Said the rain "I'm dry - He'll never know how small he is until he learns to fly on his broken wings. Pays no attention to his filthy words, the sting they bring."
Say the stars "I'm real! There's no difference between the life I give and the things you feel. Don't waste away, the dark is warmer by day."
Don't panic, it's manic - dramatic
Precision incision, the air is sarcastic
These sutures: endearing, misleading. No healing.
This surgeon is thieving and no one believes me...
You reached for so much more that wasn't yours to take. As you move on I feel alone and my heart - it comes undone. What do you want me to say? It's how I feel today.
Says the day "I'm yours! So fuck me harder than you've ever fucked a girl before! Take hold of me, I'll take you farther than you've been"

That pretty face just won't relate, can't make this real. We'll drag it out, no pain - no doubt will change the way I feel. You think you've found me out, I won't admit you're wrong. No, I'll grin and act along. It's a game I play to manifest a song. I'm sorry you were wrong.
Have you found out what it means to find your worth beneath these sheets? Live with yourself 'coz no one else will. In this day and age all we have is our word and yours is shit.
My quick embrace pugnaciates, you smell like fear. We'll drag it out, you'll fib about and come around but I won't be here. I think I've found you out, you won't admit I'm wrong. No, you'll grin and act along. It's a game you play to manifest a song. I'm sorry I was wrong.

Rise Up, Lights!

Born to breed and chained to a stone, chipped off a piece to call my home. However far that stone is thrown, the chain just brings me back alone.
Enter the scamp with burning ears, hucking darts at a map 'coz he's bored to tears. We're sure to laugh when shit gets weird, be sure to laugh...
Believe it's not insane at all. You'll see, we'll stumble while they fall. It's strange... I can't explain the way it tastes, it's almost like there's nothing there at all.
We turn our backs on home today to live a life unchained. It waits for you, it's there for you to take. Rise up, lights! Illuminate so we can always see the way you carry on (with the roar of a thousand flames)
Enter the tramp with greased-up hair, pocket watch on a chain with a long-drawn stare. They'll case the place while you prepare - so beware!
The more you brave, the more you prove, the more these lights shine over you. Welcome the realm of self-assurance, take your place.

So here it comes! It all happened so naturally. The sky opened up and you fell into my lap, actually. I won't ask questions, if there's one thing I've learned it's that I'm just the worm and I'm all yours to burn. Yeah, so what? We've got people to please? We'll just roll down our sleeves while they dirty their knees. This is our time, not their show. And that's my line, but we share everything now. If I could put a bow on one thing for you, it would be the air that I breathe. I hurt to the core when you're down. No tears, no cuts, save the sound of your frown. Superfluous hearts, you mean everything to me -- when one falls down, the rest of us bleed. I'll pick you up, I'll carry you home. You'll never go to bed frustrated, alone. I've carved you in my chest and I call you my own because friends are the family we choose for ourselves.

Everybody runs, everybody hides, tries to cover up the truth but the only reason that I see is the devil inside of you. Everybody runs, everybody hides, tries to cover up the truth but the fact of the matter is the only evil to hide is the devil inside of you. So...
I could tell you something lovely but instead here's something else I have discovered: I can see that you believe that you're not doing anything. Just get your hooks out of my flesh and let me go.
Now I've seen everything that you promised we would be: black & green, on the outside looking in. I've fought it all and I press on, still smiling. Make it or die trying 'til I'm back by your side.
You say it's not the way it seems, then turn around and curl your lip like you can see right through me. You'll always have a hole, and even though you're just a ghost I still call you my own. My heart is blind.
I'll press on through life.
