Inside your arctic chest.
You know that,
I'm not the only one,
Frozen with bitter breath.
A shard of ice for a heart,
Every time you inhale,
You impale your own lungs,
Every time that you speak
You frostbite your tongue.
Every time that you think,
You write yourself off.
Don't think this my way,
Of seeking revenge.
I'm just informing the masses,
So I can break even.

I've planned our dialogue,
I've planned my actions,
In this scene,
I'll reap an advantage.
You scream, "for once, just tell the truth!"
I can lie to your face,
but I can't lie to myself.

At heart,
I'm just a liar,
And I get by,
My only truth is,
I don't lose an ounce of sleep at night.
You scream, "for once, just tell the truth!"
I can lie to your face,
but I can't lie to myself.

Inside each torrid breath,
You know that I'm not the one,
Still beating a boiling chest.
Now charred.
The ice has all gone.
And all that is left, is the taste of your heartburn.

You cough and there's smoke.
Your "Sweltering Choke"
And I won't ever give it away, this
My best attempt at my belated offense.
But now?
You're coming clean now?
Well I couldn't care any less about how
You extend hypocritical apologies.
The truth: you never really meant **** to me.

This was just the stanza,
This was just the line.
This was just the song for the girl, by the guy.
This was just the stanza,
This was just the line,
You were just a girl, I was just a boy.

Oh,
That was the first time,
I'd ever been so nervous and excited,
All at the same moment.
All at the same moment.
And oh that was the first time,
I'd ever wrote a song about a girl,
With eyes that are
Half as bright as yours are.
Half as bright as yours are.

And all I really know
Is I just wanna be the guy you,
Turn to when your world is on fire.
And all I really know,
Is something I've got to tell you,
You never leave my thoughts when I'm not around you.

And I won't give up,
Because I know that I won't,
Get a chance like this for another lifetime.
And I won't give up,
Until I've tried my hardest.
In times like this,
Failures not an option.
I'm looking at,
Exactly what I've always wanted.

"What's wrong with that boy walking slowly through town?"
"He fell in love with a pyro,
And she burned his house down."
I'm made of paper, pages and stanzas.
A love fueled by lighters, kerosene and match sticks.

And all I really know
Is I just wanna be the guy you,
Turn to when your world is on fire.
And all I really know,
Is something I've got to tell you,
You never leave my thoughts when I'm not around you.

If you're wondering who I am,
Or whats my story,
I'm just your average guy,
Who drinks ****** black coffee.

I'm falling into the natural pulse,
An innate tempo which everything falls.
Perfectly into place.
Exactly as it was meant to be.

I've discovered the spy,
The army will attack in my sleep.
I don't know how much longer,
I can stay awake.

They always said "it's more afraid of you then you are of it."
My last gasp of breath all I could do was yell "*******!"

Yikes!
This is the worst feeling ever.
I feel like,
They're crawling all over me,
I've been violated!

So you die a slow and painful death.
Thrown to the ground, burned at the tip.
Of a sharpened pin held to flame,
Until it glowed and was ****** inside of your body.

Buried at sea, into a bottomless hole.
Never to wake, soon to be forgotten.

Your a parasite. That's all you are.
And your host thinks you've overstayed your welcome

For three hours a day I'm a physical being.
A tool to move things from point a to point b.

For seven hours a day I wear a robot costume,
With a preset smile and ****** expression.

For two hours a day I become the man,
I never had the time to understand.

None of these things make any sense.
Why is it called "my life" if I live it for them?

As I walk into my alternative,
I see something thats too bright to miss.
But like usual,
It's safer to stay in the dark.
As you sit down and hope I talk to you,
I stand up and i quickly move.
I'm shaking way too much to catch my breath.
But you turn to me, first instead.

And as I walk away from the place we met,
Again our paths they intersect.
We still go there,
10 months by.
As you pass me I begin to smile.
Though I,
Can't belive i missed my chance.
My opportunity's not comming back.

Once precious moments are now just a nuicance.
We used to hang out, now i just make paintings.
