Silverstein Album

Your breath is scorched across my face
You can't bring me down
Your breath will never be the same

Go!

And I don't know whats wrong with me
I wanted to be all the things you need
All the things you need

And now I'm standing here alone
I'm waiting for it all to come and go
All to come and go

Maybe I just had to let it go

Make it up, make it up when you're not around
Bring it up, bring it up did you hear the sound of the sun
Rising from the grounds

Make it up, make it up when you're not around
Bring it up, bring it up do you always wanna be the one
Running from yourself

You!

And nothing's ever as it seems
When all your dreams exist in memories
Exists in memories

And all the trouble takes it's toll
I don't remember all the common goals
All the common goals

Maybe you just have to let me know

Make it up, make it up when you're not around
Bring it up, bring it up did you hear the sound of the sun
Rising from the grounds

Make it up, make it up when you're not around
Bring it up, bring it up do you always wanna be the one
Running from yourself

Your breath is scorched across my face
You can't bring me down
Your breath will never be the same

Go! Go! Go!

[Screaming]

Maybe I just have to let it go
I have to let it go

Make it up, make it up when you're not around
Bring it up, bring it up did you hear the sound of the sun
Rising from the grounds

Make it up, make it up when you're not around
Bring it up, bring it up do you always wanna be the one
Running from yourself

This conversation always ends with goodbye

you're standing here behind the door
you're waiting with your hope

maybe you just have to sleep
in someone elses bed
maybe you just have to keep
searching for something better than perfect
which you know will never exist
its cut and dry

there's no defense-like look on our face
you know this

the clock is running down on me
theres no way i can win

maybe you just have to sleep
in someone elses bed
maybe you just have to keep
searching for something better than perfect
which you know will never exist
its cut and dry

i've known this all along
i loved you anyways
despite all your deceit

this cold point of view
was prepared for how i would have felt

now all we have left are bodies and words
i can hear your voice forever

maybe you just have to sleep
in someone elses bed
maybe you just have to keep
searching for something better than perfect
which you know will never exist
its cut and dry

1, 2, 3, 4

I hear you choking on your words again
The secrets in your throat
And I really wish you'd say
What you're thinking

We've been down this road
So many times before
My stomach can not take it
I've been killing time
You've been crossing lines
You say

Get ready, get ready, get ready for this
I'm taking out my dagger
Just say it, just say it, just say it for me
I'm holding it up to your throat
are you ready, are you ready, are you ready for this
you don't wanna hear it
just say it, just say it, just say it again
It will tear your soul apart again

I'm leaving you out in the cold again
I'll let you freeze to death
I wont let you see the flames
Just the chimney
Where there's smoke there's fire
But I'm such a good liar
You cant read the signals
And my lips are sealed
Saying words that deal
Your shame

Get ready, get ready, get ready for this
I'm taking out my dagger
Just say it, just say it, just say it for me
I'm holding it up to your throat
Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready for this
You don't wanna hear it
Just say it, just say it, just say it again
It will tear your soul apart

Stick to your guns
You've been betting it all on a long shot
16 ways
You gotta call a spade a spade
There is no ace up your sleeve
How can you believe you will win

Get ready, get ready, get ready for this
I'm taking out my dagger
Just say it, just say it, just say it for me
I'm holding it up to your throat
Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready for this
you don't wanna hear it
Just say it, just say it, just say it again
It will tear your soul apart again
It will tear your soul apart
I will tear your soul apart
It will tear your soul apart
Tear your soul apart again

Lying all alone, wishing you would call.
Writing all my thoughts has broken all my bones.
You gave it all up, you threw it all away.
There's nothing I can do.

What do I think of dying?
You know it's even worse than what's in my head.
You don't believe me when I tell you,
I don't want to be a fraud and pretend that everything's fine.
I won't be here when you get home.
I'm not gonna sit here and die.

I'll follow through again this time.
I'll swallow swords
I'll be just fine.

You read me like a book.
You know I'm running out of legs to stand on.
I won't believe you when you tell me.
These old habits die so hard.
There's not intervention in sight.
There's no point in calling you.
I'm just gonna stand here and fight.

I'll follow through again this time.
I'll swallow swords, spit out my pride.
I'll be just fine.
You fill my head with endless lies.
You're killing me, I'm killing time.
I'll be just fine.

So, maybe one day the pain will go away,
And I will see your face,
I won't even care.
Changing all the locks 'cause I can't change you.

I'll follow through again this time.
I'll swallow swords, spit out my pride.
I'll be just fine.
You fill my head with endless lies.
You're killing me, I'm killing time.
I'll be just fine.

