Текст песни:

wasted, paralyzed
i need ten thousand layers of disguise
built to save
what′s left that has already worn away

inside this vacant made-up plastic life
only your heart survived
one last cry

one last cry
one last cry
how long until (must i always remember all that i want to forget?)
it′s my day (my day)
to die

these broken animals
useless as they are
these broken animals
as useless as they are
these broken animals
as useless as they are

gravity gets to me
holds me here
without release
now′s the time
to cut the line
cross my heart
i realize
nights are long
and hope is gone
God help me
make it home
make it home

Текст песни:

just take it back (I feel)
they′re only words (your hair)
we hold the tethers (through my)
we′re here together (fingers)

we paint the night (every)
only to find (silk stand)
it′s cracked and peeling (takes my)
each face revealing (breath a-)
what we don′t say (-way)

let′s take these lines and
draw ourselves out of here
this shipwreck
from set-sail
we′ll map the stars
tonight they help to find a way
when all is said
words can breathe more life than death

the inner sense that people share
touching on secrets and letting down hair

over and over let′s not forget last time
i′ve kept the best parts and play them in my mind
this is tomorrow so take it or leave it

empty diaries
there′s nothing to say
and we′ll take the right steps
to keep these pages clean
you want the answers
i see them on your face
you need to know this is where the promise breaks

i can give you my answer
i can give you my answer
i can give you my answer
i can give you my answer

i know (i know)
if you stay (if you stay)
this will be (this will)
ours to take (be ours to take)

inside i (i feel)
am overwhelmed (so good)
from holding back (i want)
but know that this won′t be forever (you for all my days, but tonight...)

i can′t stay here
you can′t ask me
just so you would know

@ Emery

Текст песни:

one and three, you are here
(one and three, you are here
to tell me we can′t do this)

to tell me we can′t do this
(three for three, i′ll disagree)

anymore

your hair and face against the mirror
as i take the steps
to save what′s left of me
someone′s out when it′s over

people steal from you
they take anything they choose

it′s good to see you
i missed you last night
that′s such a lovely color
it goes with your eyes
before we fall asleep
i just wanted to say
this all seems so easy
but there′s choices to make

can′t decide
then look at the faces
candlelight
we′re burning the pages
but ask us why
and hurting ourselves with this false start
resign yourself
and always be (and we pretend)
without the one (it simply gets easier)
thing you need (but does it get easier)
debating words with no replies

when we have these mornings where we can say goodbye

i wanted to mean everything to you
but this isn′t right
you keep coming back disassembled and i
keep losing this fight

i won′t (i won′t)
answer (answer)

dancing on the starlight glow
no one in the city knows
confidence can take you
nerves try to shake you
from going all the way

it′s not that far

it′s good to see you
i missed you last night
that′s such a lovely color
it goes with your eyes
before we fall asleep
just wanted to say
this all seems so easy
there′s choices to make

we watch the tide roll in
with cold air and coffeecake
holding our words at lips
stopping the sounds they make
we know the way to go
we know each step to take
to be here

these words with no replies
stopping we′s and starting i′s
this need is killing me
and taking me over

i wanted to mean everything to you
but this isn′t right
you keep coming back disassembled and i
keep losing this fight

Текст песни:

I′ve noticed your design
Cause I′m not blind
I′m like a cigarette
Burning burning every night
But there′s no ash that falls
There′s only telephone calls in the afternoon
Stretching through a thousand walls

So I′ll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear

If you can′t sleep alone (If you can′t sleep alone)
I′m better off
I′m better off
If you can′t sleep alone

If you′re measuring with time
In seconds or in lifetimes
There′s no difference
It′s constantly just passing by
But there′s nothing at all
No valium or slow songs
To relax my view
Just you, maybe your new perfume

So I′ll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear

If you can′t sleep alone (if you can′t sleep alone)
I′m better off
I′m better off
If you can′t hear the song (if you can′t hear the song)
Then turn it off
Then turn if off
If you cast that first stone
Then throw them all
Then throw them all

I start to sleep but it′s not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I′d take it all back
To start over again
Just between the rock and paper
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I′d take it all back
To start over again

Текст песни:

Watching someone stop breathing.
Feel their arms and palms releasing.
The color, the smell of the skin,
All of this with your fingerprints.
And there isn′t a thing that they can do.

Drive drive drive drive,
I don′t want to get caught.
We′ll say, we′ll say we′re innocent.
And there is enough to prove we′re not.
They will believe anything.
I′m packing all my clothes and never going to go home again.
There isn′t one thing we forgot.
You′ll see, we′ll get away with this.

My jeans, your shoes, we′ll throw away everything we used.
But there′s still your worried mouth
To match your worried eyes.
The only two things left to find.

Drive drive drive drive,
I don′t want to get caught.
We′ll say, we′ll say we′re innocent.
And there is enough to prove we′re not.
They will believe anything.
I′m packing all my clothes and never going to go home again.
There isn′t one thing we forgot.
You′ll see, we′ll get away with this.

