I can feel your presence inside
Across the wires of my mind
It's a feeling I never thought I'd get back
Timing itself when I'd least expect it
How long do you need to swallow your pride
Before you lie to me lying awake at night
Your mind is racing and this you can't deny
I eat away at you like a thief in the night
I don't know where to look to find my peace
Which road do I take while traveling?
And I don't wanna be found dead years down the road
Emptied, buried
And I don't wanna lose control
Emptied of my destiny
How long do you need to swallow your pride
Before you lie to me lying awake at night
Your mind is racing and this you can't deny
I eat away at you like a thief in the night

Drowning Above Water
03:48

How long does it take
Before his legs break and his arms fall off?
He's drowning under two feet of water
The lifeguard's off duty and not watching his daughter
The sirens sound miles away
And no one came to save the day
He got pushed off the deep end and into the shallows
But she was the one, who was too shallow
The blood escapes his veins
The oxygen leaves his brain
If I had my way, I'd still be alive and not dead under the ocean
If I had my way with you
You wouldn't be so quick to pull that damn trigger and
If you hadn't gotten away
You wouldn't be so quick to point your finger
In a perfect world there wouldn't be anyone like you like you like you
Her lips are like poison they go for the kill
His blood is like water it's easy spill
And everyone can tell (everyone can tell)
How she felt
A crowd gathers silent but still
No one admits but they enjoy the thrill
indifferently they stare at his remains
(and no one came to save the day)
If I had my way, I'd still be alive and not dead under the ocean
If I had my way with you
You wouldn't be so quick to pull that damn trigger and
If you hadn't gotten away
You wouldn't be so quick to point your finger
In a perfect world there wouldn't be anyone like you like you like you

I'll be an arrow in your skin
The second I get in
I'll latch on tight
I'll be a super sharp knife
I'll cut to your insides
I'll be your suture
Stitch you up alright
Stitch you up alright
I'll be a
A ball and chain orbit around your neck
Just to protect you (you, you, you)
I'll be an automatic colt 45 silenced
So you can sleep tonight
And if people kill people then just call me the gun
I can't be held accountable for anything that I've ever done
I'm just a
A pawn of a game in someone else's hands
And they're much bigger
And I sure hope they're smarter than I am
I'm the killer who sleeps in your backseat
And I'm the sinner who weeps for the incomplete
And I'm the fix you can't ever reach
Who's bleach white skin holds him in
And it's easy for you to say that everything will be okay
Cause it's your life and your decision to move away
And it's easy for me to see
I can't stand between you and your dreams
While it's hard for me to show
I just wanted to let you know one thing
I'd go for miles and miles and miles...
For you...

I opened my mouth and the words spilled down
Onto the ground where I stand
Before my tongue can refrain
And I reach out with my longest arms into the crisp clean air
And I snag a few choice words for you
And you say catch me as I fall
And I'll be your girl until the world ends
Or I'll pretend to
But I can't be your parachute
Because you're slightly out of hue
But that was years ago or so I'm told
And I can't catch control of my restless soul
Now I lost everything I own
It has been burned in the fire that dwells inside you
And you, you want the best of me
But you've had it and lost it it doesn't come for free
You'll get the worst of me, but it's not for keeps
And just remember the next time that you wanna get close to me
Cause your the best thing I know the only thing I ever owned
You were the greatest thing to me
And I can feel as my heart begins to race as I imagine your face
in a dark picture frame inside my brain
And I can feel as my finger tips press on these strings delivering
melodies for the songs that I sing
And I can feel as my voice constraints stretching to hit the notes that I hit and miss and miss
Telling tales of times you should have never been forced to endure
And so I opened my mouth and the words spilled down
Onto the ground where I stand
Before my tongue can refrain
And I reach out with my longest arms into the crisp clean air
And I take back those words before they reach your ears
You know I wish that I could
Until I open my eyes and the curtain falls
And you're not here anymore

