Nobody’s There

Tell me I’m a monster

Cause I can look where you see dark

I see light

But I wonder

If I could still be right

Even though you swear, you’re the one that cares

I feel like I am all alone, in feeling so alone

 

It’s a terrible feeling

Surrounded by people

And screaming in silence

Cause nobody’s really there

It’s a terrible feeling

Surrounded by people

You’re giving the finger

But nobody stares

Cause' nobody’s really there.

 

I can see I’m broken

By the cracks in my face

I see the pain

In that broken mirror

Looking at me

And I wonder how I got so good

At faking a smile

 

Even though you swear, you’re the one that cares

I feel like I am all alone, in feeling so alone

It’s a terrible feeling

Surrounded by people

And screaming in silence

Cause nobody’s really there

It’s a terrible feeling

Surrounded by people

You’re giving the finger

But nobody stares

Cause' nobody’s really there.

 

And no amount of sorry’s gonna make this pass

Cause this dark cloud coming over me

Is turning me to ash

Everything is gray, everything is lies

But still I can’t focus in

On everything you’re really seeing

And no amount of sorry’s gonna clean this mess

Can’t you see my eyes getting darker

Every moment you don’t think to ask

I want you to take care of me

When I need it the most

Cause I’ve always cared about you

It hasn’t killed me to show it

 

It’s a terrible feeling

Surrounded by people

And screaming in silence

Cause nobody’s really there

It’s a terrible feeling

Surrounded by people

You’re giving the finger

But nobody stares

Cause' there’s nobody there.

Yeah, there’s nobody, nobody, nobody, there.

I Bite

Force yourself under my skin

Tell me how it is

How it’s gonna be

Make your way into my core

Tell me what I need

What I shouldn’t be

How could I not think to ask you first?

 

What do you have to do

To do, with me?

What makes you think you have the right,

To tell me how to sleep, how to fight

You’ve the steel set, but I’m still gonna take a bite.

 

Make up my mind

Without you how I find

The strength to carry on

Well really what would I do

Without you to make it harder for me

Give me something to protest

Give me something to hate

 

What do you have to do

To do, with me?

What makes you think you have the right,

To tell me how to sleep, how to fight

You’ve the steel set, but I’m still gonna take a bite.

The Basement Life

Stare at the ceiling, made a new friend

With myself

Read the paper, criticize the nature

I really know nothing about

 

Is it possible to die

From never coming alive

This dormant path

The basement life

Is it possible to die

Without ever coming alive

This vacant path

The basement life

The basement life

 

No one to catch me, when I keep falling

Down the stairs

It doesn’t make me nervous, knowing I know no one

Who’s ever given a damn

 

Is it possible to die

From never coming alive

This dormant path

The basement life

Is it possible to die

Without ever coming alive

This vacant path

The basement life

The basement life

 

Undergound

It’s possible, it’s possible

Underground

It’s possible, it’s possible

That I, will never see the sun

In your eyes, That I

Will never find the one

That’ll make me compromise

But that’s okay

Cause down here I’m the only to please

I’m the only who can make me cry

Underground

It’s possible, it’s possible

 

Is it possible to die

From never coming alive

This dormant path

The basement life

Is it possible to die

Without ever coming alive

This vacant path

The basement life

The basement life

What Makes You Make Me

You’ve got nothing special

About you

That’s plain to see

But still I’m drawn to you

Like a twisted gravity

Cause I’ve gotten nervous

Everytime

You’re not worth this

State of mind

 

What makes you

What makes you

Make me insecure

What make you

What makes you

Make me want you more

What makes you hard to look away from

Is what makes it hard to look at all

 

I’ve got nothing special about me

That’s plain to see

But still I haveta ask

If we could ever be

Cause I get nervous

Everytime

But I still try to catch your eye

 

What makes you

What makes you

Make me insecure

What make you

What makes you

Make me want you more

What makes you hard to look away from

Is what makes it hard to look at all

 

You’ve got the smallest smile

When you make me die inside

It’s like you’re trying to tell me

That you knew it the whole time

 

What makes you

What makes you

Make me insecure

What make you

What makes you

Make me want you more

What makes you hard to look away from

Is what makes it hard to look at all

Kryptonite

So I’m just your yesterday

That’s all I’ll ever be

Don’t look for sadness in my face

That’s where it’ll never be

It was never puzzle piec-y

I was never your kryptonite

But when you told me I was

It crippled me

 

You’ll say, yeah we had a scene, once

About me to girl on your arm,

But I’ll never acknowledge that we ever did

Cause the girl you thought you loved,

Just wasn’t me.

Resist

The wind stole your caution

I understand

Took all your patience

Right from your hands

But you can’t it back from the devil,

Now I mean your soul,

But you throw it around like a hollow anvil,

Lands on your head you’re gonna feel the blow

 

Don’t you have any resistance

To something with big words and big arms to take you in

Don’t you have any resistance

To something that won’t promise it won’t kill you by accident

Dont you have any resistance

Dont you have any resistance

 

The wind the stole your caution

This is an offshoot

I understand

Of you’re own pride in making

Selfish demands

But you can’t get off your own leash

And the truth will never set you free

Cause their lies are all hooked in your skin

I’d say cut your losses but you’ve still got no desire to leave

 

Don’t you have any resistance

To something with big words and big arms to take you in

Don’t you have any resistance

To something that won’t promise it won’t kill you by accident

Dont you have any resistance

Dont you have any resistance

 

What’s appealing about their cage of privilege

What’s appealing about their teeth so white

What’s appealing about having their lock and no key

What’s appealing about their need to bite

 

Don’t you have any resistance

To something with big words and big arms to take you in

Don’t you have any resistance

To something that won’t promise it won’t kill you by accident

Dont you have any resistance

Dont you have any resistance

Snuffed

When we were young

We sat in castles made of cards,

Floated in waves of lovers arms,

But you made friends with the undertow

I couldn’t reach you anymore

You wanna know how far I’ll go

Can’t say I’m not scared I’ll go your way

 

Out, like a light

You were gone,

You were snuffed,

Like the night turns to dawn

It was over, it was done

We’re snuffed.

 

The pictures are in a box

Under the bed I make

Of me and you in a land

Where we would never change

But you grew and I couldn’t keep up

Couldn’t twist your way anymore

So now I look at those pictures

And I wonder how you went

 

Out, like a light

You were gone,

You were snuffed,

Like the night turns to dawn

It was over, it was done

We’re snuffed.

 

I breathe in the ashes

I take in the silence

I’ll never forget how we used to be

So alive and everything

But I can’t follow you to the dark

(I breathe in the ashes)

(I breathe in the the ashes)

I breathe

 

Out, like a light

You were gone,

You were snuffed,

Like the night turns to dawn

It was over, it was done

You’re over, it’s done

You’re gone,

You’re gone

We’re snuffed.

 

When we were young,

We sat in castles in castles made of cards,

We floated into the lovers’ arms,

But you made friends, with the undertow

With the undertow
