Don't let me ask anything of you
I really don't have the right to
Life's always been hard to get through
I'll be fine
I'm on your side, but not by it
I didn't mean to give you this shit
I held you down for a bit
You're free now
Don't care about my feelings
They're based solely around yours
Just reach for what you want and I'll feel your victory
Don't care about my feelings
They're based solely around yours
Just reach for what you want and I'll feel your victory
I know I will move on somehow
From this heavy heart I've been endowed
And this painful love in which I'm found
I'll be fine
Don't think of me or how I feel
Not that you did or ever will
Now it's over and I can deal
You're free now
Don't care about my feelings
They're based solely around yours
Just reach for what you want and I'll feel your victory
This is the first time in my life that I'll let go of something I held so dear
And nothing remains of what I felt just a few short weeks ago
I learned a most valuable lesson that I'll keep in front of my mind
Don't make someone your everything because you've got nothing when they're gone
I'm naked, hungry, and powerless, guided only by my past
Pushed into the present and I don't feel too good
I hope hope hope you forget all about me
I hope hope hope I'll survive without you

Homicidal Brainiac
The audience is often swayed to bad
Ignorance is a permanent fad
The enlightened few blend with the crowd
But they stand out above the media's cloud
Televised lies set off alarms
Just one attack and we're up in arms
The sour taste of lemon-limes
My own weapon is a book of rhymes
These words are ammunition
The sounds work like an addiction
I'll kill your mental-mania
I'll revive all the sane in ya
Rapid fire, the need is dire, Bush's a liar
The country sinks cuz noone thinks, you can't blink
Help rise for an internal prize before the US dies
We can save with the new wave for this rave
Keep appendages in this crazy ride
Hold on for the media homicide

Here's Your Change
Searching through my pockets
Looking for some change
Cuz I've lost all my sense
The world's become so strange
I'm sitting here in math class
Maybe I should listen
But all that I can think of
Is the way your whole face can glisten
My eyes are failing me, my sight it almost gone
But I still see your face in everything we've done
I'm nearly deaf, I can't hear any noise
Other than this music I like to call your voice
My blood flow is slowing, my nerves are pretty shot
But I still feel your love, you're all I've got
I'm stuck in darkness
Your body gives me light
Your voice and your love
Help me win this fight
You're what keeps me going
When I'm filled with sorrow
You what keeps me looking
Forward to tomorrow

Now and Then
If only it were yesterday
I'd have you by my side, and we could relive all our memories
We wouldn't have to hide, and we'd play amoungst the leaves
Please say you love me, cuz I used to know you meant it
You were always lovely, we had something but we bent it
Let's rewind our lives, we lived moment all so special
Let's remember time, I wonder how we meshed it all
If only it were tomorrow
I'd be far away from here, travelling to such distant lands
I'd be moved onto next year, long forgotten by your beach's sands
I'd be out of this whole mess, I'd remember parts like it was dreamed
My life has been so blessed, I'd step back and know it was better than it seemed
I can just outgrow my past, change myself as I learn how to mature
The years had gone so fast, but I'm sure I'm better off in the future
Every single minute of every hour, a moment's passed that I can't get back
I don't know whether to lament over it or celebrate
To rewind or fast forward
Now that is the question
But now that I think about it...
I'm glad that it's today
I've got tomorrow ahead, alot about my future's on my mind
Yesterday's now dead, that doesn't mean I'll leave it all behind
You're part of my past, you're my now and maybe my later
Our friendship never came last, we're number one by any rater
You are my best friend, even though I miss how we could be
I'll help you past the end, help you get your life where it should be
I'd have you by my side, and we could relive all our memories
We wouldn't have to hide, and we'd play amoungst the leaves
Please say you love me, cuz I used to know you meant it

Keep This Up, I Dare You
There was one day, two or three
Back when you were after me
That I liked youI asked you out and you said yes
Never did I second guess
My mistake...
But you heard some things you didn't like
Gave me some immature nicknames
I ignored thatI called your house, your dad picked up
Guess he expected conversation
Cuz he hates me
You were always mad, but I kept my cool
We would meet after school
But I know now
That it's better off the less we talk
Pretend we're strangers when we walk
Right on by
Now your friends I don't even know
Give me glares with evil glows
How suspicious
To you party, should I go?
I still wanna be your friend even though
You hate my guts
Now it seems you want me dead
Though your jealousies are in your head
Back when you were after me
That I liked youI asked you out and you said yes
Never did I second guess
My mistake...
But you heard some things you didn't like
Gave me some immature nicknames
I ignored thatI called your house, your dad picked up
Guess he expected conversation
Cuz he hates me
You were always mad, but I kept my cool

But I know now
That it's better off the less we talk

Give me glares with evil glows
How suspicious
To you party, should I go?
I still wanna be your friend even though
You hate my guts
Now it seems you want me dead
Though your jealousies are in your head
Sunnyside
What is this doing for me? Nothing
What does my life mean? Nothing
Can you hear me smile when I sing
When my death has come again, I sing
I learned how to live when i forgot about you
Your name is my choice of suicide
I rose like a pheonix from the sawdust
My wooden hearrt won't be lost again
The sunlight tastes like summer now
The moonlight tastes like life now
The stars give flavor to the sky
The spices blind my breathe
Love lost is love never there
Hateful words pollute the air
I blow this off like I don't care
The chills in my spine raise my hair
I can easily describe you as hardboiled
Equally hard on the outside and inside
My feelings are scrambled, my heart overeasy
I remember when you said eggs are cute
Now I'm executed for what my heart once believed
I present this presentation that's recorded on this record
Pretend to tend to this and send me the end of this
Do what I can with this, try not to render this
Return to sender, this love that won't bend with us
Love lost is love never there
Hateful words pollute the air
I blow this off like I don't care
The chills in my spine raise my hair
What is this doing for me? Nothing
What does my life mean? Nothing
Can you hear me smile when I sing
When my death has come again, I sing
What does my life mean? Nothing
Can you hear me smile when I sing
When my death has come again, I sing

When They're Right
Do you know the feeling that you'll always be just a friend?
The feeling where the loneliness will never end?
I'm going through life all on my own
With a hole in my heart that can't be sewn
People say you're a loser and it hurts inside
It's a feeling that stings and I can not hide
But you can't get angry when they're right
When all the walls shrink in real tight
If I could move I would go towards the light
Instead I am stuck in eternal night
Do you know the feeling where you don't know love?
The feeling that there's nothing up above
Surrounded by people set on their ill will
With a hole in my heart that can't be filled
People say noone likes you and it hurts inside
It's a feeling that burns and I can not hide
But you can't get angry when they're right
When all the walls shrink in real tight
If I could move I would go towards the light
Instead I am stuck in eternal night
Do you know the feeling that everyone has left?
The feeling when you call out, the world is deaf?
I'm going through life all on my own
With a hole in my heart that can't be sewn
People tell you they don't care and it hurts inside
It's a feeling that kills and I can not hide
The feeling where the loneliness will never end?
I'm going through life all on my own
With a hole in my heart that can't be sewn
People say you're a loser and it hurts inside
It's a feeling that stings and I can not hide
But you can't get angry when they're right
When all the walls shrink in real tight
If I could move I would go towards the light
Instead I am stuck in eternal night
Do you know the feeling where you don't know love?
The feeling that there's nothing up above
Surrounded by people set on their ill will

Do you know the feeling that everyone has left?
The feeling when you call out, the world is deaf?
I'm going through life all on my own
With a hole in my heart that can't be sewn
People tell you they don't care and it hurts inside
It's a feeling that kills and I can not hide
Similarities of Opposite Nights
Not given the gift of a good first impression
That one night that was filled with aggression
I said some things I shouldn't have said
The rest of the night I lay up in bed
You seem really nice and looked quite attractive
But on Halloween night, my heart wasn't active
Halloween party, I looked in your eyes
The bad things I said were nothing but lies
I heard that you said some bad things about me
But I coulnd't say that I didn't agree
I walked in the door and joked around while
I looked right at you and noticed that smile
A smile I didn't see much at our previous meeting
But saw alot more of while we were eating
An amazing night where I felt I could fly
Unlike last time, where I felt I could die
Both nights are over, both nights are done
Both were so quick, where has time gone?
Who knows how next time we'll meet
But Halloween night won't be too hard to beat

High School Hits Low
What's the point of high school romances?
The real lovers get no second chances
Heart-breakers are only looking for some fun
I'm done with all of that, yeah, I'm done
I don't need a girl
I'm sick with this damn heartache
Thieves now rule the world
You lose all that they take
Thay tell me that we'd be great together
A fool to think there's a way to get her
I bet you've heard this story before
My heart and mind go to war
I don't need a girl
I'm sick with this damn heartache
I buy her a lovely pearl
Just to find my corpse in a lake
Now I've got a chance but this is the end
Express how I feel without thinking of what's going to be coming up next
These are my last words
But I feel so strong that I'm making the right choice
The real lovers get no second chances
Heart-breakers are only looking for some fun
I'm done with all of that, yeah, I'm done
I don't need a girl

