Nowhere But Gone

If you could find her bed in the dark,

You can find your way out of my heart,

And I truly believe that I’ll be happier,

When you’re nowhere but gone.

When you’re nowhere but gone.

 

Did you think I wouldn’t notice,

That you never spend the night here.

Your white lies never did me harm,

But that last was the blackest thing to ever cross your lips,

And I know that you’re not sorry

That you met her.

But I’m sorry, I wasted my time.

 

If you could find her bed in the dark,

You can find your way out of my heart,

And I truly believe that I’ll be happier,

When you’re nowhere but gone.

When you’re nowhere but gone.

 

You were never there for me,

Even when I gave you my heart.

You said let’s be everything,

And then slid out the back door.

I know you’re not sorry, you met her,

But I’m sorry, I wasted my time.

 

If you could find her bed in the dark,

You can find your way out of my heart,

And I truly believe that I’ll be happier,

When you’re nowhere but gone.

When you’re nowhere but gone.

 

Don’t pretend like you made a mistake,

Cause once was a mistake, but now you made it a habit.

You’re a cheater, you’re a cheater,

And I’m wondering why you’re still here.

 

If you could find her bed in the dark,

You can find your way out of my heart,

And I truly believe that I’ll be happier,

When you’re nowhere but gone.

When you’re nowhere but gone.

Now you’re nowhere but gone.

Chase

I heard you scream the other night,

Got out of bed, but you were gone.

I haven’t seen you since.

I wonder where you are and why,

You don’t take my phone calls.

I miss you so much I can’t breathe.

 

You hadda go chase your demons,

Out of your head,

But I wish you’d let me help you.

You hadda go chase the demons,

Out of your bed,

But you chased me with them.

 

I heard somebody talk about you,

Like you were some kind of crazy.

I punched him in the mouth.

I wonder where you are and why,

You never come home.

I miss you so much, it hurts to breathe.

 

You hadda go chase your demons,

Out of your head,

But I wish you’d let me help you.

You hadda go chase the demons,

Out of your bed,

But you chased me with them.

 

I check the mailbox everyday,

Waiting on a sign that you’re okay.

I sit in silence, waiting for the back door,

To creak on open, and you’ll walk through,

Wearing that smile that you hadda to go find,

Cause I couldn’t keep it there.

 

You hadda go chase your demons,

Out of your head,

But I wish you’d let me help you.

You hadda go chase the demons,

Out of your bed,

But you chased me with them.

South of Sanity

I’ve been living south of sanity,

Trying to make it back to, civilization

I’m been living south of sanity, well.

I don’t wanna leave on permanent vacation.

 

And I’ve been wandering here,

Yeah I’ve been wandering here.

(chorus riff)

 

I’ve been living south of sanity, well.

Following the stars to the where I come from,

I’ve been living south of sanity, oh.

I know I know I lost my way, but I’ve learned some.

 

This desert calls me darling,

I make my home in it’s heart,

But this is south of sanity,

And I want to be something.

This desert calls me darling,

And it’s the only one,

But this is south of sanity,

I want to be something.

Else.

 

I’ve been living south of sanity well,

I’ve been taking things really slowly,

I’ve been living south of sanity well,

Three am, and the shadows know me.

 

And I’ve been wandering here,

Yeah I’ve been wandering here.

 

This desert calls me darling,

I make my home in it’s heart,

But this is south of sanity,

And I want to be something.

This desert calls me darling,

And it’s the only one,

But this is south of sanity,

I want to be something.

Else.

 

I’m on the bus back to where you are,

Things don’t look too familiar.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen the city,

And it’s face doesn’t seem to remember.

How it tossed me out,

How it left me to die,

It found you instead to,

Keep itself alive.

So I get off the bus,

And walk back to my home.

I’d rather live south of sanity,

Than live sane alone.

 

And I’ve been wandering here,

Yeah I’ve been wandering here.

 

This desert calls me darling,

I make my home in it’s heart,

But this is south of sanity,

And I want to be something.

This desert calls me darling,

And it’s the only one,

But this is south of sanity,

I want to be something.

Here.

Smile, Today

I won’t get the phone

Cause they’re calling me up

Just, to tell me that I’m not okay.

I keep promising myself,

That tomorrow will be better,

And that it’s them taking the chances away.

But all my fears, are real now.

And the bruises I keep avoiding,

Are stinging me all at once.

 

This isn’t is where I’m supposed to be,

Only temporary,

I’m gonna make someone smile today.

