until yesterday i though i was alone
until i saw you smile directed straight at me
hard to believe i never let it sink below
and our eyes met and all was well
and the world stopped to look behind itself
to realize our instant glow

what can be said about a girl
that makes the whole world disappear
and all that's left is all that's needed to rebuild
well build our home and shape the stones
and make it perfectly livable
all i need is your hand to set me free

these silhouettes and cardboard cut outs
walk the path that leads into my mind
but whos to say
they are welcomed to stay

for you ill exist in your thoughts and nowhere else
until you learn that when you soar and fly
you crash and burn and loose your smile

align the stars for me
and let their shining light guide me to where i need to be
then sedate me to ease the pain
that standing next to you always brings

on the phone you speak
alone
listening to the constant moan on the dial tone
the only comfort you'll ever find
is from a sound that has no mind

its 1am and i'm at home
the doors are closed and i'm just sitting
playing cards with god, he's winning
the world comes undone

i try but you fade away
my brother my sister
all forgotten to my now
you are all somewhere in my thoughts
deep down inside my heart
soon you will all disappear
but still here
to love you

its hopeless
i've had enough
the masses have passed me by and knocked me out
left alone, is there any way to heal this smile
lost the facts
the meanings
suggestions
front and back between the lines i've read
that i am and that i am nothing
with no hands to hold
and no place to lay my head

bend
watch them all decay
structured endless shame
it grabs a hold and you cant get away

hate
pretend you have it made
let go of the shame you put up every day
to mask the pain

lie
to better fit you disguise your true life
it seems you're not quite real
and dead inside

fade
you'll never be the same
hold my hand to save yourself
your not quite well, always betrayed

now i see that this place hates despite all my beliefs
even if they're few and far between
existence for me means i'm the one that choses when
pull the trigger, a trigger to an end

my world decides to bend and i will never know if i will ever find myself
its not yet time, but please don't take too long
know that this place has nothing for us
life goes on
life goes on
