Oh How Deslolate, The Souls Of The Weary

(verse )

I'm left here staring at the open sky,
my world is now void from all your lies,
never will i return again to that studderd life,
scarred from the after-effects of you heart,
silence lays me to my bed, sheltering me from the flying sparks,

(verse 2)

the gallows knew who i was, when i was young,
hidden from the dark burning sun,
i never was the one made to take this road,
that was meant for only you to go,
dissapearing acts from 11 years ago,
dancing in the circus's violent show.

(bridge)

oh's............

(bridge 2)

take me far from here i can't stand you smile my dear
take me far from here i can't stand your eyes my dear
take me far from here i can't stand your voice my dear
im running far away from here i cant stand you my dear

oh's...........

Camera's Can't Lie But Photoshop Can

(opening bridge)
good bye good night
the light is slowly leaving
the room, the castle will be bare
the kingdoms faultering dead air
is so abrubtly leading me to
the place i knew i needed to be, i needed to be...

(verse 1)
i am nothing short of a secret
a tale of my lasting impressions
hallow out my fathers naive game
im not the boy i was last evening
im not running free, not singing loud, not singing loud

(pre-chorus)
where do i go from here?
how do i tell them? what do i say?
im just not meant to wake up this quickly...
tell my world to stop spinning today...

(chorus)
how can you sleep with no dreams....
with who i am at your side....
the oceans roar will lead the way
to days of california greys

(verse 2)
block out the sun, oh you surrender
block out my sun, oh i'll surrender
im never going to find, what ive been digging for in my mind
certain whispers cannot be heard, from my shallow little faithful bird
capsizing winters are all about me

(chorus)
how can you sleep with no dreams....
with who i am at your side....
the oceans roar will lead the way
to days of california greys

(bridge)
whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh, oh,oh,oh (x4)

(chorus)
how can you sleep with no dreams....
with who i am at your side....
the oceans roar will lead the way
to days of california greys

TRY NOT TO COMMIT MURDER IN YOUR SUNDAY BEST

i can't feel no i cant see
the way it happened and the stains im left with
i cant believe i cant believe im the last one
standing here even more alone just me and your shotgun
for the first time your not on my mind maybe im just forgetful
for the first time i dont have to dig you out of my skull

i cant believe i cant believe this
your glory is my pain my heartbreak
oh how ill break you
i cant believe i cant believe you
turned your back on my world how fast ill run away

the train can get rid of you oh i know it will
our cinderella story ends with the slipper broken
shattered and frayed you take me as you want
and dispose of me as you see fit but i take the glass
and see our reflection in it
am i wrong breaking your fall does your body need the abuse,
am i wrong for breaking your fall
does your body still need that abuse

i cant believe i cant believe this
your glory is my pain, my heartbreak
oh how ill break you
i cant believe i cant believe you
turned your back on my world how fast ill run away

i heave my last breath for you to hold on to
till my eyes roll back
you will be the goodness people see in them
you were my last taste of the beauty of this world
a gift from the hymns, his children will read of our story for ages
his people will have a new bed tale so lets teach them of loves true avail

destroy your words before the seep from your lips
ill break you stare before you blink
you ended this so long ago but now ill finish

i cant believe i cant believe this
your glory is my pain my heartbreak
oh how ill break you
i cant believe i cant believe you
turned you back on my world how fast ill run away

THE KNIGHT'S LEADING LADY

the sunlight presses it lips against my window
reflecting off my bedposts, breaking moonlights concentration.
the flavor of days and nights past are hard to let go of
but my chains are'nt long enough i can't whisper the words i need to my love

another night, another rendevous
these fields of strawberries all know why we meet
they sing of lanes and a princess named penny
thier songs lead us where we need to be
this stage is our home my heart ready perform.

your name is sewn on my wrists im the kid in your candy store
your eyes cleanse my soul my hands my heart my wings.
you turn your head and say hi im elenore.
i flood your ears with terms of endearment
i can't clean your skin from my fingernails.

another night another rendevous
these fields of strawberries all know why we meet
they sing of lanes, and a princess named penny
the songs lead us where need to be the stage is our home
my heart...

so heres your directions, come back to the youth you left in your note.
you know it will lead you, to the yellow brick road of love.
and meet that tin man,he's got something for you that i left him.
not single second could pass us by on our way home, oh dont forget.(x2)

another night another rendevous my love
these fields of strawberries all know why we meet ya
they sing of lanes and a princess name penny
the songs lead us where we need to be
the stage is our home my heart ready perform

