Emery Album

Time runs out
Those words seemed so sincere
and I've been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape

Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown

I can still hear the trees
at my back and haunting me.
Unafraid, unaffected,
this has all gone so wrong.
Under this December sky,
I walked away compromised,
counting steps, of what's left
to bring this all to an end

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game,
it's not a game to me)
pictures on the drivers seat

So now we we will both kill the messenger
It's such a blur
you didn't even see
this meant everything to me

Invisible, plans you made
deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
but disappearing

If it's gray then
just leave it
some colors start bleeding
So guard yourself
that's what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets
claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden
to shield yourself from the blame

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game,
it's not a game to me)
pictures on the drivers seat

Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can't make me believe

Invisible, plans you made
deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
but disappearing

Those words seemed so sincere,
in this shallow sea I drown.

You want to run and hide to catch your breath
(This can't be happening)
But why don't you come inside and capture all that's left
(This can't be happening)
Capture all that's left
(Oh, but this is happening)
I don't want to wait for this
A ruined list, the longing kiss
Making all the moments last
As if we had, the sentiment

Yearning for the sound
Breaking from the crowd
Leaving all the cynics
Racing for the finish

Time runs
Time runs
Time runs
time runs out

If I should die
if I should. (x4)

You've buried me here
And I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking.
You've hidden the keys to sleep.
The sweet careful lines we've crossed
And now we never can go back.

This is what I felt, just being myself,
But I know that you wouldn't stay.
Standing at my car with my reasons spent,
As you drove and made your escape.
The silence crushing me, like I swore it would,
And I'm left watching...

Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all).

I'm here sinking and now we never can go back.

I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was a poor choice at best.
This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense.
You swore this was right,
It was better that you're leaving but I'm here with...

Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
And I'm here with my curbside goodbye.
This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight
As I stay awake to watch the day start without you.

I'm here sinking, now we can never go back.
My foundation crippled and cracked.
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt.
Two people dissolve into words.

Red lights fading out as you drive back to your house.

This is what comes of the best intentions we have,
They get lost with the rest and soon forgotten

And the money we spend is
To make amends for the time that we've never
To make amends for the time that we've never given

We all feel real inside our skin
With selfish hearts that hide our sin,
But everyone that runs a race can't win
We all feel real inside our skin

If God is good, then what are we?
There is no plant without a seed
When morning comes, will we all believe
That was lost can be retrieved

You say you're good, then let me see
A faith is dead without the deed
How can we fail if we believe?
Let's be who we were meant to be

We all feel real inside our skin
With selfish hearts that hide our sin
But no one really knows our deepest secrets

We will separate ourselves from everyone that we know (We say, we're so misunderstood,)
We can't allow a single doubt or weakness to show (But I know we don't do the things we should)
Just one more day without the shame and I can move on (So long to what I thought was)
I'll be happier, happier when I've (I'll be happier, happier when I've)

We will separate ourselves from everyone that we know (We say, we're so misunderstood,)
We can't allow a single doubt or weakness to show (But I know we don't do the things we should)
Just one more day without the shame and I can move on (So long to what I thought was)
I'll be happier, happier when I've given up (I'll be happier, happier when I've given up)

Wisdom light my way into the dark
Your words, the melody that carries me
We can't make a change 'til we know who we are
What burns?
The fire refining me

Wisdom light my way into the dark
We can't make a change 'til we know who we are

The fire refining me,
Refining me

There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out.
If it doesn't hurt, then not another word.
You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown.
Do I hold on, when it's so far gone?

To recall all the footsteps in the hall, with our loose lips.
Chemicals in the bloodstream. Start the surgery.
Take care not to hurt me.

Send the signal. Send the signal.
Send the signal. Send the signal.

There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out. (Is this the easy way?)
If it doesn't hurt, then not another word. (then take me back inside...)
You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown. (is this is where we were...)
Do I hold on, when it's so far gone?

Brush the skin; blood involved.
Lose the voice.
She rejoices if I'm all alone.
Beauty takes more than anything.
But I can't stop whats inside of me.

