I'm lost at sea, The radio is jamming but they wont find me, I swear its for the best And then your frequency is pulling me in closer Til I'm home. And I've been up for days I finally lost my mind And then I lost my way. I'm blistered but I'm better and I'm home. And I will crawl, theres things that aren't worth giving up I know. But I won't let this get me I will fight. You live the life you're given with the storms outside somedays all I do is watch the sky. This room's too small, it's only getting smaller I'm against the wall, I'm slowly getting taller here in Wonderland. This guilt feels so familiar and I'm home. And I will crawl, theres things that aren't worth giving up I know. But I won't let this get me I will fight. You live the life you're given with the storms outside somedays all I do is watch the sky, Somedays all I do is watch the sky. I think I, I could use a little break, today was a good day. I think I, I could use a little break, today was a good day. It's a deep sea on which I'm floating. Still I sink to think that i must... Crawl, theres things that aren't worth giving up I know. When you can't bear to carry me I'll fight. You live the life you're given with the storms outside somedays all I do is watch the sky, Today was a good day, today was a good day.
Climbing out of the sky a man who could fly And a painting anyone could play It's a comic book crush that taught you to trust Staring out of the stands at a rock n' roll band And a hero no one else could save It was never much but it's all that you gave
And I wonder if you wonder, or did your stars finally explode? Did the thunder pull you underneath the haze? I'm amazed, than I let go
Little minds let little games burn big old dreams with little flames And you don't think I understand Little holes in parachutes won't leave you falling If they do, it's because you want to land
Climbing out of his chair to fix the T.V. glare is a man But no one knows he's there It's a Dramamine dream that kept them alive but lost She's got her plastic friends and a brand new Benz and she laughs Hell, sometimes life ain't fair It's a comic book crush that got them nowhere
And I wonder if you wonder, or did your stars finally explode? Did the thunder pull you underneath the haze? I'm amazed, than I let go
Little minds let little games burn big old dreams with little flames And you don't think I understand Little holes in parachutes won't leave you falling If they do, it's because you want to land
These elevator doors are closing again you leave before I planned I taste you walking down the hall You left your perfume on the nightstand
Your grand dad left home for the circus. He was young just like me, with hope to explore. He married a girl in Virginia. She could swing the trapeze; they could sleep on the floor. Your mother was born in December, on the one sunny day that winter gave up. She had warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies, when she stared at the world. So why do you leave these stories unfinished, my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes? Why do you look when you've already found it? What did you find that could leave you walking by? She was raised in a New England village. Then she moved to LA with her firefly stare, and you loved sunset strip when it sparkled, you grew up and you sparkled but why don't you care? So why do you leave these stories unfinished, my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes? Why do you look when you've already found me? What did you find that could leave you walking by? And these nights I get high just from breathing. When I lie here with you I'm sure that I'm real, like that firework over the freeway. I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel. So why do you leave these questions unanswered? The circus awaits and you're already gone. My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile, what makes it so easy for you to be walking by? And what did I do that you can't seem to want me? Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes? Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me? What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
Close your eyes, and I will be swimming Lullabies fill your room, and I will be singing Singing to only you Don't forget I'll hold your hand Watch the night sky fading red
But as you sleep, and no one is listening I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me
In the car, the radio leaves me searching for your star A constellation of frustration driving hard Singing my thoughts back to me, and watching heartache on TV
But as you sleep, and no one is listening I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me
Don't forget I'll hold your hand, watch the night sky fading red
But as you sleep, and no one is listening I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me
Home, Is this a quiet place where you should be alone? Is this where the tortured and the troubled find their own? I don't know, But I can tell this isn't you your cover's blown. But oh no, Don't you dare hang up this phone. Hey. Give me space so I can breathe. Give me space so I can sleep. Give me space so you can drown in this with me. In this place, The lonely escapade in outer space. There's no antidote for irony you say, That you have, When you know, That you don't. And you say, That you can, When you know, That you won't. Hey. Give me space so I can breathe. Give me space so I can sleep. Give me space so you can drown in this with me. Hey. Give me space but I can't breathe. Give me space but I can't sleep. Give me just one inch I swear that's all I need. Oh. These battered walls and TV screens; Sometimes they make me want to scream. Ah. Hey. Give me space so I can breathe. Give me space so I can sleep. Give me space so you can drown in this with me. Hey. Give me space but I can't breathe. Give me space but I can't sleep. Give me just one inch I swear that's all I need.
