You're all I want, I see you slipping through my fingers
You're all I see. Lungs start bleeding as the broken glass gives way under your mind. I won't explain this thought again, speaking listlessly I fell into your lies. Won't entertain that word again because you know we're both just so hard-done-by.
Something died today.
It's all a bore. I killed me to leave 'coz I can't take it anymore.
I'm not ashamed. Don't lie to my face. It's not your war.
It's how you deal so choke it all down, it's nothing.
So what's it gonna be? Skeezy meth-heads foil your methods, leave you puking in the cold. I won't explain you're wrong again, living aimlessly I fell into your lie. Won't entertain that word again, 'coz you think love is so easy to come by.
Something died today.
It's all a bore. I killed me to leave 'coz I can't take it anymore.
I'm not ashamed. Don't lie to my face. It's not your war.
You push and you shove, you tell me to go. But I don't know.
I don't know.
It's all a bore. I killed me to leave 'coz I can't take it anymore.
You're all insane. Get out of my face. It's not your war.

There's this girl asleep inside despite countless times she's tried to fall in love with life. Webs entwine and cycles rise, this butterfly of lies is messing with her dash lights. Don't tell me it's alright that you can't find some peace inside of you. Some hope to pull you through.
But you tried. You fell so close. This meant the most. Your pretty pose thinks no one knows.
Promises erode in time but someone told her they were lies and burnt out all her dash lights. Now her solace is defined when her body is the tide and his fingers are the moonlight.
Because you choked. You fell so close. This meant the most. Your pretty pose thinks no one knows. Everyone knows.
But I feel it, and I refuse to believe it but there'll be no more doubt from the second they see it. They broke all your beauty, enslaved your ideas and those lies tore a hole in the fabric of your being but you mustn't believe that these lies are true. Don't believe for a second that he's better than you because I love every thought in that pretty little head, a love that won't even stop when I'm dead.

It's not your day, that's fine with me. I dragged you down here 'coz there's something you should see. I don't know why you're just in time for me to leave. You say that you're the lucky one, I'll never understand why you chose me to love in your world as we're falling behind what is real. There's no need to hide from the truth as the rain falls inside our room.
It's not my day but I don't care. I dragged you down here 'coz there's something that we share. I don't know why you're just in time for me to leave. You say that you're the lucky one, I'll never understand why you chose me to love in your world as we're falling behind what is real. There's no need to hide from the truth as the rain falls inside our room.
When it's done we accept it, no loss or rejection. It's still a step forward -- no matter the direction. Because nothing in this life is either blessing or curse, it all depends on which you choose to pay respect to first. So here's the one condition that I'm going to leave: You Had Better Fucking Smile when you remember me. I'll do nothing but glow when I remember you and think about all of the things we used to wake up and do. We… will.. you and I, we'll be fine.

I see the knife is in my hands but there's nothing left to carve, the clay has dried and crumbled from the heat of life's demands. She said "no" but you said "yes" and I can't feel a thing below my neck. You know there's so much more to it.
So I'll fight for you until we're made. We'll fall so hard, they'll lock us both away. When my time has played I swear to god I'll find you from my grave.
Now my heart is in your hands and there's nothing left to prove, put your hands in mine and we'll run away as fast as we can. I said "no" but you said "yes" and I can't feel a thing below my neck. I know there's so much more to it.
