Cut my hands with blades
Can you feel the pain?
As it burns inside and
Everyday you're reminded of the time
You screamed and all this hate
Was piling around you
Piling around you as it grew
And we were blind
Disaster Signs
Glowing in the light of
What was left and every time you tried
Could the sun get any brighter?
Will it always be the same (I hope it will)
And your lips and the photographs remind us of this hate
Another sign to stay away
And now we're losing
Our last resort
Preceded by the
Only thing that ever made you tick
And now we're falling
After billboards and the
Posters of
The awful conformity
Of this world
And now we're killing and
We're dying and
It's all so messed up
How the highways have no street signs
But would you ever eat a cow that was loved?

I
Have found no reason for this lie
I think about it every night
How do we know whats wrong or right?
How do we know it's wrong to fight?
The awkward silence in this room
I hope somebody will talk soon
The paranoia in my head
Waiting for something to be said
Nothing will ever be the same
I can't find anyone to blame
I
I hate the neighbours down the street
Their stupid daughter likes to cheat
At everything she ever does
She says she does it just because
The booming noices in my head
The leaky motor in the shed
The latest music on T.V.
What does this have to do with me?
But it
Feels like the world around me
Is spinning way too fast
I hope that it will slow on down
And let me move on past
I
I never felt like I was free
Somebody's always stopping me
And putting bullshit in my head
Why
Do they always have to pry
Into my life it makes my cry
So tell me what's the point of life?
But it
Feels like the world around me
Is spinning way too fast
I hope that it will slow on down
And let me move on past
I hate when things get in my way
Cause all it seems to do
Is make me feel like I'm stuck
In a pair of metal shoes
Somebody help me I hope i'm not crazy
But I don't know what to do
Everything's changing my whole life's rearranging
And all I can think of is you
Is you IS YOU!

Misconception

Tie my hands behind my back
I won't lift a finger
Point out all the things I lack
I don't need to linger
Is it easy? I don't know
Is it easy? Start the show
Is it easy? I don't care
Is it easy?
I don't need this
I don't need this
It's all so useless
I don't need this
I DON'T NEED THIS!
All my problems gone to shame
Falling over themselves
Thoughts are burning lie awake
Sympathy just won't help
Timeless process fall apart
Kill me softly in the dark
Thoughts are burning, I can't tell
How'd this happen?
Tie my hands behind my back
I won't lift a finger
Point out all the things I lack
I don't need to linger
Am I hurting or am I dead?
AM I BURNING IN MY HEAD!
Am I screaming are you deceived?
Am I loved...

Something Epic

If I could be I would have to be the one the one that never was
Always flying never dying because I would be the one
Pain and noises in my head it hurts I need to speed up
Moving faster, Sarah Caster until all the noises stop
So here we go again
Never knowing when
Should we follow plan
Or just give up again
Never knowing why
Should we even try
I'm still holding on
But I won't be waiting long
On the top we're on the top we'll keep it all aflow
Falling from the centre stage they all cried so long ago
I wish that I could just be free and fly right out through the gate
This is the moment I've been waiting for and I hope I'm not too late
It's going to snow tonight
I hope you'll be alright
I want it all for you but
We're hiding in the shadows
All the things I see
Your life's a mystery
It's like my favourite songs
All drowning in our sorrow
Drowning in our sorrow in a cave

We won't fight
We won't fight
Words blow up like dynamite
We won't fight
We won't fight
Cause words blow up like
DYNAMITE
I'm sorry
This lie went on so far
These stupid fights start every night
And no one could save us
And I'm sorry
I want this to be right
I'll take the car and drive so far
We need to sort this out
But please don't worry
I'll be home when you call
I'm waiting for an answer
But there's never one at all
But please don't worry
I'll be home when you call
Hope we don't hit another wall
And I'm sorry
I know this was my fault
I swear I tried I never lied
But I just wasn't there to catch you
And I'm sorry
I can't take it anymore
Those things weren't true I still love you
Only time could fix this
We won't fight
We won't fight
Words blow up like dynamite
We won't fight
We won't fight
Cause words blow up like dynamite
Those words blow up like dynamite
Tonight.

