Was losing all my friends Was losing them to drinking and to driving Was losing all my friends but I got them back I am on the mend At least now I can say that I am trying And I hope you will forget things I still lack Yeah Yeah Is it in you now? To bear to hear the truth that you have spoken Twisted up by knaves to make a trap for fools Is it in you now? To watch the things you gave your life to broken And stoop and build them up with worn out tools Yeah *Chorus* Nothing gets so bad A whisper from your father couldn't fix it Your whispers like a bridge, he's a river span Take all that you have and turn it into something you were missing Somebody threw that brick And shattered all your plans Yeah *Chorus* Time to get the seeds into the cold ground It takes a while to grow anything Before its coming to an end yeah Before you put my body in the cold ground, take some time to warm it with your hands Before it's coming to an end, yeah It's coming to an end Do you miss the blend Of colours she left in your black and white field Do you feel condemned just being there? I am not your friend I am just a man who knows how to feel I'm not your friend I'm not your lover, I'm not your family. Yeah *Chorus* Time to get the seeds into the cold ground It takes a while to grow anything Before it's coming to an end yeah |

I used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original. I used to care, I was being careful. Made sure I showed it to those that I love. I used to sleep without a single stir, 'Cause I was about my father's work. Well Take me out tonight, The ship of fools I'm on will sink. A millstone around my neck, Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give. I used to pray a God was listening. I used to make my parents proud. I was the glue that kept my friends together, Now they don't talk and we don't go out. I used to know the name of every person I kissed. Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it. Take me out tonight, The ship of fools I'm on will sink. A millstone around my neck, Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give. Throw me that lifeline, The ship of fools I'm on will sink. A millstone around my neck Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give. Never hit the brakes There's no time to save him, He's run out in the street Anybody know his name? I think I recognize him Sure it's him? Running from that mistake Whoa. So take me out tonight. The ship of fools I'm on will sink. A millstone around my neck. Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give. To save my life tonight. The ship of fools I'm on will sink A Millstone around my neck Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give. |

Jesus Christ has a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save If they don't put me away It'll be a miracle Do you believe you're missing out And everything good is happening somewhere else? But with nobody in your bed The night's hard to get through And I will die all alone And when I arrive, I won't know anyone Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again So what did You do those three days You were dead? 'Cuz this problem's gonna last More than the weekend Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die I'm a little bit scared of what comes after Do I get the gold chariot? Do I float through the ceiling? Do I divide and fall apart? 'Cuz my bright is too sly to hold back all my dark And the ship went down in sight of land And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands? I know you'll come in the night like a thief But I've had some time alone to hold my lies I know you think that I'm someone you can trust But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to never give up So do you think that we could work out a song Some know that it's you and that it's over so I won't even try I know you'll come for the people like me But we all got wood and nails, we're tongue tied to a hating factory Yeah, we all got wood and nails, we're tongue tied to a hating factory Yeah, we all got wood and nails, and we sleep inside of this machine |

Goodbye to sleep
I think that staying up is exactly what I need Take apart your head Take apart the counting, And the flock it has bred. Goodbye to love, Its right, I'll push you up, Right against the wall Take apart your head (right against the wall) Chew it up and swallow it But I'll bet that you're running I've been sleeping in the alkaline I can't shake this little feeling I'll never get anything right Goodbye, you liar Well, you sipped from the cup But you don't own up to anything Then you think you will inspire Take apart your head (I wish I could inspire) Take apart the demon, in the attic, to the bed. (Goodbye my love) But I'll bet that you're running (Goodbye my love) I've been sleeping in the alkaline (Goodbye my love) I can't shake this little feeling (Goodbye my love) I never say anything right (I'm on my own) I never say anything right (I'm on my own) I never say anything right (I'm on my own) I never say anything right, right, right (I'm on my own) Take me, take me, back to your bed I love you so much that it hurts my head I don't mind you running through my skin Oh, let the bad parts in, the bad parts in When we were made, we were set apart Life is a test and I get bad marks Now some Saint got the job, Of writing down my sins The storm is coming; The storm is coming in! But I'll bet that you're running I've been sleeping in the alkaline I can't shake this little feeling I never did anything right (I'm on my own) I never did anything right (I'm on my own) Take me, take me back to your bed I love you so much, that it hurts my head Say, I don't mind you under my skin Oh, let the bad parts in, the bad parts in You're my favorite bird, and when you sing I really do wish you would wear my ring No matter what they say, I am still the king Now, the storm is coming; The storm is coming in. |

