Crumble, Fall, Choke

They say this could kill you,

Whether it’s wrong or it’s right,

I know they’re right you know,

But something in my head tells me stop listening.

All of the lovers that I’ve ever loved before,

They crumble, they crumble, they crumble, they fall.

 

I keep your hands close to my heart,

I never wanna choke up these stupid words.

I keep your hands close to my heart,

They warm me, they warm me, save me from hurt.

 

I say you could save me,

Whether it’s wrong or it’s right,

I know, still not tonight,

But something in my head tells me to stop listening.

All of the lovers that I’ve ever loved before,

They crumble, they crumble, they crumble, they fall.

 

Ashes, ashes,

They all fall down.

Ashes, ashes,

They all fall down.

They crumble, they crumble, they crumble, they fall.

 

I keep your hands close to my heart,

I never wanna choke up these stupid words.

I keep your hands close to my heart,

They warm me, they warm me, save me from hurt.

Oh, you save me from hurt.

Please save me from hurt.

Beside You

If you’re wondering,

Why I say I can’t,

Tell you how I feel.

It’s because those words,

Have been rarely heard,

My heart is hard to hear.

 

These melodies,

Fly to you on broken wings,

But they’d take you anywhere.

Your promises,

Sound so sincere,

I’m getting cavities just sitting here.

 

This first kiss could be the last first kiss,

Right beside you, I could die like this,

It’s so dramatic, and so in your face,

Right beside you, I’m all over the place.

Oh…

Beside you.

I’m alive, in your arms,

Wherever you go,

Wherever you are.

I’m alive, in your heart,

Wherever you go,

Wherever you are,

I’m beside you.

 

If you’re wondering,

Why I let you pull away,

It’s cause in case you ever wanna go, I’ll know how to let you go,

But please don’t go,

No please don’t go.

You’re hands in my hands,

I’ll never go hungry,

Cause only on you, I survive,

 

This first kiss, could be the last first kiss,

Right beside you, I could die like this,

It’s so dramatic, and so in your face,

Right beside you, I’m all over the place.

Oh…

Beside you.

I’m alive, in your arms,

Wherever you go,

Wherever you are.

I’m alive, in your heart,

Wherever you go,

Wherever you are,

I’m beside you.

Those Who Have None Need

Count the ways into your heart,

But it’s not quite worth the journey.

Dawn is breaking, now I see,

That you were only out to hurt me.

And all your sinful steps have finally lead you to my door

I’m not home, I’m not home and don’t come back here anymore.

All your sinful steps have somehow lead you to my door,

I’m not home, I’m not home, don’t make me say it anymore.

 

Say a prayer for the sick of heart, and those who have none

You know which of the two you are.

Is it hard to tell in your faded light, which man you are tonight,

I hope he prays, cause boy you need a prayer.

 

The sun sets now and it’s almost night,

The perfect time for staying,

My sharp tongue could never match,

The blade by which you slay me.

And all your sinful steps have finally lead you to my door

I’m not home, I’m not home and don’t come back here anymore.

All your sinful steps have somehow lead you to my door,

I’m not home, I’m not home, don’t make me say it anymore.

 

Say a prayer for the sick of heart, and those who have none

You know which of the two you are.

Is it hard to tell in your faded light, which man you are tonight,

I hope he prays, cause boy you need a prayer.

 

And all your sinful steps have finally lead you to my door

I’m not home, I’m not home and don’t come back here anymore.

All your sinful steps have somehow lead you to my door,

I’m not home, I’m not home, don’t make me say it anymore.

 

Say a prayer for the sick of heart, and those who have none

You know which of the two you are.

Is it hard to tell in your faded light, which man you are tonight,

I hope he prays, cause boy you need a prayer.

Count the ways into your heart,

But it’s not quite worth the journey.

Legend

From the first hello, it was hell.

From the first misstep, it was bound to be misery.

This timing’s got to be the death of me,

Step over my body, just leave my coffin open,

To maybe see light other than your halo one day.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.

 

From the first goodbye, it was never good.

From the first kiss, it was a kiss goodbye.

