Watch yourself before you crawl inside somebody else Were you here to trap me like a thousand bottled tears? Even though you disappeared with no goodbye, I see you almost everywhere You're everywhere
I'm haunted And all I see is you I'm haunted All I need is you There is no one else There is no one else except for you
I still dream; I won't give up until I wear your ring Violate; and if you do it, try not to be late A hundred winters make the spring insane A hundred nights without you, I'm not okay I'm not okay
I'm haunted And all I see is you I'm haunted All I need is you And I can't go too far to find out where you are I'm haunted And all I see is you I'm haunted and Everyone is you And there is no one else, there is no one else
The memory burns so deep in my heart through the hollow hours You're close to me, I can feel, I can feel
I'm haunted I'm haunted I'm haunted And all I see is you I'm haunted And everyone is you and there is no one else There is no one else except for you
I'm so uncertain of what's growing in my head That's how it goes when there are ghosts to put to bed What does it want from me, certificates of certainty? There must be help around the bend
Ooh, what would I do without you? Ooh, what would I do?
Am I its brother, its mother and its son? Am I a product of everything it's done? Am I a woman 'cause I'm scared to be a man? I'm reaching deep inside with everything I am
One by one the voices make their rounds I can't believe the monster I have hidden in my mouth It has to scream
Ooh, what would I do without you? Ooh, what would I do? Ooh, what would I do without you? Ooh, what would I do?
One by one the voices make their rounds I can't believe the monster I have hidden in my mouth It has to scream All at once I give into its sound, remembering The monster I have hidden in my mouth It has to sing, it has to sing, it has to sing
Did I just have to live the chapter on regrets? Should I just tell myself it's easy to forget? I cannot face my pain the same familiar way again 'Cause we are more than who we are
Ooh, what would I do without you? Ooh, what would I do? Ooh, what would I do without you? Ooh, what would I do? Ooh, what would I do without you? Ooh, what would I do?
Am I treading in your flow Well maybe I don't wanna know That we are gone before we go And you are upside down Waiting in the sweet debris To shock you into loving me I'm not the way I used to be And I am still alive And I am still alive
I am not your pretty thing I am not your pretty thing I am not your pretty thing Your seventeen or prom queen anymore
I might be too good for you And maybe you could get a clue I'll let you salt my wounds So tell me who's pretty now I don't know how a creep can sleep And why your talk is always cheap And what you're sowing you will reap You sure get around And you sure get around
I am not your pretty thing I am not your pretty thing I am not your pretty thing Your seventeen or prom queen anymore
And you can't have the sun at the same time as the rain And you can't be wild and then be tame 'Cause I just found out you were caught bein' nasty With a whole lot to say, a whole lot to say That's insane I am sane, I am sane I am sane, I am sane
I am not your pretty thing I am not your pretty thing I am not your pretty thing Your seventeen or prom queen anymore
I am not your pretty thing I am not your pretty thing I am not your pretty thing Your seventeen or prom queen anymore

I drink the water out of time I said, has anybody seen The whirlpool floating in my mind I said, has anybody seen This is the low that I could find
And I'm on solitary sand And I've been stepped on by a man But I stood taller than I am In parentheses
Beauty queens are very shy More than lash that meets the eye So she jumps then wants to fly But it's too late now I'm in denial
I get midevil on boy bands I said, is anybody listening? The way life makes the nice girls fast I said, is anybody listening? It isn't just a lucky chance
And I'm on solitary sand And all the bullshit from a man But found exactly who I am
I'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry I'll never be the little black dress we've seen on Natalie B. I'll never be five foot ten, I'm barely five foot three I'm on solitary sand, but in parentheses
Would you like the chance To shatter heaven? Would you like to be the one who Pulls the sky down just for me? Round and round and round we run And pretend the sun is all you need
I've never known a moment To be frozen You're making deals with minutes that Will slip away, just slip away So starve the garden, stop the rain Winter settles on my petals anyways Anyways
Is your armor thin again Do I want to wear it down? Am I worthy to come in? Do you want to be found?
