Masterpiece
My friend,
You're always the last one to leave those dimly lit rooms
Making sure the last glass makes it's way to the table empty
And every bottle in the place has been upside down
At least a few times
What a waste
Is this what's left of you these days?
You're not 18 anymore
5 years should have been enough time
For you to grow up and get over this
It's not too cool
To be throwing up all morning
Sick from what you might have done or done it with
I swear,
If I could take your pain and frame it and hang it on my wall
Maybe you wouldnever have to hurt at all
I'm painting pictures in red and blue
A portrait bruised just like you
And now you're walking away
You're not 18 anymore
5 years should have been enough time
For you to grow up and get over this
It's not too cool
To be throwing up all morning
Sick from what you might have done
When is enough finally enough?
All the hang-ups and heartbreaks get you past all failures and bad breaks
Just accept yourself
Find something that brings you closer to complete
Painting pictures in red and blue
A portrait bruised just like you
And now you're walking away
You're not 18 anymore
5 years should have been enough time
For you to grow up and get over this
It's not too cool
To be throwing up all morning
Sick from what you might have done or done it with
When is enough finally enough?
When is enough finally enough?
Poison In My Veins
The night sky's black and I'm awake
Lying on the ground
The grass beneath my feet,
Is hard and cold just like I've come to be
The stars are gone behind the clouds,
And I can't see a thing
So ill just let my eyes stay closed just like me, I can't open up
Cause I'm alone
And I don't see a chance to fix this head
So just give up
Write me off, pretend I don't exist
There's something in an empty bed,
That makes it hard to close your eyes
It can eat at you till they both turn black and blue,
And all you want is the reason you should live
Or a way for you to die
Cause I'm alone
And I don't see a chance to fix this head
So just give up
Write me off, pretend I don't exist
The grounds opening up
I'm falling down below
And then this fall into a place,
That I don't think a child should know
And I'm screaming out a name,
That could never pass my lips
The poison in my veins
That got me through her kiss
Cause I'm alone
And I don't see a chance to fix this head
So just give up.
Write me off, pretend I don't exist
The grounds opening up,
I'm falling down below
And then this fall into a place,
That I don't think a child should know
And I'm screaming out a name,
That could never pass my lips
The poison in my veins
That got me through her kiss
And now I'm too hung up on that to have anything with you
The poison in my veins
That got me through
Phone Call From Poland
Well, Today is the 15th.
And you know what that means,
Time to sit and go through boxes of old pictures.
See if I can bring myself to,
The brink of giving up,
I never follow through, you tell me all the time.
Spend my days looking back,
And I wonder if you're looking up,
From underneath someone who is able to be,
Everything that I'm not.
I'm visiting that grave,
And the epitaph has already been chiseled in my mind.
I'm bringing it all down right now,
The way I should have let you go,
And let you ruin one life,
Instead of two.
I spend tonight by myself,
For the first time,
I try to look ahead,
And try to find something that,
Isn't doomed like we were,
Now all I need,
Is a second chance.
Spend my days looking back,
And I wonder if you're looking up,
From underneath someone who is able to be,
Everything that I'm not.
Talking Of Michelangelo
The sidewalk's cracked and dirty face
Is looking up from underneath my feet
It's staring at the hallow broken boy
Who's lost and wandering these city streets
Every night I wander here alone
A night that we won't meet
I wonder when I'll finally understand
Why time can wash away love like it was made of sand
And it's wonderful
The pain that comes with regret
Sometimes you have to see the beauty in all of this loneliness
The streetlights flicker and then they fade
Like every good intention that I've had
And every face that passes through my mind
I'll be struggling with these same old dreams
Until the concrete turns to sand
And I'm swept up by the waves
I wonder when I'll finally understand
Why time can wash away love like it was made of sand
And it's wonderful
The pain that comes with regret
Sometimes you have to see the beauty in all of this loneliness
There's only so many chances that you get
To do something that's this important
Now I'd rather sink than swim
Sewer grates keep spitting up their steam
Exhaling all the broken dreams I've flushed away
I wonder when I'll bow out
Wash me away like I was made of sand
And it's wonderful
It's wonderful
Alcohol And Altar Boys
There's a voice in my head telling me why I should hate you,
But I hate myself instead.
There's a pair of dead eyes in the mirror looking back at me.
I guess its wrong to live life so lifelessly.
Scars are tearing open along my palms and knees.
I guess thats what I should get for crawling back at your feet.
And now I'm feeling so down, that there's no God above.
No mercy for a soul thats just way too fucked up.
There's a pain in my chest growing stronger with every heartbeat.
Now there's nothing left of me,
but empty bottles of pills and Bacardi.
Yes, I guess its wrong to live right.
Scars are tearing open along my palms and knees.
I guess thats what I should get for crawling back at your feet.
And now I'm feeling so down, that there's no God above.
No mercy for a soul thats just way too fucked up.
