The Wake Up Call

Isn’t it hard to get out of your head?

Cause there your world isn’t perfect, it’s a mess,

You’re a mess.

Isn’t it hard to get out of your head?

Every song they ever wrote you,

Trying to make you feel better,

Make you feel wanted.

 

I try, so hard, to wake you up in the morning,

You try, so hard, to stay in bed and keep dreaming,

I live, this lie, inspired by you,

Inspired by you, this lie, i try, so hard.

 

Isn’t it scary to see the lights all fade away?

Was it worth your satisfaction to ruin everything we made?

You’re a mess, you’re a mess, I take out the garbage,

The immeadiate damage.

Isn’t it scary to see all the lights fade?

Out of your sight, into the shadows,

Forget your past, forget your tomorrows,

Cause you’re not living your today.

 

I try, so hard, to wake you up in the morning,

You try, so hard, to stay in bed and keep dreaming,

I live, this lie, inspired by you,

Inspired by you, this lie, i try, so hard.

 

Climb out your window to get away,

Don’t leave here on goodbye,

I’m just glad you’re getting away,

Somewhere you can sleep in peace,

And I can dream that you’ll come back alive.

Inspired…

This is the wake up call.

(To wake you up in the morning)

This is the wake up call.

(To wake you up in the morning)

This is the wake up call.

 

I try, so hard, to wake you up in the morning,

You try, so hard, to stay in bed and keep dreaming,

I live, this lie, inspired by you,

Inspired by you, this lie, i try, so hard.

Tragedy

Vanity, oh, oh, your tragedy,

Leaves you bruised and bleeding,

Struggling to breath and,

Oh, oh, but you look just fine,

Oh, but you look just fine.

Wired Closed

How much do you see with your eyes closed?

How much do you hear with your mouth wide open?

Oh, they could’ve changed you,

But this was much more entertaining.

 

You can’t bear the thought of you sidelined.

You belong front and center, just like you were told.

You’re as stable as shaking hand,

But smile so no one knows.

 

How much do you see with your eyes closed?

How much do you hear with your mouth wide open?

Oh, they could’ve changed you,

But this was much more entertaining.

 

Brace yourself for the break down,

You knew it was time for a new.

This set of cryptic secrets, reveal what you suspected we knew.

The price of our freedom is freedom to choose,

But you blame the victim for all you make them lose.

 

How much do you see with your eyes closed?

How much do you hear with your mouth wide open?

Oh, they could’ve changed you,

But this was much more entertaining,

And oh,

How much do you see with your eyes wired closed?

How much do you hear with your mouth wide open?

Oh, this was much more entertaining,

Oh, this was much more entertaining.

Masterpiece

Is it some kind of sign when I don’t hear you breathe,

Should I make an excuse to go when you want me to?

Imagine all the tiny stars went out,

We’d sit here in the dark,

Imagine all the tiny stars went out,

We’d sit here in the dark.

 

You take all my oxygen away from me,

To start a fire bigger than both of our broken hearts,

I’m left to stare in wonder,

At the destruction of the masterpiece of us.

The masterpiece of us…

 

This is not just a phase can’t bulldoze through this roughness,

I can’t stand my relfection when there’s guilt in my eyes.

I don’t know what I’m sorry for,

I guess I’m not still when you leave me on the floor.

Imagine all the tiny stars went out,

I would sit here in the dark.

Imagine all he tiny stars went out,

I would sit here in the dark.

 

You take all my oxygen away from me,

To start a fire bigger than both of our broken hearts,

I’m left to stare in wonder,

At the destruction of the masterpiece of us.

The masterpiece of us…

You take all my oxygen away from me,

To start a fire bigger than both of our broken hearts,

I’m left to stare in wonder,

At the destruction of the masterpiece of us.

The masterpiece of us…

Imagine all the tiny stars…

All the tiny stars…

Blew out.

