Here's to Wasted Time

These words are no result
Of any action I'd commit
It's just my love for violent theories
That with time I've chose to knit
Into a dark and scratchy sweater
Made with rage in every stitch
And I will wear these clothes so proudly
Causing everything to shift
Into the darkest dreams of catastrophes
And the victim on my list
It's my personal discretion
How much longer I should live
But they drug me up and sit me down
In my nothing left to give
And after all is said and done
I'll just agree to plead the fifth
(I won't say a word)
This is for all the years that I never smoked
All the lies that I never told
And it's for all the things that I never said
Now swimming through my head
Is this what you thought
Not the life you've always dreamed about
So where to go from here
Towards the light at the other end of the sea
Get up, Get out and don't look back
We didn't get this far just to turn back
I know it's courage that I lack
But I'm running as fast as I can
The waves are crashing on my head
Like a bridge that all at once collapsed
The death toll is the rapture of my pride
But I'm done being scared and lost tonight
This is for all the years that I never smoked
All the lies that I never told
And it's for all the things that I never said
Now swimming through my head

Bullets and Bandages
05:14

There's a man gun drawn with his eyes to the floor
He's about to give up everything that he's worked for
He lights up a cig to settle his nerves
And with every breath the smoke represents every word
That he never said
He never could talk
To God or himself
So he just carried the thought
Of what if he did
Would that be a sin
Or would that be something that God could forgive
Would he forgive himself for everything else
Is it that hard to live inside his own skin
And we all live in doubt of what we can't figure out
But if we knew we'd have nothing new to shout about
And it's all going down
On the wrong side of town
Where the hospital
Is nowhere to be found
Call the ambulance
To fill him with blood
And we'll try our best
To reverse what he's done
There's a girl pen drawn on a loose leaf sheet
She paints on her face everything that she needs
And from what it seems behind the make-up she dreams
Of a life she made up made of movies screens
She stopped talking to God several months ago
When the beatings from her drunken father started to show
It was a secret she kept she never felt so alone
Now she's out finding friends to take her home
And with every day she wears a new tattoo
Just a quick fix for her black and blues
And she zippers up those big black boots
In hopes that it will bring her any bit closer to the truth
And it's all going down on the good side of town
Where the quickest fix is nowhere to be found
Call the ambulance to give her a lift
After all she's done it's come down to this
We are the ones who live with doubt
Out throats too sore, too sore to shout
The things we never said, we spill them out
In violent red
In violent red

We all try to live in sync
In time without consequences
Like skin without the ink
Pure, without all the markings
Of life we live so bitter
And so full of regret
We can't help but consider
A distant fragile end
We were bred to call it life
But have only grown to suffer
Looking back from where I am
It never really ends
We're too petty to agree
Our love was only letters
I knew you better then
Now we are only strangers
And we ended it so bitter
And so full of regret
We couldn't help but consider
A sure and shallow end
We thought we had it made
But only made each other suffer
Looking back from where I am
It should have ended years ago
I made it all up years ago
I made it up so you would learn to love me
Allow me to explain
I swear I'll make it short
Allow me to explain
I swear it's worth your while
I fill these blank pages
With lies and false statements
Like crooks in their cages
Just left there to rot
I fill these small stairwells
With stories and tall tails
Like a train where the track fails
All hope is gone
Set up like a sonnet
The line ends regardless
But like a drop through a faucet
It never seems to stop
So if it's just how you planned it
To the breath your life ended
From the moment you saw him
You knew we'd gone wrong

Ghosts

I got what I deserved
It's all that we can give
And as far as I'm concerned
We've given up our right to live
Up until today it didn't exist
What's ignored just goes away
Without us knowing what we've missed
And it's all down hill from here
Take a good look and you'll see
We will find out for ourselves
What it is we've come to be
The shackles will surely fall
From our ankles finally freed
We will look up to the clouds
Just another vacancy
I've come to terms with all the things that I said
Just sit here quietly, let it hang over our heads
Like ghosts still breathing, holds true like a stain
It will haunt our minds until nothing remains
I will tear these tangled veins out for everyone to see
It will stain your favorite dress and it will never quite come clean
This is the spilling of my guts, this is admittance of defeat
I will wear these precious cuts like my heart out on my sleeve
And I've come to terms with all the things that I said
Just sit here quietly, let it hang over our heads
Like ghosts still breathing, holds true like a stain
It will haunt our minds until nothing remains

I wrote you a note on the back of a postcard
Jotted your address down, but it never found the box
All we ever did was shatter our courage
If I could take it all back, you know I would
You know I would
I hope you're tucked in tight
And that he sang you off to sleep
And the drugs will ease your tired mind
And send you off into your dreams
So get to crying because it suits you so well
You've got a knack for lying, oh what stories you would tell
So intricate, so desperate, you're lying through your teeth
The words you spill they used to drink the blood you stole from me
I could write for forty days of how you've littered up my dreams
Strewn out gore of pleasant things, oh, what joy destruction brings
And I'll watch the snowflakes fall out the corners of your eyes
And the frost bite will find your appendages as I sift through guilt and lies
How could you possibly believe that I could trust a single word you speak
If the weight was just too much is it really me who's being week
My hands keep the rope from around my throat but I can't keep it off my mind
Just useless words and wasted time
We've beat this bloody horse to pulp
I hope you're tucked in tight
And that he sang you off to sleep
And the drugs will ease your tired mind
And send you off into your dreams
So get to crying because it suits you so well
You've got a knack for lying, oh what stories you would tell
So intricate, so desperate, you're lying through your teeth
The words you spill they used to drink the blood you stole from me
So go buy yourself some roses and a table for two
Make up all your excuses for why I'm finished with you
And your house will meet my matchbox as the gasoline extends
To your door up from the front porch where the arsony begins