Cause everything’s so lonely,

Can you feel me grinning at you,

Can I help you smile, today.

 

Please, make time for me,

To change your life,

I swear I’ll only be a minute.

Okay, keep walking but there’s a million other people,

Looking for help just like you,

And willing to take it from anywhere they can get it.

 

This isn’t is where I’m supposed to be,

Only temporary,

I’m gonna make someone smile today.

Cause everything’s so lonely,

Can you feel me grinning at you,

Can I help you smile, today.

 

And you, darling you,

If I could give you the stars,

They’d be under your arms,

I’m sorry, I can’t reach that far.

And you, darling you,

Will be the only one to make me fall.

This hard.

 

This isn’t is where we’re supposed to be,

Only temporary,

We’re gonna make someone smile today.

Cause everyone’s so lonely,

Can you feel me grinning at you,

Can I help you smile, today.

Never Tell Me Goodbye

Something says I’m too attached.

Cause you’ll move forward

I’ll get left back.

Something says I’m being too honest.

Cause I’ll look stupid when you go.

I wish I was more afraid

To say what I’m gonna say

 

Never tell me goodbye

I’ll never say it back

Won’t ever leave your side

Never tell me goodbye

Don’t ever mean it

Don’t ever go

I’ll be yours forever,

You and me, together,

Let’s go.

Won’t ever say goodbye.

 

Something says you mean it now,

But maybe you won’t.

Got my eyes closed, feeling you out,

I want to but I don’t.

Something says, I’m falling deep.

But I’ll be down, when you leave.

I wish I was more afraid,

To tell you what you mean to me.

 

Never tell me goodbye

I’ll never say it back

Won’t ever leave your side

Never tell me goodbye

Don’t ever mean it

Don’t ever go

I’ll be yours forever,

You and me, together,

Let’s go.

Won’t ever say goodbye.

 

It’s unfair, to ask you, if you still care.

It’s unfair, to ask you, if you still care.

I’ll be yours forever,

You and me together,

Let’s go.

Won’t ever say goodbye.

Took It For Mine

You said I fucked up your life.

But I only fucked with your mind.

Such a smoking gun,

Such a bitten lip,

Like the forbidden fruit,

Without you I wouldn’t exist.

Don’t leave, or tell me you’re gonna,

Cause we both know you’re not that strong.

 

You can’t go find what’s yours,

Cause I took it for mine.

You’ve got no place to go, then stay,

Cause I’ve always got room for your broken smile.

 

You swear you’d be better off,

With someone different.

I say, but who’d get you off,

The way I do.

We both know I’m not kidding,

It’s how we are.

Who would I be, if I didn’t love your every scar.

Don’t leave, or tell me you’re going.

Cause we both know you’re not strong.

 

You can’t go find what’s yours,

Cause I took it for mine.

You’ve got no place to go, then stay,

Cause I’ve always got room for your broken smile.

 

You’d only walk away,

If I pushed you out that door.

Please stay.

You’d only walk away,

If I pushed you out that door,

Please stay.

 

You can’t go find what’s yours,

Cause I took it for mine.

You’ve got no place to go, then stay,

Cause I’ve always got room for your broken smile.

Have it back, if it makes you happy.

But I’ll always have you in my hands.

You’ve got no place to go, so stay,

Cause I’ve always got ways to make you fix that broken smile.

The Nightmare (Wanna Be Your Dream)

It gets hard to feel you in my dreams,

When we’re all black and white, ripped apart at the seams.

Lost track of time, and where I am,

Back to the start or nearing the end.

Lost sight of real, I can only pretend.

 

You’re the nightmare, lying to me,

But I keep your secrets, cause I wanna be your dream.

You’re the nightmare, making me scream,

But I keep coming back, cause I wanna be your dream.

You don’t feel me…

 

It’s time to realize what went wrong,

When I’m shaking, and bleeding, and not sorry at all,

How I got here, where I am,

Lost in your mirrors, here comes the end.

Lost sight of real, I can only pretend.

 

You’re the nightmare, lying to me,

But I keep your secrets, cause I wanna be your dream.

You’re the nightmare, making me scream,

But I keep coming back, cause I wanna be your dream.

You don’t feel me…

 

Maybe this time, you’ll meet me,

Take me to where I belong.

I won’t wake up screaming,

And if I do, I’ll be in your arms.

 

You’re the nightmare, lying to me,

But I keep your secrets, cause I wanna be your dream.

You’re the nightmare, making me scream,

But I keep coming back, cause I wanna be your dream.

