So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
So far away from where you are
I'm standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here
I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here
I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Dead center, in the middle of nowhere,
Coma existence, surrounded by the living dead
There is no hope, there is no tomorrow
You took our world and you bled it dry
These are the last days of planet earth,
We will be there when they realize the truth
We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousel
These are the last days of planet earth
Victims of a defective genepool
Soulless existence forever in pointless directions
Out of tune with true evolution
There are no answers, there is no solution
Abandon hope, ye pitiful ones. Embrace defiance and relent another day.
Cheated and lied, broken so bad
You made a vow, never get mad
You play the game, though it's unfair
They're all the same, who can compare?
First you lose trust, then you get worried
Night after night, bar after club
Dropping like flies, who woke you up
On the front lawn, sprinklers turned on
It's not your house, where'd you go wrong?
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
To wait around forever when, you were there first
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry
There comes a time, in a short life
Turn it around, get a rewrite
Call it a dark, night of the soul
Ticking of clocks, gravity’s pull
First you get close, then you get worried
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
To wait around forever when, you were there first
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry
You're going silent, the silent treatment
It's not inviting now, don't deny what you meant
You get excited, you get excited
You got a feel it, oh, at least you can pretend
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
You get excited, you get excited
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
To wait around forever when, you were there first
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
To wait around forever when, you were there first
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
It seems to me,
This thing is breaking down.
We almost never speak.
I don't feel welcome anymore.
And I stare at the phone.
He still hasn't called.
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothing at all.
And you flash back to when he said forever and always.
And it rains in your bedroom.
Everything is wrong.
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone.
I was there when you said forever and always.
You didn't mean it baby.
I looked into your eyes.
Thought I knew you for a minute.
Now I'm not so sure.
So here's to everything coming down to nothing.
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core.
Where is this going?
Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore.
Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak.
Sometimes it just means you're strong enough to let go.
He greets me with kisses
When good days deceive him
And sometimes with scorn
And sometimes I believe him
And sometimes I'm convinced that my friends think I'm crazy
I get scared and call him but he's usually hazy.
At one in the morning the day has not ended
By two he is scared that sleep is no friend
And by four he will drink but he cannot feel it
Sleep will not come because sleep does not will it
And I don't believe him,
Morning is mocking me.
And the gods that he believes
Never fail to amaze me.
I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins.
I can't control you, I don't know you well,
These are the reasons I think that you're ill.
I can't control you, I don't know you well,
These are the reasons I think that you're ill.
And since last time we parted, last that I saw him,
Down by a river, silent and hardened
Morning was mocking us
Blood hit the sky
I was just happy my manic and I.
He couldn't see me the sun was in his eyes.
And birds were singing to calm us down,
And birds were singing to calm us down.
And I'm sorry young man I cannot be your friend
I don't believe in a fairytale end.
I don't keep my head up all of the time,
I find it dull when my heart meets my mind.
And I hardly know you I think I can tell
These are the reasons I think that we're ill.
I hardly know you I think I can tell
These are the reasons I think that I'm ill.
And the gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me.
The gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me.
My nihilist, my happy man, my manic and I
Have no plans to move on.
But birds are singing to calm us down,
And birds are singing to calm us down.
Let us go then you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky, like a patient etherized upon a table
- T.S. Elliot
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever And ever
Who knew...
Remember when we were such fools And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again I wish I could still call you friend I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how I was all wrong They knew better Still you said forever And ever Who knew
Yeah yeah I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again And I won't forget you my friend What happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kisshug I'll cherish
Until we meet again And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory You visit me in my sleep My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling I miss you
My darling
Who knew Who knew..
Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep,
I'm tired and I,
I want to go to bed.
Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep,
And then leave me alone,
Don't try to wake me in the morning cause I will be gone.
Don't feel bad for me,
I want you to know,
Deep in the cell of my heart I will feel so glad to go.
Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep,
I don't want to wake up on my own anymore.
Sing to me,
Sing to me,
I don't want to wake up on my own anymore.
Don't feel bad for me,
I want you to know.
Deep in the cell of my heart,
I really want to go.
There is another world,
There is a better world,
Well, there must be,
Well, there must be,
Well, there must be,
Well, there must be,
Well...
Bye bye,
Bye bye,
Bye...
Oh god I want to hear you say,
I want to hear you say that you were wrong again
This is the first thing
I have understood:
Time is the echo of an axe
Within a wood.
I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don’t know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn’t been so clean
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away I want blood, guts and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake
Yeah, I wish I’d been a, wish I’d been a teen, teen idle
Wish I’d been a prom queen fighting for the title Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I’ve come alive
I wanna be a virgin pure
A 21st century whore
I want back my virginity
So I can feel infinity
I wanna drink until I ache
I wanna make a big mistake I want blood, guts and angel cake
I’m gonna puke it anyway
Yeah, I wish I’d been a, wish I’d been a teen, teen idle
Wish I’d been a prom queen fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I’ve come alive
Come alive, I’ve come alive
I wish I wasn’t such a narcissist
I wish I didn’t really kiss
The mirror when I’m on my own Oh, God! I’m gonna die alone Adolescence didn’t make sense
A little loss of innocence The ugly years of being a fool
Ain’t youth meant to be beautiful?
Yeah, I wish I’d been a, wish I’d been a teen, teen idle
Wish I’d been a prom queen fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I’ve come alive
Only to find I’ve come alive
Only to find I’ve come alive
Come alive
I wanna be everything that I'm not
I wanna be rich, I wanna show off.
Just a desperado with a sour twist
It will all come sweet on your lips
'Cause I'm in love so old
Put your flowers down, it's too cold
**** your romance, I wanna pretend
That Jenny Lee Lindberg is my girlfriend
With the sun on my back it's a nice day
I will never choose any other way
With the sun on my back it's a nice day
I will never choose any other way
I need to come up to see my friends
I need to come down to feeling the same
I know I aren't cool right now
I was high as a fool I'm outta sight yeah
Oh god I want to hear you say,
I want to hear you say that you were wrong again
This is the first thing
I have understood:
Time is the echo of an axe
Within a wood.
You bought a star in the sky tonight
Because your life is dark
And it needs some light
You named it after me but I'm not yours to keep
Because you'll never
See that the stars are free
Yeah, you know only how to own me
You know only how to own me You're buying stars to shut out the light
We come alone and alone we die
And no matter how hard you try
I'll always belong in the sky
Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend
Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend
Took me for granted
But call it love if you will
I'm aware of this
I did let you in
Sink for you to swim
Dancing on the ledge
Tried to let you stay
I did let you win
Broke to what became
Became you & me
Try to mend it but
I can't bend the truth
Bricks are caving in
Oh how sweet this sin
I left you the keys
You won't let me in
Left me on the floor
Now I'm at the shore
Here's change you can keep
Sold yourself too cheap
Thought you got away
This here ends today
You thought hell was hard
Let me show you now
This time I will be
Louder than my words
Walk with lessons that
Oh, that I have learnt
Show the scars I've earned
In the light of day
Shadows will be found
I will hunt them down
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
