Splintered piece of glass falls in the seat of gets caught
These broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost In trying so hard to look away from you we followed white lines to the sunset I crash my car everyday the same way Time to let this pass (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time runs through our veins. (it starts and stops and starts and stops again) We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time (to take time to break the cycle) Staring at the setting sun No reason to come back again The twlight world in blue and white The needle and the damage done I dont want to feel this way forever A dead letter marked return to sender The broken watch you gave me turns into a compass It's hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye So push the seats back a little further Roll the windos down and take a breath I can see the headlights coming They paint the world in red and broken glass The spinning hubcaps set the tempo for the music of a broken window When the lights are on and the cameras click We open up the lens to broken glass and it's over in a flash I'll never understand Understanding in a car crash |

With fists raised high in tightened knots
The room explodes and now this blood is on your hands And there is no time for a second chance To paint my face with blood and tears and cover up In an open book that no one reads A misspelled word that no one know You stole the rain Then you turned around and tore my life in two Just like the picture that once hung on the wall in the room that we used to share So fold me up and put me back in the place where you used to keep your heart You think its getting smaller? It's been that way for quite some time now The cadence beats down on the tar It sounds the same as your fists raining down (if you wanted to change the way I look at you...) We've got to leave before the sun sets Or maybe we don't have time(time to waste.) It won't be long until you're gone into the night You won't have time to paint my face with cover |

In this blackout, inertia will hold our thoughts...
And the exit sign offers no light to see by. Can we cast our shadows alone in the dark? I can't see... without you. When the world is crashing down, Part with it, start again. When the world is crashing down, These notes will fold themselves. Standing at the margin's edge... to see where the daybreak ends. You can find compassion here, But the page turns too fast. We fell in this hole that opened up... Giving up on hope, Living without love. We still type black lines... When the world is crashing down, These notes will fold themselves. Adjust the aperture to focus on the negative. Like phosphors in the darkroom ignite, Like dodging faces in the corner of the print, Frame by frame, this hole is opening up... and we fall in. There is no such thing as whole. There is a hole in the world. |

Let's call this the quiet city: Where screams are flet as a wave of stoplights Drive through the the streets as gunshots punctuate the night The sides we take divide us from our faith And the morning dove gets caught in the telephone wire Asleep you set the fire in your own house And the night was a knife that cut And I'm paralyzed Cross out the eyes Blur all the lines Tearing this canvas from the wall We crossed out the eyes Put lines through these cries We pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall A silent dance that we did into this hospital bed Hear voices from another room "It happens all the time" But July in the sand Then the leaves that fall And counting down our days to live.... Drain the blood from this valentine. "We can rise on the wings of the dove See blue skies getting caught in the trail of all this smoke We can rise like candles in the dark your always" and an envelope marked with your new address It was the first time face to face I'm crossing the line Talking to the other side of death Hearing the words that choke memories into flatlines I'm calling your name hoping for something to wash these dreams of you away Our fence was blown down in a winter storm and this field stretched out of this world into the sound of a trace of blood in a love song What can we do to put a stop to the coming white days? I'm hoping the snow will push these dreams of you away |

Now its time to wrap our fears in the night
And on the first day we'll dress this city in flames After all the things you say You hate me for being this way Still you won't let go of old ideals There is no headline to read at night When the record slips and you're not holding the needle We all sing the songs of separation And we watch our lives bleed out through our hands Thats how it was on the first day We saw Paris in Flames I think it's going to rain, rain down Here in this collapsed lung of a borough There is no sunlight The sunlight is manufactured in a windowless room Distant and incoherent Businessmen hang themselves The lower cast side is a jukebox playing the deadman's crescendo The needle is a vector An intersection that well all must cross A dimly lit hallway where shadows of moths decorate the walls Discard this message Burn this city down Discard this message Throw this bottle back in the ocean Rip this page from the history books Smash all the street signs Erase all the maps Forget my name Forget my face Because it's going to rain And it never ends |

Tuesday wakes up silent And there aren't enough pills to sleep And then it cuts out like miswired shortwave radio It's over But nothing can change to ever make it right When you live in a nightmare It's written all over your face. And in a short time You're never the same again The distance is streamlined Between decision and defense: Distorient the senses Loss of identity No one to trust Life runs through this trade I am no killer But I still hide my face In the coming days I wake up every morning From the same dream And then I kill it But you can't change the letters when the ink dries I woke up on the sidewalk and everything just changed Now the lights are blinking but I can't see anything Everything is falling apart: Crumpled paper Crushed tin cans Broken bottles Paper scraps We all look the same We all look the same But I am the killer |

In this room I'm sitting by your side. It rains for hours and the phone is off its hook. Standing on the edge, casting lots to set me up before you knock me down, off the summer's edge and drown me. We're betting on our own lives, making up for all the time we lost. In this house of cards we're all holding hearts and spades (one breath, one step could knock it all down) but you lead with your eyes and you give it away (decide, design to cut from the clouds). When the people you love get lost in the shuffle, you let it go and then you fold. So we stay on the open road. We drive for hours and still no end in sight at all. Driving in your car, miss the stop sign, fall in love, just to get knocked out. Pull your punches and burn with your cigarettes. Pulled like a punch and burnt like a cigarette? forever. |

Just ahead I see you winding up And you're dressing this color on the edge of fire Until these tightened strides They march in time again I don't know if I will cut through I don't know if my heart will beat without you guiding it Winding up Leading me Winding up to explode It's the sound of your racing heart That beats in time with every start (the start of the year. the start of life. the start of war) That reaches up and across the sky That makes us want to try I'm falling to peices I can't let go Tearing apart your lies I want to live It's the sound of your shotgun pulse Beating over and over in your silent halls It's a thought that keeps us alive It makes us want to rise A scream to guide me through my life Winding up Leading me Winding up to what you can not unwind This side of you and if it's taken away You won't know what to do You're stretching to meet expectations that you will never reach And now it's far to late to ever leave this cold I'm giving up Marching in time with your drums I'm letting go of everything i once loved |

If we run far away, think we will ever die We'll throw all these books in the fire Can you stop the train, cause it some delay The change machine lied, and its too late To scream, how long is the night It's never over, it's never over The ribbon was tied but the card was never read It's never over, it's never over The ribbon was crimson, the color of the night Can you see the handwritting on the walls and on the autumn leaves that fall OooOoo, what are we gonna do The trees are giving up on us The needle and the thread stitch us to the branch, and the night it never ends What are we gonna do The trees are giving up on us The needle and the thread (won't stitch, won't stitch us) Won't stitch us to the branch, and the night never ends The night, it never ends, it never ends The night, it never ends I will never sleep again (I, I'll never even close my eyes) I will never sleep again (I, I'll never even close my eyes) I will never sleep again (I, I'll never even close my eyes) I will never sleep again (I, I'll never even close my eyes) If the suns on its way, then we will never die We'll follow these tracks to the sight Now the lungs collapes, air is getting thin All breath expired and its too late To heal, how long it the night It's never over, it's never over The ribbon was tied but the card was never read It's never over, it's never over The ribbon was crimson, the color of the night It's all I ever see anymore But the day looked so bright (bright) In the pictures, in the photo album that you gave me It's all I have, to live for (live for) I'm falling down, I'm falling down and you're not there to break my fall I shut my eyes when you're around I hold my breath to kill the sound I'm falling down, I'm falling down and your not here to catch my fall I shut my eyes when you around I hold my breath to kill the sound I'm falling down, I'm falling down And your not here to catch my fall more Thursday Lyrics |
