A GREAT FIRE
Burning Down, we can't stop it we got to get out. Start again, our memories are gone forever. Don't try to turn this around on me. I'm the one that saved you. This was my home. This was my life, it's not always just about you. And I as heard the sirens begin to chime, I could feel my heart begin to race. I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me. Mind and soul now the same and my body guides the way. I threw you over my shoulder with the angel on my other. But I'm not your hero. I'll never be what you wanted. What you thought I would be. I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me. Mind and soul now the same and my body guides the way. I can see through my tired eyes, my sickness controls me. Deep inside I know that trust is the mother of deceit. And there you were, six years old ashes in your hair. You're not scared. You've seen so much pain in so few years. As the world becomes a place where no wants to stay, we remain silent until it's too late. And as I hear the planes take over the sky I can feel it coming to the end. And you're burning down my life so slowly. I know in my heart trust is the mother of deceit.

VICES
You can't see me behind the door; I just heard everything you said. You call him; you're saying all the things you used to say to me. Who is he? I never thought you'd drop the avalanche on me and be unfaithful. These hotel walls are paper thin. I'm going out. Seven-seven with a lime will keep me safe, Long enough to stop the thought of your embrace inside my head. The lies that I've been fed. Throw it back behind my lips the pain is gone. Line 'em up and knock 'em down the night goes on and on and on, To let me cope with this disaster. I'm seven deep, long brown hair and blue eyes looking right at me. Who is she? I never thought I'd ever think of stepping out. I'll fight this temptation. This crowded bar is full of sin. I'm going out. I'm not coming home tonight I'd rather sleep on the street. I'm not coming home to you; I won't sleep with the devil. On this city street I'll rest my head tonight.

BROKEN STARS
Shooting daggers at me, letting it be known you're not impressed. I never fail at failing all your tests. Don't be so proud, 'cause you're still so scared to be alone. And you can't change your mind. You won't embrace this, but you'll accept it. You can't let go. Broken stars by a single shattered mirror, seven years of trust. I know you'll never change for anyone. A gold heart never rusts. My mind's made up and now I know I'll do the right thing, get up and stand tall. My mind's made up. Why am I scared I won't be able to get up when I fall? We cast a single shadow for so long now it's so hard to see the sun at all. But you need light to see the writing on the wall. My mind's made up and now I know I'll do the right thing, get up and stand tall. My mind's made up. Why am I scared I won't be able to get up when I... Fall into the hole I've made, I'll brace myself alone. I'll find the strength within myself to climb out on my own. These broken stars can't be put back in the sky. I can still feel the scars. I won't let them die. We won't fade away. And now we will set this all ablaze.

AMERICAN DREAM
"It was on our wedding day. When my heart began to stray. Never thought I'd make such a big mistake throw my life away. I've gone days without food I've went weeks without sleep, keeping this in. I've got cuts I can't close I've got wounds that won't heal. It's all your fault. I've been shattered and wrecked my hands covered in blood, scars on my skin. I forgot how to feel, now I'm weak with deceit, my skin is paper thin. We get through this feeling it, keeping it, holding it in. We go through this, over and over again. I'd go years without tears in a life with no fear, a life without you. Now I'm breaking my back as I cover my tracks. My skin is paper thin once again. We get through this feeling it, keeping it, holding it in. We go through this, over and over again. I've gone days without food I've went weeks without sleep, keeping this in. I've got cuts I can't close I've got wounds that won't heal. It's all your fault. My American dream wasn't ever to lie, steal and cheat. He won't leave her for this. What's the point? I wish they would die. We get through this feeling it, keeping it, holding it in. We go through this, over and over again. We get through this feeling it, keeping it, holding it in. We go through this, over and over again." This was not a test, this was all for real

THEIR LIPS SINK SHIPS
Fly away, leave the bloody path behind your wings. Leave this burning house and break the curse. Let me survive another day.

I KNEW I COULDN'T TRUST YOU
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids. You sold me out, you ran and hid from all your problems, Can't even face your friend. Your best friend. You're holding something in tonight, and I can tell you're not alright. Your poker face concealing, and the cards that you're not dealing. Cross your arms, avert your eyes, you're like a child ashamed to cry. The words inside your head, when I find out you'll wish you said: "I've let you down so many times but I can't ever tell you this, there is no forgiving it. I promised you I'd always be there but that couldn't be less true. It's the worst thing I could do." You're gonna bet it all on black, and when it's gone you'll want it back. 'Cause thrill don't mix with reason and cheating's the ultimate treason. And I can see through you like glass, slither around below the grass. Garden of Eden burning, forbidden fruit you won't discern it. "I've let you down so many times but I can't ever tell you this, there is no forgiving it. I promised you I'd always be there but that couldn't be less true. It's the worst thing I could do." My loss, your gain, it didn't have to be this way. Across your face, it's so legible. Hold in the pain, we're better off this way. We don't abstain; we're better off this way. Friends are in vain; we're better off this way.

