So let's not even try... you're right.
Let's ball it up and throw it out the window. It's becoming all so clear in my mind. I've thought this thing through more like once or twice. I feel that this is my last request to you. Hold your breath.... bottle it up and save it for the next one. It's safe to say we've been riding this all night. None of this will ever change your mind. It's never safe to rely on borrowed time. Now we're both undone, and it's time to open up your eyes. Consequence, it's our need in times like these. Feeling free... it's our modern disease. You're a classic disaster, with a knack for losing your exterior. I'm so sick... from staring at the mirror. This all needs a break from you, and I'm used to this. I fear that I am just an end. So you play the mistaken... And I'll play the victim in our screenplay of desire... I'm still writing the letters I'll never send. Running in circles I can't forget how many times I've played this in my mind.... feeling free, feeling free. Consequence, it's our need in times like these. Feeling free... it's our modern disease. You're a classic disaster, with a knack for losing your exterior. I'm so sick... from staring at the mirror. This is my panic... This is my call to arms. 02. A Boy Brushed Red Living In Black And White
Can you feel your heartbeat racing?
Can you taste the fear in her sweat? You've done this wrong It's too far gone These sheets tell of regret I admit that I'm just a fool for you I am just a fool for you Here is where we both go wrong Tonight's your last chance to Do exactly what you want to And this could be my night This is what makes me feel alive Makes you feel alive Here is where we both go wrong So sign me up And toss this key 'Cause for now we're living in this moment And we both ignore the truth It's all over It's all over I feel your heart against mine So take a breath and close your eyes Your lungs have failed and they both stopped breathing My heart is dead and its way past beating Something has gone terribly wrong I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this I never thought we'd make it out alive I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes It's all in your goodbyes Well look who's dying now Slit wrists sleeping with the girl next door I always knew you were such a sucker for that It doesn't matter what you say You never mattered anyway Never mattered anyway In this moment that we both ignore the truth It's all over It's all over I feel your heart against mine So take a breath and close your eyes Your lungs have failed and they both stopped breathing My heart is dead and its way past beating Something has gone terribly wrong I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this I never thought we'd make it out alive I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes It's all in your goodbyes Don't shake, I hate to see you tremble Trembling you've lost your touch Haven't you, I'm so addicted Your lungs have failed and they both stopped breathing My heart is dead and its way past beating Something has gone terribly wrong Your lungs have failed and they both stopped breathing My heart is dead and its way past beating Something has gone terribly wrong I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this I never thought we'd make it out alive I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes It's all in your goodbyes I never thought we'd make it out alive It's all in your goodbyes 03. The Impact Of Reason
Prop open the door I can actually see my breath tonight
But that doesn't mean I'm breathing Crack a smile just for the sake of it This could take a while A long while Silence is golden specially in this case I'm not too sure that I want it to be this way Open mouth, closed eyes No words are escaping It's all a blur It's too dark to see Ain't it pretty the way it all streaks together at night Together at night I think it's time to turn around I really want to go home tonight I think it's time to turn around I really want to go home tonight I feel like this is going nowhere I feel like this is going nowhere Try to think of something quick And trust the direction of the driver No lights No signs I'm at a loss for words No lights No signs I'm at a loss for words Now conversation sparks What an easy way to break the ice Now conversation sparks What an easy way to break the ice 04. Reinventing Your Exit
It's 12th and Hide on a Sunday
Feeling like we're gold And we're nothing short of invincible It starts again Can you feel it? It takes your breath away Stop saying that we're invincible (it's round and round) You're uninviting, unrewarding And I'm misinforming you We all want to be somebody Right now we're just looking for the exit This is the way I would have done things Up against the wall You've got me up against your wall It's you and me on a Monday The lies that we told This is were we both go numb now You broke my heart again this time You're fading now, you crossed the line We all want to be somebody Right now we're just looking for the exit This is the way I would have done things Up against the wall You've got me up against your wall Reaching out for a hand that's not there But you're not there and I'm not This is the way I would have done things Up against the wall This is the way we should have done things When we're up against a wall Up against a wall 05.

06. It Is Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door
I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep I've prayed for your safe place And its time for us to leave Time is running, its running on empty and the gas is running out I've decided that tonight is the night That I let love aside Full speed ahead this seems to be the place I've seen this once before Planned perfection sought in my dreams Hoping this would take you home My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight So kiss me one last time Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow The people will all gather To remember such a day Where the flames grew as high as trees And the world stopped for you and me My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight Kiss me one last time (Shut your eyes) My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight (So hold on tight) Kiss me one last time (Shut your eyes) I will now bring new meaning to the word alone Endless nights of dreaming of life And the days we should have spent here Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep Glass shatters and comes to a halt I thought we'd be there by now I thought it would be so much quicker than this Pain has never been so brilliant I made sure you were buckled in Now you can walk hand in hand Hand in hand with him My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight Kiss me one last time (Shut your eyes) My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight (so hold on tight) Kiss me one last time (Shut your...) 07. Down, Set, Go
I had the whole world in my hands, but I gave it away...
