does it hurt?
03:19
|
|||
|
i went to your house
and no one was there
i knocked on the door
and nobody answered
i peered at the window
to see inside
but really, i came
to realize
that our love
has ended still
and i am left in a spinning wheel
tell me how the truth works, does it hurt
i went to the bar
and no one was there
just bottles and glasses
no drunken voices
i yelled at the top of my lungs
i heard an echo
no sad bartender
no one to console me
no one to tell me
tell me how the truth works, does it hurt before or after it sets you free

the rug of nothing
03:14
|
|||
|
it's all gone
this little world that i hide
i'm found out
a crazy light is shining bright
on the lie
i've told myself from the start
now, it's done
delusion gave way to my fright
and your silence
all the things you have to say
you've swept under the rug of nothing, it's okay
yes, i've fallen
in another cliff i can't climb
no, i'm staying
i'm not ready to be left behind
it's broken
the spell you cast that kept me blind
but my eyes
i'll close them shut if you're mine
and your silence
all the things you have to say
you've swept under the rug of nothing, it's okay

cover my head
04:33
|
|||
|
i hear the footsteps
they are rushing back and forth
i hear the stomping
and i'm getting scared
lying on the floor
i look out the road
your friends are marching to the beat
and they are cloaked
and i'm losing my mind as i speak
cover my head
cover my ears
cover my head
i'm covering my fears
wilting like
a fallen supernova from the sky
the space between
your world and mine
and i'm going crazy
and the rain keeps falling on your coffin
encasing your body
your smile
your eyes
your tender hands
cover my head
cover my ears
cover my head
i'm covering my fears
and i look away for a moment
because i cannot take the vision
and i look back
and you are gone
you are gone
cover my head
cover my ears
cover my head
i'm covering my fears

too much too soon
03:23
|
|||
|
how come this came to a screeching halt
i thought you were my lightning bolt
bellow from the farthest reaches of the sky
never thought you'd be this angry and i don't know why
i believe in love
i believe in us
i believe in trust
go ahead and call the cops
and i'll tell so big a lie
it will cover your eyes
it's too much, too soon
to be in a boxing ring fighting with you
how come the one you find
doesn't have much of a spine
it's just like a fairytale
i believe in love
i believe in us
i believe in trust
go ahead and call the cops
and i'll tell so big a lie
it will cover your eyes

stone
02:58
|
|||
|
it's odd how love grows
it claws itself to homes
and just when life settles
here it comes to level everything
they say i should flush
these thoughts down
that i can end up in ruins
but i'd rather do that
than be a fool again
i'll just throw a stone
down the well
here's hoping it
reaches the ocean
through the rivers
into your hand
i can get over people
floors don't hold me down
never a hostage, no
i can hold my own
you should let me go
just let me go
it's not that hard
just stop calling
and stop spreading
these rumors in the air
i'll just throw a stone
down the well
here's hoping it
reaches the ocean
through the rivers
into your hand

circle again
02:24
|
|||
|
what is there to life
i hear you ask beneath the lights
there's a question on your face
and debate in your eyes
and i know it's time to let you go
and i feel that we've reached the end of the field
and it's time to circle again
circle again
circle again
will you hold my hand
i feel wounded in the sand
let me open your goodbyes
take away the pain tonight
and i know that it's time to let you go
and i feel that we've reached the end of the field
and it's time to circle again
circle again
circle again

time changes
02:20
|
|||
|
i know to wait
for you to stay
it's wrong
to pray
for everything to be the same
it's not the way time changes everything everyday
it's not the way time changes everyone
i know you'd break
promises you've made
they sounded too precious
and now they're stained
it's not the way time changes everything everyday
it's not the way time changes everyone

retard
02:08
|
|||
|
i hate it when you get cute on me
like a retard with that smile on your face
like a car magazine in the toilet sink
like you could not be bothered to think
just say it
if you want it
i'll take you
and fake it all