BORN DEAD
You call this a privilege. No, I call it a right. There's no respect for life, no compromising, coverage denied. So sit behind your desk and tell me how I'm supposed to feel inside. You know I'm slowly dying, how long I have left is for you to decide. We keep on suffering everyday. We're victims of opportunity. One nation under God they said. We are all born... Dead and rotting bodies fill the fields in the east. There's no respect for life; it never stops. Is this what makes us free? So flex your muscle as you barricade the whole world piece by piece. How long until the ocean overflows into our yards and streets? We keep on suffering everyday. We're victims of opportunity. One nation under God they said. We are all pawns. We are all sheep. We are all born dead. We can't escape this until we unify as one. I'll fight the sickness, until my time has come. We keep on suffering everyday. We're victims of opportunity. One nation under God they said. We are all pawns. We are all sheep. We are all born dead.

A SHIPWRECK IN THE SAND
Once upon a time, before the lakes and rivers were polluted, before the animals were poached to extinction, and before man had destroyed the earth's atmosphere, there was a great ship. This vessel was to venture into new waters, to find new resources, to make life easier and more enjoyable. It was a simple mission for the crew, who were excited to be a part of this union. They pledged their allegiance to the captain, and vowed to be there no matter what, in sickness, health or possible death. As time passed by there was no new land to be found. As the days grew shorter, and the nights grew longer and colder, the crew became more and more skeptical about the captain's vision. Originally passionate and committed, true and faithful, they now began to revolt. "You've crossed the line. I was honest, I never promised anything. Just a brotherhood to stand for something. And everyone should take the lead, follow your dreams. If you don't try you fail." And as the mutiny started and the captain was overthrown and chained, he asked them why their minds had changed. "There's no gold to be found, no treasure in the ground. We won't die for this, we won't die for you" "You've lost your minds, I was honest, I never promised anything. Just a brotherhood to stand for something. And even if they disagree follow your dreams. If you don't try you fail." His dream is now a shipwreck in the sand. They gave up, they made all their demands. The storm consumed 57 souls who died in vain, his love they stole. This union, a battle fought and lost. This union was not about the cause. This union was never about love.

I AM THE ARSONIST
Throwing up at the thought of you two. How could you do this? My best friend with my bride, Now you tell me you are leaving. They'll see a fire through the dark night sky, I hope you're home when I arrive. And if there's a pyre in the afterlife, I'll be there again to light the match. Burn! Gasoline, fire, it's the perfect combination. Light it up. Burn it down. Breathe in my addiction. "I am the light that warms up your body, that sets free the demons inside. I am the one, that never ignores you that never will let you down." They'll suspect, but they'll never prove, I was there. In my veins, I feel the rush of adrenaline. It's so hard, to run away, when I want to stay, To watch it burn, watch it turn into dust. "I am the light that warms up your body, that sets free the demons inside. I am the one, that never ignores you that never will let you down."

YOU'RE ALL I HAVE
I wake up in the afternoon. Empty walls make up the room. And I'm wishing for one thing, To give myself the strength to keep myself alive, Long enough to make sure you don't try to turn out anything like me, Another fraud another fake. Don't pretend you're not the one who's wrong. You're keeping me sane when I'm feeling alone. I wield my heart in my flesh and bones. Don't leave to die by myself, I can't live without you. The sunlight's creeping through the blinds calling me from these confines. There's only so many more days, until you're cast away from ever seeing me. They won't understand they'll never see the way you medicate my head. Without you here I'm left for dead. You're all I have in a world that judges long before it sees. You're all I have in a place that hates me, And only wants to push me down, now I'm forsaken, Past the point I'll bend you'll break me, I won't be fine you're all mistaken. Don't pretend you're not the one who's wrong. Don't you pretend it's gonna be ok. Don't lie and say it's better off this way. Don't pretend you're not the one who's wrong.

WE ARE NOT THE WORLD
I've always been your favorite game, And all the world's your spot lit stage. I'm just another extra in your play - the fool. Turn on, tune in. I'm ready for your drama. Tape up, weigh in. You're throwing every hook tonight. Your charismatic lies make tears run down their cheeks. I've lost the only thing I need. Here's to the plaintiff. And now you've taken her away. I've always been your favorite game, And all the world's your spot lit stage. Just another extra in your play - your fool. Pull out the pin, I'm falling on the grenade now. Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm just a kid like you. We fight for billionaires who bomb our city streets (Armed to the teeth). Divide the youth for corporate greed, here's to the propaganda. And now they take your life away. I've always been your favorite game, And all the world's your spot lit stage. Just another extra in your play. And now that war has been declared, how long until bombs burst in air? We've come too far just to let this die, to throw this away. We are not the world.