You crossed the line
you're running in circles
now you lost your self-control
you murdered me, so you can fall asleep
you might as well shut down

I wonder where you are
I wonder if you found your other self
or are you still somebody else
there's so much bottled up inside
and its been shaken up, its going to explode
you can't stop it, you just can't stop it

you say you're done
you swear you've gave it up
running in circles you don't even care
that you're going nowhere
you hate yourself

I still wonder where you are
I wonder if the thorn's still in your side
will you pull it out in time?
and now it starts to overflow
and spill its guts and ruin someone's soul
you can't stop it, you just can't stop it

you say you're done
you swear you've gave it up
running in circles you don't even care
that you're going nowhere
you hate yourself

you crossed the line
you're running in circles
now you lost your self-control
you murdered me, so you can fall asleep
you might as well shut down
let's go!

you are my disaster!
I can't stop chasing after!

you crossed the line
you're running in circles
now you lost your self-control

you say you're done
you swear you've gave it up
running in circles you don't even care
that you're going nowhere
you hate yourself

you're my disaster
I can't stop chasing you

Today, I lie down deep in slumber.
Feelings are falling downward.
I want to forget.
Waking up, I hear the way your voice sounds.
My heart starts to pound, now...
To the rhythm of yours.
You're so angelic. Your words so symphonic.
Attach your lips to my soul, eat this sorrow away.
How am I so lucky, I found you?

Sometimes, I feel like I'm still dreaming.
It seems like everyday, you're always on my mind.
This is how we stay so connected over space and time.

When we talk about all my old drama,
You look at me and wonder how I'm not insane.
Every week the days seem to get longer.
But you know our love gets stronger with every word we say.
Stronger every day.
You know I would do anything for you.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm still dreaming.
It seems like everyday, you're always on my mind.
This is how we stay so connected over space and time.

If you are feeling down, you know I feel it, now.
We give each other strength to make it through the darkness.
You take me to a place I never want to leave.
I'm in my deepest dream, I don't ever want to wake up.
I'll fight till I die, I won't say goodbye, and I won't let this pass me by.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm still dreaming.
It seems like everyday, you're always on my mind.
This is how we stay so connected over space and time.

Let's run away,
Let's go away to some place safe.
I want it all, I want everything.

I can’t believe, that I can be
Full of so much hate
Another hero dies, the devil lives
The people hide their shame

Lies were spoken
Bonds were broken
Can he ever change?
Turn your back and
Through it as fast as you can
Don’t mark your name

Every day she comes
That’s what it takes
Add the heart to harm
And this for yourself
You shot the only thing you love

Lies were spoken
Bonds were broken
Can he ever change?
Turn your back and
Through it as fast as you can
Don’t mark your name
Yeah!

Sunshine turns to darkness everyday
The fragile far from honesty
Losing faith

I can’t believe
No sides in love
Guilty hearts can mend
I know myself
I’ve killed him
I’ll do it again

Lies were spoken
Bonds were broken
Can he ever change?
Turn your back and
Through it as fast as you can
Don’t mark your name
Yeah!

Thirty hour drive from home.
Think I'd feel so alone, that couldn't be less true.
Family travelling by my side.
Lifeline friends we can't deny.
See the world with you.

Here today, gone tomorrow.
We're saying our goodbyes.
Drive away from the past.
Don't be sad, don't feel sorrow.
The memories in our hearts, I won't forget.

An icy road with no remorse.
A metal box drifting off course is taking everything.
I can't believe we lost you,
I can't feel any worse now.
This must be a dream.
When will someone wake me?

Here today, gone tomorrow.
We're saying our goodbyes.
Drive away from the past.
Don't be sad, don't feel sorrow.
The memories in our hearts, I won't forget.

All my life, I've never felt so strong as when we're all together.
All my days, I've never felt so powerless when you were taken away.
There's no one in this world with so much love and so much passion.
We'll say goodbye, but we won't forget the liberty and fortitude.

Here today, gone tomorrow.
We're saying our goodbyes.
Drive away from the past.
Don't be sad, don't feel sorrow.
The memories in our hearts, I won't forget.

I won't forget.
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)

Don't say you don't miss me yet
I must concede
There's something I have to explain
It isn't easy playing your way
I can't even begin to say

I'm taking back my choices
I'm gonna take us down

I've seen the bravest lions shy away
I've seen the tallest tress fall down
I've made a hobby of self-deprecating
my honesty and my integrity

Don't let me take us now

Don't say goodnight, Say goodbye
(say goodbye)
You can't mend us now
(mend us now)
You can't fix a shattered heart
Don't even try

I'll sell you every ounce of honesty
you'll buy it all and lie with me
I can't pretend there's any truth to me
It's all just vanity and greed

Let me take and call you a crier
I'm gonna need it more

Don't say goodnight, Say goodbye
(say goodbye)
You can't mend us now
(mend us now)
You can't fix a shattered heart
Don't even try

