Sunrise and the morning after
Sixth sense will guide the way
Hear the sound of children's laughter
Breaking through the day
Pale white sea-sick with worry
Father time is the enemy
These tears make my vision blurry
I could never see
We traveled so far, but we're not far enough
Oh this is so hard, so hard, so hard
Moving, slowly
I had no way of knowing
Asleep in the lake below outer space
They found you
Vega show us the way, your brightest mistake
We've lost you
Moonlight and the worst of habits
Broken glass sticking through my skin
A way out through the liquor cabinet
How do I begin
Another stop on this 10 year journey
Another truth that I've never told
What's left of a broken body
Lying in the cold
We traveled so far, but we're not far enough
Oh this is so hard, so hard, so hard
Moving, slowly
I had no way of knowing
Asleep in the lake below outer space
They found you
Vega show us the way, your brightest mistake
We've lost you
I close my eyes to see your smile
It turned into an evil grin
As you cut me up and down
A big enough space for you to crawl inside
And eat my life away
I just can't feel you here
Asleep in the lake below outer space
They found you
Vega show us the way, your brightest mistake
We've lost you
Asleep in the lake below outer space
They found you
I close my eyes to see your smile
It turned into an evil grin
As you cut me up and down
A big enough space for you to crawl inside
And eat my life away
Such a parasite you've become
No wonder my gut is full of glass
And at the same time feels nothing
I just can't feel you here
All this time I could've been asleep

I knew something was different that fateful August morning
The city streets were silent, never recognized the warning
I braved the smoke to find her.
The people began fleeing, with no where else to go
Here I was still searching, the ashes fell like snow
The Earth below was shaking
Are you out there somewhere, are you even alive?
Can you here me when I call you
Underneath the screaming
We're running out of time now
Hold me as the end approaches
One more night as lovers
I will never let you go
Now there's nothing left to do, no we're trapped here
I can't lie anymore
There's no sense in stretching the truth
Although I had a reason to
I hide my eyes
With the absence of hope there is wishing
(Oh my God)
I can't dream anymore
With black clouds and dust filled lungs
(What you've done)
We'll pray beneath the setting sun
Goodbye my love
(Oh my God)
Are you out there somewhere, are you even alive?
Can you here me when I call you
Underneath the screaming
We're running out of time now
Hold me as the end approaches
One more night as lovers
I will never let you go
Can you here me when I call you
(Can you hear me?)
Underneath the screaming
We're running out of time now
Hold me as the end approaches
(Please don't let go)
One more night as lovers
I will never let you go

What's In The Box?

Honey you know that I was born a king
And you'd be a fool not to wear my ring
I chewed you up now won't you please spit me out
This is the place that we both should be
Locked in a cage along an empty street
Fill up my glass until it shadows all doubt
What a waste if it all ended this way
A cowardly act a heavy price to pay
Won't you wake up I've got the gun to your head
It's funny how easily things can change
When I make the rules and we play my game
Are you afraid of anything that I've said?
We can cut it in pieces we can waste more time
You know I'll be the witness you can be the crime
Can you find your salvation,
Honey you need to face it,
You need to face the facts this time
You've been driving me crazy yes I'm losing my mind
We can sift through the wreckage see what we can find
Can you handle the madness are you looking for answers just keep taking your chances don't ask why
All of our plans seem to fall apart
Never an end if there was never a start
Can we flip back the page and erase what's there?
There is a truth we both can't ignore
Drawing the lines across the bedroom floor
What did you expect I never said I'd play fair
What a waste if it all ended this way
A cowardly act a heavy price to pay
Won't you wake up I've got the gun to your head
It's funny how easily things can change
When I make the rules and we play my game
Are you afraid of anything that I've said?
We can cut it in pieces we can waste more time
You know I'll be the witness you can be the crime
Can you find your salvation,
Honey you need to face it,
You need to face the facts this time
You've been driving me crazy yes I'm losing my mind
We can sift through the wreckage see what we can find
Can you handle the madness are you looking for answers just keep taking your chances don't ask why
Say you won't ask why.
Cut me, please cut me out
And I'll watch my mouth, I'll watch you
Cut, cut me, cut me out completely

I feel alive for the first time in a lifetime
Watch my heart explode
Will you be my refuge
Eyes as black as coal
Call off the rescue
I've been here before
The sky is dark this evening
Free from the lights of stars
No sound from any direction
I feel nothing
I see a distant hallway
Within a bright white light
As every perfect ending
I am smiling
I feel alive for the first time in a lifetime
Watch my heart explode
Will you be my refuge
Eyes as black as coal
Call off the rescue
I've been here before
Now I'm all twisted up like the noose in your bedroom
Hanging on every word that you said
When words aren't enough just do what I tell you
Ignore the killer that is in your head
I won't wake up. I won't wake up.
Watch my heart explode
Will you be my refuge
Eyes as black as coal
Call off the rescue
I've been here before
I've been here before

You Are Dead

Tonight's the night I'll watch you fall asleep
Piece by piece I'll carve you up so carefully
And all those times that he thought this out
He never knew, could not expect the type of person he found
This is gonna be, this is gonna be, the night.
All we are are pawns in a jealous game, are we not?
This is all for you and your foolish ways, what you got?
Watch the blood flow from empty hallways
Pray to Hell that there is something better than this
Reap what you sow while you are falling
Look into his eyes pretend he doesn't exist
And as he carries his severed head
Across one hundred forest miles to the grave that he dug
"This is gonna be, this is gonna be, your hole"
All we are are pawns in a jealous game, are we not?
This is all for you and your foolish ways, what you got?
Underneath the pale moonlight
I'll watch your body rot all night
You are dead, your blood is on my hands.
And I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry.
I'm sorry.

Coming up to seventeen
Been holding my breath since we left in the afternoon
Twenty minutes late for the train
Shouldn't have stopped at the shop but you wanted to
Waiting for the 8:15
Watching the clock while you talk about everything
Wake me up when it's time
I gotta sleep, gotta dream or I'll lose my mind
(Forget me please) You won't leave
(I hate this dream) Like the cold I've had for weeks and weeks
(Feelings will cease)You're killing me
(Changing the scene)
(Forget me please) So
(I hate this dream) Let me be
(Feelings will cease) The second act a sudden change of scenery
(Changing the scene)
Ooooh, the smile on your face
Could never quite hide your mistakes
I always saw this coming
I should have left at the end when you told me to
Ooooh, the storm it calms my nerves
It's not the drug that I prefer
I need a bitter pill and
Anything else that could help end the thought of you
Anything else that could help keep my mind subdued
Anything else that could help me disguise the truth
(Forget me please) You won't leave
(I hate this dream) Like the cold I've had for weeks and weeks
(Feelings will cease)You're killing me
(Changing the scene)
(Forget me please) So
(I hate this dream) Let me be
(Feelings will cease) The second act a sudden change of scenery
(Changing the scene)
If this is so bad, why are we still holding hands?
We said it was over, we both know that it's never been
Well you walked out the doorway and made your way into my head
I recalled it was raining, but not quite the words that you said