A HERO LOSES EVERYDAY
Hey, I've lost everything. Now, I've gotta find a way out. Hey, they keep asking me, where I was when it was burning. There's no trying to explain, they'll lock me up again. Throw away the key. The protagonist became, the villain they disdain in every way. Hey, I've lost everything. But I'm gonna find a way out. Hey, nothing's left for me, except malady and hatred. No evidence was found, they'll let me go for now at least 'til tomorrow. Hey, when tomorrow brings the morning sun again I'll be long gone. Now, as I drive away and leave the past behind, I think I'm dying. It's so pathetic, I hate you so much but I still miss you. Karma is hard to change, when everything you do and say is awful. Remorse is hard to fake, when you only feel sorry for yourself. I'm coughing up more blood, it's filling up my lungs, it's killing me. Hey, when tomorrow brings the morning sun again, Ill be long gone. Dead, lying all alone on this motel room floor, I know I'm dying. Hey, I've lost everything. Now, I've succumbed to grace. Hey, it's not that surprising. A hero loses everyday.

THE TIDE RAISES EVERY SHIP
Fire burns in me.

THE END
The first time we met, your face became etched in my mind. You were the sun; I was the one, who worshipped you. My hands were your guns; your eyes were my muse. And I knew you could never love me. I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach. But can I still keep a place in your heart? "You broke my heart. You promised me the moon and stars. I fell for your dreams. I fell for your lies. There was no other way, you know I tried. And I knew you could never love me. I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach. But can I still keep, a place in your heart?" There is something, I want you to know. I think you know exactly what it is. I didn't want to save you. I didn't want to save you. I set our house on fire, to watch it burn. But I couldn't just leave you there. And I knew you could never love me. I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach. But I'll ask you this... Will you still miss me? "Yes I'll miss you." Do you love me? "Yes I love you." Planes fill the sky; we'll both die tonight. We'll both die tonight. Hands from the sky swat us away like flies, as we follow the light. This union a battle fought and lost. This union was not about the cause. This union was never about love.

SOUND OF THE SUN
You've cast these scars across my face, You can't bring me down. You think I'll never be the same. And I don't know what's wrong with me, I wanted to be all the things you need, all the things you need. And now I'm standing here alone, I'm waiting for it all to come and go, all to come and go. Maybe I just have to let it go. Make it up, make it up when you're not around. Break it up, break it up can't you hear the sound of the sun, rising from the ground? Make it up, make it up when you're not around. Break it up, break it up, do you always want to be the one running from yourself? And nothing's ever as it seems, when all your dreams exist in memories, exist in memories. And all the trauma takes its toll, I don't remember all our common goals, all our common goals. Maybe you just have to let me know. It's not you I'm afraid of. But I'm not scared of myself. You'll lie with or without me. You'll never need my help.

BODIES AND WORDS
This conversation always ends with goodbye. You're standing here behind the door, you're waiting with your rope. Maybe you just have to sleep in someone else's bed. Maybe you just have to keep searching for something better than perfect, which you know will never exist, it's cut and dried. There's no defense like a good offense, you know this. The clock is running down on me, there's no way I can win. I've known this all along. I loved you anyways despite all your deceit. Think about if you had been faithful how I would have felt. Now all we have left are bodies and words. I can't be a boy forever.

IF YOU COULD SEE INTO MY SOUL
I hear you choking on your words again, the secrets in your throat. And I really wish you'd say what you're thinking. We've been down this road so many times before, my stomach cannot take it. I've been killing time, you've been crossing lines, you say: Get Ready, get ready, get ready for this. I'm taking out my dagger. Just say it, just say it, just say it for me. I'm holding it up to your throat. Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready for this? You don't want to hear it. Just say it, just say it, just say it again. It will tear your soul apart again. I'm leaving you out in the cold again, I'll let you freeze to death. I won't let you see the flames, just the chimney. Where there's smoke there's fire but I'm such a good liar, you can't read the signals. And my lips are sealed from saying words that deal your shame. Stick to your guns. You've been betting it all on a long shot since day one. You gotta call a spade a spade. There is no ace up your sleeve, how can you believe you will win?

WORLDS APART
Lying all alone, wishing you would call. Writing all my thoughts has broken all my bones. You gave it all up, you threw it all away. There's nothing I can do. What do I think you've done? You know it's even worse than what's in my head. You don't believe me when I tell you: I don't want to be a fraud and pretend that everything's fine. I won't be here when you get home. I'm not gonna sit here and die. I'll follow through again this time, I'll swallow swords spit out my pride. I'll be just fine. You read me like a book. You know I'm running out of legs to stand on. I won't believe you when you tell me: These old habits die so hard, there's no intervention in sight. There's no point in calling you. We're just gonna stand here and fight. I'll follow through again this time. I'll swallow swords spit out my pride. I'll be just fine. You fill my head with endless lies, you're killing me, I'm killing time. I'll be just fine. So maybe one day the pain will go away. And I will see your face, I won't even care. I'm changing all the locks cause I can't change you.