Priorities
She's missing him and who he used to be
He's missing his personal paradise
While she's thinking of how things were
He's thinking of a plane trip away
She's chasing after him while he's chasing Italy
She's trying to capture love, he's trying to capture memories
She arrives when he finally leaves
She fights for her wants, he fights for his needs
They're gonna travel the world and go nowhere
She walks through the streets and he walks to the beach
It's likely that their paths will never cross
She's on the sidewalk while he sits on the dock
He knows there's adventure waiting for him
He's chasing after Italy and she's chasing after him
He's tries to see the end while she's waiting to begin
Can't predict if either will win
He fights for vice, she fights for sin
They're gonna go nowhere and travel the world
When the sun goes down and the sky turns red
They close their eyes in seperate beds
They look at themselves and something is lacking
They look to the stars to see the clouds are blackening
Their paths will cross and they'll finally see
A beautiful family raised in beautiful Italy
He's missing his personal paradise
While she's thinking of how things were
He's thinking of a plane trip away
She's chasing after him while he's chasing Italy
She's trying to capture love, he's trying to capture memories
She arrives when he finally leaves
She fights for her wants, he fights for his needs
They're gonna travel the world and go nowhere
She walks through the streets and he walks to the beach
It's likely that their paths will never cross
She's on the sidewalk while he sits on the dock
He knows there's adventure waiting for him
He's chasing after Italy and she's chasing after him
He's tries to see the end while she's waiting to begin
Can't predict if either will win
He fights for vice, she fights for sin
They're gonna go nowhere and travel the world
When the sun goes down and the sky turns red

Their paths will cross and they'll finally see

Songs Like Sighs
I felt like I was the worst thing brought to this Earth
But there's something about your smile that feel like rebirth
All in one night, I felt simply renewed
Thanks to a girl that I already knew
Dreamland, dreamland, I must be asleep
Cuz when I see you, my eyes open, I keep
No law of gravity can hold down my heart
Enough of hard liquor and ashtrays, hard liquor and ashtrays
Get addicted to me
Thanks for proving religions wrong
Thanks for exposing an unrealized truth
Thanks for holding my hand, telling me I can
You don't have to die to be in heaven
That's what you tought me
You're my pretty darling baby, and noone can take that away except you
You're my pretty darling baby, I wish I could change all the things you've been through
But the past is done and done, though it will never really be gone
I hope to make you smile, even for just a little while
I just hope to be worth your time
I'll learn to meet expectations, to know limitations
While I spend my time missing you
I want to pass expectations, to be your exception
Please don't think I'm just another guy
I'm not just another guy
You're my pretty darling baby
But there's something about your smile that feel like rebirth
All in one night, I felt simply renewed
Thanks to a girl that I already knew
Dreamland, dreamland, I must be asleep
Cuz when I see you, my eyes open, I keep
No law of gravity can hold down my heart
Enough of hard liquor and ashtrays, hard liquor and ashtrays
Get addicted to me
Thanks for proving religions wrong
Thanks for exposing an unrealized truth
Thanks for holding my hand, telling me I can
You don't have to die to be in heaven
That's what you tought me
You're my pretty darling baby, and noone can take that away except you
You're my pretty darling baby, I wish I could change all the things you've been through
But the past is done and done, though it will never really be gone
I hope to make you smile, even for just a little while
I just hope to be worth your time
I'll learn to meet expectations, to know limitations
While I spend my time missing you
I want to pass expectations, to be your exception
Please don't think I'm just another guy
I'm not just another guy
You're my pretty darling baby
A New Kind of Song
I wanna write a song like no other
But how can I saw what I need to?
All the best ideas are already taken
Broken hearts and tear-filled eyes
Love and hate and suicide
There is something within that I'm going without
There's something I need to say
But I don't know what it is
It's just a feeling in my chest
That I don't know how to express
I don't wanna write something so typical
I need a song that will start something
A song that will make people think
Or maybe I'm looking for something else
Can I even get it out via song?
Have I just wasted all these words?
But how can I saw what I need to?
All the best ideas are already taken
Broken hearts and tear-filled eyes
Love and hate and suicide
There is something within that I'm going without
There's something I need to say
But I don't know what it is
It's just a feeling in my chest
That I don't know how to express
I don't wanna write something so typical

Face Down In A Guillotine
I would stand up if my neck wasn't held down
I would rise up but noone has my back
It's obvious what's coming but I can't see it
The clock ticks with each beat of my heart
Your carping manner lead me here
You'll love the way this ends for me
My heart has repeatedly been lampooned
Screaming until my lungs are removed
Not the first time my chest's an open wound
I'll just leave this world with nothing proved
You might want to reach out with tied hands
Just let me go, I'll die for you
I'll be your homemade Jesus
You'll supply the hammer and nails
You will be the executioner
Both hands on the rope
Goodbye
I would rise up but noone has my back
It's obvious what's coming but I can't see it
The clock ticks with each beat of my heart
Your carping manner lead me here
You'll love the way this ends for me
My heart has repeatedly been lampooned
Screaming until my lungs are removed
Not the first time my chest's an open wound
I'll just leave this world with nothing proved
You might want to reach out with tied hands
Just let me go, I'll die for you
I'll be your homemade Jesus
You'll supply the hammer and nails
You will be the executioner
Both hands on the rope
Goodbye
It Looks Like I'm Leaving Home, But I'm Really Going Home
I'm stuck at home cuz you won't drive and I
Can't live the life for which I strive
I do all this work without a thanks while my
Friends hit the street playing pranks
You're grabbing my wrist, you give it a twist
You're holding me back but I can't get pissed
You hand me the tools, while you lay in the pool
I've done this too long and I'm losing my cool
One day, some day, you'll lose your son
He left the house, he's out having fun
He fought the fight while you ran and hid
Your son, your son, is now a regular kid
Let go of my wrist, I am getting pissed
Cuz now my arm's attached to a fist
I was the fool, who was cleaning the pool
But soon this house will be under my rule
Keep your hands off the pressure points cuz I just might swing
You'll regret confronting such a caged animal
We can take this fight out of the house and into the ring
You'll soon find your chance of survival is minimal
I know you play it off like it's nothing
But way you treat me is criminal
Think of your son and the farewell he bidYour son only wanted to be a regular kid
Can't live the life for which I strive
I do all this work without a thanks while my
Friends hit the street playing pranks
You're grabbing my wrist, you give it a twist
You're holding me back but I can't get pissed
You hand me the tools, while you lay in the pool
I've done this too long and I'm losing my cool
One day, some day, you'll lose your son
He left the house, he's out having fun
He fought the fight while you ran and hid
Your son, your son, is now a regular kid
Let go of my wrist, I am getting pissed
Cuz now my arm's attached to a fist
I was the fool, who was cleaning the pool

Keep your hands off the pressure points cuz I just might swing
You'll regret confronting such a caged animal

The Girl Behind the Bullet-Proof Man
Everything was getting too difficult, I came so close to giving up
It hurts too much to try, and I'm not so strong
I hoped so much that I could work it out
I felt my life held such little promise, that's when she called and said
"You're never given a dream without a chance to make it true
You're never given a hurdle that's impossible to jump
And when life makes you feel so down, it can turn around
Sometimes not getting what you want is a stroke of good luck"
My grades are down and so is my heart
My love life ain't exactly a work of art
Hold on, here's my favorite part
Cuz she said
"You can reach the stars, but not if you just stand there
Work your way up, using the clouds as your steps
And when you get lonely with what you thought you wanted
I'll still be down here hoping you come back"
I can't do sports and I'm not that talented
I often wish I could change the things I did
While everyone grows up, I'll still be a kid
And she said
"Don't live up to their expectations, overcome them
Don't stand out of line, but rather start your own
To the world you may be just one person
But to one person, you may be the world"
It hurts too much to try, and I'm not so strong
I hoped so much that I could work it out
I felt my life held such little promise, that's when she called and said
"You're never given a dream without a chance to make it true
You're never given a hurdle that's impossible to jump
And when life makes you feel so down, it can turn around

