 Singled Out

You could soak up the sun
But you'd be all dried out
And we'd be cold in the dark
Wondering who put the light out.
 
you'll find your peace in the darkness
cuz you think you're the only one.
when the light comes upon us
you'll kill cuz you hate being wrong.  

Only war of the moonlight
Reveals a sun we can't see
And the trees start to whither;
It becomes hard to breathe.
 
you'll find your peace in the darkness
cuz you think you're the only one.
when the light comes upon us
you'll kill cuz you hate being wrong.  

It'd be sugared and sweet
The world would be gleaming
And hot as you are, burnt flesh
Just isn't appealing.

you'll find your peace in the darkness
cuz you think you're the only one.
when the light comes upon us
you'll kill cuz you hate being wrong.

    Sunset

let go, let it out, let me help you hold your hand
and as the croud steps back, I'll catch your fall
I'll hold you up.  I wont ever let you down, so let me in.
    I'll wake you when the lights go out
    and we'll dance till the wine's gone.
    I'll wake you whent he lights go out
    and we'll dance till the wine's gone.
In the morning, let me sleep.  Let me dream of you.
I don't want to hear goodbye, just leave a note that says
you love me, you'll return.  Say you'll never let me down
and I'll never question your word.
    If the sun never rises, it never has to end.
    We can stay here forever, never let go again.
    If the sun never rises, the sun never rises.
I'll wake you when the lights go out
and we'll dance till the wine's gone.
I'll wake you whent he lights go out
and we'll dance till the wine's gone.
    Even just a fairy tale would mean a world of difference
    let me convince you I'm not so wrong, and what makes right.
    I just want to hold your hand, lets accept this night as hope.

    Blamed

There's something out there for us
Something we can't explain
Pinpoint your inhibition, and make it go away.
    We're all a little scared,
    We're all still alone.
    And who's to blame?
    I'm sick of pointed fingers,
    I do it too much myself
    And who's to blame?
It's too far up to climb, but I'm scared to look down.
There's only hope to cling onto don't take my hope away.
    We're all a little scared,
    We're all still alone.
    And who's to blame?
    Can't anyone hold my hand?
    It's cold from neglect
    And who's to blame?
You take it all back, all you ever said
You say you never loved me, that can't be what you meant.
You say now the slate's clean no turning back, it's changed.
I just can't accept that nothing will ever be the same.
    We're all a little scared
    We're all still alone
    And who's to blame?
    Can't anyone hold my hand?
    It's cold from neglect.
    And who's to blame?
No, not me.  It can't be me.

Simon Says


Nothing wrong with having things your way
Nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with keeping things moving
Forget I ever spoke.
I'll close my mouth, close my mouth
you don't have to scare me anymore.
Nothing wrong with having things your way
Nothing wrong with that.

Nothing wrong.

Nothing wrong with wanting to get away
as long as it remains a thought.
Cuz it's okay to dream; don't stay asleep
There's nothing wrong with laughs.
I'll cut it out, cut it out, cut it out
I wont ever talk back to you again.
Nothing wrong with a little emotion
I understand why you're mad.

Nothing wrong with me.

One day, one day.
I swear I'll get away from you.
One day when you make a wrong move
that's the day that I am through.
One day, if you treat me wrong
Nothing wrong, nothing wrong.

Nothing wrong.

Nothing wrong with abiding his rules
hasn't anybody told you?
Nothing wrong with keeping quiet
with all of the things you do.
Nothing wrong with not having a say
what the hell is wrong with you?
Nothing wrong with doing what he says
ain't that what I'm supposed to?

Nothing wrong.

Eyes Wide


Guilt fills your eyes
I hate knowing
that I was right afterall.
But the unknown
the undiscussed
is still pounding inside my head.

The answers question me,
Why can't I walk away?
I will give you a thousand chances
Cuz I wanna find out
where this leads.

I'm not perfect
but who is
I'm beside myself.
There's so much more
in front of us.
Won't you take me there?

The answers question me,
Why can't I walk away?
I will give you a thousand chances
Cuz i wanna find out
where this leads.

Curious.
I want to know
where this goes.

The answers question me
why can't I walk away?
I'll give you a thousand chances
Cuz I wanna find out
where this leads.

Not A Chance


Prepare your sacrifice
make it a sweet goodbye
cuz no goodbye is as
sweet as my hello.
Strip down your confidence
don't tell me it doesn't lie
it's all a mask from pain
yeah, I should know.

Hold up, what you scared of?
I don't understand.
It's no use hiding cuz
I'm not giving up.

Let your goddamned guard down
let me in your arms.
It's a cold, cold night when
your comfort walls surround.
If you don't dare trust me,
you'll make a sad mistake
cuz you'll be sleeping cold
and all alone.

You make it seem so easy.
How do you make it seem so
easy to be happy all alone?

Hold up, what you scared of?
I don't understand.
It's no use hiding, cuz I-
I'm not giving up.

You stare, jaw open,
as I just push right through.
I want you and you
can't keep me away.
You're scared, you're unsure
you think I might destroy
If you live in fear you wont
ever find out.

Hold up, what you scared of?
I don't understand.
It's no use hiding, cuz
I'm not giving up.

I Think I know


I look at you,
and say you don't know
a thing about me.
I look at you,
but you don't know
I know what I'm getting into.
I think I know what i'm getting into.

Don't you dare take it back.

I look at you,
and I don't know what you
want to hear.
I look at you,
I smile at you cuz I know
it's not over. 
I know it's not over.

Don't you dare take it back.

I see you,
and I know exactly
why I need you.
Do you see me?
Do you see
that there's nothing
to be scared of.
I'm not scared of anything, yet.

Don't you dare take it back.

Please don't leave.