Nothing into something into nothing Every rule you break means There's no turning back, no looking back. The words that I could never say The clutter that is in your way Is nothing new Nothing new
Is your armor thin again? Do I want to wear it down? Am I worthy to come in? Do you want to be found?
Is your armor thin again? Do I want to wear it down? Am I worthy to come in? Do you want to be found?
Wandering between the girl You search for and the one you leave And I cannot wait
Chasing you around the room is tempting So near and far away from Meaning anything to you But just remember if you're jumping I would start my jump off Running after you
Is your armor thin again? Do I want to wear it down? Am I worthy to come in? Do you want to be found?
Is your armor thin again? Do I want to wear it down? Am I worthy to come in? Am I worthy to come in? Am I worthy to come in? Do you want to be found? Do you want to be found?
You can't judge the love by the lover The sky by its thunder The road with no sign You can't make the snow fall in summer Or make him not want her And not leave you behind Maybe he'll stay in touch years down the road And hope that he's still on your mind
The sun may come up and go down again I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
Maybe we'll meet up in Denver Talk about weather, talk of old times I know every word that we said was what we both meant Well we meant it at the time Promise me that you'll be standing up straight Chasing rivers and shadows and time
The sun may come up and go down again I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
Time flies Time cries Time flies Time cries
So swim to the end of the river Until there's no shiver left in your spine Live like there won't be tomorrow See through your sorrow See through your own eyes Try to remember these days down the road And try to remember this time
The sun may come up and go down again I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
The sun may come up The sun may go down The sun may come up The sun may go down The sun may come up The sun may go down I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
Hello boys Got directions to the bombshell factory? And a bowflexing nightmare tendency? Hesitate, where's the tape, my retired beauty queen?
Hello girls Truth can make you stare into the mirror for hours And can lip gloss save a nation, Mr. Powers? Come into what's my own disappear zone
Close my ears Close my eyes In a world of a stupid girl and in her stupid dress size So who are we? Who's the judge, and are you something like a hero?
No mistakes Different versions of the girl right next to you And I'm knocking on your door and can't get through And I cry and I sigh and I try To close my ears And close my eyes In the world of a stupid girl and in her pettiest of lies So who are we? Who's the judge, and are you something like a hero?
Dull sensations push them to the wall Oh to the walls, yeah And the thorns that fall have the guts to walk upon them all
Halfway there I was waiting by the phone for you to care And I can't make a seed grow anywhere So I wait, so I wait, are you out there?
Close my eyes Close my ears In the world of a stupid girl and in her shallowest of fears Who are we? Who's the judge and are you something like a hero?
