Crackled is the paint on the children's faces Blown like glass from the heat of an atom bomb While over here reality's in cultural paralysis Oh come on baby Gabriel, blow me back to genesis My lord you've been such a place of understanding That's why I turned around to make it easier for stabbing Phobias saved for my failures to carry me every bit further Though mother father let me take a chance to never move forward Let me take a step back and say I don't believe in anything sincerely anymore My mind's a brothel and my faith's become the stinking whore She would say to all you jaded lovers Memories dissolve when their reverence is cowered Bless you I've said so many times sarcastic Thank you I've sang when my gratitude was plastic I'm just one klonopin from snapping I'd rather sink the ship as captain I'm much to far from land to know Where the anchor's landing I've forgotten what the monuments meant And I've forgotten the time on prayers I've spent Didn't you say that you've always prayed for me Because I'd like you to know I'm feeling exactly the opposite these days Why did I fake sickness, til I caught the disease with Overbearing second fads, warlords, sleeping giants, the publicists and tyrants, political truants and rapists lobbyist and court cases, obesity and racists Bad words, sinking stars, biblical wars, crashing cars, scripted reality, but the news station acts as if it was the latest issue of soap digest magazine But when the blood of our men Runs thicker satisfying few Who cares of the rivers Who cares of the oceans Who can define a trench anyways Ignorance makes us forgot that these children of wars Are becoming currents in a growing flood rushing gallons and gallons of bloodshed Numbers, mathematically have proven probability But where do my chances fall when my fears draw shackles on me Now my failing nature is reliable as it's foresight What's the point of this age of experience In this short existence we're given I don't want to dance, I hate pep rallies Hail to the sheep who keep on smiling I once, once Wanted to join in any one of their melodies Celebrating every good time, celebrating the days of their lives Celebrating every chance to sleep, celebrating the right time to eat Celebrating a love so hollow, celebrating it by the volume Cherishing empathy as opposed to apathy, maybe enjoying a party Then sitting in the back, quietly drinking Celebrating every good time, celebrating the days of their lives I don't believe in anything sincerly anymore My death's expected, my drinking just ejects me So let me say to all you jaded lovers Memories dissolve when their reverence is cowered Shockingly I've come time and time again to pray for a sign The truth is I haven't given a shit in a long time

Stay Together said the mountaintops before the lovers fall And crumble universes who reasons being are more than monument Crawl again said a trusting friend who trusts one side of problems as If it all was nothing more than bias, nothing more short of some virus Let the knife cut through her heart, said the ones that got a hold of it Let memories decay, Let motions fade, let her passions leave What it used to be What she could have seen Her hair tangles as she falls lets the wind just tear her skin She can see those organs rise as she drops a skeleton These veins snap so fragile-y they act if as their weathered twigs I watch every feather drops, gravity’s broken both of her wings So until the pressure pushes my eyes Blindly left with the pains of feeling Wondering if she could hear at all To see who’s to blame for all this screaming We’ve seen the end of these fights; we’ve seen the end of this ride But I’ve seen the end of this night; I’ve seen the end of this life Oceans erode time, weather evokes faith The fire it burns lives more than a rope takes Why do you, you, you, you focus on the flyaway The earth corrodes everything that we make Is that to say we weren’t worth the keepsake? Why do you, you, you try to stay when you can’t truly Come together said hate on the fence who loves nothing more than violence Why did it come to the point our veins break like ashes from some summer’s warning If loves abstract what pains have been made so tailored by architect Pain and pleasure come in knowledge spoiled once in value by the sight of it

Get to stepping out the door, I've just found out That love was more than time and yesterdays looks Meet me in the middle please I can no longer take the tease While my soul gently melts from my limbs Sing me a song so loyal in tone But tear your teeth when we're all alone I never should’ve second guessed that kiss Temptation came not from your lips But thinking any problem was short enough to fix Remember just slowly that I was the only one to pick you off your feet The rhythm in our groove kept our soles on the move but it never weakened our knees So why are we both falling down the mountains we built in our days Together we hit the ground, rising some humble sound which brought us much further away The folks they came to seal the scene, of flakes cracking off many seams but the crowd decided they’d do otherwise Lovers come, they build and climb, fighting the pressure of their times, a force itself growing in their minds But for one to leave one in the cold, to harden their shoulders, to strengthen their bones You could clown around, life's truly yours, but you lost the stakes to control my own and I can’t keep blaming myself you ended up alone

