Maybe this year
I will try harder
To push myself away from you
Go somewhere farther
The breeze up here's so cool
She's right in front of you
Listen to your voice
I like the way it sounds to me
The way that your tongue hits the back of your teeth
Keeps me up all night until the fan lulls me to sleep
Or Flaws; you have so many, don't you
Oh please listen to me why don't you
Maybe this year
I will try harder
To push myself away from you
Go somewhere farther
The breeze up here's so cool
She's right in front of you
And I know you know
This song's about you
I wouldn't try to hide it
With my arms around you
The breeze up here's so cool
She's right in front of you

Hey love, whats your name?
I've been stuck inside this cage.
Hey dark in my brain,
Your temptation is insane.
My fingers slide off
And the grip I had was lost;
The damage reveals the cost.
And do you think of me?
And do you think of me,
When you go to bed tonight?
And will you sing with me?
Oh baby sing with me.
(I'm gasping for my life)
Oh Woah!
And that bright plan didn't shine
Enough to make you want, enough to make you need,
Enough to make you come back home.
The smoke from your lungs.
It's getting harder for me to see,
why you're the one who I wished I need.
"Well don't look that sad!
It can't be that bad!
You know they gave you lips like that!"
You know I'm going mad but with a mind like that I can see.
(That I've got nothing!)
And do you think of me?
And do you think of me,
When you go to bed tonight?
And will you sing with me?
Oh baby sing with me.
And despite the spite I feel for you
I think you're beautiful and that shines through
Told me to make it home alright tonight
But a star shot through the cold that night
I made it to my door yeah, I'm alright
But sitting alone I realized, "I'm in two.."
And my heart is still with you
All right, all right!
Oh Woah!
Well hey love, love your name
But I'm stuck inside this cage
The key's right there, let me out
I don't wanna be a slave
Her fingers slide off
The gun

Addiction is painless
But if you could stay
Take chances we would whisper
Now, protect me from the waves
Oh my gosh feel her touch again
Just a question,
Can I trust you in the end?
What do you want?
What could you possibly?
"Dance!" we would sing
You don't know them anyway
"Take a hit!" we would scream
How long will that last you?
Addiction is pointless
And you only play
Getting stronger we would whisper
Now, protect from the shade
Oh my gosh I taste her lips again
I knew I could never love you in the end
I think I know
What you want with me
"Dance!" we would sing
You don't know them anyway
"Take a hit!" we would scream
How long will that last you?
Now please
Oh, protect me from the heat
Entice me with your gentle breeze
(Oh you never told me that you could change)
"Dance!" we would sing
You don't know them anyway
"Take a hit!"

Snow

Green blades of grass
Were tipped with frost
Eating at the structure
Eating at my heart
Moonlit icicles glisten
Shimmering in the pale moonlight
Bright just like your face
Didn't I'd know did you?
Didn't think I'd know that he was with you?
Oh I'm treading water while learning to breathe
As I cast my eyes
From the green to the red
Oh I'd rather be in bed
Cause you're only saying
What you wanted me to hear
And I'm feeling like
Like there's nothing here
Well I'm feeling like
I'm so far away from here
I just wanna know:
"Am I beautiful?"
And I only asked you once!
I'm saying I'm empty
I'm saying I'm cold
While you're saying
"No thanks, we're full!"
"Well it's not my problem;
Let it snow."

I know, I know you felt it too
Felt it too
I know, I know I saw you
Move mountains in two
Did you know?
I'd rip myself in two
I'd bleed for you
I know, I know you felt it
Felt it too
Moved in you
I saw, I saw you move yourself in two

Use your claws to pry me open
And take back what I had stolen
Sip Absinthe under the trees
Where I find You're away from me
And the shade keeps You away from Me
Use your claws to rip me open
And take back what I had stolen
Sip Absinthe under the trees
You're so cruel you mask of green
And Boy, these walls aren't Your home
Or the sound She makes when you left Her alone
With that white picket fence, concrete patio
We've been over this before
I'm not in pain, no
I'm just awake
So draw Your blade and draw Your blood
Then You'll comprehend what I speak of
Your love burns parallel
To a cigarette and when You're done
There's nothing left for Us
And We're left wanting more
"And if I can't be with You
My ship's been shot
Now I'm sinking faster
Than Your heart could throb!"
I'm not in pain, no
I'm just awake
And don't You tell me it didn't matter
Cause when You left Her world was fucking shattered
Don't Move

