Screaming and maniacal laughter]

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife.
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you.
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hoped you might,
Take me back inside when the time is right.

Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

Letters keep me warm
Helped me through the storm
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through
It's been far too long, we've proven our
love over time's so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
to bring me closer to heaven with you

(Bring me closer)

But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

And with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

Somewhere life is good, and things go as they should
it's hard to find, but that's alright yeah
Searching for the way, push harder everyday
It's deep inside, that shining light yeah
But I'm scarred, by barriers placed in my path
I'm scathed

This ride that takes me through life
Leads me into darkness but emerges into light
No one can ever slow me down
I'll stay unbound

Sometimes when we're young, and always on the run
It gets so dark and I know that place yeah
So don't be too concerned, you've got a lot to learn
Well so do I and we've got plenty of time yeah
Don't fall off the track yet with so many races to go
Hold on

This ride that takes me through life
Leads me into darkness but emerges into light
No one can ever slow me down
I'll stay unbound

Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own
But living in fear, endless shame for countless years
I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day
I never viewed my life as something... slipping away

Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own
But living in fear, endless shame for countless years
I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day
I never viewed my life as something... slipping away

There's nothing here to take for granted
with each breath that we take
the hands of time strip youth from our bodies
And we fade
memories remain
as time goes on

There's nothing here to take for granted
with each breath that we take
the hands of time strip youth from our bodies
And we fade
memories remain
as time goes on

(Out of time...)
Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised (feeling compromised)
and so dehumanized (and so dehumanized)
I lost my final fight to disease, I feel that this is where it ends
I need that shot to enter my vein
My Brompton Cocktail blend

'Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong

I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong
in a lie...

I'm tired, induced euphoria (induced euphoria)
to help me move along (help me move along)
I wanna meet my maker in peace, I want to feel alive again
So put that smile back on my face and mix it strong my friend

'Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong

I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna
and leave how I arrived, so alive

I believe my sins they'll be forgiven
and I believe my choice will save me from this life
please don't question why
my sins they'll be forgotten
I believe I'll find peace in afterlife
please don't question why
I left this way

'Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong

I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna
and leave how I arrived, so alive
(Alive)

Centuries passed and still the same
War in our blood, some things never change
Fighting for land and personal gain
better your life, justify our pain
The end is knocking
The end is knocking

We've all been lost for most of this life
(lost for most of this life)
Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us
And I know that most of us just ain't right
(most of us just ain't right)
Following the wrong steps, being led by pride

How many lives will we take
How many hearts destined to break
Nowhere to run, can't escape
Full of ourselves, tied to our fate
The end is knocking
The end is knocking, yeah

We've all been lost for most of this life
(lost for most of this life)
Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us
And I know that most of us just ain't right
(most of us just ain't right)
Following the wrong steps, being led by pride

With peace of mind so hard to find
We're dwelling on the drastic signs
Another way to numb our mind
And as you close your eyes tonight
and pray for a better life
you'll see it flying helplessly away

We've all been lost for most of this life
(lost for most of this life)
Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us
And I know that most of us just ain't right
(most of us just ain't right)
Following the wrong steps, being led by pride

Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
for me to take what's mine, until the end of time
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design

Our love had been so strong for far too long,
I was weak with fear that something would go wrong,
Before the possibilities came true,
I took all possibility from you

Almost laughed myself to tears,
(ha hahahahaha)
conjuring her deepest fears
(come here you fucking bitch)

Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,
I can't believe it,
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

She was never this good in bed even when she was sleeping
now she's just so perfect I've never been quite so fucking deep in
it goes on and on and on,
I can keep you looking young and preserved forever,
with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime,
We fell apart, let's make a new start
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah yeah
but baby don't cry

Now possibilities I'd never considered,
are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard,
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave,
to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved

Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears

Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave

I gotta make up for what I've done
’Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
while you burned in hell, no peace forever

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime,
We fell apart, let's make a new start
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah yeah
But baby don't cry

I will suffer for so long
(What will you do, not long enough)
To make it up to you
(I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do
(Well then I’ll grant you one chance) *
And if it's not enough
(If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough)
If it's not enough
(Not enough)
Try again
(Try again)
And again
(And again)
Over and over again