Send the signal. Send the signal.
Send the signal. Send the signal.

There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out. (Is this the easy way?)
If it doesn't hurt, then not another word. (then take me back inside...)
You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown. (is this is where we were...)
Do I hold on, when it's so far gone?

Is there a chance, just a chance that you need me?
Or are we better off thinking that in this dance the romance is a secret?
But I'm not quite sure I believe it.

With my eyes, with my words, slowly rise and fall...
(Catch me, I'm slipping through)
Slowly rise and fall.
(Catch me, I'm slipping through)
Slowly rise and fall.
(Catch me, I'm slipping through your fingers)

I've got a way
of finding out what you said,
but I want to hear it from the butcher's mouth.
I've got a way
of freaking out all your friends when I'm talking out loud.
But it ends me when I can tell that I've become the person I can't take, that I hate,
a person so much like you.

I've got a way.
Your jealous eyes, with reckless pride, feasting on the wealth.
I've got a way.
This little click, brick by brick, has turned upon itself.

You're a broken record repeating these vanities.
Over and over again.

You find your words and made them work for you,
and trust me, people will drink them in.
The absence of a witness, no one to see this.
Hid your affection for self-obsession and the greed.
But now it's back to your, back to your knees.

I've got a way.
Your jealous eyes, with reckless pride, feasting on the wealth.
I've got a way.
This little click, brick by brick, has turned upon itself.

You're a broken record repeating these vanities.
Over and over, the same old story.

(Throw yourself a pity party,
pulling each and every heartstring.
We brought you here.
We brought you here.
And no one will come to your defense.)

Let's break that smile right off your face.
Taking time to save the place
where names are of no use
and ridiculous answers will find their sleep,
and you will find your sleep too.

(Way, I've got a way.)

You're a broken record repeating these vanities.
Over and over again.

I got eyes in the back of my head and I see where you're going with me.
I'm not surprised. You take me for a fool. Maybe you're right.
If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here tonight.

You're such a sap. You never learn.
Here I am watching the summer fading. (The summer we shared fades away with the winter)
Your hands were warm on my face. Now their crashing away. (Your hands were cold now...)
Slowly pushing me away. Pushing me away. (Slower than icy veins (?) pushing me away)

I knew it (I knew it) right from the start.
I got this big, big hole in my heart.
I wanted (I wanted) to put you in.
But for some reason you just wouldn't fit.
You just wouldn't fit.

You're such a sap. You never learn.
Here I am watching the summer fading. (The summer we shared fades away with the winter)
Your hands were warm on my face. Now their crashing away. (Your hands were cold now...)
Slowly pushing me away. Pushing me away. (Slower than icy veins (?) pushing me away)
Pushing me away.

Lust kept giving men so many regrets.
Just this once is what we tell ourselves.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails.
But if the wind fails, is there hope for me? (I guess your love...)
I thought your love was safe. The promise you made...(wasn't so safe, the promise you made...)

Now I am drowning in your shallow sea; I swim.
(you are the storm, the wind and the waves.
you break me in two and toss me away)

You are the waves that toss me in.
(I fell apart when I fell for you)

How can I float above the water that fills my lungs?
(you are the water filing my lungs,
killing me softly without a word)

Killing me softly without a word.
(Without a word...)

I've got to put a stop to all this,
to all this being separated and then cut off.
I've got to put a stop to all this.
I've seen this, I tasted, I've seen this.)
Separate then fall.
I've got to put a stop to all this,
to all this being separated and then cut off.
Separate then fall...
I've got to put a stop to all this...
...then fall, then fall.
We could float over the world and decide for ourselves if we will ever return.
If only our dreams were fires to ignite,
then we could let the whole world burn.
You said this was over when you suffocate the truth and trade for nothing.
(Save us, the kisses and the distances are clinging to my weaknesses.
Somebody help me here cause I can't steer the wrong words away.
I've seen this, tasted, a killer to my worries and then caught me without my defense).
There's a death inside, and it's yours and mine.
So count up your identities, invented for the frequencies of need.
Does it depend on circumstance or excuse.
My inheritance of the abuse.
The importance of new.
My choice of the two.
The truth is that I choose you.
You said this was over when you suffocate the truth and trade for nothing.

