Pill

Bleed me dry of feelings
Take away my pain
Rape my personality
You can lie and say I’m sane
And I’m dependent on your levity
Though it’s muddled and often fleeting
And my vacuous brand of grandiloquence
Seems to melt into a sheep’s bleating
Just follow the heard
Stay second or third
Though I’m first to stammer a quixotic word
But it carries no weight
And it floats with no gravity
No feeling, no meaning, but bears no depravity
So it’s success in its failure
A lacquer finish to the façade
I’m a functioning sub-servant to the
So-called servants of God
Bleed me dry of my feelings
Take away my pain
Rape my personality
Lie and say I’m sane

To My Love
04:12

Can you tell me something that I don’t already know?
Can you point me toward a future that’s impossible?
Can you look me in the eyes and see the truth that lies – behind?
Can you help me find the pieces of the love I lost?
Can you feel the quiet beating of my broken heart?
Just tell me everything is gonna be alright even though it’s not
I just wanna hear you talk to me
Chorus:
You took me under your wing
Showed me its alright to want to sing
Oh you saved me from becoming what I think
I want you to come home
Stop hangin ‘round with ametures and clones
Of the ones who made you beautiful
Since when did money become more important than the feel?
Since when did you become so self-absorbed and so surreal?
Cause my love I’ve not forgotten what we’ve seen and everything we made it through
I’m so in love with you
Is it because everyone you loved abandoned you?
Is it because we destroy those who receive your truth?
But music it’s your job to bring us close than we have ever been
Oh we need you once again!
(Chorus)
We’re the ones that made you beautiful
I’m the one that made you beautiful

Watch Love Die
04:10
|

Well I’m afraid of changing up my life
And I’m afraid of love
And I’m afraid that I’m losing you tonight
Cause I’m afraid of what was
And I don’t wanna be the bearer of bad news
But the further that you run the more I fall for you
And so you come a little closer
But I just push you away
But I need you here today
And I was afraid of telling you the truth
Cause what if you only loved my lies?
And I was afraid of saying things to soon
And now its too late to even try
And now I see you’ve gone and found yourself another man
Who can probably give you everything I know I can’t
And cause of all of my faults, you’re not here by my side
I put our love into a coma
And I watched it die – Oh I watched it die

Far From Love
05:36
|

I hope your listening safe inside your bed
And I hope that you’ve heard every song and everything I’ve said
And I hope that you are happy now safe inside his lies
And I hope my memory haunts you until the day you die
Oh because look at me look at me
I’m fallin apart as you can see
I’m lying to myself because I know that I cannot be free
Because its something borrowed, something blue
And something old and something new
And everything is perfect for your brand new man and you – well
Chorus:
Here’s the last song that you’ll ever get from me
I hope my memory haunts you everytime you try to sleep
But I’m a liar cause you’re all I’m dreaming of
Now I am so close to the edge cause you’re so far from love
I hope you’re happy now with everything you’ve done
And I hope one day you’re staring down the barrel of a gun
And then I hope one thought prevails and conquers all your mind
A photo of the boy you loves and cruelly left behind
Oh because it used to be wedding bells and then it all went to hell
Because we fell and broke our shell and everything is going wrong – so wrong
And now its pills and bottles just to drown my sorrow because
Nothing keeps me company except these clumsy songs – these songs – well
(Chorus)
Oh because look at me look at me
I’m fallin apart as you can see
I’m lying to myself because I know that I cannot be free
Because its something borrowed, something blue
And something old and something new
And everything is perfect for your brand new man and you
Oh because it used to be wedding bells and then it all went to hell
Because we fell and broke our shell and everything is going wrong – so wrong
And now its pills and bottles just to drown my sorrow because
Nothing keeps me company except these clumsy songs – these songs – well
(Chorus)

The Girl With No Soul
04:20
|
|||
|
She hollowed out his soul
Then forced him to refill it
With those pointless tears that he shed in her wake
And now he’s losing all control
And that bottle won’t help kill it
He screams “you crushed me cause you chose him over me”
Chorus:
Now she cries every night
Cause all he had was way more than enough
And she tries to tell him
But her words and actions killed the boy she loved
Now she lives in sin
And those boys are all her prey
She carries ‘round that bag of hearts all day
And her toxic scent lures them
Oh she turns those boys to stone
They crumble while she eats their spirits whole
(Chorus)
Oh and nobody knows why she does this!
It seems this girl just has no soul to bear!
And nobody tries to see those tears in her eyes
Or the cold wind that blows through her hair
And she’s desperately searching for something
Something that she can’t even describe
And those thousands of souls just will not fill up that hole
And neither will her millions of lies
And she knows where she stands
But she don’t know where she lies
You gotta find that boy
Without any courage
Find the boy
Without any courage
Find the boy
Without any courage or soul.

These Four Walls
06:32

Am I content to write for these four walls?
Let my heart spill out to no one at all
Let the words meet the air, fill the room, then disappear
Watch them stain the paper and forget that they’re even there
Chorus:
Ambition runnin way to high
Every step I climb is twice the fall
A choir singin in my mind
They’re singing “Charlie you missed your call”
If I could just go back in time
I would have never started singing at all
And I’d escape and I would tear down these four walls
Am I content to lie to everyone?
Say I’m happy and that my actions are all in good fun
And lock the door and swallow poison! Start the cycle over again
Continue screaming; continue crying to my only friends
(Chorus)
Ambition coming back to a high
I’ll keep climbing even after I fall
Demons screaming in my mind
They’re saying “give up boy this mountain’s too tall”
If I could just go back in time
I wouldn’t try to change anything at all
Cause I’ll escape and I will tear down these four walls
