Marianas Trench Album

First it comes on quiet creeping slow
Clever words and phrases only stain
I remain so lost and buried
Under everything that I need
When all I want is you

I've been here so very long
And every word is calculated
Never questioned or debated
All these practiced poses
I could wreck it if I had to
But I'm the wreck, so what would that do?

My masterpiece will fall apart
It was over before the start

If I burn out and slip away
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful; can I hide in you awhile?
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray

They keep mostly to themselves
Don't make a sound in case they hear you
It only hurts me to be near you
Keep those tired eyes closed careful
Follow my instructions
And I will show you self-destruction

This masterpiece is only mine
Entirely guilty by design

If I burn out and slip away
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful; can I hide in you awhile?
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray (can I hide in you awhile?)

I just can't let it, let it out
Oh, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
Oh, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
Oh, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
Oh, I just can't let it out
If this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful; can I hide in you awhile?
You're beautiful
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
I don't know how it got this way

Don't patronize, I realize I'm losing
And this is my real life
I'm half asleep and I am wide-awake
This habit is always so hard to break
I don't want to be the bad guy
I've been blaming myself
And I think you know why
I'm killing time (I'm killing time)
And time's killing you
Every way that I do

Did you say, “Please, just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Because I want you all to myself”?
I can try and suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else

“Please, just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Because I want you all to myself”?
I can try and suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else

I'm under the gun
Feel like the only one
I just can't decide what I'm running from
This isn't what I wanted
But I can't keep my filthy fucking mouth shut
It's not enough, it's never enough
And I wish I could breathe
Without getting it stuck
Can't focus but
I try it over and over again

Did you say, “Please, just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Because I want you all to myself”?
I can try and suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else

“Please, just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Because I want you all to myself”?
I can try and suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else

“Please, just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Because I want you all to myself”?
I can try and suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like

Did you say, “Please, just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Because I can't stay with someone else”?
I can try and suck it up
I just keep fucking up
Because I want you all to myself

“Please, just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Because I want you all to myself”?
I can try and suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else

So here's another day I'll spend away from you
Another night I'm on another broken avenue
My bag is ripped and worn
Then again, now so am I
Take what you want to take
What you want to take, what you

I miss the stupid things
We go to sleep and then
You wake me up and kick me out of bed at 3 am
Pick up the phone and hear you saying dirty things to me
Do what you want to do
What you want to do, what you

Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me home, I don't want to be alone tonight

And I do want to show you
I will run to you, to you ‘till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
I cross my heart and hope to die
I cross my heart and hope to

Hotels are all the same
You're still away from me
Another day, another dollar that I'll never see
Can I get a piece, a piece, a piece of something good?
I'd like just a little
Like just a little, like just a (just a)

I wonder what you're doing
I wonder if you doubt it (doubt it)
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it (so long)
Now I know where I go
I'm coming back to you
I'll be where I outta be
Where I outta be, where I

Take me with you I start to miss you
Take me home, I don't want to be alone tonight

And I do want to show you
I will run to you, to you ‘till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die

Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me home, I don't want to be alone tonight

And I do want to show you
I will run to you, to you ‘till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die

And I do want to show you (cross my heart)
I will run to you, to you ‘till I (hope to die)
Can't stand on my own anymore (hope to die)
I cross my heart and hope to die

And I do want to show you (cross my heart)
I will run to you, to you ‘till I (hope to die)
Can't stand on my own anymore (hope to die)
I cross my heart and hope to die

And I do want to show you (cross my heart)
I will run to you, to you ‘till I (hope to die)
Can't stand on my own anymore (hope to die)
I cross my heart and hope to die

When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defence
When it's in your spine
Like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want it just to
Be still for a while.

And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

When you're overwhelmed
And you've lost your breath
And the space between the things you know is blurring nonetheless.
When you try to speak
But you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach
But they've never been so loud.

And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

I will stay (right beside...)
Nobody will break you.

