I wake up at the end of a long dark lonely year
it's bringing out the worst in me
I hear your voice start breaking in fear
when the lights go down

and I still feel you looking over my shoulder
your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare
and I know none of us will survive
cause I know everything

and my dear I need you to move a little faster
the second cast is the rest of your life
your final word and an itchy finger
then it's taken away

and we'll be beaten down without mercy or meaning
I turn my face to a careless skyline
I'm searching hard for a sign from heaven
but they've forgotten me here

you can just stop talking I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know its barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only saying please to just let it happen
(let it happen and we'll make it through)
you can just stop talking I get it

sex, fuck and flourescent lighting
a hollow point on an angry bullet
we're on the teeth of a crocadile
we're in the mouth of a gun

and sometimes at night I feel I'm just a broken vessel
an instrument with a darker purpose
I'm at the throat of the young and the helpless
cause they've got nothing to say

you can just stop talking I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know its barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only saying please to just let it happen
(let it happen and we'll make it through)
you can just stop talking I get it

you can just stop talking i get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know its barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only saying please to just let it happen
(let it happen and we'll make it through)
you can just stop talking I get it

She's a pretty girl
She's always falling down
I think I just fell in love with her
But she will never remember, remember

And I can always find her
At the bottom of a plastic cup
Drowning in drunk's insanity
That's all she'll really be good for

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out
Baby, come on
Is there something familiar about me
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out, baby

and she said:
I think we're running out of alcohol
and I hate this fucking town
And all my best friends will be the death for me
'Cause they will never remember, remember

So please take me far away
Before I'm melted to the ground
And all my words get used against me

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out
Baby, come on
Is there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out, baby

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out
Baby, come on
Is there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out
Is there something familiar about me?
Quit crying your eyes out
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out, baby

Turn it up, I never want to go home,
I only want to be part of your breakdown.
She got caught by the fall on the floor,
It picked her up and she’ll never get let down.
And now I can’t, stop, thinking about it,
All you people at the top don’t know nothing about it.
We don’t give a fuck what the price is,
So just leave us to our own devices,
And we’ll leave you alone.

I’ll be there when you heart stops beating,
I’ll be there when your last breaths taken away.
In the dark when there’s no one listening,
In the times when we both get carried away.
When we both get carried away.

She says it all without a thought in her head,
She says it all, and she’s pressed up against me.
A little something just to take off the edge,
A little more and I’ll fall off the planet entirely.

I’ll be there when you heart stops beating,
I’ll be there when your last breaths taken away.
In the dark when there’s no one listening,
In the times when we both get carried away.
When we both get carried away.

I’ll be there when your heart stops beating,
I’ll be there when your last breaths taken away,
In the dark when there’s no one listening.
In the times when we both get carried away.
When we both get carried away.
When we both get carried away.
(I’ll be there when your heart stops beating.)
When we both get carried away.
(In the dark when there’s no one listening.)
When we both get carried away.

Please sleep my darling sleep
Your cry for inspiration never reaches ears on distant stars
And every night our lonely planet slides across the universe
And I won't pretend I understand

Please sleep my darling sleep
Your death by information
Won't disturb the peace on distant stars
And even when you lock the doors
And slight behind the unlit shades
None of us are strangers anymore

So fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

Please sleep my darling sleep
Your car crash in slow motion
won't upset the pace on distant stars
And one by one the years of our lives
stumble as the moments pass
So please hold on
Please hold on

So fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me with the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

Please sleep my darling sleep

. . .


Love, this is getting harder
And I can't seem to pick you out of the crowd
But you my dear have been discovered a liar (A liar)
And I'm afraid that this is building up far too long (Far too long)

And this is not the time or place for us to speak like this
(Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it)
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water
In a different time or place the words could make more sense
(In a perfect world the future wouldn't make a dent)
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water
Even though it's the last time

Love, this is getting the best of me
And truth be told you were the start of it all
Now you, my dear might end up lonely (Lonely)
Before you go there's something you should know (You should know)

And this is not the time or place for us to speak like this
(Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it)
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water
In a different time or place the words could make more sense
(In a perfect world the future wouldn't make a dent)
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water
Even though it's the last time

This is not the time or place for us to speak like this
(Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it)
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water
In a different time or place the words could make more sense
(In a perfect world the future wouldn't make a dent)
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water

Please, let's not speak
Don't breathe a word
Even though it's the last time

Please, let's not speak
Don't breathe a word
Even though it's the last time

. . .


