Brandtson

Conversation one,
counting clicks on second hands
its only just begun,

Trust in me to trust in you
to take my breath away,
surrounding me with
questions that I've
answered for
time and again,

This time I won't be wrong,
I've got your second chance
and it won't be long
before you see yourself,

Conversation two,
holding on is, holding you
again with breaking arms,
Forget us and this second chance
so you can break it off,
Another finish with no end,
another plan to
start this up again,

There's nothing left to say,
we tried it your way,
This time I won't be wrong,
I've got your second chance
and it won't be long,
and you're always always questioning
what I can't get wrong,
I've got your second chance
and it's not that long
until you see yourself.

Listen carefully
there's a price,
is it harder for you
to take my advice?

Are you tired?
Do you still want to live?
Is there anything left
that you're willing to give?

Are you selfish?
Does it set you back?
Are you serious
like a heart attack?

Are you calling me
for some kind of answer
or waiting around
for a second chance?

Well don't come
crying back to me
when you're lonely
and all out of love,

Don't come
crying back to me
when you're helpless
and all out at luck,

Do you feel it
when you're frozen inside?
Do you still swear to God
you've got nothing to hide?



Does it cut you deep
like a razor blade?
Does it hurt when I say
don't do me any favors?

Well don't come
crying back to me
when you're lonely
and all out of love,

Don't come
crying back to me
when you're helpless
and all out at luck,

Stop waiting
there's no answer,
and no sense in
second chances,

It's pointless
and it's useless,
sorries won't help
you through this,

Don't come crying back to me.

I wonder now and then
If I ever really knew what brought the end,
If I got the truth my friend,

So I brought you here tonight
to finally get to your insides,
Close the drapes and lock the door,
I'll ask once more, so.

I just have to know,
Is there something on your mind?
Maybe something that you never said,
Now all we have is time,
So break it over my head,

Blink your eyes
once for 'yes'
twice for 'no'
I'm listening,

Take your time
as you decide
we have all night to do this,

You're not going anywhere,
Tie your ankles to this chair.
Don't be scared, the choice is yours,
Truth or dare?



You look as sharp as this knife,
I'm not done with you and I.
You said you already told me why,
Well.how 'bout now?

Is there something on your mind?
Maybe something that you never said,
Now all we have is time,
So break it over my head,

I'm just trying to break my fall
I meant you no harm at all.

So go on
be you,
So strong
and so cruel.

It's just a thought I had,
It's really not that bad

And this one is certainly
an interesting story.
It starts with an ending

and we're both characters in play.
On the same stage
but on a different page

you'll go on to become
the queen of some kingdom.

And I'll be that monster of myth
off in some forest, mire or filth.

This time around
I'll meet you halfway
and I won't spend my life
lying awake at night.

And they'll say
I'm the emerald
missing from your crown.

The greatest escapist
the world has ever known.



Now it's so clear to me.
We should have seen this coming
back at the beginning.
We both chose to take this road
to the same place
but at a different pace.

This time around
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't spend my life
Lying awake at night

And I'll say
I'm the fabled
one that let you down.

The greatest escapist
the world has ever known.

This is what they call paying your dues.
Dont evey say it, I want nothing from you.
Doing what I can to forget the past.
Just dont think I can quite so fast.

Hey. Hey, hey. This is the end.

Glass on the floor and blood on the mirror.
Clean up quietly so no one will hear ya.
Put up your feet I got something to sell ya.
Pull up a chair and watch the world go to hell.

Hey. Hey, hey. This is the end.
Hey. Hey, hey. Leave me for dead.
Cause I told you this would happen and it did.

Wake up, walls are sweating.
Make yourself beautiful.
Wait for the sound to die out.
Kick and scream and fight for your soul.

Hey. Hey, hey. This is the end.
Hey. Hey, hey. Leave me for dead.
Cause I told you this would happen and it did.

Armed to the teeth
with hopes and dreams.
Falling apart
at the seams.

This time were
playing for keeps.
You wonder whats in it for me?

Hey. Hey, hey. This is the end.
Hey. Hey, hey. Leave me for dead.
Cause I told you this would happen and it did.
Youre just standing
and youre clapping
as you burn your bed.

Hey. Hey, hey. This is the end.
Hey. Hey, hey. Leave me for dead.
Leave me for dead.
Leave me for dead.

Hello, it's mercy medical
we're sorry to inform you of
this situation critical. Hello,

it's mercy medical,
we've done everything we can do
there's nothing left
its up to her and so

welcome to your funeral
where they talk about the girl they knew,
a tragedy a shame to lose her, oh.