murder murder
03:48
|
|||
|
saw you in the room yesterday
looked like a stranger
did not recognize your face
but i saw the danger
you said you weren't gonna hurt me
that you're too far away
i could have commited murder
locked away, insane
i came here to make you feel bad about yourself
i came here to throw you head first in the water
if i saw you again, i'd do what my mother told me
she said not to do a thing if there's no goodness in my heart
if i talked to you again, i'd do what my father told me
he said not to let people dick me around
i came here to burn you with this stare
i came here to hold you under my spell
and it's not like what we had really mattered in the end
you don't even feel bad about it
and it's not like what we had really mattered in the first place
you don't even feel sore about it

silent still
03:42
|
|||
|
do you hear me marching to the beat of your drum
you have been silent all these years, you're silent now
i'm holding my own against the water pressure
i've been loving myself, one's own lover
oh my god, you've been so odd
seems like the shallow ones are the only ones
oh my god, you've been so odd
seems like the hollow ones are the only ones
like a monkey, playing tricks on you
makes me feelingless but still i rejected
felt my own life pulling and pushing to your will
inertia broke my heart and i'm left standing still
oh my god, you've been so odd
seems like the shallow ones are the only ones
oh my god, you've been so odd
seems like the hollow ones are the only ones

psh

i guess deep down
i'm like everyone else
was perfectly fine
living in a shell
of a life between years
suddenly you come in
and change the way i begin
my usual sentences
i'd never feel the same again
the only way this sadness can end
i guess inside
i always knew
i was capable of loving you
and if i tried, i could kiss a fool
the way i asked to play your game
it was a hint of a rookie mistake
i bet you saw right through it
i'd never see you the same way
it's my only plan to shift the blame
and when i learned
there was someone else
i tried to listen to the sound of the bell
and it was telling me it's over
it just confirms the way i imagined
the aftertaste of the betrayal
i'd never believe the heartbeat again
the heartbeat pretends to be my friend
but the heartbeat knows it has to end
when we meet again
i won't run away
i'll just keep my distance
and though it will seem that way
i'll still know your name
i've kept it in my mind
i've known it for a decade's time
so don't feel bad about everything
cause you know
you know
cause you know
you know

girl in a box
03:46
|
|||
|
look at the smile on her face
a smile aint a smile til it fades away
look at her eyes like spades
a look aint a look til you turn away
this girl is broken, you should know that now
should have never spoken, just kiss her bloody mouth
look at her waving back at you
hello aint a hello til you say goodbye
look at the shine of the blade
pain aint pain til you rub away
this girl is broken, you should know that now
should have never spoken, just kiss her bloody mouth
it's too late
'cause the girl in a car is now a girl in a box

smoke detector heart
03:27
|
|||
|
maybe you're screaming because you can't hear yourself
but i can hear you loud and clear
so there's no need to tell me twice
i've got a smoke detector heart
i've mapped out the warzone before i picked up a gun
there's no need to treat me like a child
i'm awake and my eyes are wide
i can follow your directions
i've got a smoke detector heart
i've mapped out the warzone before i picked up a gun
so i can safely say i know your next move
and i can tell you're on the losing side
those years you left behind
i've got a smoke detector heart
i've mapped out the warzone before i picked up a gun
so run run away from here
the sun will keep shining on your back
and i will keep waiting for you to appear
i've got a smoke detector heart
i've mapped out the warzone before i picked up a gun

fluorescent
03:15
|
|||
|
i look away until he fades
under the grey
i breathe a sigh of relief
under the pain
i wipe the tears of the fear
under the blame
i break the silence of the delusion
of forever
i see the light of the season
breaking into summer
i let the sands of time slip by
between my fingers
i feel the grief burrowing deep
i feel it slither
i see my heart falling apart
in its fluorescent grave

war of the cellos
03:02
|
|||
|
they all seem to spread out
when the clock hit its mark
they've all evaporated
and i'm left searching
look away from here
i stare into air
i look up the sky
and see it's getting dark
i was afraid, more than that
some stray storm is coming my way
carless and friendless, escaped the war
peerless stranger in the dark
pulled me close and kissed my eyes
whispered for me to look away from here
|
||||
16. |
||||
|
the wave
is getting higher
but never
seems to hit me
i sit here
waiting
for the water
to drown me
the cold is
freezing my breath
i can't seem
to run out of it
you're not allowed to feel unloved anymore
you're not allowed to feel unloved anymore