Feel the crash in this competition of self Versus the water whose first to soften Let us keep diving, switching stations on our radios to find the perfects speech to make This leap spreading forward closed within our minds ever so simply erasing the rest Arise with a war message, a vision growing overflowing, baptism in the bleeding red tide No horizon has matched these miles And when this illusion takes it break for a while I’d have grown, become numb right to the sight Because I’m sick of believing the wright Rise. Accept. Become Savage. Will is the thrill of true allowance Of these chains to break, with the quietest sound Let the knowledge sink in, see your heroes unbound Welcome to this reality; don’t hide yourself interpreting it all What’s the point of more poster children for nihilism though I do enjoy the isolation Is the religion of the future just nothingness, as concretely as it is on these fingertips? As I’ve come in today intoxicated with these infinite limitations Have I learnt through my own extension the new price of loving fate and her consequences I feel the best when I’ve hoped, I feel just right with my faith I feel alright when I’ve prayed, until it washed away I feel so wrong when I seen tears I feel so bad when there’s blood But its these moments that I’ve found I never felt so good The folks in blue are painting red, this white dream message where’s all better off dead It’s not the way it was it’s the way it should be The firemen will become arsonist, the ambulance will carry morticians It’s not the way it was it’s the way it should be There’s constructs laying the foundation while pride’s drawn on its chest with crayon It’s not the smell of a dream, it’s a burning book Some tattered rose may graze us with knowledge While the now gaze-less stare of some regular foliage Describes passion as if it were a four letter word It’s not the way it was it’s the way it should be

Please tell me that lovers stare in each other’s eyes to see they’re falling still Please tell me that parents love all their children not to set them up for the kill Because I would love to love them still (follow me follow) Yes I would love to love you still (follow me follow) Jenna starts bawling been rocking along with your mister A kiss in the shade, spent some delicate days, see its all clear Now they’ve blown the flame that was once was burning You could see there’s a fighter lost Can you tell behind the colors of my eyes? Please tell me that every single tear that’s formed is all due to my relief (released in shock, I missed the chance) Please tell me that your parents still carry their hates blind, as they drown you in the seas (It’s a shame, the winds that found you) Because I would love to care just still (follow me follow) Because I would love to worry still (follow me follow) Joey is faking; he’s got you breaking up with your muffin A bet to the bed, I guess he’s laughing to death with his real friends Now you know its all a game they played Do they still talk to you the same? Can you tell now as you tried calling me drunk? Because I can’t let myself fall down the same goddamn hole But I can watch you drag down my so-called friends, dear Though right now I’ve tied every rope so they can choke from my fingertips I’m watching some scream, some gleam as my other hand draws much closer Those little fingernails rip, those little fingernails rip Those little fingernails rip, bit by bit It’s sometimes just as good the second time you find love when everything never seemed to go right the first A lesson like poison why was your heart so chosen, to crumble up a brittle bunch where concrete love just became dust Please tell me this happy ending I’ve found now is finally cutting through the clouds Please tell me you’re still a ball of hate, waiting on this old telephone line Because I would hate to remember still (follow me follow) Yes, I would love to hate you still

Secondhand apologies never meant anything good for me But I’ll just check the mail The morning sky loves to turn her eye she grew ill looking a second time But boy do I love the shade I love how the color blue sticks to me glued wish purple came next But the hand stays just a bit too loose But I’d say cheer up but I’m not serious Frankly I really don’t give a fuck About how miserable your life is I rather see you in pain then save another helpless soul And watch you fall right in the hole you dug right on your own God damn it if I’m not the champion of lost dreams turned thieves Bless the separate coffins, grace heartless cadavers Oh you patron saint of disease, lower me Cliché up your party boy, is the mirror reflecting back the toy That your parents left in the attic so long ago What a taste, a taste so taint, the young man cries before the tears are ripe I guess this jaded age has lost seriousness Surround yourself with the world you spread, never thought it was so simply read Boy doesn't a ceiling hang a fan so tight Living forever is pure narcissism; I don’t need any of your criticism When the sound escapes, I see a careless slowed burn

