Skyline of Your Mind
02:32
|
|||
When you wake up in the morning
And you open your eyes wide
Do you feel like driving far away
And leaving me behind?
Taking time to rearrange
And organize your mind
Life is like a ticking clock!
And we’re running out of time!
“Cause you know we’re burning bright!
Up until the morning light!
And you know we’ll be just fine
When we’re dancing at midnight
Let’s just love and live our lives
And you know we’ll feel alright!”
You feel like you’re not yourself
You’re dead on the inside
These things they won’t fix themselves
First you gotta try…
And can you pay the hospital bill!?
If you attempt suicide!?
"This life is rather beautiful!
Just OPEN UP YOUR MIND!"
You say everything’s okay!
But I know that it’s a lie!
The clouds haven’t rained harder!
In the skyline of your mind!
But like the sky clouds fade away!
And there will be beautiful sunshine!
Then we can laugh and sing all day!
Yeah! LET’S JUST UNWIND!
We’ll feel alright!
WE’RE BURNING BRIGHT!!!!

Time-Bomb

I’ll say what you want me to say
Just don’t cry, I need your eyes clear
I’ll be what you need me to be
Just don’t leave, don’t leave me behind!
But you threw it all away!
For some boy with a better name!
He won’t understand what I did!
You threw away the best you could get!
You couldn’t tell!
The difference with the lights off!
You’re tick, tick, tickin’ like a time-bomb!
In love! But you don’t know what love is!
Is this, this, this
Really what you wanted?
Now you cry nearly every night
You can’t sleep because your thoughts are too loud!
You’ll see what you needed to see
And you’ll end up coming back to me!
And I’ll say you made it this way!
You turned our two years into wasted days!
Believe me I never wanted this!
I’d give my life away for just one last kiss!
Really what you wanted? Is this, this, this really what you wanted?
I couldn't tell!
The difference with the lights off!
I'm tick, tick, tickin like a Time-Bomb!
Out of love, but I don't know What! Love! is?
Is this, this, this really what we wanted?

She, pushed, me against the wall but, I felt sick
You know, I, can’t really forget the lines
Sean said, “You can let your love flow here!”
I don’t know why he brought me here:
In a dirty bathroom with no lights
I yelled “is everyone here?” then someone threw a chair
Against, against, against against the wall!
Then, Tom drank all of the beer
He’s gotta move, gotta drink, gotta dance yeah!
But, now, everyone is pissed…
And you’ve made an impression on me
I made an impression on you
But we don’t mind
Cause you left a bruise on me
I left a bruise on you
But we feel fine
You use an analogue clock, but you always talk!
Like it’s military time
My teacher never liked my tight pants said Pangaea was a continent
And how it used to be combined
But later, we all drank some jäger bombs
And we all had a good night
Then you comment that I’m shit
We shoot, we miss, we ball our fists and then we have
A great goddamn time!
Cause we’ve made an impression on them
They’ve made an impression on we
...I don’t think that English is right.
And I’ll never forget this night
When things all felt alright
Let’s take one more shot!

Wonder Years
03:27
|

Said the way I do things wasn't good enough
When I drink you said I act too drunk
Wag of the finger, please talk down to me
We're breeding animosity…
Am I the way you want me? Whoa-oh!
Is this all I should be? Oh no!
Is this the way you want me?
You got in my head,
Found all my hope's and fears
And I started to trash!
Everything that I once held dear so
I'll move away, I'll grow a beard
I'll pick a more stable career
I swear I won't shed a single tear!
I'll throw away my wonder years…
I’ll stop making music!
If it’s what you really want
Or kill my self respect,
Start writin sing-a-along’s!
Anything to please your ears, my love
But how much of me will be enough!?
I'm not the way you want me.. whoa
I'm just all I can be… oh-oh
That should be all you need…
Yeah, that should be all you need….

My heart it used to beat, at the slightest sight
Of your lovely eyes, they shone green and bright
But I made a mistake, I wanted him for life
I’m a goddamn fool, I gave it up last night
Now these days they taste like poison!
I can still hear his voice in
The back of my mind, says
“That’s not the you I know!”
Well you’re right when you’re right
That wasn’t me I swear
I was working things out
Now they can’t be repaired!
Oh, how I will lie awake
Listen to me, sweet lover I lost
Miss your lips, how they would taste
Know I can’t breath, you’re an angel to me
I spent these weeks in my head
Living inside your bed
Wishing you would call
Me, to come back
Home, it’s inside my arms
They’ll keep you safe from harm
All I need is to hear you say to
Me, “This all worked out wrong
I know where I belong
I love you more than
The moon loves the sky.”
Do you talk about me when I'm not around?
Do you still love me? Or is it snuffed out?
Is your heart like mine? Still making this sound?
When you see my lips moving? Do they make a sound?
Am I on your mind? God I hope that I am
Maybe I can get back to you before someone else can
I’ll remember you fondly as the love that I drowned
There's nothing left of me that's not been hollowed out...
Oh, how I will lie awake
Listen to me, sweet lover I lost
Miss your lips, how they would taste
No, I can’t breath. You’re an angel, Toby
Oh, how my heart begs and aches
Come back to me, sweet lover I lost
I miss your fingers, your sweet face
You'll always be, an angel to me...

