Sunlight breaks through the cracks in the blinds as we lie together alone;
The smell of your skin, the green of your eyes means more than you'll ever know;
Autumn will be coming soon;
The leaves fall from the trees as I fall further for you;
Do you remember when you said that we'd live forever?
That we would live a thousand years, always together?
Spending our days inside of this bed;
My arms always here to catch your head;
I just hope that you're right

Bellicose

I refuse to sit and let life pass me by;
I refuse to live knowing that I didn’t try;
(Pin me to the wall)
Look into these eyes;
You can see there’s no one living;
I show no remorse (for what I’ve done) and no one is worth forgiving;
I’ve spent my life holding on to faith in humanity,
But everywhere I search to try and find,
All I found was just insanity;
We spent our days led to believe that our love was all we need;
Just to find out for ourselves, things aren’t what they seem;
All that you love, and all that you’ll become
Won’t change the past or where you come from;
Just live today as if it’s your last;
It takes too long to see life go by too fast;
(Pull the curtains up)
Let’s start the show;
Are we just pretending?
Is this all just some fucked up fairytale that has no happy ending?
Is this love or is this hell where I’m forced for all eternity?
Well if it’s so, then grab my fucking hand;
I won’t go unless you’re with me;
You laugh at me and say my life is a joke,
But life’s hand’s around your neck and it’s making you choke;
My heart still beats, there’s air in my lungs;
The show’s not over – it’s just begun;
Don’t count on me, I’ll steer you wrong;
Set fire to yourself and be strong;
Live for today and fuck your past;
Stay true to yourself and don’t look back;
All the world’s a stage, and we’re puppets on strings;
All the world’s a stage, and we’re puppets on fucking strings;

Cancer
05:05
|
|||
|
Here we are again;
It’s just me and the bathroom floor;
A gun in my hands,
And this thought that I can’t take this anymore;
Rages on;
A voice inside I hear but cannot see,
Longs for an end to this life I’ve pushed so long and hard to…
Beat this cancer that holds me down;
Intoxicating, desecrating the man I long to be;
Try and lift this anchor that holds me down;
It’s constant baiting, never fading;
There’s got to be a change;
This must be hell;
‘Cause every time I kill myself, I wind up here;
Locked in a cell of all the choices I’ve made,
And the future that I fear;
Deep inside, this voice says anything to get to me;
Tear me down;
I’m so tired of pushing through this agony…
This cancer that holds me down;
Intoxicating, desecrating the man I long to be;
Try and lift this anchor that holds me down;
It’s constant baiting, never fading;
There’s got to be a better way;
I have become lower than I ever thought I’d be;
Let me go – I’ll end it all in hopes to finally
Beat this cancer that holds me down;
Intoxicating, desecrating the man that I long to be;
Just beat this cancer (that holds us down);
It’s constant baiting, never fading;
I’ll never break free from this cage;

Rescue Me
04:33
|
|||
|
Have faith in me;
I long for the person you thought I could be;
I’m crawling through darkness just struggling to see,
So please come and rescue me;
She slams the door and throws her hands;
I think she’s had enough;
I just got home, and I’m drunk again;
I just can’t get enough;
(Get it together!)
She screams through my banter to have some self-control (have some self control);
She’s all in hysterics from broken ceramics and the feeling that she’s all alone;
I swear there’s no malice, I just lost my balance (trying to take off my shoes);
I told myself to sleep downstairs so as not to wake you;
Is this all that you find yourself living for?
Do you feel that your life is worth something more?
Do you feel like you lost your way?
Do you even care enough to say…
So again, we’re back through it all;
The engine in me’s stalled,
And we’re left here stranded from where we want to be;
If disappointment had a sound it would be your voice
As you try to deal with the wreakage that I’ve become;
Another night’s over, I woke up hungover;
I’m belly-up, you’re looking down;
You’re pulling away with nothing to say;
How could silence be so loud?
It’s even apparent to everyone’s parents;
I’m a shell of who I use to be;
I swear I’ll turn this all around;
Just believe;
These scars don’t make me who I am;
They show where I’ve been and what I’ll do just to stay alive;
I still have so much to give;
It’s not the end, don’t say goodbye;
Have faith in me;
I’m no longer the person you thought I could be;
I’m lost in the water of dark open seas,
So please can you see me?
Can you hear me?
I’m nothing without you so please come and rescue me

