Raise up the ghosts of the dead I won't die like them Push past the point of raw emotion I will breathe Exist with a broken spirit I will die complete Ignore what the angels say Enjoy that special place where the demons speak to me I won't pick out the lining of my coffin yet Unless I am sure that color satin is me Better yet go with crushed velvet That way I'll be damn sure to enjoy eternity My daily life writes the eulogy Engraved on tombstone diaries Laid to rest with the passing of time Seems to me that even love can die And the rituals, that fade away And the roses that cease to be laid And to me it clearly appears that We're already one foot in A very shallow grave I will love with passion You live like you're dead I will love with passion You live like you're dead I will love with passion As each day dies, are we living on to the next Or passing on in the twilight As each day dies, are we living on to the next Or passing on in the twilight As each day dies, are we living on to the next Or passing on in the twilight

Crystal clear I see the rose is frail The thorns hide easily in its beauty As I go to grasp it in my hand My heart is torn beating from my chest Let me be captivated By your beauty Then let me fall from your grace Unto my broken knees Close my eyes so tightly The tears are welling up You aren't worth the waste Of the salt or the water Watch the sun play in your hair And I couldn't really care Care any less about you Watch the sun play in your hair I couldn't really care Care any less about you Fuck all your false beauty It was transparent just like your smile, liar Your thorns caress my flesh Crimson drops on a snowy field, liar I have watched you retrogress I seen what you've become, liar Please take your eyes off of me It's funny how fast blue eyes fade to gray, liar Let me be captivated by your beauty And then let me fall from your grace Unto my broken knees Close my eyes so tightly The tears are welling up You aren't worth the waste Of the salt or the fucking water And you are deceit Just wither away, real beauty is forever in you Just wither away, real beauty is forever in you Just wither away, real beauty is forever in you Just wither away, real beauty is forever in you

Lie! Sometimes this beauty is choking me But at least it's your hands at my throat Your lashes brush against my cheek Coupled with your breath on my neck The world around you falls away and I will still be there I know my words are like daggers but they cut me too And I am sorry for all the fucked up things I say I didn't mean it And I never realized that I can be what I hate Let's be happy with what we have, enjoy the beauty in these days Sometimes we'll laugh sometimes we'll scream no one said caring was easy I know there was a time when emotions felt like pulling teeth Sometimes I felt so soulless I couldn't even look at me It's pathetic to hate who you are and it feels like hell to change But I'll be damned if I push you away And I am sorry for all the fucked up things I say I didn't mean it And I never realized that I can be what I hate Let's be happy with what we have, enjoy the beauty in these days Sometimes we'll laugh sometimes we'll scream no one said caring was easy I remember when my dreams were dying And I damned the sun, I damned the sun to pieces I carved hateful thoughts into my chest Then you took my hand and nothing has ever felt the same And nothing has ever Nothing has ever felt the same

Taking back every word that I said Taking back every word that I said You were so euphoric I saw... the future in your eyes A cascade of emotion brings me to... the summit of defeat My trust was misplaced like the truth... in a sea of lies You're more content barefoot on coals Than to deal... with feelings trapped inside You're trapped inside Trapped inside, coalesce distrust personified Fear unrealized, will paint the future black as night Just let go, have you felt what it is to fly Soar above, the right path is never justified They wouldn't ever affect you, you promised And you lied you were strong enough to make your own decisions But evidently your own two feet just weren't enough to stand on Tell me how I should feel after what you just said Tell me how I should feel after what you just said... How should I feel after what you just said... Tell me how should I feel after what you just said... How should I feel after what you just said... How should I feel after what you just said... You are nothing You mean nothing You are nothing Just like a child, I wish I could close my eyes And you would dissipate Just like a child, I wish I could close my eyes Let my tears evaporate Please stay away from me You've done far too much harm

Starving, searching this barren wasteland Trying to grasp being this alone Pleading for a breath of fresh air, someone's standing on my chest Dying I'm asphyxiating myself (I kill myself) Break myself, slave to my weakness, choke on my words Oh I'm drowning and I feel so alone Break myself, slave to my weakness, choke on my words The lights are on and I wish I was home Break myself, slave to my weakness, choke on my words Oh I'm drowning and I feel so alone Break myself, slave to my weakness, choke on my words The lights are on and I wish I was home My lips are screaming pretty nothings My ears are bleeding for want of words (Fuck words I need actions) Hope has left me fucking shattered Someone's standing on my chest Alone would be a pleasant change from here Go! How do you gauge loneliness? How do you gauge loneliness? How do you gauge loneliness? Have you ever felt so alone? It feels like the light will never reach me here I am choking back my longing for shed tears So strangulated by my lonesome fears Please don't worry too much It only hurts when I breathe This only hurts every time I breathe (When I breathe) It only hurts when I breathe