We’re coming back, coming back
We’ll live forever, live forever
Let’s have wedding, have a wedding
Let’s start the killing, start the killing

"Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?"
"Yes, I do"
"Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?"
"I do"
"I now pronounce you"

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime,
We fell apart, let's make a new start
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah yeah
But baby don't cry

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around
when I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Keep me a secret

So tell me why you've come here to bend and break
I know that you have made the same mistake
Just shut your eyes to leave
This world of sound it's floating away
and I don't know why

You keep yourself so tightly wound, it's about time you break
It's not enough, my foolish words will never...

I keep my secrets safe
I keep them hidden away from you
Like an anchor stuck to the bottom
I know my secret's safe
I know it's hidden away from you
Like an anchor stuck to the bottom

And I have always been the same
You know that I will clean up your mistakes
Just tell me you've found a way to stop believing
Everything you say is a lie

You keep yourself so tightly wound, it's about time you break
It's not enough, my foolish words will never...

I keep my secrets safe
I keep them hidden away from you
Like an anchor stuck to the bottom
I know my secret's safe
I know it's hidden away from you
Like an anchor stuck to the bottom

[Screaming:]
I never had the faith to pick myself up
Come down and take me
I never had the faith to pick myself up
Breathe in, breathe out
Like a magnet, you keep pulling me closer
I want it all to end like this
I was stagnant
Then you entered my life and held it in your hands

(oh, you'll never know)

I keep my secrets safe
I keep them hidden away from you
Like an anchor stuck to the bottom
I know my secret's safe
I know it's hidden away from you


Is this the end of myself?
Is this the end? (Is this the end?)
Is this the end of myself?
Is this the end? (Is this the end?)
This is the end of myself
This is the end

I’m seeing the ocean is rising
Let the water wash it all away
Feel like there’s never tomorrow
When there’s no escaping yesterday
Do you ever miss that feeling?
Don’t pretend like you’re the one who’s lost
I can see the ocean is rising
And I keep sinking

Deep down
It’s getting hard to breathe now
I’m reaching out to touch you
And I can’t feel at all
No I can’t feel at all

I watch the waves from underwater
See the ocean push you all the way
Live like there’s no today
Do you ever get that feeling
You’re the only one who ever pays a cost
Well I’m just as lost

Deep down
It’s getting hard to breathe now
I’m reaching out to touch you
And I can’t feel at all
Deep down
It’s getting hard to breathe now
I’m reaching out to touch you
And I can’t feel at all
No I can’t feel at all

Save yourself, if nothing else
You should save yourself, if nothing else
Save yourself, if nothing else
You should save yourself, if nothing else

The oceans rise above me
Will the water help me find my way
Wash it away

Deep down
It’s getting hard to breathe now
I’m reaching out to touch you
And I can’t feel at all
Deep down
It’s getting hard to breathe now
I’m reaching out to touch you
And I can’t feel at all
No I can’t feel at all

If we've got something going tell me why is he here?
You leave me hanging by a thread when the lion is near.

I'm not about to drop the ball
You clearly cannot say

Why can't you see with my hands holding your eyes open
It's hard for me to think straight when your mouth is moving.

You could have been all I wanted and all that I need.
But you had to leave cause its easy to fall in love with machines

I'm not about to drop the ball
You clearly cannot say

Why can't you see with my hands holding your eyes open
It's hard for me to think straight when your mouth is moving.
[x2]

Go away. No please stay.
Go away. You'll stay. Stay away.
[x2]

Why can't you see with my hands holding your eyes open
It's hard for me to think straight when your mouth is moving.
Shut up sit down but your way out just leave me alone.
You cant make me believe that you have changed at all.

