Everything I
You were, everything I once had The bar on 1st Avenue, we went there solely for you So you can flirt with my best friend Kiss a girl, tell me why you're laughing I won't hold on I can't hold on to this There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months for six long months Well I won't hold on, to this February, Valentines Day Did my best to avoid the red cliches So you dumped me on the subway On my way to work at 9 in the morning Everybody else is holding bouquets Now I'm holding my face in the basement Scratching away for any trace Of affection you will leave Falling victim to the publics prey Well I won't hold on No, I can't hold on I won't hold on to this There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed... There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed Oh, I won't hold on to this. Anyone is suitable for, for you I guess tonight Anyone is suitable for you I guess. You were a phase It's over with You my beautiful You were a phase It's over with you You my beautiful With your beautiful blue and white Your beautiful blue and white |

Days bunch up in weeks, collaborate months against me.
The sheets are stained with evidence that our remains are now, drifting away. I share with complete strangers my most personal of pleasures. I scribble tidbits of useless mind info- trash, treasure. Spend hours, at my leisure, like sharpened precise tweezers. Shifting through in the frame by frame I walk the same path I'll say the same lines I do this every time Do this every time Dodging armpit stench aromatic Wrapped up in my own self-induced stress panic I think I am the only one in this shifting through They'll collaborate in months against me. |

Dilute
The islands small and desolate the highway stretch towards nothingness Weeds infest our front lawn, the picket fence impales the sun that silhouettes on our houses dressed up in luminesce And the softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer I will pretend that you won't be gone Distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites And I will pretend that you wont be gone Distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites this song The islands small and desolate the highway stretch towards nothingness Weeds infest our front lawn, the picket fence impales the sun that silhouettes on our houses dressed up in luminesce And the softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer I will pretend that you won't be gone Distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites And I will pretend that you won't be gone Distance dilutes and rewrites this song But I keep asking you to tell me what is wrong, And you, you just tell me that it's nothing at all But in your helplessness I can see, you know I can see The softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer I will pretend that you won't be gone That distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites And I will pretend that you won't be gone That distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites And I will pretend that you won't be gone |

I knew something was wrong just in the way you said 'I'm so sorry'
The story read and I pleaded for you to continue With you in my presence the pictures reassemble themselves Return to the cracked frame on top the television (x2) I'm sorry but I can't see past what other people are thinking (x2) What other people are thinking, other people are thinking Your voice cracked, almost begged for forgiveness Before you even told me, told me With you in my presence the pictures reassemble themselves Return to the cracked frame on top the television (x2) I'm sorry but I can't see past what other people are thinking (x2) What other people are thinking, other people are thinking With you in my presence the pictures reassemble themselves Return to the cracked frame on top the television (x2) Those that are tore to shreds in the moment you were in two dimensions (x2) Just two dimensions I'm filling in the empty spaces where you left your mark You left your mark |

Through a thin layer of rubber and a thick rusted armor of drunken lust
I think when our clothes were on we had a different image of What this was supposed to be My buzz allowed me to slip into you more comfortably Here's what I intended, and here is the truth(x2) The soundtrack to our meeting fills the awkward spaces between our strained breathing And the only thing between, between the two of us, is your blood and our sweat I can taste the cigarettes on your tongue while exchanging spit Here's what I intended, and here is the truth(x2) Here is the truth (x6) Now disguise this whining with melody, and I hope that it leaves, leaves you intrigued And I hope you feel, you feel what I did at the time that this was conceived Well, the silence is pleasing, between our strained breathing, now it's over with This is not what I intended |

Are you not the slightest bit confused?
Just the truth The speed at which we move blends so well It's too soon Separate yourself from what compels you to relinquish us Push your way on to me entirely Stay away from me, stay away from me now Unless you gonna see, unless you gonna see me out No, I can't dance unless it's slow or sad To a song that's far less obvious You're using me, do it slowly Make it last until I have to go Trust me when I say just a few more weeks Don't move Resist temptation or do as you see fit? Just choose Separate yourself from what compels you to relinquish us Push your way on to me entirely Stay away from me and stay away from me now Unless you gonna see, unless you gonna see me out No, I can't dance unless it's slow or sad To a song that's far less obvious You're using me, do it slowly Make it last until I have to go No, I can't dance unless it's slow or sad To a song that's far less obvious You're using me, do it slowly Make it last until I have to go No, I can't dance unless it's slow or sad To a song that's far less obvious If you're using me do it slowly Make it last until I have to go Stay away from, stay away from Stay away from me Stay away from, stay away from Stay away from me Stay away from, stay away from me |

