Caught up, I don't really trust anyone
Lost sleep, I don't really love anyone
Alone, the voices tell me I'm not
So cold
The faces tell me it's hot outside
But do I really need fresh air?
I don't know
I don't really care

I reluctantly close the door, and stumble through the night
But I can't find home anymore, I can't find the light
This fragile ground is scorched by the failures of our past
And our present is no different
And the future is coming on fast
So if you can't take one more pointless fight
I know I can't take one more cautious night
I can't take on more red eye flight, just to find you lost and hopeless
I say if the sky falls down before we get back, and all the miles between us hurt so bad
If I just can't stand to walk out your door
Then we'll stay right here
We'll find our way home tonight
You're my home tonight

Don't cause a scene, everything you see it's yours
Don't be obscene, everything we've been and abhorred
Cast aside, your chains and your part time
Don't give away, your money or your time
Your time is now
Our time is dwindling down
This is our dying breath
Your only sin
I don't know where to begin
This is our living death
You're perfectly, amazingly more than I can bear
I'm a sickly little creature, that's tangled up in your hair
I see you every night in my dreams, but it's not enough
And I'm in love with every single cell that makes you up
Your time is now
Our time is dwindling down
This is our dying breath
Your only sin
I don't know where to begin
This is our living death

To Believe

As a child I believed in peace, but now there's nothing that I can seem to believe in.
Once we moved with such grace and ease, and we danced through the fields and trees. Now we falter with every step and we buckle at the knees. I'm afraid to walk out my door, and I'm shaken to my core.
I'm afraid of what's in store.
There is no love left for us, and there is nothing left to discuss. I see no hope of a future here, and I see no one left to trust. I'm afraid to walk down the street, because I'm afraid of what I'll see.
What can I believe?

I Could

I'm afraid of myself
And everyone else
Nothing comes into my shell
No one knows they live in hell
Nothing means anything now
No one seems to know how
Things have gotten so bad
The world is so empty and sad
Fuck everybody they're all for themselves
Meaningless bunches of meaningless cells
They all go to hell, they can all go to hell
Nothing will get through my shell
Fool me
I'm worthless and just for myself
A meaningless bunch
Of meaningless cells
It's all so sad
I Could
Just

I can't find a reason, there's none to be found
And I've been looking for answers, but there's no more around
And I'm afraid of what's inside me, and how it all began
And I'm afraid to touch a woman, and I'm afraid to be a man
I don't know how to grow, I don't know who to believe
I don't know where to go, and I don't know who to be
Still I can't find a reason, and I can't find the light
And I remember what you told me, and I'm afraid you might be right

I can't wait for more
And I can't be your safe harbor when it storms
I need more
This isn't working anymore
And the fire we built won't light the way, or keep me warm
I deserve more
I deserve more
This thing is dying now, so dig a hole
And I'm not lying, but I'm not whole, pieces of me that you stole
I deserve more
But I made my grave and I'll lie in it
But I'd meant to say that I'd like it if
We could turn back the clock
To when I loved you and you weren't so cold
This isn't working anymore
And the fire you built won't keep me warm
And the winds picked up, and my bones feel so frail and old
So now I'm numbed by drugs and laptop screens
And it's just as lonely as it seems
And I'm not lying
But I'm not whole

"Is anybody happy, or is rest only for the dead?
I've wanted nothing, but for all of this to end.
Don't you have a solution, that isn't just escape?
Anything to make this all go away.
Could you ever be alright?
Don't you ever tire of the fight?
There has to be someway, for me to make this all okay.
And I'm sorry I wasn't there,
And I'm sorry I didn't care.
And now the sun won't seem to rise, now the sun won't light up the skies."
I'm a product of my life
I'm not wrong and I'm not right
I'm a number on a screen
I don't live I just breathe
How can anybody be alright?
Knowing that we're all going to die
It could be today
How can anybody be okay?
I'm sorry that I wasn't there
I'm sorry that I didn't care
Now the sun won't seem to rise
You lit up my skies

The world is sick and it's decayed
People lack decency and I lack faith
In anyone, or anything at all
Things aren't getting better they're only getting worse
The planet's dying and who's to blame
Or who really cares the questions the same
I guess our children will just have to bear the pain
You kill the body, and I'll drive the hearse
Things aren't getting better they're only getting worse
I saw a man holding a sign that said
"You've got yours but I ain't got mine. I could use some money, even just a dime,"
But I bet he was a liar, and his sorrow was all rehearsed
You kill the body, and I'll drive the hearse
Things aren't getting better they're only getting worse
Things aren't getting better they're only getting worse
Things aren't getting better they're only getting worse