Leave me here to die
A Synonym For Acquiesce
Empty fields move me so much more
Than rooms filled up with friends
The way the trees look dead reminds me
That there's more to life than living
Maybe giving up's not bad
But part of letting go of you
If I surrender to this feeling
Maybe all the aches and pains will go
And I can close my eyes
Never again to have them open
Until I bleed out all I've been
But I don't want to be alone no more
Take this razor, sign your name accross my wrist
So everyone will know who left me like this
Empty fields move me so much more
Than rooms filled up with friends
The way the trees look dead reminds me
That there's more to life than living
Maybe giving up's not bad
But part of letting go of you
Take this razor, sign your name accross my wrist
So everyone will know who left me like this
Sew me up, my scars run deep
A reminder not to forget the times that we've had
I'll never waste another second
I have wasted so much time
Take this razor, sign your name accross my wrist
So everyone will know who left me like this
Sew me up, my scars run deep
A reminder not to forget the times that we've had
How To Fix Everything
the sharper the edge,the cleaner the wound
so i'll be keeping it dull tonight,for i deserve to hurt
disfigure the outside to show how ruined i am
there's no pain and no pleasure when you're too numb to feel
there's a pedistal across the room,
and if i try to climb again
this time the fall is fatal
i dont deserve such an easy exit
so maybe my, spine will snap on impact
and i'l have to crawl away
i'm ready to take that big step
start tearing off the layers i put up
or is it too late to feel anything but what i am?
i dare to find a problem
now it seems, we can fix anything
Just close the door and let me do what I need,
'cause it's better for us if you just let me leave.
I'm ready to take that big step,
start tearing off the layers I put up;
or is it too late to feel anything but what I am?
I dare you to find a problem,
now it seems we can fix anything.
How to fix everything...
Kellum
dont lift me up.
with your strong intent on dropping me back down.
are you like this?
afraid to be yourself?
and if you somehow get through all of this
without hating yourself for all of it
and you know that i will hate you enough for the both of us.
spent that night alone,
the first in a long time.
forgotten all the loneliness and darkness in my life.
but you lost a friend
the day that you let go
to drown in a sea of regret and no one knows
that im alone and i cant blame anyone but you
except loving ones for me and now i know the truth.
spent that night alone,
the first in a long time.
forgotten all the loneliness and darkness in my life.
but you lost a friend
the day that you let go
to drown in a sea of regret and no one knows.
spent that night alone,
the first in a long time.
forgotten all the loneliness and darkness in my life.
but you lost a friend
the day that you let go
to drown in a sea of regret and no one knows.
If You're Bored
Don't mean to scare you but I
I've not been sleeping lately
and phone calls aren't doing much to help.
So if it's all the same
i'd just as soon never have to
offer explanation or excuse again.
We make believe everyday
we make our lives seem like there still worth living
we find out in the end it's only us that we've been kidding.
So find the darkest place and
search under blankets for me.
Smothering myself in this darkness.
I'm lying down tonight and
you're not lying with me.
Honesty doesn't sit so well on you some thing you just can't fake.
We make believe everyday
we make our lives seem like there still worth living
we find out in the end it's only us that we've been kidding.
It's just another stupid drama
that no one notices but you
and you only take an interest
when theres nothing else to do.
But you won't mind
Wait for all of it I can't go and wait for all of this.
But you won't mind
Wait for all of it I can't go and wait for all of this.
We make believe everyday
we make our lives seem like there still worth living
we find out in the end it's only us that we've been kidding.
Just another stupid drama
that no one notices but you
and you only take an interest
when theres nothing else to do.
Just Enough To Love You
Push me out from the darkness
To a sky that's colored blue
Somewhere someone's finding happiness
While I'm still here so hung up on you
Nothing is real
And I want you to know
That I'm not alright
When you tear open my chest
I'll try not to flinch
Won't make promises
You taught me that.
I'm still losing what's left of my self esteem
And I'm still watching the slow fading of all my daydreams
The hardest things to say are the words that mean the most
So I'll bite my tongue til it bleeds and I doubt you'll even know
The easiest things to fake are feelings to fool someone else
And I've been tricked for so long by you that I spent these last few months in my own hell
A failed apology
A day too late but now I see
That all you really want's to see me dangle neck first from a tree
But what would you need me for
You've got friends galore
And all you've ever been to me is a waste of time, and nothing more
I could call
But I know that you won't be there to pick up the phone
You don't have time for me
I could call but I know you won't get the phone
Don't have time for me
I hate myself
For loving you like this
I hate myself for hating myself
Just enough to love you
Just enough to love you
Guardrail
you wanted to know just what makes me tick
I guess I could say that you and your bullshit
are pushing me towards an explosion.
I guess you're what drives me
(chorus)
I wish I could ride you
drive you too fast into a sharp curve
break your neck like you broke my will
The guardrail will take you home
I guess you get caught up in the day to day drama of being you
to notice me and what's become of my eyes
The vessels are an angry red
just like the blood from my lips as I chew on them
(Chorus)
I keep your picture as a reminder of what I wish I wasn't
It's like a fun house mirror version of myself
through those fucked up eyes of yours
I wish I could ride you drive you
too fast into a sharp curve break your neck like you broke my will
The guardrail, the guardrail, the guardrail will take you home