Maybe it's time to hold onto one side, one decision
Let go of the hand that holds me high above that great divide And beauty is the ease required for you to understand That single frame of animation I think you know I think you know I realise when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie I realize when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie These prints can't lie Possessing all the features I've predetermined to objectify Effortless and rubenesque, yet so perfectly-ly aligned And beauty is the ease required for you to understand That single frame of animation I think you know I think you know I realise when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie I realize when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie Nine or ten songs I had let pass before I had broke that first thought progression And there we were, in the same restaurant grazing legs underneath the table And I will always, always I will watch over you I will always, always I will watch over you Over you, over you I realise when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie I realize when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie These prints can't lie I want you back This means untouched and intact (you always were so critical) I want you back This means untouched and intact (you always were so critical) I want you back This means untouched and intact (you always were so critical) I want you back This means untouched and intact |

Running in and out of breath
Stained skin and teeth too red Incessant slamming in the tongue God forbid I spend one night alone Out to the parking lot Stumbling towards my apartment Pressed you close against the screen door, close enough to feel underneath your clothes You overcompensate for your own inexperience, Don't underestimate, oh my fear of getting caught So many words, so many words So many you can't believe So many words, so many words So many stuck at sea On the second story of your suburban home Mom's asleep just two doors down Funny how when stuck at sea Things are never the way the seem Clouds take the shape of gloves Reaching over the flames at dusk Missing clips in your consciousness Just act as if I don't exist You overcompensate for your own inexperience, Don't underestimate, oh my fear of getting caught. So many words, so many words So many you can't believe So many words, so many words So many stuck at sea Felt the repetition of my way The lack of apprehension That one day So many words, so many words So many you can't believe So many words, so many words So many you can't believe I'll keep burning my fingers In attempt to rekindle the flame The match is too flimsy And the wind just annuls her name So I pull out the garments that will press between us On the dream this evening you refer to in disgust. So many words, so many words So many you can't believe So many words, so many words So many stuck at sea (x3) |

Is this the sound of our demise
Or just the opposite? I love you and I miss you What else is there to say? It takes a hell of a lot more to complete this Far more, far more to recreate Far more, far more, far more, far more Far more, far more than we can take When you decide how much time Do you let, do you let, do you let, do you let Pass before These false starts, these small meals They're for my, for my starving hands Just treading, just treading shallow waters Avoiding the drop, the drop in the ocean floor Far more, far more, far more, far more Far more, far more than we possess How much, how much, how much How much longer, girl How much longer do we need to wait? For a moment when the blare of the tv subsides And then song fills the air, playing every night A change in the key feels like a change in the season I pretend almost every, every other night That this body and its entirety belongs to me, every breath It comes and goes It comes and goes All night Well, you can't dictate the way, the way I'm gonna feel No matter what, no matter what I'm forced to see I'll be the one free of jealousy Well, you can't dictate the way, the way I'm gonna feel No matter what, no matter what I'm forced to see I'll be the one free of jealousy Far more, far more, far more, far more Far more, far more than we can take So well, so well, so well rehearsed I coordinate this kind of mess I'll do it like, do it like, do it like Do it like, do it like, do it like Do it like, do it like, do it like we used to Like we used to do I love you and I miss you What else is there to say? |

Resurrect the evening, brought it back as it filled in
Filled in something missing Something never there to begin You were so distraught Had never been in love Guess you learned your lesson Don't starve a poor boy You could not help yourself from crying The entire night It's painful when you realise your lives are intertwined It's helped me somewhat Well, I'll be yours forever Just tell me when to start There are just a few place That I'll need to stop Some along the way, some in the midst of In the midst of our eternal love And you could not help yourself from crying The entire night It's painful when you realise your lives are intertwined It's helped me somewhat It's helped me somewhat Why lie? The truth's easy to find in time Forgive me of this crime It's alright I swear I'll never, swear I'll never Swear I'll never do this again Why lie? The truth's easy to find in time Forgive me of this crime It's good night I don't even, I don't even I don't even know her name |