Trust in me
Trust in me
Don't pull away

Just trust in me
Trust in me
I'm just trying to keep this together
Because i could do worse and you could do better

When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defence

And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

In the house I grew up in
My room in the basement
The hours turning to years we spent

Remember Chris in the backyard
Laughing so damn hard
And no one knew why
But the rest is forgotten
Behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to
Belong here

Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song that we used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
And I sing along but Acadia is gone

Ran out of gas on the highway
We walked there and I gave
Drunken speeches on sobriety

Now we've all moved away and
Somehow became men
But I remember
Where it began
That's behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to belong here

Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song that we
Used to sing with the words all wrong
I remember the faces and familiar places
And I sing along but Acadia is gone

Remember when 1712 Acadia Road fell
They tore the house down

Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song that we
Used to sing with the words all wrong
I remember the faces and familiar places
And I sing along but Acadia is gone

Remember, behind me
Sometimes it reminds me (Acadia is gone)
Remember, behind me
Sometimes it reminds me (In the house I grew up in)
Remember, behind me (Remember the faces)
Sometimes it reminds me (Somehow we became men)
Remember, behind me
Sometimes it reminds me (We used to belong here)
Acadia is...Acadia is gone

I will softly pull away
In this broken beautiful mess I've made
And in the dead and quiet I will slowly fade
In this masterpiece I made

I'll burn out and slip away
And this just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you and stay here?

Making mostly to themselves
Hush now they'll hurt you till your heart melts
They know you're lonely
And they will only break your heart
And this masterpiece will tear you apart

I'll burn out and slip away
And this just a part I portray
You're beautiful,
Can I hide in you and stay here?

First it comes alive, creeping quiet
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you
And stay here all night?

Well, oh I will pull away
I portray

I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?

Can I have your attention
Ohhh~h.

I just opened my mouth
Is it clear is it loud for you

You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again
Now don't pretty please me
You're not making it easy
To slow me down

No wonder I...
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
And you say, sing sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing new, sing good
God I wish that I could

Are you hearing me now
Ohhhh~h
Hear the sad little sounds as they fall from my mouth

You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again
Now don't pretty please me
You're not making it easy
To slow me down

No wonder I...
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
And you say, sing sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing new, sing good
God I wish that I could

All my indecision
All of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not loving you best
I just need a minute
I just need a breath,
It gets very hard to drink to my continued success

Do I have your attention,
Ohhh~h!

You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again
Now don't pretty please me
You're not making it easy
To slow me down

No wonder I...
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
And you say, sing sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing new, sing good
God I wish that I could

All my indecision
All of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not loving you best

Everyone's around
No words are coming now
And I can't find my breath.
Can we just say the rest with no sound?

And I know this isn't enough,
I still don't measure up
And I'm not prepared;
Sorry is never there when you need it

And I do want you to know
I'll hold you up above everyone
And I do want you to know
I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you

I would

I thought I saw a sign
Somewhere between the lines
But maybe it's me
Maybe I only see what I want

Or I still have your letter
Just got caught between
Someone I just invented
Who I really am and who
I've become

And I do want you to know
I'll hold you up above everyone
And I do want you to know
I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you

Whoaa ohh...

Yeah
Yeah

I would

And now I do want you to know
I'll hold you up above everyone
And I do want you to know
I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you

I'd be good to you
I'd be good to you
I'd be good to you (I'd be so good to you)
I'd be good to you
I'd be good to you
I'd be good to you (I'd be so good to you)

I look around, round, look around and look it over,
I take it up, up take it out and take you nowhere,
trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it and push it until my luck is over.
It never stop stops, never stops well you better,
think it over prima donna you don't want to sever,
all the work to impress, charming girls out of their dresses,
and smiling pretty, well pretty will shallow you forever.

Step one, step two, step three repeat
I pray at the church of asses in the seats, and I disappear
behind the beat
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth

I wonder why, why, I wonder why, why I oughta,
let you wreck, resurrect whatever you want to.
I can't depend in the end you know I thought you were my friend.
Just stop, just stop, just stop I think I got it.
Sorry you, sorry me, sorry every in between,
sorry everybody here will never be somebody clean.
There's a piece of me they're throwing back at us,
and they will buy you and sell you for celebrity status.

