Silverstein Album

I'm cutting through, you're bleeding out
And I would tell the truth, but I can't help myself
Red rushes out, dissect this nerve
And I'll stop myself before I reach my cell

I wasn't asking for the world
And you know that I'm not one to follow through
All these city streets the people look the same
And I can see your face, and I can hear your name
I wasn't asking for the world

You're stabbing in, permanent scars
And you'll justify it all inside yourself
You've finished me, my pulse is gone
And you're satisfied to put this all to hell

I wasn't asking for the world
And you know that I'm not one to follow through
All these city streets the people look the same
And I can see your face, and I can hear your name
I wasn't asking for the world

Drink the poison, when you think it's over
(Drink the poison)
Stabbing yourself, when you think it's too late
Tragic endings are your thing, you love them
(Tragic endings)
You love letting go, the ending's the same
Drink the poison, when you think it's over
(Drink the poison)
Inevitable, Verona lives inside of you

I wasn't asking for the world
And you know that I'm not one to follow through
All these city streets the people look the same
And I can see your face, and I can hear your name
I wasn't asking for the world

When I'm lying in your bed
Play the motions through my head
You know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking
And I have reasons to believe that
I'm not the only one that you spend this time with
But I'll stay

You say you're weak
You wont let me down, you wont let me down
You lie through your teeth
You smile in your sleep, smile in your sleep

When we met you said we were the same
You know that we're different, we're different
And all the times you promised me
That everything would work out in the end
You were gravely mistaken

You say you're weak
You wont let me down, you wont let me down
You lie through your teeth
You smile in your sleep, smile in your sleep

(you lie, you lie, you lie, you lie)
You lie, through your teeth, you wont let me down (you lie)

I deserve better than this
I dream of steel
Maroon and warm, your end
You gasp for air
I'll see this through, I'll see through you
Your pale blue eyes

When you're lying in your bed
Your eulogie's been read
You know that it's fading, you lied

You say you're weak
You wont let me down, you wont let me down
You lie through your teeth
You smile in your sleep, smile in your sleep

(you smile ,you smile, you smile, you smile)
I deserve better than this

Tie me up with sheets
And hang me from your tree
I'll stay out here all night
It doesn't even matter
As long as I can see
Into your room and feel
Like I'm inside your life
I'll follow you forever

Don't cut me down just yet
I'll make things right again
Don't close your blinds on me, on me

I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
And I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

The snow won't go away
My nose runs down my face
No one sees me here
It doesn't even matter
And every step I take
I stay in the same place
I can't begin to start again why can't I just be perfect

I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

You see my ghost and you'll never forget it
My face is as white as the snow that haunts me
Your windows my door and nothing can stop me
Sometimes betrayal can make you happy

Don't cut me down just yet
I'll make things right again
Don't close your blinds on me, on me

I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

I will never recover from this
I will never believe in this again
I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

Come on

Finish me off, follow the plan
Break all the bonds, sever the ties
And now your mission is complete, find and destroy me
Torturing me, with words from your lips
Filleting my skin, pulling my teeth
Please forgive me for not being good enough

Drown your sorrows in my pain (pain)
And it's something you can't explain
When I'm choking on words you'll never say (say)
And you'll never feel the same (same)

Bound and gagged
I cannot move or speak
These things I want to say
I can't explain them anyway
So if I had it all again
If I could start from the first words I ever said
I would do it all the same

Drown your sorrows in my pain (pain)
And it's something you can't explain
When I'm choking on words you'll never say (say)
And you'll never feel the same

Your joy is my pain
My fingers are yours to cut off
And my bones are yours to shatter in pieces
My teeth are yours to pull out
And my soul is yours to slowly rip apart

I can't trust anyone I meet
From now on, my chest feels more like
A fist wrapped in blood

I will promise myself I won't care
Distracting myself from your stare
And I've seen this mistake once before
With your games I will never fall for
I've hung up my guns
I won't kill again

I won't forget you
I'm not gonna let you win
But I'm tired of lying
Tired of fighting you
And it's not gonna change

You asked for my heart
You know that I'm down
But not the way you lie to me and tear it all apart
And beg for me to stay
I've sailed off to sea
I'm not coming back

I won't forget you
I'm not gonna let you win
But I'm tired of lying
Tired of fighting you
And it's not gonna change

Counting down
Make that sounds
When you know it makes no sense
Counting down
Till you mess around
When I know you can't ever change
Why am I trembling
Throw it overboard
When I'm ready to we'll progress
Counting down
Make that sounds
Break the silence

Pretend it's not forever
I'll pull myself together
I'll say that I'll forget her, I'll breathe
And I'll say she never hurt me
And look at it as learning
And laugh about the good and the bad
Because I won't live forever
We don't belong together
I know I'll feel better
One day when I can make it through

I won't forget you
I'm not gonna let you win
But I'm tired of lying
Tired of fighting you
And it's not gonna change

I'm lying down
And you can't see
Why I've gone to sleep

Try to relate
Can't give in to your temptations (temptations)

All your hopes and dreams
Washing away silently
Forget everything you taught me (you taught me)
When I looked up to you

Fall to your knees
And give up your aspirations (aspirations)
Falling to your knees

So how can
You expect me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes
Defending you is getting harder everyday, day

I'm breaking down
The ending's near
The final call to make it through (make it through)
You'll choose
Try to relate
Forget everything you taught me (you taught me)
When I looked up to you

So how can
You expect me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes
Defending you is getting harder everyday, day

I'll look inside myself for strength
Like a million times before
You'll never let it in because
I know you said, I know you said
I know, I know, I know, I know

