Always passed the day with broken words
That never meant a thing. I wonder if you ever
Cared enough to smile. I couldn't make you stay with just a sigh.
I can't be left alone to sympathize
With words set on a page, I always
hear them in your voice and see your eyes
Staring back and looking straight through mine.
All my life I never knew the rules
I thought you'd break them with me
But now
I see how it is.
Keeping this inside is harder than
I'd ever let it seem. You wonder why you never
Know what's on my mind.
You fucked me up the only time I tried
Getting back to good is just a myth
And I never believed. I never try
You never try, we never try.
And if we did, I'd sort of wonder why.
All my life I never knew the rules
I thought you'd break them with me
When I found you
It'd be perfect
And all my life I never thought I could
Give you away once you were mine
But now
I see how it is.
You know me now
It's no surprise that you want out

Come back around, and see, when you had
everything you lost.
Inside, I question me, and I
Guess I know it's wrong.
To make you feel ashamed, to give up
everything I meant, when I meant it
I guess that -makes- -me- -want- -to- tell you
I am a liar
And when you say it's over
You better make damn sure, you mean what you say
And when you say it's over
Don't be surprised when I say ooooo

If I ever settled down
With a woman who's good for me
Could I ever be so happy
As I thought that I would be?
And if I ever figured out
The reason why I'm here
And it wasn't good enough
Would you help me disappear?
'Cause I can't take it anymore
To know that you exist
I've broken all the promises I've made
I guess I can't be surprised that this is how it ends.
But if I ever broke the rules
Just once in my shallow life
And told you how it is
Would it break you, could you handle it?
The nature that you spread
The sickness that you bring
When you hold back the flood
With the heel of your moccasin
I can't take it anymore
To know that you exist
I've broken all the promises I've made
I guess I can't be surprised that this is how it ends.

I won't take you by the arm
and lead you back to the places you belong
because it's alright, being like that person that you are
And you were running out of time
to find that place in your mind
but I trust you, you'll do what you have to.
Isn't it nice
To have somewhere else to belong to?
Isn't it nice?
Don't you want that for everyone, no matter all the things you've done to me?
When you said it, "Come along,"
You never really mentioned for how long
Imagine
My surprise when I found out
You went away
Far away from everyone
And me too,
Yeah, you'll do what you have to.
Isn't it nice
to have somewhere else to belong to?
Isn't it nice? And is it
Cold under your skin
Where you've given all your friends
to the world?
Cast them out to birds of prey?
But it's alright
You're a different person anyway.
Yeah it's alright,
Why expect a lie to stay the same?
It's all right,
It's all alright, and everything's okay.

Keep all the times
all the hurt you locked away
You're a floating dream
A fleeting glance at what I am
And what I tried to be this time
I still miss you and probably always will
The memories of all the things that never did
And everything feels cheaper like sleeping with a ghost
Who doesn't know my name
Please, I don't want to tell you
I'm just a liar
And the world won't remember us
Please, I don't want to tell you
this wasn't real, because
it's the best thing I've ever done but
Keep the photographs
You never took, you'll never take
Write inside that book
All of the words you'll never say,
because they just might come out wrong
I am only waiting here
'Cause I've got nowhere better to be
Maybe that's the only reason
You stopped to sit with me
Please, I don't want to tell you
I'm just a liar
And the world won't remember us
Please, I don't want to tell you
This wasn't real, because
it's the best thing I've ever done but
One more time I
Wait for this to
Come and make me
Whole again.
All I see is
All you are, my darling, yeah
All I see is you

When I fought off
all my demon souls and I
Found you out. Oh-oh
When I taught you
About my elephant
And I laid you down, Oh-oh
I know you weren’t
The lady in my bed
I told you everything I knew
I know you weren’t
The lady in my head
When I was ly-y-ing with you
So I walked off
All the pain residing
inbetween my legs, oh-oh
When I woke up
From the dream you left me in
I lost my way
All the way
Down, I know you weren’t
The lady in my bed
I told you everything I knew
I know you weren’t
The lady in my head
When I was ly-y-ing with you
And all I said to you
Was “Don’t make me go tonight”
And I guess I didn’t care
It was all gonna be alright

All the rusted wings in this
Shipyard for crows
Never learned to fly never
learned the reds of the rose.
And while they wait for a
single happy song
They miss all of the waltzes and the
Melancholy sing-a-longs.
They may not be as sweet as when I wrote them down for you
But the darkness still retains all its bite.
So if your jaw is rusted and your ears sewn shut.
Won't you please think of me tonight.
You burned up in the sun, you know,
But only your eyes
Your body's still right here,
falling victim to the flies
They don't even like you,
just too hungry not to eat
And you can't tell them not to,
'Cause you practice what you preach
You may not be as sweet as when I first had tasted you
But the falsehood still retains all its bite.
So if your jaw is rusted and your ears sewn shut,
Won't you please think of me tonight.
Won't you please think of me…
Tonight I wonder if I got broken
Or if you got broken first
And now that nothing ever happens
What's making it worse?
What's making it worse?

