The Used

as we trudge along through the mud
and we tried to call it home
but we weren't alright, not at all
not for one for one for one second

never have been one to write it down
now I think I can
I know I'm stronger now
who's looking south
not me I'm not looking back
i'm done denying the truth to anyone
cause I'm alive

as we trudge along through the mud
and we tried to call it home
but we weren't alright, not at all
not for one for one for one second

you showed me how
you seemed to find a hole
but I just laughed and smiled
begged and rolled my eyes
even cried and
denied the truth to you
just like the truth to me
mostly lied

I'm not going to look back

white it out like glittering wax butterflies

never have been one to write it down
now I think I can
I know I'm stronger now
who's looking south
not me I'm not looking back
i'm done denying the truth to anyone
cause I'm alive

I'm not going to look back

Is it worth it can you even hear me
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I felt it for
a while now
In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old
It's four o' clock
in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more
like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river
drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my
chance to say goodbye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Being half dead wasn't
what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free
So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm
standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand
and pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
And we'll drink and dance
the night away
drink and dance the night away now
So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
savor every moment of this

As long as you're alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there
as long as you're alive
Here i am
I promise I will take you there
And won't you think
I'm pretty When I'm
standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and
pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
savor every moment of this
savor every moment of this

from the way that you acted
to the way that i felt it

and now its sad

you call my name when i wake up
to see things go your way
i'm coughing up my time
each drag's a drop
of blood a grain
a minute of my life
it's all i've got
just to stay down
why the fuck am i still down
i'm hoarding all that's mine
each time i let just one slip by
i'm wasting what is mine
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
you're taking up my time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
you're taking up my time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

I still remember a year ago
the times we spent
I think that I'm happier now
up from the down
by all means
it's strange cause I feel the same way

**I think of what it looks like
I think of what it tastes like**(x2)
same strange
**same strange
said it's strange cause i feel the same**(x2)

makes me ill

still remember what it tastes like
what it felt li

**I think of what it looks like
I think of what it tastes like**(x2)
same strange
**same strange
said it's strange cause i feel the same**(x4)

makes me ill

still remember what it tastes like
what it felt li

**repeat

the cup is not half empty as pescimists say
as far as he's sees nothings left in the cup
a whole cup full of nothing for him to induldge
since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up

a singer, a writer, he's not dreaming now of going nowhere
he gave heed to nothing, and all that he was....
is just a tragedy

so he voyages in circles
succeeds getting nowhere
and submits to the substance
that first got him there

than in violent, frustration he cries out to God or just no one
is there a point to this madness and all that he was....
is just a tragedy

he feels alone
his heart in his hand
he's alone
he feels alone
I feel....

then on that last day he breaks
and he stood tall
and he yelled... and he takes his life

You almost always
pick the best time
to drop the worst lines
You almost made me
cry again this time
Another false alarm
red flashing lights
Well this time
I'm not going to watch myself die
I think I made it a game
to play your game
and let myself cry
Buried myself alive on the inside
So I could shut you out
and let you go away for a long time
I guess it's okay
I puke the day away
I guess it's better you trapped
yourself in your own way
And if you want me back
You're gonna have to ask
I think the chain broke away
And I felt it the day
that I had my own time
I took advantage of myself
and felt fine
But it was worth the night
I caught an early flight
and I made it home
I guess it's okay
I puke the day away
I guess it's better you trapped
yourself in your own way
And if you want me back
You're gonna have to
ask nicer than that
nicer than that

With my foot on your neck
I finally have you
Right where I want you
Right where I want you
Right where I want you
Right where I want you

I guess it's okay
I puke the day away
I guess it's better
you trapped yourself
in your own way
And if you want me back
You're gonna have to
ask nicer than that
nicer than that
And if you want me back
You're gonna have to ask
nicer than that
Nicer Nicer

it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love
it was the best idea I ever had

** today I fell and felt better
just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and sharper
found a box of sharp objects what a beautiful
thing ** (x3)

do you want a song of glory
well I'm fucking screaming at y

And it's all in how you
mix the two
And it starts just
where the light exists
It's a feeling that
you cannot miss
And it burns a hole
Through everyone that feels it
Well you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
Won't come your way
Well you'll never find it
If you're looking for it
Should've done something
but I've dine it enough
By the way your
hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
And you never
would have though in the end
How amazing it feels
just to live again
It's feeling that you cannot miss
It burns a hole through
everyone that feels it
Well you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
Won't come your way
Well you'll never find it
If you're looking for it
Should've said something
but I've said it enough
By the way your
hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
Should've said something
but I've said it enough
By the way my words were faded
Rather waste some time with you

Should've done something
but I've dine it enough
By the way your
hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
Should've said something
but I've said it enough
By the way my words were faded
Rather waste some time with you
Should've done something
but I've dine it enough
By the way your
hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
Should've done something
but I've dine it enough
By the way your
hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you

You took it back
How could you go and do something
like that
My fingernail phase
Worst has got the best of you
I ask you and I know I need to
change
You took it back
You ripped my heart out of my then
you put it back
I'm pulling my hair
I let you just a million times
I love you even though it isn't fair
Run we go around again in circles
Play this game over again
Run we go around again in circles

You took it back
You ripped my heart out of my then
you put it back
I'm pulling my hair
I let you just a million times
I love you even though it isn't fair
Run we go around again in circles
Play this game over again
Run we go around again in circles

Run we go around again in circles
Play this game over again
Run we go around again in
circles circles
Run we go around again in circles
Play this game over again
Run we go around again in
circles circles

look in my eyes
I'm jaded now whatever that means
by sharing these things
I rip my heart out
it's worth my time
whatever that means...
hard to see up
my neck feels stiff until I wake up
the orange i choked
and back to my neck
it's worth my time
whatever that means....so

share with me
cause i need it right now
let me see your insides
or write me off
cause I'd rather stop now
if you won't open up

give it to me
give me all... whatever you want
it's never been me
to want this much from you
I can see
it tears me up

See all those people on the ground Wasting time I try to hold it all inside But just for tonight The top of the world Sitting here wishing The things I've become That something is missing Maybe I... But what do I know And now it seems that I have found Nothing at all I want to hear your voice out loud Slow it down, slow it down Without it all I'm choking on nothing It's clear in my head And I'm screaming for something Knowing nothing is better than knowing at all On my own [x6] Without it all I'm choking on nothing It's clear in my head And I'm screaming for something Knowing nothing is better than knowing at all On my own [x4]

being faced with what
I'm faced with I feel
like i can't rock
like a rock hit my heart
started to chain the day
and exploded into pieces
marry me stay the same
lie to me and try to
say you never will
marry me stay the same
lie to me and try to
say you never
I've got a feeling in
my gut now fills me
with so much hope
said fuck it I'm fine
dine and dashed
the pianist peddled into morning

marry me stay the same
lie to me and try to
say you never will
marry me stay the same
lie to me and try to
say you never
