I heard the blanket phrases start to crawl in past your teeth
and enslave themselves to politics and false commodities.
It's not the way that I remember you, though we were both naive.
Placing blame on our parents and drawing X's on my jeans.
It seems to be the turncoat mentality, where we trade in all the wars we fought for the meaning that we need.
If you loose yourself between the bars and stars begin to flee,
I hope you're brave enough to redefine all the answers that's we seek.
We all seek to mean anything.
Sometimes I think it's best when pride takes a good kick in teeth and we stop to take a long hard look at all that we believe.
No, it's not that I doubt your reasons, unless reason is the call that you yourself would only answer when up against a wall.

I've been using, you know, to while away the wasted time
to feel like I belong here, like I am loved, I am alive.
If I had to give it up, would it crawl under my skin, tearing at the threads, unraveling again.
I hope they say I'm a fighter and nothing like my father 'cause I'm
Higher now and for the moment I can feel you shine on me.
If it's too late and I fall to my devices then let me be and bury me.
Just let me be who I'm going to be and if I cling to my devices, let me live how I'm going to live. It's getting hard to start over again.
The addiction is priceless. Keep your chin up, keep your vices.

I'm sorry, did you say something to me
I got lost inside my head.
Either way, theses night winds whisper through me like I'm a ghost, unholy spirit.
And these thoughts, they howl and bark like dogs just waiting to be fed. Their limbs are clawing reaching out for words better left unsaid.
These are the gods that we've invented. The ones better left for dead.
Do you ever stop to wonder why we're here
Do you only pray to make your conscience feel clear
Do you ever stop to wonder why we're here, why we're really here.
I have found that pride is just another pot to piss in.
Despondency's a self bred fool that lacks his inhibitions.
I've slept beneath this rootless tree and the weight in which it bears as the faithful sing of better things of which we're unaware.
Do you ever stop to wonder why we're here
Do you only pray to make your conscience feel clear
Do you ever stop to wonder why we're here, why we're really here.

There's a ghost in the clock downstairs
He's taking all the time we can spare
I'll admit that the fight it ain't fair, but it comes to be all we expect, except
I hear the sirens in my ear
It's taking the ones I hold dear
In time we'll find the light that will guide us back home
Ferry my upon the water
meet me there along the shore
I wanna hear the angels singing
I want to know what I was for
I hear the sirens in my ear
It's taking the ones I hold dear
In time we'll find the light that will guide us back home
When all the memories seem to fade
and there's nothing left in their place
will you and I somehow remain
before the memories are washed away.

I lit a fire to consume everything in it's path
You we're the one who always knew, I never knew you
I swear to god, I told the truth
I'm never going to change, I've always been this way and I'm always left to blame
You we're the one, you always knew
I swear to god I told the truth, I never knew you
It's been hell, it's been hell
might as well tell the truth
It's been fight after fight, I don't know how we'll pull through
But farewell might as well be the end of my days
I don't feel the goodbye
but I don't want it to stay this way
I held you above the clouds
above a jealous sky, below god's unnerving eye
Well, I think it's time you come back down
because you're no Andromeda and well, I guess it's hard for me to say
all that glitter's isn't gold anyway
But, if you'd rather choose to be the architect of our arguments
then I would rather lose.
In all honesty, I never cared to stay blameless
t's been hell, it's been hell
might as well tell the truth
It's been fight after fight, I don't know how we'll pull through
But farewell might as well be the end of my days
I don't feel the goodbye
but I don't want it to stay this way

Anxiety if you were a friend
I'd hug you, but not because I love you
I just need you to calm down/
Man, stop freaking me out
I don't need you to remind me how much I hate myself
I just want the world to make sense.
I don't want to do this again.
