beautiful

come what may
'cause they are everywhere inside
please
don't you stay
'cause i'll remember you
and you'll remember me...
with beautiful lips and beautiful eyes
there's beautiful colour in the beautiful sky
there's beautiful meaning in beautiful lies
why won't you listen to me?
come what may
'cause they are everywhere inside of me...
and please
don't you stay
'cause i'll remember you
--and you'll dismember me
with beautiful lips and beautiful eyes
there's beautiful colour in the beautiful sky
there's beautiful meaning in beautiful lines...
why won't you listen to me?
'cause it's the damn cold night on the winter's edge and i know
i've been here twice and i've never felt so alone
your vacant stare in the night
the broken glass you hold so tight
your eyes are wide and reality is sinking in...
with your beautiful lips and your beautiful eyes
there's beautiful colour in the beautiful sky
there's beautiful meaning in beautiful lies
why won't you listen to me?

burn
03:46
|

hello there
at least you're sober
this time
hand over
the keys
like this you
can't drive
oh well it's awesome how you
twirl me around
oh well it's awesome how you
burn me down
oh well it's awesome how you
will turn this around
oh well it's awesome how you
burn me
you burn me down
no
hello there
at least it's over
this time
pull over
like this
i said you can't
you can't drive
oh well it's awesome how you
twirl me around
oh well it's awesome how you
burn me down
oh well it's awesome how you
turn this around
oh well it's awesome how you
burn
me
down
and it's burning
and again and again
you are turning
all alone in your head
it's concerning
this time that we spend
to taste it
and waste it
and start over again
you can burn me all you like
i won't fall
i won't break it off
hello there
at least it's over
this time

i'm not leaking anymore
02:31
|
|||
it's not how you bleed
that gets to me
'cause we all leak
sometimes
it's what we need
but like before
is your head still sore?
by the engine's roar
you told me
that i'm not leaking anymore

don't look down
06:46
|
|||
come around
slow down
your heart is in motion making no sound
are you immune?
to better days
the kind that keep your mind at bay
slow down
do you believe?
in me
and my passions you make make-believe
well maybe someday
angel you'll believe in me one day
one day
just don't look down
from these heights
with angel highs and lows
with angel heights and notes
'cause even heroes come close
and even angels feel both
taking us in
brought in and out
i am with poison
and you are without
you steal and take it
push it and fake it
break me--i'll stake it (stay kid)
if you die i'll make it
quit me
with angel highs and lows
with angel cries and notes
'cause even heroes come close
and even angels feel both
a scribble in your heartbook
and write the fighting song
you are filled with oxygen
so please just sing along
can you believe the years let go?
the start to end it all
you've past the sick and healing now
the way too tall to fall
the feeling tides are coming
so please keep me in your thread
how can you steal my oxygen
and still get to my head?
emotions aren't so high
if you've learned to stay below
i know what you think you're feeling now
but it comes and it will go
and it will
go

ghost
07:06
|

i feel like a ghost
faker than most
i hope that you know
it comes and it goes
i miss you so...
do you remember who i am?
the world was much smaller back then
stars are my home i'll pretend
nighttime's a fair-weather friend
well i feel like a ghost
faker than most
i'll hope that you'll know
it comes and it'll go
i miss you so...
but you don't remember who i am
oh you felt much stronger back then
stars are my home i'll pretend
oh but nighttime's my fair-weather friend
now i don't remember who i am
oh but i know i was happier then
holes in your soul don't quite mend
but the truth in your heart you can bend
i feel like a ghost
faker than most
and i hope that you know
it'll come and it'll go
i need you so...
the ghosts up above
they can howl all they want
'cause the heart that they lack
is the heart that you've got
they've been screeching for years
just to make you believe
but believing in fear
is not believing in me
oh the gods up above
they can bitch all they want
'cause the love that they lack
is the love that we've got
oh they've been preaching for years
just to make you believe
but believing in ghosts
it won't save you from me
we're realer than those
love terrifies both
i hope that you know
i'm no fucking ghost
i love you so...
much

starting line
04:34
|

well i know it's hard
to fall back on the starting line
but hey it's what you are
a loser then and a loser now
well maybe you should try a little harder
despite getting my back up against the wall
i never felt so small
hey let's decide
to reward my conscience with the lie
and maybe this time
die a little every night
'cause we give away our prize
to whoever fucks the loudest
in our star jaded eyes
that you will never see again
and why don't we just celebrate
the mediocracy
with our hands in each other's cake
'cause we don't have our own
and hey you get a trophy
for coming dead fucking last
'cause we don't want you to feel bad
well maybe i should
find a reason to give a damn
'cause i've felt hard-pressed i could
if i even started again
'cause i'm so far down the line
i don't remember how to give the college try
'cause i dropped out to soothe my wounds
and 'cause i couldn't afford it
well i know it's hard
to come back to the starting line
but hey it's what you are
a survivor then
and a fighter now