Step one, step two, step three repeat
I pray at the church of asses in the seats, and I disappear
behind the beat
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth.

When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth.

Look around, 'round, look around, 'round, look around. (x5)
I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' (x4)

When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth

When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth

Please sing to me,
I can see you open up to breathe.
Fast words make it easier on me,
Make a point to never disappoint you,
Somebodies got to tell me what to do.
Just wish you would've seen me
When it used to come so easy.
I like to say it's easy to stay
But it's not for me,
Cause I'm barely here at all.

Slow down now, the secrets out.
And I swear now everything is perfect.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything until it's perfect again.

Coming down, coming around,
Giving a frown to the sound when I hit ground.
I hate the way that I say I should say
When I know that I don't give a fuck about it anyway.
Shake hands, and shoot smiles all around,
As I sell my body by the pounds.
Sign my name on the dotted line,
It would be fate, to not recessitate.

Slow down now, the secrets out.
And I swear now I'll still make this perfect.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything till it's perfect again.

I think it's better this way,
This is good in a better way.
It's better this way.
I'll make this perfect again.
I'll make this perfect again.

What you want, what you need has been killing me.
And I will change everything you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything, woah yeah.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything, I'll make this perfect again.

This place is a hole
but I don't wanna go
i wish we could stay here forever alone
this time that we waste
but i still love your taste
don't let him take my place
don't just sit there

sometimes I wish you would leave me
whoa I'm not sick of you yet
is that as good as it gets
I'll just hide it
I could slip into you
its so easy to come back into you

I stayed for a while
and waited for words
seen but not heard
and struggled to try
my tongues turnin' black
but I'll take you back
your still the best more or less
I guess
I guess

don't you leave me
whoa I'm not sick of you yet
is that as good as it gets
I'll just hide it oh
I could slip into you
its so easy to come back into you

and it hurts me to say that it hurts me to stay
and it might be all right if you go
it hurts me to say that i want you stay but it might be alright if you go

so leave me
whoa I'm not sick of you yet
is that as good as it gets
I'll just decided whoa i could slip into you its so easy to come...
back into you

sometimes i think that the bitter in you and the quitter in me is the bitter in you and quitter in me
the bitter in you is the quitter in me is the bitter in me and the quitter in me
the bitter in you and the quitter in me is (yeah)
is better than the both of us

I've got a new disease in me,
I've got a friend that's losing sleep,
I take it hard, it's hard to take, I'm wide awake.
One more confession, discretion's not what I need to sell,
I never needed a reason for keeping secrets from myself and now
That's just how I tell I'm wise-awake
I'll wreck this if I have to tell me what good would
That do I'll wreck this if I have to

You get separated, somebody's gone,
And I don't know how this is wrong,
I'm so frustrated, falling behind,
You were a friend of mine.
I'd be so good to you,
Because they don't know you like I do

There's a difference from me to them,
And the road home is paved in star fuckers requiem,
I can never go, go back home again,
Acadia is gone

All my indecision, all of my excess,
Don't you ever tell me I'm not loving you best,
I just need a minute, I just need a breath,
It gets very hard to drink to my continued success
Slow down, it's better in the worst way,
It's getting better in the worst way

So here's another day, I'll spend away from you,
Another night I'm on another broken avenue,
Trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push until my luck is over I wonder
What you're doing, I wonder if you doubt it.
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it.
All the work to impress, charming girls out
Of their dresses and smiling pretty
I'm right beside you, what you want what you need,
I'll make this perfect again.
If I burn out and slip away, you're beautiful, you are

I've been here so very long and I could slip into you,
It's so easy to come back into you,
I'll hide it, could I hide in you awhile.
I'm not sick of you yet, is that as good as it gets.
I never took you for a trip but sometimes
I don't know what you want, I could take it
If you need to take this out on someone.
If this is just a part I portray,
I don't know how it got this way
