Where you off to with that head of yours
Is there somewhere you should be
Was it something that I said the time I held you down
And told you it's not you, it's only me, baby

Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
You'll see

What you up to now your mirrors gone

It was meant to be
but all along it never meant a thing
never stopped to ask you why
you didn't pass me by
did you see me in your life
flash before your eyes
was it just that i wasn't hard enough,
hard enough for you

Stop using my
confusion
wait, wait

there's a world out there
Don't you deny me
give me one last wish
theres a world out there

elementary
i solved them all

Seems like only yesterday
Life belonged to runaways
Nothing here to see, no looking back
Every sound monotone
Every color monochrome
Life began to fade into the black

Such a simple animal
Sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymore
Desperate meaningless
All filled up with emptiness
Felt like everything was said and done

I lay there in the dark when I close my eyes

Attention, pay attention
No mention, a sick history
O misson, an admission
Ignition, detonate

Oh no don't talk about talk it
No please don't talk about it
Oh no don't talk about talk it
Not one more word about it
Oh no don't think about it
No please don't think about it
Oh please don't think about it
It goes away

Who made these promises?
You made these promises
Erase (Erase!)

Wish I were with you but I couldn't stay
Every direction leads me away
Pray for tomorrow but for today all I want is to be home

Stand in the mirror
You look the same
Just looking for shelter from the cold and the pain
Some want cover
Safe from the rain and all I want is to be home

Echoes and silence
Patience and grace
All of these moments I'll never replace
Fear of my heart

A heart of gold
But it lost it's pride
Beautiful veins
And bloodshot eyes
I see your face
In another light

Why'd you have to go
And let it die
Why'd you have to go
And let it die
Why'd you have to go
And let it die
In too deep
And out of time
Why'd you have to go
And let it die

A simple man
And his blushing bride
(Why'd you have to go And let it die)
Intravenous
Intertwined

Hey now dont make a sound say have you heard the news today?
One flag was taken down, to raise another in its place
A heavy cross you bare, a stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love, no stranger singing in your name

It may be the season, the colors change in the valleys skies
Dear God I've sealed my fate, running through hell, heaven can wait

You and I were two old and tortured souls
Repaired by a love of broken things
In a life, just some bodies growing old
No fear of the end, of anything

We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually

We got by, though we never needed much
A sliver of hope, no diamond rings
We got high, it was heaven it was hell
Flying over them, with broken wings

Goddamn this dusty room
This hazy afternoon
I'm breathing in this silence
Like never before

This feeling that I get
This one last cigarette
As I lay awake
And wait for you to come through the door

Oh maybe maybe maybe
I can share it with you
I behave I behave I behave
So I can share it with you

You are not alone
Dear loneliness
You forgot
But I remember this

Early morning without warning
woke me with a scare
i had that dream again
that the sun was dead
make me warm or take me home
its so cold in here
cant we meet somewhere
is it winter there
is it winter there
this winter

meet me in the summer time
we can know the end
sweet Virginia countryside
I will meet you there
Blood and lips and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones come marching in again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready, are you ready?

I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance that whole defense
Spinning infinity, but the wheel is spinning me
It's never ending, never ending