The Non-Song (Not Worthy)
The things we never said are repeated in my head
While I lay down in my bed, I almost wish that I was dead
All those stupid inside jokes
We kept from other folks
Small things noone noticed, time I thought of you in class
The time you kept me from looking like the biggest fucking ass
Here's to the words not worth to sing
Here's to what doesn't mean a thing
Here's to the milk spilt over you
Incomplete plans with my crew
Hate is so strong, I love it
You sink so low, I'll rise above it
Hate breeds where my heart once was
My heart beats faster than the bass drum does
I fight even though my whole body is sore
So much to do, so why am I bored?
I turn the radio on and think too deeply
The music sings me to an eternal sleep
Here's to the words not worth to sing
Here's to what doesn't mean a thing
Here's to the milk spilt over you
Incomplete plans with my crew
Hate is so strong, I love it
You sink so low, I'll rise above it
Why are the words alwasy wrong?
Hit the wrong notes throughout the whole song
My pain comes from things never mentioned
Now even I question my intentions
The song's filled with you but it's empty
Love is too fake for you to see
Here's to the words not worth to sing
Here's to what doesn't mean a thing
Here's to the milk spilt over you
Incomplete plans with my crew
Hate is so strong, I love it
You sink so low, I'll rise above it
While I lay down in my bed, I almost wish that I was dead
All those stupid inside jokes
We kept from other folks
Small things noone noticed, time I thought of you in class
The time you kept me from looking like the biggest fucking ass
Here's to the words not worth to sing
Here's to what doesn't mean a thing
Here's to the milk spilt over you
Incomplete plans with my crew
Hate is so strong, I love it
You sink so low, I'll rise above it
Hate breeds where my heart once was
My heart beats faster than the bass drum does
I fight even though my whole body is sore
So much to do, so why am I bored?
I turn the radio on and think too deeply
The music sings me to an eternal sleep
Here's to the words not worth to sing
Here's to what doesn't mean a thing
Here's to the milk spilt over you
Incomplete plans with my crew
Hate is so strong, I love it
You sink so low, I'll rise above it
Why are the words alwasy wrong?
Hit the wrong notes throughout the whole song
My pain comes from things never mentioned
Now even I question my intentions
The song's filled with you but it's empty
Love is too fake for you to see
Here's to the words not worth to sing
Here's to what doesn't mean a thing
Here's to the milk spilt over you
Incomplete plans with my crew
Hate is so strong, I love it
You sink so low, I'll rise above it

Based on a True Story
Silent room with lonely me
Nothing to say but to say I love you
Nothing to think but to think how to say it
You've been gone two weeeks, you've been gone too long
I keep my strength up with thoughts of your charm
Both saturdays stay in front of my mind
Right behind my eyes, so look deep past the brown
Cuz these pupils want your lessons of things noone knows
Distance only makes me want to see you longer
I feed off your love, please don't let me starve
Trust me, I won't get full
This is based on a true story
I love you more than I can say
The taste left in my mouth
Gives flavor to these words
It may be more than I can chew
It might be hard to digest
But you're worth the risk
Dress my neck with kisses
I'm just a few teethmarks from heaven
Nothing to say but to say I love you
Nothing to think but to think how to say it
You've been gone two weeeks, you've been gone too long
I keep my strength up with thoughts of your charm
Both saturdays stay in front of my mind
Right behind my eyes, so look deep past the brown
Cuz these pupils want your lessons of things noone knows
Distance only makes me want to see you longer
I feed off your love, please don't let me starve
Trust me, I won't get full
This is based on a true story
I love you more than I can say
The taste left in my mouth
Gives flavor to these words
It may be more than I can chew
It might be hard to digest
But you're worth the risk
Dress my neck with kisses
I'm just a few teethmarks from heaven
My Alphabet
A world of hunger, a world of fight, a place to run, no place to hide
Be prepared, be enabled, be yourself, but please be kind
See yourself, see others, see the future, and these ties that bond
Dehypnotize, destroy the chains, or decompose, just use your mind
Even the odds, even the balance, even my friends know what they heard
Effigies burn bright, effigies burn strong, effigies burn long, see what you've learned
Geography shows landscape, G. Washington helped fight... [working on it <_<]
Here are the ABC's of where I wanna be, what you mean to me
Here's the list of what I'm fighting for, what I adore, gotta win this war
8 shows that corrupt, 8 shots that didn't kill, 8, sugar, don't mean what it used to
I know what I've done, eyes that didn't run, irony can hurt, so watch what you do
J is for the joy, but J's also for jealousy, JFK showed promise, look what we've lost
Crazy but it's OK for us to be, Canine in instinct, live like you are
Elevate your level, elevate your lover, illness inside, but it quickly subsides
America is blowing up anything we don't understand, oh it's so sad to see
Piano keys echo at the cuz of the conductor, are we allowed to be?
Here's the ABC's of where I wanna be, what you mean to me
Here's the list of what I'm fighting for, what I adore, gotta win this war
Assimilate fragments of reality, the past of you and me
Veer to the left cuz you're seeing double, you fight with your ex cuz you still love me
Why is it that we're so split, like a zebra, tainted with opposing thoughts
Much like any ABC, we're bound to reach an XYZ
Gossip and such blashemy tears me apart gradually
Another way to be depends on how you see
Examples and reasons why to not be lazy
Be prepared, be enabled, be yourself, but please be kind
See yourself, see others, see the future, and these ties that bond
Dehypnotize, destroy the chains, or decompose, just use your mind
Even the odds, even the balance, even my friends know what they heard
Effigies burn bright, effigies burn strong, effigies burn long, see what you've learned

Hopes, Doubts, and Maybes
I've been thinking alot these past couple nights
I've gone on long walks to clear my mind
Looking over all of our past fights
There's just one thing I've come to find
I need you to trust me, I need you to need me
Please, love, I say what I mean
Hey baby, please admit I love you
I think it's pretty obvious
I don't think you'd let me hold you like I do if you didn't know
Let's hold onto something good
Don't let me let you go, I won't let me let you go
Believe me, girl, I'm all for you
Don't hope I love you, just know it
When you're gone, you wonder what I do
I've got something great, I won't blow it
Why won't you trust me? I need you to need me
Believe it, I mean what I say
Hey sunshine, let me show I love you
There's a good connection with us
I don't think you'd let me hold you
Like I do if you didn't know
Let's hold onto what we should
Don't let me forget you so, I won't let me forget you though
I've gone on long walks to clear my mind

Letter to a Lover
Dear Kelley, there's something I want to say to you
Your smile, your laugh and words, I hope that they're true
Cuz those three things are part of what I fell for
I really want to feel this feeling some more
When I see you, I hope as I walk through the doors
That you look into my eyes the way I look into yours
Watching as the future turns into the past
We can look to eachother for something that can last
The bush isn't the only fire ignited
Each progressive moment, the flame is heightened
I'll keep it lighted to keep you warm
We can share the hear while you're in my arms
Dear Kelley, I hope you appreciate this note
I've meant every single word I wrote
The importance of this song is stressed
This is the best way I make my feelings expressed
I'm paralyzed by the way you're so pretty
Like I'm standing on the tracks, the train will hit me
Any which way, for you I will bend
Dear Kelly, will you be my girlfriend?
Your smile, your laugh and words, I hope that they're true
Cuz those three things are part of what I fell for
I really want to feel this feeling some more
When I see you, I hope as I walk through the doors
That you look into my eyes the way I look into yours
Watching as the future turns into the past
We can look to eachother for something that can last
The bush isn't the only fire ignited
Each progressive moment, the flame is heightened
I'll keep it lighted to keep you warm
We can share the hear while you're in my arms
Dear Kelley, I hope you appreciate this note
I've meant every single word I wrote
The importance of this song is stressed
This is the best way I make my feelings expressed
I'm paralyzed by the way you're so pretty
Like I'm standing on the tracks, the train will hit me
Any which way, for you I will bend
Dear Kelly, will you be my girlfriend?
Salitory Neglect
Before you left, my heart was throbbing
I thought it meant I loved you
But now you're gone, you're different
You deny that you know who I am
You think it hurts me, but I'm better off
I benefit from your hate for me
The last six lines, memorize
Cuz the last six lines summarize
The way my pain dies
When I escape your eyes
After you left, my heart stopped sobbing
A sigh of relief shot through
I found someone new, she's heaven-sent
Unlike you, she actually gives a damn
You think it hurts me, but I'm not so soft
The new me, I wish you could see
Before you left, my heart was throbbing (After you left, my heart stopped sobbing)
I thought it meant I loved you (A sigh of relief show through)
But now you're gone, you're different (I found someone new, she's heaven-sent)
You deny that you know who I am (Unlike you, she gives a damn)
You think it hurts me, but I'm better off (You think it hurts me, but I'm not so soft)
I benefit from your hate for me (The new me, I wish you could see)
I thought it meant I loved you
But now you're gone, you're different
You deny that you know who I am
You think it hurts me, but I'm better off

