- A Sin To Hold On To
When I saw you walking by, I could not believe my eyes.
Underneath the city lights, reflecting all your curves just right.
Can I have your attention for a moment? I just need to say something.
If you've got the time then I've got the reason for the sin.
If you've got the time then I've got the reason for the sin.
Have you been looking out? Have you been watching my back?
My patience is running out and I can't seem to stay on the right track.
- Addicted to Bad Decisions
I'm addicted to bad decisions.
I just can't ever help myself.
(but this is different)
It sounds so convincing...
She's good for you.
So good for us as well.
You'll be the taste lingering on my lips.
It'll be my hands clinging to your hips.
- Alone
Hung around here, just waiting to go home
The earth is dark and cold and I think I now know
You give yourself away, this ends alone
But I wonder, I wonder
Who gave you all your jewels, what made you sell your rights
(And you say that you have the right to turn your back on me)
When did you know you'd forget that once you tried to fight
- Always Depends
I wish I could put you into words
So it would all make sense
I'd write you a thousand times
Your faces in pages
Run your answers the best way you can
It's that you never thought that you'd be coming in last
(This is the wrong time, the wrong place)
- Anne Marie
You say that you don’t need me anymore
Well that’s just fine
You headed for the door
And you won’t hear me cryin’ anymore
My Anne Marie
Anne Marie
You’re leaving me
- As Your Voice Fades
somebody please tell me
what am i suppose to do?
you died and i'm here
thinking that i hear your voice,
but it's somebody else
it's always somebody else
why did you die?
- Bloodless
Bloodless
(take me)
far from all that's wrong and...
(let these)
fears collapse inside
(take me)
back to when i...
(believed)
- Butcher's Mouth
I've got a way
of finding out what you said,
but I want to hear it from the butcher's mouth.
I've got a way
of freaking out all your friends when I'm talking out loud.
But it ends me when I can tell that I've become the person I can't take, that I hate,
a person so much like you.
- Can't Stop The Killer
You'll raise the daughter and she'll raise the son.
You'll live like two people that wish they were one.
She may not be perfect,
but oh my friend neither are you.
You feel like you're waiting for somebody
to remind you of all the things
that you're supposed to do.
Careful what you reach for, one more step and you're falling through.
- Closed Eyes, Open Hands
Emery
"Open Hands, Closed Eyes"
We can make believe
We're happy and free
It's automatic when
The money is in our hands
People always try
- Crumbling
I fell in love with the world
(She gave me) everything that I deserve
(I had) all that I wanted and more, right in my hands
(Some things just never last)
She ran away with the sun
(I guess) the moon and the stars must have followed along
'Cause I'm here in the cold and the dark until she returns
(Lie because the truth really hurts)
- Cutthroat Collapse
Time runs out
Those words seemed so sincere
And I've been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown
- Dear Death Part. 1
Just hear me out. This was all my fault.
Now you've brought me death, and it's everything I wanted.
It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out.
It's the wrong inside that fills my mouth;
has left me without in this darkness.
I've given my ground.
But know this night will be mine...
- Disguising Mistakes With Goodbyes
Just take it back (I feel)
they're only words (your hair)
we hold the tethers (through my)
we're here together (fingers)
we paint the night (every)
only to find (silk stand)
it's cracked and peeling (takes my)
- don't bore us, get to the chorus
He's Never gonna go away
He's Never gonna go away
He's Never gonna go away
He's Never gonna go away
He's Never gonna go away
He's Never gonna go away
So we sit and we wait
- Fix Me
We've all got something to say,
when we open our mouths we have someone to blame.
We all have demons to face.
Situations evolve into something we can't explain.
It's like a thorn in my mind.
Digging deeper and deeper and killing the love that it finds.
My hearts a complex machine.
When it breaks it takes more
- Fractions
one and three, you are here
(one and three, you are here
to tell me we can't do this)
to tell me we can't do this
(three for three, i'll disagree)
anymore
- From Crib To Coffin
I used to be a better man
But the regret came, and here I am
I used to walk outside my door
But I don't go outside anymore
When will they carry me to my grave?
So I can pay for the things that my hands have made
Two sons will take my body
- Hard Times
I sat there while you plead your case
for confidence and secrets to be erased
I was riddled by your words
I bet that you could hardly wait to send the cavalry
for me, your subtly replaced
With spoils
(My father told me)
- In A Lose, Lose Situation
Don't be late
There's no time to be afraid
There's a way
To clean up the mess you've made
If I could tell the truth
or lie would I
attempt to at the same time
- In A Win Win Situation
I've noticed your design
‘cause I'm not blind.
I'm like a cigarette
burning, burning every night.
but there's no ash that falls
there's only telephone calls
in the afternoon,
stretching through a thousand walls.
- in a win, win situation
I've noticed your design
'Cause I'm not blind.
I'm like a cigarette
burning, burning every night.
but there's no ash that falls
there's only telephone calls
in the afternoon,
stretching through a thousand walls.
- In Shallow Seas We Sail
In Shallow Seas We Sail
I got eyes in the back of my head and I, see where you're going with this
I'm not surprised
You take me for a fool, maybe you're right
If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here tonight
You sold yourself, you'll never learn (You sold yourself...)
- Inside Our Skin
This is what comes of the best intentions we have
They get lost with the rest and soon forgotten
And the money we spend is to make amends
For the time that we’ve never
To make amends for the time that we’ve never given
We all feel real inside our skin
With selfish hearts that hide our sin
- Jesus Gave Us Christmas
Born in a manger, sent as a Savior to all of the world
The voices of angels singing his praises
Sing Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Shepherds and wise men came to adore him
With gold, incense and myrhh
How could this child bring the whole of God’s glory?