MY DISASTER
You've crossed the line, you're running in circles, now you've lost all self control. You medicate so you can fall asleep. Your mind just won't shut down. I wonder where you are. I wonder if you've found your other self or are you still somebody else? There's so much bottled up inside. And it's been shaken up it's going to explode. You can't stop it, you just can't stop it. You say you're done. You swear you've gave it up. Running in circles you don't even care that you're going nowhere. You hate yourself. I still wonder where you are. I wonder if the thorns still in your side, will you pull it out in time? And now it starts to overflow, and spill its guts and ruins someone's soul. You can't stop it, you just can't stop it. You are my disaster I cant stop chasing after. You're my disaster, I can't stop chasing you.

STILL DREAMING
2am I lie down deep in slumber, feelings of falling downward, I want to forget. Waking up I hear the way your voice sounds, my heart starts to pound now, to the rhythm of yours. You're so angelic, your words so symphonic. Touch your lips to my soul, eat this sorrow away. How am I so lucky I found you? Sometimes I feel like I'm still dreaming. It seems like everyday you're always on my mind. This is how we stay so connected, so connected over space and time. When we talk about all my old drama, you look at me and wonder, how I'm not insane. Every week the days seem to get longer, but you know our love gets stronger, with every word we say, stronger everyday. You know I would do anything for you. If you were feeling down, you know I'd feel it now. We give each other strength to make it through the darkness. You take me to a place I never want to leave. I'm in my deepest dream I don't ever want to wake up. I'll fight 'til I die. I won't say goodbye and I won't let this pass me by. Let's run away, run away, run away now. Let's go away, go away to someplace safe, I want it all, now I want everything. This is how we stay so connected, so connected over space and time.

THE SAND WILL TURN TO GLASS
I can't believe that I can be full of so much hate. Another hero dies, the devil wins, the people hide their shame. Lies were spoken, bonds were broken, can he ever change? Turn your back and run away as fast as you can. Don't mark your name. Half a dozen guns all pointed straight at the hunted one. A misfired shell you've shot the only thing you love. Sunshine turns to darkness everyday. The fragile's born from honesty losing faith. I can't believe how suddenly guilty hearts can mend. I know myself I've killed and I'll do it again.

HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW
30 hour drive from home, you'd think I'd feel so alone, that couldn't be less true. Family traveling by my side, lifelong friends we can't deny, see the world with you. Here today, gone tomorrow. We're saying our goodbyes. Drive away from the past. Don't be sad, don't feel sorrow. The memories in our hearts, I won't forget. An icy road with no remorse. A metal box drifting off course has taken everything. I can't believe we lost you. I can't feel any worse now. This must be a dream, when will someone wake me? All my life, I've never felt so strong as when we're all together. All my days, I've never felt so powerless when you were taken away. There's no one in this world with so much love and so much passion. We'll say goodbye but we won't forget the liberty and fortitude. RIP Beatz

VANITY AND GREED
Don't say you miss me yet I must concede. There's something I have to explain. It isn't easy playing your way. I can't even begin to say. I'm taking back my conscience, I'm gonna take control. I've seen the bravest lions shy away. I've seen the tallest trees fall down. I've made a hobby of self-depricating my honesty and my integrity. Don't let me drag you down. Don't say goodnight, say goodbye. You can't mend a scar. You can't fix a shattered heart. Don't even try. I'll sell you every ounce of honesty. You'll buy it all and lie with me. I cant pretend there's any truth to me. It's all just vanity and greed. I'm taking all your karma, I'm gonna need it more. Here's my advice, if you know what's good for you, don't let your guard down.

LOVE WITH CAUTION
The river's running fast right now, it's the time of year the water cleanses itself. Running wild, but always in control. And nows the time to sever the ties to habits that weaken, disguised by tradition. Drain away this fear until it disappears. I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink, I just want to float through the sea. Are you pulling me down, are you holding me up? Or are you slowly drowning me? There's something to be said for luck, it's better than being good. When half of being good is being lucky anyways. We're spreading out, we're harder to hit. Become a moving target drop your burden and abandon it! I remember a day, when I could walk right down the street and feel so confident and know everything's ok. Take my hand, don't let go but please remember hearts can grow. We still have to take it slow, I love with caution and trust alone.

