if i close my eyes,
will i fall asleep
and let go for awhile
the secrets that I keep
if i could talk the world down
from all its mistakes
this would be easier to take
this would be easier to take
(sha!)
if i have to die tonight
send me with godspeed,
if i have to die
let it be for you
if i have to die tonight
send me with godspeed,
if i have to die
let it be for you
drying out the windows,
the rain keeps falling
holding time under shelter,
my time is calling
i’ve done all i can do,
but i haven’t done a thing
i hope i can remember
cause this would be easier to take.
(sha!)
if i have to die tonight
send me with godspeed,
if i have to die
let it be for you
if i have to die tonight
send me with godspeed,
if i have to die
let it be for you
if i have to die tonight
send me with godspeed,
if i have to die
let it be for you
it’s something running
through her hair,
it’s something like
a morning after a rainy summer night
somehow crazy for you lately i have
been intoxicated by your pretty punctuality
i won’t mention my intentions
to let you lead me on
and this weakness has me speechless
why is your body so mean to me?
well i’m never coming out
room for two well in your heart
no, i’m never coming out of you
the first day,
the phone fell into my hands
it’s easy sitting all alone and i just might
muster up all my courage and
tell you all about your beauty
and my stupid guitars
i won’t mention my pretentions
cause they almost lead me on
then this weakness has me speechless
why is your body so mean to me?
well i’m never coming out
room for two well in your heart
no, i’m never coming out of you
i just wanted to say
and i just wanted to say
i just wanted to say that i want you
would it be the same
would it be the same
if were say that i want you?
i won’t mention my afflictions
i’ll take you any way
that i can in the sand
why is your body so mean to me?
well I’m never coming out
room for two well in your heart
no, i’m never coming out of you
fairweather friend
it took me too long to find out what i was in for
and fairweather friend here is a song to ease your worried mind
and it’s alright if you stay with me tonight
well until the rain passes by
you’re taking it all away
i never had the time to say
we’ll give it to the sandman, we’ll give it to the rain
we’re bleeding insane trails of memory
we’ll leave it all behind us,
it wouldn’t be the same
in time you begin to fold all your things up,
packing with subtle indifference
and all that we dreamt of was everything,
waiting, until we could leave
and it’s all right if you stay with me
tonight well until the rain passes by
you’re taking it all away
i never had the time to say
we’ll give it to the sandman, we’ll give it to the rain
we’re bleeding insane trails of memory
we’ll leave it all behind us,
it wouldn’t be the same
cause I’m growing old waiting for you
to come around… to come around
you’re taking it all away
i never had the time to say
we’ll give it to the sandman, we’ll give it to the rain
we’re bleeding insane trails of memory
we’ll leave it all behind us,
it wouldn’t be the same
you’re taking it all away
i never had the time to say
we’ll give it to the sandman, we’ll give it to the rain
we’ll give it to the sandman (we’ll give it to the sandman)
we’ll give it to the rain (we’ll give it to the rain)
we’ll give it to the sandman (we’ll give it to the sandman)
we’ll give it to the rain (we’ll give it to the rain)
we’ll give it to the rain (we’ll give it to the rain)
i tried today, i swear i really did
i made the grade, but was it worth the effort?
it was a little too cold of an autumn’s sky
it was a little too late and i don’t know why
your hair fell back in the style of an old cliche
cause i am all but floored by the concept of imperfection
and somehow bored by my own reflection
well off the edge, will we fall down
in our hands, will we fall out
whatever it takes as i’m leaving
i know that it means well, i won’t be back.
in your head you can’t get me out.
living you dead, we get it now.
