Ups, Downs, and Tonight

Tonight, I struggle to find the words
It's all I see,
It's you
Tonight, all right
and you'll never really ever settle anything at all
It's all right
Tonight, I struggle to find a way
It's all I see,
It's you
Tonight, all right
and you'll never really ever settle anything at all
it's all right...
And when we finally land, we finally let ourselves go
And on that foggy day we can't find a way,
we'll abandon ship!
And I'll navigate, I'll find a way back
back to you
I won't stop
I won't stop
Love
Tonight…
It's all I see,
It's you
Tonight, all right, and you'll never really ever
settle down
It's all right...

To Be / To Burn
03:28

I'm not trying hard enough
Going's getting pretty rough
And all along
I go on alone.
Lately been worried that
I don't find it odd at all
If I incinerate it all
It's all a lie, I don't want to live
All along, it's all a lie I don’t want to live,
All along, it’s all a lie I don't want
Maybe I'm not meant to be
Maybe it's my destiny
to kiss this cigarette goodnight
Better lost soul than a lost cause, right?
Lately been worried that
I don't find it odd at all
If I incinerate it all
It's all a lie, I don't want to live
All along, it's all a lie I don’t want to live,
All along, it’s all a lie I don't want
All along, this song will die with me
This commotion and clamor
This delusion of glamor

Attention!

Now that I hold your attention
I'll direct it to maladroit self-expression,
sung by me
This is a different breed of love song, one that I set ablaze!
It's over, it's over!
I bide my time,
Held in a loft parity
I might sing so soft a parody,
I bite my tongue
This is a different breed of love song, one that I'm using to chill!
It's over, it's over!
I bide my time,
Held in a loft parity
I might sing so soft a parody,
I bite my tongue
To transpose in blood
I might sing so soft a parody,
I bite my tongue
I might sing so soft a parody,
I bite my tongue

A Way Out
03:09
|
|

Well, it started off as a gift
and now I'm kicking myself for trying so hard
and it started off as a gift
and now I'm picking myself apart for trying hard to find out
A will or a way out
of everyone that wants
to kill or delay
my mind-reading
I think I just need a lift
my face, the lines are as long as false faults go
and it's ending up as a rift
and now I'm breaking my head, sifting through lead, straining to find
clarity
You always knew, always will, they're surrounding you
A will or a way out
of everyone that wants
to kill or delay
my mind-reading
(God…)
I always knew, always will, they're surrounding us
Dear God, I want this,
Dear God, I want this
I'll make damn sure talking heads will roll now that I know
I always knew, always knew, always knew
DEAR GOD, I WANT THIS!
DEAR GOD I WANT THIS!
I SWEAR THAT I WILL,
WILL BE KNOWN BY FALL!
No one gets away
now that I know what's in us is poisonous
And now I'm taking control,
the five of us
We always knew, always will, they're surrounding you
A will or a way out
of everyone that wants
to kill or delay
my mind-reading

Crisis
03:13

This shit's fucked up
last time I checked, you claimed to not know
now I'm a wreck 'cause I know something's going down
one can suspect, but wish you'd say so
more more more, we’ll bite our tongue, more more more, you’ll steal our lung
(we wait for you to tell your lies)
Been so down, on my luck and
something's up, but I'm not sure what
familiar bond's about to fall apart
this is wrong,
because we said:
more more more, we'll bite our tongue, more more more, you'll steal our lung
(we wait for you to tell your lies)
more more more, we'll bite our tongue, more more more, you'll steal our lung
(we wait for you to tell your lies)
Well that's just fine! Patience is one of my names
I'll wait in line
for you to choose left from right!
We go along with your lack of direction and identity crisis
Crisis
There's an, there’s an up for every down!
Bite our tongue, and more more more, you'll steal our lung
(we wait for you to tell your lies)
Well that's just fine, patience is one of my names!
I'll wait all night
for you to choose left from right!