TRUE ROMANCE
I'm not here to judge you, I'm just here to tell you what you have done wrong. Beautiful girl, looking her best, takes off a towel puts on a dress. Fixes her hair to look good for someone who waits in a car to go to a motel. I may not always be perfect but I'll always try. Will you say your prayers just to be honest with yourself? Will you save your soul? Is this what you wanted all along? Husband can't bear to just lie to himself. Stock market falls and he loses it all. He sleeps alone for the third time this week. He's become numb he wants this to be over. Blood on the floor. What have you done? Head in your hands. What have you done? Beautiful girl, sleeps by herself, half the beds cold, she knows it's her fault. She's given in and admitted defeat, but she'll be fine.

RAIN WILL FALL
It was just another day. Cars were driving by and people lined the streets. We were walking side by side, but there was something on my mind. And I couldn't bear to walk another step with this inside. The rain will fall and wash it all away. Our fears will call. There's some things you don't just say. But when it's been so long there's just no other way. I can't do this anymore, I can't pretend that I'm not bored. And I don't want to spend the rest of my life out of my control. The rain will fall and wash it all away. Our fears will call and make us run away. This is the last thing left to do and if there's one thing I have learned. You can only lie to yourself for so long until it becomes truth. I know I can't be the one left holding the bag. I wish I could not make it hurt so bad. Don't be surprised I'm gonna let you run away. Don't turn around I'm gonna walk the other way. I'm not going to chase you down the street. I won't chase you.

FALLING DOWN
Cut through the skin with knives of words. I'm still bleeding out questions of nerve. What will it take to sort this out. It's still lodging it's blade in my heart. Silence hurts more than the worst sound. Now it's too late to call. Say I'm wrong and throw the first round. I'm still falling down. Fill out the papers, file the forms. And I'm signing you up for the war. This is the way we've learned to cope. Insecurities take over hope. I can see you and me on the water tonight. Blood red sky lets me know you'll be here by my side. And tomorrow we will wake up, we can start again. We have so much left to learn from all of our mistakes. You can trust me. I won't give up, I won't let you go.

YOUR SWORD VERSUS MY DAGGER
I'm cutting through, you're bleeding out, and I would tell the truth but I can't help myself. Red rushes out, dissect this nerve, and I'll stop myself before I reach my cell. I wasn't asking for the world. And you know that I'm not one to follow through. All these city streets the people look the same, and I can see your face, and I can hear your name. I wasn't asking for the world. You're stabbing in, permanent scars, and you'll justify it all inside yourself. You've finished me, my pulse is gone, and you're satisfied to put this all to hell. Drink the poison when you think it's over, stabbing yourself when you think it's too late. Tragic endings are your thing; you love them. You love letting go, the ending's the same. Drink the poison when you think it's over, inevitable, Verona lives inside of you.

SMILE IN YOUR SLEEP
When I'm lying in your bed, play the motions through my head. You know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking. And I have reasons to believe that I'm not the only one you spend this time with. But I'll stay. You say you're weak you won't let me down, you won't let me down. You lie through your teeth, you smile in your sleep, you smile in your sleep. When we met you said we were the same, you know that we're different, we're different. And all the times you promised me that everything would work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken. You lie through your teeth, you won't let me down, I deserve better than this. I dream of steel. Maroon and warm, your end. You gasp for air. I'll see this through, I'll see through you, your pale blue eyes. When you're lying in your bed, your eulogies been read, you know that it's fitting, you lie.

THE IDES OF MARCH
Tie me up with sheets, and hang me from your tree. I'll stay out here all night. It doesn't even matter. As long as I can see into your room, and feel like I'm inside your life, I'll follow you forever. Don't cut me down just yet, I'll make things right again. Don't close your blinds on me. I will never recover from this, I will believe in this again. I can never go back to the way i used to be before this started. The snow won't go away, my nose runs down my face. No one sees me here. It doesn't even matter. And every step I take I stay in the same place, I can't begin to start again, why can't I just be perfect? You've seen my ghost and you'll never forget it. My face is as white as the snow that haunts me. Your windows my door and nothing can stop me. Sometimes betrayal can make you happy.

FIST WRAPPED IN BLOOD
Finish me off, follow the plan. Break all the bonds, sever the ties. And now your mission is complete, find and destroy me. Torturing me, with words from your lips. Flaying my skin, pulling my teeth. Please forgive me for not being good enough. Drown your sorrows in my pain. And it's something you can't explain. When I'm choking on words you'll never say. And you'll never feel the same. Bound and gagged, I cannot move or speak these things I want to say. I can't explain them anyway. So if I had it all again, if I could start from the first words I ever said. I would do it all the same. Your joy is my pain. My fingers are yours to cut off. And my bones are yours to shatter in pieces. My teeth are yours to pull out. And my soul is yours to slowly rip apart. I can't trust anyone I meet. From now on, my chest feels more like a fist wrapped in blood.

