Surrendered years of our lives
Caring not of what I lost
Cause I fought
On my knees
Hands red
We're coming out
With our hands behind our heads

ASCAP

Surrendered years of our lives
Caring not of what I lost
Cause I fought
On my knees
Hands red
We're coming out
With our hands behind our heads

This was once upon a time
We thought we could learn to fly
We were settled in between
Perfect harmonies

Pull me in
To your ring of sin
And certain fate
Tell me how to walk
Tell me how to talk
Tell me how to hate
Give me rules to follow
Everywhere I go
Show me how to be
Someone more like you
So they don't ask me
Who are you?

Pull the curtains open
So I can finally breathe
When their room's lit
And mine is dark
So they can't see

ASCAP

So I light a match inside my brain
My head explodes blood covers the train
She stares in awe
People keep on walking by
They crush my nose and poke my eye
She wards them off
She says "Money makes me sad
But I'm too sad to cry

ASCAP

A woman's walking with bare feet
Up and down the filthy street
She boards a subway car

Her nail polish is chipping off
She prays for saints that will not scoff
Or blow her off

So I light a match inside my brain
My head explodes blood covers the train
She stares in awe

People keep on walking by
They crush my nose and poke my eye
She wards them off

She says "Money makes me sad

ASCAP

Words that we speak
It's like we were made from a stone
Where we say things
In hopes to break them all apart

Friendships remain
We just close our eyes and
Pretend it's the same
But we can't
No matter how hard we try

This once was a hiding place
Where no-one can find
It's now where everyone shines

Friendships remain
We just close our eyes and
Pretend it's the same
But we can't
No matter how hard we try

This once was a hiding place
Where no-one can find
It's now where everyone shines

Tied up in knots
The day we let go
Is the day we forgot
Just what we all have become

ASCAP

So he took the whole world
And he swallowed it down
And it burned in his stomach
Til there was no-one around
Except him all alone
In the vacant white crying
"Jesus, where is my life?"

I hope to never again
Have to cope
with this darkness my friend

War is a-ragin'
Don't you understand
Cause a rich man's son
took the world in his hand
He said this here is mine
To do with as I please
Get out of my way
Or fall to your knees

So he took the whole world
And he swallowed it down
And it burned in his stomach
Til there was no-one around
Except him all alone
In the vacant white crying
"Jesus, where is my life?"

I hope to never again

ASCAP

As I walked through your hallways naked
With signs taped all across your back
You promised that I would feel equal
With rings of gold wrapped 'round my neck

My attention's now given to these characters
Who remind me of all that I lack
I can't lay in your blanket of protection
I've grown I feel old and I know

We begin right here
Always at the same place with you

When I turn into dust
I won't know where I'm going
When I turn into dust
I won't know where I am
When I turn into dust
I won't know why I started
I'll just be mad that I made any plans

The sun is shining dark
Dark days are dying
Right around the bend

Why do I always seem to forget
Where I'm going
Why do I always seem to forget
Where I am
Why do I always seem to forget
Why I started
And why can't I make any plans

When I turn into dust
I won't know where I'm going
When I turn into dust
I won't know where I am
When I turn into dust
I won't know why I started
I'll just be mad that I made any plans

I know I told you once
That I thought I could fly
But life's the rotten joke
That made my laughter die
And now I'm caught in concrete
Playing fucking games
Cause we're all in the business
Of becoming the same

I'd like
To know
How I
Should cope

With the lie

Cause I'm the rotten bastard
That ruined you
And you're the rotten bastard

Your smile
Is momentary

But don't cry
Cause your tears
Are only momentary

Gotta stop sitting starting at a screen
Watching bad TV time is passing me
Get up

Your hate

Your love
Is the only thing that isn't momentary
