i felt like i could be saved
and you were gonna save me
how could i be so wrong?
how come it took so long?
i felt like we could save this
and i was gonna save us
how could i be so wrong
when it felt so right?
how come it took so long
for me to realize it?

she says she regrets nothing
she says it's not my fault
she says it was worth doing
but i know that can't be true
if this is what love is
i think i'll pass
she says she's doing well
she says life is good
she says she hopes i'm okay
but i know she doesn't really care
if this is what love is
i think i'll pass

Sandcastles

she builds me sandcastles and i fall in love all over again
somewhere i feel close to drowning in her sound
she builds me sandcastles
and just like that, it disappears with the rising tides
somewhere i feel close to drowning in her sound

Limb from Limb
03:13

i'll rip you limb from limb
and smile as your body sinks to the bottom
i've grown sick and weary these past few months
and i can't wait to burn it down
i just wanted to feel something
i'll rip you limb from limb
and smile as you bleed out on the floor
i'll paint the town with your fluids
and leave you gasping for air
i always wanted to feel something
and now i know i can

Every Last Drop
03:30
|
|||
when i see her standing there
i wince at the possibilities
of all the disappointments
of all the maybes
but i can’t stop
until i’ve spilled every last drop
we are the dreams we fail to realize
but it keeps our hearts fortified
from all the disappointment
from all the maybes
i can’t stop
until i’ve spilled every last drop
i’m drowning in all your maybes

Nothing in My Head
02:16
|
|||
we were once one soul
But I was living in a cocoon
i could not see the world outside
as it was a suffocating womb
you killed me when you left
so I’m laying here dead
my body is but a hollow shell
for there is nothing in my head

Skyscraper

a shadow cast upon your window
a photograph frayed at the edge
memories atrophied like the voice of a melancholy songbird
here it comes, there it goes, everything you know
could be summed up in a lazy poem
but as twilight lurches closer
we can hear the sirens scream…
i can feel the noise creeping back in
pushing me back into the nest
i'm much too much for anyone else
this is probably for the best
i don't belong here with you

Shallow Graves
02:59
|

whatever yields the best results
is whatever feels like the best insults
oh no! i've mismeasured our love
oh well! i'd just as well give up
some brain i possess
and every day you spent realigned
was every day i spent redesigned
oh no! i've fucked up again
i've scratched the skin off my arms
oh no! i've fucked up again
but the scars are picked and licked clean

Left/Right
02:30

my left brain tells me / that this calculated risk
isn't worth the effort / it's not something i'll miss
and the violent subduer / with his new blade drawn
will slowly cut us open / revealing our tender hearts
my right brain tells me / that there's music in the air
and the longer we postpone it / love will surely disappear
and the sadness we feel / when it doesn't go our way
is only temporary blindness / for the endless light show on display
i'm not sure what to build
but i know it's gotta start with you

i'm waiting for your heartbeat to begin its rhythm
i'm in awe - in shock - of who you've become
i couldn't be more proud of what you've done
so brace yourself; this is gonna hurt
this world doesn't care if you bleed
and you'll die alone like all the rest
so i wait for your heartbeat
to begin again
your eloquence is staggering in light of these events
you overcomplicated everything and you hold yourself back
so brace yourself; this is gonna hurt
they can't wait to watch you as you bleed
and you'll die alone like all the rest
i blindly embrace your heartbeat to try to get it
to begin again
