Something takes a part of me, something lost and never seen

Oh, make me over, I'm all I wanna be, a walking study in demonology

Well, I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all, oh yeah. But, hey man, free rides just don't come along every day (Let me tell you about my other friend now)

I can't paint a picture in a moment of memories, there are not many left. I am extradited, uninvited, it's just another Saturday

Please tell me why my car is in the front yard and I'm sleeping with my clothes on, I came in through the window last night and you're long gone, gone

Let's just forget everything said and everything we did, best friends and better halves, goodbyes and the autumn night when we realized we were falling out of love

So let's go there, let's make our escape, come on, let's go there, let's ask can we stay?

The evidence presents itself accusingly, your absence speaking everything you think of me. Now that I am faced with opportunity you're not remembering

A decade ago, I never thought I would be at 23, on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me, but I guess that it comes with the territory, an ominous landscape of never-ending calamity

If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman? If I'm alive and well, will you be there and holding my hand?

You got a sticker in your face, information about the case, so you know your potential. Don't think you can extend, don't think you can extend, just comprehend

Looking at my own reflection, when suddenly it changes, violently it changes

'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind, wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

Your clothes never wear as well the next day, and your hair never falls in quite the same way, you never seem to run out of things to say

Yes, this is the campaign, slithered entrails in the cargo bay, a neutered is the vastness, hollow vacuum, check the oxygen tanks, they hibernate but have they kissed the ground?

Don't fall away and leave me to myself. Don't fall away

Welcome to the planet, welcome to existence, everyone's here, everyone's here, everybody's watching you now, everybody waits for you now, what happens next?

Now I know y'all be lovin' this shit right here, L.I.M.P. Bizkit is right here, People in the house put them hands in the air 'cause if you don't care, then we don't care

But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day and head back to the Milky Way?

Dreaming of girls, from far away points, and better things like winter flings, and longing after spring has sprung, and they fly north when winter's done, and we get burned in summer's sun.

Time to let this pass, time runs through our veins, we don't stand a chance in this threadbare time, time to let this pass

The faster we're falling, we're stopping and stalling, we're running in circles again. Just as things were looking up, you said it wasn't good enough but still we're trying once more time

Some of them rise, some of them fall, for good or bad I've known them all

Brainstorm, take me away from the norm. I got to tell you something, this phenomenon, I had to put it in a song

Don't wanna hear about it, every single one's got a story to tell,. Everyone knows about it from the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell

This song will become the anthem of your underground. You're two floors down getting high in the back room

And say, people, they don't understand, no, girlfriends, they can't understand, your grandsons, they won't understand, on top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand

When you don't think about me, do you think I deserve this? I tried to make you happy but you left anyway

Tall buildings shake, voices escape singing sad, sad songs. Tuned to chords, strung down your cheeks, bitter melodies turning your orbit around

And I've been climbing ladders through time, I've got tunnel vision but I'm doing fine, and I've been watching stars coming out of the wall, and maybe if I'm lucky I can catch them before you fall

Do you care if I don't know what to say? Will you sleep tonight? Will you think of me? Will I shake this off, pretend it's all okay?

And it's alright to pretend that we still talk, it's just for show, isn't it? It's my fault that it fell apart, just maybe you need this, and I didn't mean to lead you on

Where did I go wrong? I should have told you from the start that I'm closer than you think when we're apart

She bought him a skateboard, a rail slide, his knee tore, he traded it for drums at the local pawn shop. She left him for staring at girls and not caring when she cried because she thought Bon Jovi broke up

We get these pills to swallow, how they stick in your mouth., tastes like gold

And I fought my way to front of class to get the best view of her ass, I drop a pencil on the floor, she bends down and shows me more

I don't ever wanna be like you, I don't want to do the things you do, I never wanna hear a word you say

But I'm still trying just to figure out why this feels so wrong when it felt so right, felt so right four years ago so please don't go away, won't this feeling stay with me forever

So lay down, the threat is real when his sight goes red again

We're gonna make it on our own, we don't need anyone, lord knows we don't need you (Watch me now)

Circling, you're circling, you're circling your head, contemplating everything you ever said. Now I see the truth, I got a doubt, a different motive in your eyes and now I'm out

In your house, I long to be room by room, patiently, I'll wait for you there

For all of this, I'm better off without you. Do you regret all your loneliness?