Just Another Lie
This is just another song to get me through the day
Write down whatever my mind may say
Come across writer's block along the way
The sun catches me by just on ray
And hold me under Huntington Bay
With all the memories I can relay
The water won't give my lungs any leway
Just another song to test my rhyme
Just another way to waste my time
I'm sorry if I overdo it
But it's my life, it's hard to get through it
The words just flow out of the pen
I ride the surf to the song's end
I heard how she decided to just be my friend
It left a rip that I just can't mend
I read hidden messages I didn't send
That date way back to a time when
The images I saw were perfect and didn't bend
Write down whatever my mind may say
Come across writer's block along the way
The sun catches me by just on ray
And hold me under Huntington Bay
With all the memories I can relay
The water won't give my lungs any leway
Just another song to test my rhyme
Just another way to waste my time
I'm sorry if I overdo it
But it's my life, it's hard to get through it
The words just flow out of the pen
I ride the surf to the song's end
I heard how she decided to just be my friend
It left a rip that I just can't mend
I read hidden messages I didn't send
That date way back to a time when
The images I saw were perfect and didn't bend
Before My Death (12:34)
Stay here with me, I'll stay here with you
When I die tonight, you'll know what to do
Bury me underground and accept all of my love
While I slip into eternal sleep, you'll be the one I dream of
So take my hand while I'm living today
When I'm dead tomorrow, remember what I say
I breath your life, so I hold my breathe
I don't wanna waste it while I countdown to my death
What him as he dies
From night skies and your eyes
He was different from other boys
Completely controlled by your voice
Your beauty pierced his heart
And led to his depart
But he'll never be gone
If your love goes on
Time's running out, it's 12:31
Three minutes left, my life's almost done
Darkness falls and I go blind
The pain is numbing while I leave this world behind
Listening is all you have to do
Just hear this lips that say "I love you"
When I die tonight, you'll know what to do
Bury me underground and accept all of my love
While I slip into eternal sleep, you'll be the one I dream of
So take my hand while I'm living today
When I'm dead tomorrow, remember what I say
I breath your life, so I hold my breathe
I don't wanna waste it while I countdown to my death
What him as he dies
From night skies and your eyes
He was different from other boys
Completely controlled by your voice
Your beauty pierced his heart
And led to his depart
But he'll never be gone
If your love goes on
Time's running out, it's 12:31
Three minutes left, my life's almost done
Darkness falls and I go blind
The pain is numbing while I leave this world behind
Listening is all you have to do
Just hear this lips that say "I love you"
The New World's No Longer America
Today's a new day, windows present a different picture
Breaking away, add new options to the mixture
Life is upside down, we're living it wrong
The world is a new one, we've flipped Earth around
We're having some fun, screaming without a sound
Death is not sad now, the night is so bright
Rules they don't allow, murder's alright
Cat's are now kings with rats by their side
Dogs insist we play dead and we do it all too well
Yesterday's tomorrow and today doesn't happen
Fly in a swallow, the plane's wings are flappin'
We've got nukes for peace and civilians for war
Cat's are now kings with rats by their side
Dogs insist we play dead and we do it all too well
Cat's are now kings with rats by their side
Dogs insist we play dead and we do it all too well
Nothing's the same, here's to life on the sun
Love is a game, it's played just for fun
Each girl's a princess, and they get what they get
A heart is too excessive, so we treat them like shit
Cat's are now kings with rats by their side
Dogs insist we play dead and we do it all too well
We do it all too well
Salt in a wound, it's the newest relief
Dead flowers are blooming, against all belief
Drownign in air, so don't let me breath
I only find hope when the sword isn't sheathed
Breaking away, add new options to the mixture
Life is upside down, we're living it wrong
The world is a new one, we've flipped Earth around
We're having some fun, screaming without a sound
Death is not sad now, the night is so bright
Rules they don't allow, murder's alright

Halcyon Maelstrom
I can't do anything right, the wrong choiced always look good
Maybe this dagger can guide me, I'll read the writing from the blade
My wrist is oozing with good stories, my mind gushes with bad ideas
Eyes stuck permanently in the tear position, my heart is in the tear position
So much happening but I'll survive, it's just my stupid suicide
Amongst this chaos, I seem so calm
But nothing's right since your mouth dropped that bomb
There is something serene about this mess
Is this the first time the knight is in distress?
A vortex of good weather, whien it hits we'll all feel better
But we can never return to our best, even the greatest twister leaves scars
Can empty words mean something when said to someone hollow?
A solemn storm attacks my house, this shelter's just a shell
Never learn how others feel until you hear your eulogy
Amongst this chaos, I seem so calm
But nothing's right since your mouth dropped that bomb
There is something serene about this mess
Is this the first time the knight is in distress?
There's something serene about this mess
It's just my stupid suicide
Maybe this dagger can guide me, I'll read the writing from the blade
My wrist is oozing with good stories, my mind gushes with bad ideas
Eyes stuck permanently in the tear position, my heart is in the tear position
So much happening but I'll survive, it's just my stupid suicide
Amongst this chaos, I seem so calm
But nothing's right since your mouth dropped that bomb

There's something serene about this mess
It's just my stupid suicide
Thanks & Sorry
What would she do? How would he react? Just don't let them know
Can we start new? What is it we lacked? Let's pack our bags and go
Whether you're coming or not, I'm leaving this place
I won't regret leaving all of this behind
I've never had anything, so I've got nothing to lose
I'm going on an adventure, will you be a part of it?
Or are you going to be apart from it?
I'd like to thank the kids who laughed at me and the girls who broke my heart
Thanks to all the adults out where who decide how things should be
Thank you to the boss who has me working days I have plans
Thank you to the friends who lie, hide things, or forget to call
Thank you to the peers that judge me and try to bring me down
You all leave me with one thing to say.... goodbye
The street is marked by tires that lead to what's call home
A plave where you're held captive and you're made to feel alone
Where action's just in movies and love's only in books
There's no sense of adventure, you're too focused on looks
Sorry to all the kids who cried and to the kids who never cared
Sorry to all those who never lied and to those that never dared
Learn one thing and don't forget, this secret's hard to find
You can always do just what I did and leave this place behind
I've taught myself to hide from things that hurt
Experience shows it's better to just run towards what you want
I'm going on an adventure, will you be a part of it?
Or are you going to be apart from it?

This Girl and the Other
My girl keeps asking questions. Why can't she just relax?
We can never just lay down in silence
My girl keeps having dougts. Why can't she just believe?
I can never tell if she's really smiling
Maybe I should leave her for that girl who truely loved me
I want that girl who would smile when we talked
That girl who'd just be happy when we held hands as we walked
I want that who'd lay with me and watch movies
I know someday she'll travel the world with me
My girl keeps saying thing. Why can't she listen to me?
Very rarely does she say something nice
My girl keeps on pushing me. Why can't she just let me be?
I can never schoose when, where, and what I do
I want that girl
I want that girl who truely understands
That girl who'd run away with me to distant lands
I want that girl who knows what she is talking about
Not the girl who moves her mouth until her eyes pop out
My girl's now what I want. Why do I stick with her?
Why can't we just be friends? Why am I still with her?
I've tried before to save us both. Why do I stick with her?
Why am I still with her?
We can never just lay down in silence
My girl keeps having dougts. Why can't she just believe?
I can never tell if she's really smiling
Maybe I should leave her for that girl who truely loved me
I want that girl who would smile when we talked
That girl who'd just be happy when we held hands as we walked
I want that who'd lay with me and watch movies
I know someday she'll travel the world with me
My girl keeps saying thing. Why can't she listen to me?
Very rarely does she say something nice
My girl keeps on pushing me. Why can't she just let me be?

My girl's now what I want. Why do I stick with her?
Why can't we just be friends? Why am I still with her?
I've tried before to save us both. Why do I stick with her?
Why am I still with her?

Please, just please, please show and teach to me
The last thing I could need is someone just to tell me
Instead, can you be the one who will just show me
I need a test that could really help me

A lesson that actually deals with life
Hey there myself, can you show me how I really feel?

Teach me how to hug, as a sign of love, and really mean it
Hey there sad friend, can you show me how to make you smile?
How to wipe your teach, how to last all year, how to make me worth your while
Hey there mad friend, can you show me how to calm you down?
How to numb your pain, to not lose but gain, how to modify your frown
Don't, please don't, don't fight and preach to me
Please, just please, please show and teach to me
The last thing I could need is someone just to tell me
Instead, can you be the one who will just show me
I need a test that could really help me
I need a quiz that could make a difference
A lesson that actually deals with life
Hey there myself, can you show me how I really feel?
What my heart knows, how my mind grows, how to make my life real
Hey there myself, can you teach me how to make friends
How to help me through, how to keep them too, how to reach the end
Teach me how to hide my crying
Teach me how to avoid dying
Give me a lesson in living a good life
Give me a test on loving a good wife
Girl Next Door
Phone keeps ringing, noone picks up
The way this is going isn't enough
I try to tell you how I feel
You seem too great, not sure you're real
The way I think about you, you don't know
I wish my life was more like a broadway show
Where the boy and girl meet and fall in love
Where their relationship gets a little "push and shove"
But they stay together, she stays forever
If only you loved me back
Doorbell is ringing, but it's never you
Forgetting this is too hard to do
A reason for this is hard to make
Here's a though; are these feelings fake?