Barfing Black
03:25
|
|||
We spent the whole night naked
Playing ‘I’ve Never’ on a cheap motel room couch
And the game soon turned to arguing
As my stomach turned inside out
And I spent the next morning in Chicago traffic
Puking in an empty cheeto bag
And I’m honestly surprised
You still found me attractive after that
Still found me attractive after that...
Please God, help me, I don’t know what I’m doing!
Heaven knows I’m giving all that I can!
I’ll talk myself up, cut my heart out!
Is this really what love’s all about?
When I’m barfing black…
WHEN I’M BARFING BLACK!
You don’t like it when I say your last name
I think it’s because you hate your dad
Your favourite artist is Francis Bacon
But all his paintings make me sad
And my political views make him angry
He thinks all my music is crap
And he don’t like repetition, no he don’t like repetition! NO HE DON’T LIKE REPETITION!
Oh, my bad.
Cause god forbid, I have an opinion!
Heavens no, I’m having a good time!
Gotta talk me down, gotta sell me out!
Is there nothing else to talk about?
When I’m barfing black…
When I’m barfing black…
WHEN I’M BARFING BLACK

Oh! Say hello, to this Future Alone!
Where we both swallowed sleep and
Made love through our phones
Cause I still remember fondly
Days spent in your room…
Was it something worth recalling?
Cause no one ever will come close!
To the way you stab me in the throat!
Cause somethin, Tells me you won't come around!
To hold me under till I drown
But I can spot you in a crowd
And love you in my sleep!
Cause the distance is awfully convenient
My love,
Does it substitute trying too hard…?
Can we break this cycle? Figure it out!?
This back and forth for four years now!
Are you at my throat or in the cheering crowd?
Oh God, I wanna scream!
Nothing ever will come close!
To the way you let me decompose
Cause somethin, Tells me we won't kiss again
You refer to me as a "dear friend"
We both became part of the trend
Of throwing it all away!

Blush
02:38
|

You kill yourself with thinking on the ride home
Would rather be in your room alone
Left me to walk on the railways
Well you know I’ll be waiting for the train
By this time I realise I blew it
Messed up big time and I knew it
Got bruises all over my chest now
I took my words and I spit them out!
And I regret what I did that day,
I broke your heart and scared you away!
In time I’ll fix my mistakes
Just please don’t, no never, don't ever turn away!
Don’t turn away!
We both need some space to grow
Drown out the screaming in your head
We both are blacking out in bathrooms
What lead to this, no one knows!
I just want you to be safe!
Have a place to sleep where you’ll be O.K.
I’ll take these memories and take them to the grave!
Why must things be this way?
The faded lights, the hurtful names
You cry when you’re on your own, it never ends!
We know how it feels to be alone again!
We may have broke down
But we didn’t give up,
Left town for Chicago and you didn’t come back
Now I’m stuck here waiting for a guiding light
I just want to hear your voice again
Because this cold silence is making me sick
Left paralyzed from your poison kiss
Dreaming of a day of happiness
I don’t have a reason to get dressed
I’m sure you’ve moved on in a rush
Found a new guy to make you…
BLUSH!

Fake Affection
05:28
|
|||
We went back and forth
Exchanging empty words and compliments
Over cheap drinks in your apartment
We both know this is meaningless,
Nothing permanent, fleeting at best
One more night of fake affection…
And I’ll wait it out!
All by myself!
And I’ll scream and shout!
Till my breath escapes my lungs!
So obsessed with obsession
You ask my name, there will be no answer
No one asks that, question anymore
You’ll leave me here to wonder
If there’s a single heart worn on a sleeve
That wishes they could meet…
Someone real!
No more motives or false smiles
Someone who could stick around a while
Not leave before the sun begins to shine…
All I want from this is to mean something to someone real
Instead of feeling worthless …
Don’t throw me away!
I’ll wait it out
All by myself
And I’ll weigh the pro’s and con’s
Until I find a reason to live!
And I’ll scream and shout!
Till my breath escapes my lungs!
All these words stuck in my mouth!
Are destroying all I have left!
Throw it all away!
[OUTRO]
We feel we’re at the edge
What do broken hearts say? What can we deduct?
There's hell in those stars
What I want from this, is not what you’ve ever wanted
A sad, hopelessness in knowing
That I’ll say your name
And you won't answer
With anything but one word, forever echoing in THE end….
On and on until eternity beckons
“Goodbye”