Collars

In this kind of sunshine, it makes me squint at the light,

I can’t see your smile so clear, but I can hear it in your voice,

And I can tell what you’re smiling at, (smiling at),

It’s not me, woah no, I don’t do that to you,

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

 

They force you into their collars,

They force you into their boxes.

They take away all of your colors.

Oh…

 

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

 

Dance beneath the wind and moonlight,

Your faults can’t be seen so clear tonight,

I’m only a few back, I guess it’s a little hard to tell,

Who’s wrong here, when you keep messing up,

And I keep on pretending it’s okay.

But no,

But no, it’s not okay.

 

They force you into their collars,

And they fit you into ther boxes,

They take away all of you colors,

Oh..

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

 

I’m not a stranger, not yet, not anymore,

Not a stranger, not a stranger,

Look in your face, do I see a friend?

Not a stranger, not a stranger, not yet, not anymore.

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

 

They force you into their collars,

They force you into their boxes.

They take away all of your colors.

Oh…

 

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

  (like me) (like me) (like me)

Count The Scars

I can picture your face when you get this letter

I can hear the sobs that it may produce

And i’m sorry, but to get better,

We’ve got to tie the ends that lay loose.

It’s not about leaving you behind,

It’s not about wanting to stay.

I’ve got to go where I’m not yet welcomed,

I’ve got to find where my air can fill a space.

 

Will you still be the same when I’m gone?

Do I want you to be, or do I want you sad?

You can carry on with out me.

I want all of my footsteps traced back right to my feet,

Count the scars I make when I leave, cause I’m sorry,

But I just have to go.

 

I’m too tired to raise my voice, I’m too tired to argue.

I never make my point, and I never get through.

Your halo shine’s too bright for me to keep standing in this room,

My guilt can’t keep me chained,

Where we are I find it hard to smile,

Your hopes won’t make me stay,

I’ve a feeling i’ll be gone a while.

 

Will you still be the same when I’m gone?

Do I want you to be, or do I want you sad?

You can carry on with out me.

I want all of my footsteps traced back right to my feet,

Count the scars I make when I leave, cause I’m sorry,

But I just have to go.

 

I can see your face when you read this letter.

Count the scars, count the scars,

Cause I’m sorry but I just have to go,

You made me have to go.

 

Will you still be the same when I’m gone?

Do I want you to be, or do I want you sad?

You can carry on with out me.

I want all of my footsteps traced back right to my feet,

Count the scars I make when I leave, cause I’m sorry,

But I just have to go.

It Mattered

I watch your lips move,

But don’t hear the sounds,

I should be done with this conversation,

Cause it’s been so long,

Since we’ve said anything at all.

 

It mattered to you before,

That I was comfortable,

That I was sure.

 

And now all we’ve got are these habits,

And they’re tearing us apart,

I’m not just one of your habits,

I won’t sit here, and watch us, fall apart.

 

Please pass the salt,

But your arm can’t quite reach,

Across the distant great, between us.

Can’t meet your eyes, it makes me wanna cry,

Cause this distant between us, keeps me alive.

 

It mattered to you before,

That I was comfortable,

That I was sure.

 

And now all we’ve got are these habits,

And they’re tearing us apart,

I’m not just one of your habits,

I won’t sit here, and watch us, fall apart.

 

Does it matter, now?

Does it matter?

I’m uncomfortable, I’m unsure.

 

It mattered to you before,

That I was comfortable,

That I was sure.

 

And now all we’ve got are these habits,

And they’re tearing us apart,

I’m not just one of your habits,

I won’t sit here, and watch us, fall apart.

 

You might as well, go now.

Stop moving your lips when you make no sound.

You might as well go.

The End

You’re built on the drama,

You’re built on the hype.

Your bad habits will break you,

But you’ll stay whole for the night,

Oh for the night.

 

You live for the moments,

That you can twist in your hands,

All your followers dreams,

All your big, big plans.

Oh all your big, big plans.

 

Your story will end,

When they finally see,

Your making pretend,

Not what you seem to be.