Piece by piece, and bit by bit i'll break this down for you, real slow but i can't whisper all of this and i can't seem to let this go so i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes i can tell its your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear and fire's a beautiful sound and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear and ashes just fall to the ground yeah we're only ashes part and part and inch my inch you'll have your mile when its through incinerate whats left of this and torch the part of me that's you so i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes i can tell it's your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear and fire's a beautiful sound and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear and ashes just fall to the ground yeah we're only ashes i can tell it's your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear and fire's a beautiful sound and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear and ashes just fall to the ground yeah we're only ashes
It's a good year for a murder She's praying to Jesus She's pulling the trigger There's no tears Cause he's not here She washes her hands And she fixes the dinner
But soon they'll be coming to rush her away No one's so sure if her crime had a reason But reasons like seasons they constantly change And the seasons of lies still like reasons are flowing, away
Away with this spilled milk? Away with this dirty dishwater? Away
Seventeen years and all that he gave was a daughter
It's me and the moon she says I got no trouble with that And I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die It's me and the moon she says
And it's over, it just started The blood stained the carpet Her heart like a crystal She's lucid and departed A life left behind she can find in her mind, gone away
Away with these nightmares Away with suburbia shakedown Away
You marry a role and you give up your soul till you break down
It's me and the moon she says I got no trouble with that And I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die It's me and the moon she says
But what do you say we go for a ride What do you say we get high But I'm so tired of days that feel like the night
It's me and the moon she says I got no trouble with that And I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die And I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die And I am a butterfly And I am a butterfly And I am a butterfly
if you ran to the end of the earth i would catch you and you would be safe if you fell down a well i would bring you a rope and take all of your pain all the pain, all the pain that you hide from me everyday
if youre missing i will run away i will build a path to you if you're missing i will run away just to find myself in you
if i woke up alone i won't stop till i'll find you and you are with me cause by now, i know you better than you know yourself and i know what you really need what you need, or i need but either way this is where you should be here with me, or ill bleed so much that you wont believe
if you're missing i will run away i will build a path to you if you're missing i will run away just to find myself in you
you better not, you better not run you better not, you better not run
if you're missing i will run away i will build a path to you if you're missing i will run away i will find you i will find you i will find you
This is the only lonely picture Waiting on my floor Littering my shore This is the last true burning letter Given to a girl Written by a boy Living in a world created to destroy
But if I built you a city, would you let me Would you tear it down?
But there you go for the last time I finally know now what I should have known then That I could still be ruthless if you'll let me But there you go and I'm not done You're waving goodbye, but at least you're having fun The rising tide will not let you forget me Forget me
This is the ghost that kneels before me Raises on her tongue, a body full of oxygen It won't be the last time she'll ignore me The thinning of my skin, without the strength to go The winter's setting in, to cover you in snow
But if I built you a city, would you let me Would you tear it down?
But there you go for the last time I finally know now what I should have known then That I could still be ruthless if you'll let me But there you go and I'm not done You're waving goodbye, but at least you're having fun The rising tide will not let you forget me Forget me Forget me Forget me Forget me, yeah
I'll raise towers and climb them Rivers and walk them Oceans to drown in You won't make a sound in
But there you go for the last time I finally know now what I should have known then That I could still be ruthless if you'll let me But there you go and I'm not done You're waving goodbye, but at least you're having fun The rising tide will not let you forget me Forget me
Tonight I watched the lights go out in your house Wondering how I could get so deep And you could still get sleep In vain I blame my trembling on the cold air But I can't hide that I've relied on you Like yellow does on blue
And you're my Good feeling I'm kneeling Inside a room she paints me blue And you are My reason For breathing Inside a room she paints me blue, again
Atlanta started raining on me And teenage love was underground Tonight I'll break the surface Atlanta started raining on me And no young girl was claiming me Or naming me and destiny gets nervous
And you're my Good feeling I'm kneeling Inside a room she paints me blue And you are My reason For breathing Inside a room she paints me blue, again
And you're my Good feeling I'm kneeling Inside a room she paints me blue And you are My reason For breathing Inside a room she paints me blue, again
Atlanta started raining on me On me Atlanta started raining on me On me