Here's my advice if you know what's good for you
Don't let your guard down, don't let your guard down
Here's my advice if you know what's good for you
Don't let your guard down, don't let your guard down
Here's my advice if you know what's good for you
Don't let your guard down, don't let your guard down
Here's my advice if you know what's good for you
Don't let your guard down, don't let your guard down now

Don't let me drag you down

Don't say goodnight, say goodbye
(say goodbye)
You can't mend us now
(mend us now)
You can't fix a shattered heart
Don't even try

Don't say goodnight, say goodbye
(say goodbye)
You can't mend us now
(mend us now)
You can't fix a shattered heart
Don't even try

I'm taking back my choices
I'm gonna drag us down
Let me take and call you a crier
I'm gonna need it more

The river's running fast right now.
It's the time of year the water cleanses itself.
Running wild, but always in control.
And now's the time to sever the ties.
To habits that we think suck.

Break away this fear,
Until it disappears.
I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink.
I just want to fucking see.
Are you holding me down?
Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?

There's something to be said for luck.
It's better than being good.
When half of being good is being lucky, anyways.
We're spreading out, we're harder to hit.
Become a moving target,
Drop your burden,
And abandon it.

Break away this fear,
Until it disappears.
I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink.
I just want to fucking see.
Are you holding me down?
Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?

I remember the day when I could walk right down the streets and feel so confident,
And know everything's okay.
Take my hand, don't let go, but please remember, hearts can grow.
We still have to take it slow.
I love with caution and trust, alone.

I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink.
I just want to fucking see.
Are you holding me down?
Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?

I'm not here to judge you,
I'm just here to tell you what you have done wrong.
Beautiful girl looking her best, takes off a towel,
Puts on a dress.
Fixes her hair to look good for someone.
Waits in a car to go to a motel.
...to a motel.

I may not always be perfect.
But I'll always try.
Will you say your prayers, just to be honest with yourself?
Will you save your soul? Is this what you wanted all along?
Husband can't bear to just lie to himself.
Stock market falls and he loses it all,
He sleeps alone for the third time this week.
He's become numb, he just wants this to be.

I may not always be perfect.
But I'll always try.
Will you say your prayers, just to be honest with yourself?
Will you save your soul? Is this what you wanted all along?

Blood on the floor.
What have you done?
Heart in your hands.
What have you done?

I may not always be perfect.
But I'll always try.
Will you say your prayers, just to be honest with yourself?
Will you save your soul? Is this what you wanted all along?

Beautiful girl sleeps by herself.
Half the bed's cold, she knows it's her fault.
She's given in and admitted defeat.
She'll be fine.

It was just another day
Cars were driving by and people lined the streets
We were walking side by side
But there was something on my mind
And I couldn't bear to walk another step with this inside

The rain will wash it all away
Our fears will call

There's some things you just don't say
But when it's been so long there's just no other way
I can't do this anymore, I can't pretend that I'm not bored
And I don't want to spend the rest of my life out of my control

The rain will wash it all away
Our fears will call and make us run away

This is the last thing left to do
And if there's one things I have learned
You can only lie to yourself for so long
Until it becomes truth

I know I can't be the one left holding the bag
I wish I could not make it hurt so bad

Don't be surprised, I gonna let you run away
Don't turn around, I'm gonna walk the other way
I'm not going to chase you down the street
I won't chase you, I won't chase you

Don't be surprised, I gonna let you run away
Don't turn around, I'm gonna walk the other way
I'm not going to chase you down the street
I won't chase you down the street

The rain will wash it all away
Our fears will call and make us run away

This is the last thing left to do
And if there's one things I have learned
You can only lie to yourself for so long
Until it becomes truth

I know I can't be the one left holding the bag
(The rain will wash it all away)
I wish I could not make it hurt so bad
(Our fears will call and make us run away)

Cut through the skin with knives of words
I'm still bleeding out questions of nerve
What will it take to sort this out?
It's still lodging it's blade in my heart

Silence hurts more than the worst sound
Now it's too late to call
Say I'm wrong and throw the first round
I'm still falling down

Fill out the paper, File the forms
And I'm signing you up for the war
This is the way we've learned to cope
Insecurities take over hope

Silence hurts more than the worst sound
Now it's too late to call
Say I'm wrong and throw the first round
I'm still falling down

I can see, I can see you and me on the water tonight
Blood red sky lets me know you'll be here by my side
And tomorrow we will wake up, We can start again
We have so much left to learn from all of our mistakes

You can trust me
I won't give up
I won't let you go

Cut through the skin with knives of words

Silence hurts more than the worst sound
Now it's too late to call
Say I'm wrong and throw the first round
I'm still falling down

Silence hurts more than the worst sound
Now it's too late to call
Say I'm wrong and throw the first round
I'm still falling down
