I'd repeat every mistake
If I could have more time to hear you
laugh at me and turn me down
Until my name disintegrates,
and though it never seems to take
as long for it to fall apart
you have to turn your back on where you came from
to get where you want to go.
This is the first time
I can explain it
I underestimated
How long it could take to get it right.
This is the first time
And it was fated
I heard you say that
You don't want to be with me, but
You could be my interstate
my requiem
my tourniquet
and what you see
can be a nightmare
if you paint a ghost in it.
But it never seems to take
as long to fall apart
and if you turn your back on where you're going
then you can still make it home.
This is the worst time
I've ever had here
you made me sad dear
and I don't know if I can forgive you yet.
This is the worst time
and I can't stand it
or understand how it
could be so difficult to make out
Like a bandit
I'll steal your heart
I'll tear it out
and I'll break it apart
Just like I planned it.
When my heart starts breaking
always understated
only you can save me
tell me how to make it.
You were faking
I was intimidated
only you can break me
don't know if I can take it.
This is the last time
It's gonna matter
I'll climb the ladder to the edge
I'll choose my own adventure.

Every Day
03:58

Every day escapes
before you realize
they've got us on our backs
and we can't see the skies.
I keep myself distant from the lies,
I go outside,
and I leave the bad news behind
Blue skies falling down
Green grass coming up
Every day will come around
But every day is not enough
I can't change it anyway,
Don't know what to believe
And it's no surprise
That there's no empathy
She used to know that better days are still to come,
why does she never seem to notice till they're gone?
You wake up
With haze in your head
Been playing dead for so long
You wait for that feeling again
To break in and mend,
You're way torn.

Undeserving

Loyal devotion,
plans set in motion.
Abandon oversight,
Call it a rewrite.
Pressure to want more,
a rival, adventure.
We scale the fissure,
minds on addition.
Erasing the past
with all your dedication,
taking back your innocence.
replacing facts,
now history's reversing,
how can someone be so undeserving?
failed to quell them,
tried to dispel them,
official decision
deny its existence.
void of emotion,
two halves a notion.
suggestion a splinter,
arrive on a mission.
replacing the past
with altered dedication,
taking back your ignorance.
chasing facts,
now history's reversing,
how can someone be so undeserving?
these days,
we got ourselves tied up
because we dunno how to focus
but that's okay,
I’ll forget the words to say
and you will never notice
It's not a riot,
We're not accomplices,
But you'll regret it
If you fight us
It's alright
It's not an argument
But I don't think
I'm gonna try it
replacing the past
with altered dedication,
taking back your entertainment,
changing facts,
now history's reversing,
how can someone be so undeserving?

The Turning
02:38
|

Sleep is eternal
and life is so limited
time is a mountain we're all gonna climb
then at the top
there's no peak, just a precipice,
more like a pit that you find yourself falling down.
maybe the answer to why we exist
is a meaningless number,
a goblet of cider.
so why not just take the few days you have left
to go have some fun
and tell someone you love them
you're not gonna keep the few friends you have left
if you seem like you don't care what happens to them.
but it's gonna take a little more love than that
to make this into something more than
fading footsteps in the sand
when the tide comes in
don't blame the ocean if you drown
just know the razor's edge
is not afraid of what it cuts through
they say the truth is the greatest lie
look what it's done to you
would you even recognize it
if it isn't the answer you thought you were looking for
since you got sidetracked
and thought you were heading toward
some kind of place
where the feeling exists
inside of every heart you connect with
maybe the answer to why we exist
will fall with the ashes
will rise with the turning.

Stay
04:17
|

|
I'm sorry that it hurts,
I wish that I could lie
And tell you everything's alright
But that would make it worse.
I wish that I could say
I'm sorry and I'm wrong,
But this is still my song
So I won't accept the blame
Even if the words I say are true,
You can't trust me any more than I do
But you should stay
Please
Stay
I want to take away
All the pain
All the stress
All the fear you thought you left behind
I'm sorry that I'm right
You'll never be alone
So call me on that phone
And tell me you're alive
I wish that I could say
I never left your side
You came in with the tide
You'll never be the same
Even if the words you say are true,
I can't trust you any more than you do.
Are you happy now that your love is gone?
Are you leaving now that our true love can rise again?
Are you leaving now that your love is gone?
Are you happy now that our true love can rise again?
What's at stake?
No mistakes.
Remember why you came here.

Brick Walls
03:20

I climb brick walls
to lay down concrete meaning
until I fall to get where I belong,
Singing this song....
This pavement stains the ground
to separate
Our voices, hollow sounds
we let escape
They built up all these walls
to separate
mine crumbled long ago,
now its too late
I want your defense to crumble too
Won't your defenses crumble you?