Smeared black ink, your palms are sweaty, I'm barely listening to last demand, I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried beneath

Break through the casing, break through the casing, it's what's inside, all those things that you hide. Pull skin from your fingers, pull skin from your fingers to ignore me like always

And tell me when you leave so I can finally breathe, though suffocating isn't so bad. Blood stains all over your bed, like finger nails down my back, can you just wake me in the end?

How can you see into my eyes, like open doors, leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb

I remember waiting for you to come, remember waiting for you to call, remember waiting there to find nothing at all

Welcome to her busy dizzy life of going out and getting high and following all the latest trends while shedding all her oldest friends

This is my life, its not what it was before, all these feelings I've shared and these are my dreams, that I'd never lived before

Stacy, can I come over after school? We can hang around by the pool, did your mom get back from her business trip? Is she there, or is she trying to give me the slip?

So keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground, today's the day it gets tired, today's the day we drop out, gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel, wasting words on lower cases and capitals

Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel, my heart's in overdrive, and you're behind the steering wheel, touching you, touching me, touching you, God, you're touching me

Every time we lie awake, after every hit we take, every feeling that I get, but I haven't missed you yet

If I could find you now things would get better, we could leave this town and run forever, I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together, let your waves crash down on me and take me away

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal, red light, can't stop, so I spin the wheel, my world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up and I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white, they flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors, and I am gone

Don't worry about me, I'm gonna make it alright, got my enemies cross-haired and in my sight, I take a bad situation, gonna make it right in the shadows of darkness, I stand in the light

So one, two, three, take my hand and come with me, because you look so fine that I really wanna make you mine

For a second I wish the tide would swallow every inch of this city as you gasp for air tonight, I'd scream this song right in your face if you were here, swear I won't miss a beat 'cause I never, never have before

The words you scribbled on the walls with the loss of friends you didn't have, I called you when the time is right, are you in or are you out? For them all to know the end of us all

I can't stand to think about a heart so big it hurts like hell. Oh my God, I gave my best but for three whole years to end like this

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer. Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna

I'm not a perfect person, there's many things I wish I didn't do. But I continue learning, I never meant to do those things to you, and so, I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know

So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you, I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot away from you and if you leave here, you leave me broken, shattered I lie, I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot, then we can die

A nation dedicated to liberty, justice and equality. Does it look that way to you? It doesn't look that way to me

I backed my car into a cop car the other day. Well, he just drove off, sometimes life's okay

You can see me stand on my own again 'cause now I can see you are the antidote that got me by, somethin' strong, like a drug that got me high

So get back, back, back to where we lasted, just like I imagined, I could never feel this way. So get back, back, back to the disaster, my hearts beating faster, holding on to feel the same

I walked across an empty land, I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

She was from my hometown, I never met her, ditched her boyfriend 'cause I was better, she showed me pictures in her car. Pictures of the Beach Boys and Kelly Slater, bounced from the party 'cause the girls all hate her, she said she wants to see the stars

I push my fingers into my eyes, it's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

And I can't make it on my own because my heart is in Ohio, so cut my wrists and black my eyes so I can fall asleep tonight or die

Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab while he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag, now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick and it's all in my head

I've been up at this all night long, I've been drowning in my sleep, I've prayed for your safe place and it's time for us to leave

Smiles and her laughter, it's the only thing that I've been waiting for a time regardless of our distance and our hope grows greater, trapped by pretty eyes and letters for all time, the only thing that I've been waiting for

It's not me you're waiting for, alright, stop waiting. It's not me you're waiting for, it's time to let go, time to let it go

Should they catch us and dispatch us to those separate work camps yeah, I'll think about you, I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you with the passing of time

So let's play doctor, babe, we'll operate today, incisions must be made, you could help solve this case for me

Here comes the rain again, falling from the stars. Drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are

It took a life span with no cell mate by the long way back. Sandy, why can't we look the other way? You're weightless, you are exotic, you need something for which to care. Sandy, why can't we look the other way?