You fall apart each time you start to say goodbye
But there is nobody watching
(nobody watching)
You've lost your grip, you start to slip but don't know why
And this is just the beginning
(just the beginning)
You had the hopes to make it last, it's moving fast
And now you're realizing
(realizing)
That in the past the dreams you had make people feel
Like you were just reciting
(just reciting)

Bathing in the afterglow
A chance at luck and pride
Where we end up we can never know
And all I know is we seem to be

Changing, better to turn and walk away
Fading, all these lights just turn to grey
Changing, better to turn and walk away
But the strange thing
Is that I don't feel a thing

This is an act, stop holding back the things you lost
Cannot replace what's missing
(replace what's missing)
And from the start you played the part and now your heart's
Become a great deception

Bathing in the afterglow
A chance at luck and pride
When we end up we can never know
All I know is we seem to be

Changing, better to turn and walk away
Fading, all these lights just turn to grey
Changing, better to turn and walk away
But the strange thing
Is that I don't feel a thing

One last breath to say goodbye
I tell myself another lie
Stripped of all I hold so dear
The moment's lost and I am sinking down lower
I drown myself in the water
And I am watching my life pass before my eyes
It comes as no surprise

You fall apart and then you stop
You fall apart and then you stop
You fall apart and then you ..
Stop!

Changing, better to turn and walk away
Fading, all these lights just turn to grey
Now I'm changing, better to turn and walk away
But the strange thing
Is that I don't feel a thing

You fall apart and then you stop
You fall apart and then you stop
You fall apart and then you ..
Stop!

Just say, say ain't so

Just say, say ain't so.
This is not the home that I know. (That I know)
I never thought I'd let you down
Never thought I'd let you down
You promised, promised not to let me drown.

In my daydreams, you take over me.
In these daydreams, you take over me.

Can I make it on my own?
Will I ever feel my limbs again?
Is this all in my mind?
Can I make it on my own?
Will I ever feel that way again?
Am I losing my mind?

No way, it's not the same.
This place has had it's way.
I swore to never let you down
I never thought I'd let you down.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I let you drown.

In my daydreams, you take over me.
In these daydreams, you take over me.

Can I make it on my own?
Will I ever feel my limbs again?
Is this all in my mind?
Can I make it on my own?
Will I ever feel that way again?
Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing my mind?

Something's always pulling me under ground.

Is there something staring back at me.
Is there something waiting there for me?
But there never really was,
No there never really was,
(Something's always pulling me under ground)
And there never really was,
(Something's always pulling me under)

Will my daydreams take over me.
Will these daydreams take over me?

Can I make it on my own?
Will I ever feel my limbs again?
Is this all in my mind?
Can I make it on my own?
Will I ever feel that way again?
Am I losing my mind?

Something's always pulling me under...


Open your eyes, tell me why.
Open your eyes, you shall see it.
Open your eyes, tell me why.
Open your eyes, you still sleep with it.

Open your eyes. [x6]

I knew I never deserved you
I just felt so high in size
I move along, I shuffled in place then
Back hand and you're pulling me in
Will I ever find anyone
Who makes me feel like I've been lost somewhere
Now it's morning, it's over, now it's over

Am I right where I need to be
Or is this another distraction
Is this how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go
Is there a change you need to see
Or is this another disaster
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go

No this is never what I wanted
Never what I thought I'd signed up for
And I keep moving away
To the edge then I'll decide whether to jump or stay asleep
Sometimes the leap of faith is all we have
Why won't you tell me

Am I right where I need to be
Or is this another distraction
Is this how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go
Is there a change you need to see
Or is this another disaster
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go

Why won't you wake up
Wake up, nobody's sleeping anymore
And I've had enough of the ground
Made my escape, fell in love with the sound
And I'll pound my fist till you wake up
So why aren't you waking up

And the sun is coming
And the sun is coming out
I can't hide here anymore, no
The sun is coming out

Am I right where I need to be
Or is this another distraction
Is this how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go
Is there a change you need to see
Or is this another disaster
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go

Why don't you wake up

You seem so disappointed within,
this act of yours is just a sin.
You know it's so easy to tell you, "abuse it."
Don't tell me you're useless...
They told me your happy now.

I can't keep holding you up.
I'm overcome by the weight of the mud.
Drying up around you.
You know ill never forget you.

I can't keep holding you up.
Tell me if you ever stop.

I'll never forget you, oh no.
I'll never forget you.

