Lyrics to Learning To Drown :
I hear what happened to you
the other day
I am in disbelief
what can I say?

Sky is getting darker
Clouds gather 'round
Rain pour down
on the ground.

Winds blowing stronger
Thunders getting louder
There's no turning back now

Everything's changing
nothing's going as it was again
But after tonight you'll be alone

Don't back down from this song
and you shall be
Your strength will get you through
this tonight

Domestique must have a plaque
no one was looking
She stole the blueprints of your life
and use them to ruin you tonight

Set aside your fears
Wipe away your tears
Keep your head above this water (keep this water)
She will drown.

Everything's changing
nothing's going as it was again
But after tonight you'll be alone

Don't back down from this storm
and you shall be
Your strength will get you through
this dark night

Here's your song
Here's your song
[x6]
[Repeats in background]
I hear what happened to you
the other day
I am in disbelief
what can I say?

Don't back down
Don't back down from this song tonight

Lyrics to True Moment Of Choice :
You can tell by the look in their eyes.
She sends as she glances.
Brush your hair back please.
Someone rush me to intensive care,
I'm dieing for you inside.

So take me now
with my insides out
as I read or shout
if we cant burn together
I'll burn alone

Cant you see your just like me
Just stop these give-ins of disbelief
Can't help but smile now
To take this life please sit, sit down
when your whole life is turned around
I know you will be there

So take me now
With my insides out
as I read or shout
if we cant burn together
I'll burn alone

You are what I've been
waiting my whole life time for
[x4]

Lyrics to Watching The Detectives :
Nice girls, not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs

[Chorus:]
She is watching the detectives
"Ooh, he's so cute"
She is watching the detectives
When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

Long shot at that jumping sign
Invisible shivers running down my spine
Cut to baby taking off her clothes
Close-up of the sign that says "We never close"
He snatches at you and you match his cigarette
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake

[Chorus]

You think you're alone until you realize you're in it
Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit
Someone's scratching at the window, I wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
It only took my little fingers to blow you away

Just like watching the detectives
Don't get cute
It's just like watching the detectives
I get so angry when the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

Watching the detectives
It's just like watching the detectives
Watching the detectives
Watching the detectives

Lyrics to When It's Too Late For Pf Flyers :
My knuckles are blistered and scarred
From beating myself up over this.
Outlined in black, backing me down,
With stares to kill, she scans the room.

Brought together by the same thing that's tearing us apart.

The sun's your smile (I'm burning alive).
The moon's your eyes (They're shutting me out).
The rain's your kiss (I'm up to my chin).
You're my world.
I'll reach for that (I can't help this).
Which is just out of reach (It was meant to be).
Take the longest way (The end of me).
Go against the grain.

Regardless how I alter my gait,
The finish line is forever one stride away.
But now my walk won't waiver.
My steps are constant in rhythm and time.

You never hesitate to tear muscle straight from bone.

The sun's your smile (I'm burning alive).
The moon's your eyes (They're shutting me out).
The rain's your kiss (I'm up to my chin).
You're my world.
I'll reach for that (I can't help this).
Which is just out of reach (It was meant to be).
Take the longest way (The end of me).
Go against the grain.

You knew the story before you turned the page.
I knew the words before they left your lips,
Fired passed your teeth through silence from point blank range.
Should this be salvation?
(You take care of verbs and I'll worry about adjectives.)
You knew the story before you turned the page.
I knew the words before they left your lips,
Fired passed your teeth through silence from point blank range.
Should this be salvation?

Lyrics to White To Red :
[Excerpt of Brad Pitt from Fight Club:
"I want you to hit me as hard as you can."]

Took all her pictures off my walls
Haven't come in town in so long

This breaks so deep to repair
But everywhere while you alter the red

And when it all, all goes down
I'm left with feet still on the ground

You, theres nothing I can't do
after what I've been through.
(You know what you've done to me)
All I need is time to heal this wound
It could take a while judging by the
size of the knife that you used

This blade's so deep?
(Just to wear this red)
blood everywhere
(As the storm of this red)
This blade's so deep
(Just to wear this red)
blood everywhere
(As the storm of this red)

You, theres nothing I can't do
after what I've been through.
(You know what you've done to me)
All I need is time to heal this wound
It could take a while judging by the
size of the knife that you used

This red will one day wash off
I just hope you'll still be here
This red will one day wash off
I just hope you'll still be here
This red will one day wash off
I just hope you'll still be here
This red will one day wash off
I just hope you'll still be here
This red will one day wash off
I just hope you'll still be here
This red will one day wash off
I just hope you'll still be here

Lyrics to I'm A Sucker For Fakes :
I'll classify
Every word out of your lips as a lie
Until you're lying beneath the dirt and the soil
Hailed as the king of deceivers and cheats

You've got a lot to learn
More best friends to burn
More malignant lies to conjure

I'm down and out
For now, but until the day you die
I will haunt your dreams

When you decide
To paint your white picket fence
Be sure to use the purest his money can buy
With every stroke, brush over the past
And smother the true grain of your tainted life

