As You Sleep
Close your eyes, and I will be swimming
Lullabies fill your room, and I will be singing
Singing to only you
Don't forget I'll hold your hand
Watch the night sky fading red
But as you sleep, and no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me
In the car, the radio leaves me searching for your star
A constellation of frustration driving hard
Singing my thoughts back to me, and watching heartache on TV
But as you sleep, and no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me
Don't forget I'll hold your hand, watch the night sky fading red
But as you sleep, and no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me
Space
Home, is this a quiet place where you should be alone?
Is this where the tortured and the troubled find their own?
I don't know, but I can tell this isn't you, your cover's blown
But oh no, don't you dare hang up this phone
Hey! Give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space so you can drown in this with me
In this place
The lonely escapade in outer space
There's no anecdote for irony
You say that you have, when you know
That you don't, and you say that you can
When you know that you won't
Hey! Give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space so you can drown in this with me
Hey! Give me space but I can't breathe
Give me space but I can't sleep
Give me just one inch I swear that's all I need, oh
These battered walls and TV screens
Sometimes they make me want to scream
Ahhh!
Hey! Give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space so you can drown in this with me
Hey! Give me space but I can't breathe
Give me space but I can't sleep
Give me just one inch I swear that's all I need
Down
Let's get drunk, you can drive us to the harbor
Wish upon a star, but do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the Face of God
Let's get crazy, talk about our big plans
Places that you're going, places that I haven't been
Build my walls up, concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassles
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
But I hear sound echo in the emptiness all around
What you can't change is loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone
Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heart, it breaks within your chest now
Try to get some rest now
Sleep's not coming easy for a while, child
Child, yeah
But I hear sound echo in the emptiness all around
What you can't change is loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Down, down, down, down
But I hear sound echo in the emptiness all around
What you can't change is loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Only Ashes
Piece by piece, and bit by bit
I'll break this down for you, real slow
But I can't whisper all of this
And I can't seem to let this go
So I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes
I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes
I can tell its your turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah we're only ashes
Part by part and inch by inch
You'll have your mile when its through
Incinerate what's left of this
And torch the part of me that's you
So I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes
I can tell it's your turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah we're only ashes
I can tell it's your turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah we're only ashes
Me And The Moon
It's a good year for a murder
She's praying to Jesus
She's pulling the trigger
There's no tears
Cause he's not here
She washes her hands
And she fixes the dinner
But soon they'll be coming to rush her away
No one's so sure if her crime had a reason
But reasons like seasons they constantly change
And the seasons of lies still like reasons are flowing, away
Away with this spilled milk?
Away with this dirty dishwater?
Away
Seventeen years and all that he gave was a daughter
It's me and the moon she says
I got no trouble with that
And I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die
It's me and the moon she says
And it's over, it just started
The blood stained the carpet
Her heart like a crystal
She's lucid and departed
A life left behind she can find in her mind, gone away
Away with these nightmares
Away with suburbia shakedown
Away
You marry a role and you give up your soul till you break down
It's me and the moon she says
I got no trouble with that
And I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die
It's me and the moon she says
But what do you say we go for a ride
What do you say we get high
But I'm so tired of days that feel like the night
It's me and the moon she says
I got no trouble with that
And I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die
And I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die
And I am a butterfly
And I am a butterfly
And I am a butterfly
The Runaway
If you ran to the end of the earth
I would catch you and you would be safe
If you fell down a well
I would bring you a rope
And take all of your pain
All the pain all the pain
That you hide from me every day
If you're missing I would run away
I would build a path to you
If you're missing I would run away
Because I find myself in you
If I woke up alone
I won't stop 'til I find you and you are with me
'Cause by now, I know you better than you know yourself
And I know what you really need
What you need, or I need
But either way this is where you should be, here with me
Or I'll bleed so much that you won't believe
If you're missing I would run away
I would build a path to you
If you're missing I would run away
Because I find myself in you
You better not, you better not run
You better not, you better not run
If you're missing I would runaway
I would build a path to you
If you're missing I will run away
I will find you, I will find you, I will find you
Ruthless
This is the only lonely picture
Waiting on my floor
Littering my shore
This is the last true burning letter
Given to a girl
Written by a boy
Living in a world created to destroy
But if I built you a city, would you let me
Would you tear it down?
But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
That I could still be ruthless if you'll let me
But there you go and I'm not done
You're waving goodbye, but at least you're having fun
The rising tide will not let you forget me
Forget me
This is the ghost that kneels before me
Raises on her tongue, a body full of oxygen
It won't be the last time she'll ignore me
The thinning of my skin, without the strength to go
The winter's setting in, to cover you in snow
But if I built you a city, would you let me
Would you tear it down?
