Live together, die alone

Woke up one day with a shadow on my back
Noticed silhouettes keeping me intact
No one should hold on to the past
If it means holding on to regret

Oh god please grant me the sweet relief of breath
I just need to get this off of my chest

Somehow I know Im destined to die alone
When love has turned my heart to stone

I can feel the devil on my back
Creeping up like a heart attack-attack-attack
He is the darkness inside my head
Telling me I am better off dead

Oh god won't you stand on my shoulder
Give me the strength to tear him asunder

Somehow I know I'm destined to die alone
I hope to be reunited with you soon

So tell me who wrote our play
Who wrote all the words I will say
Is is you or is it me
Who is the star of this story

Is it filled with cliches?
Will I die of a broken heart?
Was my life written out for me?
Do I have a choice?
What's my story?
Do I get to choose, who I fall in love with?
Do I have control of my own body?
Time will tell if I will be happy
Time will tell if I will sleep soundly
Time will tell
Time will tell
If we live together
And die alone

Sinking

I hate all the ship metaphors
That I create to anchor myself to
How much I have sank
Since I've set sailed from you

And I am looking for
Something to keep myself alive
And I realized
Despite my darkest thoughts
That I don't want to die

Now watching lightning crash down on all of my dreams
I'm looking for a way to see in between the lines
That have been drawn between you and me

And I am looking for
Something to keep myself alive
And I realized
Despite my darkest thoughts
That I don't want to die

There's no silver lining to be found under the sea of memories where I drowned
And there is no hope to be found in the skies of heaven from where I fell
And there is no fear to be found in the depths of hell where i belong
A skeleton of a man I have become waiting for the bugs to eat my bones

Young Again

Let's walk to the park when the sun is setting
Sit on the swings, pretend we're young again
and I know things changed
but I'd kind of like to see you again
Although I know
I can't let that happen

I would love to re-meet you
start over again
'cause my memory
refuses to let you back in

Let's walk to the river when the sun is rising
Sit on the edge, pretend we're in love again
And I know things changed
But Id kind of like that to stay the same
Although I know
That won't ever happen again

I would love to re-meet you
Start over again
'cause my memories
Refuse to let you back in

Times are tough
This ride is fucked
I don't think I'll ever be
Ripe for the taking
Cause I keep giving
My self away
To anyone who asks

I would love to re-meet you
Start over again
Cause im so tired
Of these memories of you

I would love to re-meet you
But I know how it would end
I would end up hating you
Just like how we turned out
The first time

Seasonal Monsters

With each passing day
I face the darkest array
Of monsters and men
They sleep in my head
They call themselves my friends
And I tend to believe them

Running from shadows in daylight
They catch up to me at midnight
Blue eyes turned black eyed
From back alley bar fights
Between me and my mind
Losing track of time
Looking for a sign
Will I be okay one day?

Scars highlight my skin
Telling tales of failed defense
I guess I wasn't strong enough
To fight off my darker thoughts
My weakness shows the truth
Of what I have been through

Running from shadows in daylight
They catch up to me at midnight
Blue eyes turned blacked eyed
From back alley bar fights
Between me and my mind
Losing track of time
Looking for a sign
Will I be okay one day?

I think it's just this autumn weather
I feel like I am dying with the leaves
I can't wait til the flowers of spring
Start blooming in the rain
Maybe then I will have hope again

Bedroom Emotions

I blame it on the ecstasy I'm feeling
But I want to see your bed room ceiling
Tell me what words I can say to you
To make this dream come true

All I really want to do
Is to see your bedroom
All I really want to do
Is to see your bedroom

I'm not usually this kind of guy
I have exes who would testify
But I think that I just might
Find to find a way to share these covers tonight

All I really want to do
Is to see your bedroom
All I really want to do
Is to see your bedroom

I think i'm getting drunk off the thought of you
I just hope that you're getting drunk too
Cause how else would I get to be
In your bedroom under your sheets

All I really want to do
Is to see your bedroom
All I really want to do
Is to see your bedroom

All I really want to do
Is to sleep next to you
All I really want to do
Is to sleep next to you

The Avalanche

The snow fell with such beauty at dawn
Until I scarred it with my defects
I know now, that I am the monster here
I am the abominable snowman

This is me collapsing
This is the avalanche
This is me collapsing
This is the avalanche

Ex-Friends Forever

I don't know how I should feel
About you're uncommon sex appeal
Every word that you have said
Has brought me to an early end
And I know that you're a bitch
But I think that I'm okay with it

I've made choices I regret
But I know that I can't go back
To the way things used to be
The only problem is that
I'm dying without her

I've seen lightning strike you twice
And now you no longer have the will to fight
You've accepted the anchor
Dragging you down with all it's might
And I so desperately wanted to save you
But that anchor draged me down too

I've made choices I regret
And I would love to go back
To the way things used to be
The only problem is
I was dying with her

And I didn't know
How to rectify
This situation
I said goodbye
So long ago
And all I wanted
Was to crawl my way
Back to you
Even though I knew
It would destroy us both

And now the end is near my dear
Regrettably i know, i don't care
The story of two poisonous friends
That at one point tried to be lovers
Only to end up losing each other
