Kurt Kerns

Behind closed doors your words ring hollow
What you said they'd be
What behavior? Who are you, but I like it
Now I'm done with nothing new, sometimes green sometimes blue
And I'm guilty, and I'm guilty, and I'm guilty, and I'm guilty
And you're guilty too
Hey Hey Hey I'm guilty and you're guilty too
Hey Hey Hey Hey
I'll tell you something, something new
You're hearing nothing, nothing true
You're killing me, I'm killing you
And I'm guilty too
One two three, I found you out so easily
One two three, I found in you what I found in me
The time is wrong, the time is right--be careful who you kill tonight
And I'm melting, and I'm melting, and I'm melting, and I'm melting
And I'm melting in you
Hey Hey Hey I'm guilty and you're guilty too
Hey Hey Hey Hey
One and one and one makes three
One and one why don't you see
I'm killing you, you're killing me
Can't you set me free
Inside out, I can't describe it, what you do to me
Inside out, I cannot hide it looking right through me
Now I've reached the living end, pointing fingers to defend
And I'm guilty, and I'm guilty, and I'm guilty, and I'm guilty
And you're guilty too
I'll tell you something, something new
You're hearing nothing, nothing true
You're killing me, I'm killing you
And I'm guilty too

I thought I could hear you
Echoing words of denial
Careful not to feel you near me
Clawing out at what you call life
Hold on to what you want, hold on to what you have
Hold on to where you are, hold on to where...
I face the change, I've tasted pain, digging a hole, now take the blame
I fell aside, I cast away, covered in shame, now take the blame
Thought I was beneath you
Crawling in your bed of lies
You infected me with envy
Tiny daggers in my eye
Hold on to what you want, hold on to what you have
Hold on to where you are, hold on to where...
I face the change, I've tasted pain, digging a hole, now take the blame
I fell aside, I cast away, covered in shame, now take the blame
Thought I could believe you selling me your big surprise
Only needing one more victim, tearing down your one disguise
Hold on to what you want, hold on to what you have
Hold on to where you are, hold on to where...
I face the change, I've tasted pain, digging a hole, now take the blame
I fell aside, I cast away, covered in shame, now take the blame

I'm your fear, I'm your monster
What's hiding in your shadow? Is it taking what's left of you
Now take me, now lead me from you
Now take me from the light that's dying in your eye
I'm finding out what's left of you, you're burning out
What's left of you? Choking on doubt, you're choking
Way down way down now what's left of you
See no fear, speak no evil
Are you screaming out to no one as you fall down a mountain of pride
I feel you, my eyes wide open
I feel you, do you think you can save yourself in time
I'm finding out what's left of you, you're burning out
What's left of you? Choking on doubt, you're choking
Way down way down now what's left of you
What you see, what tears into you
Behind the wheel that leads you, are you facing a truth that
Won't die? Now take me, now lead me from you
Now take me from the light that's dying in your eye
I'm finding out what's left of you, I'm finding out what's left of you
You're burning out what's left of you, you're king of doubt,
You're choking, way down, way down now, what's left of you
What's left of you, you're burning out, what's left of you
Choking on doubt, you're choking
Way down, way down now, what's left of you

Looking through your window, a million miles from me
My ears are bleeding from the silence, echoing like rain
I cannot see, leaping from your window, the fall
To set me free. A leap of faith is all I ask. Remove
Myself from all that used to be. Now I'm here
for all to see, everything torn out of me, too
Late to drown in all my doubt. Too much too
Late to sort things out: when the clock is
Ticking. A twisted face I see, my sight is blinded
By the darkness, it doesn't mean a fucking thing
To me, turning from my window. Nothing phases me
I built this perfect little hellhole. It seems to
Be the perfect place for me, now I'm here for
All to see. Everything torn out of me, too late
To drown in all my doubt too much too late to
Sort things out:

I love the thill, I love the scene. Imagine you
in the white light, So beautiful, you watch me bleed
You're stabbing me from inside me now, Kneel down and tell me
about your world, Tell me something that I don't know
You know nothing about the world around you. It's not
enough broken in two, It's not enough speaking the truth
It's not enough watching me bleed, It's not enough
torn in between It's not enough--I'm watching you
distorted view, So beautiful in the white light
It's make believe, all that you see, It's haunting you
from inside now, Kneel down and tell me about your
world, Show me something inside your world, You know
nothing about the world around you--It's not enough
broken in two It's not enough speaking the truth
It's not enough watching me bleed, It's not enough torn in
between, It's not enough--Sometimes in me, you are
the seed, A dying need in the white light.
The simple truth, it speaks to me. It's screaming out
from inside now. Kneel down and tell me about your world
Tell me something that I don't know. You know nothing
about the world around you--It's not enough broken in two,
It's not enough speaking the truth, It's not enough watching
me bleed, It's not enough torn in between
It's not enough broken in two, It's not enough speaking the
truth It's not enough watching me bleed
It's not enough torn in between It's not enough

