A dark congregation
Of familiar faces Gathered around the quiet earth A red rose Fell upon the soft snow Prayers were whispered so slow From our mouths Our breath rose in the cold, like a hundred souls escaping Save me, I am swallowed by the guilt of this You're gone, sleeping in the dust We will not let time erase us We are surrounded By all of the quiet sleepers inside the quiet earth A fear that I cannot shape You dared to kiss the face of the night Our lips were cold as clay, we couldn't speak anyway Save me, I am swallowed by the guilt of this You're gone, sleeping in the dust We will not let time erase us Our breath rose in the cold Like a hundred souls We, we are alone I know you're gone Save me, I am swallowed by the guilt of this You're gone, sleeping in the dust We will not let time erase us |

I'm a halfhearted fool, with a heart that's broke in two
A quarter and a kiss is all I should be worth to you I must be the last of my kind, cause you treasure me despite all the signs That love is disappearing, and darlin' you shouldn't even try After every fight, we always wonder what we're fighting for Mint me up and mark me, yeah, you stole me but I am not yours As you cry, I wanna lie, say 'I love you so,' darlin' even though I don't There's no easy way to ease the pain The roses and the tulips have withered away, they had their day And so it's time to say goodnight and goodbye You're so bright that you shine right through All the problems that I always try to lay on you Won't you take me off trial, and won't you get some air in this room? I can't believe in what I cannot hold inside of my hand Won't let nobody in who might decide to mess up the plan I'd be a liar if I told you that we would work out After every fight, we always wonder what we're fighting for Mint me up and mark me, yeah, you stole me but I am not yours As you cry, I wanna lie, say 'I love you so,' darlin' even though I don't There's no easy way to ease the pain The roses and the tulips have withered away, they had their day And so it's time to say goodnight and goodbye Nobody's singing about you anymore You thought you heard it well you must have heard wrong It's my business and that's alright Don't you see that? As you cry, I wanna lie, say 'I love you so,' darlin' even though I don't There's no easy way to ease the pain The roses and the tulips have withered away, they had their day And so it's time to say goodnight and goodbye Goodbye |

The boys who kiss and bite
They are the brilliant ones who speak and write With silver luck They sing in clever tongues Oh, while my knees go weak to be the one She kicks and bites Always quick to follow The boys are too refined Won't matter tomorrow Oh, to be in his mind And if the timing is right To sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance To be a doll in his hands I will be sure, we shake The mountains while we dance To daddy singing sweet A lullaby to all his credit speak His golden lie To the edge with a car He sent if off a cliff just for the spark To hell with why Always quick to follow The boys are too refined Won't matter tomorrow Oh, to be in his mind And if the timing is right To sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance To be a doll in his hands I will be sure, we shake The mountains while we dance And if the timing is right To sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance To be a doll in his hands I will be sure, we shake The mountains while we And if the timing is right To sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance To be a doll in his hands I will be sure, we shake The mountains while we dance |

The weight of days lost holding you down
You'll look for me but I won't be found The bluebirds flutter in my chest How they want to sing You'll have to break me open to hear anything Before the world dies at my door I'll break the sky For you and I are going nowhere Kiss goodbye a dozen times before we get there Why do I need anyone else When I can break the sky myself? Won't be haunted by dreams I've deferred Won't set my heart frozen in amber The love you always seem to find is syrupy sweet One taste and you've made up your mind Too ripe to eat Before the world dies at my door I'll break the sky For you and I are going nowhere Kiss goodbye a dozen times before we get there Why do I need anyone else When I can break the sky myself? Fear will hold you back If you believe in that Fear will hold you back If you believe in that Fear will hold you back If you believe in that Fear will hold you back If you believe in that I'll break the sky For you and I are going nowhere Kiss goodbye a dozen times before we get there Why do I need anyone else Why do I need anyone? I'll break the sky For you and I are going nowhere Kiss goodbye a dozen times before we get there Why do I need anyone else When I can break the sky myself? |

Escape into the eerie night
In the dark, I'm out of sight Shadows on the alley wall Are dancing like a lovers brawl North, south, east and west Foreign land is right and left Don't let them see you cry I didn't know which way was home Ten degrees without a coat Don't let them see you cry, see you I don't want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don't want to love you if love is this alone I don't want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don't want to love you if love is this alone Silence couldn't stop the sound The news and gossip got around A whisper here, whisper there I do but don't know why I care North, south, east and west Foreign land is right and left Don't let them see you cry I didn't know which way was home Ten degrees without a coat Dont let them see you cry, see you I don't want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don't want to love you if love is this alone I don't want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don't want to love you if love is this alone Eyes hang from the sockets of our faces You said no and I don't think I can take it This car's caving in Rains on in the city traffic puzzle Shifting pieces just like my stomach We're both so upset Lovesick and sick of it We're both on the same page Don't feel the same way Rains on in the city traffic puzzle Shifting pieces just like my stomach We're both so upset I don't want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don't want to love you if love is this alone I don't want to love you if love leaves me this cold I don't want to love you if love is this alone |