Love is an open canvas for us, to lay memories and feelings on We’d like to keep it untouched but uneasy weather will always come to Try and poke a hole through it, It’s our choice if it rips Time ages the letter but the fabric never quits One step right into the right way forward to the path of our dreams Never a thought of the wrong step backward or to the left, if Lefts what we had yesterday, that means loves has found a way To open our hearts and lead the crowd apart There’s no light to set the mood There’s just the right attitude I’ll tell you there’s nothing to fear Cause love is the only thing here I understand the scars from a broken heart But for a lasting love you don’t have to look so far It’s in the air tonight, and I can tell by reflections in your eyes You don’t just feel it out, but feel the feelings all around It’s a crazy notion dancing with the love of my life but I’ll just enjoy the dance, it’s in the air tonight

Rewind before it all began the collapse of love and thoughtlessness When time and place were just another friend When days got brighter standing hand in hand When we could find the time, when we weren’t looking for space When love prevailed it all, before the crosshairs of shame were stained Rewind before the bridges burned how did we let it get so dark and crisp? She took love as options never as the risk The movies had it so exaggerated the man can beat the odds The woman ends with the win the crowd applauds it all And then the picture ends Take the better parts of me and never take anything less Don’t settle second for what we had Don’t let reason shed the courage of chance Time only grays the hairs on our heads It’s doesn’t take the breathes we’ve taken Let us burn brightly like stadium lights When the streets only glow from the stars tonight I love this city, this city in her ugly hours

Sleep again, don’t let insomnia burn your innocence Childlike and wonderful but so alone, a bruise to fruit sewn to the soul I know you get tired these days when you feel it’s all more of the same To trade passion for time to waste, then something a little more than Lately its someday we will find our own little place where Sunday’s sorrows are gone in the garden that we grew to set them No low tides washing away the shores we celebrate on Our own little Eden I can see it and it’s getting a little clearer If hope is the anchor, he’s the spreading rust If your faith were in placed in scrapbooks, he’d become the dust Although we can pace over the future years with all the plans kept hung up in our heads Hopes remain high, when you’ve found out how to fill the cup, these dreams will savor the light, grace your eyes there on

How is one to win when we’re both blind to other sides Of the stories we supposedly knew felt as we were right there Inclined to be assigned take a number and a seat And wait for one more breath to stick your head up in our air again Two to one million, a drop turned to tremendous sea When blind eyes mixed with deafened ears a bitter wind taints her faux tears Opinions tossed a bias locked into acquaited vaulted hands to Bolster an ego never birthed, but a love grand enough to assert that Feeling Fire, a mint appeal, I’d rather save myself than steal Another quarter hour smile, that state could never be worthwhile What happened with what I’ve guessed would have be solution to What dissolved out problems to become a rag never worth its rare use I’d like to be under the radar Away from all the constant instigation Sealed in a world that I can call my own Hidden purely from pre-lead investigation

It feels right that I am alone tonight (hidden from the setting sun) Its feels right that I am alone tonight (driving on the highway blankly) It feels right that I am alone tonight (with my mind calling lonesome hymns) It feels right that I am alone tonight (dragging on a velvet cigarette) I see in the mirror of the black in her eyes, she’ll leave tonight lame and broken As it dangles from her lips, her sights are aimed to save ignorance and bliss She may a live a life of the coward-dess until her reflection hang her by the hairs Hitched to reality, she seethes as I tear her little cockroach wings So the madness drives the wheels, society make man-made treacherous cliffs Shes so pleased and vainly lit, well equipped, I’m choking, she has spoken A sharp tone and such a hidden prime shows that emotion can really lobotomize A lesser kind carves souls so hollow, I showed my strength, she just swallowed Hidden from the setting sun Driving on the highway blankly With my mind calling lonesome hymns Dragging on a velvet cigarette Dragging on a velvet cigarette

