Argyle Park Album

i am the damage

stillborn dead soul rotting from within

before i kiss and tell i step away
another drug in my blood to prove that you don't understand
how could you see through your stained glass
and say that i'm hating my addiction
don't you put this one on me
i said don't you duck this one
you don't understand

no sympathy
and i don't want to hear one excuse for what's been done to me
cause when i die by myself for my self it's my choice
cause this time i couldn't care less who you would impress
cause now this drug's in my vein i'm trading hatred for pain
and it's no lie to say that you don't understand

you try to stand there and tell me i'm wrong
everyone you touch is dieing from lack of instinct or resolution
when thinking for themselves means to understand

that's where i get my heroin hate

before i plead my case
before we start again
do you know your place?
do you understand who started this?
have you thought this through?
are you prepared and sure of you?
did you think that i care too?
from your gentle heart so pure and true

my sympathies
for you mean nothing
your words mean nothing
cause it means nothing

it's got nothing to do with me
it's got nothing to do with me
i feel it so violently
it's got nothing to do with me

so before i plead my case
before we start again
do you know your place?
do you understand who started this?
have you thought this through?
and who is it you answer to
do you think i still care too?
i'm afraid this one's on you

[No lyrics]

i wished for the best or for death before the worst of it came
i widened my eyes and i watched for where the trouble began
i said to myself that i'd help protect the future from them
and stutter their lies because i could be their fool again

but i don't want to see no more
i don't want to think or hear or speak no more

look inside
see where the pain still lies
forget me
then watch me fall down, down
if what we wanted was the end
then that makes sense now
but what if we had never stood so far apart
i should have know i'll never know

i can take this fracture
i can turn it into strength
i can gnaw between sutures
i can keep this wound forever

talk to me
talk to me
talk to me
through the hours
through the ages
i will sit in judgment of the cowardice i've shown
never falter
never displace blame
i will face myself head on and i will bare the shame

cry tonight
force back the tears and sigh
this advice
is like flowers on a grave
if all we did was play pretend
then that makes sense now
but what if we had never stood so far apart
i should have known i'll never know

it's only lies
that we've lost between us
it's only lies
that we've lost between us
it's only lies
that we've lost between us

is this what you want from me
blind from clarity
sucker for apathy
fails easily
is this what's inside of you
a message far from truth
you're such a follower
i don't want to be

you're falling
you're breaking
you're blaming
the faults on me

close minded century
suspension of disbelief
born from mockery
complete irreverence
is this what's inside of you?
a message far from truth
you're such a follower
i don't want to be

you're falling
they're laughing

all the world is watching
i don't want to be...
like you

is this what's inside of you
a message far from truth
you're such a follower
i don't want to be like you

[No lyrics]

when you break me down again, again
i will hate your indifference
your laughter it cries
when you break me down and again
with that glitch in your eye

when you lie
i want to turn away my eyes
i see your fire burning dim
i have to turn away my eyes
i see your fire burning

godless man
soulless and free
what would it take for me to see
wanting hands take anything they please
trusting them to you is not right

i'm a gutless man
too scared to look outside the lines
what would i be if i could try
goodbye

bitter eyes hate everything they see
trusting them to you is not right

i'm a gutless man
too scared to look outside the lines
what would i be if i could try
goodbye

godless man
soulless and free
what would it take for me to be?
glutton's tongue tastes anything they please
trusting them to you is not right
goodbye

if you run through this world seething i know, i know
i'll see you again
so practice hard and suck it up for the last time
i know you won't laugh so hard when it's your turn to try
cause it's not funny to see her crying

i want to believe you
i want to believe in you
i wanted to need you
but what if i never gave that part of myself away

another year has past you by but still you're not far, so far.
you're not where you should be
you can't afford to listen to your own suggestions
i know you won't laugh so hard when it's your turn to try
cause it's not funny to see her crying

when you cry to some else
they say don't be so hard on yourself
take some time to enjoy the good things
but everything in life is either bought or stolen
bought or stolen
bought or stolen
bought or stolen

don't say your prayers unless you believe that you will try to red eye to
help make them succeed
just remember that i'm the only friend you've got
i know you wont laugh so hard when it's your turn to try
cause it's not funny to see her cry

it's all over (no)
