chances are, the stones you cast will come back around
and when they do they'll scar your heart in the shape of a frown
well i'm sorry for the way i feel and that you don't feel that way anymore
i guess i should take a hint, pack up my things and head for the door
baby, go down, i'll follow you down
a hole in my head, a hole in the ground
who would've thought that the queen would run her mouth?
your crown is starting to fade away and hang like a noose
so pull a little tighter, dear, cut off the air and choke on your lies
or reinvent yourself - a change of pace - it's you i don't recognize
anymore
baby, go down, i'll follow you down
a hole in my head, a hole in the ground
when you go swimming, i'm hoping you'll drown
so hold my hand, we're going down
you put the gun in my hand
baby, go down, i'll follow you down
a hole in my head, a hole in the ground
when you go swimming, i'm hoping you'll drown
so hold my hand, we're going down

i tried to make everyone else happy
but on that mission, i lost my compass
now, i can't find myself
the seasons change and the people don't
all the blame is thrown upon me
don't put your words in my mouth
as if i'd be so lucky as to have things go my way
we can't have that
how long will i last?
a ho-hum day in paradise seems
pretty good compare to this life
all i have to do is close my eyes
up in my head, i'm by myself
no fear or pressure or thoughts that dwell
why can't life be care-free?
as if i'd be so lucky as to have things go my way
we can't have that
how long will i last?
the years go by like seconds flashing
before you know it, your whole life passes
no, you don't get a second shot
so make the best of what you're given
if there's a god up there, he must be laughing
we are such nervous things
as if i'd be so lucky as to have things go my way
we can't have that
how long will i last?

i've started a fire
just to watch the riots as the world burns down
i've got it all figured out
i can hide away up here in the clouds
take it all away
i'll take you all the way
somewhere far away
a storm is coming, you say
i've started a fire
and i can't douse the flames
i have you all figured out
you feign your wreckage behind mascara lines
take it all away
"here comes the flood", you say
somewhere far away
"here comes the flood", you say
the sky cracks a smile as i ascend to a higher plane
the walls you've built will crumble
ideas and words are all that remain
(here comes the flood)
well he walks with his crown of thorns
looks away from her seven snake eyes
wanders to places he's been long before
rots away so others can fly
he says, "i don't know if they're worth my time"
"i don't believe i can save this kind"
"but i won't know until i die"
his heart now is filled with scorn
friends won't look him in the eye
"the only certainty", he says, is that you were born
"and like all men, you too will die"
he says, "i don't know if they're worth my time"
"i don't believe i can save this kind"
"but i won't know until i die"
"hung up on a cross, left to die"
take it all away
i'll take you all the way
somewhere far away
"here comes the flood", you say

i wanted friends so i tapped my heels together
still, i had none
i wondered when my time begins
has it already come?
meet me by the lake tonight, around 8 or 9
together we go down
and if you change your mind, we could swim ashore
covered in sand, wring our clothes out
we'll see the sunset, our bodies still wet
laying on cool ground
don't know where we'll go next
but that's not important
all that matters is now
and i swear that we could fly
if we'd only try
would you try with me?
we'll walk for miles until our feet bleed
until the sun comes up
the stars will guide the way
though they're so far away
i wonder where we'll end up?
and would you follow me thru this life
i could use somebody on my side
and if you change your mind, we could turn around
i've walked this road alone before
and i swear that we could fly
if we'd only try
would you try with me?
i might kick some rocks as i walk past
familiar haunts
don't know where i'll go then
it won't be heaven
without you, this'll be hell
and i swear that we could fly
if we'd only try
would you try with me?

my oldest friend, what do you see
as you look over at me?
do you see the plans we laid
centuries ago?
at a time when time was nothing,
we had miles left to go
so where did i go wrong?
all that i want is more than i can have
my love, what will this mean
ten years from now?
will you be a light in the dark
or just another ghost?
a castle is a lonely place
to lay your head at night
my dreams, a prison for my heart, now
all that i want is more than i can have
all that you are is more than i am
all that i want is more than i can have
so where did i go wrong?
my oldest friend, what do you see
as you look over at me?
when i look to you, all i see
is a memory

