Danger! (Exaggeration)

Don't stray
Stay inside
There's too much shit in the air to breathe
Stay inside
Away from the UV rays
They cripple your skin
Don't drink the water
Poison to your veins
Don't eat the food
Early coffin
Don't think for yourself
I know best
Listen to me
I don't know you
Listen to me
I know best
Don't choose for yourself
Who knows what could happen
If you had freedom?
Who knows what could happen
If you lived a life
Live this lie
It's better
I know
It's the best
I don't know you
Listen to me

Apology

It breaks my heart
(To know)
She wouldn't care
(No)
She'd never know
(I'm gone)

If I were to die today
What would my
Last words be?
(An apology)

I'm sorry
(To have never met you)
I'm sorry
(To have never loved you)
I'm sorry
(To have never held you)
I'm sorry
(Sorry)

If I could still write
I'd write to her
(My one)
My only
Somewhere
(Somewhere)
Out there

I hope she's not waiting
I hope she's still breathing

But maybe it's better
(This way)
To have never loved
To have never lost
(Maybe it's better)
If we don't know
Each other's faces
(Faces)
We can keep
Dreaming

If I were to die
(Today)
My last words
Would be

I'm sorry
(To have never met you)
I'm sorry
(To have never loved you)
I'm sorry
(To have never held you)
I'm sorry
(Sorry)

From my heart
To hers
(Find a way)
To touch her
To tell her

I'm sorry
To have never
(Known you)

Promise

Can you promise me?
(Everything will be all right)
(Everything will be all right)
Don't lie to me
(Lie to me)
Don't lie to me
(Lie to me)
Can you promise me?
(Everything will be all right)
Everything will be all right

Would you know if I told you?
The pain...

Main Street

Main Street
A perfect picture
(Of beauty)
Main Street
Where everyone
(Gets along)
Main Street
Where peace and
(Harmony exist)
Main Street
What a lie
(We buy)

[(Give me the Main Street)]
With graffiti on the walls
[(Give me the Main Street)]
With broken, bloody sidewalks
[(Give me the Main Street)]
Where strangers sell the sins
[(Give me the Main Street)]
That's swallowed by the night

[There's no such thing]
As perfect harmony
[We only want]
What looks like the best
[The lies we buy]
The lies we swallow

(Our)
Bright
(Neon)
Lights

Can't
Shine
(For)
E
[Ver]

A false memory
[We won't (remember)]

[(Give me the Main Street)]
With graffiti on the walls
[(Give me the Main Street)]
With broken, bloody sidewalks
[(Give me the Main Street)]
Where strangers sell the sins
[(Give me the Main Street)]
That's swallowed by the night

We want to believe
We'd like to think
Everything
(Is alright)
Everything
(Will be okay)

(Our hearts are broken)
(Our dreams are shattered)

Don't lie to me!
Don't tell me
[Everything]
Will be alright!
[We're, not, okay!]

And this is
(Reality)
Where we
[Hate to live]
[On, Main, Street]
It's only a dream

(Give me something real)

Depression is Set on Repeat

It's easy to get depressed
When there's no one
To hold
To talk to
It's so easy to get depressed
When the night is so cold
When you're so alone
I'm calling out
And not even hearing
My own echo
The night swallows it whole
The night swallows me whole
It's the easiest thing
To be depressed
When your dreams are shattered
There's no hope for repair
When your heart's a mess
It's broken
Lost
Confused
Yet still hoping
It's easy to get depressed
When you feel empty inside
When you've lost all meaning
When the words you write
Stop making sense
The ink spills in circles again
It's so easy to get depressed
When you keep dreaming of her
The one you can't have
It's the easiest thing
To get depressed
Your day goes dark
Over the smallest thing
That brings back the haunting memory
Of everything you've lost
Of everything you ever dreamed for
Hope is crippling
Holding out for something to happen
Holding out for eternity
It's only hope
It's nothing
It's the easiest thing
To get depressed

Five Years

Five years from now
Will you know me?
Maybe I'll be famous
Or just another face in the crowd

Five years from now
Will the world end?
Is it our apocalypse?
Blood spilled for black gold
Will we be that desperate?

Five years from now
Will I know me?
Will I be somewhere?
Will I be with someone?
Will I look at this
And know who I was?

Homeless

Ever been alone?
(Ever been afraid?)
Ever been abandoned?
(Ever been alone?)
Have you
Ever seen
(Just)
Sunrise
(Just)
Sunset
Ever been alone?
(Ever been afraid?)
Ever been abandoned?
(Have you)
Ever seen
[Sunrise]
[Sunset]

Could you
Walk a mile
(Just a mile)
In my shoes?
Could we
Walk a mile
In their shoes?

(Can we breathe)
With their lungs?
(Can we see)
With their eyes?
(Can we bleed)
Like everyone (else?)

