So I'm sorry As two hands open doors Something serene to steal my life away Climbing on the way up Sizing up the competition Waiting for the right time To strike a chord and change your life Don't you ever think for one second that I will forget the reasons that I cried You are no more potent than words that choke me I sit and ask you two words But this is not a product And we're not in a competition Waiting for the right time To strike a chord and change your life Regret's how I spell your name In light of what you have done How can you not feel the same? My love will fade with the sun As days go by, shed a tear I hate your face More than life I'll fake a smile for (you) my dear So turn away Climbing on the way up Sizing up the competition Waiting for the right time To strike a chord and change your life

M, 4, V, T, C and H Might need to provide this number at the gate Steady pilot 'cause I'm half afraid I can't believe you'd ask me that, of course I don't believe in fate Would you be depressed? If I attend that wedding, but only as a guest Such an unfaithful bride draped in dress Spun with threads of my regret Sing it loud to drown out the feeling When you're feeling much more odd (even) And half as true as dishonored seamen We'll breathe Pacific and fight our demons Would you be depressed? If I attend that wedding, but only as a guest Such an unfaithful bride draped in dress Spun with threads of my regret So arch your back And flip your hair Make eye contact so you know I care You know I care So arch your back And flip your hair Make eye contact so you know I care You know I care You know I care But only as a guest Such an unfaithful bride draped in dress Spun with threads of my regret

I thought About the end today The final chapter The last scene Ending what is here and what is now And all there is to come No hope for tomorrow, for today ( Through all this talk, on how numb ) There's one just out of reach on how numb ( And you bet it shows, you bet it shows ) So now I take my heart in hand (Shake downs like) Bleach out the shades of detriment (Like these) Branded with names that I resent Worship on your knees again (Get old) So now I take my heart in hand Bleach out the shades of detriment Branded with names that I resent Wear it upon my sleeve the end Ending what is here and what is now And all there is to come No hope for tomorrow, for today ( Through all this talk, on how numb ) There's one just out of reach ( And you bet it shows, you bet it shows ) Through all this talk, on how numb And you bet it shows, you bet it shows Shake downs like these are getting old And you bet it shows, you bet it shows In your eyes I can see Tomorrow out of reach In your eyes I can see ( This is detachment ) Tomorrow beyond me

Oh, why can't I be what you need? A new improved version of me But I'm nothing so good No, I'm nothing Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs Of violence, of love, and of sorrow I beg for just one more tomorrow Where you'd hold me down, fold me in Deep, deep, deep in the heart of your sins I'd break in two over you I'd break in two And each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you don't see me, you don't Here I'm pinned between darkness and light Bleached and blinded by these nights Where I'm tossing and tortured 'til dawn By you, visions of you, then you're gone The shock bleeds the red from my face When I hear someone's taken my place How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel? When all, all that I did was for you I'd break in two over you I'd break in two And each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you don't see me, you don't I'd break in two over you I'd break in two And each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you don't see me, you don't I'd break in two over you I'd break in two over you Over you, I'd break in two I would break in two for you Now you see me, now you don't Now you need me, now you don't

In you I see further Can it last forever? Identify your patients , XY configurations Words are lost in your eyes One thought inside my heart Drop addicts in the mixtureFalcons have blown the fixture Think of me as days pass us by Shards of glass, skin of gold Steal my breath, blood runs cold Violet waves, oceans blue All my love lost in you In you I see further Can it last forever? Sinkhole that we would frequentWhite heels safe from extinction Words are lost in your eyes One thought inside my heart I said that I don't need you But I'm a liar, I swear I do, I do Strip away vanity ( I do ) Just as you consume me ( I do ) Broken smile, starless sky ( I do ) Save it all, say goodbye You're out in left field, and lacking interest You fight the boredom, but it makes no difference Your mental health, kid, that's what's in question Keep acting obscure, we'll keep them guessing The moment ideas are conceived They'll be out of touch, obsolete They're faking champions hand picked And all the fights have been fixed You wake to suffer through the day Trade a dream for the pay Well here's the fact I hope it sticks You're just alive out of habit Alive out of habit Alive out of habit Shards of glass, skin of gold Steal my breath, blood runs cold Violet waves, oceans blue All my love lost in you Strip away part of me Just as you consume me Broken smile, starless sky End it all, say good-bye Think of me as I say good-bye Strip away part of me Just as you consume me Broken smile, starless sky End it all, say good-bye

You might be just what I need No I would not change a thing Been dreaming of this so long But we only exist in this song The thing is, I'm not worth the sorrow And if you come and meet me tomorrow I will hold you down, fold you in Deep, deep, deep in the fiction we live I break in two over you I break in two And if a piece of you dies Autumn, I will bring you back to life Of course I see you I do

I've boarded up the windows To keep the morning from intrusion I've left it on the doorknob Could you please just not disturb On days like this we find it so hard To push ourselves up and out of bed When nothing falls in favor of I have so many things I would like to explain to you But I don't know just how to Communicate I can't take this body shaking Dress and we'll begin Nights can be so violent When beds become vacant I've blown it once again This would have been the last offense and You should have been here months ago With open arms and honest face Address full doubt you've ever felt frustration Well I'm choking on it now And it's the hardest thing for me to shake I have so many things I would like to explain to you But I don't know just how to Communicate I can't take this body shaking Dress and we'll begin Nights can be so violent When beds become vacant Is it because of this Vacancy that you swear Never to, to believe? Honestly honest me With a look that's so deceiving I'll bite, chew, swallow, and Digest the hands that feed me With a bayonet for a tongue Swallow swords inadvertently And to the organ flame I'll maintain a close adjacency I have so many things I would like to explain to you Farewell to all the days you were Within my reach And as of right now everything is making perfect sense As of right now everything is making perfect sense I can't take this body shaking Dress and we'll begin Nights can be so violent When beds become vacant