Good Riddance
There's a part of me that misses your way of playing with my hair
There's a part of me that misses your way of living without care
There's a part of me that misses your never ending stare
There's a part of me that misses your beauty that's so rare
There's a part of me that misses you
You're gone, I'm glad, the times we had
That once we said just what we meant
We knew only we're meant to be
We'll soon forget the day we met
Good Riddance
There's a part of me that thinks about the night that we first met
There's a part of me that thinks about when we showed up home all wet
There's a part of me that thinks about the evil plans we wrought
There's a part of me that thinks about our sad and happy thoughts
There's a part of me that thinks about you
You're gone, I'm glad, the times we had
That once we said just what we meant
We knew only we're meant to be
We'll soon forget the day we met
Good Riddance
There's a part of me that loves that same feeling that kills
There's a part of me that loves your pretty eyes, if you will
There's a part of me that loves our view from our own little hill
There's a part of me that loves how your love is such a thrill
There's a part of me that loves you
That part of me is the heart
There's a part of me that misses your way of living without care
There's a part of me that misses your never ending stare
There's a part of me that misses your beauty that's so rare
There's a part of me that misses you

Words Wasted Wrong (For the Wrong Girl)
Don't you dare ever say that again
Or it will be the end of me
With all of my time I'm gonna spend
I'll never get you to see
Don't let my woe bother yours
I mean not to inconvenience
Both our eyes, like faucet pours
Around our hearts, we lack a fence
Let me tell you why I cry
When I see your tears, I die
But at the same time, I want to be so alive
Cuz I know you need someone by your side
Or it will be the end of me
With all of my time I'm gonna spend
I'll never get you to see
Don't let my woe bother yours
I mean not to inconvenience
Both our eyes, like faucet pours
Around our hearts, we lack a fence
Let me tell you why I cry
When I see your tears, I die
But at the same time, I want to be so alive
Cuz I know you need someone by your side
Mi Amore, Mi Speranza, e Mi Principessa
Life has changed in almost every single way
It's become rather jocular from disarray
There is no more pussilanimous me
I won't take this recumbantly
I used to be the flotsam floating in the lake
But the atrophy of my heart no longer counts down to my wake
I've gleaned my sanity back from my mordant past
My frenetic stratagem doesn't seem so ludicrous at last
My speranza has incarcerated the source of my grouse
She's helped me realize the home is not always a house
I've never let anything get me nettled
I'm past all that and push down the pedal
Nothing pecuniary is incumbant with her
Just moments with her to which I always refer
There's no more exigency in the newfound bastion of my chest
The concord of our heartbeats consummate us to our best

Untitled
This is all for your own sake, since you've dreamt of being awake
Your heart has left you to hide behind a masterful disguise
Leave me far behind you as I leave you even further
Live life for yourself since you've never loved someone else
Peaceful coexistence, you wouldn't know what that mean
You go crying to your mama with your self-created drama
Since I'm the one you shun, consider me done
Your heart has left you to hide behind a masterful disguise
Leave me far behind you as I leave you even further

Sunny Wishes at Midnight
At nightfall, we find some truth
For us all, got hands that soothe
Our dreamlands, where suns shine bright
On soft sands, we'll reach new height
Together
The sun's always brighter across the world
And when it is you wish the stars would fade
The moon's lit up, trying to compete
Cuz my life is so sunny when I've got my Rae

The Sky Never Falls
I can tell you what I feel
I can open my heart to you
I can show you everything
And that's what I do
I've been working so hard, and it's all been so easy
I've seen all the good, and I've made it all work
But you, you can't feel a thing, Why do you stay with me?
And you, you tell me how you feel, now I feel like a jerk
All I needed was to tell you that I love you
And to hear the same from you
But that's the only two things you can't stand
I guess you fell out of love
I wish you still felt the same, because we had it good
You were as big as the sky in my mind, I was the same in yours
But now you're as heavy as a boulder in my heart, I could
I couldn't, I guess the sky never falls
I fell like a brick and it hurt, you're just feeling fine
I'm breaking and cracking and wishing I'd heal
You think of everyone else while I sit helpless, my teeth grind
I used to think I wanted to know how you feel
We used to listen to music, I saw your smile-esque casualty
I'd think about dialing, but your parents wouldn't let me call
We used to watch the blue sky, but now the only thing blue is me
And your hair, symbolic of how you and the sky never fall
Think of this as a "get well soon" letter
Think of this as an "I miss you" glance
I only wish that things could have been better
I only wish that I had even a chance
I can open my heart to you
I can show you everything
And that's what I do
I've been working so hard, and it's all been so easy
I've seen all the good, and I've made it all work
But you, you can't feel a thing, Why do you stay with me?
And you, you tell me how you feel, now I feel like a jerk
All I needed was to tell you that I love you
And to hear the same from you
But that's the only two things you can't stand
I guess you fell out of love

Angels
I see the shell of an angel and the heart of a prisoner
You're too good for the ball and chain you bear
I'll try to shave you of your tethers though I know you could do this
I mean, if you survived the fall from heaven, it should be a breeze
Don't hold onto what hurts
I know you've loved me before
Let go of what holds you back
Please give me another chance
I wonder where you fly to when the sun goes down
I ponder where you put your head when your eyelids fall
Can you lift off the ground at all with this?
With all the weight you've got pulling you down?
Let go of what holds you back
I want to make you so very happy
Don't hold onto what hurts
And I was wondering if it could be with me
It may seem odd to ask an angel settle for a mortal
But I guess it's a step up from settling for a demon
I hope you think so cuz I don't have too much time
Unlike angels, I've got an hourglass counting my time
Don't hold onto what hurts
Spread your wings out
Let go of what holds you back
And just fly free
You're too good for the ball and chain you bear
I'll try to shave you of your tethers though I know you could do this
I mean, if you survived the fall from heaven, it should be a breeze
Don't hold onto what hurts
I know you've loved me before
Let go of what holds you back
Please give me another chance
I wonder where you fly to when the sun goes down
I ponder where you put your head when your eyelids fall
Can you lift off the ground at all with this?

The Damsel Is a Dragon
Let's talk about the pain you caused, sweety
The pain you caused to yourself and me
The pain I couldn't put up with anymore
The lies and the self control you didn't have
You're simply a promiscuous unlover
I question your name since then
Since I learned more than you wanted me to know
You broke my heart and I'm sure I won't be the last
But realize that you're neither the first nor last
So kind of you to not want to talk about this
So typical of you to run, girl
You can put all of your energy into it
But let me tell you that it's all for naught
Let me tell you your past will catch up to you
You're losing more and more friends
More and more because of who you are
Are you a girl or are you a monster?
I've seen sufficient proof of both
Don't expect me to respect your feelings
Not when you don't show that you have any
I've been much more than a knight lately
I thought you were the damsel, not the dragon
So typical of you to run, girl
You can put all of your energy into it
But let me tell you that it's all for naught
Let me tell you your past will catch up to you
I should have seen this coming from the beginning
I don't know how I put up with all that shit you gave me
I used to think I had problems, but I learned
I didn't really know what problems were until I met you
My inner demons cower in your shadow
I'll need all my strength when I fight my outer demon
Let me tell you how lucky you are to not know
Not know the pain when the damsel becomes the dragon
You've been caught
We all know now
You're a beast
You were a beauty
Keep from my castle
Keep from my life
I'll draw my sword
I'll hold my sheild
We all know now
Now that you've been caught
So typical of you to run, girl
You can put all of your energy into it
But let me tell you that it's all for naught
Let me tell you your past will catch up to you
The pain you caused to yourself and me
The pain I couldn't put up with anymore
The lies and the self control you didn't have
You're simply a promiscuous unlover

La La La
Let me tell you about a pretty little birdie
Who's found its spot on my shoulder
I tell her all my secrets, then she tweets me all of hers
She sings a song that just lures me in
And I'm glad she flew into my life
Hey there, sweet bird
You're too beautiful to catch
You wouldn't let me catch you anyway, would you?
I won't try, but will you please stay close by
I need your singsong lullabies
You need your biggest fan
She's always been caged for decoration
But I'm going to let her fly free
Noone has the right to hide away such a beauty
You're noone's but your own
Don't let your wings get clipped
Hey there, sweet bird
Do you know that you can fly?
Kept in such closed spaces, you never had a chance
You can rise far above these troubles, you can reach greatness
You're better than this life
You're better than this
Who's found its spot on my shoulder
I tell her all my secrets, then she tweets me all of hers
She sings a song that just lures me in
And I'm glad she flew into my life
Hey there, sweet bird
You're too beautiful to catch
You wouldn't let me catch you anyway, would you?
I won't try, but will you please stay close by