(I've seen this, I tasted.)
I've got to put a stop to all this, to all this being separated and then cut off. (I've seen this, I tasted.)
Cut off, cut off.
I'm crushed, broken, begging for this.
Outside of you, but this severance?
Torn from my hands, I still taste it.
Torn from my hands with my consent.
Cowards and Princes can sometimes look the...
look the... look the same. Just blink and they change.
They change, I've changed, I've changed too.

I was never going to fall
(I was never going to fall)
But the smile, the face has sealed my fate
(The smile, the face)
So sweet, an addict of it all
(I was an addict of it all)
I was blind for another taste
(I have nothing left to give)

The world, has turned, black and cold
And I, can't catch my breath
You rehearsed your lines
With rhythmic details
They match, the pounding in my chest

Then summer came, and you left me with your words
The clever sounds from your mouth
They can make me feel so worthless
And you say, that I am not enough
But though my heart is breaking open
Know that I will not be broken (for you)

The person you claimed to be, is not who haunts me now
The careless lines behind those brown eyes
That you swore were true more times than I can count

Then summer came, and you left me with your words
The clever sounds from your mouth
They can make me feel so worthless
And you say, that I am not enough
But though my heart is breaking open
Know that I will not be broken

I know these words are weak and young
But spoken as I come undone
And while I drown in these mistakes
You ego swells but I can tell
You know that you're a fake.

(You cried in front of your friends)
Just to save some face
(You didn't want it to end)
In just a week I'm replaced
(You wanted me so listen, listen to me)
But can you hear me now
(You're just a sickness and a cancer)
The cancer is your filthy mouth

When I saw you walking by, I could not believe my eyes.
Underneath the city lights, reflecting all your curves just right.
Can I have your attention for a moment?
I just need to say something.

If you've got the time, then I've got the reason for the sin.
If you've got the time, then I've got the reason for the sin.

Have you been been looking out?
Have you been watching my back?
My patience is running out and I
Can't seem to stay on the right track.

Your wanting eyes
Keep me coming back for more and more each time.
Let's get this right,
Cause there is no second chance after tonight.
No chance after tonight.

I know you've got it in you, won't you let it out (let it out)?
Dig a little deeper and I know you'll find strength inside.
If we could be the ones to hold on (to stay stong),
Then maybe we could make a difference in somebody's life (in somebody).

I won't be part of the riot.
I won't be part of the revolution.
You think you're keeping us quiet.
We're not the problem, but we are the solution.

Find these answers
from the words that
you already, you already said
Never thought I
Would find out
But we're here now
Waiting for it,
Waiting for it.

You said you'd never been with anyone else but you lied,
as you try say somehow that I was the one to blame.
Is this the way you felt for saving yourself (if lies were wealth)
you need help, counting riches form your mouth's piggy bank.

I drove these streets to your front door,
so could you please just help me out?
It's sad to say but there's always more,
and you just stare like you can't hear us out.

Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.
Find the suspect.

This is where you say this is not what it looks like.
He's got his hands wrapped around your waist.
I want this, do you want it?
I hate this, but you flaunt it.
It sounds absurd, so I waited for my own eyes
to put a face on the person that built these lies.
Did you want this? 'Cause I want it.
Could have fooled me, cause I bought it.
(You have been found out)

I told myself it was the jealousy that caught my distrust,
but I'm such a good pretender I still rendered my doubts.
Of all the liars number one is where you made your debut,
but I'll teach you the truth, because I've figured you out.

I drove these streets to your front door,

I've finally figured you out.

