All these thoughts in my mind could start a forest fire
Burn down your home with a book of matches on your eighteenth birthday
Oh well, **** me, right
I was just trying to light the cake
Oh yeah, well **** me, twice
You said we needed water, but you had to wait because I could only find ice
That's what you get for living up north
Not unlike that time you read the wrong book for your book report
Teacher gave you an F, but thanked you for trying

Its a good thing you turned me down
I can't be the burden you'll carry around
I'm heavy with feelings that I can't explain
And it takes a gentle hand to pick up shattered glass
That's much more than it'd be fair of me to ask

Up
Down
It makes no difference
Now
Then
Can you make sense of it
I'll
Do
Just almost everything
To
You
Just to feel anything

You're in denial of the truth, despite that every morning you wake up lying next to the proof. You stare it in the eyes and say this can't really be real life, I must still be dreaming of you

I won't walk anywhere with you, because I'm crawling to the end. You can get down with me if it pleases you, or you could go right on ahead

I needed some help down on the old farm, I was wondering if you could come lend me an arm. I didn't mean to scare you or cause you any harm, I just needed someone to help silence the alarm. The locks on the cages have all rusted and snapped, but the pigs are happy just to play in their crap. The horses got free, I don't think they're coming back. I don't care for the sheep though, their fleece is ***** and black. I guess I'll just let them all stay out tonight, because getting them back alone is too much of a fight

You know I could never walk away
I'm gonna stay no matter what I might say
You could **** me off to the moon
And when I return you'll still be welcome in my room

Last night I fell asleep with my lover next to me
I tossed and turned through all my many manic dreams
And I thought at least when I wake up she'll be there to comfort me
But when I opened my eyes she had become just a memory

Oh my sweetest dream, why did you not stay
Was it something I did or something I forgot to say
I don't think it's right but what can I do
I'll go back to bed I guess and try to dream of you

Johnny used to love us all, with passion for the simple things. Now he watches television and drinks beer to forget the troubles that life brings. Johnny used to have a mind, be in control, and at peace. Now he's got an aching back from holding up the world which has given him no relief.

To be your only light in life drains me of all I have to shine bright

I wish I would die tonight and maybe tomorrow I could awake to a brand new life. Maybe I'd wake up with a couple of kids, a house, and a wife. Maybe I'd wake up and not have to pretend I don't hate who I am, not have to act like I have a plan, and not have to hold my own hands over my eyes as I cry every lonely night. Maybe I'd wake up to you by my side, but in bed I hide, wide eyed and awake tonight wishing just one thing could go right. Maybe I'll die tonight and not have to wake up to this life I lie, alone with nobody but I, and the thoughts of suicide, in this room devoid of light, where I lay down my every line in my attempt to express my plight. How tired I am of this fight to fall asleep and wake up in my favorite dream, the one everyone says could be if I'd just wake up and start to believe, be the things I mean to be, create the world I want to see, but I just can't leave, the sheets are calling me and I just might stay with them one last time, and leave this fantasy behind, forget about the life that my exhausted mind won't let me find, give up the expectations that I can break this bind, let my teeth begin to grind, and find my peace under a blanket of dirt outside

I've been holding onto this for some long time now, and I believe it might be wrong. Did you know that I've been waiting, and you weren't the first to have me like that. Just like the last you always look right past all the signs I try to throw your way. Now I'm empty with nothing left to give but up, yet still I can't walk out of this place.
It seems your gravity has no hold on me when all I want is to be pulled into you
Please don't think that I wouldn't want to, but if you won't then there's nothing I can do
I have to let go
Drift off slowly
Won't you let me
Find a new star
To crash into

Jump out the window and try to fly
The worst that could happen is you crash and die
And even that wouldn't be too bad
Just try not to think of the things that make you sad
On the way down you might change your mind
But now its too late, you left second chances behind
Maybe somebody will catch you before you hit
But to be honest you really don't give a ****

Fake it, fake it, fake it
Pretend it doesn't hurt
Just let her think you're dead
Let her cover you with dirt
Fake it, fake it, fake it
Don't let that pain get through
Lay your head upon her feet
Lie to yourself like you always do
Fake it, fake it, fake it
Don't get yourself too close
And know my friend that if you do
You'll be left with just her ghost

You blame everyone for their own imperfections because you're too afraid to admit that you're terrified of your own reflection

What once was the center of so many worlds, A light for all to see, will never be forgotten as those planets still turn

A star that has gone and spent all its will to burn

I couldn't hear what you were saying
It seems that my attention is fading
The on coming lights have got me distracted
Please let that last thought be retracted
I don't want you to think that I had this speech practiced
I just wanted to say that I think we went to far
We drove ourselves crazy from the backseat of this car
Now we find ourselves stranded and out of gas
If only we remembered the mistakes we made in the past
Maybe we could have saved ourselves enough to make this trip last

The truth that I refuse to reveal
I'd rather feel pain so at least I know I'm real
I'll take my place at the tips of your feet
Kick me while I'm down, don't let me fall asleep
Should I slip into a slumber, my hopes and dreams will take me under
I'll awake in rage and confusion
Convinced to believe in this delusion
Mad enough to attempt this solution
We both know this is not a resolution

A patient heart will always take the part of the one who's ready but will wait to start, because a single mistake may make it fall apart, so it would rather be left alone with a silent ache in the dark

Nothing will go as planned until you start supplying your demand

There is no more hope, I've run out of faith. I don't want to see you, or remember the lines of your face. I've felt this before, and I know of nothing worse. I don't believe in saviors, I know I'm bound to this curse. My love is all I have, and I have so much to share. It's such a shame my friend, that you won't let me be there. I only want too much, and I know that it's a sin. There's nothing I can do, just cry as my mind endlessly spins.

