Veronica Sawyer smokes


Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
who's world I had designed,
but the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears to my wide eyes.
Dying just to see you...
dying since I misconstrued your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.

Oh I saw you every time I closed my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well, I'd written every line...
but you strayed far from my flawless script
on which I'd spent a lifetime!
Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.

Wake up call


If I had my way I'd wish them away,
but I can't find the magic inside of me.
I'll give my best, cause I can give no more,
but your problems aren't solved so easily.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
If I could heal all the pain that you feel,
I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside.
Unfortunately, I have no degree and I can not anesthetize.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
whoa!
I wish that I could help you.
whoa!
I can't even help myself.
whoa!
It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not.
right! whoa!
I wish that I could help you.
whoa!
I can't even help myself.
whoa!
It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not.

Weathered tome


They're coming 'round again. I've returned and they've been waiting.
Their aged offererings received and returned, passed through wet eyes.
I tremble as I feel them rolling in for, my sins, the old ghosts know.
So chilling as I feel them mourn within my soul. As the mourning grows.
Unfold before me. Turn back the page again.
Twenty four hours spent wishing that the day was never ending.
Shadows of glory shading my heart again.
Recall the summer when I left my heart to cool beneath the shadows I'm coming 'round again.
I've returned and no one's waiting.
I strain my eyes to see but it's so hard to read the old tags on the fallen walls.

Wester


I can feel you waiting for me as the sun retreats to the hills and I,
Below the blanket of a burning sky, wrap myself within.
Embraced by dead leaves as the rain leaves trails of black down my face,
And I creep through the twilight to that
hidden place beyond the lonely.
I'll meet you tonight in the whispers when no one's around.
Nothing can stop us now.
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found.
Nothing can stop us now.
I can feel you dreaming of me and the time when our steps are retraced
and I creep through the twilight to that hidden place,
beyond the lonely, I'll meet you.
Beneath a dream, lost in a dream tonight.
Smile.

Who knew


Every single notion burned indelibly.
Every motion leaving scars behind.
All sincere emotion received skeptically with no preparation for life eternal.
Every tear that's fallen brings one thousand floods.
Paper cuts are leaving blood behind.
All the silent laughter ringing piercingly.
I blink making my eyes mine.
Words in their worthlessness, they should be weighted down, but do I truly wish their cessation?

Who said you could touch me


You don't know I am so,
you can not get close to me
and I don't know who you are,
so just leave me alone.
I know you can't believe
the anxiety you're causing me
and I know you can't believe
your fake compassion I don't need.
Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone,
who said you could touch me anyway?
Don't try to rub my shoulders
and don't try to hold my hand.
Don't try to give me a fucking hug.
You crawl on me as if I were your very best of friends.
I don't even know your name.
Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone,
who said you could touch me anyway?
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. ah!

Your name here


It's the same old situation, it seems it's coming around again.
I won't play the fool, I'm not screwing around.
I only play to win. I only want what I deserve so who are you
trying to kid? You can call it like you see it,
but I call it like it is. I'm sick of shrugging off your petty little ways.
The names are always changing, in the end it's just a game.
We're running in a circle, a never ending chase.
You keep on stepping out of reach, but you never win the race.
No more waiting around, no more hanging around,
no more dragging me down.
Everything's so easy for you,
but I've struggled to get this far. I'm all alone in the fight.
What's wrong, who's right? I take it all to heart.
Your true colors start to show, you call yourself a friend.
The teams are drawn, you chose your side, you'll get yours in the end.
You play along to the same old song just as long as you can win.
When someone better comes along,
you're too cool to let them in.
So now I've got you wondering if I've got it in for you.
I'd like to tell you different, but I can't because it's true.

You keep on sayin' that you want to know me
but you never show me your true self.
How can you ever expect someone else to know you
when all you're going to do is just pretend that you're someone else?
You keep on sayin' that you want to show me
that you're really different, but your just the same.
If you're really mindless then there is no way
that I can win, maybe you're just one of them, or maybe it's just a game.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
Remain alone. Remain alone. I'm not exactly sure of your motivation.
I'm not exactly sure what you're tryin' to do.
All I'm really sure is that you're not too
impressive and you're wearin' a mask that I can't see through.
Maybe you're not looking for acceptance.
Maybe you're striving for something more.
If it's status that you lust then why try to be one of us?
You're someone we'll never trust cause we know the score.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
Remain alone. You remain alone. Oh!
I can't see through. I can't see you. I can't see through. I can't see you.
