How About Life for a TV Show?

[Too much]

[TV]

We're waiting for something
To happen
(Something amazing)
[Take our breath away]
We're just ordinary
(This is reality)

Wishing on shooting stars
(Have you ever found one?)

Wishing on shooting stars
(Have you ever found one?)

Dreaming our lives (away)
[We are alone]
Holding our pillows (tight)
[We are alive]
Crawling in our (skin)
[We are abandoned]
Falling for the
Whispers of the [wind]

Does she dream what I dream?
Does she feel what I feel?

[The lies we buy]
[The lies we swallow]
(Anything) for a little comfort
A little better

[We're flipping through the channels]
Looking for something to watch
We live for the (drama)
We want the [tragedy]

[We keep on dreaming]
Isn't this nice?

Can we live our dreams?
Can I live my dream

Medicate Me

Give me the cure for loneliness
A prescription for panging regrets
Something for haunting memories
Medicate me
Something to pass the time
Something permanent
My life is silent
No voices for miles
I thought I heard an echo
But it's all in my mind
Give me a voice
Medicate me
Something for a heavy heart
It's dragging me down
Give me feathered wings to fly
A prescription for fear
Something to keep the grave away
Something for the pain
Medicate me
Something to fill the void

In a sea of shelves
I'll lose myself
Give me the cure to loneliness
Medicate me

Kill Me Now Regret

I wonder where you are
I wonder what time it is
I wonder who you're with

I wonder if you're happy
I hope you're happy
(It's all I can do)

It's killing me
Eating my insides
Regret is my grave
[Bury me]
(Maybe then I'll feel better)

You're haunting my sleep
After all this time
(Your dream won't fade)

I tore those pictures
Burned my letters
(I thought I) [buried you]

It's killing me
Eating my insides
Regret is my grave
[Bury me]
(Maybe then I'll feel better)

[And I want to scream
Into the night
Calling out your name]

(Bury me)
Bury me

(Bury me)
Bury me

[Maybe then I'll feel better]

It's killing me
Eating my insides
Regret is my grave
[Bury me]
(Maybe then I'll feel better)

Maybe then I'll feel better

Chasing Clocks

Are we chasing our pasts
Hoping to find a future?
Putting off the present
For time spent and
Yet to be had?
Are we living in the wrong moment
Drifting in the wrong era?
Are we chasing the hands of the clock
Hoping someday they will stop
And turn to our will?
Are we trying to control the uncontrollable
One of the few forces
That can't be had?
Are we living on clocks,
Breathing on gears,
And bleeding ticks and tocks?
Are we that broken
That we keep chasing
Our time around the clock
Hoping that this will stop?

Depressing Judgement

Why don't I just die now?
Maybe you'll be happy
I know I'm not perfect
But you insist the impossible
Sometimes
These things can't be helped
You don't know how much it hurts
When I try so hard
Only to fail in your eyes
You don't believe me
You won't believe me
Believe me
If I died now
I'd think you'd be smiling
Why don't I just cut myself
So you can laugh a little
Why don't I just bury myself
I'll go grab a shovel
I hate perfection
I think it's a serial killer
We die trying
Chasing something that doesn't exist
Chasing a dream
Chasing nothing
Maybe when I'm gone
You'll smile
Is that what it takes?
Why don't I just die?

Peace-Seeker

We are your silent unseen
Still bleeding
From your gunshots
And here we stand
Still standing
For something

We just want peace
Standing for peace
Just some peace

Lay down your arms
(Give me your hand)
We'll fade into the sunset

Lay down your arms
(Give me your hand)
We'll fade into the sunset

[Lay] Down (Your) [Life]
[Lay] Down (Your) [Life]
[Lay] Down (Your) [Life]
[Lay] Down (Your) [Life]

I never wanted this war
(Why do we keep fighting?)
Why are we fighting?
[I don't want to die]
(I can't kill him)
[I hate them]
(I think he's retarded)
Why are we in this mess?
(I miss him, so much)
Bring them home
[I can't take anymore]
(Is it over yet?)
Come back
(Come home)
[Bring them back]
I never wanted this
(I don't want to bury him)
[He's not dead!]
He can't be
[I don't believe you!]
Why are we still in this?
(I hate it)
[I hate him!]

