Let’s shake and burn, like an addict. My hearings dead, only static.
If I said your smiles all that mattered, would you save my life?

Sometimes the tv is like a lover, singing softly as you fall asleep.
You wake up in the morning and it's still there adding up the things you'll never be.

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole.
Just like a faucet that leaks, there is comfort in the sound.
But while you debate half empty or half full it slowly rises,
your love is gonna drown.

If It's good to complicate, then both of us are doing fine.
Just leave your eyes on your part,
and leave me alone to mine.
If it's good to instigate, then we're a fast horse, bet on us.
I'm not calling you an animal; I think we just fight too much..

So you buried all your lover's clothes
and burned the letters lover wrote,
but it doesn't make it any better.
Does it make it any better?
And the plaster dented from your fist
in the hall where you had your first kiss
reminds you that the memories will fade.

Everyone is standing in a line,
not literally, but figurativly.
we're all waiting in line for life
to screw us over.
one by one we get called to move forward.

You want to see me disappear, well it starts here.
I'm trying my best not to say what you don't want to hear.
But it's alright, you can cover your ears.

I watched you change with the seasons
I wrote you letters but I forgot to mention that
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess, you're a stranger

Hope is why the stars light their
candles every night. Even when the
darkness is too deep for you to see
them, you know they're out there,
shining and beaming across millions
of miles. So I tell you, don't give up
on hope and it won't give up on you.

She's watching the sky burn.
Oh, how it burns.
Run for the skyline, run for the skyline darling,
Follow the light of the moon
just to stay alive.

My secret is fatally gorgeous;
I'd die for you.
But in this Bonnie and Clyde kind of romance,
tell me, what would you do?
My secret is fatally gorgeous;
I'd die for you.
But when your precious life is at stake,
tell me, would you die for me too?

In muddy grass we stand side by side
with our knuckles interlocked.
Black dresses flood the cemetery in this cliche tragedy.
Just do as you're instructed and
take this razor and cut your palms.
I'll do the same until a river of crimson begins to flow.
Now drip your ruby red over the casket;
a funeral for my once loved youth.

So this is it, a black eye or a broken heart.
In this chess game it’s my chance to move.
Far from all disaster and far from queens like you.

a red carpet bagger makes a blackberry call
to the plastic piranhas in the city of salt
wasted wheat paste campaign post no bills on the wall
you mean nothing to no one but that is nobody's fault.

They bred poor Annabelle in a trophy room of blackened skulls.
They held a wonderful feast where everyone dined alone.
Still wet from birth in a sinking cage,
Seventy-one floating souls
One hundred forty-two defiant stares; so brave.

We had it all in front of us
You were the one, I was in love
But you always hurt the one you lost.
I couldn't get enough.
You were everything that's bad for me
Make no apologies - I'm crushed black and blue.
But you know I'd do it all again...for you.

The telephone number I got for you says nobody's home.
The best thing I can think to do right now is leave it alone.
And you had an apology in your mailbox since last July,
It's funny when you find the words to say,
You find no reply.

i'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

taken in context, it's not a bad thing.
but when you start to pick it apart,
it gets so depressing. it's that sort of
thing that makes you think too much.
& it's that sort of thing that makes you
lose your objectivity.

if you need me,
i'm out and on the parkway,
patient and waiting for headlights,
dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the
inconsistencies of my moods.
it's times like these where silence means everything.

Anything you ever asked from me
You got it, yeah you got it
Too much and now you think that you'd be better off without
The next one that you tease will probably be just like me
But with the new-ness that you crave
So you can feel like you are who you claim to be <33

Can't get your memory, off of my mind.
Just want your heartbeat, on top of my mine.
There's something dancing, 
here in the shadows
And I wish it were us.
You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight.

Just when I assume that everything's alright,
You're gone again, I'm gonna spend my whole life wondering why you
Give yourself away to everyone and now there's nothing left for you
There will come a day when everything will come right back down on you

When the sun burns up,
And the ocean dries out.
I'll be all you need,
All you need to breathe.
When the moon falls out
Of the black night sky,
I will light the way.

if you said that you were leaving
i'd ask where we were going
do you really, because i really do
want everything to work out
like the motion picture ending
it's what i really meant to say

When we don’t know who to hate.
We hate ourselves.

Maybe tonight we can forget about it all.
It could be just like heaven.
I am a machine, no longer living, just a shell of what i dreamt.

