I asked you Where you went You said you're off In the steeple I asked you What you meant? You sang I've gotta, Save these people I am the moon We are the stars We are the ships That go, far I sang a lullaby With words we don't remember You sang all your goodbyes Wasn't even winter We sang, We are the suns We are the stars We are the ship, That goes far I sang of your melodies You always sung so sweet Some dreams we don't wake up, The others we wind up deceased.

Winter
I know my name I've seen my face I've lived the same I've ****** with fate Some bastard's song Some blind man's faith I know how you want it You want it the way, Wanted the wait, Wanted the way, Wanted the weight There you go again Changing if to when Said you'd fallen through, Once again, once again Quit it you know, What you've got Lot of weight Lot of wait.

Wait.
The secret to life is when you realize that you are statistically insignificant. Just like everyone else. There is no big bang, secret plan, end game goal. Only you can care for your wealth. It would be a disaster to act like at the end of it you get a token, "Great job at life." no one will tell. Keep your head down, or up for the matter, it doesn't matter. If no one is watching, this isn't stealth.

I know, You know Your way around This town here I hope, You don't Try to be Something special here A cacophony, Of 4/4 Nothing's upbeat here No magic, No slight of hand Can be seen here. And you know, Better than to be something special here.

Something Special
I keep waiting on my dream girl to wake up. Shake off this **** and get out of this town. I bet you prey on us just to starve to death, I bet you pray for this just to starve. Angels can't fly when it storms like this. No angels can fly when this storm hits. Thunder will shake those wings right off God can't be as miserable as you are cold. Keep sleeping, don't dare forget to breathe Can't miss a second with those eyes clinched so tight. I'll just leave if you'd rather go through this hell alone.

If it's easier to go through Hell alone.
I sit here thinking I sit here while slowly sinking Wanting to not be here Wanting to be just some other place in general Cliche, the words are true I am thinking of you I imagine us in the park Hanging out, after dark Just being around you for a while Just seeing that haphazard smile This as it may seem Is just a reward one has to dream But alas, nothing gets amassed, I cannot have it yet, or at least not once this hour has passed. For you think yourself to be a demon or queen, most likely in between, So treat the last few minutes as nothing.

Thinking
Sing a sad song about a place that never existed And twist it to suit yourself Dream about a time You barely missed and be bad to your health Cause she'll only be here once And you've tried to hard To take this lighthearted and not give her your card Nothing truly crosses over It gets stuck some place in the fray But if I have to choose between the both I'd lose your business in the gray.

Not give her your card
If I could I would Sail to the end of the earth And I I would Never step foot on an ounce of dirt For what it's worth You were the birth of my soul I don't know No control, got nothing left but hopes I know I've got No plans tonight If you're alive won't you stop this Make it right If I could I would Stop the earth Stop motion Figure 8 The tapes stuck in reverse It would be something new It would be Something burned I learned we take turns To turn back into dirt

I swear nothing else will do make me believe it's true I swear I do I lie I lie I lied to you Fall sends me to the edge Wake me when this winter ends make a mask with all this fraud stop blaming your **** god I've got friends too I will fake amends While i make this mess I'll come out of this clean as you Let snow pour down Oh yeah you're pure now Another cliche you know isn't true Fall sends me to the edge Wake me when this winter ends Make a mask with all this fraud Stop blaming your **** god I've got friends too

Yr **** God
I hope you like What you've become Another holiday I won't go I know everyone there is a fraud That's why you get along I know I love what I've become The same **** thing as before If I waste my time here Do you waste yours too? If I waste my life here Do you waste yours too Stop and listen to yourself I bet you love your voice anyway From the way you talk so cheap I bet you don't remember me I'm standing right here Are you really that god **** blind From the way you talk so cheap Just another holiday that will never be. I know I love what I've become The same **** thing as before