Fortune smiles upon my potential and I began dwelling on the flipside
I'm capable of many once-in-a-lifetime moments,
the evidence is in their profile
Consider yourself lucky
to hear me and everyone else
I've spent my precious time with
Malleable, soft, dense and elusive...
I'm gold
It's so easy to make up new friends
but so hard to keep the old ones on your mind.
I'm capable of many once in a lifetime moments
but I can't shake the feeling!
Consider yourself lucky
to hear me and everyone else
I've spent my precious time with
Malleable, soft, dense and elusive...
I'm gold
I'm twenty and so free
I've new eyes, aimed to the skies,
a somber kind of song bird
I'm twenty, and I'm me
Consider yourself lucky
to hear me and everyone else
I've spent my precious time with

Restless Nights
02:55
|
|

our hopes and dreams float about the air,
caught in webs/strands wavy hair.
spiders -- they seek to devour every unborn hour.
this reminds me of a lucid nightmare
of all these listless nights
and all these fistless fights...
remember when we got along?
our voices lent themselves to this song and they
echo
through misled, cloudy obscurity
our starry-eyed, make-believe maturity...
our memories float about the air...

These dusty stairs lead nowhere but to a higher fall
foundation's failing all around
what else is new?
nothing
every time it's been all the same
now it's broken and who's to blame for
Pictures surround my feet
and now I'm hiding underneath what was my room
who turned out all the lights?
you did, go grab a broom
it's always the same, every time
and who's to blame for this mess?
Pictures surround my feet
I hate to talk about all the things
you said you'd like to do in a year
or two, or three....
maybe we could, maybe we
could be
(things that you said you'd like to do)
every time we forget to blame ourselves
Pictures surround my feet
Pictures surround my feet
Pictures
I don't want to break
I don't want to stop
I don’t want to break
I don’t want to stop

I Can't Breathe
03:24

If this is the end, I can't
If this is the end, I can't breathe
But I won't drown
No, I won't drown
What am I so afraid of? I don't know... I can't get over it
If this is the end, I can't breathe
Resisting the tide of change
has got me
And it's pulling me under
I'm sinking 'cause I'm thinking
But I won't drown
No, I won't drown
What am I so afraid of? I don't know... I can't get over it
Of all the fish in the sea, what am I so afraid of? I don't know!
I can't get over
I can't fall in love
Without you, you, you
To catch me
I won't drown
I won’t drown
I won’t drown, but
What am I so afraid of? I don't know, but it's taking over me
If this is the end
I can't

Save Yourself
03:22

To the stars above;
send my words on a wind, that heeds these words:
“Strike down my foes
make them pay for their perversions”
so just give up,
yeah, don't believe in me
you don't know empathy, to be so kind
you do what you do just to make it through,
you worship nothing but yourself,
you're on your own.
(help)
To the stars above;
send my prayers on a wind, that heeds these words-
“Please tell me, what are we fighting for?”
I would kill for you
but so would they
so just give up,
yeah, don't believe in me
you don't know empathy, to be so kind
you do what you do just to make it through,
you worship nothing but yourself,
you're on your own.

Say Goodbye
03:33

It's a nice day and the sun's not out
my favorite
we can play and sing and even shout
let's savor it
and when it's over, I try not to pout
but you know all about me
it's a perfect night but something's not right
defeated
the familiar sound of rejection's howl's repeated
and now it's over, I try not to pout
but you know all about me
over and over I remold her
we're both like clay, let's play
I’m so scared we’re gonna stop
and it’s been over, I try not to pout
but you know all about me
over and over I remold her
we're both like clay, let's play
say goodbye to the world
fell in love with a girl

December
03:34

It feels so empty, without a soul around
hiding out underground
Is so lonely, so useless
So I went out
Saw everything,
what did I find?
Total silence.
For all bad men to burn in hell
The sky really fell,
The sky really fell
Everyone could die ‘cause they would not lend an ear
Gets me way down
Way down
I’m alive
‘cause I stayed inside
I hate everything.
I wanted the world still and white, like December
All the voices
Sing with me now, their tragedy
is music to me
and my broken ears
Everything could change to bring about your own salvation
Gets me way down
Way down
I’m alive
‘cause I stayed inside
I hate everything
I wanted the world still and white, like December
I miss everything
I wanted the world still and white, like December
Tonight, I remember everything at once
Tonight, I struggle
to breathe
It feels so empty, without a soul around to know of a story, l own
my only reflection
says I can rest
my final breath,
I'll never ever let it go...