There′s no compromise.
So remember this.
Your hands are lies.
It′s too late for riffs.
We′ll go home and close the door,
then pull the sheets up to our heads and sleep.
And there isn′t a thing that they can do.

Drive drive drive drive,
I don′t want to get caught.
We′ll say, we′ll say we′re innocent.
And there is enough to prove we′re not.
They will believe anything.
I′m packing all my clothes and never going to go home again.
There isn′t one thing we forgot.
You′ll see, we′ll get away with this.

Текст песни:

Every once in a while I think I′m lying.
Take it to the bank, I believe every word I say.
(This just isn′t how, this just isn′t how)
Then again, this is when you start your prying.
But there′s a thought it could be true.
But this just isn′t how I imagined it would be.
With these random people just asking the most personal things.
And to think that somehow I could always come clean.
And you shake your head just like you know what I mean.

You′re a Christian tell the sinner
Find repentance it′s your last chance.
You believer, Where′s your patience?
Answer questions, Put on faces.
What about God? For you and for me.
All have fallen short.

(To see if it′s right or wrong to listen to this song.
I don′t want you to.
To see if you′re okay with all the words I say.
It can′t be this way.)

Somehow someone is more equal than others.
Depending on the words we choose to say.
A glance at her too long tonight.
But everything I am saying is right in your ears.
We are all the sisters and the brothers.
Until we find we don′t believe the same.

Like...
Gary is getting drunk to forget Sarah.
Sarah is stealing money from her parents.
Aaron is lying straight to Jon.
About Megan and the things that went on.
Jessica is a gossip. Laura is a slut.
Derrick hits Bridget and Ben deals drugs.
Seth spends all his money gambling.
Joey stopped praying. It is all the same thing.
We are all the same people.
With sinning hearts that make us equal.
Here is my hand, not words said desperately.
It is not our job to MAKE anyone believe.

Текст песни:

No! She won′t, she won′t, she won′t wait!
No! She won′t, she won′t, she won′t wait!
No! She won′t, she won′t, she won′t wait!
No! She won′t, she won′t, she won′t!

Always what you meant, never what you said.
Passing over me like a book you′ve read.
But I let it fall, balling every wish.
Take my hands and eyes, but I beg you this:
Offer me one wish.

If it′s her you want, this is what it takes...
If it′s her you want, this is what it takes...

Let′s get this over.
(Let′s get this over.)
Discuss and deny something; simply just lie
(Let′s get this over.)
And wait and see if she′s something like me.
If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
But your such a success, you′re just not built for it.

I never knew how much it takes to accept...
I never knew how much it takes
To accept that you′re a fake.

If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
(If you just open your eyes...)
But your such a success, you′re just not built for it.
(If you just open your eyes...)

Sometimes I think you just need some time.
Sometimes I think you just need some time.
Sometimes I think I need some to get along without.
To get along without...

(To get along without..)
Everyone′s saying that they′ve got the answers.
(To get along without...)
Well hoping′s deceiving, it spreads like a cancer.

To get along without...

Текст песни:

Pardon me for saying so
But you look more pitiful
Than I had ever imagined
Despite perfect fashion
And your photographs depict you so differently
I always thought you would be
Some sort of match for me

So let
Jumping feet and racing beats
Of hearts that don
Then I
Expressing my deep disappointment

Dripping where I stand
From my watery hands
Hoping to get past the open bedroom door
Where her clothes on the floor
Remind me of our conversation
The feeling of slight hesitation
To turn out the light

Fourteen days now (I′m not)
Since we started (I′m not hiding)
To complicate the situation (From this situation)
I
I
For us to find the back door (From this situation)

We will come out
When it
When it
When it
Us
For us
All

There
To excuse the way that I behaved (When I say it′s over)
I still feel him
Gripping like a stain (By the time you′re gone)
To this fabric (It′s almost over)
Torn at every seam
Thrown away

I
I will not forget
I
I will not forget

Why should I take all the blame for all my mistakes? (I
You were there with every promise made to break (I will not forget)
When did you become the one without regret? (I
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won
When did you become the one without regret (Kill me, kill me)
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won

Текст песни:

You wanted to know us
If it was for the pain that its caused us
For the lies, such a white lie
Don′t know what it was to deserve this

As simple as I can
I′ll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen
And where it will leave us
Now as your body lets you die
And I sit here still alive

In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings

The fluid in your lungs
That tells you you′re losing
Stop breathing
the medicine that comes
Will fix you, will help you
But takes you from conscious to sleep
Place my hands to face and weep

In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
even with the tragedy it brings

Smiling, beautiful
Something torn from my hands

I′m not ready for you to die
[screaming]

This day will end
With the lies complete
My closest friend
Here in front of me
[screaming]

You wanted to know us
If it was for the pain that its caused us
For the lies, such a poor thing
Don′t know what it was to deserve this