You can rise far above these troubles, you can reach greatness
You're better than this life
You're better than this
Falling From Face
The tears born in my eyes
They blur my vision 'til everything's beautiful
They've become my liquid friends
They fall to their doom which is so hard to watch
Somewhere there's an outside source
That causes each and every lethal splash
And all I can do is wait
Until these tears roll over a real smile
I would really love to avenge each of these little deaths
But I know that you aren't really the enemy here
So keep these friends coming cuz I can't let my eyes dry
And just let me now that you'll always be there
I try to save each drop
But they slip through my fingers or explode on my palm
I follow them with my eyes
They flow through these lines that are so well defined
Somehow there is beauty
In this waterfall of the last couple weeks
Winter's on its way
This river will freeze over, my love
I forgive you, my princess, for being so lovely
Will you forgive me for wanting you so bad?
How far do each of these ripples reach?
Cuz I can't see the end of this puddle of love
The tears born in my eyes (I try to save each drop)
They blur my vision 'til everything's beautiful (But they slip through my fingers or explode on my palm)
They've become my liquid friends (I follow them with my eyes)

Side Roads and Deadends
My heart's an old Ford but it still get me round
I made it myself from crap that I've found
It's all broken down, yet somehow so sturdy
It's got me through mud, no matter how dirty
It gets pretty hard but I'll have to deal
With getting through life with only one wheel
I slow to a stop as my heart breaks down
I'm stuck by myself in Heartache Town
If only I could get her to help my car start
And fill the empty space in the gas tank of my heart
I need to get out of this ugly old city
And stop by her love that was ever so pretty
I get my car going, I'm driving so fast
Things start to blur as they're flying past
There's no stop at the end of the road
And I break out of my chest which was so recently sewed
I'm free from myself, yeah I'm finally free
My heart that's in pieces is displayed publicly
I'm still all alone and I remember an age
When my body held no open rib cage
I can't turn back now so I hit on the pedal
In my gas-run heart that's just one heap of metal
There's no looking back without shedding a tear
But I must push on to an empty new year
I hope you can breath since you left me, the one you'll forget. And if your car ever breaks down, I'll leave a tank of gas right where you stop, since I'm all too familiar with that road. I'll stick to my seat until I come by you again.

Sheltered in Painful Pictures
This is something beautiful we've got
It's beautiful
And looking at these old photographs
They're beautiful
Funny thing is the most beautiful part
Is the way you flogged away at my heart
Something so perfect about the way we're not perfect
Something so similar in how we're so different
Something connecting in how we're apart
Something choking in the way that we breath
There's something about you that I just can't leave
This feeling in my stomach
It's killing me
And all these old photographs
They're killing me
Know that I'm not really dieing where I stand
It's just the way these mixed emotions make me feel
Everything is perfect but nothing is right
Everything's so typical but nothing's the same
Everything's connected while nothing's attached
Everything could have been, but nothing was
Babe, everything about you stops my heartbeat
Breathing is temporary, make it worthwhile
Get of the couch and away from that dial
Live a little and just maybe you'll feel
The feelings I wanted to make for you real
It's beautiful
And looking at these old photographs
They're beautiful
Funny thing is the most beautiful part
Is the way you flogged away at my heart
Something so perfect about the way we're not perfect
Something so similar in how we're so different

Get of the couch and away from that dial

The feelings I wanted to make for you real
Make Use of a Good Heart
I can't stop glancing at the sky, the same sky that held the stars we watched
I can't get up from here in the grass, I remember the way it felt on our backs that night
The same air is pushed by the same wind, and it blows through and around our bodies
There's no telling how you'll feel tomorrow. Is it the same way you felt back then?
Cuz I'd love to feel the feeling I felt, the feeling of you feeling my arms around you
I used to dream of this coming true, but there's no point in sleeping when life is a dream
These same brown eyes watch those same blue eyes, I look inside them and see a new hope
These same two hearts beat the same old way, I found a new meaning and reason for each beat
You have the same beauty, like a butterfly
I won't catch you, I'll see if you land in my palm
I'll never know how you felt yesterday. Is it the same way you said that you felt?
Maybe you can feel like that today and tomorrow, we can keep that feeling through forever
I'll hold onto these memories my whole life, It's in your hands until you let go
You let go
I can't get up from here in the grass, I remember the way it felt on our backs that night

Cupid's Got a Gun
Do any of these girls understand? Will any of these girls ever see? I'm not quite one to be bragging but I can be their everything and more. Girls can't make up their mind unless they choose something wrong. They don't know how to be loyal, while that's all that I know.
Left and right there's sacrafice that I commit to save myself for you. It just won't work since you'd never give up anything to be with me. You jump at the first chance to make me jealous. This jealousy's more like disappointment, so I'll find someone better.
I won't shed any more tears for something you don't care about. I'll try to mirror the way you feel. At lunch, I turn and see a girl who looks oh so much like you. But you'll never see me crying because this mirror won't get cracked. I'm not angry and I won't be heartless cause my heart still beats for you. There's some things that we must let go like you did weeks ago.
I'm not so sure of what I'm doing but I'll do it nonetheless. I'm leaving now unless you prove there's a reason to stay. You we're the reason I breath and now you choke me up. I'm not gone yet so I can suffocate if you want me to. This isn't my letter goodbye to you, beautiful. Just make up your mind and I'll make up mine.
Left and right there's sacrafice that I commit to save myself for you. It just won't work since you'd never give up anything to be with me. You jump at the first chance to make me jealous. This jealousy's more like disappointment, so I'll find someone better.

No need for woes, worries, or sorrows
Yet we still hold onto them
There must be a way to rid myself of them
I don't need to keep them company
A saving beverage to rid you of sadness
The one way to be happy without forgetting your past
Alcohol is for those overtaken by madnessI
t's no cure cuz it can never last
All it can do is make you feel bad less
But you'll feel even worse by the times it's breakfast
Before this power, we've always just had less
The drink of the gods; remedy that works fast
Nepenthe...
She turned me away so I turned away
She'll still be on my mind
Everything she does is my mistake
Hit me, I'm going down
Breath in deeply and exhaling
Gazing up at the dark night sky
I felt as if I was the one I'm failing
Just one sip and I can fly
How's my life become smooth sailing
When I pretty much just wanted to die?
Now I can let go of the railing
Its security was but a lie
Nepenthe...

Flaw So Fatal
She's suffocating, she's drowning in herself
I really wanna save her, but she wants something else
I talk to her, let's find out just who we are
Try to help her breath with my verbal CPR
She's got everything and more
What more can someone ask?
She doesn't see she's beautiful
And that's her flaw so fatal
A tragic flaw that will bring her down
She's dragging me 6-feet underground
I'm bending backwards, I know she'll break me
A mistake she made so voluntarily
It's obvious, her inner war
Its end I make my task
She doesn't know she's wonderful
And that's her flaw so fatal
I'd kindly help her inhale, exhale
The blindfold on her eyes unveil
My mind embracing around her smile
Maybe I'll see it once in a while
Her fragile heart is tore
There's no love left in the flask
Fight with words so powerful
And that's her flaw so fatal
I really wanna save her, but she wants something else
I talk to her, let's find out just who we are
Try to help her breath with my verbal CPR
She's got everything and more
What more can someone ask?
She doesn't see she's beautiful
And that's her flaw so fatal
A tragic flaw that will bring her down
She's dragging me 6-feet underground
I'm bending backwards, I know she'll break me
A mistake she made so voluntarily
It's obvious, her inner war
Its end I make my task
She doesn't know she's wonderful
And that's her flaw so fatal
I'd kindly help her inhale, exhale
The blindfold on her eyes unveil
My mind embracing around her smile
Maybe I'll see it once in a while
Her fragile heart is tore
There's no love left in the flask
Fight with words so powerful
And that's her flaw so fatal
Dreamland Lover
I watch your chest rise like bread and fall like Rome
The process continues to repeat like it's a ritual
Careful not to break this most holy habit
I hold you to the sky like a 1st place trophy
My eyes are a lake and a river flows down my cheek
It runs over the smile of a victor
I'm running backwards on the wrong side of the highway
I'm making good time trying to get to you
Hitching a ride on the windshield of a Volvo
But it's just broken bones and nothing more
The pain is harsh but you make it numb
When I see your face inside my eyelids
I look up at your house like a knight at a castle
Holding his sword to face the dragon
I hear your footsteps like a ballerina's
I'll sing you a song as you dance to the door
You turn the doorknob as I fight off butterflies
The door opens wide to the smile of a victor
We lay embracing on the couch in the light of the TV
Our eyelids fall slowly like the snow on the doorstep
As we drift off, we appear in your native land
Where everything happens according to your mind
One sould wrapped around another
I'll hold your hand, my dreamland lover
The process continues to repeat like it's a ritual