Say goodbye. It's all you wanted.
Let's hope Hollywood cares
I'll open the lens up so you all can
Say goodbye. It's all you wanted.
Lets hope somebody cares.
You'll see that nobody's watching.

Tell me why you wanted to change.
Tell me why you're so nervous to say
what you're really thinking.
The feeling of sinking is setting in.
You used to being so much happier.

I can't keep holding you up.
I'm overcome by the weight of the mud.
Drying up around you.
You know ill never forget you.

I can't keep holding you up.
Tell me if you ever stop.

I'll never forget you, oh no.
I'll never forget you.

Say goodbye. It's all you wanted.
Let's hope Hollywood cares
I'll open the lens up so you all can
Say goodbye. It's all you wanted.
Lets hope somebody cares.
You'll see that nobody's watching.

You can't turn away.
Make up your face and get high.
Make up your face and get high again.
You can't turn away.
Make up your face and get high.
Make up your face and get high again.

'Cause when you sign your deal,
you're as good as dead.


Say goodbye. It's all you wanted.
Let's hope Hollywood cares
I'll open the lens up so you all can
Say goodbye. It's all you wanted.
Lets hope somebody cares.
You'll see that nobody's watching.

Run away and play your games
Hide real well so I can't find you
I will wait for summer to come
Then laugh as the trees burn down around you
Your body was just a test for me
if I run as fast as I can
The thought of your memory
Will catch up with me, will catch up with me

I'm always late with my words
(I tried so hard, I tried so hard)
Should have told you, but I never really cared
(You always misled me)
I'm always late with my words
(I tried so hard, I tried so hard)
Should have told you, but I never really cared
(You always misled me)

You always got the worst of me...

It's a shame, but you're still lying broken here
In this moment, everything just seems so clear
Because her body was just a test, you see
If you run as fast as you can
With the thought of my memory (thought of your memory)
Will catch up to me
Will catch up, you see

I'm always late with my words
(I tried so hard, I tried so hard)
Should have told you, but I never really cared
(You always misled me)
I'm always late with my words
(I tried so hard, I tried so hard)
Should have told you, but I never really cared at all

When summer passes, I'll let go
And if you don't feel me, just dig yourself out
When summer passes, let me know
So I can find a meaning to live

I'm always late with my words
(I tried so hard, I tried so hard)
Should have told you, but I never really cared
(You always misled me)
I'm always late with my words
(I tried so hard, I tried so hard)
Should have told you, but I never really cared
(You always misled me)

You always got the worst of me...

Leave, go on and leave, you said
Turn and walk away
Life's not worth it anymore
You stopped shaking and you slowly faded away
Now you're lying on the floor

I can't hear your heart beating anymore, no
I can't hear your heart beating anymore, no

It's all over now
What am I gonna do with all this time I set aside for you (aside for you)
I won't be needed now
To pick up the phone and call you
Like I'm supposed to know
You were all alone

Gone, memories gone
I know I was the one
Who was ignoring you for way too long
I hope while sleeping
I know that if you're finding solid ground
You'll know everything is, everything is sound

I can't hear your heart beating anymore, now (everything is sound)
I can't hear your heart beating anymore, now

It's all over now
What am I gonna do with all this time I set aside for you (aside for you)
I won't be needed now
To pick up the phone and call you
Like I'm supposed to know
You were all alone

Over now, over now
Maybe someday I can meet you there

It's all over now
What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do

It's all over now
What am I gonna do with all this time I set aside for you
I won't be needed now
To pick up the phone and call you
Like I'm supposed to know
No I won't be needed now
To pick up the phone and call you
Like I'm supposed to know
You were all alone

I imagine we were made, I imagine we were made,
I imagine we were made, I imagine we were...

Woke up again, sweating out all the pores.
And then I feel it again, I know it's coming again.
So I try to make it for an hour or two.
But I know in the end, I know in the end...

This place will hit me so hard.
This face will end up so hard.
Because of you.
It's all because of you

I can't carry this all, I can't carry this on my own
Tell me what did I do wrong?
'Cause I don't remember anything
And I can't carry this all, I can't carry this on my own
Tell me what did I do wrong?
'Cause I can't remember anything

Feels like a bomb going off in my conscious.
and I feel it again, I think it's coming again
How can I run away from all of the sadness?
When no ones around to tell me where to begin.

