The promise that he made
Left broken on the floor
The bruise left round your heart
Left you begging for more

THANK YOU for making me
WORTHLESS in your eyes
In hope and desperation
I'll find my only light
In your white wedding dress

THANK YOU for making this
THE BEST DAY of my life
In hope and desperation
I'll find my only light

And in everything I've seen
I am open to everything
And time will, will take us all and
Drown us in it's wake
And clearly I will stay and wipe the blood from

. . .



Who shot the bullet
That killed the air tonight
Without a thought, without a reason
Take a gun called hate
Up against your heart
And pull the trigger

It's over, it's only over
It's only over when we say

The smoke and mirrors
The lies that wind your tongue
Is this oppression what we needed?
As we function on impatience
And our patience is wearing thin
And live a lie that will destroy us all

Back and to the left come on
And shoot motherfucker

You like this baby?

. . .



Tied to the testing of wills and my heart breaks
And spills
Left to the sight of the sky
In your arms I'm defined
Thrown to the wolves
In the minds of your enemies
And I'm stone in the eyes of your foolishness

If this is what I'm meant for
Longer interesting
Fall forward just to even the score
Just a thought to you

And I'm nothing more

. . .



As the sun sets on battlefields
I hope you can save me
I hope you can save our wounded hearts

Distance makes my heart grow colder
Distance makes my heart grow older
Just enough to cut the air from your lungs

As the sun sets (we push and pull apart)
On battlefields (enough for this to end)
I hope you can save me (from ourselves)
I hope you can save us from ourselves

Denial in the arms of our saviours
And my heart is torn to pieces
Just enough to cut the air from your lungs

And paper cuts and bloody hands

. . .



The red poison of your lips
The red poison of your eyes
Is where I kissed the blood from,
Just that corner of your mouth where I can see the white of your smile.
Up to my neck
When I'm breathing without you, without you
Up to my eyes
And I'm seeing without you, without you

We'll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
We'll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight

We need some leverage
We can't seem to open up
The locks are far too tight
And the chains are far too strong, far too strong.
Up to my eyes
And I'm seeing without you, without you
Up to my heart
When I'm bleeding without you, without you.

We'll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
We'll start a fire,
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight

Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you.
With a hundred thousands lights
Timing as everything will
With a hundred thousand lights
Timing, timing is everything to me
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you.
It's everything
It's everything

. . .



You say it's not going to work out
Why do you have to tell me now
Is there a difference in anything
You've said and done
Or is it just the way we've been pretending

I'm leaving
Do me a favour don't even think of me now
Just when you thought it was over
It had only just begun

I'm not going to let this tear me apart
She's not my only reason
He's not my only reason she said
You're a weakness to me
You should've sent me a note
Or wrote me a letter

I wish it was how we planned
Everything will work out
You said I hated you if only that was true

. . .



In the black and white, wounds all bound
Sitting at the table, biting nails all short
The consequence of adultery
As he rips you from your skin

We're all paying for this and in your prayers
You believe

YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (just for the first time)
YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (just like the last time)
YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (a seam away from breaking)
YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (always forever)

Tasting you for the first time, just to breathe you in
Breaking you for the first time, bathed in sin


. . .



Can't beat the best ones
A little closer maybe a bit too close
You function you turn out
A flawless performance

Turn your camera away from me
Spill your guts in 8mm
Put your focus where your mouth is
You're the only one who's fading here

Such holidays in the sun don't come without sacrifices
You know it makes more sense

I like the way you cry
Break my heart and break my hands and let me down
I want to snap your neck in two
And leave you dead, so dead


. . .



Can't pretend that you're nothing special
You've got to look at all of your options
You can't decide what to go for
When it's all about trust (it's all about trust)
You see your self on the TV
You read your magazines
You can't explain how it's come to be this
Stop and think….
When it's all about trust (it's all about trust)
This coverage your centre spread
Your neon light daydream will shatter and break
And if you think I'm thinking of your value here
You're the one who's losing control
This eventual stop this, break in the mold
I scream down this hotline just to feel something
This situation, isn't getting any better
I see that look in your eyes
You want to see a pretty face
There isn't anything wrong with giving up
And for what it's worth, I still hate you.

. . .



They stand to fight for nothing.
We show them how stupid we've become.
As fortune favours only,
those who care to much to see.

Oh it will never be okay,
as some will say.
We stand to fight for nothing,
so close your eyes and stay away.
Don't believe their headlines
they poison our lives, everyday

Oh it will never be the same,
the purpose bearing everyday.
The lies that lead you into the grave.
As some will say.

And you will never be okay,
as some will say.
Purpose bearing everyday,
as some will say.
Lies that lead you to the grave,
as some will say.

your revolution is a joke,

. . .



Is a lie just the truth
Uncovered and relinquished
A passion for all young fools
Is a lie just the truth
A question left unanswered
To feed the failure of our choices

And in my hands our blood recovered
And for our faith we're undeserved
And in my hands our blood recovered
And in your faith completely

Do we wait all this time
And follow blindly hating
Killing all that we survey
Do we hate all this time
And let our anger lead us
Lead us to our bitter end

Your wasting our time (turn the lights out when you leave)
When everything's said and done
We're dead and buried

And will this never end
I'm tired of all this walking
And if this never ends

. . .



WASTING TIME, it's over and ended
WASTING TIME, we deserve
HOLD THAT LINE, they ask us in safety
Hold that line, when we talk

I can see the headlights and pavements
My legs can't carry me that far
If this distance isn't enough they'll cry
Another river to see you drown

FACELESS LIES, it's easy to speak when
Every word is your own
SELFISH EYES look onward in protest as we
Tear down their disguise

Your days were golden while
