LIE

Scars on your skin
Payment for sin
Paid in full on the end of a knife
Swallow it whole
Medicine for your soul
Golden hearts are cold as ice
The light from the hall
Is all that you saw
Growing up in a room in the dark
Under the door
The light that you swore
Was god, it gave you heart
Tell me why
We’re all here now
Suffering it seems
If your god
Is wholly unimpressed by me
I won’t be surprised
Is it a lie
Is it a lie
I don’t care I just need to know
It can’t be a lie
It can’t be a lie
Why would you hurt me if you don’t love me
Empty your head
Color it red
This room is far too white
Give me call
Say’n you’ve lost it all
You can no longer see the light
Who turned it off
The cigarette cough
The voice in the hall is silent
Who are you now
Tell me how
How the world is violent
Tell me why
We’re all here now
Suffering it seems
If your god
Is wholly unimpressed by me
I won’t be surprised
Is it a lie
Is it a lie
I don’t care I just need to know
It can’t be a lie
It can’t be a lie
Why would you hurt me if you don’t love me
Is it a lie
No can't be a lie
Is it a lie
Can't be a lie
Liar

Alone With No Excuses

Is it wrong to look for love
Cause it’s hard to find peace
You’ll never know it, like you did
When you would let her sleep
With her head upon your chest
And her legs around your knees
As you watch her softly slip into
The most enchanting sleep
As as time takes it’s toll
Turning you into a thief
Stealing seconds from tomorrow
That you know, you cannot keep
You know
This isn’t what you wanted
And they say
They didn’t want it this way
Are you angry with yourself
Is it something you can hide
Cause nobody wants to see it
No one wants to see you cry
So you drown yourself in liquor
Hoping someone will ask why
But they’re too caught up in themselves
To ever look you in the eye
They’re all looking out for God
Out in the parking lot getting high
Hoping someone will ask them
Why they’re wasting all their time
You know
This isn’t what you wanted
And they say
They didn’t want it this way
Writhe back and forth now
Dance like you’ll die
Not what we wanted
So why did you try

HUM
03:18
|

|
You’re never far away
Around the corner in a dream
So close I can almost hear it
The bell around your neck as it rings
In the back alley ways and corridors
Deep in the mainframe
Is there someone waiting there
Or are we just trapped in a maze
Are you a prisoner
Are you trapped in a hole
Are you in an empty room
With a chair and a tray to ash your smokes
Are you confused by me
And my dirty words
Can you see anything, at all
I’m dying to know, I’m dying to know
I don’t know what to say
If I did, I'm not sure what it’d mean
The empty and hideous daydream
Devoid of all living things
A whitewashed haze for purpose
Arresting the attention of time
Lapping your love off the pavement
Is just as much your crime as mine
Are you a prisoner
Are you trapped in a hole
Are you in an empty room
With a chair and a tray to ash your smokes
Are you confused by me
And my dirty words
Can you see anything, at all
I’m dying to know, I’m dying to know
Scream
If you can hear me
Scream
If you can feel me
Scream
The pressure building
Scream
Push your way out

Last night I dreamt
That i buried my friends
And realized how empty
My life would be without them
I believed in something
Before i fell asleep
A truth, galvanized
By the funeral scene
I hugged their parents
And witnessed their resolve
In the face of total loss
What is time without the people you love
Two years on
And i’m still getting high
Assault the vein with memories
And let reality slide
They were right
You’ll always chase the first time
No one’s immune to love
And bitter withdrawals
It’s hard to find comfort
In a future alone
In the face of the abyss
What is time without the people you love
Uncertainty
A plague that comes for us all
When will we live
When will we die
When will the stock market fall
Is there purpose
Are there answers
Was it God in the hall
Did she love me
Did I break her
Was it all my fault
I don’t have answers for any of this
I don't possess any hidden knowledge
But i can tell you what’s kept me alive
A source of strength for me time after time
A constant purpose in this temporal life
What is time without the people you love
You are nothing without the people you love