A little girl so beautiful
a life so new and meaningful,
that little girl so beautiful.

Is it difficult to swallow
when the air is thin
and you can hardly breathe?

Tell them now,
they'll listen now,


they'll help you now,
just tell them how.

Does it feel like nothing ever changes,
and make you want to sleep forever?

Tell them now,
they'll listen now,
they'll help you now,
just tell them how.

It's bravery to stay away
from ending life before it's over.

Hello.

it's hard to see the sun sometimes through these eyes.
it's hard to see the truth sometimes looking through these eyes.
but yet i try.
windowsill world of mine.
maybe sometime i'll get up and go outside.
leap of faith.
i could close my eyes and jump.
the hope of someday is safer and it doesn't hurt as much.
i stand at the edge of the world and i cry.
the rain beating down on my face
as i try to swallow my fear of failing again.
and wait for the clouds to break for the sun.
do you remember the time when you said
you could see the worry in my eyes.
you don't know how hard i've tried to let it go.


let it all subside.
things seem so different when i look into your eyes.
it all seems so simple when i look in from the outside.
everything seems fine.
you know me better than i know myself.
and i trust you more than i trust anyone else.
but promises broken are promises made.
at least from what i've seen it all fades away

Records on the floor.
I'm giving back whats yours
remember us last weekend
dancing to the psychedelic furs.

I tried to tell myself
that we could be alright.
now it's me and my
cigarettes and alcohol tonight.

So screen all the phone calls
and put the chain on the front door.
and if you see her
tell her I don't live here anymore.

Driving neighbors crazv
with after hour fights
everything makes more sense
thank God that we broke it off that night.

Holding on to you
is like playing with broken glass.
I'm fighting off the memories
and all the living in the past.

The post cards in the drawer


The pictures on the wall.
The sound of little footsteps
that echo through the hall.

sound like a heart beat.
It's like a heart beat
It's like a heart break beat
and it's beating out of me.

So screen all the phone calls
and put the chain on the front door.
and if vou see her
tell her I don.t live here anymore.

So pull all the shades down
and turn off the radio.
and if you see her
tell her I moved down to Mexico.

You are my accident with angel eyes.
My car crash with a perfect little smile.
The kind at thing that changes everything you thought that you knew.
Do you ever feel like someone's looking down the barrel at you?

Is it still raining where you are?
Is it still cloudy outside your window?
Is it still raining where you are?
Does it follow you everywhere you go?

You are a tidal wave with sympathy.
A tsunami ripping through me with such sweet sincerity.
I've got to, got to get through this alive. Alive.
And even now I think I'll probably manage somehow to survive.

This is comatose.


Just let me out.
Just let me out.

You're my overdose.
Just let me down.
Just let me down.

Wake up and tell yourself that it's all right.
You don't have to be the one to lie awake tonight.

Radio man,
get us a signal,
we need to establish
some communication.

You're breaking up captain,
repeat your position,
receiving distortion,
repeat your location.

Echo to base,
we're taking on fire,
send reinforcement
we can't hold the line.

We're under attack
requesting permission
to sound the retreat
and forfeit the mission.

Say it back,
say it loud,
send us help
and send it now.
we're not waiting any longer
now you've got to get us out



Radio man,
try them again,
it's now or it's never
if you want to live.

They're moving in close
we're losing our light,
if we don't reach them now
then we won't last the night

Echo to base,
the front line is down,
the company's weak
and too few to hold out,

Captain come back,
please say again,
the signal is fading out
someone come in.

I've been sitting here waiting,
trying to fall asleep,
There is an answer in
my head to see, but I can't stop the fight,
I've been going crazy,
there's nowhere to run
and I'm feeling so hazy.
It's the drugs that I took,
the wine that I drank,
the nights here alone
and my head in the sink.
I need time to myself
back on the sea,
I want nothing more
than for you to be here with me.
Is it wasted alone,
am I wasting away?
Just one more year
I won't take that away from you

Back on the road
here on the land,
it's not cracked up to be
all it is understand
where I'm coming, I've gone,
I'd see you around,


I've been here before
curled up on the ground.
Make it here on my own,
away from today,
with all of the faces
I'm seeing the same.
Got you out on the ocean,
here on the sea,
the waves in your face
and you're shouting at me.
Won't you
lay here awake,
don't fall asleep
holding me holding on
it makes sense to me.
But you wouldn't allow
and it's killing me now,
don't you know.
