[rise against]
.:everchanging:.
in the face of change is when she turned to me and said, "i'm not sure anymore..."
and there amidst the waves and the cloudless skies that blanket the year before i watch my life wash ashore
have you ever been a part of something that you thought would never end? and then of course it did
have you ever felt the weight inside you pulling away inside your skin? and then something had to give
now the lines are drawn is this feeling gone? the best parts of this have come and gone and now that is all this is
with the reasons clear we'll spend another year without direction, full of fear but now things will be different
there's nothing simple when it comes to you and i always something in this everchanging life and it probably always will now that time is getting harder to come by the same arguments are always on our mind we've killed this slowly fading light
now something has kept me here too long and you can't leave me if i'm already gone
make the same mistakes we're always hanging on break the promises we're always leaning on all this time spent waking up now i keep this line open to get this call from you as you speak the words that keep me coming back to you now this time it's all different
now something has kept me here too long and now i'm gone... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [bright eyes]
.:Something Vague:.
Now and then it seems worse than it is, but mostly the view is accurate. You see your breath in the air while you climb up the stairs to that coffin you call your apartment. And you sink in your chair, brush the snow from your hair and drink the cold away. You are not really sure what you are doing this for but you need something to fill up the days. A few more hours. There is a dream in my brain that just won't go away. It has been stuck there since it came a few nights ago I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived as a kid with my mom and my brothers. And then the bridge disappears and I'm standing on air with nothing holding me. And I hang like a star, fucking glow in the dark, for all those starving eyes to see, like the ones we've wished on. But now I'm confused. Is this death really you? Do these dreams have any meaning? No. No, I think it is more like a ghost that has been following us both. Something vague that we are not seeing, something more like a feeling. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [bright eyes]
.:It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends:.
Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek Yeah, you still kiss me sometimes, but it's just on the cheek You pull away so easily
And I still call you, but I get your machine And I still call you, but I get your machine And if I'm lucky I guess, I get your roommate answering But you're at the bar, or at Gene's
And we go to dinner, but you won't hold my hand We sit at the same table, but we don't play with our feet Yeah, we still go to dinner sometimes, but we don't sneak a kiss When the waitress turns around
And we still watch movies, but we don't share the couch And we still rent movies, but we don't share the couch Yeah, we still watch movies sometimes, but you don't lay in my lap The plot is slow, take a nap
And you even stay over, but now we stay in our clothes Yeah, you'll even sleep over, but now we stay in our clothes Yeah, you even sleep over sometimes, but we stay in our clothes I'm only there so that you're not alone
And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, but let's contrast and compare Lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there
I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies I guess your kind of truth, is just the ghost of your lies Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies I see through them all the time So I'm pouring some whiskey, I'm gonna get drunk Yeah, I'm pouring myself some whiskey, I'm going to get really fucking drunk I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so, so drunk That I pass out, forget your face, by the time I wake up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [starting line]
.:Saddest Girl Story:.
So it's safe to say that we've been here before; Heart torn out, down for the count and still come back for more. This lesson is learned too well. Though, only unlearned by the time your wounds have healed. Have you had enough? I guess not because your lips are stuck to his. It's Time to say enough is enough, you would be so better off. You love him but tough because it's not coming back from him. You can't win. Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on. Take a look around, you could have anyone. So leave undeserving him. It only hurts at first. But then you will find someone to give you everything you want. Try not to go running back to him. So it goes unsaid that we've been here before. Lonely nights and endless fights and sleeping on the floor. And he's sorry, so the story goes. It's read and replayed and ends the same way Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on. Take a look around, you could have anyone. So leave undeserving him. Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on. Take a look around, you could have anyone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [the early november]
.:Just Enough:.
I know, that time moves faster when you're sleeping. And I know, it's not too good for me. Because when I wake up, I'm all alone.
It's just enough for me to fall in love with you. And I wake up, time and time again, With nothing here for proof.
If I have to wake up one more time, Without you and these ugly red eyes. I hate the bright blue sky, to greet me in the morning, Rather than your arms.
It's just enough for me to fall in love with you. And I wake up, time and time again, With nothing of you forever. I need you to be with me, Dreams can only keep happy for so long. And I will wait, my love. I promise to do to right, For just one moment to be alone with you.