Don't die...

Please...

Peace...

Music Wanted

(These words are)
About as musical
(As silence)
Gets
There's no beat
(No melody)
No insane guitar solo
(To keep)
You
(Listening)
Only my silent voice
(Singing)
In your head
(Singing in your head)
Read these words aloud
So I can steal
(Your voice)
I'll sound however
You imagine me
(Are you breathing in sync with me?)
Can you feel
(Our hearts beating?)
Are we breathing still?

(A silent voice)
Singing
(A silent voice)
Wishing
(A silent voice)
Pleading

I need some music...

...Pity...

...please excuse me drowning in self-pity...

I feel like I'm just watching
Watching every breath leave me
Watching life just pass me by
I watched her slip away
I watched everything fall apart
I'm still picking up the pieces
I'm still dropping the pieces
I can't grab a hold of it
It slips through my fingers
I want to go somewhere
Anywhere
But I have nowhere
No one
To hold
Nothing
I'm missing something
I can feel it
The emptiness
But where do I get it?
Where do I get mine?
Maybe it was a mistake
I guess I'm already dead
Someone just bury me

But I can't help but dream about it
Reaching for it
Blinding but I want it
I can't help falling for it
I can't help falling for her
I want it
Life

...sorry about that...

Cage

So go ahead and
Lock me away
In a 3 by 3 foot cell
[Here]
Build me some 7 foot walls
Cast 'em in iron
(So) [I can't escape]

Pad the walls
Pad the floor
[Pad the roof]
(I don't want to)
[Die]

Give me a single window
[To watch out]
To see outside of this
(See the outside)

I'm locked away
And you could care less
[I'm not alive]
Shallow hearts
Sharper words
[It hurts]
(They hurt)

Don't

Don't even speak
I don't want to hear it
Don't even breathe
I never wanted this
Never wanted this

You're silent
Mouthing words
I don't want to hear
But it still hurts
Like knives in my spine

How long did I think
I could keep this masquerade
Up?
I almost thought
It would last
Forever
What a fool I am
How foolish we are
Thinking we can stop time
And treasure a moment

You're leaving
Walking steps
Breath by breath
I never wanted this
Never wanted this

The rose fades
Petals blooming
Thorns intact
Bleeding me
You're bleeding me

Divide

We aren't so broken
Anymore
We've pulled ourselves
Together
But you insist
On tearing us apart
Keep us divided
So we can fall
Alone
(Alone)
Alone
(Alone)
Alone

We are this
You are that
Let's meet up in the end
And see
Who's happier then

I wonder if you're listening
(I wonder if you're listening)

Can you hear us?
(Can you hear us?)

You love it when
We're broken
So easily misplaced
Floating along
With the crowd
You go ahead
And lead us
Over the edge again
Falling for
No one
Falling for
Nothing

I hate it
You love it
(When we're a)[lone]
You love it when you see us
(By ourselves)
[Defenseless]
By ourselves
[Defensless]
(Pick us off)
One by one
Watch the others [fall]

Paranoid Feeling

I got this paranoid feeling (feeling)
Stuck in my head
And I can't seem to get it (to get it)
Out of my head (my head)
I got this [paranoid] feeling (feeling)
Stuck in my head (my head)
And I can't seem to get it [get it]
Out of my head (my head)

I think I'm paranoid
I know I'm paranoid
I think I'm paranoid
I know I'm paranoid

Head keeps turning
Looking over my shoulder
I'm pretty sure
Someone's following
Stalking my stairs
But I'll
Take it step by step (breath by breath)
Dreading the moment
When they make a move
And I'm thinking (helpless)

I think I'm [paranoid]
(I know I'm) [paranoid]
I think I'm [paranoid]
(I know I'm) [paranoid]