Your story will end,

When you truly admit,

You’re less than they asked for,

And Can’t make up for it.

This fairytale ends.

Too Cold

I only wanna keep you safe,

But the sound of my tears,

Only keeps you awake.

I know, it’s been a lot to take,

I can’t imagine how you deal with the pain.

 

I can, I will, be strong for you.

I can, I will, hold your hand,

When it gets too cold to feel.

I can, I will, be strong for you.

But I need you to,

To give me a reason to be strong.

 

I only wanna keep you happy,

But the sounds of my fears,

Only reach you, sadly,

I know, it’s a been too much to take,

I can’t imagine how you deal with the pain.

 

I can, I will, be strong for you.

I can, I will, hold your hand,

When it gets too cold to feel.

I can, I will, be strong for you.

But I need you to,

To give me a reason to be strong.

 

To feel this pain, it means your alive,

Barely, barely,

It can be hard to smile,

But if you need me, you know where to find me.

I can, I will, be strong for you.

I can, I will, hold your hand,

When it gets too cold to feel.

I can, I will, be strong for you.

But I need you to,

To give me a reason to be strong.

Sigh

I’m not with you for your looks,

I’m not with you for your money.

I’m not with you for what’s in the bedroom,

But if I was that’d be kinda funny.

I’m not with you for your smile,

I’m not with you for conversation

But all of these things together,

Make you sound kind of amazing.

 

You don’t tell me how to feel,

Sometimes you just let me cry.

You don’t tell me what to think

But you tell me what’s on your mind.

I like that you do all these things,

But I love that you’d like to hear me sigh.

Forgetting Me

I can go away any place I like

If you wanna follow well that’s just fine

Don’t make me wait for some nice sunrise

We leave tonight, we leave tonight.

 

The forks in our way try to pick us apart,

The camera angle’s just no good for getting me

They keep forgetting me.

 

We can look anyway we want

Our bad behavior spits on each others hearts

But leave my eyes to what you taunt

This road’s done more love than you ought to

 

The forks in our way try to pick us apart,

The camera angle’s just no good for getting me

They keep forgetting me.

 

Hear the wind play, all our favorite songs,

I told you I won’t wait, not all night long,

But if you wanna stay, don’t try to change my mind,

I’ll leave today, I gotta leave tonight.

 

The forks in our way try to pick us apart,

The camera angle’s just no good for getting me

They keep forgetting me.

Let This Night Go

I forgot how to breathe when you walked in the room,

I forgot how to speak when you didn’t talk to me.

It didn’t seem to affect you, when I came and went.

I have nowhere to go now, but I still want what I can’t.

I started thinking that this was a waste of my time,

I started thinking maybe I should just get some sleep…

 

Let this night go,

Forget how our hearts glow,

Under the soundtrack of the stars.

Let our minds go,

Learn how to be more,

Than the people we think we are.

Who do we think we are?

 

Suddenly, we’re alone in the room,

Suddenly, I’ve never felt so confused.

It didn’t seem to affect you, when I said I didn’t care,

Did you know I was lying? Did you wanna be anywhere but there?

I starting thinking I should tell you what’s on my mind,

You started leaving so I guess we’ll do this some other time.

 

Let this night go,

Forget how our hearts glow,

Under the soundtrack of the stars.

Let our minds go,

Learn how to be more,

Than the people we think we are.

Who do we think we are?

 

I can’t let you walk away,

Without saying what I have to say,

I only wanna be me when you’re there to see it.

I can’t just let you walk away,

Without saying what I still have yet to say,

I only wanna be me when you’re there to see it.

Please be here to see it.

 

Let this night go,

Forget how our hearts glow,

Under the soundtrack of the stars.

Let our minds go,

Learn how to be more,

Than the people we think we are.

Who do we think we are?

 

Don’t let this night go,

Watch our hearts glow,

Underneath the soundtrack of the stars.

Let our minds go,

Learn how to just be,

Who we think we are.

This is who we think we are.

We think we are.