I already know that I’m just getting by
You’re not revealing anything you’re not telling me why
But I guess I just wanted some kind of friend to not judge me
And you’re not it.
And all I ever really wanted to know is
If you’d still be around
But that’s a longshot, I already know
Getting it out and getting it in sound so similar,
But they’re quite the opposite things
Would anyone like you, if you told the truth
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
And all I ever really wanted to know is
If I really knew you
But I don’t. No, no no
A plexiglass plaster cast scribble collage
Not the least bit consoling, and perfectly wrong
I don’t need to want you if you don’t want to want me
In spite of how it seems.
And all I ever really wanted to know is
why you try so hard
For something you don’t want

I stand by this tower that I never chose
Firmly attached to an ornament rose
Just by the finger, not anything else
Everything else is already knocked down
Everything else is already knocked down
And all of the grass where the caravans lay
Every day it grows farther away, ’til the
Green of my life’s just the stem of the rose
Everything else, I can’t help where it goes
Everything else, I’ve just learned to let go.
All of my friends say I’m just seeing stars from star-
ing way too long at these dead color bars
But I’ve got in you something I cannot doubt
Everything else is already knocked down
Everything else is already knocked down

The world
and all her friends
have come to meet you
again.
But you'll
shut the door
and never
let them in.
And everyone thinks it's perfect
except for you and me.
So I'm sorry I can't make you see
and I'm sorry they can't see.

All you are is a game
So open, spread, but so lame
And I would take you
but there's so much time
to fake my way by
You're special to someone, but he's not me
I've tried so hard to be him, I'll never be
And you know you deserve him
so why do you try so hard
when you know it can't be?
Images and firesides
I kissed you there, but it was only one night

I don’t care
about your name
I just needed someone to blame
I don’t care
Where you are
You left on a shooting star
So now you’re probably up there
With the moon
I don’t get
You at all
I thought you swore off that alcohol
It makes you sick
It makes you bleed
It makes you say things you don’t mean
I guess you probably
Meant them after all
Where did he go
When he found out that
You were a fake and he didn’t want you?
Where did he go
All of the times that
You weren’t interesting enough
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
Oh, and if you go
I won’t be too angry
Birthday wishes you forgot to say like they
Meant nothing
And I forgot your name,
But always remembered your smile
Our memory’s such a fickle thing
I guess that I can’t claim to have said any
Thing worth remembering
But did you lie when you said I’m not
Boring?
You know you didn’t have to do that,
I’d rather you not, I can
Stand on my own, I can guard my own
Spot in this life with no illusions or lies
When your head’s in the ground I’ll be staring you in the
And I forgot your name,
But always remembered your smile
Our memory’s such a fickle thing
I hope you didn’t think I’d waste another night thinking about you
And I forgot your name,
But always remembered your smile
Our memory’s such a fickle thing

Don’t wait up
You’ll find yourself before
I get back home
Don’t wait up
I’m busy giving myself
A panic attack
Don’t wait up
I’ll visit you someday when I
Learn how to live
I’ll tell you
How beautiful you are and
How much I can see it in your kids
And then I’ll let you know
I messed up
And then I’ll get the nerve
For the first time ever
To try and kiss you
But I’m far too late
Like I’ve always been,
Like I already am, don’t wait up
Don’t wait up
It’s not like my heartache ever
Stopped you before
You’ll do whatever
You want
There’s no doubt about that
Then apologize
You didn’t know
And then I’ll get the nerve
For the first time ever
To try and kiss you
But I’m far too late
Like I’ve always been,
Like I already am, don’t wait up
And then I’ll get the nerve
To try and get away from you
But I can’t un-care
I’m not going anywhere
Bolted firmly to the ground
Don’t wait up

