High Crimes

I want to kill, I don't want to be killed, I’m a simple man I want to love, I don't want to be loved, now you fucked up all my plans Don't want to die or take a seat at the table Oh, I’m not willing, not ready, not able Everybody come close or I'll explode Don't calm me down when all I want is a reason to stay awake I nailed myself to the cross of an empty bed with a sick mistake I said I'm sorry but I say it so much, goddamn I get the feeling that I'm losing my touch Don't look at me like that, I know, I know I know, I know, I know We are stars colliding We are cells dividing We have all the time in the world but never the timing We are stars colliding We are cells dividing We have all the time in the world but never the timing Ah fuck I'm in a hurry, let's get this wrong, I’m a busy man Made my confession in the back of a car on a broken promised land I know the devil, I have God as my witness Come raise the dead, ’cause I'm not willing to miss this No, you stay right here, I’ll go, I'll go I'll go, I'll go, I’ll go We are stars colliding We are cells dividing We have all the time in the world but never the timing We are stars colliding We are cells dividing We have all the time in the world but never the timing Guitar!

Cut me up, I'm on display Like a broken mirror, you can't look away Don't move, don’t breathe I don't see what it is but I see what it means You stayed awake until we all were dead and gone So you could pick the bones And if you’re trying to bring me down Then you’re the last to know Once the bullet leaves my brain It can't be stopped You're in over your head I'm invincible I'm invincible All the things I was meant to say They would swallow you whole They would take you away I'm poisoned, you're drained Give me your word And I'll give you a name You stuck around until we all were dead and gone Then you found my bones And if you’re trying to bring me down Then you’re the last to know Once the bullet leaves my brain It can't be stopped You're in over your head I'm invincible I'm invincible You stuck around until we all were dead and gone Then you found my bones And if you’re trying to bring me down Then you’re the last to know Once the bullet leaves my brain It can't be stopped You're in over your head I'm invincible And if you're trying to bring me down Then you're the last to know Once the bullet leaves my brain It can't be stopped You’re in over your head I'm invincible I'm invincible I'm invincible I'm invincible Cut me up, I'm on display I'm a new disaster, you can't look away

There ain't nothing I could say or do But stand guard over the vault Of a heart that I kept from you All the things I ever promised, oh They’re under my nails, all over my clothes They're leaving a trail behind me As you bring them home And you know What I'd do Yeah, baby None of it’s for you And when I come around Look for a sign from below Stand still and wait for an omen You fell in love with the lie You dragged the body home You dragged the body home, ooh You dragged the body home You pull the thread And watch the whole thing go All the pressure that built up behind our eyes Made my head explode I couldn't say it so I faked it, oh It's under my nails, all over my clothes It's leaving a trail behind me As you bring them home And you know What I'd do Yeah, baby None of it's for you And when I come around Look for a sign from below Stand still and wait for an omen You fell in love with the lie You dragged the body home And you know What I'd do Yeah, baby None of it's for you And when I come around Look for a sign from below Stand still and wait for an omen You fell in love with the lie You dragged the body home With the sky coming down The heat comes up from below Stand still and wait for an omen You fell in love with the lie You dragged the body home You dragged the body home You dragged the body home

Go and meet your eyeless fate The grief will only last until you're gone Vision without courage makes us far too late We'd do anything to slow the setting sun Time is turned back by the bottle So I built a bed of foam and broken glass The threat is dead before my money's gone Come on out, we're all coming in last You're gonna take my life and when you do I won't follow you I won't follow you Leaving me is the right thing to do But I won't follow you I won't follow you Offer up your beating heart To a sky that might absorb the boiling blood We dance until we're dead but still no sign of rain We'd do anything to resurrect the love You're gonna take my life and when you do I won't follow you I won't follow you Leaving me is the right thing to do But I won't follow you I won't follow you Put down that weight You're swimming up a river Put down that weight You're carrying a brick, carrying a brick Put down that weight You're swimming up a river Put down that weight You're carrying a brick, carrying a brick You're gonna take my life and when you do I won't follow you I won't follow you Leaving me is the right thing to do But I won't follow you I won't follow you You're gonna take my life and when you do I won't follow you I won't follow you Leaving me is the right thing to do But I won't follow you I won't follow you Follow you Follow you