Her hands are in the air again Stripped of pride She was waiting for a sign to be let in She tried to stop a train for him Without shoes And he was so amused, amused
She needs a reason to parade on She needs a new road to pave She needs a reason to parade on It's wearing her outsides thin There's someone there to save
You wonder why she gives and gives Till it burns And there is nothing he can give her in return She'll live and die by make-believe Her frozen heart Well he can't wait around while she gets blown apart
She needs a reason to parade on She needs a new road to pave She needs a reason to parade on It's wearing her outsides thin There's someone there to save
The distance won't know which way you should go 'Cause we are not built so we can float We are what we are But that seems so far Parting the Red Sea is easier, easier
It's time to introduce herself She's dethroned Like some lonesome dusty book upon his shelf
She needs a reason to parade on She needs a new road to pave She needs a reason to parade on It's wearing her outsides thin There's someone there to save, oh And there's nothing I can say And there's nothing I can say
When I feel like I'm falling I'm still on my feet Reality is calling But that don't bother me Cause I'm on my way, I'm OK I'm ready to get ready Willing to get by Able to imagine what it's like to fly Into the blue, it's all down too Hey, hey, hey Come on Bring on the day Cause I just might get everything I need Hey, hey, hey Give 'em what it takes I'm ready as I'm ever gonna be So, bring on the day Like a diver in the water Everything feels slow My car, my markiardo, it gets me in the flow Cause I'm on my way Whatever it takes Hey, hey, hey Come on bring on the day Cause I just might get everything I need Hey, hey, hey Give 'em what it takes I'm as ready as I'm every gonna be So, bring on the day What you get is what you see Open up your eyes Let it set you free It all works out eventually Gotta keep on keep on I can rock, and I can roll I know I wanna move, gotta take control Whatch out world cause here I come And I can't stop till I'm done Hey, hey, hey I'm finally on my way Hey, hey, hey Come on bring on the day Cause I just might get everything I need Hey, hey, hey Give 'em what it takes Cause I'm as ready as I'm ever gonna be So, bring on the day Gotta keep on, keep on, keep on
It's 3 AM and I have been in my head for quite some time Every fear, every tear has been swirling in my mind And there are still a hundred reasons I shouldn't walk away Do I love you if I leave you? You have no name
I was up all night Waiting for some kind of miracle I was up all night Feeling all alone in the universe I was up all night
When morning comes, I will tell you it's life I have to chase But every song that I sing will be written by your face And if you're really meant to be then you'll be back again And I watch as your beginning turns into the end
I was up all night Waiting for some kind of miracle I was up all night Feeling all alone in the universe If it's you or if it's me I save I'm still throwing it all away I was up all night
With a kick inside in the dark you hide And we both know how the end will be In your little tide with your eyes shut wide And we both know how the end will be How it will be
I was up all night Waiting for some kind of miracle I was up all night Feeling all alone in the universe If it's you or if it's me I save I'm still throwing it all away I was up all night
I woke up this morning and my head, i started roaming Now nothing's right, nothing's right Don't remember being born, don't know why we're being torn Now nothing's right, nothing's right I open up my mouth just to let the demon shout 'Bout my dirty little schemes, that the wettest of my dreams are you Nothing's right, nothing's right
Over and over I'm feeling the same of loneliness And under me, under me feeling the madman
I'm breaking off a piece of what's left of what was me But it feels all right, it feels all right I'm laying on your road 'cause I thought that it might hold It feels all right, feels all right Do I wanna take a bet, is this as good as it'll get? And I cannot get away from the comfortable, familiar chains Nothing's right, nothing's right
Over and over I'm feeling the same of loneliness And under me, under me feeling the madman Over and over it's chilling, the things I've let you miss And if you're a miracle, I am the madman
And I'm sorry I didn't build your walls and I'm sorry I had to go and fall and I'm sorry I had the whole thing wrong and Well I guess I'm the sorriest of all And I'm sorry that you are feeling small and I'm sorry that I'm not used to crawling I'm sorry the writing's on the wall and Well I guess I'm the sorriest I guess I'm the sorriest of all
I woke up this morning and my head, it started roaming Now nothing's right, nothing's right Don't remember being born, don't know why we're being torn Now nothing's right, nothing's right You said you don't identify with my sort of petrified outlook On the pride that I've managed to ignore so long Nothing's right Nothing's right Nothing's right Nothing's right But it seems all right Seems all right
Ode to joy, my lover boy's speaking in tongues And the sky's bleeding gray Now I pull my bag o' prayers out I hope to find one to save the day
And he judged my love, my lust My taste with the straightest face As I crumple up inside A papier-mache, a shell with no name
Sweet chariot Come, come, take me away from my fear Sweet chariot Come, I have to get out of here
And he took me further than I wanted to go Underneath his shoe And it leaves me hungry for a touch I can't feel A touch he won't do And I thought the circle, it had an end I'm old enough to know My denial is how we began and how we will end And now that I know
Sweet chariot Come, come, take me away from my fear Sweet chariot Come, I have to get out of here
Oh, the blood that's in my veins So cold and frozen from the stings Oh, he comes and goes in waves Am I really here?