When I disappear, do you think all of this will have stood
When I disappear it is clear I am up to no good Only after you realize that you need what you've already lost Touch me or don't (I just wanna know) Where've you been? Well drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait Well I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake Shimmering under the moon made of anger and hate Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grate Touch me or don't Where've you been? Leave it alone I'm sure there's someone who knows where you've been You never worked well with our group, no one can fault you now. We'll fix you with cement galloshes, no one can save you now. Unless you have friends among fish, There'll still be no air to breathe. You can drink up the entire ocean And still find someone To be everything we know that you'll never be Touch me or don't Where've you been? Leave it alone I'm sure there's someone who knows where you've been Where've you been? Where've you been? Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa, ah! |

Who do you carry the torch for my young man?
Do you believe in anything? Do you carry it around just to burn things down? Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling Cause we believe in everything, If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown So we'll strap ourselves up to this engine now, With a God that we found laying under the backseat. What did you learn tonight? Shouting so loud you barely see, You're this broken thing, You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say. You were freezing over hell, You were bringing on the end you do so well You can only blame yourself, that's what I say All that you've taught is to ignore the things I was showing And sweep me under the rug, You're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love, There is an ember in the heart of the kiln and its burning hot with love, Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust, Rolling me with care into your cigarette, Cause the God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail. What did you learn tonight? Shouting so loud you barely see, You're this broken thing, You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say. You were freezing over hell, You were bringing on the end, you do so well You can only blame yourself, that's what I say Who do you carry that torch for my young man? Do you believe in anything? Do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground? What did you learn tonight? Shouting so loud you barely see, (feels like we could escape, I don't mind throwing away the filthy silver song.) You're this broken thing, You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say. (if you try running the maze of your lies it's too hard to save, If you've thrown out everyone.) You were freezing over hell, You were bringing on the end, you do so well You can only blame yourself, that's what I say |

Do you believe in anything? Do you carry it around just to burn things down? Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling 'Cause we believe in everything If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown So we strap ourselves into this engine now With a guard that we found a way into the backseat What did you learn tonight? You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing You're a voice that never sings, is what I say You were freezing over hell You were bringing on the end, you do so well You can only blame yourself, it's what I say All that you've got is to ignore the things I was sorry And sweep me under the rug And a beating with a book everyone, the book tells you to love There is an ember in the heart of the kiln And it's burning hot with love Burning out my sins until there's nothing but dust Holding me with care into your cigarette 'Cause the God I believe in worked on a campaign trail What did you learn tonight?

I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs I'd arrest you if I had the time I'd throw you down in the backseat As if you committed a terrible crime We break into towns worth of houses And rob whole families blind I'd do it to you like you do it to me If I knew you would get away fine I'd drown all these crying babies If I knew that there mothers wouldn't cry I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft And let a piece of myself die It's hard to be the better man When you forget you're trying It's hard to be the better man I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs I'd arrest you if I had the time I'd wait for you outside the courtroom (and taunt you) As all of your appeals were declined I'd drive my car off of the bridge If I knew that you weren't inside Put the pedal to the floor, who could ask for more A fantastic way to kill some time If you could lay on your back and be beaten You could put up your fists and fight (You could try anyway) It's hard to be the better man When you forget you're trying It's hard to be the better man When you're still lying It's hard to be the better man When you forget you're trying It's hard to be the better man When you're still lying You're still lying |