Tell The Truth
04:48
|
|||
|
How do I find my way back from this?
You told me you loved me,
But I should’ve seen the truth behind your kiss;
I thought that we would grow so tall that we could touch the stars;
I hate myself for not seeing just who you truly are;
The lines weren’t drawn, they were carved in stone;
But now I’m standing all alone;
You took the best of me;
Now I’ll take you for my own;
Tell the truth;
Do I ever cross your mind?
Was this ever the love I thought it could be,
Or was it just a lie?
He was a boy with his heart on his sleeve;
She was the girl that told him what love means;
Put them together, couldn’t tear them apart;
But when she left she took his heart
Well, I drove 3 hours for 15 minutes on my back;
But now my drive is not for love;
Now my drive is for payback;
There’s nothing here, there’s nothing left;
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget;
I’m coming to find you, so watch your back;
Tell the truth;
Do I ever cross your mind?
Was this ever the love I thought it could be,
Or was this just a lie?
Tell the truth – Don’t run from me;
You have nowhere to hide;
I’ll tear you apart so all can see the truth you hold inside;
Stab me all you want, I’m already dead;
Your whispered goodbye was the gun to my head;
I can’t believe that I loved you so;
I’ve tasted your blood;
Now I can’t let you go;

Party Down!
03:01
|
|||
|
So people stand up!
It’s like they don’t understand
This is a party – Get fucking drinks in hand;
We’re all young and we’re bored just looking for fun;
This bottle is the barrel of a loaded gun;
There she goes…
She’s been running around;
With that brand new dude;
That brand new dude that she’s bringing down;
She’s like a blackout, she left me impaired;
‘Cause she’s a knockout with jet black hair;
She’s starting it over; What’s done is done?
(Well)
You best believe you’re not the only one;
C’mon baby, don’t be shy;
Don’t act like you didn’t mean to look at me with those big green eyes;
You better (drink up) before it’s too late because
(Baby) Tonight you meet your fate;
This bottle of bourbon has gone too fast;
Better savor that drink, it might be your last;
So people stand up!
It’s like they don’t understand;
This is a party – get fucking drinks in hand;
We’re all young and we’re bored just looking for fun;
This bottle is the barrel of a loaded gun – C’mon!
People stand up!
It’s like they don’t understand;
This is a party – get fucking drinks in hand;
My fuse is short, are you having fun?
Thought I told you before, girl, there’s nowhere to run;
Oh, but wait – there’s more!
For a moment our eyes meet from across the room;
How could it be that I lost you?
You come to me and you take my hand;
My love for you is all I understand;
But you’re still leaving with him and now he feels emboldened;
His pulls to your arm leaves our fingers unfolded;
He tells me to go and reminds me it’s over,
But I’m not fucking done and now glasses get broken;
A grab at his shirt pulls the thread from it’s sleeve;
He’s throwing punches while you pull him to leave;
Well I guess you need terms that you’ll better understand:
If I can’t have you, no one can.

Noble Lie
03:03
|
|||
|
So you thought you were great?
Thought you could just take the best of me?
Thought you could keep me away from harm,
While you still up and leave?
I’m a forest fire and you, you’re just a glass of water;
There’s no coming back from this;
I can’t save you, and you can’t save me.
A dark ominous cloud looms over two hearts today;
There were simply too many barriers that stood in both of their ways;
In this game we call life, not everyone can end with a win;
And we can’t show love if we don’t feel love from within;
You lead lives of devastation – a folie à deux;
Now a bed of blood and broken glass is all that waits for you;
May you set example for others, so they know not what you’ve become,
And may god have mercy on your souls so they escape the dark to find the sun.