But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
That I could still be ruthless if you'll let me
But there you go and I'm not done
You're waving goodbye, but at least you're having fun
The rising tide will not let you forget me
Forget me
Forget me
Forget me
Forget me, yeah
I'll raise towers and climb them
Rivers and walk them
Oceans to drown in
You won't make a sound in
But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
That I could still be ruthless if you'll let me
But there you go and I'm not done
You're waving goodbye, but at least you're having fun
The rising tide will not let you forget me
Forget me
She Paints Me Blue
Tonight I watched the lights go out in your house
Wondering how I could get so deep
And you could still get sleep
In vain I blame my trembling on the cold air
But I can't hide that I've relied on you
Like yellow does on blue
And you're my
Good feeling
I'm kneeling
Inside a room she paints me blue
And you are
My reason
For breathing
Inside a room she paints me blue, again
Atlanta started raining on me
And teenage love was underground
Tonight I'll break the surface
Atlanta started raining on me
And no young girl was claiming me
Or naming me and destiny gets nervous
And you're my
Good feeling
I'm kneeling
Inside a room she paints me blue
And you are
My reason
For breathing
Inside a room she paints me blue, again
And you're my
Good feeling
I'm kneeling
Inside a room she paints me blue
And you are
My reason
For breathing
Inside a room she paints me blue, again
Atlanta started raining on me
On me
Atlanta started raining on me
On me
Break Myself
I'm on fire
And the day is feeling hopeless
You'd see me burning but the burning's turning smokeless
Soon I won't feel at all
No
It's electric the neon heard inside your phone call
The letter's sadness and her madness it revolves
Bringing down the walls where you found her
No
Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
And now I'm static
As your sky is turning purple and gray
I'm learning that the further that I crawl
The farther that I fall, is that ok?
No
And you're in pieces
As your world becomes a rainstorm
You've got no shelter I'm a thousand miles away
You'll survive the day
You say you're leaving
You say you're leaving
Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
So you don't hurt so much
Never again will I fire this gun
No never again you're the only one
No never again but you're already gone
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
So much
So much
So much
So much
I Won't Make You
I'm under attack again my dear, I'm in the way
Got no resolutions, no clever anecdotes to say
And still if I yell at the top of my lungs will it be the same?
I'd fly you a flag, I'd bury this pen into my veins
I wanna feel through you tonight
But I won't make you
I won't make you
The telephone number I got for you says nobody's home
The best thing I can think to do right now is leave it alone
And you had an apology in your mailbox since last July
It's funny when you find the words to say you find no reply
I wanna feel through you tonight
But I won't make you
I won't make you
Scream my name just one more time
But I won't make you
I won't make you
And it's been hours now
To be here like this
And just to lay you down
And just to taste your lips
And just to keep me up
God I'm tired of sleeping
And just to lay inside you
And just to know this feeling
I wanna feel through you tonight
But I won't make you
I won't make you
Scream my name just one more time
But I won't make you
I won't make you
21 And Invincible
Some days go by,
I wish I was famous
Or maybe religious, so I could go to heaven
Just like you
I can have a big house, complain about taxes
Payoff my ex's, ain't that living
No one makes fun of me, cause I can't stand up for myself
Woah, 21 and invincible
Woah, can't wait to screw this up
And woah, 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I guess today's gonna blow us away
I've got a girlfriend
She tells me she needs me
And she loves me
We'll probably get married
Oh no, and everyone will bite their tongues so hard they'll bleed
When mom hears this song
She'll tell me I'm crazy
And she'll say to me
Son you're much too young, go have some fun don't waste Your youth like I did
And woah, 21 and invincible
Woah, can't wait to screw this up
And woah, 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I guess today's gonna blow us away
And it's been autumn since the day that I met you
If I hit bottom, I'd crawl out alone
And I don't wish you know the secrets of summer at all
And woah, 21 and invincible
Woah, can't wait to fuck this up
And woah, 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I guess today's gonna blow us away
Miss America
Another lonely night in Amersterdam
And stars are coming out in waves
I miss my Miss America in Park Hotel
But I'm too stoned to call it a day
And when everything you wanted
Is to hide behind your eyes
And I'm locked in my hotel room
Turning over our goodbyes
I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
Till I can't feel it
Another lonely night in Amsterdam
And water's moving through the sound
The blood is boiling in my veins
And the food I can't keep down
And I don't care if you don't love me
And I don't care if you don't change
I could live inside the shadow that I cast for you
And the myth that you would stay
And I'll be home before the morning comes
You won't have to be alone
I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
Till I can't feel it
You don't have to see me this way
Cause this way I'm okay
I will write this down, I will write this down
Oh love, I'm tangled up, again
Oh love, when does this twisting end?
When does this twisting end?
I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
Till I can't feel it
You won't have to see me this way
Cause this way I'm okay
I will write this down for you
So you can read it