Phantasmagoric
The first time I saw you was before we met
The first time I saw you my eyes were closed
I smiled because I knew I dreamt up something wonderful
Brown hair, brown eyes
Valentine's suprise
My imagination's run wild
You're all the best things compiled
Made into something I can feel
My dreams have been proven real
I know you're not perfect, but you're perfect for me
Save me from myself
I'm not perfect either, but I want to be with you
And hold you in my arms
I know I'm not the only one, and I know I'm not the best
But I'll be here for you always, even when I need help
Brown hair, brown eyes
Valentine's suprise
My imagination's run wild
You're all the best things compiled
Made into something I can feel
My dreams have been proven real
Help my heart beat and help me breath
You already do
You're such a special part of me
I hope I can be too
Know I'll always love you, know I'll always care
Even if you dump me, I'll help you make it there
Brown hair, brown eyes
Valentine's suprise
My imagination's run wild
You're all the best things compiled
Made into something I can feel
My dreams have been proven real
The last time I saw you was the last breath I took
The last time I saw you was the last time I could see
I smile, hoping that I can see you again soon
The first time I saw you my eyes were closed
I smiled because I knew I dreamt up something wonderful

Cardiac Meltdown
Do I give up? Do I go on? Do I stay weak? Do I get strong?
Do I let go? Do I hold on? Should I love her? Should I move on?
I don't really want to answer these for myself
Death toll, choke hold, living with my heart sold
Rock'n'roll, being bold, don't do only what you're told
Fight the whole, soul is cold, watching my story unfold
When you learn to live, you learn to die
You can only crash if you learn to fly
Will it be dark? Will I find sun? Do I stay bored? Will I find fun?
Should I stay here? Should I just run? Do I use heart? Do I use gun?
I am so scared to find the answer key
Ghost town, no sound, ball and chain in which I'm bound
Going down, and around, no love lurks in the lost and found
Grinning frown, hungary hound, pain weighs in with every pound
Years we lost numbed by years we had
There'd be no good without the bad
Will I find you? Will I miss out? Will my braind shrink? Will I learn how?
If I search North, if I search South, I'll find you, I'll start now
I'll discover this myself
These questions unanswered, it gets to a point
My body is getting to where I'm going to melt
My skin is now sinking and my lungs will soon pop
I'm now a liquid, acidic and flammable
Do I let go? Do I hold on? Should I love her? Should I move on?
I don't really want to answer these for myself

Nothing
I've searched my whole life for something I need
One thing to grow on me like it came from a seed
I've looked past the lies and into their real eyes
A new bond that ties, there's something I realize
What I need, What I need, What I need is...
It's what the blind man sees and what the deaf man hears
What the dead man felt these past hundred years
It's what you know about me
I need, I need, I need... nothing
I yearned to be something I'm not
I learned to be content with what I've got
I turned to something, it feels like rot
Adjourned from consumerism, from wanting alot
What I want, what I want, what I want is...
It's what you can find in anything you come across
It's what you see even when you're at loss
It's what I wanna do right
I want, I want, I want... something
Reviewing all the good times I've been through
Our breathe is why the wind always blew
Even when things got really bad
I never took notice to what I had
What I've got, what I've got, what I've got is...
It's what I like about you, why I need some l'amore
It's what I would do for just one more day
It's what you mean to me
I've got, I've got, I've got... everything
One thing to grow on me like it came from a seed
I've looked past the lies and into their real eyes
A new bond that ties, there's something I realize
What I need, What I need, What I need is...
It's what the blind man sees and what the deaf man hears

Girl Next State
We're waiting for what's in store for who used to be the girl next door
I want to see her more but she's too far gone
And I need to know why she had to go
I couldn't tell her no and she's too far gone
She really left here, she's just one state away
From a state of memories to a state of misery
The memories were so much happier when we were making them
Now they're sad and there is no breaking them
Now you can come back home
This will always be your home
I'll leave the door open so please come on in
I'm on my way out, gonna shoot for the win
I looked into fortune's smile, I fell into its lure
But now my friend is gone, and now I'm not so sure
Your old house seems so empty, though new people moved in
And the only time I see you now is the memories within
I still walk the same path we took, pretend you're by my side
Finished the movie we began to watch, sit with tear I hide
She's gone, she's gone, she really left me
The days and nights, the plays and fights, now mean so much more
She's gone, so long, I'm really lonely
Watching skies with stars, what's mine is ours, I won't close the door
Come back home, please come back home
This will always be your home
I want to see her more but she's too far gone
And I need to know why she had to go
I couldn't tell her no and she's too far gone
She really left here, she's just one state away
From a state of memories to a state of misery
The memories were so much happier when we were making them
Now they're sad and there is no breaking them
Now you can come back home
This will always be your home
I'll leave the door open so please come on in
I'm on my way out, gonna shoot for the win
I looked into fortune's smile, I fell into its lure
But now my friend is gone, and now I'm not so sure
Your old house seems so empty, though new people moved in
And the only time I see you now is the memories within
I still walk the same path we took, pretend you're by my side
Finished the movie we began to watch, sit with tear I hide
She's gone, she's gone, she really left me
The days and nights, the plays and fights, now mean so much more
She's gone, so long, I'm really lonely
Watching skies with stars, what's mine is ours, I won't close the door
Come back home, please come back home
This will always be your home
Wiglaf
I've been faced with many dangers, friends strong at my side
I've helped so many strangers, walking with a stride
I've fought battles ranging, from monsters to their mother
But I get weaker as time's changing, depending on no other
Self-dependant, I fight my fire-breathing fate
I'm taking responsibility for what I brought upon us
I unsheath my sword of self-discipline and confront my biggest fear
And attack the deadly monster that's shaking up my world
All my friends were running and noone was at my side
Until you held your sword and fought knowing only friendship
We swung our blades and defeated the beast
But that's one hell of a way to go
Cuz the words that were once choking me up
Now leak out and let me die
I've been faced with deadly violence, you stayed by my side
You sat with me, looked on in silence, and watched me as I die
I've helped so many strangers, walking with a stride
I've fought battles ranging, from monsters to their mother
But I get weaker as time's changing, depending on no other
Self-dependant, I fight my fire-breathing fate

I unsheath my sword of self-discipline and confront my biggest fear
And attack the deadly monster that's shaking up my world

Aesthetic Hunger
Life's never been so colorful 'til you came into my life
One shade now stands in the forefront of my mind
Make me a picture sweetly with dabs of green paint
The brush is held holy in the hands of a saint
No shading, not abstract, just please keep it clear
Make me a painting that feels like you're here
Green, like all nature
So precious and calm
Hoping for a future
With your hand in my palm
Make me a picture boldly with sharpened green crayons
All I can think of is this weekend's plans
Within your art, please hide me a message
Make me a drawing to clean up this wreckage
Green, like in the rainbow
Nailed up in the sky
More than I could know
I can't even ask you why
Make me a picture softly with a new, wet green marker
You brought me sunshine when the darkness got darker
My chest feels so hollow, though I know that it's filled
Make me a masterpeice of the evil you've killed
Make me a picture, I'll write you a song

Hard To Say
I need your help but I can't tell you the problem
You wouldn't understand so I just want the solution
It hurts to hold it back, I need to tell you...I CAN'T
Breathe in, breathe out, Let's not talk about it
Hold in, shout out, We need to talk about it
Together we're just so, wait... no...
I think I love, I cant...
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you
Stop, that's not what I meant to say
Hold on, let go, Let's not talk about it
Hear me, tell me, We need to talk about it
I just wanna hold you, wait... no...
Please let me kiss, I can't...
Let's run far far far away together
Stop, that's not what I meant to say
Dream on, dream on, I keep on dreaming
Hold on, Hold on, to hold your hand
Breathe in, breathe out, I'm glad I let it out
Hold in, shout out, Now to not tell my mirror
Now to let you know
Breathe in, breathe out, hold in, shout out
Hold on, let go, hear me, tell me
Now to let you know
You wouldn't understand so I just want the solution

Now to let you know
Breathe in, breathe out, hold in, shout out
Hold on, let go, hear me, tell me
Now to let you know
Damn Right I Live For the Moment
I dodge the clock, it's a deadly weapon
I wake up late and it is today again
I recollect, my thoughts put together
If you always live for the moment, you live for forever
A lethal philosophy, I hope this starts something
I hope this gets peoples' minds going
I aim for this to change the way people live
We can now escape the tethers of tomorrow
By living for today
It seems everyone is a pin-cushion
Money and time are just two more holes in our sides
This is not how the world should be
It's not natural, why can't anyone else see?
A lethal philosophy, I hope this starts something
I hope this gets peoples' minds going
I aim for this to change the way people live
We can now escape the tethers of tomorrow
Everything you thought was wrong
If you're too weak to laugh at yourself
It makes it easier for others to do it for you
Just flex the muscles in your face
The conclusion depends on that what look

