Almost Beautiful

Shift the head back & look through the red glass at a world burning black, it's hard but I go on in a room smaller than this song, I know enough to realize it's not who's wrong or right & I've seen enough through your eyes, worlds within worlds magnified.
It's almost beautiful to watch explosions of the heart, it's almost beautiful to watch the skies we knew turning black, from up here I see fine.
Inside your world I feel small compared to everything you said I'd need, lose your hold on dreams the innocent wept today do you taste their pain? I know enough to realize that we all die alone & I've seen enough through my eyes worlds within worlds again.
When will the sky open up & take me home? Back to the stars to my world from up there I see fine.

The Lines You Draw

Each day another day, time's not on my side & today won't replace the wasted days, I'd give you my world to make you see, but I created a world for you in which I don't exist.
The lines you draw on my wrist won't go away & I'll remain here waiting for the fall.
I don't think I can breathe here without you, I'm drowning in your sickened game, swallow your lie swallow my time, waiting for you to fall back down to me.
Come down & meet me underground.

Stars

Look inside this box of pain & see a glimpse of everything that will never burn your eyes again. Breathe a short life into everything that's dead to you & everything that will never be again.
Coz you said goodbye to everything that made you feel alive.
You fell for the stars but they didn't fall for you & they will not fall.
Look inside this box of lies every time you realize you'll never live outside of your skin. Give all the vampires one last look into the light nothing will ever be as real again.
I used to see stars in your eyes, blacken the sun so the stars can shine.

Take Away

All the love disintegrated, all the love died in here, I can feel the pain behind her eyes, her cold stare freezes feelings & makes everything dead around her, I can hear the pain behind her words.
And she said, I'm sick of trying to be something I'll never be & I'm tired of being alone I don't think I'll make it on my own, she came here to take love away.
All the love suffocated, all the love is lost in here, I can feel the pain behind her eyes, she shares thoughts for few to listen & burns everything around her, I can hear the pain behind her words.
She came here to take love away today & I can only close my eyes coz what I see deceives & I can't believe that you would take love away from me again.

Save the Pain

The silence kills & I'm on fire, I've got you on my tongue, why can't you hear what I need you to say? I wish I could be anything but,
I save the pain for you & make you feel what I've been through.
Lies for truth & I'm so tired, I want what I can't have, why can't you look at what I need you to see? I wish I could be something but,
Everyone came here to burn love today & everyone gave up on hope today, but I save the pain for you & make you feel like I do.

Cleveland (Remix)
03:59
|
|||
|
I woke up next to your ghost. This empty house is so cold. Black carpet, purple couch. Orange skies & bloodshot eyes. I knew you were leaving. I didn't say anything. By now, you're halfway to Cleveland. I should've asked you to stay.
Well, what if I did? Would it change anything? Would you turn your car around & unpack all your things? And stay in bed with me?
I found a picture of you. The only one I still have. Hidden in a box. Brown eyes & blonde dreadlocks. I knew you were leaving. I didn't say anything. Right now, you're somewhere in Cleveland. I should've asked you to stay.
Was this the last night I'd ever spend with you? Was this the last time I'd ever see you? I should have tried, tried to change your mind. I should've held on to you. Cleveland can wait for you.
Turn your car around & unpack all your things. Turn your car around or keep driving anyway. So far away from me.

Over these lines I'm ablaze. The fire in my skin crawls & keeps me up for days. I'm fighting sleep, Itch til it bleeds & fall through me & find a better friend than me.
I can't wait to watch you breathe again. Fuck your life & burn the ties that bind me here.
Over these lines I've gone insane. It's hard to stay alive in this dead town. Say goodbye to another nobody & fall through me & find a better friend than me.
I will be missed...

Said & Done (Acoustic)
04:03

Sometimes I go a little crazy. I'm not always broken. I'm not always down. I don't want you to see me like this. I'm on fire when you're near. So stay away from me.
I have nothing to say to you now. I've said enough & it gets me nowhere. There is nothing left to do now. I've done enough & it gets me nowhere.
Sometimes I don't know why I try. I'm not always sober. I'm not always high. Every time I fail I try a little harder, but It pushes you away. So far away from me.
You are the light that I can't find my place in. You are the dark that I can't find my way in. In time I'll understand. I just don't know how right now.

Hold on to silence tightly & keep you waiting but the answers never come. The answers are lies. My silence shows weakness, but I will not speak. My silence pushes you away, but I will not speak.
My friends betrayed me. They were behind my back. My friends broke silence. Confessed behind my back. Things you should never know. They fucked it up for me.
I'm still claiming innocence but I have nothing to gain from this. My answers are lies. Your questions point fingers, but I will not speak. Your questions never sleep, but I will not speak.
I'll remain silent. I hope you will forgive. I can't lie my way out of this. My guilty silence gives me away. I can't lie my way out of this.

I shift my head back & look through the red glass at a world burning black. It's hard but I go on in a room smaller than this song. I know enough to realize it's not who's wrong or right. I've seen enough through my eyes. Worlds within worlds magnified.
It's almost beautiful to watch explosions of the heart. It's almost beautiful to watch the blue skies turning black. From up here I see fire.
Inside this world I feel small compared to everything I thought I'd be. Memories fade away. I lost my hold on dreams I still taste the pain. Coz I know enough to realize that I'll die alone. I've seen enough through these eyes. Worlds within worlds again.
When will the sky open up & take me home? Back to the stars, to my world. From up there I see fire.
