You drew the line so I could see You filled the mind so I could dream But it means nothing, nothing for me Is a lonely soul all I will be? These marks, they are not what they seem Just full of lies that I believed I treaded down your path But now I’m trapped within the shrubs Right by an open flame That burns a light from up above I feel the boil of the third degree And the bruises from my broken dreams I see you looking down Your vacant stare inside the hollow trees You drew the line so I could see You filled the mind so I could dream But it means nothing, nothing for me Is a lonely soul all I will be? These marks, they are not what they seem Just full of lies that I believed And with a look so delicate You looked right through me To save the dirt below the flood You said you’d never leave You drew the line so I could see You filled the mind so I could dream But it means nothing, nothing for me Is a lonely soul all I will be? These marks, they are not what they seem Just full of lies that I believed

How do you lie? (Please tell me now) Choking it tighter with your tongue Tugging my coat around her waist Feeding me never ever ending phrase And after all that was said, it’s the ashes that sung I’m just a boy standing in front of a girl who longs To hear all those little things Like the famous last words from Knotting Hill please Leave it to chance Give it a rest You’re killing the dance Let’s leave it to chance Maybe a bad idea I don’t see it working out best We have, we’ve been the best of friends Why, oh why can’t we just play pretend Only one night, only a night No nevermind And after all that was said, it’s the ashes that sung I’m just a boy standing in front of a girl who longs To hear all those little things Let me hear those famous last words from Knotting Hill please Leave it to chance Give it a rest You’re killing the dance Let’s leave it to chance Maybe a bad idea I don’t see it working out best We have, we’ve been the best of friends Why, oh why can’t we just play pretend Only one night, only a night No nevermind

If you could only see What you’ve seen with your eyes You would know how to feel From the glow of the lights It’s the smoldering heat That has messed with your mind Just a smothering look Across the net and the lines With the throw of the ball And a hit of the pad It’s the sound of its voice That has driven you mad And every bounce off the board Is something more than you think With a break from the hit That will make you sink Thoughts lie, all in memory of you Sights will hide, in artificial view And all our hopes have gone away It’s the touch of your skin And your beautiful stare With an inebriant smile That has made me swear I will make you dance Across this wooden floor Jumping side to side Simply begging for more It’s your excessive moves That forced me to wait And the swing of your arms I had to take the bait It was the tap of your feet To the jagged beat Your pulse a delicate sin That made it all too sweet Thoughts lie, all in memory of you Sights will hide, in artificial view And all our hopes have gone away The fault is always what we blame The rules are always what we change Thoughts lie, all in memory of you Sights will hide, in artificial view And all our hopes have gone away

When you call all the dial tone gets is a silence you can’t ignore But the cable’s still in the wall the mail’s not been sorted since fall Can’t you see the carpet ‘s collecting dust (yeah, your carpet’s collecting dust) By the way, the car is leaking fluid in the drive There’s no blue below this place tonight (Feel the sun on my face) Bury me down in a space where regret won’t hide (The grass itches, there is no blue I can’t go up, only down to you) (Feel the sun on my head, and I’ll know you found my bed) It’s so dark in here, I swear I must’ve never loved you enough But it’s too late (it’s too late) Cus I can not make a sound Find the directions, grab another shovel, maybe bring a friend Won’t be a trouble, hopefully it’s raining, it’ll soften the sand There’s no blue below this place tonight (Feel the sun on my face) Bury me down in a space where regret won’t hide (The grass itches, there is no blue I can’t go up, only down to you) (Feel the sun on my head, and I’ll know you found my bed) She wants to hold my hand She dares me to say hello All I wanted that day is to be Taken back to Sunday When you could not have bothered It must have been hard when I told your father How could you not have bothered? Now I lay with your mother There’s no grass No more blue There’s no up No more you There’s no sun He won I really did love you

Let me go Do yourself Time is just a number And we’re not getting any younger, so just do it This isn’t what I had planned on When I first told you to just Do yourself a favor And just keep moving Go on & keep moving We had a deal and a plan but even more we're just friends Leaving me to get washed up on golden sand So you wouldn’t have to spend your days Wearing the orange suit on your lonely days Time is just a number And we’re not getting any younger, so just do it Don’t take me by the hand (There's a theme to all you said) I’m gonna do it No more time is wasted (all we say is) (What a perfect day, you said) I’ll get through this On my own again I’m gonna do it Like I was before you (all we say is) I’ll get through it (I’ll get through it) Let’s brush off the grain as we stand Cause we’re not getting any younger And if all goes according to plan I’ll be seeing you somewhere Get me out of this water and get me back onto the sand Lay me on the beach Lend me a hand Help me from the deep end Yelling out your name And I cannot remember the plan You broke our promise You broke our pact You broke our promise You broke our pact You broke our promise You broke our pact Now you left me on the shore With pains going down my back Suits were your favorite things Suits were your favorite things Don’t take me by the hand I’m gonna do it No more time is wasted I’ll get through this Don’t take me by the hand (There's a theme to all you said) I’m gonna do it No more time is wasted (all we say is) (What a perfect day, you said) I’ll get through this On my own again I'm gonna do it Like I was before you I'll get through it You broke our promise You broke our pact You broke our promise You broke our pact We had a deal and a plan but even more we're just friends Leaving me to get washed up on golden sand So you wouldn’t have to spend your days Wearing the orange suit on your lonely days