one day you will wake up and be glad you did
and i'll be right beside you, like i always was
now that we're not the same kids
who built these mountains between us
you don't want him and
you never did
all he wanted was to get
as far away from here as possible
with you
one day you will notice your frown beginning to fade
washed off of your face by autumn rain
we'll look up at the stars and see such different things
i'll see your face, but you won't see me
i'll be lost in the rain
you don't want him and
you never did
all he wanted was to get
as far away from here as possible
with you
one day you will wake up and be glad you did
and i'll be waiting for you to crawl back into bed

it's a long life without any others, with the whipping wind at your back
dust has collected on my covers, i've been waiting for you to come back
i've been reckless, i haven't been sleeping
cause it hurts to see you in my dreams
and the distance i feel isn't measured in miles
it's measured in memories
we keep in contact but what's the motive?
what's the answer you seek?
and i have questions for every hour of the day but
you never answer me
it's easy to move on if you never stopped to look around in the first place
but i am stunted, staring at your footprints
wishing you would've stopped with me
since there's nothing left for me to say
i think that i should be on my way
but the exits are never flawless
more an entrance to lonely nights
though the moon's high, and the stars are shining thru clouds
i'm alone here in this field for the rest of my life
and if you come back, we could start it over
get married one day, settle down
with the white fence, a 9-5 gig
find the love that was never around
and since there's nothing left for me to say
i think it's better we go away
the distance that i feel isn't measured in miles
it's measured in memories
i believe there's love to be found
i believe in love
the moon's high, the stars are staring at me
we're laying in a field side by side
i tried to reach you but you were miles from me
you were already lost in my eyes
so that night i lost my shot at the moon
cause i was chasing stars
though you were only a few feet over
you had never been so far away

the best time to plant a seed was yesterday
the next best, well that's today
i've tried for weeks now, i can't read your mind
does it make you laugh when you want to cry?
i'll smile politely as you go on your way
return to unrequited love and self-loathing
well this could be the day i turn things around
if i could pull my head out of the ground
oh, does it sting to be alone again
and oh, when i sing
i sing to no one, to nobody
i'm nobody
when it rains, it pours, clouds loom over head
out here in nowhere, the moon's my only friend
but i'll find someone new to pull me off this ledge
i can almost see her face there thru the mist
oh, does it sting to be alone again
and oh, when i sing
i sing to no one, to nobody
i'm nobody
can you hear me calling? i'm calling out your name
i've hid it here between the lines, if you've been listening
can you hear me calling? i'm screaming out your name
i hope i never get over the way it tastes
and oh, does it sting to be alone again
and oh, when i sing
i sing to no one, to nobody
i'm nobody

life is a prison, holding you in
i'll never forget those who put me in
into this madhouse, this war slewn place
we'll live for a while until it ends in our face
and we'll never be the same
from when we were first put into
this life, i never wanted anything i got
although there are things here i'll never give up
if you don't live for something, then you will find
that you died for nothing
cause you never tried
and all the things we never wanted
will always mean the most
when you lose your focus
your dreams don't seem so close
but if you reach for them
and fall from your place
at least you'll fall knowing
you tried to escape
from all your dark misery
you stayed with me until today
to endure the symptoms, the sickness so clear
and in my decision, the end is near
some may be broken, some disturbed
but all i want is someone like her
some things are broken, some fall apart
but on the horizon, i see the start
of all i have wanted out of this life
i'll hold on to it until i die
some things remembered
some disappear
some people change while the rest,
they stay near
i gave up on you but not on myself
life is a prison, thru the bars i yell
|
||||
14. |
||||
sleight of hand and a twist of fate
you've got a kiss with a bitter taste
i don't want love, you must be confused
i don't want anything to do with you
cause things fall apart
do the dance, run the rat race
bite your tongue before you step out of place
you'll never find what you're looking for
so just settle for what's in store
i don't want to run, you must be confused
cause things fall apart and i disappear
|
||||
15. |
||||
it was always you who could rip me apart at the seams,
my dear, i knew from the start
that in seeking love from a loveless place, i was only asking you to change
or take my place
amid the star-crossed lovers, maybe i will find
what they see in each other that we can't seem to find
there's never enough time
well i wrote you letters, i wrote you poems
they were in a different language, a code
and at least i've had the fourtune of meeting you here
of colliding with the sun
i've had enough
amid the star-crossed lovers, maybe i will find
what they see in each other that we can't seem to find
there's never enough time
amid the star-crossed lovers, maybe i will find
what they see in each other that we can't seem to find
there's never enough time
