A farewell to a friendship

Say something, anything right now
You know I'm choking on how bad it hurts
To say goodbye
Trust in the words I say to you
It's killing me to see you desperate
Believe in what you want

Just tell me how long it takes
Until I'm in the right place

Here we go again
I'm happier without this left behind
But it's all over now
Ready to go, ready to go, ready to find a way some how
Ready to go, ready to go, ready to leave it

Say something anything right now
I know you're choking on how bad it hurts
To let us go
Cry yourself asleep again tonight
Write a note sent with your love from everyone, everyone

Just tell me how long it takes
Until I'm in the right place

Here we go again
I'm happier without this left behind
But it's all over now
Ready to go, ready to go, ready to find a way some how
Ready to go, ready to go, ready to leave it all behind, all behind

You build me up, can't break me down
I'll find a way to leave this town
And nothing good you'll ever say
Will stay with me, please stay with me

You build me up can't break me down
I'll find a way to leave this town
And nothing good you'll ever say
Will stay with me, please stay with me, stay with me

Here we go again
I'm happier without this left behind
But it's all over now
Ready to go, ready to go, ready to find a way some how
Ready to go, ready to go, ready to leave it all behind, all behind

A song the world can sing out loud

I won't buy a word you sold me
I'm going places you never dreamed about
So tired of stupid stories
I'll write a song the world can sing aloud
We'll break the mold they gave us
We're going places they never dreamed about
Jump in and join the chorus
We're writing songs the world can
Shout out loud

Lend me your voice, sing it
Louder, I can't hear it
Lend me your voice, sing it
Louder, I can't hear it

I'm looking back on all those long days
When I was just a kid without a care
You asked what could I have to say
And I replied, "you're listening to it here"
Flashbacks are force of habit
When we were just some kids without a care
The living room we used to practice
The songs that you're listening
To right here

Lend me your voice, sing it
Louder, I can't hear it
Lend me your voice, sing it
Louder, I can't hear it

My head's a mess it's waiting to unfold
My head's a mess I'm waiting to unfold
Would you listen to me?
Would you listen to me?
My head's a mess it's waiting to unfold
My head's a mess I'm waiting to unfold
Would you listen to me?
Would you listen to me?

Lend me your voice, sing it
Louder, I can't hear it
Lend me your voice, sing it
Louder, I can't hear it
Lend me your voice sing it

A vague memory

Tears from yesterday carry on through tomorrow
These words were to soft spoken and I don't want to regret anything
No letter could express this fear I feel inside
But I'll write it anyway

Your name will be the last from my lips (my lips)
Your face the last image in my eyes (my eyes)
Don't Let the wind blow and take this all away
Only in death will we rise

I'll leave you these final words and pray for better days
My voice a vague memory washed away by your tears
It's hard to contemplate the obvious
But you're strong enough to make it through (To make it through)

A poetic tragedy falls upon your doorstep as you wake
Confide in your friends and family to wash this pain away
Goodbyes are inevitable but I will see you again
And never forget the simple fact that I will always love you
Did I do you proud?

Your name will be the last from my lips (my lips)
Your face the last image in my eyes (my eyes)
Don't Let the wind blow and take this all away
Only in death will we rise

We'll we rise...
We'll we rise...
We'll we rise...
We'll we rise...

Asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel a red light mistake
take my word for what its worth
life at a stand still not one second passes
and in the asphalt I see a best friend
(crashing through the window)

don't move
save me
cry out
to god above

And would you save everyone if you
saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring me back to life bring them back to life
one step further from all of this

abstract emotions in dealing with death
the warmth of my breath turns to ice
beating the concrete your hands
cut and bruised and in the end
not a question of why
(crashing through the window)

don't move
save me
cry out
to god above

And would you save everyone
if you saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring me back to life bring them back to life
one step further from all of this

never forget what im bleeding
gasp for air now i am apart of this
leave me suffering never break
your promises
never forget and you'll
never forget what i've done

and would you save everyone
if you saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring me back to life bring them back to life
one step further from all of this

don't move
save me
cry out
to god above

Black truth

NO safe from the silence still haunting me
Away from this place where I've been to long
A mejestic sunset lays in wait for that beatiful day
That was never meant to be

When time and space collide in this head on crash
Who will be the first to break these silences with lies
If truth is pain then let me be your masochist
And bury the rest in this burning flame that is my life

This fate has dealt me nothing but broken glass
A single note that always rings off key
Just like the lines used in an overplayed tragedy
This time we've gone to far

You were so much better than this
This time we've gone to far
Leave all your lies
Leave all your tears

Remember Change is the only constant...

Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies

You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...