Hold me down, Hold me down
I don’t want to breath again
Hold my head, Hold my head
Try to convince myself, that it’s not my fault
Holy words, Holy words
Escaping from my mouth
I don’t feel anything
Until right now
Let go quickly
Let go slowly
I want less of your love
Give it up, Give it up
Pass away, peaceful face
Let it die, let it die
You don’t love it you just love the high
Final breath, final breath
Escaping from my mouth
I don’t feel anything
Until right now
Let go quickly
Let go slowly
I want less of your love
Let it Go
Let it Go
It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault

Shut your mouth
Nothing’s wrong
Once you’ve traded words
Now you’re involved
Shut your mouth
Close your eyes
Once you’ve traded words
It’s all your fault
You’ll never catch me, no
You’ll never catch me, no
Witch hunt
You, want it
So bad
Witch hunt
You, want me
So bad
Open up
Take it in
Once you’ve felt it
You will never want again
Change your name
Hide your face
The way it hurts
Your life will be forever changed
You’ll never catch me, no
You’ll never catch me, no
Witch hunt
You, want it
So bad
Witch hunt
You, want me
So bad
See me in the well
Staring up at you
Wondering how I fell
Wondering what to do
You’ll never catch me
Burning at the stake
My spell is on this town
They drink the things I say
Like the sweetest wine
You will ever taste
Till the morning comes
And the pleasure fades
Witch hunt
You, want it
So bad
Witch hunt
You, want me
So bad

Open up your eyes and see the real me
Who I am, and who I want to be
Here i am, giving you everything
Please don’t let me down
This is the part where I see the auburn glow
Of my trusting heart,
burning in the yard below
And I throw myself through a second story window
So you will know
What it’s like to be me
Open up your heart and tell me everything
Make it long and make it fucking interesting
I’m growing tired of everything
I’ve already seen
But I’m trying to love you still
This is the part where I see the auburn glow
Of my trusting heart,
burning in the yard below
And I throw myself through that second story window
So you will know
What it’s like to be me
This is who i am, when I'm not sleeping
This is who I am, when I can't breathe
This is who I am, when you have everything
But I’m trying to love you still
This is the part where I see the auburn glow
Of my trusting heart,
burning in the yard below
And I throw myself through that second story window
So you will know
What it’s like to be me
This is who i am, when I'm not sleeping
This is who I am, when I can't breathe
This is who I am, when you have everything
But I’m trying to love you still

Polaroid

Counting up the years we planned together
Subtract it from the time we really spent
Trying our best to forget forever
Wiping out the handprints in cement
Today i found a message on my phone
From when we broke up the first time
I tried to ignore it right away
But you were crying on the other line
You said
I miss you
And i hope that we can talk soon
I’ve spent so much time considering
The outcome versus all of my intentions
And the only thing i know for certain
Of all the things i said, i really meant it
That polaroid from san diego
I burned with all our pictures in the yard
Letting go of people is never easy
But letting go of memories is hard
'Cause
I miss you
And i hope that we can talk soon
This song is not a declaration
I will never try to get you back
All we had was just a punctuation
To a young man’s failed plan of attack

Let go of me as soon as you can
The past is a burden that only demands
Let go of me as quick as you can
Climbing is safer with both of your hands
Let go of me
Let go of me
Just leave
Let go of me
I’m sorry I said words I don’t mean
But there is no way I could ever get clean
Im craving that come up that mystery
Whats going to happen at the tip of that peak
I still Believe
I still Believe
In that mystery
I still Believe
Call me when you get to Texas
And tell me how your parents are doing
Cause I love you and I still care
Call me when your sister is fucked up
And you need to talk about it
'Cause I love you and I still care
I still care but that doesn’t mean I have to carry around the burden of our past
I still care but that doesn’t mean I have to carry around our future that was stillborn
I still care but that doesn’t make me less of person cause you’re still carrying a piece of me
I still care because it makes me more whole