Trying to forget (I should have been careful)
wishing we never met (but still faithful)
I should have been careful (I should have been careful)
I thought I was unbreakable
But sometimes, you find out (I should have been careful)
That you can not control your heart (but still faithful)
or regain the person that you were from the start (I should have been careful)

I know your face
I know your smile and how it plays
Into the minds of those who cling to every word you say
This isn't how I wanted to remember me and you

Your eyes are talking but your lips are standing still
Open your mouth tell me how I'm supposed to feel
My finger pointing is just a warning so I suggest you

Say you're wrong
Let's get this over
I would like to get some sleep tonight

Let's get this over, I'd like to get some sleep tonight

You make it hard for me to leave
So very hard for me to leave

By now the lies you told are weighing on your chest
If I provide the rope I know you'll do the rest
But I will not be an accessory no I'm not who you think
And I will never be your enemy so don't insult me

Say you're wrong
This could be easier if I was over her
Say you're wrong
I know she's just a girl
But she's got me standing on the edge
I'm on the edge of the world

My eyes are open for the first time
This place not yours it's in my own eyes

I am not a man who lives a life of soldiers
I am not the kind of man who walks away
I will stand up face to face or toe to toe with anyone
Yes anyone

Everything you said about me was the truth but
I just don't think that I can look at you the same
You're like a splinter that will never show its head to anyone
To anyone

Now I know that I was not the man you wanted
You know I loved you and I wanted to make you proud
My intentions were to never give myself to anyone
Look what I've done

Just hear me out
This was all my fault
Now you've brought me death
And it's everything I wanted

It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out
It's the wrong inside that fills my mouth
Has left me without
In this darkness I've given my ground

But know this night will be mine,
But know this night will be mine
Will be mine...

Esta noche sera mia,
Esta noche sera mia,
Esta noche sera mia,
Esta noche sera mia

Time is running out
As you die die die
In this bed not making a sound

It has all come crashing down
To be here and watch you breathe your last
So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast

Oh God are you listening now
As this cancer dances through her and then takes a bow
It won't disappoint the crowd

Whose words are a curse
As I hear them one by one
Each pull, the string, and I come undone

I know this, I failed to say
(I'm sinking by your side)
You're worth this, I wouldn't trade a day
To not have gone though this

So many days I've been blind,
I want to stop and rewind
Kick off our shoes and dance
With the ghost of you

Who could tease me
And leave me begging for the abuse
You're the only one I knew
That could tame me and make me who I am

But now, it's all fading,
and there's nothing left of all my plans

I know this, I failed to say
(I'm sinking by your side)
You're worth this, I wouldn't trade a day
To not have gone though this

So many days I've been blind,
I want to stop and rewind
Kick off our shoes and dance
Let's dance again,
We'll turn up our sleeves,
I know just where to begin

Dance, let's dance again,
We could find ourselves before this happened

These words of mine are trite and so cliché
And still they find their place in everything
It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me

Half of me is dead, already gone
And half is screaming everyone is wrong
I'm finally asking now will you

Just hear me out
This was all my fault
Now you've brought me death
And it's everything I wanted

It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out

We can make believe
We're happy and free
It's automatic when
The money is in our hands
People always try
To look beyond their own lives
But, I know that It wont last
Pride comes before our fellow man

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh

It's a perfect day
For us to make a change
Forget about the watered down
Mistakes that we have made
And there's a way
To clear our tainted names
Just look ahead and don't be scared
We've got so many choices to make

Take a look around (Just look around)
Where is your hope found (Where is it found)
Is it the ones you love
Or just your bank account?
(We all want to be
The people we should never be
We're trying things we just don't need

It's a perfect day
For us to make a change
Forget about the watered down
Mistakes that we have made
And there's a way
To clear our tainted names
Just look ahead and don't be scared
We got so many choices to make

Paint the things we don't need
To impress those we don't know
Indebted to our own accessories
We hide behind our own lies
But the fake dreams, it can't be
The only thing we have worth living for

It's a perfect day
For us to make a change
Forget about the watered down
Mistakes that we have made
Morning breaks
into a brand new day
So look ahead and don't be scared
We've got so many choices to make