Yesterday's dinner's haunting me today
Blades in my stomach spinning I awake with a fear of ?? Hiding by the stress of your love I won't return your calls until it lets up Oh, just one more season, you will be good Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even try, oh 'Cause when I'm concentratin' on makin' statements I will fool you into thinkin' we're fine Yeah, I'll fool you, fool you, fool you, into thinkin' we're fine Until you start to feel something outside Yeah, well, you alone can visualise Not worth the misery A sordid history The years of revelry We converse endlessly Those powdered lips that say you cry You start to feel something outside Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even try It's not me that was mistaken For an earnest, heartfelt evening For a moon-induced hallucination Couldn't help but notice Your eyes are losing focus Such magnetism, now you're opposed But if you're not begging for it Then it's not yours Once dependent, now no signs of withdrawal Not worth the misery A sordid history The years of revelry We converse endlessly Those powdered lips that say you cry Well, you start to feel something outside Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even, don't Please talk softly now No need to scream The raise in decibels seems obsence Please talk softly now No need to scream The raise in decibels seems obsence Tonight, well, tonight You sold everything you've been told I apologise |

Have your lips graced another's yet
Or am I the only one? Everytime I try to speak to you Those are the thoughts that run Say something else, girl I don't want to have to leave Our communication is hardly what it used to be When can I claim you to be my own, so selfishly? When can I claim you to be my own, my only? Want nothing more than our futures to collide Can tell this is going to be one of many disappointing nights Traces of you are so minimal A black and white ?? photobook with us When can I claim you to be my own, so selfishly? When can I claim you to be my own, my only? And I have only one week to make you mine And I may never see you again It's not only for me, it's not only me There's a little bit, a little bit here for you But I'm willing to wait I'm willing to wait Day time is no longer the hours spent Lit by sunlight rather the hours to obsess And the night is far worse 'Cause I know you're alone with her And thoughts of, of us have been deserted It'll never be the same I'll never be the same again I'll never be the same again I have only one week to make you mine And I may never see you again Time is few and far between There is someone else who needs There is someone else who needs your attention But I'm willing to wait I'm willing to wait I'm willing to wait I'm willing to wait |

I'm lacking any discipline
Pulling strings Tapping up your skin with porcelain Stop listening No longer need, oh the sunlight That night we had it will suffice Infatuation is the perfect camouflage Or the temporary place to go I'm lacking any confidence Second-guessing Separate for perspective Is there nothing at all? Now I'll see you for weeks and weeks Judge hastily, no patience I've seen you under every, every sort of light From ideal perfection to the darker side You always were You always were so good to me I need a stimulant something to help reinvent I need a stimulant something to help reinvent Well, I have only one request Wait until I'm gone Wait until I'm gone Wait until I'm gone Wait until I'm gone Is there nothing left? Is there nothing left? Is there nothing at all? Is there nothing left? Is there nothing left? Is there nothing at all? well I need a stimulant something to help reinvent I need, I need, I need I need, I need, I need Well I have only one request You always were You always were so good to me |

Doesn't seem that selfish
No, not in the least. What's so self righteous about this curiosity, This want for a meager exchange? So much time has passed, but still, it remains. This need for you is a recurring theme in my life Don't you think I'm lonely Eager to complete the story Confused and still haunted with why you'd start over Oh, and ignore me It takes time to realize the other side of you That's controlled and blinding on sight of our lives Even if you left me and my brother Even if you left us and our mother. I want nothing more than to catch your eye Would you be impressed with how far I've climbed Without your assistance? With you nowhere in sight? Don't you think I'm lonely Eager to complete the story Confused and still haunted With why you'd start over Oh, and ignore us It takes time to realize the other side of you That's controlled and blinding on sight of our lives Even if you left me and my brother Even if you left us and our mother She's had her share More than we'll know My brother won't, he just won't let go. They say you're sick and there's a name and a phrase To apply and help explain Still having trouble trying to separate How you started a new family Even after you left me and my brother Even after you left us and our mother. |
