And The Hero Will Drown
The night will come and rip away
Her wings of innocence through every word we say
Maybe it's time to spit out the core
Of our rotting union hopefully before it chokes us to our senses
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
Swim in the smoke
The hero will drown
Intoxicating beauty tears everything down
But still our hands are bound at the wrists
This romantic tragedy is suffocating from your fist in a sea of fire
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
Hero hero
this word you'll never know
Hero hero
this word you'll never know
you'll never know
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
away away away they're taking it away
away away they're taking it away
Until The Day I Die
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you
As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you died right now
You know that I'd die to
I'd die too
You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was (I was)
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does
We'll make the same mistakes
I'll take the fall for you
I hope you need this now
Cause I know I still do
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Should I bite my tongue?
Until blood soaks my shirt
We'll never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
But still we'll say, "remember when"
Just like we always do
Just like we always do
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Yeah I'd spill my heart!!!
Yeah I'd spill my heart for you!!!
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Mistakes like friends do
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Made the same mistakes
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
Until the day I die!!!
[Lyrics to early version are a bit different:]
As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you died right now
You know that I'd die to
I'd die too
You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was (I was)
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Should I bite my tongue?
Until blood soaks my shirt
We'll never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
But still we'll say, "remember when"
Just like we always do
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Yeah I'd spill my heart!!!
Yeah I'd spill my heart for you!!!
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Mistakes like friends do
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Do you need this as bad as I do? (Until the day I die)
And do you need this as bad as I do? (Until the day I die)
Yeah do you need this as bad as I do? (Until the day I die)
Yeah do you need this as bad as I do, as I do? (Until the day I die)
Anthem Of Our Dying Day
The stars will cry the blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
Here I am pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
Thats exactly,
Exactly what I need...
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day...
For a second I wish the tide will swallow every inch of the city
As you gasp for air tonight
I'd scream this song right in your face if you were here
Cause then I wont miss a beat cause I never,
Never have before...
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day...
Of our dying day
Of our dying day
OF OUR DYING...
For a second I wish the tide would swallow every inch of this city
As your gasped for air tonight...
In The Shadows
We both take the hardest punches
and collect black eyes just to prove it
Still we pass by just like strangers
and we speak just like the closest enemies (enemies)
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can fall into the night unscarred
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can never let it go this far
So how my words rendered useless
still I'll pull my lip down to my chest
Just to show you how my jaw is
tired from waiting to say the things that you should hear
You should hear.
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can fall into the night unscarred
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can never let it go this far
After all
we're still the same
These empty promises
seem to never change
Theres a smile on my face and its 2:55am
This cramp in my wrist puts me back to sleep 'till it all comes around again...
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can fall into the night unscarred
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can never let it go this far
Dive Right In
So here I go
I'll dive right in
Break through the waves
Straight to the ocean floor
And although my hands are shaking,
I lie perfectly still
Cause I'm determined
To let myself sink down
And I know, I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again
I could wave my arms and swim away,
but never reach the shore
But for now I will lay
face first in the sand
with the wreckage from ships that lost their way
And I know, I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again
And I know, I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again
And although my hands are shaking,
I lie perfectly still
Cause I'm determined
To let myself sink down
And I know, I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again
And I know that I'm buried now I'm buried
to far down to ever feel to ever feel the sun
again the sun again the warmth from the sun again
Swallow The Knife
So our open wounds will bleed
Until our veins run dry
Now we have to take this thorn
and tear it from our side
Agitated at the fault line
Still agreed to disagree
You're connected to the heart
But tonight we'll set you free
SO swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night to start over again
Even now as I write this down
All pretensions disappear
Now our impulses will bite at the ankles of our fear
Words are spoken
Words are Broken down
So lets make this night be our best mistake
So lets take the time to wipe the blood away
Now our hands are tied and our world is caving
Burning Years
Its not what you will say
its what you have done
To let this come between us
You're right, without a fight
It might be worth it to you
and in the process, gotten to me
I think that nothing can fly with this broken wing
There's so much to hold on to now
Nothing can fly with this broken wing
So, heres a gift, in this feather
You've gone too far
I'm not standing alone
Lets sort this out together
You're right, without a fight
this might be worth it to you
but i can't take this anymore
From this house of our friendship
shut the door and light the match
throw behind you
Walk away
You burn it town
These ashes burn
Page Avenue
"I still recall / every summer night / like it was yesterday.
The time could never end / and my friends were family.
Nothing mattered more / then the loyalty we had.
Now I'm a world away from everything we shared.
I had something better waiting ahead.
I try to take control of my heart.
I had something better,
But i'll tear it down and I'll tape it up by my own design.
I fall.
Bring back the days.
Three story parking lot.
The air is never dry.
As the city falls asleep / days bleed into the night.
The table set the stage / for a life of memories,
But I'm a world away from everything.
I fall apart as time passes by.
I fall apart but the memories never die.
I still recall every summer night.
It seems like yesterday,
But I'm still a world away."
Sidewalks
the bridge is all crumbled
the water soaks into rocks
that fell at the bottom of the road
(at the end of town)
The town we lived in
The memories shaken apart
from the weeds that grow
over the
sidewalks
running away from the streets we knew
sidewalks
like the time we thought was made for you
out on the front porch
watching the cars as they go by
(eighteen blue, twenty-one gray)
looking ahead
for the first time that we could drive
out on our own
to speed away
from the....
[Chorus]
all of the days have passed us by.
all of the sun is gone away.
Divide And Conquer
"Does the shadow live forever?
Will this graveyard be the dance floor for these corpses?
Will they be the first to fall and dance the night away?
(dance the night away)
Why do we do this to ourselves?
We're buying every word they sell.
(they sell)
Starving loved ones carry our guns.
Take a look at what we've become.
Hungry nations standing in the ashes of our enemies' remains.
(enemies' remains)
So we dance the night away"
Razorblades
Yeah, Yeah
Walking example of you
Wait for the silence
Talking backwards to you
It meant nothing to me
Watching the world fall on you
I'm keeping my eyes closed
Now I can see what this means to you
It meant nothing to me
[Chorus]
This wasted so many nights and again
I've wasted so much time on a friend
Too young, too proud to understand
So this is the end
Perfect timing for you
You'll run 'til your legs break
So here's my reminder of you
It meant nothing to me
[Chorus]
This wasted so many nights and again
I've wasted so much time on a friend
Too young, too proud to understand
So this is the end...GO!
We should've seen this coming
We should've seen this...
Yeah! Yeah!
[Chorus x2]
This wasted so many nights and again
I've wasted so much time on a friend
Too young, too proud to understand
So this is the end
Yeah! This is the end!
Falling Down
"Now I can taste the war that I've been fighting.
Start to fall but I'm still standing here behind the wall of dying faith.
I can't forget the fight that's growing stronger.
Face to face with hopes of longer days to build on something we should save.
I stand alone.
I'm on my own.
My hands will bleed. (my hands will bleed)
I'm holding on to what is gone.
What's left of me?
I'm fallingdown.
But i should find my strength in this:
a light that burns to reconnect my heart for what it's meant to give.
Walk. Fall. Stand again so I can..."