So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me. Off guard, red handed, now I'm far from lonely

Sing me something soft, sad and delicate or loud and out of key, sing me anything, we're glad for what we've got, done with what we've lost, our whole lives laid out right in front of us

'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key

You and me we're like little machines, we run around the room and mess up sheets, no one can put me to sleep except you

A thousand miles seems pretty far but they've got plains and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way

Ease up a little bit 'cause I have to have you, drink up a little bit, if you're mine, I'll find you

This was over before, before it ever began, your lips, your lies, your lust like the devil's in your hands

But that's not why I'm here, I came out here to tell you it rains in heaven all day long, I wanna find you so bad and let you know I'm miserable up here without you

Lock up your children, lock up your pets as well, it's time to panic because something terrible is mad as hell

Lately I'm alright and lately I'm not scared, I figured out that what you do to me feels like I'm floating on air, I don't need to know right now, all I know is that I believe, the very thing that got us here, and now I can't leave

Oh no, this couldn't be more unexpected and I can tell you I've been moving in so slow. Don't let it throw you off too far 'cause I'll be running right behind you

Wherever you go, I will be waiting, whenever you call, I will be there, whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright, I'm in your heart tonight

It's been a long day living with this, it's been a long time since I felt so sick. I took a long walk straight back home, I could've walked back to San Francisco

It's not your fault you feel okay, it's too late in the day. It's not your fault you feel betrayed and can't come now to play

Let me know that I've done wrong, when I've known this all along. I go around a time or two just to waste my time with you

This is probably the best, not to mention the worst idea that I have ever had. Ignoring what we've felt, overlooking what we've done, no awkward silences, no hiding any truths

Trying to create something that's not there, a spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end and I was just so happy to be out of my shell again

I swim across an ocean, it's my mattress in the basement. I'm sweatin' out excuses that would make your stomach turn.

Don't you know who I am? I'm the jaded one with pop insensitivity and when I finish struggling, we can make our way to the dance floor

Love of mine, someday you will die, but I’ll be close behind; I’ll follow you into the dark

Come, break me down, bury me, bury me, I am finished with you, look in my eyes

You said "You don't know me, and you don't even care", oh yeah, and you said "You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains", oh-yeah

Some sort of window to your right, as he goes left, and you stay right, between the lines of fear and blame, you begin to wonder why you came

Honey, why you calling me so late? It's kinda hard to talk right now, honey, why you crying, is everything okay? I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

There's always something different going on, the path I walk's in the wrong direction, there's always someone fucking hanging on, can anybody help me make it better?

I will break into your thoughts with what's written on my heart, I will break, break

Don't forget about the blue skies, sunrise, and all the space between, it's amazing how a girl like you can affect a guy like me

We were playing in the sand and you found a little band, you told me you fell in love with it, hadn't gone as I'd planned

I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me, I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home and I won't sleep tonight, till you get home, I won't sleep tonight, till you get home

If every page was torn from the magazine, would gas still drive the media machine, the products they mean us to pursue are endless, identity can leave you selfless

I'm sober now for 3 whole months, it's one accomplishment that you helped me with the one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again

I'll break bones you didn't know you had, when I'm done there will be nothing left of you for your friends to hold on to when they find you cold and blue tonight face down in a parking lot

I just wanna break you down so badly, well I trip over everything you say, I just wanna break you down so badly, in the worst way

If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Getting born in the state of Mississippi, papa was a copper, and her mama was a hippy. In Alabama she would swing a hammer, price you got to pay when you break the panorama

Whoa, I'm losing hope, there's a hole in my heart that's been cut out of stone. Whoa, cold comes cold goes, could you fill this hole? 'Cause I can't do it alone

You never go, you're always here (suffocating me) under my skin. I cannot run away, fading slowly

The stars that mystify, he left them all behind and how his children cried, he left us all behind

The inside lingo had me at hello and we go where the money goes

The name of a ghost still dancing on our tongues so bittersweet (these memories) I wish they could have taken me, struggle through tough times and destroy all your fears

Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?

