The After Dinner Payback

I'm not wishing anymore.
I'm not writing songs for you.
I sleep better in the dark.
I'm not doing this for you.
This is because of you I don't believe.
Tongue-tied an institute of my relief.
You're my, my reason to shame.
(My reason to shame)

I'm not wishing anymore.
I'm not writing songs for you.
I sleep better in the dark.
I'm not doing this for you.
This is because of you I don't believe.

Tongue-tied and institute of my relief.
One wish that this is over.
You are all I waste today.
Discarded worthless throw it away.
Will it tear you apart?
Will it? Will it tear you apart?
When I turn and walk away.

Abandon, its not worth the effort
When stalling means
Too fucking scared to create,
Abandon, its not worth the effort
When stalling and too scared.
One wish that this is over.
You are all I waste today.
Discarded worthless throw it away
Will I tear you apart?
Will it? Will it tear you apart?
When I turn and walk away.

I'm not holding onto this.
I'm not wasting words on you.
I sleep alone in spite of it.
I'll do anything for you.
This is because of you I feel relief.
Tongue-tied to instigate what I believe.
You're my, my reason to blame.
My reason to shame.

I'm not holding onto this.
I'm not wasting words on you.
I sleep alone in spite of it.
I'll do anything for you.
This is because of you I feel relief.
Tongue-tied to instigate what I believe.
You're my, my reason to blame.
(My reason to blame)




Lilacs & Lolita

So I'm sorry,
as two hands open doors.
Something serene to steal my life away.
Climbing on the way up,
Sizing up the competition,
Waiting for the right time,
To strike a chord and change your life.
Don't you ever think
For one second that
I will forget the reasons
That I cried.
You are no more potent
Than words that choke me.
I sit and ask you
Two words.
But this is not a product,
And we're not in a competition.
Waiting for the right time
To strike a chord
And change your life.
Regret's how I spell your name.
In light of what you have done.
How can you not feel the same?
My love will fade with the sun.
As days go by, shed a tear.
I hate your face
More than life.
I'll fake a smile for (you) my dear.
So turn away. Climbing on the way up,
Sizing the competition,
Waiting for the right time,
To strike a chrod
And change your life.




No Trivia

M, 4, V, T, C and H
Might need to provide this number at the gate
Steady pilot because I'm half afraid
I can't believe you'd ask me that
Of Course I dont believe in fate
Would you be depressed?
If I attend that wedding, but only as a guest
Such an unfaithful bride draped in dress
Spun with threads of my regret
Sing it loud to drown out the feeling
When you're feeling much more odd (even)
And half as true as dishonored seamen
We'll breathe Pacific and fight our demons
Would you be depressed?
If I attend that wedding, but only as a guest
Such an unfaithful bride draped in dress
Spun with threads of my regret
So arch your back
And flip your hair
Make eye contact so you know I care
You know I care
But only as a guest
Such an unfaithful bride draped in dress
Spun with threads of my regret




Milligram Smile

All my hopes
And all of my dreams
Everything falling in between
Seems to me that memories
(They) Mean more to you then they do to me.
Through the sky
And into your eyes.
And I see everything
Falling in between.
Sew the lips right into your smile.
I'm okay with faking this.
I'll fake everything just to slip your kiss.

If I'm a writer, and I'm a poet,
I might love you, But never show it.
You should forget me, this is a long tour,
And I'll be back, but not in time for...

If all we speak is rational thought
Everyday I pray for the sadness.
(My) Eyes are black, my throat is full of sickness.
Then I'll be listening but not for long
Everyday I pray for the sadness.
(My) Eyes are black, my throat is full of sickness.

The words I write are cheap and trite,
But they're drawn on the back of your door.
Surrounded by, numbers that,
Remind me of the ones before.

All my hopes,
And all of my dreams.
Everything falling inbetween.
Seems to me that the memories
(They) Mean more to you then they do to me.
Through the sky and into your eyes.
And I see everything falling in between.
Sew the lips right into your smile.
I'm ok with faking this.
I'll fake everything just to
Slip your kiss.

The words I write, are cheap and trite,
But they're drawn on the back of your door,
Surrounded by, numbers that,
Remind me of the ones before.
My lips are cold.
The truth is told.




The Second Wrong Makes You Feel Right

Begin, present, fade out,
Judgment please don't fail me now,
This time, this time
A lesson learned is a picture burned,
You're a memory to me,
Upon ignition come bear witness to the greatest therapy,
Just begin, present, fade out,
Judgment please don't fail me now,
This time
That was the day I put your picture aside.
Swallowed the fact that our dream had died.
Every time you close your mind,
You should be seeing me.
Every time you close your eyes (at night)
Every time you close your eyes
You should be seeing me.
As you lay in bed at night, I'll be there in your dreams.
So sorrows in, in that what you heard?
That you can cash in, on what we wrote,
Helpless isn't the right word but it's the first that comes to mind,
There's worse things than being unknown,
I think in time I'll get by
That was the day I put your picture aside.
Swallowed the fact that our dream had died.
Every time you close your mind,
You should be seeing me.
Begin, present, fade out,
Judgment please don't fail me now
You're to die for.
Life means more.
Out of sight.
With no light.




