- Coffins Like Ours
Death is on our lips. We've enraged the gods,
now we move unprotected, all our angels were accidents,
still we run on ambition and wish for impossible things,
Our sentimental side will be the death of us
Drive another nail until we build a home.
Remember our pact, we both stop breathing.
Drive another nail until it feels like home.
- Days Of Punched In
You said you were tired
Tired of this life
With days of punched in and nights not over until dawn,
You were ready to burn all the bridges
You were ready to start again.
This is our call,
Our call to do better.
And we are sick,
- Death Becomes Us
Pack up our hearts it is finally time to end all of this.If you've got nothing left to say then get the fuck out.Throw your guitar down turn the mic off and just walk away,just walk away.
Get the fuck out. It ceased to mean anything when you second guessed everything, when you simply stopped believing.
We have heard this all before, there is no hope for us, we've lost every competition you've placed us in, there are no spokesman our generation is already dead...
and we dance to all the songs we've played, and we cop to all of our mistakes.
- Declaring War On Nostalgia
We live our lives like the guitar break in "Bang yer head", beautiful and melodic and ready to explode. And goddamn, we looked good, our hair messed just right and our hearts were invincible while we sang songs about love and regret, distance and loss, heartache and failure. And I still hear angels, but you are long gone. Now they sing a funeral song telling of all I did wrong. And I just want to go back to when we didn't have to drink ourselves to sleep, back to when our dreams didn't weigh us down, back to when each day didn't feel like something we just survived.
- Desparate Vespers
When you come home from the hospital,
Let me be the first to welcome you.
Arms outstretched, holding my sincerest apology,
I've been waiting to tell you
All the things I was too scared to say before,
How your smile wears me out, how I'm better off having known you.
- Downer
Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend every country
Wish away the pain
Hand out lobotomies
To save little families
Surrealistic fantasy
Bland, boring pain!
- Eternity Is Lost On The Dying
hands up this is where we unite, lets give in to lust we will set this whole night on fire. we were meant for this. we were built for this. bone white hips and paper thin you are a dream for an outcast, we are the undead and this is our time...we are desperate kids doing extraordinary things and we are just like you. we never expected this standing on the sidewalk broken glass all around, I tried to make my breathing stop my pulse slow down and my skin grow cold so when they found their worst fear they could finally move on. and I ask you, who stole our hearts. who left us so hollow
- Forty four sunsets
staring across from you in all night diners transf xed and depleted lets drive to nowhere, embracing the cold april
nights talking about how our dreams keep us up at night. beautiful and nocturnal wrap it up in amethyst blue you are
my love and this is just one moment to call ours. one look in your eyes means more to me than forty four sunsets ou
lying next to me familiar and unsure if you feel the same heartache to heartache and the smell of fresh sheets
- Fourty Four Sunsets
staring across from you in all night diners transfixed and depleted lets drive to nowhere, embracing the cold april nights talking about how our dreams keep us up at night. beautiful and nocturnal wrap it up in amethyst blue you are my love and this is just one moment to call ours. one look in your eyes means more to me than forty four sunsets you lying next to me familiar and unsure if you feel the same heartache to heartache and the smell of fresh sheets nights like this are never supposed to end
- He Died Among Dreams
she said i hate to hear you talk about yourself like that, (it's all so delicate. it's always so delicate.) but i can't be the one to save you, i can't be the one to save you from yourself, and are you even aware of how you see yourself always looking for a new way to show how scared you are, a new name for this sickness.
so dry those tears all you want, but we knew it would end like this, but don't think i didn't notice you gave everything you had even though you knew it would never be enough, it would never be enough.
that's when she held me and said you've got the cutest cheekbones built up strong from catching a lifetime of tears. it won't be the same without you. the thought of you giving up - broken and lonely - tears me up inside.
so let's take the glamour out of depression because the pill bottles while your heart is getting harder to lift and you can't stay sad all the time, can you?
can you?
it won't be the same without you.
- Imperfect But Ours
I know that times are getting hard.All our friends can't find jobs, and heat costs more than we can afford, but I'm not giving up.The clouds may not part for us like they used to, but I am still not giving up on us.We've got mixtapes and we've got heartache, we've got memories we haven't made yet.We've got nights under covers, under stars, and we've got days we never wanted to end.
And I promise we will miss all this someday, and I promise we will miss these days.
And I still remember what I felt like waking next to you, and I still remember the feeling of your breath on my hair.I still remember what it felt like to have you here, and I still remember everything about our lives.
And I will always be there to hold you up, and I will always forgive you when we fight, and after all this time I have learned that all these wishes lead to is bad decisions and failure, but you are the one thing I got right.
- In Love With The Sound
I've lead with the wrong foot again
Crossing lines that no one asked you to defend.