Painkiller
The walls close in as the wounds hurt
The world attacks and I eat dirt
I look ahead and then I see
A girl who helps the pain in me
When I'm knocked down, she blocks the kick
She my cure for when I'm sick
When I'm blind, she helps me turn
She's the lesson I'll never learn
She is the meaning of a true friend
She been there without end
She scribbles out the pain in me
She the way a friend should be
The burn from the tears in my eyes
She fights it down until it dies
She's the other voice on the phone
Telling me that I'm not alone
There's no way to pay her back
But to stand strong as the gun goes "crack"
I'll be her army that stands by her side
While all the others run and hide
She is the meaning of a true friend
She been there without end
She scribbles out the pain in me
She the way a friend should be
The world attacks and I eat dirt
I look ahead and then I see
A girl who helps the pain in me
When I'm knocked down, she blocks the kick
She my cure for when I'm sick
When I'm blind, she helps me turn

Breakup
"What's there to fear?" she asked. "What's there to be so afraid of?"
I wasn't quite sure so all I could say was "I think I've just had enough"
I told here "I'm just so tired of everything and I need a little bit of rest
And I'm just so scared of what's coming up next"
The phone rings and I shiver, as the earpiece is growing nearer
Caller ID makes me quiver, and my blood is running cold
The song changes the mood, even moreso than it should
The way this is isn't good. Damn, this is growing old
"Things just have changed" I told her. "I can't choose how I feel"
She wasn't quite sure what to say, just "I always thought this was real"
I sympathise until I realize that her real eyes are a trick
And I know I'm done with this here hypocrite.
Each day is repeating, suddenly my heart is bleeding
For my sake, I'm retreating, times stopped being fun
I'll still see you around, when my arms are no longer bound
We lost what we had found, I'm sorry, but I'm done
I wasn't quite sure so all I could say was "I think I've just had enough"
I told here "I'm just so tired of everything and I need a little bit of rest

[Work In Progress]
A mess of setbacks, mistakes and problems,
I'm sorry you've lived like that
Part of it scares me alot but I can deal with it,
I love everything about you
And since it's all a part of you, even in the past,
I must accept it and move on
Uneasiness can't come between the feelings for you, the only one who shows she cares
You're the only one who can raise my heart when, everyone else just puts me down
Let's go, Take me where you want
Bring it, Let's see how strong we are
Let's go, Leave the past behind
Or bring it, bring it, bring it along
The sky is bluer and I feel newer
Since the very first of you
The air is fresher and there's less pressure
I hope you feel it too
Times have proven harsh, but nothing proves unbearable
Too many seconds I've spent not with you
I'm sorry you've lived like that
Part of it scares me alot but I can deal with it,
I love everything about you
And since it's all a part of you, even in the past,
I must accept it and move on
Uneasiness can't come between the feelings for you, the only one who shows she cares
You're the only one who can raise my heart when, everyone else just puts me down
Let's go, Take me where you want
Bring it, Let's see how strong we are
Let's go, Leave the past behind
Or bring it, bring it, bring it along
The sky is bluer and I feel newer
Since the very first of you
The air is fresher and there's less pressure
I hope you feel it too
Times have proven harsh, but nothing proves unbearable
Too many seconds I've spent not with you
Dogmatic
What's with all these statements? You sound like you're so sure
You're making all these promises with intentions oh so pure
Just let me crash and burn, the heat just might be good for me
I'll burn bright, I'll burn right, I'll burn beautiful
All your words were meant for question marks
I've got an inflated ego, these things, they just poke holes
Don't worry about me, and don't be so naively dogmatic
I love you, but don't get my hopes up
For a best friend, it seems like you avoid me
But you still say things like you know me
To my mind, these things will reach
If you told me on the beach
But now I know you can't make time for me
My phone is on, I'm sitting here
And down my cheek rolls a tear
But now I know you can't make time enough for me
You can't make time for me
All your words were meant for question marks
I've got an inflated ego, these things, they just poke holes
Don't worry about me, and don't be so naively dogmatic
I love you, but don't get my hopes up
Please don't say you love me, don't speak with words too kind
Your words, they come too often, with a meaning hard to find
Meet me, learn me, know me, Just don't judge me prematurely
I'll turn it up, I'll turn it out, I won't turn on you
You're making all these promises with intentions oh so pure
Just let me crash and burn, the heat just might be good for me
I'll burn bright, I'll burn right, I'll burn beautiful
All your words were meant for question marks
I've got an inflated ego, these things, they just poke holes
Don't worry about me, and don't be so naively dogmatic
I love you, but don't get my hopes up
For a best friend, it seems like you avoid me
But you still say things like you know me
To my mind, these things will reach
If you told me on the beach
But now I know you can't make time for me
My phone is on, I'm sitting here
And down my cheek rolls a tear
But now I know you can't make time enough for me
You can't make time for me
All your words were meant for question marks
I've got an inflated ego, these things, they just poke holes
Don't worry about me, and don't be so naively dogmatic
I love you, but don't get my hopes up
Please don't say you love me, don't speak with words too kind
Your words, they come too often, with a meaning hard to find
Meet me, learn me, know me, Just don't judge me prematurely
I'll turn it up, I'll turn it out, I won't turn on you
Dearest Friend
Dearest friend, feel no pain,
He will soon be here again
Metal bars can't hold him back and you know that
Dearest friend, feel no shame,
You are not the one to blame
It was just circumstance, I hope you know that
We both know that he's fine
Take a step outside because he's out there somewhere
Take a look around you cuz he'll be here soon
Search your heart for something that will keep you happy
Til he comes back home to you
I know you're taking it hard,
It's quite understandable
I know the cops were pigs, but don't let it get to you
His cell will soon be opened,
You'll know just where to find him
Til then we'll have to wait, we'll have to wait
Holding tears never came so easy for me, but now I'll have to be strong
It's difficult to be strong for someone stronger, someone so invincible
I'd kill to make you happy, to feel that I can help
I'll tell you anything to make you feel good, anything that will sell
Cuz you're worth the effort and worth the friendship
Worth the thoughts caught up in my mind
Worth the worries and worth the hopes
But most of all, you're worth my time
He will soon be here again
Metal bars can't hold him back and you know that
Dearest friend, feel no shame,
You are not the one to blame
It was just circumstance, I hope you know that
We both know that he's fine
Take a step outside because he's out there somewhere
Take a look around you cuz he'll be here soon
Search your heart for something that will keep you happy
Til he comes back home to you
I know you're taking it hard,
It's quite understandable
I know the cops were pigs, but don't let it get to you
His cell will soon be opened,
You'll know just where to find him
Til then we'll have to wait, we'll have to wait
Holding tears never came so easy for me, but now I'll have to be strong
It's difficult to be strong for someone stronger, someone so invincible
I'd kill to make you happy, to feel that I can help
I'll tell you anything to make you feel good, anything that will sell
Cuz you're worth the effort and worth the friendship
Worth the thoughts caught up in my mind
Worth the worries and worth the hopes
But most of all, you're worth my time
What's Happening?
I feel a certain despair in the world
It crawls up from these open fields of concrete
It impedes the air as if its main objective were to conquer our lungs
It runs like a waterfall from the eyes of a widow
And it burns a whole in my heart as she knew it would
Why must humans turn their vendettas against eachother?
I can only guess that our race is one of self-destruction
I can only guess that our race is run
I can only guess that our race is done
These tears are real, thanks to those without hearts
Thanks to the way we manipulate ourselves and our safety
Thanks to the way we manipulate our "friends" and even strangers
To these and meaningless meanings, I say "no thanks"
Everyone seems to be missing that dream we all had
A dream that pushes us to be all we can be
A dream that pushes our abilities past their limits
A dream that meant something
How can he just drive off after what he's done?
How can she move on so quickly after what she said?
I thought so much better of people than this
How can I get back that optimism I recently lost?
I close my eyes as the coin is tossed
It crawls up from these open fields of concrete
It impedes the air as if its main objective were to conquer our lungs
It runs like a waterfall from the eyes of a widow
And it burns a whole in my heart as she knew it would
Why must humans turn their vendettas against eachother?
I can only guess that our race is one of self-destruction
I can only guess that our race is run
I can only guess that our race is done
These tears are real, thanks to those without hearts
Thanks to the way we manipulate ourselves and our safety
Thanks to the way we manipulate our "friends" and even strangers
To these and meaningless meanings, I say "no thanks"
Everyone seems to be missing that dream we all had
A dream that pushes us to be all we can be
A dream that pushes our abilities past their limits
A dream that meant something
How can he just drive off after what he's done?
How can she move on so quickly after what she said?
I thought so much better of people than this
How can I get back that optimism I recently lost?
I close my eyes as the coin is tossed