Dark and by myself one last time this is me waiting on somebody else
Watching the clock arms wind
as the time flies by waiting to get outta my cell
Get out of myself the chemicals help
(me escape from what I've always been afraid of)
The chemicals help
And I know that you've got what I need
You've got my key
And I was wondering if you'd set me free
You've got the cure you've got the cure you've got the cure
You've got the cure to my disease
I'm just a man on the surface but a beast inside
Critics say one but I'm thinking five
Mics when I rock make the dead come alive
Thug life on my chest just livin' to die
Goin' hard on the grind plus I'm nine to five
And I'm doin' all this shit just to barely survive
People really wonder if I lost my mind
Sick of lookin' at the clock waitin' on my time
To live in the house on the hill, million dollar deal
Then again they'd probably try to change who I am
Leave me hangin' out on a limb I can do this on my own fuck them
Can never stop me from becoming what I'm destined to be
I can set your soul free with my freedom of speech
When you're so underground the surface is hard to reach
If you can't dig this guess my lyrics' to deep now sleep
And now I know that it won't be long before I'm
I'm sleeping with my lights on
Dreaming up a new song a new way a new way to write my life down
And I don't know why I try so hard cause it's not getting me anywhere
Success is so far away but I try each day
to keep myself from making the same mistakes
So now I'm uncomfortable, I'm uncomprable
And I'm unstoppable where I am
And I don't need your constructive criticism
Because I've done it and the way that I did it
So far has done me alright
It's done me alright
(The fame, the lights, I dream about that shit every night
My guitar, my mic, if I got them I'm gonna be alright
Despite the hate, clock tickin' but it's never too late
Determined to prosper, just call it fate)

I want to feel right in my own two shoes again
I watched you fall from heaven again
And through the star dust that marked your path
I viewed the planet where both had the best night
Of our miserable lives
I watched you burn in the atmosphere
And when I caught fire you extinguished them with your saddest tears
And once you broke (once you broke inside)
I watched you spread both your wings
And start to glide

I remember the day that I first laid my eyes on you
I couldn't think of what to say
So I said the first thing that came to head
Now here I lay singing this song in my bed
But it's not the same, my inspiration has left
Me in an unforgivable mess
I guess I somehow, let you down
Seems like it's one of those things I do these days
My life has turned upside down spiraled all around
And you knew it all along so now
My love for you is non-existent
Wilted like a flower after months without water
Being slaughtered by the sun
And now it burns like a fire in my heart
I remember the day that I last laid my eyes on you
It was a beautiful day almost as beautiful as black rain
Now I'm trying to forget all of my past regrets
Without any luck these thoughts are stuck in my mind
I guess I somehow, let you down
Seems like it's one of those things I do these days
My life has turned upside down spiraled all around
And you knew it all along so now
My love for you is non-existent
Wilted like a flower after months without water
Being slaughtered by the sun
And now it burns like a fire in my heart

You fight for your life
As if you were going to die
But if I could lay down mine
Would that suffice?
Would it be alright?
I've tried a thousand times
To wait around for you to change your mind
But if I'm right then why should I
Have to feel bad if it makes you cry?
It's my sacrifice
In this birdcage we call our house we both want out
Caged windows newspaper floors who could ask for more?
And the shit we eat it just fills us up
I'm so unhealthy and I smoke too much
But I don't give a fuck I wouldn't give it up
It's just a stupid fight
I'd rather, I'd rather die

I am falling out I'm falling out of place
And everyone else is tall and I'm the only one
(Who's meant to fall down)
And home doesn't seem like home anymore
(It doesn't matter now)
Your decision is final there's no going back
(And you can't take back everything you said)
Even if you didn't hurt you will now
Cause it's a long way
Down to the bottom where you can't get out
There's no answers only fear that you have felt
This is destroying me and everything I need
I can't live like this
And I'm fading away farther and faster than we both know
But it's for the better
And what am I doing what have I done
What am doing what have I done
(Cause it's a long way
Down to the bottom where you can't get out
There's no answers only fear that you have felt
This is destroying me and everything I need
I can't live like this)

Intangible Man Pt. 1

I've seen many roads I've traveled many lines
But this time I'm not doing fine
Some may say I am like night
Gone unseen during daylight
But this is what I am
I'm the intangible man
I sneak around in your head
I'm what you wish you would've said
You know the impossible dream
Yeah well it's me
And once your blood starts running cold
And the pages turn empty you'll see