I'm on fire And the day is feeling hopeless You'd see me burning but the burning's turning smokeless Soon I won't feel at all No
It's electric the neon heard inside your phone call The letter's sadness and her madness it revolves Bringing down the walls where you found her No
Well, I'm willing to break myself To shake this hell from everything I touch I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays So you don't hurt so much
And now I'm static As your sky is turning purple and gray I'm learning that the further that I crawl The farther that I fall, is that ok? No
And you're in pieces As your world becomes a rainstorm You've got no shelter I'm a thousand miles away You'll survive the day
You say you're leaving You say you're leaving
Well, I'm willing to break myself To shake this hell from everything I touch I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays So you don't hurt so much So you don't hurt so much
Never again will I fire this gun No never again you're the only one No never again but you're already gone
I'm willing to break myself I'm not afraid I'm willing to break myself I'm not afraid I'm willing to break myself I'm not afraid
Well, I'm willing to break myself To shake this hell from everything I touch I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays So you don't hurt so much
I'm under attack again my dear, I'm in the way Got no resolutions, no clever anecdotes to say And still if I yell at the top of my lungs will it be the same? I'd fly you a flag, I'd bury this pen into my veins
I wanna feel through you tonight But I won't make you I won't make you
The telephone number I got for you says nobody's home The best thing I can think to do right now is leave it alone
And you had an apology in your mailbox since last July It's funny when you find the words to say you find no reply
I wanna feel through you tonight But I won't make you I won't make you
Scream my name just one more time
But I won't make you I won't make you
And it's been hours now
To be here like this And just to lay you down And just to taste your lips And just to keep me up God I'm tired of sleeping And just to lay inside you And just to know this feeling
I wanna feel through you tonight But I won't make you I won't make you
Some days go by, I wish I was famous Or maybe religious, so I could go to heaven Just like you I can have a big house, complain about taxes Payoff my ex's, ain't that living No one makes fun of me, cause I can't stand up for myself
Woah, 21 and invincible Woah, can't wait to screw this up And woah, 21 and invincible I'm in power for the hour I guess today's gonna blow us away
I've got a girlfriend She tells me she needs me And she loves me We'll probably get married Oh no, and everyone will bite their tongues so hard they'll bleed
When mom hears this song She'll tell me I'm crazy And she'll say to me Son you're much too young, go have some fun don't waste Your youth like I did
And woah, 21 and invincible Woah, can't wait to screw this up And woah, 21 and invincible I'm in power for the hour I guess today's gonna blow us away
And it's been autumn since the day that I met you If I hit bottom, I'd crawl out alone And I don't wish you know the secrets of summer at all
And woah, 21 and invincible Woah, can't wait to fuck this up And woah, 21 and invincible I'm in power for the hour I guess today's gonna blow us away
Another lonely night in Amersterdam And stars are coming out in waves I miss my Miss America in Park Hotel But I'm too stoned to call it a day
And when everything you wanted Is to hide behind your eyes And I'm locked in my hotel room Turning over our goodbyes
I will write this down for you So you can read it I will hold my breath for you Till I can't feel it
Another lonely night in Amsterdam And water's moving through the sound The blood is boiling in my veins And the food I can't keep down
And I don't care if you don't love me And I don't care if you don't change I could live inside the shadow that I cast for you And the myth that you would stay And I'll be home before the morning comes You won't have to be alone
I will write this down for you So you can read it I will hold my breath for you Till I can't feel it You don't have to see me this way Cause this way I'm okay I will write this down, I will write this down
Oh love, I'm tangled up, again Oh love, when does this twisting end? When does this twisting end?
I will write this down for you So you can read it I will hold my breath for you Till I can't feel it You won't have to see me this way Cause this way I'm okay I will write this down for you So you can read it
Close your eyes, and I will be swimming Lullabies fill your room, and I will be singing Singing to only you Don't forget I'll hold your hand Watch the night sky fading red

Let's get drunk, you can drive us to the harbor Wish upon a star, but do you know what stars are? Balls of fire burning up the black space Falling from the landscape Exploding in the Face of God
Let's get crazy, talk about our big plans Places that you're going, places that I haven't been Build my walls up, concrete castle Keep this kingdom free of hassles
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
But I hear sound echo in the emptiness all around What you can't change is loneliness Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone Feel your heart, it breaks within your chest now Try to get some rest now Sleep's not coming easy for a while, child Child, yeah
But I hear sound echo in the emptiness all around What you can't change is loneliness Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Down, down, down, down
But I hear sound echo in the emptiness all around What you can't change is loneliness Look at what you've found, I'm falling down Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
