You would have loved who I used to be,. Yesterday I would have hated the boy you see. When you found me I was at my worst. The best I was is a long forgotten curse..
Pioneers will get the arrows. But you know now, that's where you'll find me. Won't stop striving, can't stop working. You know I'll be known at the gates.
One last glance from a taxicab. Images scar my mind. Four weeks felt like years. Since your full attention was all mine. . The night was young and so were we.
We're the last of the sleepless ones,. Left behind by those we left behind tonight.. Quiet now, let the boys intake,. Were we always, just your lost caused mistakes?.
Now who are you to be the death of me. Stealing what life you need. Roadside while you watch me bleed. I've got to get out of here. I've got to get out of here.
Depraved. Anberlin. Dark is the Way, Light is a Place. . Are you depraved,. or are you deceived?. Excuses aside,. stop saying please, please.. Are you depraved,.
So let me get this straight. Say now you loved me all along?. What makes you hesitate. To tell me with words what you really feel?. . I can see it in your eyes you mean all of what you say.
She's got the time. Says she's got time on her side. Running the room. Commanding the late boys' eyes. . She runs around. Knows all the streets by name.
We're surrounded... just drop the gun (the fields have been cut off). The fields have been cut off with stars and black windmills. The ticking clock spins out of control, erosion claims the monuments.
Don't Kid Yourself, You Need a Physician. For days and weeks I made the parting call. I cupped my hands, my mouth in "O." I shouted saying, "Brothers, hold my fading arms in the air, I am weak!" They just faded there, my voice was gone. Who will rescue me from this body, not the arms, the fingers still... yes, they feel what they touch as well, cut the cords. Let the ancient Adam go. I've been dancing with this corpse for nineteen years. And when I said, "Who will shave my head, and on the might, reveal me in my skin?" All the secrets of fitness: all the fitness He requires is to feel your need for Him.*** In my room, in my room, in this gospel I have made, salvation is a broken cistern in a handmade frame. I cut the sheets into a flag, paint it red, self-pity hangs over the doorway in. From seven times seventy scraping knees, blood lets, deficiencies, these are the layers of bandages, protection from the sting. In this great lacking, I've found a way. And when I said, "Who will shave my head, and on that might reveal me in my skin?" All the secrets of fitness: all the fitness He requires is to feel your need for Him.*** Who will rescue me from this body, not the arms, the fingers still... yes, they feel what they touch as well, cut the cords. Let the ancient Adam go. I've been dancing with this corpse for nineteen years..
I could not look Him in the face, so I stood revarnishing the floor with my eyes. He stared into them with this love so offended and profound. He tore the center of my shirt and red ws bleeding through from underneath the white clothes that I wore. The fire of devotion was only an ember. Alarmed at this sign of decay, my legs gave out because there was no self left to stand on. Thus, my heart was grieved, vexed in my mind, still Your banner over me was love. My walls are ever before You, still Your banner over me is love. But it was Your kind arms cradling me, a criminal. But it was your kind arms cradling me, a criminal. Oh wretched worm of a man that I am, on Thy kind arms I fall.** I'm just a man. I'm just a criminal..
Don't matter white, green or blue.. I'll cut, crush, parachute you.. I'll just bottle it up, hope all is fine.. Bottle it up, til next Columbine.. Call me crazy, but I know that I'm just fine..
Hey man, here's my plan. I'm gonna break it. Hey you, don't be sad. Here's your chance, so take it. If you slap my face, if you don't call. Honestly, I don't care at all.
Remember a time when the summer'd never end. The whole world was waiting for me and my best friend. We'd sneak out, an' mess around, made up silly tunes.
I fell for guys who tried to commit suicide. With soft rock hair and blood shot eyes. He tastes like Marlboro cigarettes, Reese's peanut butter cups. A Pepsi in his hand, gettin' off the school bus.
Was just the other day when you said to me. That you had enough. Told me that you wanna move on with your life. And now you sing to me the same old melody.
La la la ...Itsu no hi ka,. I'll be there. (three times). I've gotta find a way, so let me go,. because, baby, I don't wanna cry.. I've gotta find a way, so let me go,.
Another day and I'm still here. ( And I'm still here. ). And I can't remember what it's like to feel. ( What it's like to feel. ). I can't tell if anything is real. ( Anything is real. ).
Always in a hurry, impatient to get away. Always think that things look a lot better. When they're seen from far away. . But if you take me by the hand.
Shuffling through people like cards. I cant find anyone to take my losin' hand. Winning streak left me high and dry. A winning streak that slowly. Drains from the land.