You've got more guts to churn
An eternity to burn
You're about as innocent as cancer

I'm down and out
For now, but till the day you die
I will haunt your dreams

I hope your breathing doesn't come easy
I pray to God I'm all you dream
I hope you feel my touch
Hear my voice
Taste my lips
with every sip of noise
Save your tears
Don't apologize
All you'll hear is
Goodbye

Until you're a memory
You're a memory
Until you're a memory
You're a memory

Lyrics to The Sour And The Sweet :
These baby blues
Are drowning amongst the salt of my sorrow
These baby blues
Were made for you

And you for them
Don't be afraid of what you know you want
Spit out the bitter
So I'll sing until this dream loses grip
Until my faith is dashed to bits
How far will I have to fall before you realize you've fallen for me too?
I'll spill my heart through this pen
You'll be my end
Both engines out, waiting for panicked metal to meet ground

Let me be your seat belt
I'll keep you buckled tight
You'll be safe with me
Your trust, your faith
Your every reason to leave it all behind

I am the sugar
So I'll sing until this dream loses grip
Until my faith is dashed to bits
I feel so far, I feel so close, I'm blind to your desire

I'll spill my heart through this pen
You'll be my end
Because you can't stop me from bleeding
when it's on the inside

I hate how you still love him
I hate how you're the reason I'm losing sleep
I hate how you refuse to let go
I hate how you're everything I want and need
I hate how you hold back
I hate how your lips grazed mine so softly
I hate how beautiful you look in the rain
I hate how you were made for me

It's the sour and the sweet

So I'll sing until this dream loses grip
Until my faith is dashed to bits
How far will I have to fall before you realize you've fallen for me too?
I'll spill my heart through this pen
You'll be my end
Because you can't stop me from bleeding
when it's on the inside

Lyrics to Jamais Vu :
I'll pray
For such heavy downpours the Pacific's eyes would
Turn green
The angels above would not be able to ignore
This plea

The rain wouldn't let up
Mountains would become hills
Until the day I've kneeled for
When this water consumes you

Take as long as you need
To let air replace its rival
I'll be on the top of the world
So high. How's this for intense"

Like a freight
Train, it will barrel though your doors and down
Your hallways
Racing towards your lungs to leave you
Choking
And gasping for your life, you finally realize
This water can just be so damn unforgiving

Take as long as you need
To let air replace its rival
I'll be on the top of the world
So high. How's this for intense"

I can't insist my heart to keep
Pumping my blood to all my straining muscles
At this rate, my heart rate will fall
Just as far as my expectations of you
For so long now, I've been holding these wires
Forearms swelling tired, I've kept the current alive
The voltage growing in size, I let my arms hit my sides

Where's distance bred?
In the heart or in the head?

Where's distance bred?
In the heart or the head?

Take as long as you need
To let air replace its rival
I'll be on the top of the world
So high. How's this for intense"

Lyrics to Caelestis :
Ours eyes
Spend more time as one than we do
All I
Know is the day. All I see is the light.

So please just feed
Me ether and breath your fire down my throat
To save me from my ever-martyred heart

Covers and sheets
Are my escape, but I hear you call my name from walls
You looks so good in shades of grey
So I'll wrap your memory around my wrist

So please just feed
Me ether and breath your fire down my throat
To save me from my ever-martyred heart

This will be my rediscovery,
will be my revelation, will be my revolution
You've got to strike while the iron's hot to the touch
I'll tighten my belt. Bite my tongue. Rise to where the air is rare
So watch as my planes fill the sky tonight
Because "where we're going we don't need roads"

So please just feed
Me ether and breath your fire down my throat
To save me from my ever-martyred heart

Lyrics to I Am A Heart, Watson. The Rest Of Me Is Mere Appendix :
Splintered soles and cracked rungs
Soaking flames and black lungs
Climbing only brings me closer to drowning.
Effort only speeds burning embers to rain down

This ocean's waves crash
Up against the varnished sides of the hull
Whose walls securely
Insulate my heart from the swells
But these tides persist, rust grows by the inch
Corrosion turns to decay
This ship's tired and old
Can't take much more of the cold
Before it breaks like glass

I've been drawn and quartered. My limbs anchored
To spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn. I've crashed. I've burned.
Through catastrophe, it's been right here in front of me

This is of epic proportions
The essence of enlightenment
This is a divination
Which I alone am privy to
My fears have been
Suffocated by vindication
My vessel's bow has
Detected your beacons along the shore

I've been drawn and quartered. My limbs anchored
To spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn. I've crashed. I've burned.
Through catastrophe, it's been right here in front of me

So I will grab my pale
And drag my shovel across the ground
But I'm not striding coasts
Building sand castles and moats
I'm off to dig my own grave
No service is needed. No eulogy here.
All I need's this final resting place

So build me a tombstone
Engrave it by hand with "The Boy Who Mishandled Your Heart"
(My last goodbyes are to those who'll soon eat my insides)

I've been drawn and quartered. My limbs anchored
To spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn. I've crashed. I've burned.
Through catastrophe, it's been right here in front of me

