Come into the open light,

So I can see the scars you hid from me.

Smooth

You took everything for granted,

And now you’re alone,

You’re stuck, feet are firmly planted,

I guess you’ll never learn.

Worse luck, that you’re even more enchanting,

After you touched it and burned.

 

You took the pain out of love,

And swallowed it whole but,

The pill didn’t go down smooth.

Now you’re a mess and

Convincing yourself that

You’ve got them all fooled.

 

I said, think of what you’re doing,

The enemy you’d make,

I said, think of all your losing,

By not taking the time it takes.

I said, you know you would be choosing,

Something short-term over something  worth taking.

 

You took the pain out of love,

And swallowed it whole but,

The pill didn’t go down smooth.

You changed your mind,

And you can’t do that,

When you’re already halfway through.

 

You’ll make it through.

 

You took the pain out of love,

And swallowed it whole but,

The pill didn’t go down smooth.

Now you’re a mess and

Convincing yourself that

You can still make it through.

But you’re not fooled.

Hello again.

End this, start this, did you even want this?

Change this, break this, go ahead and take this from me.

Take it from my hands.

Count to ten, start again, cause I know what you need.

Put it in your hands.

Put me in your hands.

 

Goodbye, hello,

Goodbye again.

It’s the same old story,

With the same old end,

Rinse, wash, repeat,

Your stains left in my head,

Goodbye, goodbye,

goodbye.

Hello again.

 

Shake this, fake this, how did we make this?

Tossed this, crossed this, somewhere in the parking lot.

On my way out.

Want this, flaunt this, but looks like you forgot.

Get on your way out.

You take my way out.

 

Goodbye, hello,

Goodbye again.

It’s the same old story,

With the same old end,

Rinse, wash, repeat,

Your stains left in my head,

Goodbye, goodbye,

goodbye.

Hello again.

 

Cut the wire, cut the cord,

You can’t bleed me out no more.

Change the locks on this heart’s door,

Or change the ways you fight your war.

I know how you keep score,

Get the barbwire, cut the cord.

Yeah, let’s start a fire, cut the cord.

 

Goodbye, goodbye,

goodbye.

Hello again.

This isn’t like we’re old friends.

Goodbye, goodbye,

goodbye.

Hello again.

 

 

Goodbye, hello,

Goodbye again.

It’s the same old story,

With the same old end,

Rinse, wash, repeat,

Your stains left in my head,

Goodbye, goodbye,

goodbye.

Hello again.

Could’ve Been

I said be honest. what do you feel?

but the question never left my throat.

sometimes i wish you could hear,

what i say to you, when i imagine you’re next to me in bed.

when i realize what it is they do to you.

You live so far from the truth.

 

that could’ve been the last time

i ever looked in your eyes

it could’ve been the last time

i ever saw the sun.

that could’ve been the last time

i ever took a breath

it could’ve been the last time

i ever knew what you meant.

it could’ve been the last time

that everything seemed worth it.

 

now you ask me what i feel?

and i brush the question from your lips if i could.

but you don’t feel me here, cause you’re so over there.

i miss you when your eyes leave me,

and somewhere your heaven of isolation treats you well.

 

that could’ve been the last time

i ever looked in your eyes

it could’ve been the last time

i ever saw the sun.

that could’ve been the last time

i ever took a breath

it could’ve been the last time

i ever knew what you meant.

it could’ve been the last time

that everything seemed worth it.

 

is it a waste?

am i a bother?

is this a circle?

 

that could’ve been the last time

i ever looked in your eyes

it could’ve been the last time

i ever saw the sun.

that could’ve been the last time

i ever took a breath

it could’ve been the last time

i ever knew what you meant.

it could’ve been the last time

that everything seemed worth it.

Around

Big plans, come with big ideas,

And I,

Don’t wanna lose you to them.

Tonight, bring your big ideas,

And we,

Could just get lost within them.

 

Warn them, that you’re lovely.

 

See with your eyes open,

Not just a glance this time,

Make up your mind,

See with your eyes open,

Not just a glance this time,

Make up your mind,

Cause i’m not always around for to you waste my time.

 

Too much, comes at such a cost,

And I,

Don’t know what you are costing,

Too much, to cover such a cost,

And we,

Are just the beginning.

 

Warn them that you’re lovely.

 

See with your eyes open,

Not just a glance this time,

Make up your mind,

See with your eyes open,

Not just a glance this time,

Make up your mind,

Cause i won’t always be around for you to waste my time.

.

I’m not a stray but i’m a stranger

inconvenient to my blood

pretty words with no dimensions

my name does me no good

there’s  a circle i’m not in

no matter where i seem to stand

this light does me no justice but

you judge outside your head

i’m not a stray but i’m a stranger

inconvenient to my blood

bonds i never made are fraying

not only at the ends

my eyes are shining green because i see

i see that we just can’t be friends

i’m not a stray but i’m a stranger

inconvenient to my blood

Happy

The only one worth staying for,

is the only one who’ll never leave.

i keep waiting for the fall out.

i keep waiting for the smiles to be temporary.

you said we’d make it through the longest night.

you said you’d always be by my side.

why can’t i just believe you?

