Accidents and Gravity

there was a crash,
violent white splintered through my eyes
and there was the glass,
violent red splinters from the sky
well what are you waiting for?
what, oh, what are you waiting for?

watch the incident in slow motion
watch the metal burn and break,
everything just happened for a reason
we'll never know, we'll watch it fade

and there was a crash
i hit the sandbar but I'm still sinking
waves rolled in,
swept the tide and white away from here
swept the sand and blood against my screaming ears,
what are you waiting for?
what oh, what are you waiting for?

watch the incident in slow motion
watch the wood burn and break,
everything just happened for a reason
we'll never know, we'll watch it fade

tell me all your secrets and i'll keep them
tell me all yoru lies and i'll believe them
but I've gotta keep moving,
i've gotta keep moving if i want to keep breathing
tell me all the ways you hurt
your broken bones and shattered heart
in the back of the ambulance,
they said "you've gotta keep moving if you want to keep breathing"

watch the incident in slow motion
(in the back of the ambulance)
watch the metal burn and break,
(you'ev gotta keep moving)
everything just happened for a reason
(in the back of the ambulance)
we'll never know, we'll watch it fade
(if you, if you want to keep breathing)

St. Valentine's Day Massacre

well i finally know what it's like to be alone
on a valentine's day
no chocolate or candy or pink roses that say
you're the one, the best or my only
and that should be a sad song but all i can say (is)

the day after is just the same,
every rose still has it's name
it's just the same as any other day
and it's just the same to me

went for a walk to clear my head
got halfway through and said "I think I understand,"
watched the sun come up for another day
stood on the balcony and watched some dogs play
looked at the clouds, overcast and gray
thought to myself

the day after is just the same,
every rose still has it's name
it's just the same as any other day
and it's just the same to me

well we haven't had a rain like this in months
wash away the deeds and mistrust
stood out in it and watched it pour
looked around said "boy i hope we're in for more,"
checked into my mental state
they told me eevrything had changed
asked the doctor what had been the cure
he looked at me "son just pray we're in for more."
we're in for more, we're in for more, we're in for more.

the day after is just the same,
every rose still has it's name
it's just the same as any other day
and it's just the same to me

the sky breathed in gave it one last try,
enough to make sure that nothing's dry
said I'll do what I can, boy, I'll do what I can,
but I had to make sure things stayed the same
for valentine's day, for valentine's day
went for a walk to clear my head,
got halfway through and said "i think i understand"

crunch time, punch time

well you're the only thing that I see,
and it's complicated, it's complicated,
but I can't feel this from anyone
no one else but you, see,
but it's complicated, see, complicated...

and i said i doubt you know what you've been missing
shameless degrees of separation
counting your distance from me
every second getting further away

these days, these trials and misdeeds,
come on you used to give it away
you used to give it away
all those times i fought the pain,
when it was blue pills or red pills
but you're the drug i need
come on you used to give it away
you used to give this away

and i said i doubt you know what you've been missing
shameless degrees of separation
counting your distance from me
every second getting further away,
you used to give this away

coffee's only there to pretend to keep you up
when you sleep all day to avoid the pain, reality,
coffee's only there to pretend to keep you up
but i don't give a fuck, said I don't give a fuck...

and i said i doubt you know what you've been missing
shameless degrees of separation
counting your distance from me
every second getting further away

"I still fucking love her, bro."

as soon as I'm ready to give up
you pull me back in like a hurricane
a weather pattern, compliment my fucked up stature
and i said i'll walk home it was more like a stagger
because i'm ready to give up

and i said I'm not the strong one here
let me show you all the scars i laid there
but i just want to see you smile
and if i'll i've gotta do is swallow these...