I'm looking at you through the glass, don't know how much time has passed, oh God, it feels like forever, but no one ever tells you that forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

I like where you sleep here, our lips can touch, and our cheeks can brush, 'cause our lips can touch here

If I had to, I would put myself right beside you, so let me ask, would you like that? Would you like that?

I'm not mad, I'm just tired, and It makes me sad, at least it makes me something different

All of the wasted time, the hours that we've left behind, the answers that we'll never find, they don't mean a thing, tonight

It's just like him to wander off in the evergreen park, slowly searching for any sign of the ones he used to love.

You're just a sad song with nothing to say about a life long wait for a hospital stay and if you think that I'm wrong this never meant nothing to you

Turn it up, I never wanna go home I only wanna be part of your breakdown. She got caught by the four on the floor it picked her up and she'll never get let down

There is love burning to find you, will you wait for me? Will you be there? Your silence haunts me but still I hunger for you

Oh, put love on hold, young Hollywood is on the other line. Her nose runs ruby red, Death's in a double bed singing songs that could only catch the ear of the desperate

I'm living in an age that calls darkness light, though my language is dead still the shapes fill my head

This club will hopefully be closed in three weeks, that would be cool with me, well, I'm still imagining a dark lit place or your place or my place

Scratch card glory or waist low pleasure? Black eyes, nose bleeds, don't look back now. My white abode, do you remember? My white abode, but it's such a thrill just to find out...

From constant changes you have made, you'll keep inside til you have a say. We change as we get older, were not to stay, the days we walked are over

But I crumble completely when you cry, it seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye

Well, don't talk about it, write it down, but don't ask for help, I can't be honest with even myself, did you ever wish you were somebody else?

First you say you won't, then you say you will. You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on.

I guess my mind wanders off from time to time, sometimes I convince myself that all is fine in the world, It's not mine, why should I have to try to fix things I didn't create or contrive?

Just keep a hold on me don't let go, if you float away, if you float away, waiting too long for a ship to come, don't you float away, don't you float away

I was waiting for my hearse, what came next was so much worse, it took a funeral to make me feel alive

This world was never worthy, but how can I call it unfaithful? Every promise was fulfilled as decay crawled from it's throat like the dead rising from an open grave

Cause it's all right, there's nothing to stop us if it feels right then eveyrthing's fine for just one night then you go back to your life and I'll go back to mine

Turn around and cross the line, you so casually walk between function and fashion, are you dressed to kill or dressed to impress? Don't act like you can do better than this

I can't compete with all your damn ideas. This isn't working out for you or me. The truth is i'm too tired to play pretend. This is goodbye, this is the end

Now if she does it like this, will you do it like that? Now if she touches like this, will you touch her right back? Now if she moves like this, will you move her like that?

Run baby run, don't ever look back, they'll tear us apart if you give them the chance

Maybe something else I'm missing, something good and you're the reason, it's a dream but there's a real world waiting

Who's to know if your soul will fade at all? The one you sold to fool the world, you lost your self-esteem along the way, yeah

And do you ever lay awake at night? And do you ever tell yourself don't try? Don't try to let yourself down, don't try to let yourself down

Innocence meet jealousy, isn't she stunning? She'll make you smile so hard inside, make you wish you could bring back those nights

But at least I won't be out alone, I'm with my uncle and his mother, and the rest of my family's history is with me shouting "have another!" Now I'm taking all the liberties I was too scared to before, I've accepted that we're just chemicals, now bend over and touch the floor

The best thing 'bout tonight's that we're not fighting, could it be that we have been this way before? I know you don't think that I am trying, I know you're wearing thin, down to the core

My flat line inhibition is my ammunition, I'm just fighting to get by, just spit me some direction, I'll be your infection, how could you leave me behind?