Tomrrow's a dream
(Just make it to morning)
Today's goodbye
(I hope you wake up)

Wake up

(Don't leave me)

Ever been alone?
(Ever been afraid?)
Ever been abandoned?
(Ever been alone?)
Have you
Ever seen
(Just)
Sunrise
(Just)
Sunset
Ever been alone?
(Ever been afraid?)
Ever been abandoned?
(Have you)
Ever seen
[Sunrise]
[Sunset]

[No home]
(No hope)
[No home]
(No hope)
[No home]
(No hope)
[No sympathy]

Ever been alone?
(They are alone)
Ever been afraid?
(They are afraid)
Ever been abandoned?
(They are abandoned)
[Sunrise]
[Sunset]

(Homeless)
[They are alone]
(Hopeless)
[They are abandoned]
Tomorrow
[They are afraid]
(Make it)
Please make it to morning

(Homeless)

(Hopeless)
[Sunset]
(Tomorrow)
[Abandoned]
I'm afraid

Failure (My Curtain Call)

Really
What was I expecting?
What was I thinking?
What was I hoping for?
I'm nothing more than this...

Such a bitter taste
In my mouth

Who am I
To blame
But myself?
More than this
Who am I?
Who should I
Be?
Where do I go from here?

Such a bitter taste
In my mouth

I don't need
Such a bitter taste
I don't need a past
Bitter regret
I don't need a future
Bitter farewell
I don't need today
Not today
I don't need today
Just a speck in time
I don't need today

Someone save me
Someone save me
I want to scream
But no one
Is
Listening

Someone save me
Someone save me
I
Want
To
Scream

Watch the curtain fall
This is my curtain fall
My certain fall

The story ends
I'm gone

I'm gone...

Hopeless

I'm a sucker for love

I keep reaching
Keep falling for it
Every single time

Feeling sentimental for someone
Who could care less

Yeah, I'm a fool
And no
I'll never be
Her hero

In her eyes
I'm just a shadow

She wouldn't know
She wouldn't care
She wouldn't know
She wouldn't care
She wouldn't know
She wouldn't care
She wouldn't know
She wouldn't care

I hope this fades
Burn away
I don't want this anymore
I don't want this
Feeling
Dragging me down
Pulling me down

Just watching
Just waiting
Just
Killing myself

And no
I could never tell her
Again
And yes
She's moved on
god I hate Myspace...

My Chance in Time

[This can't last]

Time is precious
Time is money
(They say)

[Forever]

Time is temporary
You're wasting my life
(With empty words)

[Let me breathe]
[Let me live]

(I)
Never had the chance to
[Breathe for myself]
(I)
Never had the chance to
[Live for myself]
(I)
Never had the chance to
[Breathe for myself]
(I)
Never had the chance to
[Live for myself]

Let me breathe
(Let me live)

You've wasted your time
(Stop trying to steal mine)
You've had your chance
[This is mine]

A chance
(In time)
My chance
(Mine)

Walking

You wouldn't notice me
Just another guy
Walking the same street
We're both heading to nowhere
It's not like we're blind
We just don't know
Where we're headed yet
We don't want to know
We don't want to leave
But this awkward silence
Should I say something?
No, it's better to just pass by
Keep walking
I don't know you
Not like you notice me
Just keep walking
In silence
Walking to nowhere
In silence

If She Only Knew

I wonder if one day
She would read these words
And realize what I wished
What I wanted
Up until the day
I finally move on from this
(But that's not today)
[Not tomorrow]

I wonder if she would feel anything
(From these words)
They're just ink on paper
[But they mean the world to me]
If she read these words
(Would she care?)
Would she hold onto them,
If only for a moment?
Would she read them,
Through and through?
Would she fly,
On these [broken],
(Ink-stained) wings,
Into a sunset,
I wrote,
(Only meant for her?)

(I wonder...)
If she wandered
The vastness of the internet
Would she stumble upon this?
[My passion]
Inspiration
(My life)
Would she recognize herself
Amongst my broken words?

[I might] (be) pathetic
[I might] (be) poetic
[I might] (just be) a dreamer
[I might] (just be) another

(But I can't help to wonder)
If she ever read these words
Would she find herself
Wrapped in my ink
Spilled just for her?

My Home (Nothing)

This is my home
Where nothing happens

This is where I grew up
Scared of the dark
I breathe to the silence of the streets

This is where nothing happens
The outside world
Doesn't infect me here
It can't reach me
No
Not here
Nothing

I could care less
About
Nothing

The silence is deadly
I choked on unspoken words
Nothing happened
Again

This is my home
Where I bleed the silence

This is where I fell in love
Broke my legs for her
This is where I screamed at the sky
And lost my voice

This is where I dreamed
Where I nightmared
The beginning
And the end

This is my home
Where nothing is precious

I would wish on the stars
But the bright night lights
Hide them from my vision

This is where I threw it away
Where I gave up
Cave in

I wanted something more
Than this
Something better

This is my home
Where I learned to cope
With my darkness

Where nothing happens

Freeway Flashes

Glimpses
Of places
Of people
And their lives
Where do we go from here?
Counting cars
Wondering
Where are we going?
Where are they going?
Feel the miles pile up
Gas is killing me
But I'm still wondering
How's their life?
Is it
Any better than mine?
Wanna trade?
My vision is blocked
By trees
By cement
I get only glimpses
How many lives has it been?
I'm just wondering
Is it any better?

The Melancholy of It All

Playing silent melodies
Marking my pain in pen

(But no)
You wouldn't care
(If I)
Crawled up a hole
And died
(Silently) silently

Thinking of silent memories
I'll erase what I don't want to hear
(But no)
You wouldn't care
(If I)
Crawled up a hole
And died
(Silently) silently

I've learned
(My worth)
It's less than dirt

There's no reason
(To breathe in)
Anymore

I'll die
(Silently) silently