DISCOVERING THE WATERFRONT
I will promise myself I won't care, distracting myself from your stare. And I've seen this mistake once before, wiith your games I will never fall for. I've hung up my guns. I won't kill again. I won't forget you. I'm not gonna let you win, but I'm tired of lying, tired of fighting you. And it's not going to change. You asked for my heart, you know that I'm down. But not the way you lie to me and tear it all apart. And beg for me to stay. I've sailed off to sea. I'm not coming back. Counting down, make that sound. And you know it makes no sense. Counting down, 'til you mess around. And I know you can't ever change. When I'm trembling, thrown overboard, and I'm ready to relive the past. Counting down, make that sound. Break the silence. Pretend it's not forever, I'll pull myself together, I'll say that I'll forget her I'll breathe. And I'll say she never hurt me, and look at it as learning, and laugh about the good and the bad. Because I won't live forever, we don't belong together, I know I'll feel better one day when I can make it through.

DEFEND YOU
I'm lying down and you can't see, why I've gone to sleep. Try to relate, can't give into your temptation. All your hopes and dreams, washing away silently. Forget everything you taught me when I looked up to you. Fall to your knees, and give up your aspirations. Falling to your knees. So how can you expect me to just close my eyes and forget your mistakes? Defending you is getting harder everyday. I'm breaking down, the ending's near, the final call to make it through, you'll choose. Try to relate, forget everything you taught me when I looked up to you. I'll look inside myself for strength, like a million times before, you'll never let it in because I know you said... Fall, how can you let it go? How can you be this way? I'll never forget where I come from where I've been. I'll never become you. You've lost it all.

MY HEROINE
The drugs begin to peak. A smile of joy arrives in me. But sedation changes to panic and nausea, and breath starts to shorten, and heartbeats pound softer. You won't try to save me. You just want to hurt me and leave me desparate. You taught my heart a sense I never knew I had. I can forget the times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth. How do you do it? You're my heroine. You won't leave me alone. Chisel my heart out of stone. I give in everytime. I bet you laugh at the thought of me thinking for myself. I bet you believe that I'm better off with you then someone else. Your face arrives again. A hope I had becomes surreal. But under your covers, more torture than pleasure. And just past your lips there's more anger than laughter. Not now or forever will I ever change you. I know that to go on, I'll break you my habit. I will save myself.

ALWAYS AND NEVER
This was my fate, giving in, to your lips to your eyes. I should have known it would come back to haunt me. Crooked smile, a reflection in your eyes that shows my weakness for beautiful mistakes, something that I know you've seen before. I'm not the first. Set the trap, I'm falling for it everytime. I can't believe everyone knew from the start. This would come back to haunt me. I can't stand to see you now. How could I ever trust you? I'll take it back to the streets I'll start again. I'll never look back, i'll never look back. How do you feel, I bet you don't feel anything. Don't have a heart attack, don't have a heart attack, but i won't stop you. Flying high, razor blades make perfect lines, on just about anything you want. Broken pores spill out, everything you want to say, it shows my weakness for falling in love with, my wallowing despair that shines in black. It consumes me. I'll take it back, I'll build it back to what it was. Cut me out of your life like It's nothing, like i'm nothing. Make believe you can love, that it's better, that you're better. Part of me is gone, you've taken pieces from me. You won't stop. You'll never change.

ALREADY DEAD
You won't find me here, the place that you expected me to be, in my bed on the second floor. I'm outside your house, I'm closing in on you. And all the times you smiled, you said hello and thought I was ok. I was planning your final struggle. When you wake up I'll be there. When you see me you'll be on your back again. When you know you're already dead, you'll love me too. You will find me here, the place you least expected me to be. Breaking through your basement window. I'm outside your room, I can hear you breathe. And all the times you laughed, you shook my hand and thought I was your friend. I was planning your tragic ending. You'll look down on me, with eyes of endless tragedy. Try and stop the pain, but there's never closure. Find your solace in what you could have been. When they look for me, the evidence is buried deep. Try to guide the way into the darkness. Looking down on me through eyes that never stop crying. Looking down on me, will you ever look away?

THREE HOURS BACK
Indifference grows, indifference feeds on me. A sickness fills the pathways where I breathe. Miles away, from where I want to be. One day, you will see. Nothing is this simple, this simple. One day, you will see. It takes it's toll on me, toll on me. Hey, lie awake and wait out all those days until I finally come home. Changed and jaded, everything that I hate, I'll be there. Trading in my youth for broken wings as I slowly watch you walk away. So walk away. Will you stay, or will you walk away? Fall asleep, to flashing screens and paper cuts. Waking up, with vacant eyes and broken hearts again.

