And there you were, fixed on a distant memory
While everyone around you voted plain
You jump around us, sweet as can be
And no one knows you, so amazed inside your world
But I know that place inside of you
I couldn’t care what you bring, have to be held if the birds don’t sing
Made it this far, good for you, you’re fascinated
You are the star of the room, playing your part will dissolve real soon
Helps you survive, very true, you’re overrated
With the least amount of time, you’re the leader of the game
And without it, you’d go crazy
I would adore being you, but so often think you’re through
Any day now, you’ll lose that vanity
I’ve got the key to watch you fold
You don’t know who you are.

Queen of every last parade
But there’s always something you have to cry about
Rotten, tainted
Pouting like it’s gone out of style
I would’ve waited but my patience faded
Cause you didn’t even try
You sit there staring right at me
You make your quick analogies, then I’m tossed away
I don’t understand you at all
Saving face for you is a simple formality
l don’t understand you at all
Your act grows old, better think and look at yourself
You’ve just built your wall
Just look at yourself.
Living by the rights of denial
You will not, cannot bargain a chance to win
Burning envy
Refuse to be part of your trial
You don’t even know when you’re burning out
Living on a cloud
Spent countless hours by the phone
You said you needed time alone, every single day
You took life slowly out of me
And I know I’d rather be going where I’m bound
I’m stating the reality
Taking what’s left inside of me
I won’t be your world’s clown
I don’t really like you at all
You’ve just created your own formality
I don’t really like you at all

Downwards is where I’m going
It’s a place I’ve made my home
Need to figure out the things that I will say to you
Well, I just want to make it real
I’ve been down that road before
I am tired out, wish I could just decide
You and I, not the same as before
Can’t stop screaming from the inside
Since you’ve gone, you’re still the one I adore
I wish you well, but I miss you so
Our points of view, never clarified
We always dealt with things that way
I have no trust in all the things that you have said and done for me
I’ve been down that road before
I am tired out, sick of just getting by

Give (Remix)

Hold your goodbyes, we made you brave
Took our whole lives to rid the cradle, to this day
So apt to gain from the choices we made
After all no comfort found,
Proof from the tears that still surround your letter
I would give it all to you
It’s needless to say I’d be there
I would give it all to you
Part of me dies, but I’ll still hang on
Cause we held you.
With every hour you found the truth
Culled from notes, the samples of remembered youth
Right till the moment on the doorstep, we tried.
Twenty years still in the womb,
Rest of our time becoming soon, forever.
Inside this room, we laughed insane
Re-acting the wonders.
Made up to redeem my failures
Found answers from the inside
But I’ve hit the wall this time
I beg of you, be my friend.

When morning came it felt so wrong
You’d be standing by the phone
Let it sit in your mind and rewind it
There was no ease from the fainted lies
It crushed you, but it gave you something
In the end you wouldn’t believe, forgiving was a weakness
Why won’t it go away?
Here we are, the reasons for
Search a million miles a day
Living by the memories created
We never said much, but it didn’t mean a thing at all
Feels I couldn’t miss you more
I’ll wait.
Lie awake, I play our song
Pictures covering the wall
Here comes the breeze to relieve my fixation
It’s been quiet for so long
It sought you, but it gave you something
Still you could not believe, giving was the greatness
Welcome to the memories
We had it all

Play the song, the voice makes you render
A plead to devote it, you’ll be pleased to know
I don’t care, that’s right
Can’t restrain that feeling
My song is on the radio
Airwaves are crashin’, play it forever
My song is on the radio
Transistor fades in, blastin’, relating now
Drive, my song is on.
All seats are worn in, the day shines for better
Let us drive the mile, we’ll pass it on
A reprise when it’s over, you’ll be pleased to know
I don’t care, that’s right
Can’t restrain that feeling
My song is on the air
Free your mind and wait for your favorite
Signing on to radio
Let’s ride till we bring the sun in
You light your cigarette as dusk glows
Reset and turn around, oblige us to stay
Sun’s up, take on tomorrow

Every weekday afternoon, she sips her tea like it’s gold, what a star
No better picture describes you
Her precious friends will gather soon,
Redound by all the bliss and well fed
The day will stop, resign from thoughts, running low on desire
That’s your reason, that’s your treason,
Back to reaving long past trends
To be overwhelmed by a sin, tear the hangman’s game,
Watch it end
Wasn’t it true, wept so raffishly?
Pointed at you, were you torn to pieces?
How does it feel? Watch me gracefully
Now that it’s you, how does it feel?
You buy them out and laugh together
The tempered thief you play
The dullest life that offers no return
You’d shatter and die, no one residing beside you
It’s truce at it’s best, so surreal, that is all you’ve learned
Clearly, you guard it well
All that splendor’s divine, makes your noose
Wasn’t it true, wept so raffishly?
Pointed at you, were you torn to pieces?
How does it feel?
You don’t need it cause you’re no good
Everyone’s divided
To the bone I’ve earned this salving, and nothing less
It’s over with
Like nobody else could be,
You guard it well in your favor, you’ll have it your way

Things were so good with you then, but what was there to keep?
So many things remembered, your lame analogies dug our hole
You were not there for me.
And so, it always felt like drowning in my sleep
The thought of you just messed with my head
I lost all sight.
I don’t care about the sunshine, taking on the world outside
And whatever makes your life worth happening
As long as you’re not here with me.
Your lies brought pain, embracing your charades
You’re made of stone, but you’ll fall.
You seemed so excited leaving me mislead
We were so divided, oversight, but I stayed for the ride
Don’t own this body.