La da da da, la da da da, da da da
Carousels make laps each night Like drunks we spin until we're sick Creepy clowns from one horse towns Can make their livings on a trick Night covers all our tracks To break some fragile backs So we tell some lies And then we hide from light One night I fell asleep and woke up on that sunny street At first I thought I couldn't, but now I see That the shadows kept me hidden From the light that calls my name All the creatures stirred above me Now I'm crawling towards the sun Candy lips that taste too sweet Were sour in the summer heat As the night fell I heard church bells Say it's time to leave Out on the town we went To carry out missions Neither you or I would ever know sunlight One night I fell asleep and woke up on that sunny street At first I thought I couldn't, but now I see That the shadows kept me hidden From the light that calls my name All the creatures stirred above me Now I'm crawling towards the sun In the night light, we still shine bright In the night light, we still shine bright In the night light, we still shine bright In the night light, we still shine bright One night I fell asleep and woke up on that sunny street At first I thought I couldn't, but now I see That the shadows kept me hidden From the light that calls my name All the creatures stirred above me Now I'm crawling towards the sun |

You came to me
In seamless sleep And slipped right in Behind my eyes On the back of my mind We swam a sea Of pretty sights and chandelier skies I swore I could feel you breathe It was all so real to me The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh Don't wake me up I am still dreaming The storms undone Unraveled at the seams Don't wake me up Death is misleading And when I fall asleep Sleep with a ghost I moved in the dark The room calm and cold The quiet hollow I am such a haunted soul Your ghost has gone The bed is so cold The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh Don't wake me up I am still dreaming The storms undone Unraveled at the seams Don't wake me up Death is misleading And when I fall asleep Sleep with a ghost Oh, you were a fire caught in a storm Memories, like embers keep us warm You will leave me in the morning Leave me Patrick Stump The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh |

You are the lighthouse, the seamark
The tempest created this tide I'm pulled to the black silver ocean Where the current and the heavens collide You are the brick I am so unpredictable Led by the current away Your solid stage is so necessary To save all those who stray You are the navigator who never could lead We were lost in the silver sea I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink I am your thought, but the water is amnesia My name is on the tip of your tongue My image is slipping But your memory is gripping it This is my breath in your lungs You are the navigator who never could lead We were lost in the silver sea I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink Echo, my voice is an echo Of places I don't know And stories I've been told Echo, we all are connected A lighthouse, a voyage for history's sake Would you please take notice Echo, my voice is an echo Of places I don't know And stories I've been told Echo, we all are connected A lighthouse, a voyage For history's sake Would you please take notice Echo, my voice is an echo Of places I don't know And stories I've been told Echo, we all are connected A lighthouse, a voyage For history's sake Would you please take notice Echo, my voice is an echo Of places I don't know And stories I've been told Echo, we all are connected A lighthouse, a voyage For history's sake Would you please take notice |

Dear, you left too soon
Went to the next room If you haunt me, I'll sing for you How the hinges move Connecting me and you Is a door way That you're knocking through We walk down a dock And the water is cold You want me to Escort you How I'd love to go Swim with you in death But my heavy heart Won't let me tread I must stay On the shore I am young My blood is warm I can take you this far Now, my love, we must part When blood and youth were warmer We breathed summer like the sweet air We found each other like a mirror We were so optimistic It was so easy to be We we're young and naive Can you pull down the dawn? It's been so dark since you've been gone And we've been begging for the morning to come We were so optimistic It was so easy to be We were young and naive We'll be fine in the morning We'll be fine in the morning It's getting late so we must sleep We'll see you in the morning, Eileen |

In the backseat of a car
In the corner of a room In the shadows where I hide from you Do the hospital bed crawl Do the terminal yell And the violently alone I feel Well hey, you're the only thing I wouldn't change In this place, it's strange to say You're the only angel I ever gave away In an alleyway way downtown There's a lurker making rounds Keeping track and keeping tabs on you And he likes the taste of blood And he loves the way you love And that's just what he wants from you Well hey, you're the only thing I wouldn't change In this place, it's strange to say You're the only angel I ever gave away I don't want your shining eyes Darling don't you be polite I'm not like all the other boys I won't take a no I'm soaking in your cinnamon I've taken more than I can give Without you I'm alone So I'll never let you go Hey, you're the only thing I wouldn't change In this place, it's strange to say You're the only angel I ever gave away |