You stare me down chanting conform or leave.
Conform or leave.
We've got our Old Pride and We've got our Honest Sleep,
We've got nights when the room came alive and reaffirmed our faith
That this can change lives.
- Kiss Like A Miracle
steal this! steal this!!! seal it with a kiss, lets set it light. set it one more time. this will be our greatest work, we'll never give a thought about the future and we will kiss like a miracle, and i wont tell anyone about the one two so lets share this breath. come on! come on!!! ive seen that look before, lock it up, no more heavy heads, this is the new now. black hair! black hair!!! lets get off im tired of leaveing, and if we die tonight we can call it art. my amitryptiline dreams and anemic after thoughts will be big enough for two., we'll complete thie night sky and you wont have to feel my heart beat to know im still alive. dont let it! dont let it end!!! lets misspell the test we will have our own language; my breath. your arms. just hold on this angelic. and you just are... and you just arexooxoxoxox
- Redefining loneliness
We were pulled and on edge, drunk on summer promises.
We felt terminally used by lovers and friends.
We tattoo hearts, get lost in song, dance in bedrooms and reclaim our lives.
This is the line in the sand, this is what is important to us
so up the decay, up the heartache, up the isolation, up the loneliness, up the mistrust, and we will up the loss.
We will live like we are outlaws, confident failures knowing it will never be this good again, and we will love like it is revenge.
By the time that they are through with us we will be magnificent, dinging to such slender hopes that were so slefishly worn, we are ready to get big so consider our debts paid.
- Sin And Sin Again
Remember when we first met under the fluorescent lights of the pharmacy. you spent your time searching for a way to make all of your fears come true. now you show me your body..all black and blue asking me for forgiveness but this is one that you will have to do on your own. nine times out of ten i was there for you. now i am left watching you fighting desperately for something that is already yours
- So Lightly Thrown
lets give up, retreat, there is no point in fixing this. lets give up,
retreat, there is no hope in fixing this. we should really not be
doing this. shaking hands and ripped fabric lets make this as dirt as
we can get. i know you heard i'm not okay, that things just slip away
from me. and i have heard you are still drop dead gorgeous. your smile
is fatal. your eyes are a heart attack. we'll kiss until it shows.
we will kiss until it shows, just tell me that we will make it through.
this is what happens when two disposable souls fall in love. can't you
- Spring
Caught in time so far away from where our hearts really wanted to be - Reaching out to find a way to get back to where we'd been - And if summer left you dry with nothing left to try - This Time...... Caught at a distance from myself and there was no one there to know - What could I do? - I have learned sometimes a need can run too deep and we throw away the things we most wanted to keep and inside we lie over and over again - This Time...... If you don't now you'd better learn to believe me when I say I'm going to build a wall around this town Around these hearts and hands.
- stars in january
and how did we get this far approaching the point that our heroes turned back upon just remember that we wanted this remember that we always wanted this watching everything around us burn down we will start again it is in the stars we will start again the softness of your breath and the smile on your lops i've never felt this vulnerable testing the limits of missing and why cant this be beautiful.

and how many wishes untill the stars fall
- Temptation That Is You
the snow creaks under your feet on the fragile wood of our back stairs I'm sitting alone wrapped in crawl spaces and broken melodies heard through thin walls.
please forgive me. i just want you to stick around long enough to realize that I'm worth all of the trouble that I cause because im sure that i will fuck this all up somehow so dont let me getaway i think of all those nights alseep in our bed swearing we will always be this close.
flesh to flesh heart to heart i will never let this go
i swear that i would love you forever
- The Comfort Of Small Defeats
And I watch from a distance you move unlike anything I have ever seen,
I’d like to fall asleep calmly next to you safe in your care to guide me home.
But most nights I am filled with superstition and fear
Kiss your hair and knock on wood.
And it never
Feels like enough,
No matter how far we go
- The Fashion Magazines Have Succeeded
They've all got knives drawn!! they've all got knives drawn!! one by one another one down. With fingertips gleaming in artificial light, just a few more keystrokes,just a few more. Anonymity has never suited someone so well, and every one's a critic with a message board to report it to talking experatly about things they were never there for. These things do hurt, keep on choking untill the words stop, i will be your signature. These things do hurt, hope you are proud of your self
- The Seduction of Alabaster
All this time spent wanting nothing more has found us with the lights out wondering if you can see colors in the dark. just wait for me with the tv on, anything to feel less alone. just a couple more nights, just a couple more pills, the art of mistakes has never been so seductively dark. dye your hair black. anything to feel like someone new because right now your skirt is starting to reveal just a little too much...
je t'aime mon ami mais je regrette
- The Shadows I Call Home
Take something, talk to someone, or your cries for help mean nothing.We write it on our wrists, mark our skin, the things we don't wanna forget.
