can't be too careful anymore when all that is waiting for you

i settled down a twisted up frown disguised as a smile, well, you would have never known

they taped over your mouth scribbled out the truth with their lies your little spies

oh no, i just keep on falling (back to the same old) and where's hope, when misery comes crawling? (oh my way, eh) with your fate, you'll trigger a landslide (victory) and kill off this common sense of mine

if only time flew like a dove

it's not faith if, if you use your eyes

tell me why? we live like this

but i let my heart go, it's somewhere down at the bottom but i'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen

they echo me in circles

tell me that i'm alright, that i ain't gonna die

and i bet everybody here is just as insincere

of all the weapons you fight with, your silence is the most violent

i got so good at fighting chemicals and dodging arrows i was asking for, wading through the fog and then it disappeared, naked when i'm here

reaching as i sink down into light (into light)

but turn it off, in all my spite, in all my spite, i'll turn it off

yeah-eh, yeah

won't look back 'cause there's no use, it's time to move forward

i've got a tight grip on reality but i can't let go of what's in front of me here, i know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up, leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

the way you fight shy of almost everything

forgiving is not forgetting

it takes some time to let you go

and the snakes, they are slithering in chasing me to my end, i can't say where that is i'm running again

i've hoped for change, but still, i feel the same

if you thought i'd leave then you were wrong

we've tried so hard to understand but we can't

keep pushing and pulling me down, when i know in my heart it's not you

i'd still wave goodbye watching you shine bright

somehow everything's gonna fall right in, to place

could it be that i've changed or did you?

all that i want is a hole in the ground, you can tell me when it's alright for me to come out

i can't force these eyes to see the end

what if i told ‘em now that i'm older there isn't a moment that i'd wanna change? now i crave, crave to do it again

i got so good at fighting chemicals and dodging arrows i was asking for, wading through the fog and then it disappeared, naked when i'm here

see i'm gonna draw my lipstick wider than my mouth and if the lights are low they'll never see me frown

i wanna know what it'd be like to find perfection in my pride, to see nothing in the light

think of me when you're out, when you're out there

and i don't pick up when you call 'cause your voice is a gun, every word is a bullet hole, shot a hole in the sun

feeling empty

we still live in the same town, well, don't we? but i don't see you around anymore. i go to all the same places, not even a trace of you, your days are numbered at twenty four

and the grass wasn't green enough here after watering it with my tears

hit that, hit that snare

you can take your time

keep me safe inside your arms like towers, tower over me, yeah

but i let my heart go, it's somewhere down at the bottom but i'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen

and under red lights i'll show myself it wasn't forged

would someone care to classify our broken hearts and twisted minds, so i can find someone to rely on? and run to them, to them, full speed ahead

so one day he found her crying coiled up on the dirty ground, her prince finally came to save her and the rest you can figure out

the ones we trusted the most pushed us far away

don't you know that we're all alone now? give me something to sing about

and i've got war, a war, a war, right behind my eyes, right behind 'em just like a headache