not afraid to die
03:16
|
|||
the cold morning start
am i still breaking a heart
i'll never win?
'cause i've been outside
for my whole fucking life
where have you been?
well maybe next time
if you could open your eyes
and let me in?
but i won't stay long
because there's shit in my song
that would make your pretty head spin
and i can't be blamed for
the reasons you shake
and i can't be here
when you break
and i can't repair
all the mistakes that we've made
but i can be there when you wake
well i don't know why
we spend our whole goddamn life
to get an in
with some old man in the sky
who couldn't care if you die
but don't fucking sin
oh it kinda reminds me
of the time that i tried
to break my skin
and poured the angels inside
i never felt more alive
or close to him
and i know you don't want
to let in the light
but the vampire police
need your eyes tonight
and i'm so goddamn afraid
that you're not afraid to die
'cause i need your life in mine
and i'm so goddamn afraid
that you're not afraid to die
'cause i need your life in mine
and i'm so goddamn afraid
that you're not afraid to die
'cause i need your life in mine
'cause i need your life in mine

those nights
04:55
|
|||
i know you don't want to die tonight
and i know just what you feel inside
i know when you are trying to hide
in my arms
in my heart tonight
and i know you only come alive
when you're dancing on the edge of knives
i know what you are trying to find
in my arms
in my heart tonight
and it's a long way down
i thought you'd learn by now
but if you sound it out
you'll find me spinning 'round
and hey kid
don't waste it
i hope you finally make it
i know your heart's on fire
but it burns inside for all of us
please stay kid
don't break yet
i know your heart can take it
i know the look
so i'll be breaking down your door because
i know you don't want to die tonight
i know the feeling's deep inside
i know when you are trying to hide
in my arms
in my heart tonight
and i know you only come alive
when you're dancing on the edge of knives
well i know what you are trying to fight
in my heart
it might hurt tonight
truth tried speaking through the holes in her neck
truth tried dreaming through the tubes in her head
truth never made it from her heart to her tongue
no one heard truth 'cause truth never won
truth tried speaking through the holes in her neck
truth tried dreaming through the tubes in her head
truth never made it from her heart to her tongue
no one heard truth 'cause truth never won
with strength to borrow
love fear and sorrow
will you still be there?
today
tomorrow
the straight and narrow
blood steel and marrow
will you still be there?
my hope
and arrow
i know you don't want to die tonight
and i know just what you feel inside
i know when you are trying to hide
in my arms
in my heart tonight
and i know you only come alive
when you're dancing on the edge of knives
well i know what you are trying to fight
in my heart
it might hurt tonight

route 17
03:52
|

i lied
about 17 times
when i broke the bones
inside my fist
against your wall
still so fucking tall
that i couldn't believe it
when i missed
make-believe
when you're 17
isn't as easy as it used to be
i don't mind
dying a little inside
so long as you don't hate me for this
because i already hate me for this
i cried
about 17 times
when i read the bracelet
'round your wrist
against it all
with odds so fucking small
that it didn't hit me
'til it did
make-believe
when you're 17
isn't as dangerous as it used to be
i don't mind
dying a little inside
so long as you don't hate me for this
because i already hate me for this
but i could never hate you for this
i died
about 17 times
until they broke the bones
inside your chest
and reached inside
to save another life
just like one final goodbye
before you left
i don't mind
dying a little inside
because your heart still beats
but in another life
the rhythm it keeps
no longer remembers me
but baby rhythm that i won't forget
because it constantly plays through my head
sometimes it's like you had never left
this great big old hole inside my chest

mom
04:20
|

she asked if i'd abide to die
or get back my time
between 9 and 5
so defy the high
and my my you'll find
a lie designed
to confine the life
that you wish so bad
you weren't a part of
wish so bad
you never heard of
wish these lines meant more than rhymes
by tv people with their shirt off
cut the fat and crack heart attack
he broke your bones she broke your back
why baby you're not keeping track
and maybe you shouldn't love like that
now i've been crying all these years
so you could find me in your tears
but like words need mouths
and hands that feed
you're listening without ears
...sometimes a line is just a line
she asked if i'd ever seen inside
these eyes
so fucking terrified
so pass it on
to the passerby
'cause it's not right
to live the lie
that you wish so bad
you weren't a part of
wish so bad
you never heard of
wish this life meant more than i
self-medicate to shake the worst off
popping snaps for panic attacks
this won't stay down this won't come back
why baby still not keeping track
well maybe you shouldn't think like that
now i've been lying all these years
so you won't find me in your fears
but like kids need mom
for knees that bleed
you're crying without tears
...and sometimes alright is just alive
so i asked if she'd ever wondered why
pills flirt with girls
and suicide
decide to try
and my my you'll find
that i'm designed
to keep you alive
you don't have to wish
you are a part of
you don't have to wish
you always were loved
you are nothing less than whole to me
you are what your child thinks the world of
the less you know
far less you'll ask
when less is more
it's what the lesson lacks
but the less you think
is the more you'll act
'cause it was you who learned to fight like that
now i've been trying all these years
to stop your crying and block your fears
but you don't need these
like i need you
so i promise I'll be here
...but sometimes the fight comes just in time