You're part of my violence now What you know is not the same as what you used to believe Carved in stone, but you brought the storm that carried every statue away Just like I knew you would I see you when you disappear I can't go back, I can't go near Don't tell me your name Don't remind me Try to send a sign I'm alive I was screaming Codes repeating But the curtains fell It was too dark to see I tried to send a sign I’' alive Collect yourself and bring your pieces to me Where it's safe I've spent my life waiting for you And I'll wait through another one Built of bone You swung the ax that shattered everyone in your way Just like you said you would I see you when you disappear I can't go back, I can't go near Don't tell me your name Don't remind me Try to send a sign I'm alive I was screaming Codes repeating But the curtains fell It was too dark to see I tried to send a sign I'm alive Collect yourself and bring your pieces to me Where it's safe A light without a fire A love with no desire We can't keep going low if we're trying to get higher A light without a fire A love with no desire We can't keep going low if we're trying to get higher and higher I see you when you disappear I can't go back, I can't go near Don't tell me your name Don't remind me Try to send a sign I'm alive I was screaming Codes repeating But the curtains fell It was too dark to see I tried to send a sign I'm alive Collect yourself, come on Try to send a sign I'm alive I was screaming Codes repeating But the curtains fell It was too dark to see I tried to send a sign I'm alive Collect yourself and bring your pieces to me Where it's safe Where it's safe

Save all your questions for the ending Save all your meanings for the message I apologize but I cannot escape the fear that days are getting shorter still New beginnings? Yeah, we chase them down like lions Young hearts don't come free tonight (Come free tonight) And not one of them is built to save my life (To save my life) If you appear behind a shadow You disappear without a sound Young hearts ain't free The dust was kicked up during battle And now I leave it where it settles It is not the time to chase the ghosts around the city maze we made When we were brand new toys Are you calling me a liar? Young hearts don't come free tonight (Come free tonight) And not one of them is built to save my life (To save my life) If you appear behind a shadow You disappear without a sound Young hearts ain't free Please don't, please don't Shut me up I'm not wrong I'm not sold, I'm not sold That it's what I need for this long Please don't, please don't Shut me up I'm not wrong I'm not sold, I'm not sold That it's what I need for this long Young hearts don't come free tonight (Come free tonight) And not one of them is built to save my life (To save my life) If you appear behind a shadow You disappear without a sound Young hearts ain't free

I tried to love you quietly but it echoes on and on We make believe that we fire our guns but we feel the rush of blood We let the weight of it bend our bones and steal the air out of our lungs Do an impression Be my pretender Until I come undone I've been broken I've been shamed But I keep crawling back You keep calling it faith I've been broken I've been shamed But I keep crawling back You keep calling it faith I got a fear that I can't explain But I keep crawling back You keep calling it faith I've been broken I've been shamed But I keep crawling back You keep calling it faith Yeah, I'm broken I'm ashamed Yeah, I'm broken I tried to tell you quietly that I have never been the one But I'm alive and I think too much and the night is always young I let the weight of it set the tone and steal the air out of my lungs I'm an offender Creature of habit And I have come undone I've been broken I've been shamed But I keep crawling back You keep calling it faith I've been broken I've been shamed But I keep crawling back You keep calling it faith I got a fear that I can't explain But I keep crawling back You keep calling it faith I've been broken I've been shamed But I keep crawling back You keep calling it faith Yeah, I'm broken I'm ashamed I'm broken We can never go back there It's not home We can never go back there It's not home We can never go back there It's not home We can never go back there It's not home

I saw you on high but you didn’t see me You were dressed in black, the whole world was singing You and I have a terrible sickness We collide from too great a distance and we won't survive unless we are nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing And you'll forget what we were told Two different suns that set along the same dark road We can't go back, we both just move ahead alone The fire is cold The fire is cold I saw you on high but you didn't see me You and I had a terrible feeling I think it was nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing And you'll forget what we were told Two different suns that set along the same dark road We can't go back, we both just move ahead alone The fire is cold The fire is cold And you'll forget what we were told Two different suns that set along the same dark road We can't go back, we both just move ahead alone The fire is cold The fire is cold We won't survive, we are nothing