said it was more like a stagger, drunken charm
swagger and pass her and i'll just sit right here
if i was doing something right someone would have told me tonight
if i was doing this right you'd be holding my hand tonight
it was more like a stagger, drunken charm

and i said I'm not the strong one here
let me show you all the blues i used to spill there
but if all i've gotta do to see you smile
is lay down here and die for a while

well it takes two to believe
and fewer will leave you alone
nothing says i love you like no one saying i love you
and it takes two to believe but you seemed to lose your faith
it takes two to believe, and it takes two to believe
and you seemed to lose your faith

well i said i'm not the strong one here
let me show you all the reds i used to spill here
and all i wanna do is make you smile
so i'll lay down here and die for a while

She's more like a gateway drug

for the longest you were my cocaine,
expensive and addicting
and I'm relapsing again
Said I don't need you
but we both know that's the other way around
said i could forget you
but we both know that's the other way around

shoot me up, breathe me in,
do whatever you have to to feel alive again
shoot me up, breathe me in,
do whatever you have to to feel alive again

and these cigarettes don't taste the same
without you around
and talking bout a war
I'll waste the time while you're in town
and until you are, it's whiskey shots in the cheapest bars
i said it's whiskey shots, in the cheapest bars...

shoot me up, breathe me in,
do whatever you have to to feel alive again
shoot me up, oh baby breathe me in,
do whatever you have to to feel alive again

well you can fall and fade
there's plenty other stars in the sky
and baby you were the best one they made
just do another line and call it a night

because for the longest you were my cocaine
expensive and addicting
and i'm gonna relapse again
and again and again and again

shoot me up, breathe me in,
do whatever you have to to feel alive again
shoot me up, breathe me in,
do whatever you have to to feel alive again

but you already do that anyway, don't you.

Something made my heart break

and someone made my lungs ache

and maybe when i'm done serenading all your pain away

and maybe when i'm done singing all my smiles away

well I've been staring at mirrors and breaking glares

and all i wanna do is get you lonely, lonely, lonely

breaking down and crying from all these scares

and all i wanna do is get you lonely, lonely, lonely

up from the dirt and lacking any worth

and i've got a pocket full of broken glass

just to pick all the blood from my shirt

falling away from anything you used to say

i've got a spot where my heart used to pass

for something that used to convey

well i've been staring at mirrors and breaking glass

all i wanna do is get you lonely, lonely, lonely

break you down and  bottle up the cries over past

and all i wanna do is get you lonely, lonely, lonely

drive, drive, drive, babe

and get alone

drive, drive, drive, babe

sink like a stone

drive, drive, drive, babe

and get alone,

drive, drive, drive, babe

help me break something

other than bones

because something made my heart break

and someone made my lungs ache

and something forced my hand's stake

and something made my heart break

well I've been staring at mirrors and breaking glares

and all i wanna do is get you lonely, lonely, lonely

breaking down and crying from all these scares

well i've been staring at mirrors and breaking glass

all i wanna do is get you lonely, lonely, lonely

break you down and  bottle up the cries over past

An Ascetic In a World of Extravagance

if you're the fire in my heart
then I'm just the smoke in your lungs
breathe me in and watch me fade away singing...
but a better anology would have to be
you're all the smoke in my lungs
always there, keeping me aware, aware, aware...

well she said what she said
and it's not the words i care about
too fucked up to remember the eact quote anyhow
I can't remember, can't remember...

and if you're the music in my bones
just keep playing so i can keep strumming
if you're the fractures, crumpled stature
then let me sit up straight for just this once
just this once, oh, just this once

well she said what she said
and it's not the words i care about
too fucked up to remember the eact quote anyhow
I can't remember, can't remember, can't remember...

And I can't remember the words
but I've got you in my lungs
breathing in your air like all the words i wish i'd sung
and i want this to be clever
something at least you'll remember
but all i've got is all the words i wish i'd sung

but if my body's just here to be a safehouse
for you to lie and run your mouth
then you're in my lungs, in my bones,
all the fractures and cancers
now i'm sinking like a stone, a stone, a stone

well she said what she said
and it's not the words i care about
too fucked up to remember the eact quote anyhow
I can't remember, can't remember....
