Perish The Thought
don't wait up for me
i can't think straight
this time please don't freeze
just run from focus til i can't see
why am i the one
resenting everyone i love
don't wanna fake another smile
don't ever want to see you move on
CHORUS
why is it everything is all the same
even through all the fame
i stand beside myself inside of a joke
even when i admit to take the blame
and tarnish my own name
the guilt inside me causes myself to choke
all these dreams in me
achieved but still i don't feel complete
all alone somehow
this time there's nothing stopping me now
i'll reach my arms outside the windows
catching any breath i can
i'll need the strength to lie about
my perfect promised land
these words embodying them all
as herds of dolls before the fall
caked up in makeup
tracing circles in the sky until i call
coming to my senses
losing all i never had
i'm burning each and every photograph
to keep from looking bad
saving faces i've forgotten
save my own face, no exception
frame them safely, fake a smile
and say goodbye to my reflection |
Failsafe
All this time I was told I was always wrong.
Set to fail in this "life" if that's what it's called.
It didn't have to be this way.
But I was so naive and bought into those games.
Now it's time to take back my world.
Rip away all the pain that I've endured.
Right now.
I'll fight.
I will prevail.
Now it's time to make good on all those things I've said.
Turn this around make it worth the tears I have shed.
I shout.
I scream.
Let me follow my dreams.
I know that it's my time to replace
All the hopes I have wasted away.
My eyes now look to tomorrow.
I will not let my goals be swallowed in
A world where there is no life.
I'll rip away all the walls that have sufficed
This pain in my heart.
It will die tonight.
Even though my soul will still be scarred
I will take this pain and tear it apart.
I'll be reborn.
A new me, unscorn.
And when I finally return.
I will be your only one.
I will take your pain away.
We will see the setting sun.
I will pick up the pieces of your shattered dreams.
I will tear down the walls so you can finally see.
I will open your heart so there is room for me.
I will restore your faith so you can start to believe.
To begin again and take the pain away.
We can wake up now to see another day.
Inside we'll end this tragedy.
It will never be this way again.
Now it's time for you to depend on me
and when the sky turns black and all the rain pours down.
I will keep you close,
A safer place will be found.
Cause one day the bluest skies will emerge
And all the hurt within you will be purged.
Right now I will take away all this pain.
Right now I will take away all this pain. |
Of Love And Death
pretend, just let me sleep again
i'm losing confidence with consciousness i need to begin
i don't know why, well just look under my eyes
through the REM into a dream where i could save you again
and i feel so cursed with this long life
because i wanna goto heaven but i don't wanna die
i close my eyes just to kill some time
escape eternity and exit anywhere that i like
CHORUS
and the screams might seem like they're coming from someplace inside
i hide within my body alive
when i die don't let them bury me, i'll never survive
just leave a trace of me as debris
to leave my mark on this place in case i still can't see
i lied when i said i never tried
when i die don't let them bury me, i'll never survive
set free, now i'm just by myself
there's no use for good health when i'm trapped here without you
i swell like an ocean inside
when you died you didn't stop me from..
you didn't stop me in time
i'll throw my fist deep within the beach
but the heart of the earth is too far out of reach
tearing graves in the sand in the shape of my veins
i lay down as i drown while the blood comes in waves |