Read a story about a man salivating at the sight of sun as he drew in his breath, never knew what he’d see next So I turned the page to see a change but it all ends up being the same, why not find an escape rather than waste another day If we’d find all our troubles, please tear them in front of me and if you decide roll the windows right up and just turn the keys I’ve been rewinding tapes, throwing photographs away, let them burn like the hell only love can bring I’ve been shredding the cards, forgetting memories, letting time be erased, let it set the stage Is it love or are we jaded, what’s reality if it’s all what we make it Is it angst or sophistication, when we breathe in the smoke and the fallen glass The wolves I see they smile at me they see my nerves pulsating as they come Whispering it all gets worse as my breath significantly worsens and They come as if they’re shot from a gun; they can see my knees weakening Fall down with me, fall down with me He saw a play the other day directly taken by the wright in shame; he said do fact and fiction really need distinction He shouts in laughter the question’s answer just as if he never meant to say, I never meant physical, these morals are just so trivial He sang when we fall, our wings break did you think I would give them strength Fall forward to the boards, hit heaven hard let them wash away He’s been storming the lines we’ve never meant to cross; he’ll speak Rand-nian shone in young decadence He’ll speak of loving ourselves, keeping dedicated, so we’ll question the night reveling in her sweet violence We can leave this town, we can run away Like a movie scene hung on a stranger’s face Because I know that I can’t Love again the same as yesteryears the calluses on my knees have all dried from its bleeding You know I’d rather stay; I’d rather stay with you

Darkness emerges crowding the streets he said pulling her hand close and tightens his grip he says remain sleeping my dear carries her further down the stream, its just a dream he laughs to calm her throbbing heartbeat He runs with her weightless and concentrated, hes reaching the light at the end of the Let us be villians today, we'll use the time to take the easy prey Shed the sheath of the cynic's blade and hang the heads that procrastinate Praying to the beautiful With thier minds so preciously certain They know nothing but the invitation While we chew youth to the point of multilation A slow wind graces the lovers as they fall and make sure that each oneis up to run to freedom and fighting strong odds, is all love ending in 3/4 time Tired eyes, upon her lips, apocalyspe she yells to destroy the castle A souless vessles, champions dragged, to brave a rising new tide Take The Easy Prey It's Just Another Day

So…did you expect me to live forever Did you really think that I could grow old So…did you expect me to carry on & on So…did you expect me to kicking the same cloud Did you really think that the hold could cover up So…did you expect me to just keeping digging a growing pits into the sinking abyss you laid Like steel on fertile grounds Send me an angel to lift me off this world with her wings Send me a stranger to hinge my mind to think of better things Send me a lover to build this broken heart up again Send the medication so the doctor can take away the pain

You Know, You Know, You Know It'll take all the fire in hell to hold me back There's no need for waking in the dark I know I know I know It really is a pity to leave when it starts igniting And you’ve stopped fighting, its like, anyhow, Goodnight to our home and garden Goodnight to the footsteps washing away From the rain, you got to, got to, got to know I'm feeling better these days They know, they know, they know This story of mine is only at disbelief My mind is lighter, I've kindled the fire of my own Just know, just know, just know You can take all those dances back into your dreams Remember it feels right to live a life of take It's closing time for these broken lights Winds have gotten easier, the directions right To set my sail less miserable, you got to, got to, got to know I'm feeling better these days Because all in all were all in love that could never fit in a single love song And you, you say that you know that we’re falling too Well baby just know we’ve all felt it too So goodnight to all my friends, goodnight to the times we spent Washed away in the tide, you got to, got to realize

A thousand pokes it takes for you to realize You’re not so hot in someones eyes Ain’t that a shame for the boy of tomorrow Used to love the sayings you learned from all your schools They just don’t apply anymore Where did level go for the boy of tomorrow A jab of two right into you hopefully will glue The nerves you rubbed so strongly off Tell me how numb you’ve become, Mr. Boy of Tomorrow The ideas you had were funny safely kept in your head But to your networks, drop them dead Do you still watch the tv shows Mr. Boy of Tomorrow Your searching for someone to see your genius Even when you had to explain everything to all of us You’re reaching for higher plains but it’s already been, bought, sold and trade to fade Give an applause for the boy of yesterday
