I wanna sit up late at night
and talk about Paramore
and all they're good for
and all the times that you and I
should have been together
I wanna hear your frantic heartbeat
and we'll play guitar and share our scars
and we'll sit back and dream
about lights and stages and screams
but that will never happen
'cause you're still stuck on her
and I'm suffocating
on the burden left from her
in fact I'm sure
we could be like
Hayley & Chad
and bring the love back
to this cold small town
but that'll never happen
if she's around
i wanna play shows together
and we'll cover songs and lead singsongs
and we'll both travel the world
and we'll be far apart
but I'll still feel your heart
I wanna hear you on the radio
and I'll hear my eyes in almost every rhyme
and we'll sit back and laugh at all the times
we clicked and just ignored it
she's got your heart
in a jar on a shelf
and she's not gonna smash it
anytime soon
no matter how hard I try
all there will ever be
is forced optimism
and coulda beens
(all I have left
is the gift of empty giving
the only hand I can hold
is the one letting me go
these jagged cliffs of love & myths
are sending my soul to sea
the only home I have left
is the emptiness within me)

Chemicals

I lost myself among divinity
we do not actually exist for you
all my thoughts are chemicals
all my wisdom is in cells
i am an imbalance
in the empty space between my cells
say hello to seratonin
she's gonna be the death of me
throwing my humanity in the flame
just to make me think i'm happy
what is the molecular compound of passion
what is the chemical makeup of love
why do i know that I am alive
why do my thoughts break down to chemicals
all my pain is in a pill
my flaws are biodegradable
i am an imbalance
in the empty space between my cells
i'd like you to meet lithium
please remember his goddamn name
he's as much of me as my identity
cause he's the one that causes this pain
to scrape cells upon cells to create sentences
impulses firing and cells straining
to assemble a portable spark in you
inside your tangle of bones and sinew
we are all just molecules
all of your pain is in your cells
and inside your atoms is empty space
a gap to flood with chemicals
we do not actually exist for you

I told myself I'd never write another song like this
But forever never sticks to you
the soul of a dreamer
locked in the body of an invalid
your incompetence is the only thing in your way
hiding in the shadows
armed with second guesses
but a broken arrow will fall
regardless of aim
I found a way to drown all these flaws
in the passion I've known for so long
and I'm sorry but you're not my answer
and I'm sorry, but you're not coming with
So leave your demons behind
So maybe I have got some ground to cover
If I've got a mile you've got yourself a mountain
I'm tired of selling you the cracks in my soul
just for you to throw them back in my face
tell me they're too damn
shallow

Death By December
03:56
|

it took a decade to fall in love with you
ten years of angst & theatrics
too busy trying to pin ourselves down
to see the worth in each other's scars
flashback to our dreams
and we're living it
the summer we threw our lives away
but we're gonna change the world
and if I die in the stage light
I'll die glad I took a chance on you
I'm really messed up but I think that you are too
from 19 years of ignoring this
digging up bounties we should have found
before our eyes were filled with these stars
who's sick joke is this
to crash us together
and tear us apart
like waves on the ramparts of teenage hate
again and again until we opened our hearts gates

I don't need the apocalypse
I'm already surrounded by zombies
the walking dead
wearing suits instead
Is it me? Or is this fate just as gruesome
if we leave fast enough
maybe we can outrun the infection
I'd rather eat flesh
than the bullshit you're feeding
quit being distracting and misleading
i'll finally hold my head up
and hope to hell
that I'll never see this town again
keep your head down
these cement towers have us thinking smaller picture
maybe it's not this state
and just this state of mind
either way, we're both well aware
if i could afford the gas I'd be gone
and waving goodbye to this city skyline
with my middle finger out the window
i'll finally blast my stereo
and drive like hell
so I'll never see this town again
keeping our eyes on our meaningless lives
life change this exit
it's about goddamn time

you've cast me as the villain
which is fine
you need someone to take the fall for your mistakes
but you've taken his side
which is fine
but I'm the one that was ripped to pieces
I read a letter to myself one year ago
before he shattered the semblance I was of whole
you don't agree with my decisions
honey, that's why they're mine
be careful with your incisions
because the line blurs suddenly between you and I
i've spent my whole life in sorry
which is fine
but this time I won't take the fall for your flaws
I said I was wrong when I wasn't
which is fine
but I won't eat shit for you
not this time
you're blind in one eye
you see in black and white
i handed him my heart on a platter
dressed, carved and ready for him to devour
i think he'd rather watch it rot
and claim that holes in chests are works of art
I loved him, and he asked me to wait.
I realized you're just as alone as I.