CALL IT KARMA
Blame it on the weather, but I'm a mess. And this February darkness has me hating everyone. And I know I need your comfort, but this drama makes me sick. And the longer I lay here, I know it's harder to get up without you. Lose another day here, lose another year here, i'm with you. Finally something out there that's making sense. And its just another trend carefully hidden in your dress. And this cycle's neverending, and this fashion's overdone. And the further that I run away the further I'll come back to shelter. Lose another day here, lose another year here, i'm with you. You are the fire, on my apartment floor, Sixteen stories, I'd rather burn than fall. It isn't fate, that took us all by storm. It's just the turn of a card. Goodbye old friend, Goodbye. Good night. I'll move on, you'll call it fate, I'll call it karma. We had our time, it was fun while it lasted. I'll look back with honour and no regrets, I won't be mad, won't feel bad, these memories will never leave me. Don't be sad, because life goes on, life goes on. It's getting too late, tomorrow is here.

SMASHED INTO PIECES
Never again. I'll slit my throat with the knife I pulled out of my spine. Maybe when you find out that I'm dead, you'll realize what you did to me. And if my lungs still let me breathe, would you be there for me? If I can make myself believe, I'll give you back what you took away. No, I won't let it go. Douse myself in gasoline. So don't save me when you come into the fire. I'd rather die than have to see your smile. You made me swear. I can't sleep. Realize all these things that you took from me. Smash my heart into dust. Suffocate my mind. Tear at me from inside. Smash apart what you created. How can I ever stop you from crushing my soul? It was yours to begin with.

RED LIGHT PLEDGE
The ending's the same, past mistakes that you made come back to haunt you. I made a mistake; I wish I could take back everything that I did. I wanted to tell you, I really did. But how do I explain this? Promise me you will be there until the red light will change. I would wait forever. Promise me you will stay here until the darkness will fade, I'd wait for you.

GIVING UP
I used to make the light shine for you. The sun has left my sky. Velvet walls surround my sorrows. I've sacrificed my pride. You're giving up on me. I've laid myself to sleep tonight. I know you've played out everything in your mind. And now you throw it all away. A shattered memory that you would stay, through thick and thin with me. You're giving up on me. And when you feel the pain, I'm wishing I could stay. How can I say I love you back, you never made me happy. You've laid yourself to sleep, I never said this wouldn't hurt. You gave up everything; I never said I'd give it back. I know you'll never change; I won't be good enough for you. I know, you'll make it through, I'll never be around to see.

NOVEMBER
Fragile leaves hit the ground. The cold air drifts into my lungs. I see your face through the fog. Reminds me of the dreams you lost. I can see it in your eyes. You're broken down; your hands are tied. I can feel it in my side. Over and over and over I've tried. You're broken down; your hands are tied. And I know you cannot hide. Over and over and over I've tried. It broke my heart. It felt so good to see you. I've never been one to put my trust in. When did I become so weak, or have I always been? I can't put all this back in place. This gaping hole in my chest is filled with deceit. I fear that all my cries fell upon deaf ears. I caress flesh with severed nerves. I go veiled in darkness and disease. This November swallows me whole. And this may be the closest thing that you'll ever receive to an apology. I close my eyes and I can see you dead.

LAST DAYS OF SUMMER
The bright light beams from her eyes like broken glass. Or a broken heart, who would have guessed? You'd leave me here. Beneath my eyes I feel the tears, I hold back. I won't leave this way again. As my legs start to shake, I feel nothing. I wanted you, I needed you, but you weren't there for me this time. I won't leave this way again. You that I loved, that I needed. You weren't there. Not this time. What can I do? I was supposed to love you. What can I say? I won't leave. What can I do? I was supposed to help you. I cannot feel. Last breath I feel, warm air intake. The last summer's day, last one I take. I won't leave this way. Lost it all for you. When the shadows beam, misery remains. I won't leave this time.

BLEEDS NO MORE
My heart bleeds no more; now, it's been turned to stone. Your stomach feels sick for someone else. I've broken both my legs falling for you. Drag me on the ground. Powerless I stand, tarnished blade, cutting through, pushed into my vein. Blood still stains my hands. Sharpening my sense of pain outside, my heart bleeds no more. Killing everything off inside. Make sense of everything you tried to hide, hide from me. My heart bleeds no more; now, it's been turned to stone. My stomach feels sore from cutting up. I ruined all my sanctity for you. Smash me on the ground. I wanted to convince myself there's nothing else to do. I wanted to. Provide you with proof of what you put me through. I wanted to. Pretend that I was you. Killing everything off inside. Make sense of everything you tried to hide, hide from me. My heart bleeds no more; now, it's been turned to stone. Your stomach feels sick for someone else. I've broken both my legs falling for you. Smash me on the ground.

HEAR ME OUT
When everyone has left me here, I'll make it on my own. Just wait and see. Maybe if you came back down, you'd see it happening to you. Maybe you'd even care. Hear me out, I don't think you'll make it out. Hear me out, see the writing on the wall. Burn your bridge and wear your heart out on your sleeve. You know you won't fool me. You made all these promises. You broke all these promises to me. Follow your heart this time. Did you mean all those things you said? Even when you said you'd never change. Writing you letters you never read. Waste my breath on paper. When you reflect do you get that feeling like you used to? And every time you run away. I know you still have memories. Now that you've left. Make me feel like I'm gone. You did all these things I hated.