This is the story of my life, these are the lies i have created.
I'm in the middle of nothing and it's where i want to be,
i'm at the bottom of everything and i finally start to leave...

To find yourself just look inside the wreckage of your past.
To lose it, all you have to do is lie.
The policy is set and we are never turning back,
it's time for execution; time to execute.

I remember every night sitting by the runway side.
I remember waiting for a reason to say goodbye

Watch and wonder. What you are and where you'll be. 
I'll be waiting; I'll be waiting… 
Sleep in splendour while your dreams are whispering. 
Come on and catch me. Try and catch me. 
I noticed at times like these I feel about a million miles away. 
I never believed in me, I think its time to start. 

Every day I wake up and it's Sunday
Whatever's in my eye won't go away
The radio is playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you not but
I might never reach you

it's so weird, you know?
how we always inevitably find ourselves
wanting to run back to the ones we used
to love, for some reason thinking it would
work out differently the second time around.

You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
but it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more
and once more believe..
That they all still believe in you

While women are certainly no strangers to faking it -
we've faked our hair color, cup size, hell, we've even faked fur.
I couldn't help but wonder, has fear of being alone
suddenly raised the bar on faking? Are we faking more then orgasms?
Are we faking entire relationships? Is it better to fake it then be alone?

you've got this new head filled up with smoke
I got my veins all tangled close
to the jukebox bars you frequent
the safest place to hide.

I only wanted to be loved by you
I only wanted to be loved by you
I'm sad and sick of guessing
For the moment when our lips meet melting
I only wanted to be loved by you....

Nothing is real
And I want you to know
That I'm not alright
When you tear open my chest
I'll try not to flinch
Won't make promises
You taught me that.
I'm still losing what's left of my self esteem

There's a selfless soul I'm seeking
One that wants nothing, just look after me
Such is a seldom seed, planted far from the sun
And full of hope, he's not yet gone.

i'm sick of standing in line
waiting turns is a waste of my time
i'm tired of holding my tongue
when nothings said then nothing gets done
looking back to nowhere, back to nowhere

Keep it up, you're losing love
So take a photograph to capture every scene
What this is, and what it could have been
Never seemed to justify the means until the end

just want someone to say,
"i'll always be there when you wake."
you know i'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
so stay with me and i'll have it made.

But now we speak with ruined tongues,
and the words we say arent meant for anyone.
Its just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance,
but there was once you.

Goodbye, I'm not going to waste this time,
 this light that burns will keep on fading.
Goodnight, I'm not getting up off of this ride,
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive

I'm calling your name up into the air
, not one of the others could ever compare

I'd rather be alone.
You're about as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
 but pain will roll off like water on feathers.

So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night

this is to empty warehouses and back alleys.
to grass stains on your knees and getting caught in the rain.
hiding yourself in corners and sobbing.
to handing over the control of your world.
to burying your heart in the palm of another's hand.
to the romance of the hurting

When the sun burns up,
And the ocean dries out.
I'll be all you need,
All you need to breathe.
When the moon falls out
Of the black night sky,
I will light the way.

Can't get your memory, off of my mind.
Just want your heartbeat, on top of my mine.
There's something dancing, here in the shadows
And I wish it were us.You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight.

December killed the best of me.
and i just called and i just wrote to say goodbye.
cuz i'm afraid when the snow clears
here won't be much left of me.
December killed the best of me

I've been worn away by birthday memories 
and galleriesof pictures in my head of you when I'm away. 
I'd do anything to keep this fear from flowing through my veins.
 I'd stay awake and fret just for you.

There are two great days in a person's life:
The day they're born, and the day they figure out why

the best things happen when you dont try
or wish on an eyelash,
just open your heart to a strange thing.

Let's run away to a place where the air tastes like rain
and the sun shines like Sunday morning.
You bring your laugh and I'll bring my sense of humor,
and we can taste the days, one week after another.

Two miles between you and me
But there might as well be an ocean
It's hard to believe we lost everything
We might as well be strangers
Cause I'm flying kites into the wind
And watching my life fall to pieces
And I'm painting pictures with all your lost letters
And hoping to just carry on

Something's very wrong here
Your heart has frozen over
And something's very strange here
You've lost all desire
The comfort we create to prove we're something
But we're starving
You're screaming in the night 'cause you want answers
From the one
And there is hope again

Lay off the coffee, and the Kafka and the coughing.
Lay off the means to the ends and mean what you say more often.
Lay off the, laying off the smiling, the trying.
Lay in me, lay on me, lay on me

Hey montana take your daughter back
It's clear she needs your care
These bustling
Streets are icy veins of a beast who snuffs her prayer
Her bones and the truth show through.

