Skylar Grey Album

Though I'm young and cynical
It's not my only crime
I've been stealing all your cigarettes
To save another dime
And in case you haven't noticed, I just gave them all away

Tell me what do you think of me now
That I've traded all my armor for a crown
Come on what do you do with me now
That I've taken down the mirror on the wall
And the sweet rain is ready to fall
I'm giving it up for you, oh
Giving it up for you

Well I take a lot of medicine
I don't really need
Well, I was drinking at eleven
Getting high at seventeen
So now I don't appreciate the taste of expensive wine, no

Tell me what do you think of me now
That I've traded all my armor for a crown
Come on what do you do with me now
That I've taken down the mirror on the wall
And the sweet rain is ready to fall
I'm giving it up for you

Take your aim like Artemis
And kill another dove
But when your heart becomes a hunter
You may wound your chance to love

Tell me what do you think of me now
That I've traded all my armor for a crown
Come on what do you do with me now
That I've taken down the mirror on the wall
And that sweet rain is ready to fall
I'm giving it up for you

I'm giving it up for you, yeah
I'm giving it up for you
Giving it up for you

Oh

Giving it up

Painted eyes and empty streets
Are taking it down
Selling perfect tragedies
Without a sound
The faded roses scattered on the ground
Tonight, oh

I will be wanted
I will not fall from grace
Daylight has waited
Just to live upon your face
I won't be haunted
I will not sleep to dream
All that I wanted
Has been right in front of me

I won't be haunted
I will not sleep to bleed
All that I wanted
Has been right in front of me

Now that I am coming to
Black from the fight
Shaking out the dusty blue
Into the night
And there will be no waving of the white

I will be wanted
I will not fall from grace
Daylight has waited
Just to live upon your face
I won't be haunted
I will not sleep to dream
All that I wanted
Has been right in front of me

All the hell just gets me higher than before, oh
Now an angel has come knocking at my door
To tell me I can fly

I will be wanted
I will not fall from grace
Daylight has waited
Just to live upon your face
I won't be haunted
I will not sleep to bleed
All that I wanted
Has been right in front of me

Feeling like I can't forgive
But I want to
It's like I don't know how to live
I'm afraid to
I used to think take them as they come without hesitations, no
Now it's like my head is filled with lies and persuasions

As the sun begins to fall I hear her calling out to me she's saying hurry, it's one more day gone

What I wouldn't give just to forget
So I can remember how to live again
I wanna live again

I am feeling dissonant and distracted
The toxic chemicals are spilling in my head and they're bleeding deadly reactions

And as the moon begins to rise he shows me all the colors that I'm hiding, I'm hiding myself

What I wouldn't give just to forget
What I wouldn't give to get some rest
So I can remember how to live again
I wanna live again

Am I desperately losing this fight
When I should really be choosing my flight
Oh, take me, take me, take me now

What I wouldn't give just to forget
What I wouldn't give to get some rest
So I can remember how to live again
I wanna live again

What I wouldn't give just to forget
What I wouldn't give to get some rest
What I wouldn't give just to forget
So I can remember how to live

You want to catch your breath, you want to get out
But as you surface you don't really know how
How to live upon the solid ground
Well, sometimes it's just easier to let yourself drown

Love is
Thick like
Blood like
Honey

You cannot spell it out there are no words
Mrs. Johnson never taught me those verbs
On how to give myself and how to receive
It is something that's inside of you and me

Love is
Thick like
Blood like
Honey

Forget everything you ever learned
No one listens when you want to be heard
Just bleed the bittersweet

Seven sunrises and seven more nights
You'd think that we could learn to do it right
If nothing changes then I'm gonna stop
But do I really have a choice?
Oh, no I think not

One, two
One, two, three
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh

Unlocking metaphors
Caches that were safe before
Lost their secrets to the wind

It isn't everyday
You can see the other face
Watching you, I'm watching me who could this be

Your wounds begin to sing
Red melodies that sting
Like ice, bury me twice

Running from the heat from the lines that break me, oh
I'll give another try

Fallen angel
Your terminal high
Feeding the hunger of your sky
Take all the poison that I give
Just to live
For the feeling
Use me again

You're stuck in a centerfold
Written in capitals
Bake the time talking through wine

Young boys that you tantalize
Sipping on your pretty eyes
But you would kill just to feel real

Well, lately on this vine the showers have been steady, oh
Are you ready for this flight?

Fallen angel
Your terminal high
Feeding on the hunger of your sky
Take on the poison that I give
Just to live
For the feeling
Use me again

Again, again
And again
Again, again

Again, again
Again

Fallen angel
Your terminal high
Feeding on the hunger of your sky
Take all the poison that I give
Just to live
For the feeling
Use me again

Someone tell me what to do
I feel like I must be a fool
For ending up right back at the start
The things that we don't comprehend
Are laughing at my mind again
I think that I think too hard
And I don't give enough credit to my heart

I'm so
Damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions
That I hold onto

I've put my theories to the test
You know I've tried to do my best
But maybe we weren't meant to strike gold
Sometimes things that you ignore
Are all the things I'm looking for
Will I learn to let go
Give into love and listen to my soul

I'm so
Damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions
That we hold onto