FUCK!
cause i am all but floored by the concept of imperfection
and somehow bored by my own reflection
well off the edge, will we fall down
in our hands, will we fall out
whatever it takes as i’m leaving
i know that it means well, i won’t be back.
holding what’s weightless it all tears us down
why believe what’s faceless?
it all tears us down.
well off the edge, will we fall down
in our hands, will we fall out
whatever it takes as i’m leaving
i know that it means well, i won’t be back.
i have no strive, no faith, no reason
to keep wasting time on
fickle, faded dreams of you
I’m heading off the deep end
I’m treading in rough waters
don’t you lie, nobody cares
well, hey yeah as in the eyes of the storm
well, hey yeah we’ll issue your warning flag before
you’re dragging me down
you keep me fighting for air
my feet have left the ground
well here comes the undertow
to pass the time, i make armies from a box of matches
and with a strike i could play god
and in a sulfur sting, it proves to be much harder
with the water rushing in
well, hey yeah as in the eyes of the storm
well, hey yeah we’ll issue your warning flag before
you’re dragging me down
you keep me fighting for air
my feet have left the ground
well here comes the undertow
holding the candle tight
before the undertow, yeah
and it’s the pain that keeps her mind
caught in the undertow
open in a closed minded way
never say never again
corrupted in an uncorruptible way
never able to justify goodbye
cause i don’t want to leave this place again
you loved me, you lust me, then you threw me away
believed in an unbelievable way
my eyes are those that see the fall away
freezing because i couldn’t melt the pain
you took me, you broke me, you killed me again
goodbye
cause i don’t want to leave this place again
you loved me, you lust me, then you threw me away
you say i am wrong
and you say i am gone
like a rusty broken thing that somehow feels like home
take me to the waterside
as cherished as we were
let me push your mind aside
cause nothing here’s for sure
you say i am wrong
and you say i am gone
like a rusty broken thing that somehow feels like home
take me to the waterside
as cherished as we were
let me push your mind aside
cause nothing here’s for sure
when will i
fall in love with the whole world in a day
if it’s not too late and
in the wake chapters written for the heart of mistake
the pain it takes, the pain it takes away
it makes you crawl
cause it makes you small
cause i’m falling further than what i was at all
and i like it the way she moves
it’s candid
as i’m failing to be a wreck for you
and i know when i’m through with you
all sharpened eyes looking to cut me up
in the thrill of it all
never me
the door it shuts and all i can see is you’re not there
it boils down to in my head
that you and me
that you and me were never really we
winter in a dream
it makes you crawl
cause it makes you small
cause i’m falling further than what i was at all
and i like it the way she moves
it’s candid
as i’m failing to be a wreck for you
well then i know when i’m through with you
all sharpened eyes looking to cut me up
in the thrill of it all
awake just so i can say goodnight
you run the dreams through all the stairwells in my head
you got me wishing i was something more to give than a sin relief, relief
as i’m failing to be a wreck for you
well then i know when i’m through with you
all sharpened eyes looking to cut me up
in the thrill of it all
and you, well iI know when i’m through with you
to cut me up in the thrill of it all
i love you more than the sands
and the rain and the wind could ever say
i love you more than the moon when it shines
to guide me on my way
does it always hurt like this, holding in the pain?
does it always hurt like this, standing face to face?
cause all i ever wanted
was to hold you by my side
all i ever wanted is gone
my jaded love
all i have for you is pain
lying away, girl
my jaded love
the time in peace
the time in soul
lying away, girl
my jaded love
no
my jaded love
no
my jaded love
no
my jaded love
no
cause all i ever wanted was to hold you by my side
and all i ever wanted is gone.
and all i ever wanted was to hold you by my side
and all i ever wanted
(spoken: this one’s called roses and cyanide)
cause i thought you
were what’s best for me
and now all i see of you
is inside of me
whenever you turn away
i want you even more
you’ll never know this piece of me
when my heart is sore
well i know what fate denied me of
and i know you are only remnants of…
roses and cyanide
i’ll turn my head away
just to see you cry
roses and cyanide
these feelings we hold inside are all we have now
well face it all, face the whole world
to see what we have burned to nothing
to see what we have won
keep away, keep away from me
you’re the one i live for and i don’t wanna breathe
roses and cyanide
i’ll turn my head away
just to see you cry
roses and cyanide
these feelings we hold inside are all we have now
relieve and cry
relieve and cry
roses and cyanide
i turn my head away
just to see you cry
roses and cyanide
these feelings we hold inside are all
these feelings we hold inside are all
these feelings we hold inside are all we have now.