Lying Lovers
05:34
|
|||
|
The mountains look like lying lovers
Silhouettes on powder blue
The innocence of smiling faces
Cause me now to think of you
My place still warm from where I laid
It never cooled because I was replaced
You were what I though had meaning
But I guess for you that was not the case
My memories are of lying lovers
One of which I can't forget
Now I spend my time
telling books from covers
Wondering what the suffering meant
My voice is not that of the choirs
It's coarse and wrought with self punishment
Because of which I'm hooked to wires
A constant watch where I've been sent
My place still warm from where I laid
It never cooled because I was replaced
You were what I though had meaning
But I guess for you that was not the case
We'll walk our ways
We'll split our paths
We'll sleep beneath
The aftermath
The city is gone
But we remain
We'll drown the past
Forget our names

I've conjured my demons
I've drowned in the past
I've picked at my cuts
Just to make the anguish last
It's all been for nothing
I waste so much time
Accusing the victims
Of all of my crimes
I fell into a darkened room
And I have made my bed
I used my words to break your skin
But I'm the one who bled
After all is said and done we will find out for ourselves
What emerges from our mess
I've tried my damnedest
To leave you alone
Sometimes I get carried
Away with my phone
I'll wake up embarrassed
By what I have said
The last couple drinks I got
Went straight to my head
I fell into a darkened room
And I have made my bed
I used my words to break your skin
But I'm the one who bled
After all is said and done we will find out for ourselves
What emerges from our mess
If your heart decides to stop
I'll pump the blood with my hands
And if your lungs refuse to breath
Oh, I'll give you what air I can
And if you could just forgive me of my sins
Oh, I swear I'll leave you be
I fell into a darkened room
And I have made my bed
I used my words to break your skin
But I'm the one who bled
And if you could just forgive me of my sins
Oh, I swear I'll leave you be

Well Enough, Alone
03:26
|

|
All is well as far as you can tell
But I'll never tell the truth
All the mistakes I've made in youth
Haunt me now as ghosts of you
Rest your eyes, little one
Daybreak finds you so unaware
Light spills in your room
Like summer wraps the earth anew
Winter's chill still got your bones
Still got your bones
I know you, you never trusted me
I know I was far too trusting
These childish dreams I cling onto
Haunt me now as ghosts of you
Rest your eyes, little one
Daybreak finds you so unaware
Light spills in your room
Like summer wraps the earth anew
Winter's chill still got your bones
Still got your bones

Unfinished Rooms
03:26
|

|
We'll clear our names before we go
You'd be shocked to find out what we already know
So there's no point to the sugar coats
They're not offering warmth just the comfort in stories you've told
Like something I just can't decide
You will hang in my head till I make up my mind
Like a voice in an unfinished room
You reverberate slowly as my thought patterns bloom
Like a symphony swelling the phrase
Tears will pour from your eyes down the side of your face
To a chorus of shivering sighs
When you finally come down from that adventure behind your eyes
I promise my intentions were clean
But the ghost of the stairwell is haunting my dreams
It just hangs like the smoke in the air
Just think back to the moment, was it really me who was there
All you wanted was to read from that book
Who was I to deny you what could be your last look
At the pages that gave you such strength
While I'm left without comfort, as you withered away
And I can not wait to understand what you meant
When you said you'd leave the light on when you got where you're going
So where are you now
And does that offer still stand
|

Walk with me
We will own the symmetry of the oceans
And all will see the intricacies of galaxies
Endless starlight in shades of black
We will show them that we are back
And we mean business
We follow signs and constellations
Before our eyes the paths are changing
And I'm happily lost, the view's amazing
Whatever cost, I'd live to die here
Among the stars and turning planets
Like dancer's sway
I feel the motion set in place
Love's conversation through youthful eyes
Ancient affection stands up to time for generations
The spark of life, the moment we all were born
The moment we all were born
So close the blinds and we will wait our turn
We will chase the sun till the horizon blurs
And I will hold you like a lesson dearly learned
After all I've seen, you're all I've observed

Don't ever tell a soul
It was compassion that we stole
Wear it proud around our necks
Like a precious stone in gold
But the chain has turned to rope
And the grip seems far too close
For comfort and we know
This place is not our home
Anymore
I will follow you till the world turns to dust
And lines the pockets of our adolescent lust
Shovel handfuls to the ones that we trust
To never let us down
Several years have passed
And I know I'm getting older
My bones will start to break
And weight grow on my shoulders
My blood is filled with drugs
Meant to keep the courage flowing
My time is gonna come
Without me ever knowing
The truth
I will follow you till the world turns to dust
And lines the pockets of our adolescent lust
Shovel handfuls to the ones that we trust
To never let us down
Feel the shiver on the back of your neck
It's something that you'll have to learn to forget
Left from when your father passed away
Your faith died that very same day
I will follow you till the world turns to dust
Until the buildings have all fallen to rust
When the course of fate meets our demands
We'll stop to wash the dirt from our hands
I will follow you till the world turns to dust
Until the buildings have all fallen to rust
When the course of fate meets our demands
We'll stop to wash the dirt from our hands
