well if today ever meets it's end (when will this ever end) i don't know if tomorrow's a foe, but it's surely not a friend so will all the liars raise your hand if i asked them all to leave, then surely the room would be empty and alone
2.
oh, we break apart at the seams, but we will never let anybody see the intestines spilling out we put our pieces back together oh-so carefully but it's so hard to keep them all in place how can i lead this team, when i'm just leading them to leave but if we left now, we'd only be as good as any nobody here we are (here we are) biting our nails down to the bone wondering when we're gonna fall apart again is this what it'll always be like? this is what it'll always be like! how can we live our lives when always missing a piece can we move forward when we're dragging all the weight we can keep this is where all the liars and the dead-ends meet when will the rivers come and take me with them we break apart can we apologize now, can we forgive or did we forget how? yeah, come on!
3.
this is why i'll never cry and this is why i'll always lie we'll meet where water turns to wine well meet me on the other side if the running is all out, from the blood beneath your veins can we call it even now, can we turn another page? although things may always change, well surely time will show it's test and futures never rest, let me show you what answer is best (this is why) i'll always stay the same (i'll never change) as hard as it may be (stay the same) i won't give in (in any way) to their foolish ways (this is why) i'll always stay the same (i'll never be) i'll never be afraid (anything) because it makes me sick (anyway) because it makes me sick the chemistry of knowing what it would be like to fall apart so, if i know you would you please help me get back on my feet
4.
searching through the wreckage of my shattered family frame someone please tell me who am i to blame if these are the remnants of our broken countries dream find me one without self-medication and false belief when will you get out of my life (life i loathe) i loathe you and i hate you in the same way (with love) so will you carry me away, until my dreams tell me i can stay well is there another way or not never again will i live with this why should i care when everything's amiss never again, never again searching through the wreckage of my own blank mind again someone please help me find what is within
5.
i know now, we waited too long, everything's wrong, a cursed song i can't believe what you did to me i can't believe if you... hey now can't you see i'm never coming back to that vulnerable place where you could see the very inside of me, the state of my well-being a castle you couldn't be, a place where we're finally free i'll never be free i'll never be free we never made amends so why are you here? i guess, i guess we'd never be (i will never lie again) we never should have been, so why is this hard? i guess, i guess we never... (i'll never lie, i will never lie again) i know now, we waited too long, everything's wrong, a cursed song i'll never lie again
6.
is it that we've lost our innocence for good this time or do we have the freedom now to be who we have always been here we go, spinning around and around again sunshine and moonlight, like diamonds in your eyes making us blind to the consequences of our crime if we're all still just children inside then how could we ever die? oh no, well then how could we ever die? (nowhere, yeah)
7.
Succubus 02:56
do you wonder what you'd be like if i wasn't so persistent? look back in time / rewind your mind and tell me if you miss it when you hide it inside all I see is the lies and i'm waiting behind this hollow disguise i know, i know i can't escape this (and no one can fix me) i can't escape this (and no one can) i'm a drugged out rat from the country, man! every time I look around all I see is bland, so take it from me, you'll get sick of the scene don't be fooled if you think you'll make it down on your knees bitch one two three four go! we're never gonna fix this unless we both wish it the context of this is so nonexistent
8.
Ignite 04:20
could you see, what it's like to be engulfed in your own mediocrity times will pass, they always do a version who always longs to be true i thought you told me to let go, to let go of the past i don't know, i couldn't ever tell (i don't even know) when everything turns to embers and ash rise above, rise above ignite the remains of us before we all forget how we carried our lives right in our hands always waiting for that soul that hole in my heart to heal it self just like my body can angels tore me a vortex hole old space rules and new variables a hole and a heart to call my own
9.
Legends 03:39
i turn around and you're there like a whisper never let go you were the one to fade into the background like a ghost these paintings were to never come off the wall now like burning bridges to ashes they fall let the phoenix rise legends never die (liar, said the phoenix, let him rise) i couldn't let it go legends never let go i couldn't let it...
10.
wait, here's another lie from the whites of my eyes to keep me awake in the dark of the night so when i expire, i'll know i never ever even tried will i ever know, is it you or is it i? so all i can do is call you a selfish liar even if i desired, i'll know i never ever even asked why i could never tell if you were the one making the mistakes or if you were just out to have fun (liar) it would be a disgrace to speak of honesty say no more, no more i've had enough where do we go from here, from here why, why can't i forget? (into the darkness, i'll find the key tear out her eyes, to make us whole again) why can't i forget what you've done
11.
the truth is the people you think are your best friends they'll fuck you over in a second just for their own benefit even i am guilty of the same etiquette, it cowers behind lips when will i learn to stop defending it, remembering it now my eyes are open wide enough to see that yours were closed the entire time caught in a rhyme, the lesson's mine if we're here, then we might as well say it all we can watch the towers we built crumble and fall reconstruction, it tires the soul pieces which don't fit will never be whole so cut, why not? if this is the time of my life i let it go to waste we didn't even need the (money, time, guilt) after all