THE SKIES ABOVE

the skies that hold the clouds
whisper but then scream out
and pur all their junk on us
but only just because
they know the plans we have
will surely never last
the ones that they have in store
will offer us so much more

reach out your hand to them
let them fill it up with your love oh sweet love
bring it down to earth so we can scream their words
oh let us scream their words darling scream their words forever
oh darling scream their words forever


the heavens that show their love
agree with the skies above
they know that on our own in the end we'll end up alone
but with their guidance and love they'll show us the way above
all of these earthly things ya and the terrible things they bring

reach out your hand to them
let them fill it up with your love oh sweet love
bring it down to earth so we can scream their words
oh let us scream thier words darling scream their words forever
oh darling scream their words forever

this is the part of life where it's hard
we have to crawl just to get by
where we shed all our tears for the world that we know
we'll always reach for the sky

reach out your hand to them
oh sweet love bring it down to earth
so we can scream thier words forever, scream their words

DESPITE THE HIGH COST OF LIVING IT REMAINS POPULAR

on your mark ready set lets go
its time for the party to begin
the anchors tied to the ship that we came on in
the man in the backs aware of the state your heart is in
torn trenchcoat and cross in hand

lay my dearest with the noose in your grasp
i cut it to let u live the way he wanted

we're in the car crash of the century
in the world so painted in black and blue
our grace in the gravel our lives lay in the street
we pick up where we left off
we're headed towards the coast the coast of you

time creeps past the hall we're the child plays his games
we're he's hidden from the yells he knows all too well
where his world is laden with all the promises
he know's he's entitled to

cry of the beloved
cry of the sane
oh lord just come walk with me

we're in the car crash of the century
in the world so painted in balck and blue
our grace in the gravel our lives lay in the street
we pick up where we left
we're headed towards the coast the coast of you

lay my dearest with the noose in your grasp
i cut it to let you live the way he wanted
cry of the beloved cry of the sane
oh lord just come walk with me
the land of the kings and gueens
decipher where to lay our bodies down
but the man of the year knows where to take my soul
forever whoa

la da da do la la la la la la la la
la da da do la da la  la la la la la
la da da do la la la oh oh oh
la da da do la la la la la la la la
la da da do la la la la la la la la
la da da do la la la oh oh oh

take my soul forever now
take it just take it
take me soul forever now

FACADES AND ALIBIS ARE MY SPECIALTY

so this is the end
this is the last converstion
pain and torture creeping up my neck
you made me look like a fool
you created a love that was so false
and now you leave me just to pay the cost

the edge of the bridge is so inviting
so leap into the water
a patient of an ever crooked tonuge
you play the game of battered roses baby
i'll toughen up for her but trust me
trust wont ever be your only loss

i took what they gave me
a pill for tears and broken hearts
but it didnt draw my sight right back to place
she is now the one oh we're gunna dance right in the streets
her smile replacing your eyes is enough for me

so the edge of the bridge is so inviting
so leap into the water
a patient of an ever crooked tongue
you play the game of battered roses baby ill toughen up for her
but trust me trust wont ever be your only lose

my god my savior save me now
let us do this one more time
let my heart break and unwind
so you can put it back together
for you and for you and her

so the edge of the bridge is so inviting
so leap into the water
a patient of an ever crooked tongue
you play the game of battered roses baby ill toughen up for her
but trust me trust wont ever be your only loss

so the edge of the bridge is so inviting
so leap into the water
a patient of an ever crooked tongue
you play the game of battered roses baby ill toughen up
for her but trust me trust wont ever be your only loss

Here are the lyrics to two of our songs. Learn them. Sing them at shows.

The Skies Above

The skies that hold the clouds
Whisper, but then scream loud
And pour all their junk on us
But only just because

They know the plans we have
Will surely never last
The ones that they have in store
Will offer us so much more

The Heavens that show Their love
Agree with the skies above
They know that on our own
In the end, we'll end up alone

But with Their guidance and love
They'll show us the way above
All of these earthly things
And the terrible things they bring

From the Bottom (of the Sea)

This pressure's getting higher
Causing my lungs to break
And this water level's rising
Taking me in it's wake

So will you rescue me
From the bottom
So will you rescue me
From the bottom of the sea
