Hollow things should seem wrong You haven't minded them Since you realized everything Inside of you that mattered Had long since disappeared You revel in empty parking garages You can scream and scream And it echoes on without consequence You always thought you were more like An empty parking garage No one cared much to stay and shout with you {NR}

I Cant Remember What my Heartbeat Sounded Like
You wake up in the morning With dust on your pillow From the nothing that goes through your head Trying not to remember The hurricane That ravaged your mind And the reason We don't speak anymore

You Never Did Like The Rain
You're just another habit That I need to break I've gotten in too deep, Oh what a mistake I tell myself It's different When know I'm the same And I'm sick of your breathing Like a drug to my mind I'll get you out One day at a time {NR}

But Not Tonight
Do you drown at the thought Of finally being happy Because its been so long Since you've seen the world in color Spring doesnt seem to come around anymore Your sky is gray, gray, gray And flat, like the curve of your mouth And whenever you try To play piano like you used to The keys all sound out of tune But you've gotten used to them Wrong seems normal And being happy scares you {NR}

Your World Remains in Black and White
And the thought of you razor in hand tears on your face and blood down your arms Breaks my heart I don't want you to feel alone because listen to me: You never are your demons lock you in keeping everyone else out but we're pounding at the door screaming "I love you" Wishing we could find a key Wishing you could hear us You are never alone you only think you are please don't let your mind be your downfall {NR}

Locked Rooms Harbor Dark Thoughts
I destroy myself with every word That falls from your lips The blood spilling over your chin Once dripping, now gushing The handprint outlined on my cheek (That matches perfectly with your hand) Stings less than what you tell me And i believe im not better off alone Because at least you tell me the truth {NR}

Tell Me Goodnight So I Won't Have To See You
I broke the window I didn't want anything shielding me from reality I'd rather face it head on I felt the cold wind on my skin as I slept The heat on my toes in the afternoon I remembered how I used to watch the wind and rain Beating upon the glass And I would look at the way the sunlight streamed through I still can't decide which I prefer: Feeling life's beauties and pains Or watching them while I hide away. {NR}

Feeling Is A Touchy Subject
I set everything on fire that reminded me of you All that's left is to burn myself I never knew what Hell felt like until your arms wrapped around me And I felt your breath on my ear As you whispered every word I heard you say to her I got chills when you looked at me, but the kind that felt like spiders crawling under my skin My heart stopped in a way reminiscent of a car crash I guess thats really what you were You almost took me to where I wanted to go before sending me headfirst through the windshield into the debris You walked alway, unfazed and unharmed you looked back at me And took her in your arms {NR}

Accidents Could Easily Be Avoided, But That Wasn't Your Intention
It's one of those nights I'm unwilling to turn off the light I won't look under my bed I can barely open my eyes I'll stack up the pillows beside me And wish that it was you instead Every noise makes my heart stop Thoughts running wild in my head I have to focus just to breathe right Wishing I didn't have to breathe at all I know in the morning that I'll be fine but for now {NR}

Don't Ask For an Answer If You Dont Finish the Question
They say my youth is what I’ll look back on The memories I’ve made Fondly remembering Those daring escapades But what if I spend all this time Trying to get out Wishing either forward or back- Just wanting to get out Then when I am aging quick My hair, turning gray Then when I reminisce I wonder what I’ll say {NR}

Probably Nothing Good