Your timing’s got to be the death of me.

Step over my body, just leave my wounds open.

I want to feel hands more healing than yours, one day.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.

 

I don’t wanna ruin your nice reputation.

I wouldn’t wanna ruin your nice reputation.

I don’t have to believe in you.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.

Helpless Little Love

I leave the back door open, in case you come on in

It’s cold out there, just the touch of lips,

Used to warm you up,

But now it’s something strange,

Cause I’m, just not enough.

Nuh uh, I’m just not enough.

 

I keep, my hands open,

You make, the tightest fists I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never seen…

 

Eyes like, melting crystals,

I slide, over and over,

The chills you whisper towards me I can’t fight,

But I can’t keep you here, with my helpless little fears,

Every night.

 

I keep my eyes wide open, in case you walk on by,

With your eyes down but your head up high,

Used to know my face,

But now it’s something strange,

Cause I’m not just not enough.

Nuh uh, I’m not just not enough.

 

I keep, my hands open,

You make, the tightest fists I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never seen…

 

Eyes like, melting crystals,

I slide, over and over,

The chills you whisper towards me I can’t fight,

But I can’t keep you here, with my helpless little fears,

Every night.

 

Put your head, in my lap,

Let me do, what I can.

I’d die to let you live,

Even without me.

Put your head, in my lap,

Let me do, what I can.

Cause I would die to let you live,

Again.

 

I keep, my hands open,

You make, the tightest fists I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never seen…

 

Eyes like, melting crystals,

I slide, over and over,

The chills you whisper towards me I can’t fight,

But I can’t keep you here, with my helpless little fears,

Every night.

Taking Sides

I can’t take these inner conflicts

I don’t know who’s side to take

My mind or my heart

I can’t take these average days

So many hours left to debate

Is this the end or a start

 

Silence tells me everything that you don’t wanna say

 

I keep taking, taking sides.

I keep taking yours and not taking mine,

Why do I let you decide?

The wars inside they tear me cause no one’s fighting for me

I keep taking, taking sides.

I keep taking yours and not taking mine,

Take my side.

Crime Cave Productions. <3

You know you’re front and center

But it’s on and then it’s off so often

Sometimes I gotta let you go

You know the power that you have

And so you see it makes me mad

Sometimes I gotta let you know…

Someday

I don’t hear your footsteps, slide across the floor.

I don’t make any sense, all I do is cry anymore.

You don’t help nothing, by being the way you are.

You don’t help anything by spending the night in your car.

 

Cause everyone says they wanna get away,

But nobody knows just where to go,

All these problems get in the way,

Sometimes you get given more than you can hold.

I got a plan for something someday,

We’re already on the road,

This is the time for making mistakes,

We’re young now but someday we’ll be old.

 

I can pretend I’m sleeping when you creep into our house.

It’s harder to pretend I’m breathing, when I know you’re somewhere out.

You don’t help nothing by being the way you are,

But don’t you change anything, perfect is just a distant star.

 

Cause everyone says they wanna get away,

But nobody knows just where to go,

All these problems get in the way,

Sometimes you get given more than you can hold.

I got a plan for something someday,

We’re already on the road,

This is the time for making mistakes,

We’re young now but someday we’ll be old.

 

We’re not so young now, but we can still play games.

We’re not so young now, but let us still play games.

 

Cause everyone says they wanna get away,

But nobody knows just where to go,

All these problems get in the way,

Sometimes you get given more than you can hold.

I got a plan for something someday,

We’re already on the road,

This is the time for making mistakes,

We’re young now but someday we’ll be old.

Lock and Key

There’s a time and a place,

To say what’s on your mind,

And right now, I hope you’re ready to speak.

There’s a right and a wrong way,

To go every distance,

Only you would rather follow than lead.

 

You said you wanted to stay,

But it was a lie.

Now it’s getting late,

And I’m wasting your time,

I have the lock and you lost the key,

You think it’s all over now,

So say you’re sorry and leave.

 

There’s a turn and a twist,

And a bump in the road,

But I am gonna get where I’m going.