Never do reply when I hint the message, I try to smell my best with a bottle of essence, get to the point, style and romance and I could never go on I could never go on

I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved, said "why you always running in place? Even the man in the moon disappeared somewhere in the stratosphere"

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'cause everything is never as it seems

And so there's a change in your emotions and all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind. Of the curl of your bodies like two perfect circles entwined

Last night I knew what to say but you weren't there to hear it. These lines so well rehearsed, tongue-tied and overloaded, you never notice

And this was all a dream and it's coming back to me, a portrait in grey scale, a perfect betrayal, and I can't even breathe with this weighing on my chest, you knew me at my best, now I can't even stand on my own

Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound, I know they're watching, they're watching. All the commotion, the kiddie like play has people talking, talking

Are you disturbed? Oh, now you care. Why do you race through my red lights? Can't understand, I'll slow it down for you

But seldom do these words ring true, when I'm constantly failing you, walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

I've been playing too much guitar, I've been listening to jazz, I called so many times, I swear she's going mad and that cellular will be the death of us, I swear, I swear

I've got those lovesick blues and I feel it more than ever, a sinking in my chest like a ship in the blue, do do do do. She was the drug I abused, I feel a rising fever, a shaking in my sleep left me broken and bruised, do do do do

So where the hell's my hope and why can't I just try? You know I've lost a lot but I won't let this die. I know I've got a friend up in the atmosphere and another reason not to fear the sky, no, not tonight

So tell me where we were and what we did last night, were there really fireworks up in the sky? Does it even matter?

My ship went down in a sea of sound, when I woke up alone I had everything. A handful of moments I wish I could change, and its unlike a nightmare that cut like a blade

Push your controlling values aside and dissect your own lifem It's not about my beliefs, It's about personal choice, It breaks your heart to see me consume but it shatters mine to see people follow you

They will not force us, they will stop degrading us, they will not control us, we will be victorious

A red light, wrong way, I'm just a game that you like to play. It's a hot start to your cold ways, you got bored then you walked away

You started with a pointless argument, you said that I forgot to compliment the dress you wore that night that I've seen a thousand times

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out, sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now, we all got our stories but please, tell me what there's to complain about

Revenge loves company, three makes it a crowd, so watch your mouth, sit this one out

This time I'll make you proud to see me over, come on day light, proud of, who you raised. Your shelter, your peacefulness

And sing for me softly, love, your song for tomorrow and tell me my name's the one that's hidden in there somewhere. And dream for me anything but dream it in color about we know the sun's still rising and we don't care

Don't you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

You didn't like my friends and your mom didn't trust me, I thought I was slick but my moves were rusty. Bought you a 12 pack, promised you sushi, sorry if I wasn't straight out of a movie

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid, the ones that we love are here with me. Lay away a place for me, 'cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way to live eternally

We're outcasts only 'cause we choose to dream. We're princes who'd rather dine with thieves. We're honest only 'cause the truth, it cannot hide

She needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time. I got a new job now on the unemployment line and we don't know how, how we got into this mess, is it God's test?