I live in the bright light, Walking in the dark
midnight, Skin pale from the street light, Kill time
nothing to do, Inside looking outside, Clawing
at the door shut tight, You can't run and you can't hide
White lies fearing the truth
See ghost in the shadow Living in the past feel cold
While trying to remember Time is stealing my youth
Still trapped on the inside Wearing regret skin tight
Like fire on the outside. All gone nothing in view
Time is nothing when you've nothing to do. Don't you
know you can't hide something When it's living in you
I live in bright light Living in the past shut tight
Skin pale from the street light, White lies stealing my
youth. See ghost in the shadow Clawing at the door midnight
You can't run and you can't hide, All gone fearing the truth
Time is nothing when you've nothing to do Don't you know
you can't hide something When it's living in you

In a mirror of you, reflections of you, you're showing what you
Feel like inside, Need the power of two, just me and you
An image that you hold in your mind. Sometimes you're
wrong and then sometimes you're right, You don't expect me
to put up a fight. I'm sick and tired of all of your lies
I'm sick and tired and I'm saying goodbye.
I don't need this poison, I don't need control, I don't need forgiveness
I don't need you--You're a shadow of me
what I used to be. I'm fading as the light dims
outside, I know what you need, because I can
see I'm taking over thoughts in your mind. Sometimes
you're wrong and then sometimes you're right, You're in
the dark so I'll turn on the light. I'm sick and tired
of all your lies. I'm fucking tired and I'm saying goodbye
I don't need this poison, I don't need control
I don't need forgiveness, I don't need you--
I don't need this poison, I don't need control
I don't need forgiveness, I don't need you

I like to live alone, but it's crowded inside sometimes
Look right into a lover's eye. I thought I could fly
but that has been done before. I'm feeling empty.
empty inside. A life I never knew, A room
without a view. My life begins in you.
My life it ends in you. It's like I never never
never never Never been here before
Like to be left alone forever in time, Loved right lived
wrong in another life I thought I could fly but that
has been done before I'm feeling hopeless, hopeless
inside. A life I never knew, A room without a view
My life it ends in you, My life begins in you
It's like I never never never never Never been
here before. It's like a different disease
burning inside of me. It's like a different disease.
Don't deny what's out of your sight. I get drawn
into the light. A life I never knew. A room without a view.
My life it ends in you, My life begins in you
It's like I never never never never Never
been here before

I'd tear my heart out for you, Cross a mountain for you
I'd give myself up for your sin, Open up I'm falling in
What I feel, what I give, take from me what I am
It's the last day of you
I watch the last day of you, A lot has passed I told you
The world surrounding us has gone, The world surrounding us
goes on. What I feel, what I give, take from me what I am
It's the last day of you
Feel my hands upon you, To feel my last touch of you
Feel my breath across your skin, Let go of all you hold within
What I feel, what I give, take from me what I am
It's the last day of you

Step into the light, Illuminating you for all to see
Come into my sight. Empty handed not for me. It's in
your hands, my one demand, No one can tell, the sins
I need to sell. I'm still sipping from your well,
Reflecting back to me, Your perfection in my eye
Hurt me, break me, take me.
Your wanting, your watching, your haunting me.
It's in your mind, no one can find
No one can hear, the words I want to fear
I'm still sipping from your well, Reflecting back to me
Your perfection in my eye, Hurt me, break me, take me
It's all of your light, Shadow lifting falling down to me
Becoming your light, Empty, melting all over you.
It's in your hands, my one demand, No one can
tell, the sins I need to sell, I'm still sipping
from your well, Reflecting back to me
Your perfection in my eye
Hurt me break me fuck me

This is nostalgia
And only the hero
Fights for me and you dear listener
You leave old memories
And such things disgust me
Storm the door, I must get out
Poetry and power
Ice and fire
This is poetry and power
Poetry and power
Ice and fire
This is poetry and power
You're worse than mirrors
Are you reflecting
I don't know
All this help leaves me cold
This is confusing me again
I must get out
Poetry and Power
Ice and Fire
This is poetry and power
Ice and Fire
This is poetry and power
Your poetry is power
Your ice becomes fire
All things disgust you
And you are the listener
A hero dies for me
I must get out
This is poetry and power
Your poetry is power
Your ice becomes fire
This is poetry and power
Your poetry is power
Your ice becomes fire
This is poetry and power
Your poetry is power
Your ice becomes fire
This is poetry and power
This is poetry and power
This is poetry and power
