Here

The forks been cut in this, long thought open road,

Time’s made us a habit and it’s getting out of control.

I can’t smile and you can’t smile, and I know we never sleep,

Our love’s been on the run, it’s no wonder we can’t speak.

There’s something going on here,

That I don’t understand,

Why I want you to disappear,

At the same time I hold your hand.

 

And here, there’s no more safety,

Everyone is on the run,

Here there’s no protection,

Lover’s stab before your eyes,

The lovers they adore so fakely,

You are no exception.

I find myself alone.

 

There will be no power struggle, you’ve clearly already won.

But patience means victory, and I’ve all the time in the world,

Everyday there’s one more storm, one more tear to count,

We can’t ever say goodbye, but we are not holding hands, it seems that they are cuffed.

There’s something going on here,

That I don’t understand,

Why I want you to disappear,

At the same time I want amends.

 

And here, there’s no more safety,

Everyone is on the run,

Here there’s no protection,

Lover’s stab before your eyes,

The lovers they adore so fakely,

You are no exception.

 

We can’t smile, we can’t speak,

I can’t take this, I can’t sleep,

I can’t close my ears to what you don’t say,

Let me go, let me mourn this broken thing.

In this place, of forgotteness,

There is an emptyness,

See it make this hole in my chest,

You’ve seen it make this hole in my chest.

There’s something going on here,

That I don’t understand,

Why I want you to disappear,

At the same time I hold your hand.

 

And here, there’s no more safety,

Everyone is on the run,

Here there’s no protection,

Lover’s stab before your eyes,

The lovers they adore so fakely,

You are no exception;

I find myself alone; this army of one.

Hearts Awake

Your gentle alarms, are often too subtle,

For this still faced clock of an empty soul,

You don’t how I got to be so cold,

But this sleep’s been longer than even you’ve been told.

My bed is warm and still, but it saves me no longer,

From a fate of love that I just can’t ignore.

 

Wake my heart,

Wake my heart,

And I’ll forever dream of you,

With my eyes open in the sunshine,

Wake my heart,

Wake my heart,

And I’ll forever be…

 

You stir me not, with your movements close,

Each step no louder than my own still lungs,

These ears want to here what your lips will promise,

These eyes want to see, the products of those promises.

My bed is warm and still, but it saves me no longer,

From the fate your love that I just won’t ignore.

 

Wake my heart,

Wake my heart,

And I’ll forever dream of you,

With my eyes open in the sunshine,

Wake my heart,

Wake my heart,

And I’ll forever be…

 

My eyes open, and I can see you,

Staring at me, black and blue,

My skin all bruised from turning in my sleep.

It’s been the longest nightmare,

The longest nightmare,

Waiting for you here to wake me,

Waiting for you here to wake me.

You whispered in my ear,

Something just for me to hear.

You said

Our hearts awake,

Our hearts awake,

To fulfill these dreams of forever you and me,

Our hearts awake,

Our hearts awake,

Now they won’t forget to dream that sleepless dream.

Gluttons Here We Go

Should I save,

The champagne glasses,

As last to break,

When tomorrow comes,

Will we celebrate?

While tonight we breathe

This dismal fate.

 

Should I wait,

For the coming on,

Of a new day,

When tomorrow comes,

Will we celebrate?

The champagne glasses,

Are last to break.

 

Here we go again,

Waiting for the knife,

Here we go again,

Here we go again,

Gluttons for misery,

Here we go again.

 

Should I leave,

Tonight’s mistakes on,

Don’t press repeat,

It’s a motive short.

Should we keep,

All of these in a box,

One day we’ll weep,

When we see the circles,

Safe for our retreat.

 

Here we go again,

Waiting for the knife,

Here we go again,

Here we go again,

Gluttons for misery,

Here we go again.

 

Here we go again,

Waiting for the knife,

Here we go again,

Here we go again,

Gluttons for misery,

Here we go again.

 

The champagne glasses,

Are last to break.

The champagne glasses,

Are last to break.

Iron And Silk

Each day, I’m more dead than the one before,

I wake up look to the broken sun,

To decide what you’re wanting from me,

On this beautiful day, In this beautiful life.

You ask me please

Take down the walls I built myself,

I can’t, they’re made of iron and silk,

You see, I say

 

And the rain keeps pouring,

We’ll keep hiding,

No they’ll never find us here.

And the pain keeps coming,

Oh but it’s coming clear,

It won’t find us here.

 

And we danced, this kind of wrong way dance,

Down your one way street.

Happiness is hard to come by,

Harder to maintain.

 

And the rain keeps pouring,

We’ll keep hiding,

No they’ll never find us here.

And the pain keeps coming,

Oh but it’s coming clear,

It won’t find us here.

 

Each breath, of oxygen,

Is just one more precious gift.

Each breath, Each breath,

Let me taste your breath my dear

 

And the rain keeps pouring,

We’ll keep hiding,

No they’ll never find us here.

And the pain keeps coming,

Oh but it’s coming clear,

It won’t find us here.

Product Of Your Love

Draw the pictures in your head,

Make believe that you don’t see,

The possibility of me waking up dead.

You’re clueless and you’re young,

But this is only just begun,

The test you haven’t studied for,

So you count the tiles on the floor.

 

You can hear the desperation,

You can hear the fear,

It trembles like the fragile earth,

When the rain hits too hard.

You can hear, you can hear,

How much you wanted to love,

How much you wanted to see the product of that love.

 

Write the lines out to the chords,

The baby girl you haven’t seen,

Hold her closer than before,

Shut your eyes and hear her breathe.

 

You can hear the desperation,

You can hear the fear,

It trembles like the fragile earth,

When the rain hits too hard.

You can hear, you can hear,

How much you wanted to love,

How much you wanted to see the product of that love.

 

Count the wires, count the wires.

Count the wires, count the wires.

 

You can hear the desperation,

You can hear the fear,

It trembles like the fragile earth,

When the rain hits too hard.

You can hear, you can hear,

How much you wanted to love,

How much you wanted to see the product of that love.

Crawl

Let your eyes crawl over me,

Would you fall all over me?

Let me be something to you.

Let your eyes crawl over me,

Would you fall over me?

Let me mean something to you.

 

This isn’t an excuse,

For, the way that you hold your head,

In your hands, in your lap,

Like it’s too weighed to look up.

Read the signs, read the map,

It’s all over my face,

I wanna see you in the darkest ways.

 

Let your eyes crawl over me,

Would you fall all over me?

Let me be something to you.

Let your eyes crawl over me,

Would you fall over me?

Let me mean something to you.

 

There is no cure,

For, the open endedness,

Of your innermost questions.

Cause theyre too thought out to lie to.

Help me here, Hold me close,

See it in my face,

I wanna see in your darkest places.

 

Let your eyes crawl over me,

Would you fall all over me?

Let me be something to you.

Let your eyes crawl over me,

Would you fall over me?

Let me mean something to you.