Lyrics to No Ace, Just You :
I seem to have severed everything
From ties to knots I've bound
But no matter how articulated
Words could not have reached salvation
Cast me to this lonely island
Where I will forever live crestfallen

These heels, so used to sandy beaches are now
Ready for solid ground and rain clouds
These palm trees were never inviting
My pocket watch stopped and I am dying
For stars that line your coast
You are my torture

These leaves can't help but hear these things.
It turns fruit rotting
This tide brings salt-soaked memories
When freshwater life is all I need
All is never fair in love and war
These are the things that kings die for

These heels, so used to sandy beaches are now
Ready for solid ground and rain clouds
These palm trees were never inviting
My pocket watch stopped and I am dying
For stars that line your coast
You are my torture, are my torture

I'll be floating out at sea
Waiting for periscopes to spot my worn body
I'll be floating out at sea
Belly up, all I see are birds flying free

I'll be floating out at sea
Waiting for periscopes to spot my worn body
I'll be floating out at sea
Belly up, all I see are birds

Lyrics to B As In Burn :
I am the cicada
Who stayed behind
While the others left for the deep

I am the cicada
Who stayed behind
While the others left for the deep

Lyrics to Ants :
I am a point in the sky.
A star in a constellation.
I'm all you see.
I am Orion's eyes.
A towering giant's sight.
Me being of mammoth size,
This comes as no surprise.

I see all I've created
From my colossus stance.
I watch as my investment
Is swarmed by the busy ants.
They'll carry ten times the weight
If it means landing the deal.
They'll eat what's not on their plate
If it means a full meal.

Shine down on us now.
Wash our hands clean.
Lord knows they're filthy.
Blackened with greed.
Please be our savior,
Great deity.
Well if you can't save us,
Can this money?

I see all I've created
From my colossus stance.
I watch as my investment
Is swarmed by the busy ants.
They'll carry ten times the weight
If it means landing the deal.
They'll eat what's not on their plate
If it means a full meal.

Few have cut their strings
And risked it all to chase their dreams.
Most seek the quick buck.
The perfect tan.
The easy fuck.
Pray for their promotion.
They stay in line.
They please the queen.
They wait their turn.
Climb the hill.
At all costs, avoid the pain.
With my titan feet I could
End it with just one step.
You cannot dodge agony
If all ten tons of it
Comes stomping down on you at once
Like a bullet to the brain.
From my monster height
A healthy walk I contemplate.

Lyrics to Beware The Jubjub Bird And Shun The Frumious Bandersnatch :
She exits her gold chariot
One pump at a time.
Cloaked in her matching pin-striped
Arsenal of next month's nows.
She grazes through the dark,
Downtown concrete planes.
She seeks a special kill.
A flesh she's never had before.
A prey whose blood is rich with love.

I want to sink my teeth into
Skin I can't see through.
I'll clench my jaw deep down inside.
Lick my lips hoping to find
A taste of life with you.

Holes freckle her hips.
She's sick of breaking necks
With designer prints, French tips.
Her shoes as red as lips.
Every meal tastes alike.
I want something I can bite.
Like the tethers of this diet.
Let the shackles fill my cheeks.
Feed these itching jowls.
Flush my painted teeth.
My palate has been cleansed.

I want to sink my teeth into
Skin I can't see through.
I'll clench my jaw deep down inside.
Lick my lips hoping to find
A taste of life with you.

Jewels and stones cut so precise.
Held up by a ring.
Catches all glances and looks
Hoping to distract from
The finger to the left
So bare and unfurnished
Named for sporting such hardware.

With dreams cut so precise
She's held up by her strings.
She catches all glances and looks
Hoping to find someone that can
Dress her naked hand.
I'll tear my heart right out
And have you sport it as hardware.

Lyrics to Ear To Ear :
I wake my greedy eyes from a night spent dreaming
Ambitiously.
Cost-effectively.
Fingers stained with yesterday's highs and lows.
It's got to go.
It's all got to go.
It's a rob.
It's a steal.
You better land that deal.
You're in the big leagues now, sonny.
Buy low. Sell high.
Get a piece of the pie.
But leave the rest for me.

My destiny
Wasn't written in the stars.
It's been meticulously planned
And presented in a chart.
A flawless design
To truly satisfy.
You want results?
Look at the fucking smile
On my face.

I stick to the stats.
Go by the numbers.
I'm measured by threads and horse power.
Square feet and tender.
But now I'm old
Like an aging oak.
There's more gold secured
To my jaw than there ever was
To my name.

Its bark gets rougher by the day.
Limbs reach for its roots.
Its insides rot away until
It's just a hollow trunk.
It's only full
Of emptiness. And empty nests.
But save
The biggest slice for me.

Tailor, tailor.
Raise my inseam
And widen these cuffs.
Because I am dressed for success.
Tailor, tailor.
Stand clear.
I'm headed straight
for the top. The top. The top.
The dirt.

My destiny
Wasn't written in the stars.
It's been meticulously planned
And presented in a chart.
A flawless design
To truly satisfy.
You want results?
Look at the fucking smile
on my face.