Oh has it ever flashed before your eyes? (When) dark shadows haunt your sleep I know it’s close I know you’re close Oh has it ever been this close tonight? A rise in body heat My soul it shows A hole it shows Sunlight, and if I stand it may take all of me Strobe light, and if I see a flash what does it mean So long Sole one Oh have you ever laid in idle light And felt it own your dreams I feel its hold I feel your hold You try to break away with all your might But you know it’s all you see And there it goes And there you go Sunlight, and if I stand it may take all of me Strobe light, and if I see a flash what does it mean So long Sole one I can’t break down you’re right in front of me Each sound I know what’s become of me It’s something more than I’ll ever need I know an end is all I’ll ever be No I can’t break down No I won’t break down Sunlight, and if I stand it may take all of me Strobe light, and if I see a flash what does it mean So long Sole one

I’m gonna write another poem about this Gotta leave my mark of experience Don’t mind if I pass on through Cus this is for you Wanna make her say oh Wanna make her say oh no Walking around town never felt so bland Holding my hand Not speaking of forbidden things to do Sam I Am, this is for you Wanna make her say oh Wanna make her say oh in the red-covered snow We’re only human and so it goes Just looking for a place to call our home Cus we’re only shoe-ins Doesn’t mean that it has to show Thinking of old times never felt so bland Talking about the blood-soaked snow Flowing down your hand Wanna make her say oh Wanna make her say oh in the red-covered snow It’s leaping off a mountain It’s speeding way too fast Diving in the depths of what will never last Eating the poison apple Being different from the rest Realizing you’re human and can never be the best Wanna make her say oh Wanna make her say oh in the red-covered snow

Are you ready to go tonight Are you ready to go tonight Back to the Roots tonight Are you ready to go tonight Back to the Roots tonight Are you ready to go tonight Walk our way through the shining lights Are you ready to go tonight Back to the Roots tonight Are you ready to go tonight Back to the Roots tonight Are you ready to go tonight Back to the Roots tonight

It doesn't make sense Cause it'll never ever work You and I, we make two But we just won't do And I dig my toes into the sand Then even deeper inland And every time I hear your name It's always used in vain Shame And it won't go away But someday, we'll grow closer And I'll accept your loving gift All we do is make excuses And mine is time No time, Or I just don't wanna waste mine When I count down My final song comes to a close. Hopefully I'll be closer facing north, Rather than buried in the southern home. Till that day comes, Destruction's what we live in I'm adjusting my ways I'm adjusting my ways When I count down to the end, And my final song comes to a close Hopefully I'll be closer facing north, Rather than buried in the southern home Till that day comes, Destruction's what we live in I'm adjusting my ways So that I have something to eat I'm adjusting my ways I'm adjusting my ways I'm adjusting I'm adjusting my ways [Excerpt from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 71] No longer mourn for me when I am dead; for I love you so That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot If thinking on me then should make you woe O, if, I say, you look upon this verse When I perhaps compounded am with clay Do not so much as my poor name rehearse But let your love even with my life decay Lest the wise world should look into your moan And mock you with me after I am gone If you read this line, remember not The hand that writ it; for I love you so

This reminds me This reminds me Don’t be so naive, easy Up, down, and up again This reminds me, so existence isn’t fair. I expect it to be flawless, but it’s not supposed to be. Little things remind me, or its just dumb luck. Or I think too much. So little. So insignificant. People let us down. Machines let us down. People trick us. Machines don’t unless they’re told to. And I expect too much from those So I change the sequence of events in my life I expect too much. I change my life. It’s just a yellow piece of paper with blue ink. Just paper. Means nothing. It means nothing because of this.

She said she’d never go away Instead, she let it go to waste She said she’d never go away, go away Instead, she let us go to waste You said that once wouldn’t hurt this time Each lovely note left me malign Wondering what you’re dancing for I’ll make it clear whom you’re dancing towards She said she’d never go away Instead, she let it go to waste She said she’d never go away, go away Instead, she let us go to waste (Cus we’re a bleached mess Go ahead and confess It’s a breath you can not suppress Cus we’re a bleached mess Go ahead and confess Inhaling the next) You want to move your body? Well slow dances aren’t exciting With dire looks, so gaudy Well dirty stares aren’t inviting