As we sift through the hour glass
We realize that an hours passed And not a person here is innocent We're both as guilty as a sin It must have rained all through the night The tires just couldn't grip right So I took another long sip And wiped away my chapped lips This is how it ends We believe every lie and say we'll be friends How long will it last Before we scratch all the scripts and we rework the cast As the hour met the minute hand We kept racing through this foreign land With no direction or a telephone Together we were all alone That's when the puzzle was finally pieced We compromised until our bodies seized To some we seem like colder creatures, well We were warm until we went to hell This is how it ends We believe every lie and say we'll be friends How long will it last Before we scratch all the scripts and we rework the Cast the first stone Let's pretend that we don't have a Past, the worst one Forbid, forget, forget that you exist Cast the first stone Let's pretend that we don't have a Past, the worst one |

Send out the morning birds to sing of the damage
Now that calm's returned I know I can't manage You're standing in my doorway Though he's asleep in my bed The steady murmur always in my head You're the finest thing that I've done The hurricane I'll never outrun I could wait around for the dust to still But I don't believe that it ever will And since the roof fell in I'll lean on what matters Caught in the slightest wind Everything else unravels You're standing in my doorway seven cities ago The days are racing, but you come back too slow You're the finest thing that I've done The hurricane I'll never outrun I could wait around for the dust to still But I don't believe that it ever will You're the finest thing that I've done The hurricane I'll never outrun I could wait around for the dust to still But I don't believe that it ever will But I don't believe that it ever will |

Take what you need while there's time
The city will be earth in a short while If I'm not mistaken, it's been in flames You and I will escape to the seaside There is a storm in the distance The wind breathing warning of its imminence There is a lighthouse, five hundred yards down You and I will be safe there There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse She saved me, I was swimming So young I almost drowned Under the water, she sang a story Of losing her lover She calls a warning Love, you are foolish, you're tired Your sleeplessness makes you a liar The city is burning The ocean is turning Our only chance is the lighthouse Her lover was a sailor She went and she waited there The door locked from the outside Lover never arrived, so she sings there Soft as a siren Luring the ships off their course, how alarming We went in, we climbed up and looked out The door locked from the outside Three ghosts in a lighthouse |

The lions roar and young men soar
The flames all scorch, the circus floor Puppets on string, all dance and sing, and flap their wings Trumpets play sick lullabies Delicate dame, her fragile face Was scared away, without a trace Out in the cold, where did she go? Into unknown, a place I'll never Know and the desperate search began All across this sea and land I just knew I'd find you here I just knew I'd find you Elephants rear, and young men steer The audience, just claps and cheers I asked around, half empty towns About a girl, nowhere to be found And the desperate search began All across this sea and land I just knew I'd find you here I just knew I'd find you We didn't know, we could not go The circus songs, just carried on Out of the crowd, three men rush out And scream and shout, "Everybody stop!" |

You know that you've got such a music box song in my head all day long Fell for a girl with wild eyes, dressed in satin and lace Oh but she's just an empty diamond mine with a moan across her face I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine You are the daydream in my eyes, there whenever I wake up But the colors never crystallize, and I never get enough Why do you kiss everybody but me? I just sit back and watch Oh but one day soon I'm gonna grab you by the collar And kiss you all I want I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine (Guitar and piano solos) I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine I can love you, I can love you, I can love you alright I can love you much better And you know someday I'm gonna make you mine |

It's gold and it's glowing with all the life you have left I received your words, from hospitals, where you felt alone Your words like smoke, they made me sick but they kept me warm Run where you'll be safe Through the garden gates To the shelter of magnolias Your eyes are like sea glass, so weathered and worn From all they've seen of adolescence torn The lovers who have tainted you, they pulled you into the night They touched your skin with velvet gloves and made you feel alive Run where you'll be safe Through the garden gates To the shelter of magnolias There's not much time The blush in the sky begins to fade You are weathered and worn Your petals soft and torn The fading color You have bent your shoulders To hold the weight of the world You will surely shatter Run where you'll be safe Through the garden gates To the shelter of magnolias There's not much time The blush in the sky begins to fade |

My cries fall upon her deaf ears, more tears Let me in, please it's cold, I'm freezing out here, I miss you my dear You're all his and I'm all yours, like it or not, I'm all you've got Everyone will make mistakes Without the sour the sweet wouldn't taste as Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me? Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave Light cuts through the clouds and haunts me, like bad dreams Outside, lookin' in, I'm feeling lost and cold as sin A shred of hope, a little bit of sweetness - anything please, except for defeat If I could I'd lock you up and toss out the key, it's just you and me Everyone will make mistakes (and I know I have) Without the sour the sweet wouldn't taste as Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me? Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave (yeah, yeah) Sweet melody, you'll be singing in your sleep But this time you're not listening to a word I say Crept through the curtains, as quick as the cold wind Slowly exploring the room where you sleep The stare of your portrait, the passing of your scent Left me no choice but to stay I will dissolve into the dark beneath your bed My hands will wait for a taste of your skin Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me? Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave (yeah, yeah) Sweet melody, you'll be singing in your sleep But this time you're not listening to a word I say A word I say |