These steps I climb up so hard.
Your voice will hit me so hard.
Because of you.
It's always because of you.

I can't carry this all, I can't carry this on my own
Tell me what did I do wrong?
'Cause I don't remember anything
And I can't carry this all, I can't carry this on my own
Tell me what did I do wrong?
'Cause I can't remember anything

Now I know the hardest part is letting go (I can't let you go).
I just cannot be afraid of what's below.

I can't carry this all, I can't carry this on my own
Tell me what did I do wrong?
'Cause I don't remember anything
And I can't carry this all, I can't carry this on my own
Tell me what did I do wrong?
'Cause I can't remember anything (can't remember anything).

And you can't carry this all, I can't carry this on my own
Tell me what did I do wrong?
I just can't remember anything.

I imagine we were made.
I imagine we were made.
I imagine we were made.
I imagine we were made for...

Time's runnin' out and I have been betrayed
Gotta cast my stone into the lake (it didn't work, I didn't feel it sink in)
That's all it takes my son then you are safe
When the end comes, everything's okay (we take it back, you take it away)

Take my skin, we're diving in
It doesn't make a difference if I sink or swim
Theres a line drawn thin or so they tell me
I'll never know the difference if we..sink or swim!

Is it real, the choices that we make (is it real)
The smiles that we fake (is it real)
I know it hurts but is it real
The choices that we make
The smiles that we fake for my own sake
I know it hurts but is it...

I can't help feelin' like I've been betrayed
Shoulda cast that stone into the lake (stone into the lake)
Chased in the wrong direction, led astray
And I know you don't believe a single word you say (I can't believe that you can)

Take my skin, we're diving in (we're diving in)
It doesn't make a difference if I sink or swim
Theres a line drawn thin or so they tell me
I'll never know the difference if we..sink or swim!

Is it real, the choices that we make (is it real)
The smiles that we fake (is it real)
I know it hurts but is it real
The choices that we make (is it real)
The smiles that we fake for my own sake
I know it hurts but is this..real...is this real

I don't want to buy into the lie
Stare up at the sky but is it real?
Show me somethin' real.
I don't want to buy into your lies
Stare up at the sky and say "I surrender myself for this,
I'll take the blame (I'll take the blame)
I surrender myself for this, I'll take the blame (oh oh..)

For peace or war, for rich or poor
For loss, for gain, for everything that I loved
I see, I feel, I've become one with words not real to me
So I'll stare in silence
Forward, backwards
Just to realize we all fall..down

Is it real, the choices that we make (is it real)
The smiles that we fake (is it real)
Just tell me is this real (is it real)
The choices that we make (is it real)
The smiles that we fake for my own sake
I know it hurts but is this..real...is this real
Is it real
I need to know, is this real

You look like you’re letting go
I know that you won’t call on me
You look like you’re letting go
I know what my instincts are telling me
And you’re fading out
It’s so hard without you
This wasn’t my fault

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This is all that I remember before you changed
You’re stuck in the dream with next to nothing
I’m all alone and nothings what it seems
Without you next to me

Sometimes it feels like home
So safe in the shade
But when the summer fades
There’s always something missing
And now that I’m on my own
I know why you just
Just couldn’t stop
And why you had to leave
It’s so hard, without you
This wasn’t my fault

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This is all that I remember before you changed
You’re stuck in the dream with next to nothing
I’m all alone and nothings what it seems
Without you next to me

I never imagined I would feel so lost
I never imagined it would be so hard
I never imagined I would feel so lost
I never imagined this would be so hard

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This is all that I remember before you changed
You’re stuck in the dream with next to nothing
I’m all alone and nothings what it seems
Without you next to me

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This is all that I remember before you changed
You’re stuck in the dream with next to nothing
I’m all alone and nothings what it seems
Without you next to me

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Sinking I've fallen in too deep and I regret it
I don't know is all we have left to say
How do we pick ourselves up now
If the clouds bring the rain before we evaporate