Get over yourself
You never mattered that much
The walls you built up
With knowledge and noise
Are all falling
Down because you
Can’t ignore her now
And now you know you’re
Just like everyone
You’re selling out like you
never thought you would.
And now you know
something’s wrong.
You’re over love, but somehow you’re still in it
You quit the game but it’s all beginning again-
-st your will, you are shaking
You’re over me, but somehow you’re still here and
You hang around ‘cause you think I might need you the way
I used to before
You only pretend
Not to care to match the fact that I
really don’t
and I can’t now
Get over yourself
I scratched this tape off my wrists all by my-
self, I’m only here now ‘cause it’s warmer than you ever were
You sold me out like I
never thought you would
And now you know
something’s wrong.
You’re over love, but somehow you’re still in it
You quit the game but it’s all beginning again-
-st your will, you are shaking
You’re over me, but somehow you’re still here and
You hang around ‘cause you think I might need you the way
I used to before
Well it’s never coming back
Never coming back
Get over yourself
Get over yourself
Get over yourself
You’re over love
It’s time

I see you cross the floor with the one you love in hand
As if I never mattered
As if I wasn’t cool
But you know the truth
There was nothing without me
There was nothing without me.
I wasn’t only the
Distraction I came to be,
Rebranded retrospectively
As if I didn’t know
Exactly what you thought
But it was easier for
So I let you kill the truth.
And it’s not like you to be so sure about
Anything
Anything
But now you know
That there’s no turning back
From what we become
But you know the truth,
There was nothing without me
There was nothing without me.

Repugnant memories
of when you first met me
The words you said, line for line
And how I hung on each one
— Looking for a sign, so desperately,
if only, if only, if only I knew
If I knew that giving you more could
Make you hate me
I’d have to starve all my friends
You always seemed so real,
So different, but still
So different from me
I would deceive myself and you
Wouldn’t tell me the truth
Who knew you’d lose my heart, either way?
Did you think I’d ever shut up if you
Didn’t tell me to?
Good thing you let me go away, what a favor you did, alright, yeah
Repugnant memories
of when you first met me
Repugnant memories
of when you first met me
Repugnant memories
of when you first met me
Repugnant memories
of when you first met me
If time’s unending will you come back soon?
If time’s unending, eventually
If time’s unending, that’s an awful lie
I know you’ll never have time for me

Beat up in vicious love
Too cold to find you fickle
Hell’s chant and regal rhyme
Replacing you
But you’re not here anymore
Even ones made to fool
The eyes into seeing miracles
That could never be true
They could never be true
Strange hands shaking hard
I’m too afraid to touch them
To give them what they do not want
Oh how I’ve done it
So many times before
Who knew my mind could fool
The eyes into seeing miracles
That could never be true,
Oh, could you see the way you danced
Across that room all by yourself?
But I saw myself standing there
Would I have ever learned it wasn’t real?

When Sunshine rockets into the air
When Sunshine’s fever has broken
While Crusty laughs and the lichen
Wriggles back and forth
While Sunshine’s rays are still dropping
And your skin’s starting to choke
Just remember that we’ve always forgotten
The operation that we needed the most.
The operation that we needed the most.
A broken bottle, an asset
It defines what you are
The eye inside of this cyclone
Lie the remnants of a shooting star
And Sunshine’s rays are still dropping,
To get a peek at her host.
But just remember that we’ve always forgotten
The operation that we needed the most.
And I would exit through this door
If I were you, but you’re not me
And everything is open-shut
In this town on a tripwire
And you’ll see
And you’ll see
And you’ll see, and you’ll see
And you’ll see
Oh, Sunshine.

The way you move
And ricochet
Off every word
That I say
It makes me so
So afraid
To ever, say
anything at all
So I have
to lose
There's no way to
Change your mind
I'm okay
Just always late
Just always insincere
I don't know you
Slowly forgetting how to pretend to
And would I give in if I
Didn't think that it would hurt me
more than I hurt you?
If all the words aligned
Came crystalline
And whole in my head
You're so strange now
Why don't I
Understand?
It's really all
That hurts in this
I'm okay with this "The End"
But you were still
the only one
The only thing I could touch
How can the fire that made me
Be only the mirage of a girl that I liked way too much?
I don't know you
Slowly forgetting how to pretend to
And would I give in if I
Didn't think that it would hurt me
more than I hurt you?
If all the words aligned
Came crystalline
And whole in my head
Then you would see I didn't lie
I didn't mean to change my mind
The world is full of bitter men
Who tried too hard to understand
I won't become
Another one of them
I will trust you
Like I should do
Even when you lie
'Cause you mean it more
Than I mean the truth
Me and you
Alone
If all the words aligned
Came crystalline
And whole in my head