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope but failures all you know. Remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go

Wrote a note said be back in a minute, bought a boat and I sailed off in it, don't think anybody gonna miss me anyway. Mind on a permanent vacation, the ocean is my only medication, wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away

But you were drunker than high school, self-conscious and sweet, I never ever felt so cool disguised in your sheets

You know that I'm a crazy bitch, I do what I want when I feel like it. All I wanna do is lose control

Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees. So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose, if you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose to walk away, walk away, don't let her get you, I can't bear to see the same happen to you

I don't wanna take up all your time, 'cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face but you turned into a pretty big waste of my time

Daddy works a long day. He'd be coming home late, he's coming home late, and he's bringing me a surprise

I spent a whole year in airports and the floor feels like home. At least we're never alone, I lost track of the time zones, I'd call but you know

I miss you more than you'll ever know, ever know. I hear it your spirit, calls to me, drawn to meet me. I'll be there, I don't care where we go, where we go., swept away, times have changed, over now, its over now.

I'm lying 'cause I say I am fine, you are the pearl I am the swine, so break my life and take this rhyme, I'm so sorry but I do believe that all my bridges I have burned and I've earned a policy of no return

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts, if this is love I don't wanna be hanging by the neck before an audience of death

Everything you want so let me get up there, I'm the baddest baby in the atmosphere, tell me what you want so we can do just what you like

Take me to your best friend's house, goin' 'round this roundabout, oh yeah

Before I die, I'd like to do something nice, take my hand and I'll take you for a ride

I don't like walking around this old and empty house, so hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear

I left my heart with my phone in my sandcastle, I left my feelings with my wallet and my keys, I feel so stupid 'cause I came here without anything but I'm finally at ease

You think you're playing a game, well, it's playing you. I think you all look the same, but who's blaming you? Well I know that you can't help it.

If I could only find a note to make you understand, I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand

Baby you light up my world like nobody else, the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

And I'm begging you bring me back to life, I just can't stand leaving you alone tonight. It's too late to go, already taken me forever just to try you know

It's been a really really messed up week, seven days of torture, seven days of bitter, and my girlfriend went and cheated on me. She's a California dime but it's time for me to quit her

I've been floating in the night sky on a ship that's stuck on standby, your voice reminds me I'm real. I made a choice and now I wait here orbiting the earth for five long years, our lives like magnetic fields

Give me a second I, I need to get my story straight, my friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State

A fire burns inside you, fueled by everything that you've ever been through. Every battle you fight goes uphill but nothing can ever break your iron will

I been tryin' to do it right, I been livin' a lonely life, I been sleepin' here instead, I been sleepin' in my bed

It started with a whisper, and that was when I kissed her, and then she made my lips hurt

So if you wanna piss off your parents, date me to scare them, show them you're all grown up, if long hair and tattoos are what attract you baby, then you're in luck

I remember your eyes were so bright when I first met you, so in love that night. And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight, and I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry

You told me think about it, well I did, now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore, I'm tired of begging for the things that I want, I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor

Well I just met you a couple hours ago, my last night in town, hey wouldn't you know I get hooked on a girl with blue diamond eyes down here in Mexico

I don't really want to let you down, I don't ever want to leave this town, 'cause after all, this city never sleeps at night

When can we get this right, you're driving me crazy. Cheap beer and bad tattoos, no time for summer blues, I've got nothing to lose, you're driving me crazy

Who we are isn't how we live we are more than our bodies, if I fall I will rise back up and relive my glory

I was left to my own devices, many days fell away with nothing to show and the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love, grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above

It's not a walk in the park to love each other, but when our fingers interlock, can't deny, can't deny you're worth it

Everybody in the world are you with me? It's too late to try to run, we run the city

I could lift you up, I could show you what you wanna see and take you where you wanna be

The way that you left me's alright, it's alright, if I argue the point then we yell and we fight and I won't be home for the rest of the night, you might hate my words, but you know that I'm right

My head is filled with parasites. Black holes cover up my eyes. I dream of you almost every night. Hopefully I won't wake up this time

I spoke to God today and she said that she's ashamed. What have I become? What have I done? I spoke to the devil today and he swears he's not to blame and I understood 'cause I feel the same

My mind was a fortress you knew how to rupture, flanking the trenches and storming my bunker, day after day, I face the wrath of what I've made but I never thought I could feel this way at nineteen

There's a light in my heart that can't be contained. You knew right from the start that there's no one here to blame

You can drive all night, lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain, you wanna find peace of mind, lookin' for the answer

_______, remember when we used to sit alone? We wouldn't speak over the stereo because we knew we didn't have to. _______ I know it's been a long time since we were young and full of longing, but I never let you go.