I'll never be able to say
I love you I love you I love you

Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes

Thinking
About all of my regrets and contradictions
Where did I go I thought this was the right way
Do I live to grow up now
Or just fade away under this tree of shame

Or will I be able to say
I love you I love you

Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes

And all you do and all you say
Washes away away with the rain
And all you thought would never change
Washes away It'll never be the same
Cause all I see and
All I feel takes me away takes me away

And all you do and all you say
Washes away away with the rain
And all you thought (how could have know)
I'll never change (how could have changed)
Washes away It'll never be the same

Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes

Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes

Wish I could love you
And I don't regret the rain
And now that I'm sinking
I will just say goodbye

Yeah!
I don't feel the same I wish I knew something would happen
She said you'll never understand
They don't treat you the way that they treat me
They treat you different
Now I wish i'd never been

Cause I can't breathe
No I can't see

You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
'Til I locked myself inside my room I'm a stranger in my home

I don't wanna drive cause i don't know where I am going
Get me out of here they don't seem to care
I think you need a place to go
and hide and push rewind and let this all be over (Let this all be over)
Tell me this will be okay, is everything alright?

Cause I can't breathe
No I can't see

You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
'Til I locked myself inside my room I'm a stranger in my home
Stranger in my home
Yeah!

Oh, Oh
Fall asleep let the memories fade
Until you wanna cry (Close your eyes, close your eyes)
Close your eyes let the melody play and fall into rhythm

You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
Stranger in my mind

Oh!

Engine take me home
My blood is poison now
Am I too far beneath the surface
To replace this heart

I was almost there
I never had a care
Just when I hit the ground running
You set me up to fall in quicksand
I'll never get out

Bury me
Yes, burying me
When nothing's left at all
And everything we know is gone
Bury me
Oh, bury me
When nothing's left at all
And everything we know is gone

Lost in this storming state of mind
When I close my eyes tonight
No rhyme, no real reason why
To replace this heart

I don't feel like I'll ever make it
Out alive (running out of time)
Now I'm sinking in quicksand
I'll never get out

Bury me
Yes, burying me
When nothing's left at all
And everything we know is gone
Bury me
Oh, bury me
When nothing's left at all
And everything we know is gone

Can I remember
Close to anything?
Nothing left
Nothing left

Can I remember
Close to anything?
Nothing at all
Nothing here...
Never get out

Bury me
Yes, burying me
When nothing's left at all
And everything we know is gone
Bury me
Oh, bury me
When nothing's left at all
And everything we know is gone
Everything is gone
Everything is gone
Everything is gone

[Screaming]
Gone!
I'll have what it takes
I'll have what I have

So what have we done?
With X and O's to mark our way home (home)
It seems as though we've forgotten
The way we move
Can we save ourselves?
From the one we're becoming

Please monsieur, remember
Don't tell me how to get somewhere better

Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better there

So what have you done
To make yourself a little bit happier
I can feel the vibrations
When you said I'd feel nothing
I'm giving up, so give it up

Please monsieur, remember
Don't tell me how to get somewhere better

Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better there

((This won't mean anything..))
((This won't mean anything...))

This won't mean anything
This won't mean anything tonight
This won't mean anything
This won't mean anything tonight

Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better

((This won't mean anything))
((This won't mean anything tonight...))

Bury your head,
Bury your head,

I was feeling fine,
You’ll be coming clean tonight,
And I’ll be falling down with you once again,
Call me your valentine, call me once tonight,
And I will then say it's okay,

The things you've said, I’m rehearsing them
The things you've said, I’m rehearsing them

They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It’s the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.

Bury your head, has the child smashed you down,
And the psalms will never call me again,
(Fall down below),
I'll sleep tonight
(When you're okay),
And I will then say it's okay,

The things you've said, I’m rehearsing them
The things you've said, I’m rehearsing them

They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It’s the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.

They will be the ones to see him come
Is this what you call love?

They stole my lies,
You write it all,
They wandered around and 'round my mouth,
They stole my lies,
You write it all,
Stole it all,
They have been the ones to see enough

They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It’s the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.