Simple Things
04:18
|
|||
We were laughing in your basement
On those afternoons in July
I know I had to make the first move
You were far too shy
But I didn’t want to chase you away
Chase you away, you away
The Summer warmed the sidewalk
As it burned our bare feet
Running so quickly back to your house
It was just across the street
I miss the simple things… that made us smile
Our childhood dreams, please stay for a while
I miss how you used to sing, so beautiful it made me cry
How your blue eyes used to sparkle as they flooded into mine…
Do you remember anything?
Who you were, what you used to be?
Do you even remember me?
Because I cannot forget
How time kills us all equally
Sometimes I cry, when your image fills my eyes
Because I’m dead to you, you’re dead to me
And it will never be how it used to be!
We’d listen to the songs
We found at Ryan’s house
Oh, how we loved each other
Some emotions yelled, others whispered not too loud
I guess we were just confused or afraid…
Confused or afraid, or afraid…
Then came all the parties
Around the time of Freshman year
We all found drugs and sex
Who you were soon disappeared
Then you left us all, behind...all behind…
I miss the simple things, the party scene
How the instruments made our ears ring
I miss the honesty, no secrets to keep
When we dove into the water, it was never too deep!
I’ll lock up these memories!
And do my best to hide the key!
Behind these smiling teeth!
This smile is real! You can trust me!
I miss the simple things, the curiosity
We talked about our future, like they’d never be reality
And as these moments fade, becoming just memories
These smiles and scars, will soon be ancient history...

In A Coma
03:31
|
|||
In the back of your mom’s sedan, in the back of this ambulance
We’re still breathing now… Even though it’s slowing down…
There was an accident on the road where we first met
And you’re passing out… I start to shout…
In a coma you can’t hear anyone else
Even though they’re trying to talk to you
It’s just an endless scene of nothingness…
I’m not leaving till you wake up
I know it’s been three whole days now but,
I’m still hoping that my voice gets through
Oh God, please just let it get through…
Wake up! Wake up!
(You're still sleeping!)
On a dark midsummer day, they let you fade away
Stopped that beeping sound… As your chest fell down…
There was a gathering, near a grave where angels sang
I heard a noise, It was my own voice…
(Repeating over and over again!)
In casket you can’t hear anyone else
Even though they’re trying to talk to you
It’s just an endless scene of nothingness…
I’m not leaving till you wake up…
I know it’s been three years now but,
I’m still hoping that my voice gets through
Oh God, please just let it get through…
Wake up, wake up!
[OUTRO]
Please tell me you can hear me
I am singing to you every night
Open your eyes
Look into mine
Tell me everything's alright
Please tell me you can hear me, I am speaking
Is it coming through?
Inside your head, I know you hear me
I hope that you feel no pain
I was begging, now I'm pleading
For you to please hear my voice
I have to be numb to feeling
Or pretty soon I'll have no choice

Breathe Unnatural
04:05
|
|||
My friends all say "Don't live in the past, man
All it will do is tear you apart"
I hope it's not a sign of regression
That I'm keeping you inside of my heart
I just kind of want to continue
To think that you're still waiting for me
And I know that it's not likely
But it's just what I have to believe
And I was just the cause of your burden
But you just made me feel free
And all you wanted was a vacation
While you were all I needed to see
And I still fight the will to continue!
While you're sleeping peacefully!
I hope you know that I still love you!
Even though you are forgetting me!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I don't sleep at all!
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
These nights are awful
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I guess it's my fault!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
We breathe unnatural…
How can I move forward
When you left me with those words?
"Maybe we can try again in the future
When things aren't so absurd"
And I will try to decipher!
What exactly it is that you mean!
Something here was lost in translation
And now I'm always slurring my speech
So I guess that I will continue
To reconstruct and tear you apart!
Until it turns to something less painful
Than the moment that I watched you depart!
No I’m not...
Getting by so well
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
It still hurts like hell…
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I know that it’s my fault!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!
And it's fucking awful!
Do you know!?
You still have my soul!?
Now my lungs!
Aren't working at all!

All That I Had Left
04:51
|
|||
You ruined my whole summer
Maybe my whole life
I don't know where to go from here
Just what do I decide?
I could go off to college
Or just blow my brains out
Maybe I will move away
To a place I can't pronounce
What is the point when
Your best is what you gave and
It wasn't enough then!
It isn't enough now!
Tell me in a few years
Just what you find out
Will they be the same
Or turned to a stranger?
Nothing you do or say seems to phase her!
Cause there’s a knot inside my stomach
And there’s pain between my breaths
And I never knew how to follow up,
Cause I don’t know all the rest!
And there’s anger in my throat now
It filled the hole left in my chest
And I hope that you are happy now,
Cause you were all that I had left!
You were all that I had left!
Yeah, you were all that I had left!
You're all that I...
Think about…
But I won't dare say it out loud
When do you
Think of me?
Do you even, really?
Cause you still call me when you’re drunk…
And something tells me we’re not done...
Cause we,
Love or hate each other
One or the other
Once lovers part ways
There’s still some colour
I’ll give you space,
I’ll try not to hover
I see in the distance
We can recover
Oh, I cannot say anything
That I have not already sang
You're beautiful beyond compare
I love you still, I need you here
Oh, it's been fun
I lost the fight
Go on ahead, I know you're right
I'm leaving soon, goodbye despair
I hope one day I'll see you there…
