All For Nothing

(You won’t!)
You know that I am telling the truth,
But it’s a shame you can’t see.
They’re lying, oh, they’re lying, oh they’re
Lying to you when you,
Think you’re friendess, think your useless, think that
No one wants you to be there
I see the light drain from your eyes
When the devils take you.
Oh no, you don’t deserve it.
What if it’s all for nothing?
I tried to say what I should say,
But the words wouldn’t come out.
They’re lying, oh, they’re lying, oh they’re
Lying to you when you,
Think you’re friendess, think your useless, think that
No one wants you to be there.
You say this comes as no surprise,
That your mind is racing.
Oh no, you don’t deserve it.
What if it’s all for nothing?
(I don’t want to hear it)
(I do not deserve this)
(I can’t feel anything)
(It’s all for naught!)
What if it’s all for nothing
What if we’re all meant to lose.
Oh no, you don’t deserve it.
What if it’s all for nothing?

No Words

Like smoke in your fingers / the pain ever lingers
They left without warning / no words for their parting
I'm there in the crowd / I'm weeping out loud
And thinking of what I will make for dinner.
I'm here to be seen / I hope I'm not mean
When I say I'd rather be home.
They paid me for mourning / I'm jewels for adorning
the pews for your funeral rites.
So don't ask me how I know the family
You all need me in the end
I don't mean no disrespect. I'm sorry for your loss, but it don't mean a thing to me.
(bury me just like the rest)
I don't want to pay respect. I did not know the man, but I'm paid for the tears you see.
(bury me just like the rest)
(your tears, they mean nothing to me, bury me just like the rest)
You all need me in the end
I don't mean no disrespect. I'm sorry for your loss, but it don't mean a thing to me.
(bury me just like the rest)
I don't want to pay respect. I did not know the man, but I'm paid for the tears you see.
(bury me just like the rest)
I believed in something at first. Like this was something beautiful, but it's an intermission. An intermission from something infinitely darker and more beautiful.
Like smoke in my fingers / the pain ever lingers You left without warning / no words for your parting

Faux News
03:05

You clap but you don't even know why
Celebration ain't even justified
Your flags take on many shapes and sizes
But they can't hide the fear that's in between your eyes
"Your votes are bought off the shelves of the American dream store, and you fight a losing battle against yourselves
Corporations! / Salutations! Resource! / Misinformation!
It's all happening while you brush your teeth in the suburbs of your denial.
Abuse is the motivation you need.
A little pain, here and there, can go a long way
Keep me numb to the fractures in their skin.
Ignorance is my right as an American.
But deep down I know that it's all wrong
But what can I do? I'm just one person.
I'd rather live blind and on my knees
Than get shot trying to get on my feet
Your votes are bought off the shelves of the American dream store, and you fight a losing battle against yourselves Corporations! / Salutations! Resource! / Misinformation! It's all happening while you brush your teeth in the suburbs of your denial.

A Prison Just For Us
04:08
|

|
You’ll see I’ll be
Home again. Safe Again.
You’ll see I’ll be-
The girl you fell for. Your manic dream whore.
The secret fantasy you had locked away.
So still you wait there, awash in night air,
Still waiting for the green light to return.
I don’t deserve this, the secret lover’s kiss,
The wonderment of a life you thought could stay.
But I am not her, oh, she was younger,
She was the promise of a life you’d yet to live.
(I’m just one breath away from falling apart
I’m just one breath away)
You built a prison just for us
And you’re locking me away.
The sins of the mould you cast
Aren’t mine to hold,
Yet here I’m suffering.
I’m suffering, I’m suffering
Here with you, here with you
I’m suffering, I’m suffering
Here with you.
(Left for dead)
I am the girl you left behind, and then left for dead.
On the farther shore I waited for you to return,
But I got sick of waiting. My heart was closed for good.
It took me this long to get over the distance between us.
You built a prison just for us
And you’re locking me away.
The sins of the mould you cast
Aren’t mine to hold,
Yet here I’m suffering.
I’m suffering, I’m suffering
Here with you, here with you
I’m suffering, I’m suffering
Here with you.

Turnpike

I am blind and walking on a stony path,
With soundless voices
That drag me along.
Senseless premonitions incite fear
Of the invisible road,
Laid by those I don't know
Ahead all I can see is the coastline,
And behind is darkness.
Where do I go?
Screaming under water, where no one can hear,
Will nobody help me?
I’m scared to death but don't know what to fear
(Stuck here at the crossroads)
stuck here on my own
(Stuck here at the crossroads)
stuck here on my own
Hear the screaming whispers. They shout in my ear.
They tell me to walk,
And to walk all alone.
My eyes are open, but they can't see.
I've been here so long,
Oh dear God help me.
This asphyxiation fills my heavy head
But I can't give in to this
Calling darkness.
nder water, where no one can hear,
Will nobody help me?
I’m scared to death but don't know what to fear
(Stuck here at the crossroads)
Stuck here on my own
(Stuck here at the crossroads)
Stuck here on my own, yeah.

