Your Sword Versus My Dagger
I'm cutting through, you're bleeding heart
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
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
drink the poison when you think it's over
(drink the poison)
stabbing yourself when you think it's too late
tragic endings are your thing; you love them
(tragic endings)
you love letting go, the ending's the same
drink the poison when you think it's over
(drink the poison)
inevitable, Verona lives inside of you
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
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...
[Chorus]
You say you're weak,
you wont let me down [x2]
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep [x2]
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
[Chorus]
You lie [x4], you lie through your teeth
you wont let me down, you lie
and I deserve better than this
I dream of steel maroon and red
your end[x3], You gasp for air
I'll see this through, I'll see through you,
your pale [x4], your pale blue eyes
When you're lying in your bed, your eulogies been read
you know that it's fading, you lied
[Chorus]
You smile [x4] and I deserve better than this
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 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 (on me)
[Chorus]
I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started
This 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?
I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started [x2]
You've seen my ghost and you'll never forget it
My face is as white as the snow that haunts me
Your window's my door and nothing can stop me
Sometimes betrayal can make you happy
Don’t cut me down just yet
I'll make things right again
Don’t close your blinds on me (on me)
I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started [x2]
Fist Wrapped In Blood
Come on!
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.
Filleting 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.
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.
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
With your games I will never fall for
I've hung up my guns
I won't kill again
I won't forget you
I won't forget you
I'm not gonna let you win
(I'm not gonna)
I'm tired of lying
Tired of fighting you
And its not gonna change
You ask for my heart
You know that I'm down
But not the way you lie to me
You tear it all apart
And beg for me to stay
I've sailed off to sea
I'm not coming back
I won't forget you
I won't forget you
I'm not gonna let you win
I'm not gonna
I'm tired of the lying
Tired of fighting you
And its not gonna change
Counting down
Make that sound
And you know it makes no sense
Counting down
Till you mess around
When I know you can't ever change
Why do you think I'm trembling?
Thrown us apart
When I'm ready to relive the past
Counting down
Make that sound
Break the silence
Pretend its not forever
Ill pull myself together
Ill say that ill forget her
Ill breathe
And ill say she never hurt me
And look at it as learning
And laugh about the good and the bad
Because I will live forever
We don't belong together
I know ill feel better
One day when I can make it through
I won't forget you
I won't forget you
I'm not gonna let you win
I'm not gonna
I'm tired of lying
Tired of fighting you
And its not gonna change
I won't forget you
(Counting down)
I'm not gonna let you win
(Counting down)
I'm tired of the lying
Tired of fighting you
And its not gonna change
Defend You
I'll write it down
Where you can see
I have gone to sleep
Try to relate
Can't give in to your temptations (temptations)
All your hopes and dreams, I'll take away
Its time that I forget everything
you've taught me (you've taught me)
When I looked up to you
Fall to your knees
And Give up your aspirations (aspirations)
Fall in to your knees
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
And forget everything
Defending you is getting
harder everyday, day
I'm breaking down
Behind this fear
If I don't go to my addiction
Make it through yourself
All your hopes and dreams, I'll take away
Its time that I forget everything
you've taught me (you've taught me)
When I looked up to you
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
And forget everything
Defending you is getting
hard everyday, day
I look inside myself for strength
Like a million times before
You'll never let it in because
I know you said
I know you said
I know, I know, I know, I know
Fall, I'll show you where this goes (where this goes)
How can you live this way
I'll never forget (Never forget)
Where I come from, Where I've been
I'll never forget you
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
And forget everything
Defending you is getting
harder everyday, day
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
And forget everything
Defending you is getting
harder everyday, day
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 desperate
You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't 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
You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You're my heroine
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 then pleasure
And just past your lips
There's more anger then laughter
Not now or forever will I ever change you
I know that to go on I'll break you, my habit
You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You're my heroine
I will save myself!
Always And Never
This took my fate, giving in
To your lips, To your Lies
You say that, that it would come back to haunt me
Crooked smile, the reflection in your eyes
That shows Why wait this for Beautiful mistakes
Something that I know you've seen before
I'm not the first
Set the trap, I've fallen for it every time
I can't believe, everyone you told this to
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you
Take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back
How do you feel it if
you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
don't have a heart attack
But I won't stop you
Cutting Me, razor blades and perfect lines
Were just, you'll get anything you want
Broken hearts surround everything you wanna say
Which shows, why wait this for Falling in my path
My wallowing despair that shines in black
It consumes me, I'll take it back
Give it back, to what it was
I can't believe Everyone you told this to
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you
Take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back
How do you feel it if
you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
don't have a heart attack!
But I won't stop you
Everyone you promised to
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you
Cut me out, of your life
Like its nothing (Like I'm nothing)
Wait for this
You can't love, Don't explain it
Part of me is gone,
you've taken
You've taken
You've taken
You've taken
Part of me is gone,
you've take
You've taken
A piece thats from me
Take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back
How do you feel it if
you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
don't have a heart attack
But I won't stop you
You won't stop, you'll never change
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
{Chorus}
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
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'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
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
Looking down on me through eyes that never stop crying
Looking down on me, will you ever look away?
Three Hours Back
LET'S GO!!
Indifference grows, indifference feeds on me
a sickness fills the pathways were i breathe
miles away from where i want to be, want to be
one day you will see!!
nothing is this simple, this simple
one day you will see!!
it takes its toll on me, toll on me
HEY! lie awake and wait out all those
DAYS! till 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, will you stay, will you walk away?
FALL ASLEEP TO FLASHING SCREENS AND PAPER CUTS
WAKING UP WITH VACANT EYES AND BROKEN HEARTS AGAIN!!
ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE!
(ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE!)
nothing is this simple, this simple
ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE!
(ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE!)
it takes its toll on me, toll on me
HEY! lie awake and wait out all those
DAYS! till i finally come home
changed and jaded, everything that i hate
I'll be there...
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 trouble makes me sick
and the longer i lay here, i know it's harder to get up
without you
[chorus]
lose another day here
lose another year here
i'm with you
find me something out there, that's making sense
and it's just another trend carefully hidden in your dress
and the cycles neverending, and the fashions overdone
and the further that i run away, the further i'll come back
to shelter...
[chorus]
you are the fire, on my apartment floor
sixteen stories, i'd rather burn then fall
it isn't fate, that took us all by storm
it's just the turn of a card
[chorus]
you are the fire, on my apartment floor
sixteen stories, i'd rather burn then fall
it isn't fate, that took us all by storm
it's just the turn of a card
goodbye old friend
goodbye goodnight
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 honor
and no regrets
i won't be mad, won't feel bad
these memories will never leave me
don't be sad
cause life goes on, life goes on
it's getting too late
tomorrow is here
Rodeo Clown
Return it to you, that I kept it for a year.
All these times I figured you'd be here. (HEY!)
The last time I saw you, I tried to move right through the crowd.
And I was calling your name, but the band played too loud.
The last time I saw you, I tried to move right through the crowd.
WAS CALLING YOUR NAME BUT THE BAND PLAYED LOUD!
Note that I kept it for a year.
All these times I figured you'd be here (GO!)
The last time I saw you, I tried to move right through the crowd.
And I was calling your name, but the band played too loud.
THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU, I TRIED TO MOVE RIGHT THROUGH THE CROWD!
WAS CALLING YOUR NAME BUT THE BAND PLAYED LOUD!
Rodeo clown.
Rodeo clown.
Did you know?
Rodeo clown.
RODEO CLOWN!