You don’t feel me…

Do you feel me?

Cultured Perfection

You speak the tongue of reason

To the queen of idealism

Whisper in my ear again

The words you say are cultured perfection.

Woah, start praying, woah.

Cause darling, they’ll never catch us alive.

 

You sound impressed

But you haven’t seen nothing yet

I’m holding your breath

With my cultured perfection.

 

You meet me at my middle,

But I’ll be late, oh just a little,

Tell it to my heart again,

The words you say are cultured perfection.

Woah, start paying, woah.

Cause darling, you’re setting this on fire.

 

You sound impressed

But you haven’t seen nothing yet

I’m holding your breath

With my cultured perfection.

 

Take my picture,

I’m such a vision,

Take my picture,

Lights on or off?

Take my picture,

It’s so unnatural,

Take my picture,

Lights on or off?

 

You sound impressed,

But you haven’t seen anything yet,

I’m holding your breath,

With my cultured perfection.

 

Cause darling, we’re making this a mess.

They’ll never catch us…alive.

Waiting

I’m wide

Awake

It’s hard

To shake

The feeling I’m not being something you needed.

Just taking up space in the heart feeling cheated.

 

I’m tired

Still

Wired

Thrilled

Cause tomorrow will be the ultimate test

If you’re holding on I will hold to the death.

 

It’s so close to being a little too far

The distance between us is breaking my heart

I’m in love with your love, but is it always enough?

To feel like I’m waiting for what just won’t come.

The Girl Made By The Scientist

I once met a girl

Who was made by a scientist

He kept her in a cage but one day

She found her way out of it

I said hello, and I told her my name

She had no place to go, I said why don’t you come with me?

 

The scientist never missed her,

Only wondered where she went.

She is special, she is someone,

And to him she’s just an experiment.

 

I’m living with this girl

Who was made by a scientist

But I heard they keep them in cages

My boyfriend said, how did she get out of it?

I know this girl

Who was made by a scientist

She met a boy

Who loved her with everything

 

The scientist never missed her,

Only wondered where she went.

She is special, she is someone,

And to him she was just an experiment.

 

I met a little girl today,

Maybe only four or five years old,

She looked at me and couldn’t wait to say hello

My mommy was a girl

Who was made by a scientist

He kept her in a cage

Until she one day found her way out of it

I’m so happy she did because

People shouldn’t live in cages

Little girls shouldn’t live in cages

Without love.

 

The scientist never missed her,

Only wondered where she went.

She is special, she is someone,

And to him she’s just an experiment.

The scientist never missed her,

Only wondered where she went.

She is special, she is someone,

And to him she’s just an experiment.

 

I once met a girl

Who was made by a scientist

I was touched by her life,

More like grabbed by the wrist.

The girl made by the scientist is love,

Not an experiment.

A friend, a lover, even an enemy a mother,

All the science in the world couldn’t make you that.

Eternity

I’ve waited forever

To find a love like this

I was so happy

And thought you were happy too

Excuse me for not paying attention

 

One day you’ll wake up

And you won’t see my face

Won’t say my name in your sleep

One day you’ll forget

That you ever promised me

Eternity

 

I know you think I’m fine

Everybody does

But it’s not hard to wear a smile

It’s not hard to fake it through the days

You proved that

Oh you proved that

 

One day you’ll wake up

And you won’t see my face

Won’t say my name in your sleep

One day you’ll forget

That you ever promised me

Eternity

 

One day I’ll wake up

And I won’t see your face

Won’t say your name in my sleep

One day I’ll forget

That you ever promised me

Why did you ever promise me

Why would you ever promise

Eternity

He said I don’t know what to do about you

I just can’t make it work

I said, then don’t do anything

It kills, but it’s a good

Kinda hurt.

 

He put his hands on my back,

I thought he was gonna cry.

I’m sorry that I’m such a problem

When you’ve got somebody, loving you right

And it get’s hard, but the loving’s easy

When you’ve somebody, loving you right

When you’ve got somebody, loving you right

And it get’s hard, but the loving’s easy

And everything else keeping you off my mind

I’m sorry I’ve got all these problems

I’m sorry I still want you mine

And it’s everything else that keeps us awake

And everything else that makes us fight

I’m sorry we’ve got all these problems

I’m sorry, I’m sorry all I can do is sigh

 

And it got hard, but loving’s easy

When you’ve got somebody, loving you right

And it get’s hard, but the loving’s easy

When you’ve got somebody, loving you right