 

dark blue of midnight dreams

and wanting you to just want me

its finally real it’s finally time to be

happy.

Blame Games and Losing Streaks

should i wait til you’re listening

should i wait til you care

after all this time i spent

it’s like i was never even there

visions of redemption

are nothing i can’t be

but your pride is a bitter pill

extra dosage turned to me

and i can’t stop it now

this runaway train of empty conversations

 

please don’t talk your way back,

please don’t make believe you want amends,

it’s over it’s over it’s over,

it’s too broken to be fixed,

 

you’re like the itch,

the one that can’t be scratched,

maybe i’m blaming you

for all i didn’t see,

and why i’m lonely.

suddenly i’m staring at your back,

no knife in my hands

but i can’t turn away just yet.

and i can’t stop it now

this runaway train of empty conversations

 

please don’t talk your way back,

please don’t make believe you want amends,

it’s over it’s over it’s over,

it’s too broken to be fixed.

 

are bridges made to be burned?

are lessons made to be learned the hard way?

are bridges made to be burned?

are lessons made to be learned the hard way?

are bridges made to be burned?

are lessons made to be learned the hard way?

are bridges made to be burned?

are lessons made to be learned the hard way?

are bridges made to be burned?

are lessons made to be learned the hard way?

 

please don’t talk your way back,

please don’t make believe you want amends,

it’s over it’s over it’s over,

it’s too broken to be fixed

please don’t talk your way back,

please don’t make believe you want amends,

i can’t pretend that it’s not over yet,

it’s too broken to be fixed again.

Underneath Their Wings

heroes are such fickle things to have

underneath their wings, underneath their wings,

we find that they do not exist cept to the naked eye.

 

long ago i had a friend,

who was a hero of mine.

before i knew better than to let him have my pride

he got himself into a corner of my mind,

and now i never sleep alone at night.

 

falling so easy,

falling so hard.

taken aback by all of your scars,

falling so easy,

falling so hard,

they thank you after you tear them apart,

falling…

 

once upon a cloudy dream,

there was a ghost who haunted me,

lines on his face told stories of a worser time,

so i let him have this heart of mine.

 

lately he stays up at night,

looking for the brightest star in the sky,

i try to help but i’m blind,

to everything because he hides,

deeper in the pockets of my insides,

than even i can go.

 

falling so easy,

falling so hard.

taken aback by all of your scars,

falling so easy,

falling so hard,

they thank you after you tear them apart,

falling…

Doors Unbroken

Lightless puddles,

Are what you’ve come to be,

If you can’t help but

Leave me exactly where you want me.

All the broken promises,

All the empty tears,

All the salty wounds,

What happened here?

 

Behind doors I can’t break down,

Broken hearts are giving up and letting go,

It’s all they know.

Behind windows tainted red,

From unneccesary bloodshed,

I see weightless good intentions

Overshadowed by the urge to fight it off,

Behind doors we can’t break down…

 

Lightless tunnels,

Are what lie ahead

If we cant help but

Let ourselves

Be mislead.

All the broken promises,

All the empty tears,

All the salty wounds,

What happened here?

 

Behind doors I can’t break down,

Broken hearts are giving up and letting go,

It’s all they know.

Behind windows tainted red,

From unnecessary bloodshed,

I see weightless good intentions

Overshadowed by the urge to fight it off,

Behind doors we can’t break down…

 

You’re scared of your own shadow,

Cause its bigger than you know you’ll ever be,

In your ring of fire,

You’re all you think you need

Cause you don’t see.

 

Behind doors I can’t break down,

Broken hearts are giving up and letting go,

It’s all they know.

Behind windows tainted red,

From unnecessary bloodshed,

I see weightless good intentions

Overshadowed by the urge to fight it off,

Behind doors we can’t break down…

Verses…We’re Both Wolves

Do you think before you speak?

Do you think you’re what I need?

You mislead the most innocent of sheep.

I can see it your stare,

I bet you’re calm and well-aware

Of what you are and just don’t care,

Cause they always come back to kiss you on the cheek.

 

My resistance is unique,

And you’ll see who you could be,

To ever get to mean anything to me.

You think you’re worth the price they pay,

That’s just one of your mistakes,

You continually make,

I can feel it in your wake that you agree.

 

Bridge:

Maybe you’re all the I deserve,

After all I’ve got the nerve,

To be your greatest conquest,

And your one and only…

Defeat.

Sifting Through The Sand

I held my head so high,

I couldn’t see, the reasons why,

It never gonna work out like I planned.

We all shed tears and we all cry,

But there’s a bottom out sometimes,

To get the seashells, you haveta sift through the sand.

 

Do you even know my face?

Do you see my scars?

It was all a lie, until I fell apart,

Did you see the times I tried,

We’ll I finally got it right,

I held on so tight,

Now I’m finally saying goodbye.

 

You were always there,

Made sure I knew you cared,

But now there’s another who’s caring for me.

Even though it’s hard, I gotta push through rock,

Because love is stronger than it all.

 

Do you even know my face?

Do you see my scars?

It was all a lie, until I fell apart,

Did you see the times I tried,

We’ll I finally got it right,

I held on so tight,

Now I’m finally saying…

 

Saying that I understand,

Why I always knew you’re sand…