Closing every window
(And)Locking all the doors
I know they're out there waiting (waiting)
Waiting for their chance
But they'll never have it (have it)
Have it slip through my hands

I think I'm [paranoid]
(I know I'm) [paranoid]
I think I'm [paranoid]
(I know I'm) [paranoid]

Ink stained fingers
From a broken pen
Play this melody of letters
Try to distract them
Maybe then I can leave
Maybe then I can breathe (easy)
Maybe then I could
(Maybe then I could)
[Maybe then I could]

I got this paranoid feeling (feeling)
Stuck in my head
And I can't seem to get it (to get it)
Out of my head (my head)
I got this [paranoid] feeling (feeling)
Stuck in my head
And I can't seem to get it [get it]
Out of my head (my head)

Still Dreaming After All This Time

There's something I need you to know
(I'm still dreaming)
Hold me close
(Hold me tight)
Hold me until the end of night
(Help me make it to morning)

I'm still dreaming
(Dreaming about you)
Still dreaming
(Trying to hold you)

The taste of your subtle lips
(Eludes my own)
The touch of your skin
(Is just out of reach)
I hate it when scars keep bleeding
(Open wounds)
I hate when it's all downhill
(When the world is against you)

I'm still dreaming
(Dreaming about you)
Still dreaming
(Trying to hold you)

And I saw her face
When I was awake
My body stopped moving
My heartbeat
Raced
For her
Only for her

I'll let you in
On a secret
I'm still dreaming
(Dreaming about you)

I'll let in
On my secret
I'm still trying
(Trying to hold you)

(Hold me close)
(Hold me tight)
Help me make it to morning...

Happy Burning Grave

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?

Congratulations
(I hate you)
Another heart
(Thrown away)
Tally another mark
Keeping score

Another night
(So cold)
I can grab my own
(Frozen breath)
Watch it melt in my hands
And slip through my fingers

Are you happy now?
(You've broken another
Heart!) Happy now?

[Do
You feel it
Burning
Burning inside
Burn you alive]

[Feed the flames
And watch
Everything
Burn
Down]

[Burn
Down
Burn]
(You burn!)
You burn!
(You burn!)

Lies in your eyes
(Oh, your eyes!)
How they stabbed me
(A dozen times)
Through the chest
Killing me

Such hideous beauty
(In your smile)
You'll fake a life
I hope
He breaks you
I hope he breaks you

Are you happy now?
(You've broken another
Heart!) Happy now?

All I have
Is this pen
And your
Slow demise
(Sealed in ink)
I'll ready your coffin
Dirt for your grave
Bury another heart

What's the score now?
[Burn!] (Happy now?)
Are you happy now?

No Sense of Direction

It's a lie
But I hold my prayer
I'm a runaway
I'm a runaway
It's a lie
But I hold my prayer
I'm a runaway
I'm a runaway

These people just keep staring at me
And you're still on my mind
I want to give it up
Give you up
Throw you away
But I like it
So I'll keep you
Hold you close
Right here

It's a lie
But I hold my prayer
I'm a runaway
I'm a runaway
It's a lie
But I hold my prayer
I'm a runaway
I'm a runaway

In my eyes
These streets were never colder
Than tonight
I don't really want to go
But I don't really care
There's nothing left for me here
I hate it when my
Feet start moving before my mind

I'm a runaway
I'm a runaway

These words make no sense
I write about you tonight
And what I said to you
You think I'm normal
But I know I'm not
Because I love before I lie

Breathing Poison

There is only dirt
Where
You sleep
(Dirt where you sleep)
Hearts were meant
To be broken
(Smash them to pieces)
No one fears
Just
What we breathe
(This isn't happening)
No one fears
The lies
We
Swallow
(Just take it all in)
Take it all in

And you won't say a word
(Take it all in)
Take it all in
They won't say
Anything
But I ain't
Silence

Scream for a hero
(Scream for tomorrow)
Holding on
To fleeting hope
(Faded dreams)
Wear out my lungs
(Breathe)
In
The poison
Feel it
Rush through your veins
Again