I see us standing there, Holding something in our hands. I see an open door, I see us walking in.
We're walking up the stairs, We're walking up the stairs, We're walking up the stairs, We're walking up the stairs, Into our room.
Waking up can be so hard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [wakefield]
.:In The End:.
I've never met someone quite like you sorry for what I've done and put you through we were together that night when it all went wrong Heaven's coming
she moves over and slides her hand in mine the wheel slips and we cross the double lines we were together that night when it all went wrong Heaven's coming
we finally came to a stop on the other side you were still in the car so where was I somebody wake me up I swear I must be dreaming this cant be happening I feel her screaming
in the end
don't cry tonight and I know that it will be alright don't cry tonight you're still with me
now I'm older, still lonely but you're by my side I cant help but get choked up break down and cry held your last breath in my hands but I let it go God forgive me
in the end in the end
don't cry tonight and I know that it will be alright don't cry tonight you're still with me
don't cry tonight and I know that it will be alright don't cry tonight you're still with me you're still with me ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [silverstein]
.:Bleeds No More:.
My heart bleeds no more; now, it's been turned to stone. You're stomach feels sick for someone else. I've broken both my legs falling for you. Drag me on the ground.
Powerless I stand, tarnished blade, cutting through, pushed into my vein. Blood still stains my hands. Sharpening my sense of pain outside, my heart bleeds no more.
My heart bleeds no more; now, it's been turned to stone. You're stomach feels sick for someone else. I've broken both my legs falling for you. Drag me on the ground.
Killing everything off inside. Make sense of everything you tried to hide, hide from me.
My heart bleeds no more; now, it's been turned to stone. My stomach feels sore from cutting up. I ruined all my sanctity for you. Smash me on the ground.
I wanted to, convince myself there's nothing else to do. I wanted to. Provide you with proof of what you put me through. I wanted to. Pretend that I was you. "your the worst thing thats ever happend to me" "dieee"
Killing everything off inside. Make sense of everything you tried to hide, hide from me.
My heart bleeds no more; now, it's been turned to stone. You're stomach feels sick for someone else. I've broken both my legs falling for you. Smash me on the ground. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [matchbook romance]
.:Playing For Keeps:.
It's so simple and complicated. The way you can crush me. No matter how much this hurts, this is through. I get as far as your door before i get caught. I make up excuses just to touch you and I can't stop, I can't stop. So are we playing for keeps. The days begin and they don't end for weeks. Leave me left out of anyting to do with you. Excuse me while I fall apart. Don't flatter yourself sweetheart. Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car. Why do you have to make this so hard? You're so good at pretending everything is alright. You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [matchbook romance]
.:My Eyes Burn:.
My eyes burn from these tears You think you'd learn over these years Good things won't last forever
So what the hell am I suppose to do You only wanted the things I couldn't give to you And you had it all anyway
So take take everything and leave me scrambling Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
So take take everything and leave me scrambling Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
Tell me i'm wrong when I say I can't expect you to stay forever with me I live for that single moment
I take back everything i've said You would those words on your lips As if they meant anything anyway
Sometimes I feel I could drop off the face of the earth It seems I do more harm than good And I don't know if it's worth me loosing sleep over this
So take take everything and leave me scrambling Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
So take take everything and leave me scrambling Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
Tell me I'm wrong when I say it I can't expect you to spend forever with me I live for that single moment
So take take everything and leave me scrambling Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [brand new]
.:The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows:.
We saw the western coast. I saw the hospital. Nursed the shoreline like a wound. Reports of lover's trysts. Were neither clear nor descript. We kept it safe and slow. The quiet things that no one ever knows.
Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground. Today's the day it gets tired. Today's the day we drop out. Gave up my body and bed. All for an empty hotel. Wasted words on lowercases and capitals.
I contemplate the day we wed. Your friends are boring me to death. The veil is ruined in the rain. But then you I could do without. There's nothing new to talk about. And though our kids are blessed, the parents let them shoulder all the blame.
Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground. Today's the day it gets tired. Today's the day we drop out. Gave up my body and bed. All for an empty hotel. Wasted words on lowercases and capitals.
I lie for only you. And I lie well. Halleluh.
Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground. Today's the day it gets tired. Today's the day we drop out. Gave up my body and bed. All for an empty hotel. Wasted words on lowercases and capitals.