I had the whole world in my hands, but I gave it away... Gave it away. I'm a half-wit boy, cracking a smile and wearing it all on my sleeve. So cool and so poised It's true, I'm just around to see Where this thing goes I'll never know, but all I know is Packing Bags is a remedy It's a remedy This time I'll be nervous 'cause I can't see your hands In front of me... (in front of me...) Tonight, I've spoken. Let's forget all pretense of what they thought we should be What liars we can be I'm on my way to the top of the world, And I've got a feeling I'll give it away. I'm on my way to the top of the world, And I've got a feeling I'll give it away. She's a maverick, she's so smooth... If things go according to plan, I'll have her finished by five A.M. There's no changing plans, there's no second chance, I've already got both feet through the door And I can taste the air, I can taste the air. This time I'll be nervous 'cause I can't see your hands in front of me (In front of me tonight) Let's forget all pretense of what they thought we should be What liars we can be. Make a sound, it's safe for you, To choke in here alone Whatever I say goes (whatever I say goes) Whatever I say goes (whatever I say goes) You're not here with me, you're not here with me You're not here with me, you're not here with me You're not here with me, you're not here with me You're not here with me, you're not here with me 08. I Do Not Feel Very Receptive Today
This door has been shut for days
And it's all too familiar Can't I just crack a window Can't I just shake it off? I'm sure I've tasted this before, before, before... I'm sure I've tasted this before... Everything is out of reach And I just want to see outside The air (the air) has been getting thin I feel like cutting it open tonight, tonight And falling on the floor There's nothing left unused in here There's nothing left to say I haven't talked in days And I'm really not too sure What I sound like anymore My vision has gone and my mouth is full, is full of sores I feel like dripping it dry tonight Over and over again It's time (it's time) to open up the door 09. I Am Content With Losing
Like I said: "Leave your baggage at the back door."
Where I'm leaving you the way I think it should be. We're always pulling into spaces (that we can't back out of) Starting fight we can't talk our way out of them (talk our way out of this) Talk our way out of this. How does it feel to be on the receiving end of this one? Of this one? I'm half way there, (and it's all on me) This is what I get for wanting more, For wanting more. This is the way it has to be Dancing on all these changes So I walk around with this rope in my hand (rope in my hand) So I'll tie it around, and around and around. I'll tie me down. I'll fantasize of being manic and leaving us behind. In your eyes, you were the one that tried. Acceptance is what holds us here Then you my dear are the one I fear tonight. We'll try this one more time. This is the moment that we all live for. Are you ready? Are you ready? I'm half way there, (and it's all on me) This is what I get for wanting more, For wanting more. This is the way its got to be. Dancing on all these changes So I walk around with this rope in my hand (rope in my hand) So I'll tie it around, and around and around. I'll tie me down. You can't see past my waving hands. (just running away again) You can't see past my waving hands. (good-bye) You think so loud it hurts my ears I want to know how to get through this Without choking up I want to know how to get through this Without choking up I can't feel you You're so far from me This is what I get for wanting more This is what I get for wanting more (and its all on me) This is what I get for wanting more This is what I get for wanting more (and its all on me) This is what I get for wanting more This is what I get for wanting more (and its all on me) 10. Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape
I heard a voice through the discord
Of a deluge of passersby. I saw one gaze frozen in time Watching me passing by. I swear I'll know your face in the crowd, And I'll hear your voice so loud When you're whispering... Hey unfaithful I will teach you To be stronger, to be stronger. Hey ungraceful I will teach you To forgive one another. Here's my kiss to betray Desperate to brush the lips of grace. Do you feel hollow when you think of how I've lied? Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning Wrap your loving arms around me. Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning Wrap your loving arms around me. Hey unfaithful I will teach you To be stronger, to be stronger. Hey ungraceful I will teach you To forgive one another. Hey unfaithful I will teach you To be stronger, to be stronger. Hey unloving, I will love you, I will love you, I will love you. Hey unloving I will love you Jesus I'm ready to come home. Hey unfaithful Hey ungraceful Hey unloving I will love you 11. I've Got 10 Friends And A Crowbar That Says You Ain't Gonna Do Jack
Carry out the sound
Past our eyes horizon I'm standing still, I'm standing still Waiting for this all to change Now my hands are up. I'm walking out, I'm walking out What do you expect of me? Did you think that this was all an excuse for hospitality I know you think its all because of me At first glance, I'll breathe in Leaving myself no room to move, at all My mind is so flooded and I'm drunk with regret Swimming in a sea of hope tonight I find your hand and trace it with mine As we push away with everything we have With everything we have left Oh you're acting on my words We can start the fire, that will light up the night No I wouldn't be too sure of you at all We'll watch it burn together on respective sides We look so good, as we fall I'll go ahead and re-elect perfection Its never looked as good as it does on you right now I'll go ahead and make an incision Doubt you'll feel anything at all A fake, a fraud, forked tongue and I am nervous At least I can say I made it out this time I am just fine where you have left me As for you be sure to cover up your mouth Oh you're acting on my words We can start the fire, that will light up the night No I wouldn't be too sure of you at all I don't know how to say this My thoughts have just run out 14.