Sing Alleluia
Emmanuel, he will be God with us, and ever shall be
- Left With Alibis And Lying Eyes
Watching someone stop breathing, feel their arms and palms releasing
The color, the smell of their skin, all of this with your fingerprints
and there isn't a thing that we can do
Drive, drive, drive, drive, I don’t want to get caught
We'll say, we'll say we’re innocent
There is enough to prove we're not
They will believe anything
- Listening To Freddie Mercury
Every once in a while I think I’m lying
Take it to the bank; I'll believe every word I say
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
Then again this is when you start your prying
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
But there’s a thought it could be true
But this just isn’t how I imagined it would be
With these random people just asking the most personal things
- Miss Behavin'
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't!
Always what you meant, never what you said.
Passing over me like a book you've read.
But I let it fall, balling every wish.
- Negative Nines
You say all the things you say,
To ease your pain...
Inside, throw it all away,
And start again...
You hate all the things you hate
To make me stay...
Quiet, I've heard enough from you.
- Piggy Bank Lies
Find these answers
from the words that
you already, you already said
Never thought I
Would find out
But we're here now
Waiting for it,
Waiting for it.
- Playing with Fire
Pardon me for saying so, but you look more pitiful
Than I had ever imagined, despite perfect fashion
And your photographs depict you so differently.
I always thought you would be some sort of match for me.
So let's decide who can survive
Stomping feet and racing beats of hearts that don't ever slow.
- Returning the Smile You Have Had From The Start
You wanted to know if
If it was worth the pain that it has caused us.
Both our lives - subtract one life
To know why it was you deserved this
As simple as I can
I'll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen
- Scissors
In your brilliance, you became the only voice you trust
If it's true then I'm dead, right where I stand
Was the plan always this vicious
You thought that your faith would carry you home
But it left me there in the waiting room alone
As I planned what to say, to the ones I'd be leaving
All praise and honor seem so far away
- So Cold I Could See My Breath
Let
I
It
And we walk out so innocent
You can be so persuasive
When you say it
More than a day trip
- Stronger Than You
this is the end of
the world you know
thought you could save them, thought you be their hero
time to put on a show
it’s over now, we both know
those silly books won’t help you no more
they’re burnt to dust just like that family of yours
so here we go, try to take on my army
- Studying Politics
[Verse 1]
It’s like a pencil with erasers at both ends
I want it all but we’re dealing in percents
And these activities that you have engaged in
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
We began with concluding remarks
Pick up the pieces and examine the parts
Your words always cut when they're cliché
- Ten Talents
Last night I had a dream
That you decided to leave me
And no matter what I said
My persuasion fell upon your deaf ears
Don't leave me here alone, I'm not so good on my own
I'm not so good, I'm not so good on my own
- The Anchors
And it hurt just to touch
On the words I said too much
I was just a kid
I thought that I could not be caught and much less by a moment
But the words came flooding from my mouth
Some things will never surface
They capsized so long ago
- The Cheval Glass
Turn the cheval glass and find
Corruption under my skin
And mine
You're so far from safety
Put your fingers to your eyes
And steal yourself away
Repetition
- The Curse of Perfect Days
Tell me that im a fool
That Ive exaggerated the situation
Cause' I've never been scared like this
Of losing more than i have to give
Its so unfair
I Believed I Could Handle This
I Swore I Could Fix Everything
- The Party Song
Well I know you like the party, but the party never stops
I know you like the party, but the party never stops
well I know you
I know you
I know you
I know you want to be here so you just let go
and no one?s ever gonna tell you no
- The Ponytail Parades
Three sleepless nights
This isn't how it's supposed to be
But you're so good at taking your time
To give back to me
I will wait for you forever
If you would just ask me
I thought that I could change you
- The Poor and the Prevalent
I've got to put a stop to all this
(I've seen this, I tasted)
To all this being separated and then cut off
(I've seen this)
I've got to put a stop to all this
(Separated then fall)
I've got to put a stop to all this
- The Secret
on the way to grey
i could hardly wait
to see you again
to feel your hands
covering me
til the storm is done
what seemed to be the end
- The Smile, The Face
I was never going to fall
(I was never going to fall)
But the smile, the face has sealed my fate
(The smile, the face)
She's weird, an addict of it all
Lets wait for another taste!
(I have nothing left to give)
- The Terrible Secret
pave these streets with open arms
it's always you we're waiting on
the skin, the taste, the drug, the need
i'm asking, telling you, don't leave
erase the lines that we have drawn
it's always you we're waiting on
and waiting on and waiting on
and on and on and on and on
- The Weakest
Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Sometimes I get so tired
of their lies (it never stops)
It's worth more than my life
Say the word and I will die
- To Whom It May Concern
Falling away from you [x2]
Always seems so tragic in my mind.
I hear that you're doing well now.
Things I wish I could have heard from you.
And it's been so long since the first time we tried,
Oh but anyway.
And all my friends say hello.
- Under Serious Attack
You've taken this too far
Now it has to stop
You've taken this too far
Once again
The table's turned
And I'm behind
Picking up the pieces from the night
- Walls
Are you listening?
we write a thousand pages, they're torn and on the floor
headlights hammer the windows, we're locked behind these doors
and we are never leaving, this place is part of us
and all these scenes repeating are cold to the touch
my hands seem to deceive me
when I'm nervous, when I'm healthy.
- What Makes A Man A Man
Take a look and see for yourself
What makes a man a man
And I will step back to the life I left
Maybe you won't forget who I am
Wake up in the middle of the night
Just don't believe everything's all right
When these thoughts are running around your head
- world away
You want to see me disappear
Well, it starts here
Trying my best
Not to say what you don't want to hear
But it's all right -
You can cover your, cover your ears.
Face my fears