[currently between titles]


She lost her wings in a car accident
Her shadow flew away
She lost her hope in a hospital hall
when her legs gave way.
She couldn't run, nor soar the sky
She couldn't turn back time.

How do you fly?
How do you fly away?

Monsters crept along the wall
they wouldn't go away.
She spent her nights sorry for herself
in dreams about the sky.
Close your eyes and fly with me
her angel held her close.
But she always fell down to the Earth
and woke with widened eyes.

How do you fly?
How do you fly away?

She lost her wings in your car accident.
Your angel passed away.
Your chin held high you touched the sky
wingless and unafraid.

How do you fly?
How do you fly alone?

Missing Persons

 

Come to me, take my hand, look at me

and we both know that this isn't gonna be easy.

Well we've come a long way and still have

strength left but there's no way to know if it'll be enough.

I'm trying to be the girl of your dreams

but I don't know anything about her.

You look at me close, I feel judged,

stripped naked and you know just how to please me.

 

The cold, cold sea opens up my eyes

Stung by the wind and by the sand,</FONT>

I don't like what I see.

I'm looking at your cold blue stare

And I'm weakened by your tears.

 

If the words come out backwards and you laugh

at me, then I'll hate myself forever after.

But I can't seem to speak, which works out

just fine, all we hear is my heart beating faster.

and if I breathe any louder, I'll ruin this moment

and I don't want it to be over.

Take this hope, he said, take it with you,

in the shape of a shell from the water.

If it holds strong without fracture from now on

and after we might someday find eachother.

And then you were gone.

The cold, cold sea opens up my heart

 

My feet lapped by the waves,

My hair dances in smoke.

I let the crucifix fall,

And never look back.

I let the crucifix fall,

And never look back.

 

And then you were gone,

And you never looked back.

 

+++++++

 

And She Says Sweetheart

 

Wake up you with the prettiest face I'd ever seen

Get up you with the smile just like the magazine

look at me all yoru glitter wont defend you this time

no i wont be fooled by your sparking shine

 

not gonna let you make me weak at the knees

not gonna let you tower over me

not gonna let you do whatever you fuckin' please

i'm gonna stand strong this time.

 

There is something so infantile about the way you move

emphasizing your innocense the way you do

tell the truth girl behind your swimming eyes of blue

this time lies wont be capable of saving you

 

not gonna let you make me weak at the knees

not gonna let you tower over me

not gonna let you do whatever you fuckin' please

I'm gonna stand this time.

 

I'm gonna stand strong.

Not gonna let you, not gonna let you in

No I'm not gonna let you win.

 

Hey now pretty dont be lookin so damn pitiful

you've always had your way cuz you're so damn beautiful

never been placed under someone elses control

but i'm gonna lead things this time

 

not gonna let you make me weak at the knees

not gonna let you tower over me

not gonna let you do whatever you fuckin' please

i'm gonna stand strong this time.

Lie to Me

 

I'd love a lie, a lie to make me feel better

why can't you be that way?

you tear me down in fear of together

why can't you just lie to me?

I'm full of care, I'm full of hope

say you love me and I wont say no

 

Just before we fall

I'll hold you.

Wash me down, wash me down
gather all my strings and hold me together.
the wind'll pull me like a paper kite
and I'll just follow the weather.
I'm more than weak,
it's hard to speak beyond a whisper.
so hold me down, lie to me
and make me feel better.

Just before we fall
I'll hold you.

A nasty web, a tangled mind
I want to be on my own side.
I would rather if it were true, but say
"I love you" either way.

Lie to me, lie to me.

Make me feel cared for.
Take me down, tie me up
and i'll dance like a puppet
one more dance.
Just this one more chance
to lie to me, lie to me,
and mean every word.
Every word.

Just before we fall
I'll hold you.

The Best I Have to Offer


I've got the chocolate chips

you bring the onion dip

and we'll have a party to ourselves.

I've got so many awful stories

so many awkward kisses

so many accidental insults to say

I've got so many unplanned problems

so many laughs, so random

so many I-just-don't-know-what-to-say's

So if you hug and kiss me

till a limb or two goes numb

I wont bother mentioning it.

No I wont bother mentioning it.


Would've been so much easier

if it were just a kiss, any old thing.

Would've been so much easier

but kisses from you

are the best thing.


I've got so many bad hair days

so many unplanned problems

and tears waiting to cry.

A sweaty palm and a microphone

I've got so much that's spontaneous and

I know that I'm a little awkward

and a little off balance

but I would give all these things to you

and if you let me,

I will love all of your sweet imperfections too.


Would've been so much easier

if it were just a kiss, just any old thing.

Would've been so much easier

but this feels like the best thing.

Would've been so much easier.


But this is more than you will ever know

and I will love you more than I can ever show.

You will never truly know.

...Or for Worse


where would I hide?

where would you be?

why does time collide

splitting hopes and walking ropes that

are thin and loosely tied.


trying to stand and being pushed down

trying to find how to better the crowd

look beyond what you see I'm waiting for you

Struggling to be more than I am.


Would you hold me?

Hide from me?

Am I wrong, please tell me I am.

Is it worth it to be lonely

cuz sometimes I already am.


 

trying to stand and being pushed down

trying to find how to better the crowd

look beyond what you see i'm waiting for you

Struggling to be more than I am.


where have you gone?

where am I now?

i'm so lost, so breathless and frail

if you love me, ever loved me

I'm sorry, I know I've failed.


Sometimes I wish I could see you

the stars shine for you

sometimes I wish I could see you

the stars shine for you.


trying to stand and being pushed down

trying to find how to better the crowd

look beyond what you see I'm waiting for you

struggling to be more than I am.


 

The stars shine for you.