You were a child who was made of glass
You carried a black heart passed down from your dad If somebody loved you they'd tell you by now We all turn away when you're down You want to go back to where you felt safe To hear your brother's laughter, see your mother's face Your childhood home is just powder-white bones And you'll never find your way back And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? If not, that's okay If not, that's okay You are broken and callow, cautious and safe You are boundless in beauty with fright in your face Until someone loves you, I'll keep you safe But like them, I will give you away And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? If not, that's okay And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? Oh when you're gone, we won't say a word But you know, that's okay Don't you know, that's okay |

The tides changed
It's time to go home The waves said I should go The wind began to blow And the water got tall And thats when I went home My mind changed and then I let go The pain said I should go The wind began to blow And the water got tall And thats when I went home Going back to the boat With fresh oars, I will row Going back to unknown This SOS will never reach the coast The tides changed It's time to go home The waves said I should go The wind began to blow And the water got tall And thats when I went home |

Facetiously fiction when Albrite was bitten
While kissing the girl of his dreams on the lips When I was watching, when I was clocking Seconds to minutes, their lips locked like digits On safes unsafe mainly due to ticking contents When I was watching, timer tick tocking Don't open the safe is unsafe No you won't disarm my heart No you won't disarm my heart The last gift youll ever get from me Is the combination or the key No you won't disarm my heart The dial was rusted, vintagely constructed To carry out thoughts of a small scale destruction I saw this one coming, there's no use in running Safe in the distance, ignorantly witnessing Everyone scatter as I had a vision A regret, you might say A worry, you might say Don't open the safe is unsafe No you won't disarm my heart No you won't disarm my heart The last gift you'll ever get from me Is the combination or the key No you won't disarm my heart |

In a field outside of town, we could always be alone
Carry a blanket, maybe a basket - and that's it Innocence was the key, I was locked up, never free Until you turned me Like vines, we intertwined (like vines, we intertwined) Carelessly growing up and growing old Life was on our tongues (on our tongues) And it tasted heavenly, so good I wake up and I feel alone I was just asleep Right where I belong Inside this sad, sad song I knew this was a dream, it was too good to be true And the coincidences were a bit much too Who wants to wake up? Who wants to lose it? Who wants to live in this place? I don't, so I'll be sleeping in Like vines, we intertwined (like vines we intertwined) Carelessly growing up and growing old Life was on our tongues (on our tongues) It tasted heavenly so good I wake up but I feel alone I was just asleep Right where I belong Inside this sad, sad song Blankets here keep me from cold Holding tightly my pillows Frantically searching for her Inside my head she is somewhere She is somewhere I wake up and I feel alone I was just asleep (I was just asleep) Right where I belong Inside this sad, sad song (sad, sad, sad, sad song) I wake up and I feel alone I was just asleep (sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep) Right where I belong Inside this sad, sad, sad song |

The snow won't stick to the weeping willows
The cold air won't blow open the windows You've made it through the storm this far You can do this, dear, it won't be hard Well, the snow won't stick to the weeping willows There will be tomorrow The sun will light a sea of sorrow Tonight it set and took our friend If I could do one thing, I'd bring him back Snow won't stick to the weeping willows Summer was painted on our skin And those secrets hidden In our childish lips They'd die for a kiss Fall was always left in your eyes Just a fleck of yellow light Like the sunrise Like the twilight Summer was painted on our skin And those secrets hidden In our childish lips They'd die for a kiss There will be tomorrow The sun will light a sea of sorrow Tonight it set and took our friend If I could do one thing, I'd bring him back Snow won't stick to the weeping willows Summer was painted on our skin And those secrets hidden In our childish lips They'd die for a kiss Fall was always left in your eyes Just a fleck of yellow light Like the sunrise Like the twilight Summer was painted on our skin And those secrets hidden In our childish lips They'd die for a kiss |

My heart has lost its wind now
Broken like a dead sail My love has drifted out to sea My body has been claimed Soul has been shipped away Can't feel the sand between my toes We set the wrong course And headed due north That's where we went wrong We were young and learning Steady hearts hate turning That's where we went wrong My will to fight has been flushed Seized like blank babies faces The water line begins to rise Let the tide swallow me whole Like morning light through windows Let that dark water take me home We set the wrong course And headed due north That's where we went wrong We were young and learning Steady hearts hate turning That's where we went wrong Greta: Hey, come back to me Darren: Hey, come back to me Greta: Hey, come back to me Darren: Baby, come back to me Chris: Ba ba da ba ba ba We set the wrong course And headed due north That's where we went wrong We were young and learning Steady hearts hate turning That's where we went wrong |

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone? The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky You will see your beauty every morning that you rise |
