And she asked me where have you been?. I could've sworn I lost you again. My reply, why do you still pretend. That you forgot me?. . When my world began to fall.
I sewed it up Stitched all these dead end streets. Into the sewn up seams of my heartstrings unwind(unwound). Like a petal pulled from an open flower..
Do you hear the jet plane yawning miles across the sky. Do you hear the garbage truck back down the boulevard. Setting off the car alarms as it passes by?.
I'm weak like a one-armed boxer. Throwing punch after punch. After punch I, I give in. I'm so dumb, I'm surprised when they duck. . Scared, paired walking soldiers.
The lights go down, outside (before our cars collide). So we silhouette ourselves (in forty shades of fire). Do you know where this is leading? I'll meet you there..
I've learned to let go. Come on. . Here's a middle finger. Coming straight from oca-l-a. I appreciate your judgement. It's proved that I can't trust a word you say.
Sitting alone in the dark of the stadium,. He whispers his secrets into a cheap guitar.. With the flick of his wrists he turns words into melodies,. Chords into church bells, fill up the alleys..
The lights go down, outside (before our cars collide). So we silhouette ourselves (in forty shades of fire). Do you know where this is leading? I'll meet you there..
She's the song that you tried to sing,. And the note that you couldn't hit.. So you locked her up in a music box,. And turned the key on all of us.. .
as i sit by myself. ive come from so. so far away. in such little time. i have killed. my soul. my mind. ive tried so hard to find. is this what i must do to get by.
Surprise, surprise. Everything you know will flash before your eyes. You're frozen with your hands against the glass. . I'm seeing bright lights. I'm hearing sharpened knives.
What have you done?. You followed footsteps in the dark,. And found your faith left out behind your father's car.. . You said "there's no one watching over me or over you, it's always out of reach".
Today I lie down deep in slumber. Feelings are falling downward. I want to forget. Waking up I hear the way your voice sounds. My heart starts to pound now....
It's just the southern road that you leave by and open windows in your car.. It's the breathing of the city that says leave me behind.. . Forget tomorrow side with the open road..
Kid, you need some thicker skin,. You don't take punches well.. You're just like your old man. But you're young and scared.. You're weak in your beliefs.
Steps ascend to a loaded gun. The scent of matches hangs in the air. A lit on flickers out in a heart beat. We don't want to see this,. A flash of light that's letting go of an empty bullet case.
In this room. I'm sitting by your side. It rains for hours and the phone is off its hook. Standing on the edge. Casting lots to set me up. Before you knock me down.
This is what you see when you look in my direction:. Incandescent corsets draw eyes tight like wires.. This is how it feels,. Calling out but no one even hears.
These embers turn to flames of yearning. I walked behind for too long. I can't stop the bleeding. These open wounds you left aren't healing. How the days just burn away.
On and off, the cylinders burn. With the fading heart of youth. And the sun slips below the treelike. Just out of view. Back and forth across the sky.
