With so few words the nightmare plays out in so many ways. And I'll believe in the very first thing you tell me, so please tell me anything I ought to know. My love, so heavy, a stone I cannot throw. My signature is in your heart, but where is yours in mine? Honesty and foolish words, they scream your name. You're not yourself! I couldn't care less. All of this, in short, is not what I came for. When you fall apart, the pieces you're left with only grow further apart. And time narrowed your thoughts: my worst fear. And now they've poisoned your heart. In desperation, you fall apart! So much of you, taken from me! The mystery to me is why I so retain a future that's so fake and crude. With these things unnoticed what else will we do? When will we get through this, will we see this through? We must face this reality. We must face this sooner than you think. Use your heart to turn this over. Truth brings no remorse to those who wait. Go! You're not yourself! I couldn't care less. All of this, in short, is not what I came for.

I never seen it before, quite like this. You'd have to see it for yourself to believe. Forget about it, your comfort zone, they'll never pass us by. I know, I know what's in front of me where I see love inscribed in her lip. I go, I go home to familiar green whether I'm lost or found. When facing troubled times just keep yourself together, and stop wishing these blessings away. You've gone away from me so far, you've gone so far away. Hold me baby you're what keeps it together. I've seen enough here, can we get out, get away from the silence, pretend that everything's just fine? And so once more you find your cries ignored. There's no mistaking your fear, you're not alone. Keep your eyes open. Keep your fear. When facing troubled times just keep yourself together, and stop wishing these blessings away. You've gone away from me so far, you've gone so far away.

Quiet your words make my ears bleed. You've cut me so deep got me feeling so weak. I don't know if I'll ever be better this way, I'll never be sure. Waves of emotion all started with her. I'll let her know if things couldn't be worse. But must keep up the humor, not let you go first. You think that I'm bitter I'll love you all the same. It's just these words that we need to refrain. It's time to count my losses but please know that I still care. For this love just can't be over even though it'd be more fair. It's never been a good idea to wear your heart on your sleeve, like you wouldn't believe.

Look we've got our hands full, but naught's worth keeping, and all is spent. Look we've got both hands full, but it's sifting through our fingers, a grip forsaken in your eyes! Waking silence! As dawn becomes day in the breath of sunrise, breaking into golden light. Waking silence! I open my eyes to the sight of absence, another night of stolen dreams! Saw you in my dreams, golden thread and wings, floating overhead. Wake! I forgot your face, forgot what you said, in your golden voice. Look we've got our hands full right now, but what the hell did I- what did you do? This light we've created, it sparked from embers. Betray that light, it's me that you burn. I'd hurt you too, if I didn't fucking care so much! Promise me nothing more, these flames are choking your words! You're at the mercy of the one you destroyed. Searching for heroes in all the wrong places, but they'll take your hand with such pretty faces. Tears without meaning, something unforeseen, cause every new day takes another part of me. Heaven knows I've tried to bring out the hero in me. I'm floating away, I'm feeling weightless, estranged from each day. Never again will I let you come back. Go! Before I come to my senses. You'll never listen to my words, to my heart again. Run away and join the shadows, and take the hand of night. It's in the dark I won't find you to tear this apart. Hearts lost among the stars, never looking back, fading with the night. Lies! Saw it in your eyes. I am closing mine, hiding in my sleep.