And I'm, I'm out making rounds on every side of town, that I've been through, that I know to find my reason to come back home

I caught my reflection, I dropped the call, I've been medicated with cigarettes and alcohol. I got vertigo, no, I can't see straight, I got obligations though I'm usually late

It's hard enough to keep my head above the water without you trying to pull me down. Why is it that you always have to be the cement on my feet when I'm trying to swin?

Damn, I used to love this view, sit here and drink a few, main street and the high school lit up on Friday night. Down there it's another touchdown, man, this year's team is stout, I can hear 'em goin' crazy and up here so am I

You weren't the only one who thought of us that way, I spend most nights awake, wide awake

Destiny is overrated so I think I'll write my own. I don't believe it's complicated so I think I'll stay at home

I had a dream so big and loud, I jumped so high I touched the clouds

Judy's in the front seat picking up trash, living on the dole, gotta make that cash, won't be pretty, won't be sweet, she's just sitting here on her feet

Now if the cold pale light in your eyes reaches those horizon lines you know not to leave her

I'm out, nothing here to care about. What's that sound? What's that song about? It's nothing worth me sayin' aloud

It's like there's cancer in my blood, it's like there's water in my lungs and I can't take another step, please tell me I am not undone, it's like there's fire in my skin

Hey there, shadow, you didn't seem to care at all when you watched me go, I know young love is just a dream, we were only seventeen but you're the only love I've known

Ooh, and I know that time's gone _______ and now it's only like I told you, though they may wash my feet, they do not make me complete

You're the only one worth seeing, the only place worth being, the only bed worth sleeping's the one right next to you

The hardest part of moving out is I remember moving in. The hardest part of breaking my fall is I am nothing but skin

All I wanna do today is wear my favorite shades and get stoned, work a little less, play a little more, that's what this day is for

So could you tell me how you're sleeping easy, how you're only thinking of yourself, show me how you justify telling all your lies like second nature

And then I can tell myself what the hell I'm supposed to do, and then I can tell myself not to ride along with you

I'm getting more of what I've always wanted but becoming less of who I've ever been 'cause I promised myself I'd never hurt you and I did if you can't trust a liar, how can you trust me again?

Lately, all I wanna do is lay around with you and complain about the youth. How we'll never leave your room, tell me everything that bothers you

Now tell me the truth, don't make me wait too long. You have to prove that I shouldn't move on

I miss your face, you're in my head, there's so many things that I should have said, a year of suffering, a lesson learned

It will take a while to make you smile, somewhere in these eyes, I'm on your side

What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead. Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper and I can't take one more moment of this silence

The chains set to break your soul day by day, you know the choice you have to make. Freeze up and fade or be the flame that lights the way

Talk is cheap, I said that before, but you can still taste it and that's one more reason why you're never gonna make it

Go ahead and cry little girl, nobody does it like you do, I know how much it matters to you

We were dreamers, we were weapons, and legend believers, we were chosen, golden, broken and bruised

The black magic on Mulholland Drive, swimming pools under desert skies, drinking white wine in the blushing light

I don't want your body but I hate to think about you with _______. Our love has gone cold, you're intertwining your soul with _______.

If my soul was torn, would you help? Would you try and fix me? Would you help un-break me?