And you were wrong when you said it was all just broken hearts.And you were wrong when you said it would never catch up.And you said no matter where I go from here, no matter whose arms I am sleeping in, I'll never be okay
Don't you think I'd change if I could? Every day is a new sinking feeling.I want to be able to say it simply just hurts and the walls close in and I can't feel a thing.
and we build walls to feel less alone.
- The Sixth Golden Ticket
We mouthed the words
To all of the saddest songs
Because they felt...
They felt like home
And i watched you out of the corner...
The corner of my eye
And that smile
- The Stars In January
and how did we get this far approaching the point
that our heroes turned back upon just remember that we wanted this remember that we always wanted this watching everything around us burn down we will start again it is in the stars we will start again the softness of your breath and the smile on your lops ive never felt this vulnerable testing the limits of missing and why cant this be beautiful.

- The Temptation That Is You
the snow creaks under your feet ont he fragile wood of our back stairs im sitting alone wrapped in crawl spaces and broken melodies heard through thin walls. please forgive me. i just want you to stick around long enough to realize that im worth all of the trouble i cause because im sure that i will fuck this all up somehow so dont let me getaway
i think of all those nights alseep in our bed swearing we will always be this close. flesh to flesh heart to heart i will never let this go
i swear that i would love you forever
so when it all passes will you still run your fingers through my hair and trace my lips with your hands we will still watch our shadows dance on poloroids and loose leaf paper and i dont want you to be scared anymore because even though i hear angels calling my name it is you they are sending me to, they are sending me to you.
- This Heals Nothing
I am no longer fine. The discomfort has spread to my blood. My lungs are working overtime and I feel dead and buried. I am walking around a ghost haunting my former self, so while we do our best not to stare, would you tell me what we are celebrating. We idolize death until we are faced with it and we struggle to realize that if we just let our guard down we would realize that life is worth living. I want an army to fight for me. I want to admit that it is ok to be strong. All of my enemies will feel my rage, all of my enemies will see what's in store. I will level cities. I will torch the whole damn room. I am taking this all to heart. And after all of this if I'm still not satisfied, if I still feel I could do more, I am taking this whole thing down because after all the songs, and after all the years deep down I know that this heals nothing, this heals nothing.
- We Wanted The Sky
i will paint this town a whole host of new colors and when your hand slipped into mine i knew that i was home it's oh so worth one more night you are the kind of dream that turns heads making out in dc alleys you told me all of your secrets without saying a word we wanted the sky but got rain insted but i'm still smiling
- Weightless Is The New Black
i thought just this one i thought this one time i wouldnt need to tell you what is wrong and we could sleep the whole night through and that's when you looked at me, looked into my eyes and whispered "can i touch you" looking at my hands so delicately did you think i was doing better because my clothes were tighter and my sleeves dont cover my hands. it is in the language every time that you fail it's a little harder to get up again flipping through record bins it is all a little too obscure i was just looking for something a little more familiar. i though you left those feelings behind the doctors said there was nothing left to lose and as the curtains rattled in the background all i wanted was for you to know that you're beautiful to me. you are beautiful to me...
- When Everything Seemed To Matter
These are my last confessions, sealed with longing and regret. We hould our breath, things have to work out sometime. We were the hopeless romantics who truly believed in happy endings. We medicated our desperation, hearts like ours could take on anything. Can you hear me? I should have done better by you, I should have been there more. just know that it was you I was thinking of when it all came crashing in. Remember me as someone who was there for you, remember me for all of the good that was between us. And you are still the girl who loves the sound of clinking plates, stealing flowers from our neighbor's yard, warm sand, tree lined picnics, I should have done more, I should have learned your favorite songs, sang you to sleep and woke you with the promise that each day would be better than the last.
- Wishlist For The Drowning
you cant feel this weight all eyes on me now
every glance is another slit in my wrist
its all accidents and splendor four pills
that you have never seen skin that shade of blue before or felt breath that cold i guess
that it never touched you in quite the same way it all falls down one by one it all adds up i thought that you knew that living on the edge was all i ever do. it never touches soft enough and you would never let me give up no matter how much i wanted to and someday you will know that all of my sleepless nights and tear stained pillows were never meant for you to understand and even though it seems like im always falling apart im still standing on these broken legs just hold on. just hold on. im still living at all cost
- With You I Could Never Be Alone
Take something, talk to someone, or your cries for help
Mean nothing.
We write it on our wrists, mark our skin, the things we
Don't wanna forget.
And you were wrong when you said it was all just broken
Hearts.
And you were wrong when you said it would never catch up.