Pick Your Poison
04:58

Every day I wake up with my head spinning
Palms grip the porcelain and I hate the image
Drag back another one My stomach's twisting
But I find safety in the repetition.
I've been trying out new therapy where I scream till my ears bleed
Got my drugs and magazines. (still don't feel free)
Drag back another one feel you running through my veins
Gave up on clarity I'm wrecked but not insane.
They've been playing with me like you wouldn't believe
I am the receiver of all their deceit
They've been messing around like you wouldn't believe
Got my head in the clouds and I reek of defeat
I can't remember what was done or what was said
My whole world's painted out with the hollows of my head.
Dig up the flower bed sun beating on my back
I can't feel its warmth no more it's ferocious in the act --
Cuz when I head home I’m a headcase, I know.
I’m never truly alone. It’s just me, myself, and my self esteem.
So I claws until my fingers bled
At the roots beneath my feet
And I tugged them up all blood and mud (Never felt so clean)
Tore the bricks down from the wall And baked inside the light
Screaming out rebirth, rebirth My poisons tossed aside
(no more headaches, no more lungs caving in)
(I can feel the sun)
They've been messing around like you wouldn't believe
Got my head in the clouds and I reek of defeat
(no more headaches, no more lungs caving in)

Misfits
04:24

|
I saw her a few times here and there
In shallow waters and narrow hallways
Stupid trips, boring parties.
She didn't seem to fit,
Neither did I, but that's alright.
I didn't even know her name and that's all she left behind.
A question that was never asked I never asked why
I didn't even know her name before she signed her suicide note
I never thought that she'd be the first one to go,
Waiting there in the darkness below.
Silence is all I hear from the people 'round
Please, oh please just leave me where I'm found!
(She was the first of many)
Well she's the first of many and it won't stop there.
Don't be the last of any to really care?
I never thought that she'd be the first one to go,
Waiting there in the darkness below.
Silence is all I hear from the people 'round
Please, oh please just leave me where I'm found!

Sheltered
04:01

I was the rain in your lungs
And it's mind over matter
You're drowning alone
Run running out of breath
For the last words you said
In the last song you sung
I was the rain in your veins
Rushing in like a river
Breaking your skin
(Empty of oxygen)
And now you're breathless, alone in your bed.
As images flash through your head.
I said I'm giving it up
I'm giving it in
If I'm holding you up
Then say something about it to me
You were once a child
Born of blue
Dressed in roses
A fantastic display
My princess of grey
An illusion of substance
You've got your blankets wrapped tight
Sheltered all through the night
From the fiends in the mirror
(Hide away from fear)
I'll be here waiting (Dressed for you)
Shamelessly sedated (All for use)
You're your own damn monster (No excuse)
Night Terror (I'd rather feel a burning on my skin And an aching in my bones Than feel hollow and feel sheltered Then feel nothing here at all.)

Futures and Goodbyes
04:32
|

How wide the sky appears, o’er this growing land.
How the green still lingers along the concrete sand.
I find it hard to remember the sky while I’m in bed
And hear the haggard whispers of poems left unsaid.
Still I wander.
Still I wonder,
Where shall it take me?
The unknown.
It’s not that they’re not written, or spoken in bitter tones.
They’re etched in corners hidden, they’re underneath out bones
Futures and goodbyes
Futures and goodbyes
Futures and goodbyes they are waiting
Did you forget to see me before you go?
Futures and goodbyes they are waiting
I know that I won’t be missed when I must go
Futures and goodbyes they are waiting
For you to get up and take this life in your hands.
Futures and goodbyes they are waiting
Did you forget to see me before you go?
Before you go
Before you go

5 Centimeters Per Second
05:58

My universe will never be the same x2
What’s happening to me?
This burning in my chest will not cease
Like ice, I tried to conquer the ocean
Yet you conquered my heart
I am here and I am afraid
Yet not even the rain, could wash this all away
I want to bathe in your life stream
Cleanse myself in your existence
Let your ivory tears rain on me
And the waves break on the memory
Of you and I in harmony
Your eyes used to flicker at the sight of stars
My universe will never be the same x3
So come back to me beautiful, always
I cannot wait for the wind to change
To let you fade to me again
Cannot wait to see you again
For I feel so hollow
With all these miles between
For I feel so alone
When you’re not beside me
So let the sands of time
Dance within my hands
It slips away so slowly
Each second is unholy.
The stars echo your name
Crystals in the night, shattered by morning
But you are everlasting, endless night
A beautiful tragedy