There’s a door and a way,

I can fight my way out,

I know you’re just a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

 

You said you wanted to stay,

But it was a lie.

Now it’s getting late,

And I’m wasting your time,

I have the lock and you lost the key,

You think it’s all over now,

So say you’re sorry and leave.

 

There’s a wish and a star,

Kind of feeling tonight,

Like a fish hooked on a baited line.

There’s a snake and a fool,

In front of the room now,

Dancing cause he venomously lied.

 

It was sad, it was lonely, the biggest mistake.

But you only had fun cause it was part of the chase…

 

You said you wanted to stay,

But it was a lie.

Now it’s getting late,

And I’m wasting your time,

I have the lock and you lost the key,

You think it’s all over now,

So say you’re sorry and leave.

Civil War

All you want to do is breathe and sleep,

I can’t even hear your heart beat anymore.

But I’ve seen this sob story somewhere,

It’s like I’ve read it on the walls of my own tomb.

 

If you wanted to go and be sad,

They should’ve let you

Who am I to stop you?

Who am I to stop you,

To stop the whispers, stop the nightmares,

Who am i to help you? to confuse you?

If you wanted to stay and be sad,

They should’ve let you.

 

All I wanted to do was just sleep one more week,

I didn’t wanna hear my heart beat anymore,

I knew I’d seen this sob story somewhere,

I had read it on the ones of my tomb,

So I’m no judge, I’m no wedge,

In the door to your outsides,

The door to insides.

 

If you wanted to go and be sad,

They should’ve let you

Who am I to stop you?

Who am I to stop you,

To stop the whispers, stop the nightmares,

Who am i to help you? to confuse you?

If you wanted to stay and be sad,

They should’ve let you.

 

Why did they stop me?

Who were they to stop me?

Stop the scissors, stop the civil wars,

Stop the sleepless nights,

Stop confusing me,

Who am I to stop you?

 

If you wanted to go and be sad,

They should’ve let you

Who am I to stop you?

Who am I to stop you,

To stop the whispers, stop the nightmares,

Who am i to help you? to confuse you?

If you wanted to stay and be sad,

They should’ve let you.

Why didn’t they let you?

I can’t just let you.

You can’t stay here and be sad,

Cause they didn’t let me.

Oh, who were they to stop me?

Who am I to stop you?

Do This To Me

My eyes tear with confusion

It’s easier to blame you for them

You make me think too hard now

To let you crawl under my skin, woah oh.

 

Everytime you say hello,

Everytime you say goodbye,

I make a million mistakes in between.

 

Second guessing, just pretending,

This is me, this what you wanted to see.

Second guessing, still obsessing,

It’s terrible that you do this to me.

Instead

It’s nice to see you smiling, if it’s only when it’s raining,

Sometimes it’s hard to see you cry.

You whine about the friends you have,

And the people who just don’t like you,

It’s hard to tell what side I’m on sometimes.

Cause every friend you make is just another hangman,

And I can’t cover all your debts to society.

 

Take me in stead,

Instead of all their wants,

Take me instead,

Instead of all their stupid thoughts.

Take me instead,

Take me instead of her,

Take me instead.

 

It’s nice to see you on my side, if it’s only when it’s raining.

Sometimes it’s hard to you see not try.

I tell you all these stupid things,

But sometimes you don’t hear.

Sometimes it’s hard to see you lose sight.

Cause every friend you make is just another hangman,

And I can’t cover all your debts to society.

 

Take me in stead,

Instead of all their wants,

Take me instead,

Instead of all their stupid thoughts.

Take me instead,

Take me instead of her,

Take me instead.

 

She’ll only break her promises,

And stab you with thorns on her roses.

I may not be much to look at,

But at least I’m not much to fear.

At least I’m not much to please.

At least I’m not her, at least I’m not her.

Cause every girl you meet is just another hangman,

And I can’t try to cover all your debts to society.

 

Take me in stead,

Instead of all their wants,

Take me instead,

Instead of all their stupid thoughts.

Take me instead,

Take me instead of her,

Take me instead.