You'll be coming clean tonight...

It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching for any sign
Of the ones he used to love..

He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left...)
And this time I think you'll know..

You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

She's just like him
Spoiled rotten
Confused by the lies she's been fed
And she's searching for no one..
(But herself)
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy
That she is here
And this time I think you'll know...

You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out

(There is more to know)

We're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell..
(So tell me)

You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
(Make it out)
You will live to tell
(Live to tell)
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
(And I know)
You can make it out
You will live to tell..

You are not alone.
You're not, you're not alone.

So, tell me is it right?
To feel like we're only getting smaller
And if we were to find the feeling
But I'm only treading water
We've made a few mistakes, it's not worth it to say
(we all fall for the sound)

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
And we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Believe the sound when the truth will send you falling
You see the lights but your mind isn't open
Now I hear you calling
We've made a few mistakes, it's not worth it to say
(we all fall for the sound)

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
And we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Open your eyes and let all the light in
Open your eyes up a little more
I'm sure it will soon come out

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
And we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Open your eyes and let all the light in
Open your eyes up a little more
I'm sure it will soon come out

We've had one chance to take back
But over and over again
(I'll clean your wounds tonight)
So we can rewind it all 'til I come inside
I'll tear in two and never lie to you
('Cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now
('Cause you wouldn't take me home)
You were right and I wasn't listening
(I never told you what you were missing)

I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from

This was the only way we knew how to make everything just OK
(I'll make it up tonight)
The sun was two steps too close with his waking eyes
We'll make believe that everything's all right
('Cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now
('Cause you wouldn't take me home)
You were right and I wasn't listening
(I never told you what you were missing)

I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
We are the only ones we are running from

I want to break it off
We should stop 'cause there's nothing going on
(On)

I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)

Remind yourself
That they are the ones who will hold you still
My thoughts exploding in thousands of pieces (Thousands of pieces)
It looks so beautiful when, I know it's not love cause

I've been trying (As we are waiting)
I've been trying to let you know
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can show yourself
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can be yourself again

When you notice yourself
as something more than just a reflection
you'll see (you'll see)
it's not me (it's not me)
I guess I'm trying to say,
I know it's not love, but...

I've been trying (As we are waiting)
I've been trying to let you know
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can show yourself
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can be yourself again

Now you've found love, it's shining through
Come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can show yourself
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can be yourself again

Come close, and I will carry you,
Come close, in my arms.

Don't let them know you're watching the situation crumble
(situation crumble)
These things, they take time
And they know, yes, they know they should be better now

She's watching me awkwardly from a distance
Should I care?
Is there something more I should have known?
(we know them)
I know that I wonder

They took his crown
There's nothing more left of him now
(but he will be okay)
I appreciate, now that they choose to ignore
I can set her free to go without a payment plan

She's watching me awkwardly from a distance
Should I care?
Is there something more I should have known?
(we know them)
I know that I wonder

Will she go or follow?
Follow, please follow me home
(me home)
Follow, please follow me home
This won't end like last time
The things you swore, they never made me feel anymore

She's watching me awkwardly from a distance
Should I care?
Is there something more I should have known?
(we know them)
I don't need to wonder

If only I had truthfully seen
That night we'll never re-live
But you and I could not go and walk away
Just close your eyes
You'll never see me crashing down
I see where we had come in doubt
I'd be lonely if you weren't so proud

I have seen so many loving faces
They turn back and leave with looks of regret
The road goes and I am finding home in it

But you and I should not play those games
The world is coming to an end
It's just the way I see my face
And I can never believe
(Now I can see it)
Now I see where things are turning 'round
And I'd be lonely if you weren't so proud

I have seen so many loving faces
They turn back and leave with looks of regret
The road goes and I am finding home in it
The road goes and I am finding home in it

I saw him fly
He's never looked this way
I saw in his eyes
He's never coming down

I have seen so many loving faces
They turn back and leave with looks of regret
The road goes and I am finding home in it
The road goes and I am finding home in it
The road goes and I am finding home in it
(And now you're finally home)
And I am finding home
(And now we're finally home)
And I am finding home in it