Sweet chariot Come, come, take me away from my fear Sweet chariot Can we leave him a trail of my tears? Sweet chariot It's been, it's been the longest of years Sweet chariot Come, I have to get out of here
The lost and insincere They think I need to hear what's in their empty eyes, eyes, eyes We're few and far between We've hardly been serene But stand up to their lies, lies, lies
We are steel We don't feel anything at all
He took me in arms But then he squeezed too hard He wouldn't let me breathe, breathe, breathe It's been too many years I've hurt too many times To give up everything, thing, thing
I am steel I don't feel anything at all
The way I've been confused The way that I've been used And spit out on your dime And still you lead me on And still you tear me down And say it's in my mind
Well I've seen hell and back I've hidden in the dark With no one there at all, all, all I've scraped us back to life I've laced up both my boots So try and twist the knife, knife, knife
I am steel I don't feel anything at all We are steel We don't feel anything at all We don't feel anything at all Anything at all Anything at all Anything at ahhhhhhh
Every time it rains I listen to the sky And wonder what's so great about sunshine Everybody lives and everybody dies And no one's gonna love you like I do
When it was getting dark I didn't need a match I never needed light to see you You thought I disappeared But I was always here I could never get that far from you
Though I misunderstand And been misunderstood So love me 'cause you can And not because you should
Every time it rains I know it's good to be alive Every time it rains I know I'm trying to survive
Take it as it comes And take me as I am I never was a good imposter But I know how to dream And don't know where I stand I'm willing to admit I try too hard Stop playing with my heart I'm waiting by the phone Afraid to be myself Afraid to be alone
Every time it rains I know it's good to be alive Every time it rains I know I'm trying to survive And every time it rains I'm gonna hide myself inside
I know it's good to be alive I know it's good to be alive I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains I know it's good to be alive Every time it rains I know I'm trying to survive
Would you like the chance To shatter heaven? Would you like to be the one who Pulls the sky down just for me? Round and round and round we run And pretend the sun is all you need

I can't cry, I can't understand Can't we give in or give up my plan? And we were swimming in the water with no hands
And I will never quit the fight I'll push the limits of our love And every passing day and night I'll push the limits of our love And everything will be all right I'll push the limits of our love To see how far it goes, goes where nobody knows
You're the light on the darkest me Don't back out 'cause you cannot see And though our instincts say that we should turn and run
And I will never quit the fight I'll push the limits of our love And every passing day and night I'll push the limits of our love And everything will be all right I'll push the limits of our love To see how far it goes, goes where nobody knows
And when the world is crashing down I'll throw it on my back for you When you're paralyzed and bound I'll be waging war, my love My love, my love
And I will never quit the fight I'll push the limits of our love And every passing day and night I'll push the limits of our love And everything will be all right I'll push the limits of our love To see how far it goes, goes where nobody knows
I dig my heels into the dirt 'Cause this one's gonna hurt Won't let the waves wash me away Is what I always pray In my heart I know you couldn't see In the dark or find your way through me Now I'm alone, my hands are numb How do I carry on?
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
Now I'm held hostage in my head With every word you said God, all those lessons in my past I spit them out so fast I see myself with you, I act so small I see myself with you, I always crawl So someone leave a raft for me The water's getting deep
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
Here I am in my insecurity Here I am in my damaged dignity Here I am, you're pulling me in too deep Here I am Here I am, I'm in the mercy seat Here I am, running without my feet Here I am, oh what's come over me? Here I am
When I was melting in your hand You didn't understand You slip through me like grains of sand You still don't understand Overboard, I'm thrown out to see What you are and what I mean to me But I will always have my dream where you can swim to me
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die I've been on your shore before And it was no waste of time Over my head and in my mind Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