THE WEAK AND THE WOUNDED
The end begins. I can't escape as it pulls me further into anesthesia. Tear down my sense of conviction. Corrupt my soul. The end begins. In my eyes. In my heart. I have laid upon a deadman's bed, only to fall into a trap of lies and seduction that rivals the greatest sense of love. Play it back until the voice becomes just a sound. Penetrate my mind with all these images of you. I have given up an angel's kiss. Only to break apart your path of trust and burn myself down. Struggle to the end; I scare myself. I'd give it all to have it back. I could have had it all in front of you all by myself. Love in my eyes, lust in my heart. I made it all up. Lies, deceit empowers me, so it ends.

WISH I COULD FORGET YOU
You won't repeat this for the rest of the crowd. I know they will miss but you'll still feel proud. Say it's gold, say it's fine. The secret's out that you're mine. The television radiates as the clock ticks on and on and oná It's getting too late and it's time to move on.

WHEN BROKEN IS EASILY FIXED
I can resist everything except temptation. My body breaks, but I am still intact inside. My human instinct, I can love unconditionally. Cross my heart and lie to you (my conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair) Failure within me. Promise you and let you down (Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself) Brings me to my knees. Follow me, lead you astray (nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail) Loathe myself to sleep. Your words kill me. You can breathe without oxygen and live without sorrow. How I envy you, though pity your ghost. Ignorance is bliss I wish I could never love you. So ironic that a heart made by man, when broken is easily fixed. But a human hurt can last a lifetime. Rust or decay. The fire or the flame. You and I will lead the path to change. Pave the way.

WAITING FOUR YEARS
I gave you everything, but it just wasn't enough to make you stay. You said you'd give me time and space again. I asked to see you everyday. Now I'm waiting four year just to feel your touch, waiting four whole years to say how much I care. The flowers I gave you, died, lost and been thrown away, just like me. Life has passed me by, reflected in my eye. Never again will I have you beside me, you to be there. The years behind cost more than I'll ever have. Now I'm waiting four years just to hear your voice, waiting four whole years to lie right by your side. I waited all this time, just to see your smile. I waited all this time to say how much I care. Can you see me waiting for you everyday?

FRIENDS IN FALLRIVER
Your life lives half a nation away, my heart hurts so. I believe letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life. What did I do? Alone and confused. What can I say? What can I do? I'm heading the wrong way home. Knowing alone is alone. It's just too difficult to be just me instead of we. What did I do? Alone and confused. What can I say? Nothing. I don't know where to begin since you left me for him. I don't know where to begin and you left me for him. I don't want to start again, and I can't be your friend. I don't know where to begin since you left me for him.

SUMMER'S STELLAR GAZE
As time passes us by and hurries us with pride, we'll have the past for the rest of our lives. Don't lose touch with reality, compensate for life's stupidity. I wait for it. You know that it's true. You cannot lose. A summer can't be forgotten from the words that you speak. Summer's stellar gaze. I wait for it. You know that it's true. You cannot lose. You're one of the few. Summer's Stellar Gaze.

MY CONSOLATION
You left me, now you come back to me saying it's changed and we're not the same people we once were. And you beg to be back with me, I can't see anything but you. Every night, I see you there. Everyday, I hate you and everything we once were. You keep saying it's changed and we're not the same. And you beg to be back with me, now I can't see anything. I won't forget everything that you put us through. Every night, I see you there. Everyday, I hate you. Crying can't carry you back to me.

FOREVER AND A DAY
I thought we'd be together forever. But it seems I was wrong and everything's falling apart. Think of what I've done for you. Think of all that we've been through. I hope every time he breaks your heart you think of me and how I was to you. Everything's falling apart. One day you'll see just how good I was. And I thought that we'd be together forever.

DAWN OF THE FALL
It was yesterday you told me you loved me. But today I learned you found someone else and everything was fake. When I get back home I know that you'll be gone. And all the things I've given you are left behind; I'll put them in a box. And today I found out you moved in with him. A one-bedroom apartment down the road from the place we first met. When I get back home I know that you'll be gone. With all the memories of me you had locked here in this box. And I'll start to think of everything we had. I was always there for you I asked for nothing in return I swear. I'll believe, you'll make you see. You were there with someone else. See my pain, I'll believe you were there with him. I don't want to see your face again, not like this. I don't have to see you in this place. I don't want to see your face again. I will not be ashamed not now. This time I won't be ashamed of it. This time I won't make it change myself. This time I will make myself believe. My heart, it won't break this time, won't be left behind, I won't be so shy; I won't let you win this time.