Everyday's a different kind of torture
Another rip on my feelings
You just can't seem to find your way around it
Without scarring yourself for life
I'm just a series of psychological mishaps
That you don't wanna have anything to do with
Because if you do you might make yourself look bad
But for all you know it might be better than anything you've ever had
And I never wanted you to see
This other side, the other side of me
And there's a piece of me that's missing
Everytime I think of you
I staring through the window of opportunity
Staring from the lockbox of unseen clarity
So many missed chances I have to forget
I have to leave here with no regrets
And I never wanted you to see
This other side, the other side of me
And there's a piece of me that's missing
Everytime I think of you

I left my life behind
With a string in my hand so I could find my way back
When the dark gets cold and when I grow older
Like a blind man not knowing which direction he's going
The world is too dark for someone as afraid
So I leap like faith
Don't wanna hit the ground
No I can't hit ground
And I fell out of the sky
And the floor drops from beneath my feet
I can't eat and it's been four weeks
Since I last left you the first time I met you
Haven't fled my mind
Just know that it won't be the last time
(No it won't be the last)
Time and time once again we end
On this Sunday
I left my life behind
With a string in my hand and now it's dragging me back
Wrapped around my neck air is what I'm lacking
Like a blind man not knowing whether he's coming or going
The world was too dark before I met you
So I leap like faith
Don't wanna hit the ground
Oh no I hit the ground
And I fell far from the sky
And the floor drops from beneath my feet
I can't eat and it's been four weeks
Since I last left you the first time I met you
Haven't fled my mind
Just know that it won't be the last time
(No it won't be the last)
Time and time once again we end
On these Sundays

I woke up early in the morning only to find
A note left on the kitchen table saying goodbye
(This is done)
How would you like to find the only thing you loved was gone
Don't bother to call I'm not alone
I hope you find your happiness
You took my confidence and then you fed it to the world
Now you want out, this isn't fun now
Come back when you find a boy just like me
Oh the irony
I hope he's so perfect for you
That when you sink your fangs in
You find out he's made of poison
(Oh how I wish to find a punishment
to satisfy and will serve you right)

I'm feelin pretty wired but I'm just sittin around
My dreams ain't made of raindrops
and they ain't just gonna spill down on me
My best friend's ditchin town
We created the band that created this cool sound and
I was wishin I had something to be proud of
Before I found guitar, my school, and my true love
And if you don't understand these truths that I speak of
Then you haven't lived your life enough
So hop on that
The trains on the track
And the conductor is ready to go
And don't look back
By the time you act the train whistle blows
And don't close your eyes
The truth is your disguise
And no one knows where you'll go
Until you realize you fucked up your life
I'll still be wishing that you come home
Cause it's another day I can't live without you
I tried to hard to get you to notice me
But in the end I guess I failed miserably
But what do I have to say
To what you had to say?
I'll never need you more than now
I'm blinded by my conscience
In this battle of epic proportions
I don't want any more of this
You buried yourself alive in my mind
And I can't dig you out
You struggle for air but I can't supply
No I won't watch you die
No I won't let you die
No I won't let you down

I'm the Cooler One
04:34

Yeah it took me a while
Before I knew anything
But now I know everything
The knowledge rolls down my cheek
To the tip of my chin
And when it's released
And when it hits the ground
I'll hit the ground
And weep but that won't last long
You'll see
Cause I'll write it down
Every word I thought that you should hear
Then I'll tuck it away in a box you'll never see
No way you'll ever read anything about me
(No way you'll ever be anything like me)
But someday you'll see
You'll go buy my cd
Just so you can hear me
Sing about everything
Everything that I thought that you could be
Then you'll realize that in some eyes
I'm everything
I'm everything
I'm everything
I believed
(Someday you'll see)
Then you'll see
That I'm the cooler one
Yeah I'm the cooler one
I'm the cooler one
(Someday you'll see)
(You gotta take what you love
cause loving what you find
just isn't enough
You gotta take the time to hug
cause someday she'll be gone
and you'll wish you would've)