The place I used to live, made me feel like a tourist
I couldn't coexist with the cold and suspicious
When the last remaining light was starting to filter
It seemed the perfect time to step into the future

Your heart is a grave to be perfectly honest
Your mouth's a smoking gun
And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach
Until everything is gone
Take all you can from me
I've got weak constitution
I'm led so easily
So easily

I left it all behind, in the dead of last winter
I left it all behind, but the question still lingers
So long forgotten friends, no, you don't know the difference
Between love and submission, and I'm not that obedient

Your heart is a grave, to be perfectly honest
Your mouth's a smoking gun
And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach
Until everything is gone
Take all you can from me
I've got weak constitution
I'm led so easily
So easily

And she's trying to sleep it off
With her head on my shoulder
And I'm trying to keep it out
Of my thoughts when I hold her (Take all you can from me)
And I'm trying to sleep it off
With her head on my shoulder (I'm led so easily)
And I'm trying to figure out
Of my thoughts when I hold her

Your heart is a grave, to be perfectly honest
Your mouth's a smoking gun
And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach
Until everything is gone
Take all you can from me
I've got weak constitution
I'm led so easily
So easily

Silly girl, I think i've got a thing for you
From late nights, when driving in that stolen car
The used and wasted, living in this desert town
Haven't broken us so far

Hot afternoons, we climb on-to the neighbours house
Breathed deap and jumped into a waiting sky
Our bare feet were framed on the horizon
I felt the future in your eyes

It was the promise of summer
We'll seal it with a kiss
This time i'll do things proper
How did it get to this?

Dear you, tonight let's get ahead of ourselves
'Cos now i barely can remember
Yesterday, stretched on for so long
Tomorrow feels life forever

My god, you know how much i needed this
These days are filled with such disaster
Sometimes i think that life will never be the same
Sometimes i think that's the answer

And she said

Here comes the promise of summer
Let's seal it with a kiss
This time i'll do things proper
How did we get to this?

Here comes the promise of summer
Let's seal it with a kiss
This time i'll do things proper
How did we get to this?

Here comes the promise of summer
Let's seal it with a kiss
This time i'll do things proper
How did we get to this?

Here comes the promise of summer
Let's seal it with a kiss
This time i'll do things proper
How did we get to this?

Here comes the promise of summer

Let's seal it with a kiss

(Let's seal it with a kiss)

(Let's seal it with a kiss)

Here comes the promise of summer

(How did it get to this?)

So you think you've been through it all?
But I can't help but wonder now
Yesterday I found my worst regret
I'll hide it away so no one ever knows
I'm dying, I'm trying to leave

Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on
Every now and then I feel the end of us

I never meant to say I'm sorry
And I'm not sad to see you go
Where human shapes burned on concrete walls
These days the sun don't shine here anymore
(I find it cold and lonely)
I'm dying
(To see your troubles drowning)
(It's such a shame to feel you drifting)
I'm trying to leave

Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on
Every now and then I feel the end of us
I love the way you bleed inside my head
Something's gotta change, I'm barely holding on

Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on
Every now and then I feel the end of us
I love the way you bleed inside my head
Something's gotta change, I'm barely holding on

Let me slip away I'm barely holding on (I find it cold and lonely, to see your toubles drowning)
Every now and then I feel the end of us (It's such a shame to feel you drifting)
I love the way you bleed inside my head (I find it cold and lonely, to see your toubles drowning)
Something's gotta change, I'm barely holding on (It's such a shame to feel you drifting)

I'm barely holding on
I'm barely holding on

. . .


Please understand
This isn't just goodbye
This is I can't stand you
This is where the road crashed into the ocean
It rises all around me
And now we're barely breathing
A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore

Curse my enemies forever
Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful
This desperation leaves me overjoyed
With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy

I listen to you cry
A cry for less attention
But both my hands are tied
And I'm pushed into the deep end
I listen to you talk but talk is cheap
And my mouth is filled with blood
From trying not to speak
So search for an excuse
And someone to believe you
In foreign dressing rooms
I'm empty with the need to

Curse my enemies forever
Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful
This desperation leaves me overjoyed
With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy

Curse my enemies forever
Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful
This desperation is leaving me overjoyed
With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy

Please understand

Lay rotting where I fall
I'm dead from bad intentions
Suffocated and embalmed
And now all our dreams are cashed in
You swore you wouldn't lose then lost your brain
You make a sound that feels like pain

So please understand
This isn't just goodbye
This is I can't stand you

. . .


The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the sun shining in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the freeway

The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear with your voice ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you, you're always so far away

The first time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the smoke getting in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the DJ

The first time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear with the noise ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you, you're always so far away

I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while

The next time I see you, you'll turn away
I'll say "Hello" but you'll keep on walking
The next time you see me, I'll turn away
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you, you're always so far away

I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while

I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while

. . .


and my hear hands from this noose
like your footsteps in crowded rooms
filled with sweet scents of autumn blooms
is this what you imagine?

catch a glimpse from her empty stare
hidden eyes behind her auburn hair
catch my breath for the smoke to clear
and it's just as it should be

my best-laid plans will build and break your heart
her guilty hands tear my whole world apart
my mind keeps racing
she's softly dreaming
i'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening

and we'll wake up in vacant rooms
pull you close to my aching skin
broken glass on the porcelain
is this what you imagine?

we'll forget what we used to say
and our lives won't mean anything
pull me close as i drift away
and it's just as it should be


my best-laid plans will build and break your heart
her guilty hands tear my whole world apart
my mind keeps racing
she's softly dreaming
i'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening

and we'll both take our revenge
but we still won't feel any better
and we both take our revenge
but we still don't feel any better

i'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening to
me at all