Whenever I decided to ignore, you
Suddenly give a shit
Like if you let me crawl inside your bed
We can make this emotion shift
The way I do to your stomach
I hope to God I make you sick
Your knees are bent
Your fists are clenched
Pick yourself up before
You lose your shit
You're so pretty I bet that you don't like me
I'll cut my hair and make myself enticing
I'm not that guy that you find so exciting
But I can sing for you, I guess
Can you feel it?
I feel your breath all over my skin
So I'll fall into your arms
To keep it all from caving in
And I won't pick up
You're probably just drinking
We can say we didn't touch and pretend it's all okay
Well it's okay if it's okay with you
I never mattered anyway
How can I trust you when my eyes won't open
I once saw you clear now the glass has been broken
I held out my hand for the moment
You set it on fire, now my heart's swollen
You're so pretty I bet your friends won't like me
I'll lose some weight and maybe you'll come find me
What make him so goddamn exciting?
Well I can sing for you, I'll try!
Can you feel it?
I feel your breath all over my skin
So I'll fall into your arms
To keep it all from caving in
And I won't pick up
You're probably just drinking
I thought I was the strong one
But let's give it up for you
It sucks that I'm still in love
And I'm in love
No I don't love you
But yes I meant it
Don't blame me
This wasn't my intention
It's funny to me how
You're just dying to be her

Stay quiet and fall into something a little more subtle
So they won't notice your body falling back to ground
Put me in a position I can't deal with you gone
Oh I would laugh at a world that could not test
Problems building in my head
The guests have all gone
Without making a toast
To their generous host
You were too far away
From that sacred place
"Oh drink more, please drink more.
Oh won't you ingest more?"
Good to know they think it's all a game
And in the end you're just another name
We can stay here I promise we can stay here and wait
Till the waves wash our bodies to shore
And I promise you that I'll remember you knew the pain was really there
Your heart in the ground will grow like a seed of love
Our hearts will love
The guests have all gone
Without making a toast
To their generous host
You were too far away
From that sacred place
"Oh drink more, please drink more.
Oh won't you inject more?"
It doesn't bother me at all
(If I can keep repeating this line
If I scream it loud enough
Could I eat this cancer up?)
And maybe make it sound believable
So explode
You fell down to your knees
But when you did my darling
You were brighter than anything I've ever seen
So maybe this time they'll listen
To preserve something as beautiful as
You.

Daddy doesn't like it when she's got the cigarette
On the edge of her lip on the tip of falling over
Oh, but he doesn't know about the list
Where she leaves her lipstick
In writing's just about all the boy's
She's got undone
Kiss me with a mouth full of sugar
Shut your mouth and shake your hips
You know you're always great when you use your lips
I feel distain at least it masks the pain
So I'll wait till it all comes crashing down on you again
I'll snap a neck for every time you mentioned his name too
Not like it even fucking mattered. Can you feel too?
And you upstaged a smile that I thought was friendly
Then you pulled out your dull knife
You're so goddamn deadly
Shut your mouth and shake your hips
You know you're always great when you use your lips
I feel distain at least it masks the pain
So I'll wait till it all comes crashing down on you again
And when she speaks she brings a sweet breeze
Oh, I know, I know, brother. It makes you weak in your knees
But please don't throw yourself against the waves
When she winces at the wind
The salt is choking up your skin
Punch me in face, won't you sugar?
Make me bleed!
Shut your mouth and shake your hips
You know you're always great when you use your lips
I feel distain at least it masks the pain
So I'll wait till it all comes crashing down on you again

Take away your useless eyes
Your twisting cries
I feel alive
When I feel my heart arise
I feel this sigh I'm waiting.