You've got your Texas way of walking.
You've got your sexy way of talking.
let you get all under my skin,
but now your welcome has worn thin.
So next time you go, don't come back again.

You got your big city shoes on in this one stoplight town
and i hate to say it sweet heart, but your only bringing me down.
No i aint got much money and i aint got much charm
But i learned more about life than youll ever know down on daddys farm

one day the dreamers died within us
when all our answers never came
we hid the truth beneath our skin
but our shadows never looked the same

 It's hard to believe that I would let myself
get so wrapped in you.
There's got to be something that would
be worthwhile for me to give to you.
We need a connection but you
seem to push me far away from you

Is this thing of ours still on? 
for I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
 Now I want to be buried in your backyard 
and when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart 
You're still in my heart

In the grass at Union Square I touched your face,
 pushed back your hair And said 
"The days go by, they go by oh so slow"  
And in a room, upon your bed we tangled arms
 and crossed our legs 
When you sleep alone, the days go oh so slow

Contrary to what the cynics say,
distance is not for the fearful...
it's for the bold.
It's for those who are willing
to spend a lot of time alone
in exchange for a little time
with the ones they love.
It's for those knowing a good thing
when they see it,
even if they don't see it nearly enough

And you never write me letters
and you never sent my sweaters
so i could stay warm when i was without you.
Without you i don't sleep, just dream...

I tried my best to fight the atmosphere,
to think the happy thoughts that leave the phone lines clear.
I see Arizona stars from here, but Peter Pan is miles away.

I take a walk down to the shore
and I wonder how much longer I'll sustain these steps
It's been a month since I've been gone
And its been a month too long since
You have graced me with your presence

in the car,
the radio leaves me searching for your star,
a constellation of frustration;
driving hard,
singing my thoughts back to me,
and watching heartache on tv.

the light collects and projects your heart
onto a movie screen.
and if you close your eyes,
we're always going to be that way;
the way we were that night

and we'd lay there in the darkness
like this dream of you i had
where we captured all the fireflies
and knew what time we had could be counted on our fingertips
that almost made you cry
but you let me hold you tightly as we said all our goodbyes
may i say i loved you more

on this coldest of january nights
we drive out past the runway
and watch the planes go flying by
the runway lights are the deepest blue
like the colors of your eyes
so close them tight
and kiss me one last time

The truth about conformity is it bites without a sting. Trends come and go, but when your alone it doesn't mean a thing

Beneath the sky of hate, beyond the sea of pain, in heaven i will wait until we meet again.

Shes headed off to hollywood to make herself a star.
Shes headed off to party where the famous people are.
Shes gonna be a high class sitcom queen.
She's headed off to hollywood to try and catch her dreams

In paper rooms wiht padlocked doors, inside, in love, in twos &fours

I watch the sun go down over the ocean tide,
The wind is blowing from the shore through my hair.
it's beautiful tonight.
oh, I can't explain but I want to feel like a butterfly, as free.
 I want to be as open as the sea

I watch the sun go down over the ocean tide,
The wind is blowing from the shore through my hair.
it's beautiful tonight.
oh, I can't explain but I want to feel like a butterfly, as free.
 I want to be as open as the sea

The curtain's rising just like the ante
Here we go now, break a leg
No, I literally mean it.
But this time around, I'm sick of you leading me on
I'm sick of you stringing me along
I do hereby swear a bounty on your heart

you're going to have to hide double-time from me
'cause i read our poetry, and i can see when it doesn't rhyme

a laundry list of problems
doesn't make you interesting.
&& never getting help
doesn't make you brave.

the world seems to be shaped
by childish games and harsh words.
and i'm thinking that i'd prefer not to be rescued

On the night you left I came over

and we peeled the freckles from our shoulders

Our brand new coats so flushed and pale

And I knew your heart I couldn't win

Cause the season's change was a conduit

And we'd left our love in our summer skin

i can spell your name with chaos.
i can sing all the songs i know you want to hear.
at the end of the night this will be between us,
cause i know that all of this time was wasted.
i can't pretend, cause i can't taste it.
you know if i could go back, i would,
and i wish i could.