I hope, that after all these years, the person you've become is happy

Does anybody else ever feel as empty as I do?
No matter what I try, be it drugs or meditation, or simple self mutilation,
I never feel like the child I was born as, not a single easy day has passed
Since I was taught that the world just doesn't care, and it'll take what you love and laugh as you suffer there

Here I lie, wide eyed and awake
Waiting to dream up my next big mistake
Your voice calls every time I fall
Asleep with the thought of you tucked into my arms
And the memory of your heart beating against my chest
So I lie, red eyed and intoxicated
Im under your spell, and the sheep have all been counted
Now if you could just join me in my room again
I need you here to silence the monsters under my bed
Should I slip into slumber, dont let me wake up again
I dont want to face the truth
I refuse to believe that this dream is dead

Is there anything left of me that you have not already hurt, a single stretch of skin where your name has not been burned?

With this, a first kiss,
we can find freedom from fear,
and bust into bliss

You've got only one life to experience everything, so take every chance offered and ignore the call of safety, telling you to do what's been done before;

"Be like all those people who grew old and bored"

Do what you want and never take no for an answer, because tomorrow you could wake up and come down with cancer

Be anything and everything that your heart desires, because your body will likely break before you are ready to expire

We should get together and talk for a minute about the weather, then bring up what we feel inside but I know we won't because we fear what we'll find. Our hearts do not confer, she loves him and I love her, and the pain inside each of us burns, and every day the world still turns, and we'll awake each morning with nothing but lessons that went unlearned. I hang on her every word, and she hangs around for him like a bird, ready to fly at a moments notice, and my attempts to approach will always be hopeless, as I get close she'll dissapear like a ghost, and we both know this and tomorrow we still won't let go, life will go on and time will flow, and no matter how slow we'll do what we can to not let it show, but soon enough one of us will have to go

Sometimes i feel so small, and so weak that i cant even hold the weight of my skin over my bones. The shaking of my skeleton rattles in my chest, making my shallow, trembling breaths sound like the ringing of the phone when i try to call you, and when you pick up is when my heart tries to skip a thousand beats, but drags itself on the ground for a thousand miles instead, bleeding and losing life every inch of the way.

When you manage to let go for just five seconds, you become five seconds more whole

I've been wasting a whole lot of time lately, as I've been pacing the rate of my heart's escaping. I've been counting the hours as they grow, slowly chasing the minutes to where I don't know

Every time I look up to the sky, the clouds fall and wash away everything but I
Nothing matters to me, except for the fears I hold and the lies that I believe
Life is such a joke, and everybody's laughing as I struggle to hold onto a shred of hope

Wedged into my ways by hammers of guilt and shame, I've buried myself beneath heavy bricks of blame

Now I hide behind my eyes with silence, blinding you to the noise inside my mind

Your disease, it will evolve
Take new shape, then dissolve
Around your world it will revolve
Its a problem you can't solve

I'm sorry that it's true, but keeping to myself is easier than keeping myself honest with you.

Ever ready to compete, if you arent first life is incomplete
Routinely changing the routine of change
Developing abilities amd enhancing our reach amd range
Dominating those who do not seek the prize, all to get ahead of those who we see with fear shrouding our eyes

Clouds look like islands, dotting the horizon, blanketing the ocean

I play dangerous games
The kind you don't forgive
Sick little scripts flow through my wrists
Taking down the host of e-motion

Heart on a string
I'm waiting at the other sides end
Pulling away
Every time it's in your open hand

Is it only a dream
Or is it a disease
Is there any relief
That these eyes will see
Madness into modern men
Regress into our children's pen
Inhale the smoke from burning desire
Choke on the fumes and fall into the pyre

I never feel alone when I'm by myself at home, but when I'm out with my friends it never wants to end

I came here to be alone
Won't you stay away
If I had came here looking
It certainly wasn't for you

I hope that he's all you need
Let him make your dreams come true
But don't let him know what makes you bleed
He might just turn and abandon you

How hard it is to like people, because no matter how hard you try they apparently just don't want to be liked

Your car got taken for a measly sum, and mine went to the flames under the winter sun, so we both lost out before our time was done, but I'm tryna tell you that it all matters none.
Because before we started this war of excommunication, and going *** for tat over every nonsensical spat, there was something golden coating what we had, but somehow we ended up throwing it in the trash, and I'd give every arm and leg that i have to get it back.
Now i know its been a while since youve heard my voice, and i apologize for the times ive stalled and all the times I've fallen apart.
You have no idea the damge thats been dealt, and you know not the extent of the heartbreak that ive felt.
I dont think i can continue,  though i swear I've prayed that I could.
And everything that we never did, I've always wished that we would.

Live for the sunrise, let every morning catch your eye