At the end of every week you're screaming in our streets, work hard, play hard business elite

In every town, in every place there's a boy who's tryin' to take a chance and dance and find a way to runaway with her heart, in the back of an old Ford truck, in the bar just lookin' for luck, in a pair of oh my blue eyes, let them fireworks start

Oh back when I was younger, I was told by other youngsters, that my end will be torture beneath the earth

This is how we rise up, heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train

I lose my voice when I look at you, can't make a noise though I'm trying to tell you all the right words, waiting on the right words

Will I always know this divide? Living most of this war inside, take this ghost of me with the tide to die and release my heart to come alive

Stained glass-patterned porcelain, your watercolor's running, all your paintings are fading from the walls. Miss, I miss the way you breathe, the way you twitch in your sleep, your smile, your straight teeth, and the scars along on your cheeks

Will we fight, stay up late? In my dreams I'm to blame, different sides of the bed, roll your eyes, shake my head, now we're stuck in the storm, we were born to ignore and all I got is a chance to just say I'm in love and you've got me, runaway

Can't keep my hands to myself, think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf

I like how it's been days now since you washed that yellow t-shirt, it kind of smells now, but I'm down

I am exactly what they say I am, I stand for everything that they can't stand

Shattered by an Email, your words will fade away, castle built in the sand will only last one day, I'm holding on and I don't want to let you go

We're stopping on the highway girl 'cause I want to burn my gas, there's one girl that I know I'm never gonna pass

You push and you push and I'm pulling away, pulling away from you, I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take

Should I hang my head low, should I bite my tongue? Or should I march with every stranger from Twitter to get shit done?

See that stranger coming up the hill, though you don't recognize him, I know your preacher will

When we get old, will we regret this? Too young to think about all that shit and stallin' only goes so far when you've got a head start

Give me that guitar and throw me in a crowded room, she bit her lip and kissed me hard, please drag me down the darkest night with you

But I hate that it seems you were never enough, we were broken and bleeding but never gave up, and I hate that I made you the enemy

All the lies that the papers said, you can't base your life on what you've read, it's safe and so sterilized

We were speeding together down the dark avenues, but besides of the stardom all we got was blues, but through all of that sorrow, we were riding high and the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go

Everybody tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase, I don't know if it's a phase, I just wanna feel okay, yeah

You could've asked me why I broke your heart, you could've told me that you fell apart, but you walked past me like I wasn't there and just pretended like you didn't care

Sometimes, all I think about is you, late nights in the middle of June

I do my best, but everything seems ominous, not feeling blessed, quite the opposite, this shouldn't feel so monotonous, it never rains, but it pours

I've got a ring, I think that she'd love you too, but I can't get past the fact I drag almost everyone down, painting the walls that lined the hall after school, smoke and tattoos, five years removed, hope you'd recognize me now

I always say I hate the way you look at me now and I swear, I didn't mean to be a let-down, what I broke can't be fixed with all my sorry excuses, no

So to hell with good intentions, so to hell is where I'll go, but the Devil makes exceptions for all American psychos

I'm a surface-level freak, no one's listening to me and I think I'm alone. And the walls are closing in, can't remember where I've been, man, I think I'm alone

There's a clock in my head is it wrong, is it right? I know you're scared of running out of time, but I'm afraid too

And I can see that everything repeats, it's all just drop-dead cynical, I can see it going on and on

I don't wanna suffer on the stupid things that you said. Why don't you dig the grave big enough for us?

I used to think that I deserved this, tried my best but never perfect, I was helpless and you knew it

My body's just a house and all the lights arе out, dust on the surface and everything's so ovеrgrown, I'd like to say I've learnt all that I know if I can't see me, my reflection's gone

Empty streets and stolen cars, sleeping under desert stars. It reminds me of you, everything reminds me of you

The other side, another life, chasing the great unknown. I'll never know the afterglow 'cause I can't let it go

False alarm, defeat the way I pick, the night fades, apostles of deceit and instant facts, the night shakes all around us everything starts to beat

You're a coward with a broken promise and probably thought that I'd forgotten, I wish you knew it cut right through

Still stuck in your mother's basement, talk trash, but you're like a million miles away. I'm not for your entertainment

And then she walked away, I didn't get her name, I can't explain the look on her face. She wore a sweater in summer weather