So
If you want
You can try to work it out
But you'll never be like
No you'll never be like me
And if you want
You can try to fight the clique
But you'll never be like
No you'll never be like me
And if you are losin'
You know I’m accusin'
You know I’m accusin'
So take me down
And if you are dreamin'
You know that I'm screamin'
You know that I'm screamin'
Your name out...
LOUD!
And
If you want
You can buy yourself a drink
But you'll never drink like
No you'll never drink like me
And if you want
You can try to count to three
But you won't impress me
No you'll never impress me
I wouldn't have let go but I no longer care
I tried to fight it I did I swear
All those things that you said were they real?
And i want you to know this is how we're gonna deal
We could've made it but the click wasn't there
You should've backed down this is something we don't share
All those things that you did were they real?
And I want you to know how bad it's gonna feel
(No you'll never be like me)
So
If you want
You can hide yourself forever
But you'll never be like
No you'll never be like me
And if you want
You can keep on getting better
But you'll never be like
No you'll never be like me

If You Knew
02:53

Why can't we just talk about it?
Sometimes your such a bitch
Your problems don't mean shit to me
Stop pretending that you’re God
I want to make things right
But all you do is complain
And all I want to do is fix this
But fuck this
Cause you'll always be the same
And we'll always be the same
Do you ever see the light?
If you knew..
If you knew…
If you knew, if you knew
If you knew you'd love me too
I love you, I love you
If you knew, you\d love me too
But you'll always be the same
And we'll always be the same
Why can't anything work out?
Now I'm broken, left without
I don't want it to be the same
Cause it's always the fucking same.
Someday everything would work out
If you knew..
If you knew...

Life In A Box
03:48

Sometimes when I'm alone
I try to remember how I ever got this far
Was it a miracle
Or was it a dream?
Either way it makes me feel...
And I try to imagine what it would be like
If I was still with you
I try to remember those old days
Like it's the end of my life
Like I could die tomorrow
Sometimes when I'm with you
We try to have fun
We always have fun
I remember how it felt
And I want those feelings back
I know they can't be lost forever
Because I try to imagine what it would be like
If I was still with you
I try to remember those old days
Like it's the end of my life
Like I could die tomorrow
Sometimes I wish that you would feel like I do
Sometimes I think that I could never truly love you
Sometimes I want to take you there
Sometimes I hate myself
Way too much to bear
But it's life
It's my life
It's your life
It's our life
If we try we can stop these thoughts
And return this to our
Life in a box...

Whatever You Like

Stacks on deck, Patrón on ice
And we can pop bottles all night
Baby, you can have whatever you like
I said, you can have whatever you like
Yeah, late night sex so wet, so tight
I'll gas up the jet for you tonight
Baby, you can go where ever you like
I said you can go where ever you like, yeah
Anytime you want to pick up the telephone
You know it ain't nothing to drop a couple stacks on you
Want it? You could get it my dear
Five million dollar home, drop Bentley's, I swear
Yeah, I want your body, I need your body
As long as you got me you won't need nobody
You want it I got it, go, get it, I'll buy it
Tell 'em other broke jokers be quiet
Shawty, you’re the hottest! Love the way you drop it
Brain so good
I swore you went to college
Hundred grand deposit, vacations hit the tropics
'Cause errbody know you ain't trickin' if you got it
And you never ever gotta go to your wallet
As long as I got rubber band banks in my pocket
Five six, rides with rims and a pocket kit
You ain't gotta downgrade, you can get what I get
My chick can have what she want
And go to every store for any bag she want
And no, she ain't never had a man like that
To buy you anything your heart desire like that
We're talking big boy rides, big boy ice
Let me put this big boy in your life
Then get so wet, and hit it so right
Let me put this big boy in your life

It's Almost Over
03:11
|

|
Underrated and it's so clear
I know that I'm the victim
So determined, I crush my fear
We don't stand a chance against them
When you wake up scared at night
Think of me in times of fright
When you're alone you see this
And it makes you feel like someone else
Your scared of yourself
Like blazing metal it struck my brain
I will not be the victim
These lies surround us like acid rain
We have a chance to strike back
Pull the trigger and walk away
We'll be there in the distance
No time to run, this ends today
You can't fail. It's almost over.
The battle is almost won
Told you it wouldn't be any fun
Let's take this one for the team
You say “You’re Sorry” doesn’t mean a thing

We Do Not Exist
05:50
|

|
So here's the last note I wrote for you
Read it over through and through
There is no time to close our eyes
There is no time to say goodbye
I wrote you something that you didn't want to know
And now I'm calling just to let my feelings show
I know it hurts you but I'll try so hard with this
We do not exist, we do not exist
Why are you always hiding
From the telephone
You should be able to escape
So don't feel so alone
And if you find it necessary remind me
We do not exist, we do not exist
So here's the last note I wrote for you
Read it over through and through
There is no time to close our eyes
There is no time to say goodbye
Thought it was over done and gone
Didn't think it would last this long
There is no time to close our eyes
There is no time to say goodbye
We close our eyes
We close our eyes
We close our eyes again
