We want things we can not have
We wish for dreams that are ripped in half
We desire love and attention
We need compassion

Too little time to spend
And not enough endings in the end
The perfect amount of tears in our eyes
But too many goodbyes

Never finding true happiness
Stumbling upon accidental love
Almost reaching the wings of a dove
Always finding things we don't desire

Holding onto things that left such a long time ago
Wanting to follow the way the wind blows
Not enough time to chase rainbows
And too much time worrying about when our life goes

We'll sink into the the cracks of the Earth
Waiting, and waiting for rebirth
Another time to worry about when time ends
Another heart to mend....
I can't breathe, the dirt is filling my lungs
Trying to scream out the lies of their tongues
No one hears, and no one cares
All they give is glances and sad stares

Pierced hearts and missing eyes
Thinkin' they won a prize
Saying good-byes with no tears to be seen
They say they don't remember
But I know they do
Skin is turning blue

My life is fading
Never dealt with this kind of aching
Spine broke in half and neck snapped
And now I'm trapped.

I'm running out of air
Take me to place of bare love and tear
Can someone help me?
I can't seem to find where my heart once lied  
And I keep going on a loop of the empty bride
My mind on a rotten evergreen track
But no one can take me back

I'm just traveling along the side
Living on the day where everyone cried
Lost and confused, don't know where to turn to
Nothing I've ever knew

Can someone help us?
We're confused about all of this fuss
Separated cries, can someone dry our eyes?
We don't know where our hearts once lied
All alone, nothing to live for
Surrounded, and can't reach the door
Step over the line
But apparently I'm fine
Hidden bandages and countless lies
Putting on the same thing everyone hides

Gripping onto hope
But going crazy trying to cope
Screaming for someone to help
But the help never comes
Scratched eyes and bleeding gums
The craziness has only begun

Where is everyone who said they'd be here?
I can't face this fear
Where are they now?
Nobody wants to help me now
They're letting me take the bow

All alone, no where to run.
I'm drunk on ***** and ***
No where to go
I go alone...
Empty hearts in crowded bars
Teary eyes chasing cars
Drinking life away
Trying to remember a time when the sky wasn't gray

Dead fingertips with a tight grip
Teardrops that don't drip
A smile covered in tear stains
Blood that doesn't run through veins

Just one more time
Darkness in daytime
One last breath
Didn't know that it would end in death
Too many voices in my head
Too much silence while laying in my bed.
Never open my mouth, but I say a million words
Dying only to be called a coward

Buried 6 feet under ground
But I can still hear every sound
All the words you used to hurt me
Won't let me break free

I'll arrive at night dressed in all white
I'll be ready to fight
And I don't know if I will survive
I just know that I have to win this fight.

I've got to fight the demons that are inside of me!
Your grip is a bit too tight
But you know that I don't wanna fight
You tell me that you love me
But that's not what I see
I'm *******, no way to escape
And you're bent all out of shape

If you love me, won't you let me go?
Because I'm tired of living on death row
Rip the tape off my lips
And remove all of the grips
Take the burning off my hips
Please, let me go

If you love me, you will let me go.
