When Forever Comes Crashing

I said that name and skipped a heartbeat I said it with a second chance and a forgetful smile I said it with the faint glimmer of suicide I taste my wreckage in our conversations Deep under the faint hums of far gone engines With all signal flares blazing we lay somewhere in between The smear of yellow lines and a year of empty promises I long for the grant of wings I long for the dead of night when all of this passes You never meant those three words Now i can't remember how to set my heart alight You never meant a word, not a fucking word of it I am so sick of good-byes, so sick of committing suicide I am so sick of the in between now and then So sick of swinging the hammer So sick of my suicide Of burying every hero that I had

Falling head over heels for burden and a bright light A high cost of playing god I guess Please, tell me how to survive in this The unforgiving role of seeing too much Under the dead wake of morning Finding solace in a diseased heart And finding love in acts of desperation You're no angel my friend, you're no angel And here we are Teetering on the edge of tried departure And there you are with a blessing from below One drop for every callous ending And one drop for every ungranted wish Spare me the day when I discover a new found low

Goodnight dear angel I won't be back here in burden I don't think we'll ever meet again She said that antiseptic words are just sorry answers And I'd have to agree No, I don't think we'll ever meet again We give everything for nothing Make me an offer I can't refuse Give me a reason and I'll give you an excuse I get lost in eyes like that Thanks but no thanks God never did me any favors

There was nothing that I ever wanted more Than for you to hold this deep with you heart To lay beside me as my halo bums deep to cinder And to the wale me from my tired life To give this ghost a home again When you fall short and I fall short This is where I pretend I'm as tall as the sky Now there is no comfort in your apology And no comfort in this shame This is where I can duck for cover From the overwhelming, from the forever overhead For the heart, for old time's sake, I'll stay warm with this Numb from the neck up She married me with a sympathy kiss She married me with her heart shaped tomb These days daydreams don't burn as bright as they us to And your broken promises are boiling over Every syllable my swinging hammer And every hesitation is a loss to them In the name of those lost to you For them this time it is war For me it's easier to just walk away

Well worn wings crumble too tired to forgive And too battered to ever forget I am the labor I am this I hang as your beloved hex I'll bring the nails and fevers of bad dreams Nail him Burden her Kill you Bury them It's all the same Holding your rope Try to forget me now Great leveller the sky tries to forget my name On days like this

For the swarms will come And reap your daydreams of love and hope For the fears and blood stained faith Are woven through her yearn of war And the sadder song of broken wings Heard through the battered pavement among this city Deafening, it betrays me In the sweetest and of the greatest of dreams These moments can't avoid you Your tired faith cannot erase you Tonight the lonesome sky opens wide Forgive me 2AM my city lights burn bright as day Catching the flattering silhouettes of the tired and the damned I am tapped clean of respect And I'm walking waist deep in ruin If this is need then I never wanted you This is a monument to our everything Before our forever comes crashing I loved you

I'm losing sleep a thousand miles away from my you Unloved, in the dialtone It's just not that simple when the perfect words don't ever seem to fit She just slipped under harmony and now I'm empty handed I'm just half empty, a second best Somewhere it's too soon, it's just not enough It's never enough

You carry, the loyalty of dogs, so you shall be led to the slaughter as swine It all seemed so real when you whispered, adorned with rose petals and the best of intentions Bleeding softly I wonder if he ever felt as warm It's late and my ears can't listen and there is no one to lift me to my feet But still dream of you twisting and contorting beneath a garbage bag veil And this is how it ends Pretty and black as the soul Just for one split instant I want to be the lucky one Not to have the pleasure of tasting the salt of my own tears when we kiss I've been saving my own soul for years and every instant I have been slaughtered as the swine

I can tell by the weight of your words that this is over All the should've but could'ves can no longer be This is the second death in the exquisite art of forgetting And i promise this to you I'll burn the devotion clean Filling every hole in my heart All of these melancholy moments can sometimes sink Everything you were is fiction, everything you are is fiction And if you see me chin down and tongue tied This is all I have to offer I thought I'd never be asking This is my last laugh in this place of dying And for you, this is the last goodbye you'll ever hear It's not supposed to end like this

All these fairy tale forevers welcome everyone in and it's no wonder that she fell from this great blue sky I can still taste my defeat on these lips and you still have Hell welled up in your eyes I will burn that bridge when we get to it Erase the sun To those who've killed this hope, a presage, I will rise again Phoenix in flight, I'm here to break your wings I welcome this Won't let this heart stop beating I won't let this heart stop beating and I wil rise again and again and again... I will rise again