Chippie

I trip on my words when I hear her voice
The thoughts in my head keep running over
Again your redundant sympathy for me
could never make me feel any better

I'm falling, further, away from you
I stumble, still waiting, for your answer

This is the last time you'll hear my voice
screaming the words that never made sense
from the tears in your eyes to the smile on my face
you finally got, whats coming to you

Excesively stressful is what we've become
A burden upon which neither of us needs
The past is the past and should be left behind
The future is now let me change your mind

I'm falling, further, away from you
I stumble, still waiting, for your answer

This is the last time you'll hear my voice
Screaming the words that never made sense
From the tears in your eyes to the smile on my face
You finally got, whats coming to you (coming to you...)

Find a way to carry on, Don't think of me cause I'll be gone
And when the day comes to an end
You'll think of me and I'll think of you again
I'll never forget your melodic voice

This is the last time you'll hear my voice
Screaming the words that never made sense
From the tears in your eyes to the smile on my face
You finally got, whats coming to you

Christmas on the coast

I'm so close
Close to standing at your front door when it gets
Cold, colder outside
And my hopes
My hopes are high for this winter to be spent
Right
Just right

Oh no
Don't forget the snow
Don't forget us here on the west coast
Please
Back for the holidays
New Year's is close, we're on our way

So many states, so many days
So many names without a face
Another town, one more night
And I won't sit, but I don't mind
All these miles left behind
This truckstop feels like home tonight

Oh no
Don't forget the snow
Don't forget us here on the west coast
Please
Back for the holidays
New Year's is close, we're on our way

I'm coming home for the holidays
I'm coming home for the holiday
I'm coming home for the holidays
I'm coming home for the holidays

Oh no
Don't forget the snow
Don't forget us here on the west coast
Please
Back for the holidays
New Year's is close, we're on our way

Don't forget the snow
Don't forget us here on the west coast
Back for the holidays
New Year's is close, we're on our way home

Death do us part

You can't live to make mistakes
When you're dead and gone
With your heart held in my hand
The memory of your bloodstains
All over broken picture frames

How could you tell me that I was wrong? (I was wrong)
When you would have done the same
Toy with emotions until they're gone (You were wrong)
You would have done the same

I stole your heart
Ripped it out
And smashed it on this floor
You have no need for such a useless thing
Broken, forever more.

Life after this
There's no such thing
You replace my thoughts
With these painful memories
Now you're gone
You're 9 feet under
To far down to ever uncover

How could you tell me that I was wrong? (I was wrong)
When you would have done the same
Toy with emotions until they're gone (you were wrong)
You would have done the same

I stole your heart
Ripped it out
And smashed it on this floor
You have no need for such a useless thing
Broken, forever more.

Leave it all to me
I wont forget about you
Leave it all to me
I'll steal your heart!

Leave it all to me
I wont forget about you
Leave it all to me
I'll steal your heart!

I stole your heart
Ripped it out
And smashed it on this floor
You have no need for such a useless thing
Broken, forever more.

(I stole your heart
Ripped it out
And smashed it on this floor
You have no need for such a useless thing
Broken, forever more.)

Now you're gone
You're 9 feet under
To far down to ever uncover

Now you're gone
You're 9 feet under
To far down to ever uncover

December

Should have seen this coming
You're way too good
For anyone but me
Think about it
Because we know
You do

We start in December
We'll end in November
This time (this time)
We start in December
We'll end in November
This time September
Came too fast too soon

You'll run out of lies
All options have run dry
Cause you're alone
I hope you suffer (hope you suffer)
We know
That you know
That we miss

We start in December
We'll end in November
This time (this time)
We start in December
We'll end in November
This time September
Came too soon

For You, I'll Kill (I'll kill)

We start in December
We'll end in November
This time September
Came too soon

We start in December
We'll end in November
This time (this time)
We start in December
We'll end in November
This time September
Came too soon
Too soon

Every second

The last drop of the bottle fell out
Reluctant not to crash
Enter fading lights
From top of the stage
Set in broken glass

And all these tears and pain
Silent but screaming
Out every name that we've ever loved

And I'll remember every second
Every moment
This can't last forever

The last drop of the bottle fell out
And we were way too late
To save a friend in need
From his family
That didn't treat him right

And all these tears and pain
Silent but screaming
Out every name that that we've ever loved

And I'll remember every second
Every moment
This can't last forever

Every second
Of every moment
Nothing lasts forever

Don't worry
About me
I'll be fine this time

Don't worry
About me
I'll be fine this time
This time

And I'll remember every second
Every moment
This can't last forever

Every second
Of every moment
Nothing lasts forever

Let us breathe softly
And keep this quiet
No one has to know
No one has to know

Let us breathe softly
And keep this quiet
No one has to know
No one has to know

Know... know... know...