Every Reason To

I thought about the end today
The final chapter
The last scene
Ending what is here and what is now
And all there is to come

No hope for tomorrow, for today
Through all this talk, on how numb
There's one just out of reach on how numb
And you bet it shows, you bet it shows
Shake downs like these get old

So now I take my heart in hand
Bleach out the shades of detriment
Branded with names that I resent
Worship on your knees again
Wear it upon my sleeve the end
Ending what is here and what is now
And all there is to come

No Hope for tomorrow for today
Through all this talk, on how numb
There's one just out of reach on how numb
And you bet it shows, you bet it shows
Shake downs like these get old
And you bet it shows, you bet it shows

In your eyes I can see
Tomorrow out of reach
This is detachment
In your eyes I can see
Tomorrow beyond me




Autumns Monologue

Oh why can't I be what you need?
a new improved version of me
But I'm nothing so good, no I'm nothing
Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
Of violence of love and of sorrow
I beg for just one more tomorrow
Where you hold me down, fold me in
Deep, deep, deep in the heart of your sins

I break in two over you, oh,
I break in two, and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life
But you don't see me, you don't

Here I'm thin between darkness and light
Bleached and blinded by these nights
Where I'm tossing and tortured till dawn
I view visions of you, then you're gone
The shock bleeds the red from my face
When I hear someone has taken my place
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?
When all, all that I did was for you

I break in two over you, oh,
I break in two, and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life
But you don't see me, you don't (x2)

I break in two over you, oh,
I break in two

Over you, I break in two
I will break in two, for you
Now you see me, now you don't
Now you need me, now you don't




Alive Out Of Habit

In you I see further
Can it last forever?
Identify your patients,
XY configurations
Words are lost in your eyes
One thought inside my heart
Drop addicts in the mixture,
Falcons have blown the fixture

Think of me as days pass us by.
Shards of glass
Skin of gold
Steal my breath
Blood runs cold
Violet waves
Oceans blue
All my love
Lost in you

In you I see further
Can it last forever?
Sinkhole that we would frequent,
White heels safe from extinction
Words are lost in your eyes.
One thought inside my heart.
I said that I don't need you,
But I'm a liar, I swear I do, I do

Strip away
Vanity
I do
Just as you
Consume me
I do
Broken smile
Starless sky
I do
Save it all
Say goodbye

You're out in left field, and lacking interest
You fight the boredom, but it makes no difference
Your mental health, kid, that's what's in question
Keep acting obscure, we'll keep them guessing

The moment ideas are conceived,
They'll be out of touch, obsolete,
They're faking champions hand picked,
And all the fights have been fixed,
You wake to suffer through the day,
Trade a dream for the pay,
Well here's the fact I hope it sticks,
You're just alive out of habit,
Alive out of habit
Alive out of habit

Shards of glass
Skin of gold
Steal my breath
Blood runs cold
Violet waves
Oceans blue
All my love
Lost in you
Strip away
Part of me
Just as you consume me
Broken smile
Starless sky
End it all
Say good-bye.
Think of me as I say good-bye.

Strip away
Part of me
Just as you consume me
Broken smile
Starless sky
End it all
Say good-bye.




All I Taste Today Is Whats Her Name

The tears suspend.
Smiles are not more than (empty love)
Locked doors can keep you alone
Forever paint words (from your lips) in a house that's no longer your home
Take the deams i know (as my own) and it worsens weekends
Thanks again for my mistery.
And you run with fake frineds
Im sick of your sad songs and sing alongs.
I kindof like it when things are wrong.
Straight from left end,
They'll shout corrections,
And I'll decline, and I'll decline
Asource of comfort or some protection
And I'll decline Smiles are not more than (empty love)locked doors can keep you alone
Forever pain words (from your lips) in a house that's no longer your home
Take the dreams i know (as my own) and it worsends weekends
Thanks again for my misery.
And you run with fake friends
Straight from left end, they'll shout corrections,
And I'll decline, and I'll decline
A source of comfort or some protection
And I'll decline
In your throat
You will see surface relocated
Therapy.
All i taste of today is the shame (of) ,y whore prey
All i kinow are apologies
Do you feel the shame.




The Fiction We Live

You might be just what I need,
No I would not change a thing.
Been dreaming of this, so long.
But we only exist in this song.

The thing is I'm not worth the sorrow
And if you come and meet me tomorrow.
I will hold you down, fold you in,
Deep, deep, deep in the fiction we live.

I break in two over you,
I break in two and if a piece of you dies.
Autumn, I will bring you back to life,
Of course I see you, I do.




I'm The Best At Ruining My Life

I've boarded up the windows
To keep the morning from intrusion
I've left it on the doorknob
Could you please just not disturb
On days like this we find it so hard to push ourselves up and out of bed
When nothing falls in favor of

I have so many things
I would like to explain to you
But I don't know just how to
Communicate

I can't take this body shaking
Dress and we'll begin
Nights can be so violent
When beds become vacant

I've blown it once again
This would have been the last offense and
You should have been here months ago
With open arms and honest face
Addres full doubt you've ever felt frustration, well I'm choking on it now
And it's the hardest thing for me to shake

I have so many things
I would like to explain to you
But I don't know just how to
Communicate

I can't take this body shaking
Dress and we'll begin
Nights can be so violent
When beds become vacant

Is it because of this
Vacancy that you swear
never to, to believe?

Honestly honest me
With a look that's so deceiving
I'll bite, chew, swallow, and
Digest the hands that feed me
With a bayonet for a tongue
Swallow swords inadvertently
And to the organ flame I'll maintain a close adjacency

I have so many things
I would like to explain to you
Farewell to all the days you were
Within my reach

And as of right now everything is making perfect sense
As of right now everything is making perfect sense

I can't take this body shaking
Dress and we'll begin
Nights can be so violent
When beds become vacant
