it comes on real slowly and builds to the only sound in my head like an old familiar friend who tempts with the places i shouldn't go and the pills i shouldn't swallow but caving in is what i do best start at the beginning and i want it so badly open up and let me have it i'll be desperate til i'm gone don't make me wait don't prove me wrong giving all my hope and anger to the things that i thought mattered don't let me find out after all i've been inside all along cried my eyes out like a baby in the arms of a stranger but it makes no difference when nobody's listening time has made me so fragile tap my shoulder and i'll shatter broken past is on the ground spread the ashes all around i would trade it all i would give it all

just tell me the truth that's what she said logic as sound as the voice in her head and if there's such a thing i ain't found it yet the best i can do is just hazard a guess honey it aint easy as just cause honey its me i cant trust ask me again if you must but trust me when i say you wont be getting much just tell me where youre at simple as that as if i was pointing it out on a map and if you have to ask dont you suppose things aint as black or as white as before just figure it out you can't spend your life hiding away in the shadow of doubt yea and if you have to know i'm not what i was i cant get it back and it cant be undone

who were we kidding when we thought we'd have an easy time? as gravity pulls as apart like planets changing tides there is no cure there is no answer there's no grand design only a feeling bent and twisted left unrecognized stay we can survive this pain together stay we'll die today to come back new and somewhere in between the emptiness and everything i will be waiting for you the tears are streaming down like comets traveling the sky out of nowhere falling from your world straight into mine and in this atmosphere it's hard to catch your breath at night there air is thin the blood is thick oh but we're alive tonight don't give up don't you leave me now we didn't build the walls this high to tear them down we are above the clouds we are beneath the ground the space between don't matter now

i guess we really don't do well apart we got so close it got so easy to feel far that's not so easy on my heart you really oughtta see me decompose it used to be that i was better on my own and now it's better i don't know i don't mean the things i say i mean i do but not that way its just that when you go away away away away i miss you where do you go when you skip town? i dig you up then i put you in the ground to keep from worryin around where do i go when i'm not here? unzip my face and i swear i'll make it clear and no i don't just disappear you make me selfish you turn me evil til all i wanna do is steal you from this bastard planet and float up into the atmosphere maybe we'll just evaporate i think then maybe then i just might be happy

love in pieces all around my door when she appeared one reason in a car with a couple more saying come and we'll drive down the carolina cost and at 90 miles an hour we will take it nice and slow she said we all need something to believe in so we crash into the kind of morning that plays tricks with you mind its the residue of the dream that you lived last night and how you found some understanding in a big brown pair of eyes that just look so damn familiar must have seen them once or twice she said we all need something to believe in somewhere to lay our heads down someplace to put the pieces she said we all want to find a better reason something more than what we're seeing something to believe in but when you're there when you're really there it hits you so hard straight to the heart when you're high when you're really high feels like it won't end til you come down again and i hear the carolina weather is nice this time of year maybe if you get this letter you can meet me there

eight years old didn't want to say goodbye laid me down told me everything's alright see you in the mirror's eyes each day more than the last you're not alone you wear the bravest smile the bravest smile held your hand there was nothing else that i could do i had no choice but i'm living the day for you see you in my nightmares every dream more than the last you're not alone you wear the bravest smile the bravest smile you walked the longest mile with the bravest smile you're not alone not alone not alone not alone

Good Things 03:04
my head is filled with everything and nothing all at once empty as it is full can't tell if i'm finished or i'm done send your heart into traffic make a wish and tell a lie make it big and black and ugly make it tiny make it white and you could be the death of me and i wouldn't have anything to say about it yea you might be the enemy and i wouldn't have any other way around it cept sometimes good things get knocked down i lose myself from time to time got to loosen the belt is it around my neck or my waist god knows i can never tell not a moment of peace to be found hazardous all night hangin around cause i feel like i should don't know if i'm just stubborn or i'm right i reach out when i see it i hold on when i feel it i let go when i'm cheated don't let me let go

god you know i hate this stuff inside out and all mixed up can't believe in anything it takes a lot of time to heal takes a lot of falls to feel i'm gettin tired of gettin up but i'm not through with you yet don't matter what i said i'm not through with you yet got pretty good at tellin lies picking fights and twisting knives seemed like one way to survive and i'm no stranger to the ground but i'm no good at staying down i don't know how to let it die

Erased 04:00
on an ordinary night in an ordinary dream she is calling out your name you move your mouth but you can't speak you are staring at your hands they are dancing slow and strange tracing memories in the sky in a technicolor haze don't forget me don't forget my face in an unfamiliar place you are suddenly afraid lost and wandering on a path toward some loved ones far away don't forget me don't forget my face cause in the end we we'll all be erased tell me your name so i can know you that way show me your face i don't believe in these games draggin these chains can drive a man insane