Vibrant Hearts

I strain my eyes;
These bright lights make it hard to see;
I untangle myself from the white sheet that once covered me;
Using every bit of strength I have to get back up on my feet;
I wonder where you are…
Please someone help me…
Say goodnight to the last night that you’ll ever get to breathe;
The once young vibrant heart of innocence just played its final beat;
Say goodnight to the last night that you’ll ever get to see
the ones you loved and left behind for life’s uncertainty;
Troll the halls of this hospital,
In hopes to see your face;
They run you through;
Hoping to save your heart from it’s slowing pace;
They hook you to machines;
Your parents scream as doctors close the shades;
I try to grab your hand,
Say “stay with me” – Don’t go this way;
Say goodnight to the last night that you’ll ever get to breathe;
The once young vibrant heart of innocence just played its final beat;
Say goodnight to the last night that you’ll ever get to see
The ones you loved and left behind all because of me;
We once believed we would never be the ones to be shot down,
But the higher that you fly,
The harder you’ll come crashing down;
Say goodnight to the last night that you’ll ever get to breathe;
The once young vibrant heart of innocence just played it’s final beat;
Say goodnight to the last night that you’ll ever get to see
The ones you loved and left behind
Please forgive me.

Northern Lights
05:39
|

|
I’m so tired but I can’t sleep;
Still scanning the bed for your body heat;
It’s been so long since I could feel you by my side;
When I see you now, we barely speak,
But you still mean so much to me;
I still try to find a way to turn back time;
We both were just dead things brought down by winter’s cold;
But then summer came and took us away and now we shine like gold;
I see you;
I can feel you in my bones;
You voice is still assures me that I am not alone;
You’re the northern lights that guide my way;
You’re everything that’s true;
No matter how far I stray I still come back to…
You stood out in a crowded room, I bloomed against the wall;
The boys they tried to take a piece, but I just want it all;
You walked up and said, “dance with me”, but I was so drunk I could barely see;
But when your eyes met with mine, it felt like destiny;
You took my hand and changed my life;
You kissed me soft, but held me tight;
In a world that’s so dark,
You’re my guiding light;
I see you;
I can feel you in my bones;
Your voice it still assures me that I am not alone;
You’re the northern lights that guide my way;
You’re everything that’s true;
No matter how far I stray I still come back to you;
Always together we’ll never part;
Forever and always in my heart;
Nothing could ever change;
Nothing could take this love;
I stand before you now with roses in hand
As if it could make you understand
That I would trade your life for mine.

Curtains
06:53
|

|
The curtains close on this fairytale;
I’m standing all alone;
I can’t feel the ground beneath my feet,
For I am just a ghost;
Could this be the end?
Will I ever see you again?
I’ve searched the whole world for all my life to find where I belong;
It took so long to realize that place was always your arms;
How couldn’t I see;
All I need’s right in front of me;
See me, I hope you can hear me;
Forever and eternally you’ll always have my heart;
‘til death do us both part;
I lay down some roses upon your grave;
Never got to say goodbye;
When you said that together forever and always, we would stay,
Was this what you had in mind?
We were just kids;
How’d we let it come to this?
See me, I know you can hear me;
Forever and eternally you’ll always have my heart;
‘Til death do us both part;
It’s so astounding;
Your voice, it surrounds me;
Never let go of me;
Hold onto my heart;
No, death won’t tear us apart;
Take me back again;
When we were still hand in hand,
And not buried under dirt and snow;
No matter what the cost,
Forget all that we lost;
I will never let you go;
(Forgive this)
Take me back again;
(Empty distance)
When we were still hand in hand,
(Pulling me to let you go)
And not buried under dirt and snow;
(Believe me)
No matter what the cost,
(No deceiving)
Forget all that we lost;
(I love you more than you’ll ever know)
I will never ever let you go