Fall, how can you let it go (let it go)
How can you be this way
I'll never forget (never forget)
Where I come from, where I've been
I'll never become you

So how can
You expect me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes
Defending you is getting harder everyday, day

You've lost it all

The drugs begin to peak
A smile of joy arrives in me
But sedation changes to panic and nausea
And breath starts to shorten
And heartbeats pound softer
You won't try to save me
You just want to hurt me
And leave me desperate

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it
You're my heroine

You won't leave me alone
Chisel my heart out of stone
I give in everytime

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it
You're my heroine

I bet you laugh, at the thought of me thinking for myself (myself)
I bet you believe, that I'm better off with you than someone else
Your face arrives again, all hope I had becomes surreal
But under your covers more torture than pleasure
And just past your lips there's more anger than laughter
Not now or forever will I ever change you
I know that to go on, I'll break you, my habit

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times when I was
Lost and depressed form the awful truth
How do you do it
You're my heroine

I will save myself

This took my fate
Giving in, to your lips, to your eyes
I should have known it would come back to haunt me

Crooked smile
A reflection in your eyes, that shows
My weakness for your beautiful mistakes
Something that I know you've seen before
I'm not the first
Set the trap, I'm falling for it every time

I can't believe, everyone knew from the start
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you

I'll take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back

How do you feel
I bet you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
Don't have a heart attack
But I won't stop you

Flying high, razor blades make perfect lines
On just about anything you want
Broken pores spill out
Everything you want to say
It shows my weakness for

Falling in love with
My wallowing despair that shines in black
It consumes me
I'll take it back
I'll build it back to what it was

I can't believe, everyone knew from the start
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you

I'll take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back

How do you feel
I bet you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
Don't have a heart attack
But I won't stop you

Everyone knew from the start
This would come back to haunt me
I can't stand to see you now
How could I ever trust you

Cut me out, of your life
Like it's nothing
(Like I'm nothing)
Make believe, you can love
That it's better
(That you're better)

Part of me is gone
You've taken (you've taken)
You've taken (you've taken)

Part of me is gone
You've taken (you've taken)
Pieces from me

I'll take it back to the streets
I'll start again
I'll never look back
I'll never look back, back

How do you feel
I bet you don't feel anything
Don't have a heart attack
Don't have a heart attack
But I won't stop you

You won't stop
You'll never change

You won't stop
You'll never change

You won't find me here
the place that you expected me to be
in my bed on the second floor
I'm outside your house
I'm closing in on you
and all the times you smiled
you said hello and thought I was ok
I was planning your final struggle

[Chorus]
When you wake up I'll be there
when you see me you'll be on your back again
(when you, when you, when you, when you)
know you're already dead
you'll love me too

You will find me here
the place you least expected me to be
breaking through your basement window
I'm outside your room
I can hear you breathe
and all the times you laughed
you shook my hand and thought I was your friend
I was planning your tragic ending

[Chorus]

You'll look down on me, with eyes of endless tragedy
try and stop the pain, but there's never closure
find your solace in what you could have been

When they look for me, the evidence is buried deep
try to guide the way into the darkness

[Chorus]

Looking down on me through eyes that never stop crying
looking down on me, will you ever look away?

Let's Go!

Indifference grows
Indifference feeds on me
A sickness fills the pathways were I breathe
Miles away from where I want to be, want to be

One day you will see
Nothing is this simple, this simple
One day you will see
It takes its toll on me, toll on me

Hey, lie awake and wait out all those
Days, till I finally come home
Changed and jaded everything that I hate
I'll be there

Trading in my youth, for broken wings
As I slowly watch you
Walk away, so walk away
Will you stay, will you stay, will you walk away

Fall asleep to flashing screens and paper cuts
Waking up with vacant eyes and broken hearts again

One day you will see (one day you will see)
Nothing is this simple, this simple
One day you will see (one day you will see)
It takes its toll on me, toll on me

Hey, lie awake and wait out all those
Days, till I finally come home
Changed and jaded, everything that I hate
I'll be there

Blame it on the weather
But I'm a mess
And this February darkness, has me hating everyone
And I know I give you comfort, but this trouble makes me sick
And the longer I lay here, I know it's harder to get up without you

Lose another day here
Lose another year here
I'm with you

Find me something out there, that's making sense
And it's just another trend carefully hidden in your dress
And the cycles neverending, and the fashions overdone
And the further that I run away, the further I'll come back to shelter

Lose another day here
Lose another year here
I'm with you

You are the fire, on my apartment floor
Sixteen stories, I'd rather burn then fall
It isn't fate, that took us all by storm
It's just the turn of a card

Lose another day here
Lose another year here
I'm with you

You are the fire, on my apartment floor
Sixteen stories, I'd rather burn then fall
It isn't fate, that took us all by storm
It's just the turn of a card

Goodbye, old friend
Goodbye, goodnight
I'll move on
You'll call it fate, I'll call it karma
We had our time, it was fun
While it lasted

I'll look back, with honor, and no regrets
I won't be mad, won't feel bad
These memories will never leave me
Don't be sad
Cause life goes on, life goes on
It's getting too late
Tomorrow is here

Return it to you, that I kept it for a year.
All these times I figured you'd be here. (HEY!)

The last time I saw you, I tried to move right through the crowd.
And I was calling your name, but the band played too loud.
The last time I saw you, I tried to move right through the crowd.
WAS CALLING YOUR NAME BUT THE BAND PLAYED LOUD!

Note that I kept it for a year.
