Our love is all that we ever had
Our love is all that we'll ever have Boys and girls, guys and dolls You were finding faith in bathroom stalls and broken beds, spring fractured spines Fall for the right kids at all the wrong times And in a world of sluts, we keep this wet dream alive Yeah, our drought is drying out You go nowhere in a nowhere town and no one's listening to the sound of breaking down and breaking out is just wishful thinking We're taking walks around the hearts and homes we'll never own You go nowhere in a nowhere town and no one's listening to the sound of breaking down and breaking out is just wishful thinking You go nowhere in a nowhere town We're growing up by falling down We love the songs because we live the songs in condemned flats between the rights and wrongs And all we know is that we live for now We love the hearts but the hearts love us even more Desperate and true, thinking of you Borrowed and blue, sinking with you Keep loving, keep breathing, keep living |

Send my regards, see my new scars?
I am half dead from all these love songs Intro to incoming end- sing the ones that make you live The world is spinning round and round And we're just staring at the ground (It's only everything) It's been too long since the last time we felt alive We're digging our own graves- we're damning our own prayers And these are songs the world would sing, but they're too deaf for honesty And these are lives the world would lead, but they're against injury Dance to the misery of your life put to backbeat Dance to the sound of everything you ever lost (Never had, nothing at all) I wouldn't be here if I'd never plugged in this outlet There is a world waiting for us to live in it (Viva Love) Sing everything you've ever loved For everything that you will one day love Long live the sound of desperation Long live the stereo of destruction |

Cold cold keep shaking
Sing sing keep sinking Let the cars keep swerving Let the songs keep skipping Crush crush keep kissing Shoot shoot keep missing I used to compare myself but I don't care anymore I never had it, you never had it We were young and the sun didn't shine on us Where is the life you thought you'd live? Where is the love you thought you'd give? Sipping on sympathy, feeding on tragedy This is our therapy for open heart surgery I'll never have it, you'll never have it- We were young and the rains came down on us We're humming 'Reveille' just slightly out of key (Our love is real to me) In Sunday's best singing free of things we'd like to be And left over puddles we'd run ourselves quietly This is our therapy, this is for you and me Our love is real to me |

You and me equals me (add it)
I am one life minus one And it is my math to do So fuck you (And you don't understand 'we' because you don't understand me) I'm sorry, so sorry for not making sense I have been shot in the left side of my chest The dust in the air, that irritates my eyes Floats in the light that beams from the hole in my chest |

Jesus and all his saints couldn't save our wretched face
And no man parting some sea could keep you from me We had to walk away from the streets that knew our names I stutter soft and say "I'd give you anything, anything and everything And you can tell the town We're down till we're underground" We lost the heartache sound when our order was found I burned a testament and misused 'heaven-sent' We made a comeback and it, it was received quite well The earth, for all its worth, never seemed so far from Hell Preach on and on Spread the good word of the holy healing Breathe in, breathe out and on Likely lifers put to song and dance and air has never seemed so clear I got a love/hate relationship with love and hate I get lost here and there You could say I was into the fact you even cared I'm a believer of there's nothing up above that could or should replace my Sunday's saving grace I repent the times that I said you don't exist My gospels from the Church of Stereo Activists |

Let me say that I know when I should be confessing
I'm counting everything- my change and blessings Chemists cursed me imbalanced I ran through the streets until my legs gave in "Hey, even without light I could see that we were failures" And I am coming clean of dreams that don't exist Oh God, it's in the air when it should be Safe between our hands "And love, even without light I could see that we would fail" Let me say what I mean Let me sleep on your floor Let me learn to love Cause I can feel my face sinking through bruised bones, barely hiding my mind Failure fascination - I got a count on all I'll never have And I am dying to not give up on this (And I confess, my fixation is my fix) And I've been running around trying to find my home Twenty years on the run trying to find my own (And I confess, a house is not a home) My head is red- my bones black and blue Fever burns- choke on words at the thought of you (And I confess, fixation is my fix) Sing a song for the disenchanted Hum a hymn for the misdirected A little love for the sons and daughters shadow-sitting life in forgotten corners (and then) I fell hard over myself again I confess my love for everything I woke up and needed to sleep again With the music bleeding in my veins Goddamn the yesterdays With the love of all there is to love We're who you're dreaming of With the music bleeding in my veins Goddamn the yesterdays With the love of all there is to love You're the one who we're dreaming of I confess... |

Sitting only cuz I couldn't stand to walk much further under black skies with watered eyes I was watching the tide rolling in
And I was thinking I should make fun here and start over again My legs barely hold all of my heart and soul My ears hardly hear Only our sound is clear My mouth merely moves the words just disappear My eyes see so clear the reason to care Maybe we weren't Supposed to wake up today Leaving me room only to celebrate that nothing's changed If I was there- If you were here the world Could end I wouldn't care So wake me up never, please, lock the door, and lose the keys My legs barely hold all of my heart and Soul My ears hardly hear only our sound is clear My mouth merely moves the words just disappear My eyes see so clear the reason To care To set the record straight- I never could relate And just when it all went wrong- You sang a different song Never knew Someone who knew how the years had been and I never thought that I would ever end up like this So hidden, far and gone, I'm so crowded Alone And I hope you understand, you fixed my broken plan |

The future could be ours or it could just be yours
We could just be walking closer to closed doors It was spoken then broken, we're hoping arms are open A wedding ring's surrendering and dying pretty is living well Just press stop, take it out, turn it off, return it I've got reasons for everything, everything except this We could be the b-side to the hit song without no soul We could sound like things were fine and find out they weren't at all We could go back to where we was, live life and feel so small Back where we started which was nowhere at all This is a remix of the same tears you shed before This is a remix of the same fears you shared before I thought that they made it clear (and they did) Our sound is not welcome here (you should know) This is the crush of the year in our night-vision dreams, know what I mean? You see yourself where you should be |

Stars lead the way home then the sidewalks ending
And I don't recall why we're still pretending Turn myself in for crimes I didn't commit I needed to feel truly innocent There was a song and I forget the name of it It seemed sincere and this is kind of how it went "It's one of those nights when you're not sure who the real you is anymore" Generations can be whatever they want to It's mid-afternoon and I'll be leaving soon Survivors are few and far between, between two parked cars headed for anywhere cause anywhere is better than here And in the ride, I become aware I'm probably not going anywhere It's one of those nights when you're not sure who the real 'you' is anymore I said that I would end myself but I think too much about family, you see I need to see if I can bask in a different world This is my swan song to my criminal boys and girls And no one really loves us as the sun does fall And a fact without no truth just isn't fact at all I want out of here, I need to find the stars but the sky's hiding them as we are ashamed of what we've ruined The words I write stuttered the times I spoke I've never been too close with love, life, trust and faith I need out of here, I need a head clear I know my voice isn't great but at least it's sincere We are so conditioned to fall It's sad the song of the year is still nothing at all |
