Twist around as the sun drowns
Stick pills in your mouth and go to bed
We're not doing this again
We ain't got the time
You keep me locked up in your broken mind
And I keep searching never to find
A light behind your eyes
You keep living in your own lies
Keeping me guessing, keeping me terrified
Lock me in, knock me out talking like you do
You can't exist within your own head
So you insist on haunting mine
You take everything from my world then
Say, "Please help me?" right before you fall again
Keep me dumb, keep me paralyzed and I wonder why...
Why keep swimming when I'm drowning?
You're not the saint you externalize to be and
You spit out the hateful
Using your words formed as weapons against me.

I've been here so many times
Doing all the time while you are
Committing the crimes
Of passion and lust
Watching you work
Yourself ashes to ashes and
Dust to dust
Your love might be my damnation
And ill cry to my grave
Holding on to someone I hardly really know
Cool as they come one day and a hot mess the next
All the late nights and phenomenal ***
All the ***** and cigarettes
Haunting my thoughts consuming all my days
Always craving more, giving until I have  nothing left to give away
You cry out for me to save you and I always try my best
Holding you up until I collapse

You Bleed me dry of every ounce of strength and
Leave me with no absolutes only hurt
This chip on your shoulder we call bipolar
Feels like the weight of the world
Only way to face it is to muster up all your courage  

The tone in your voice always changes
Sometimes you sound just like a stranger
You load up your questions and pick up all your sticks and your stones so
I can be your shelter for heartaches that don't have a home
Use the words that cut to the bone
Im no longer afraid when you rare back and take aim
I'll be the target for all your hearts pain

Wish I could say I've never been here before but we both know
I'll always come back for more
I must find comfort in all the hurting
You **** me dry then leave me wondering
Did I really even save you at all or am I just a bandage for the worst that's yet to come
You act like a fool but I am the fool in this game called doing what lovers do
Im your enemy and your ally,
You're everything until something more important comes your way

But let me tell you something,
No true love ever came from money and power
No family was ever built on working so many hours
Friendship doesn't blossom from one sided conversations
Trust isn't earned from faking a happy face
Respect isn't given when you only take away

The aftermath leaves my soul broken on the floor with no where to escape
In this broken home

Thoughts erupt in the night
calling me and it's daring
To relive those days when
I miss your smile, I miss your eyes,
And now we're out of time
What would it take for you to look at me like you used to
because you don't anymore

The clock strikes two and I'm longing for you
Where have you gone?
I'm staring at the phone so alone
With my heart beating on its own

I think I'll always love you,
No,
I know I'll always love you

The clock strikes three
It's too late for me
Well, it hurts so bad this time
Staring at the phone all I know
Is that is what I hold

The clock strikes four
I can't take anymore
It feels so real this time
Staring at the phone all it brings
Are tears but then rings

And when we finally say "hello"
It brings me back to all I know
I'm sorry love, I'm coming home

Where I can hear you breathe
Back to what I need
You,
Because your heart is home to me

My mind is fading
As I cast my tears to the wind and watch it all fall apart
I'm front and center to the execution of my own heart
should of seen it coming so I could play into the part
Instead of hiding under the covers and throwing hope to the stars and making a last wish
I've got a smile like a lashed whip, slashed open with our last kiss
Lover with a dagger in these cracked ribs                                          
You laugh
Because nobody questions the clown until the paint washes off
Picking shattered pieces of the crown out of the holes left whittled in my brow
When it all finally broke open, left me out of reach, with a mouth full of love songs scratching at my teeth
Get back on my feet, and stop acting like I never had a chance to be free
Break me out of here
I'm freezing
Wrapped in these chains made of fear
  I'm fading
In this rain made of tears
Tragedy, is like a drug stuck into the veins of my two-faced love
Day dreaming about your face, and when I'll pass that lit torch with the blue flame up
With a cross to bare, heavy with my black lung breathing, stuck
No power to the last one leaving, all these cracked words leaking out of my mouth
Now leaving a blank slate looking for peace, and all I wanted was a hide out
A nice place to learn how to lie down and die when the time doesn't fly
I should have learned by now that time doesn't slide in the direction of these tears pouring out of my eyes
I should have seen it, or felt it, traced its body with a felt tip pen, and glued its image onto myself
They should of told me its closer to a heavenly hell
Instead of forcing me to smile when all the breath in me fails
I'm just a prisoner now

I saw you alone in the garden, I wanted you so much
You were different and rare, I couldn't get enough
I tried to save you from yourself,
I felt every high and low
But now the lows have drowned out the highs,
And there's nowhere else for me to go
your thorns are cutting into me as
I watch your petals wilt away,
And I can't bring you back to life
Black Rose
You were always where the sun could never go,
I never wanted you to have to be alone
But I couldn't find a way to help you grow because
You never tell me how you feel and your moods, they always change
I really tried to make it real but you never had the faith
I tried to give you something good to take away your pain
I tried to make you understand that it don't have to be this way
Black Rose
You are who you are
All that you've been put through couldn't be repaired
I couldn't break through, too far apart now
I'm the one who's hurt, but I'm the only one who cares
You need someone to turn to
And I'm no longer there
I can't bring you back to life
Black Rose
Every time I held you I knew that it would hurt but
Only through the pain could I find a way to learn
So wilt away, I can't bring you back to me now,
Because you've never seen the garden of Eden
Only the garden of bleeding,
Where your roots maybe ***** but your petals remain pretty
Black Rose

So you think you're my savior
Trying to save me
From all that you think
I don't know
But you do
You just know it all
And that makes you
Some kind of a God
As you worship your
disease
And all that it brings you
Art is your muse
Magic your obsession
You like to judge and accuse
Like you have the right to
Sitting upon your throne
Of everything you think
You know

This is the first
Rush of infatuation
But for romance
to be successful
you have to love a
person's flaws as
well as their imperfections
Romance fades
Infatuation doesn't last
The idea of what you think
love is
keeps you hanging onto
the past
The what was
And could have beens
**** with you head
Wanting so bad
for love to be true
But I'm afraid
it's all just idealistic
And never comes true
