take what you want
was it everything
did you get everything?
don’t know what you’re lookin
can’t tell if you are noticing
we’re burning down
a film reel that’s turning around, around
and you are alone
you’ve always been
don’t say we’re the lucky ones
don’t say anything
i’m not always to blame
you and i are the reason we’re going down in flames
i’m not always to blame
cuz you and i are the reason we’re going down in flames
the composer is trying
to get a feeling on what we said not what we meant
you should know
im gonna go for the throat
im gonna leave you bleeding there laying on the side of the road
all practical efx
it’s time to give the audience everything they expect
if i could speak honestly things could be ordinary
ill get a job
and get away from all the shit you put me through
i could be on the way
march in your own parade
you’ll never know
of all the shit you put me through
my heart is black for you

blue
where have you gone
are you listening
can you hear a word
blue
why do they call you such a specimen
isolated
away from other’s eyes
weren’t you just a child
when they trapped you alive
left alone at your mother’s side
at the foot of a station’s end
in the slums you made your way away
voices from the planet cull you
into a fate that you can’t change
if only you would know
it’s misery
calamity down from the skies
a mother for us, so divine
join in for the reunion, man
let’s be one again
behold this one-winged angel
a king you must oppress
you offered something holy
a weapon born from hope

deny these claims
sit atop your throne of lies
awaiting the evidence
to put you away
gaslighter
you’re an accident
can’t see through the fog that you’re making
to be like the devil,
you’re a wanted man
you can’t take the blame
come down from misusing grace they’ll say
gaslighter
you’re an accident
can’t see through all the fog that you’re making
gaslighter
you’re an accident
can’t see through the lies that you’re making

Goodbye, Goodnight

i can’t believe it
that you’re so far away
stars trace lines
leading back to you in the sky
it feels like yesterday that
i could come home to your face
where does the time go
when im not with you
if i say goodbye don’t say goodnight
if i say goodbye don’t say goodnight
goodbye
leave the room, please
we need some time alone
there’s words i have to say
even if you’ll never understand
where does the time go
when i’m not with you
if i say goodbye don’t say goodnight
if i say goodbye don’t say goodnight
goodbye
yeah it hasn’t been the same since you went away
yeah it hasn’t been the same since you went away
and i know that i haven’t lost everything
but it feels like i’ve lost my everything

Closer

a shell of what i used to be
im floating in the ether wondering
well are you thinking of me?
or are you just the ashes in a box i keep
atop my window pane
and i believe
that i can see you again
your ember burns inside of me
breathe
breathe with me
just breathe
walking down the roads
of where we used to rule
kings of a california dream
a whisper in the night
the phantom of my days
i remember you in every step i take
every step i take
it brings me closer to you
your ember burns inside of me
breathe
breathe with me
just breathe

Collateral

it’s a long way down
from where you’re standing
and i guess i’m your collateral
blame me again
ive been through the mud with you before
pawns caught in a crossfire
no one’s getting out alive
maybe im just overdosed
distant fearless comatose
radiate for one last time
no one’s getting out alive
it’s a long way down
from where you’re standing
and i guess i’m your collateral
inside another’s arms
you’re searching for your place
leaving everything behind
to make me call your name
surrender
dont you ever come back
it’s a long way down
from where you’re standing
and i guess i’m your collateral
it’s always my fault in the end
no matter what i do
yeah, no matter what i do
it’s a long way down
from where you’re standing
and i guess im your collateral

Scattered

|
don’t read the lines on my face
cuz they paint a picture that’s worse than it looks
i’m just trying to figure out
where it hurts
you’re too beautiful to be
in this pain
so scattered and beautiful
up with your back against the wall you’re just trying to figure out
where it hurts
how you feel is a shameful thing to them
not to me
yeah you’re holding on for the truth
so scattered and beautiful
so scattered and beautiful

without you
i am not myself
though i never claimed to know what that is

better than i ever could
grace will find you
i understand
that life will just move on
so why cant i stay still?
peace it has a way to keep you near
grace will find you