Portraits of your loved ones
Are more than what you see
All the elements they capture
Are more to you than me

A different dimension we've yet to define
And there's a forest to cut through with thorns and vines
And there is no reason to try

'Cause I'm so
Damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions

I'm so damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions
That I hold onto
Like you

Saturday what a day what a silly little day
Time to kill take a pill as I sit and contemplate
How I'd like to be around all the people in the town with their fancy cars and things
But I've got time

Stop pushin' all your tragedies away
Each moment has got a lesson for the day
Take something with you if you drag your heels in yesterdays
Oh these Saturdays

In the haste in the grace I've been up to my waist
It isn't real what you feel when you find love in a chase
I've been waiting for the day when someone takes me away, and I never get replaced
But I've got time

Stop pushin' all your tragedies away
Each moment has got a lesson for the day
Take something with you if you drag your heels in yesterdays
Oh, these Saturdays
These Saturdays now

Ooh

As I sink one more drink I am running out of ink
Feeling void, paranoid about every little thing
And I wonder if I try to get up and say goodbye if I'll have the strength to leave
'Cause I don't have much time anymore

Stop pushin' all your tragedies away
Each moment has got a lesson for the day
Take something with you if you drag your heels in yesterdays
Oh, these Saturdays
These Saturdays now
Saturdays now, baby

Now I've come to cry
Shed your skin to rest my naked eye
And criticize
All that I implore
Seems to be one foot outside that door
Coming between me and waking

Underneath the corset of your mystery
Piece by piece undress you from your history
I'm sleeping with seclusion in sweet disarray

You can go heavy on me
And I will not weigh you down, down, down
You can be steady and clean
I can take it
Heavy on me
And I will not weigh you down

Born unto this pride
Silence is something you can't hide
You can't deny...us
Nothing has been said
Yet so many words have filled my head
And now they completely surround me

Tie the lines of honest conductivity
Caught between the center of our gravity
I don't have that much time to burn anymore

You can go heavy on me
And I will not weight you down, down, down
You can be steady and clean
I can take it
Heavy on me
And I will not weigh you down

Underneath the corset of your mystery
Piece by piece undress you from your history
I'm sleeping with seclusion in sweet disarray
I lay

You can go heavy on me
And I will not weight you down, down, down
You can be steady and clean
I can take it
Heavy on me
And I will not weigh you down, no

I will not weigh you down

You drank a bit down
Spilled the rest of it in me
And that's the minute I let go
Your direction
With the bending of the light
If I remember it right
It carried on just fine
But tonight I will cry myself to sleep

Every rain makes its way into somebody's song
As a way to relieve the pain
This one is calling me out of my shelter
To face the truth
But I still love

More than one time
This color has been mine
To consume the energy
Oh, to be a painter
And cover all the blue
I would give up wanting you
But still the morning sun
Will leak into my window when I'm done

Every rain makes its way into somebody's song
As a way to relieve the pain
This one is calling me out of my shelter
To face the truth
But I still love

Searching for my intuition
Even though I recognize
Myself in all these silver walls
But as I stare they all break me down

Every rain makes its way into somebody's song
As a way to relieve the pain
This one is calling me out of my shelter
To face the truth
But I still love

I still love

Sittin' here I'm dwellin' on the things that I keep
Holding on to yesterday
Ties are broken ties are made I try so hard to find my way
Around this crazy place
Nobody seems to understand me
'Til you came along and told me this

All will be forgotten
Every tear you've cried
As soon as you awaken
To what's right in front of your eyes
Standing by your side

Sittin' here I'm thinkin' bout the weather and
The countryside around me
Simple little things like these are good to keep
My silly mind from wandering
I feel the summer breeze wash over me
Oh, I know the laughter know the love and
Maybe I've just got enough to give

All will be forgotten
Every tear you've cried
As soon as you awaken
To what's right in front of your eyes
Standing by your side

The road is long before me now
The memories beg me to stay
But lonely is born from pride I've found
So, I'll reach out

All will be forgotten
Every tear you've cried
As soon as you awaken
To what's right in front of your eyes
Standing by your side

Ooh

Sittin' here I'm dwellin' on the things that I keep
Holding on to yesterday

Cellar door, what's the use
Cellar door, are you open to find me
Iron ore shields remorse
When I look, I look to your beautiful name
And find you're not the same

Cellar door, what's the case
Are you locked in your shadow's embrace
Do you feel so insane
That you don't, you don't want to show me your face
But I, I can relate

Holding onto everything that makes us bleed

Overflowing underneath my pretty face
With the presence of the haste
Now they're sayin', don't believe anything
But I do believe I know you
Well

Cellar dooroligist
Your therapy is the one I love best
You give me strength to confess
That I, I will not last very long
So soon, I'll be gone

Oh, these walls know everything, and I'm tired of being lost inside

Overflowing underneath my pretty face
With the presence of the haste
Now they're sayin', don't believe anything
But I do believe I know you

Overflowing underneath my pretty face
With the presence of the haste
Now they're sayin', don't believe anything
But I do believe I know you

Love will come to me, and I will not remain
Hover over these confused, contaminated veins
Love will come to me, and I will not remain
Hover over these confused, contaminated veins

Hey ya hey ya, hey ya hey ya
