whatever you want
04:09

you can hardly know when you will fade away
you say you can feel it almost every day
i know in the past time has never been on your side
i know why you let these moments pass you by
so the past will never feel so far
but you can get whatever you want
finally went and made a stand for yourself
before you had to give up and ask for help
so now when rain falls, when you used to try to run and hide
now you never let that moment ever go by
where you used to be afraid to have fun
now you can get whatever you want
do you regret it when you say what you want?
do the ones around you leave while you watch?
but i'll fight for it, no matter the cost
so that i can have whatever i want

every person you've ever kissed has felt better because of it
it put a spring into their step
they never got quite enough of it
and everyone you will ever love will be rolling through the hills
they'll feel the comeup and the peaks
but then come down for a couple weeks
we drew the lines into the sand
and i could hardly bare to stand
we never ever said goodbye
but now it's been several months and i don't know why
the time passes way too slow because of it
your x's and my y's
made a parabola of me
got used to maxing out and fell in the drop so steep
once a week for the past few months i meet a woman at her door
she calls consistently for food
and so i do what i can do
and nothing changes, sun or grey sky, everything's the same
since we both know we're stuck in place
now nothing ever has to change
it doesn't take an acrobat
why couldn't things just stay like that?
we'll never get older or die
but you and i both know the truth and it makes me cry
now i'll never let you go because of it
yeah they all wish they were us because of it
your x's and my y's
you left a note up on your bed
sincerely thanks for stopping again
it doesn't take an acrobat
got used to maxing out and fell in the drop so steep

again and again

last monday was the best one day that i have ever had
but now i can't seem to win again, i
broke my phone just to be alone cause
my brain is fried i guess
this shit is never any different
just happens again and again
the same thing again and again and again
i lost some cash to go too fast and
now i'm paying the price
but i just don't give a shit about it
i stop sometimes to check your mind and
see if you have changed
but i can't see any kind of difference
just happens again and again
the same things again and again and again
on some days i guess it makes sense to us
but some days are better than others
yeah right from the start this'll break your heart
and show you who you are for what you do
never feels wrong
never feels right
it's never any different
just happens again and again
the same things again and again and again

ember in the ash
03:21
|

|
we hide in the crowds
we go to places where nobody cares where you are
a drink of water, a sip of wine
a hit of something that just might help us
to pass the time
ember in the ash
it's such a waste of life
you're on the corner in the starlights
ember in the ash
i never say no to it
i'll light another just to get lit
so i'll be burning in the stars
i keep to myself
there's nobody that's caught my eye
in quite a while
my beat of the drum is a roll of the dice
better hurry up and love someone
before you die
ember in the ash
it's such a waste of life
you're on the corner playin outside
ember in the ash
i never say no to it
i'm on the corner for a few hits
cause i've got nothing left but time
i've got nothing left but time

trying
04:16

the world ran out of hands to hold today
now no one is to blame when this whole planet goes to hell
and time moves slowly more these days
the goodness in creation is that solitary smile
and so i promised to myself
that i'd try to show some love
to all who deserve it
so i'll show it to my friends or die trying
and i've seen enough dead ends
to know i've gotta pick one lane and
stick with it
i swear i'll get to hell or die trying
one night a couple years ago
i spent a week inside a room just
spinning through the stars
my mind went through a washing machine
imaginary friends appeared to
guide me through the night
and i promised to myself
that i'd try to show some love
to all who deserve it
so i'll show it to my friends or die trying
and i've seen enough dead ends
to know i've gotta pick one lane and
fight for it
i swear i'll keep it up or die trying

wish
03:14
|
|||
|
i'm escaping the boundary
i'm tired of being alone
hope it will be worth it
i'd give up my skin and my bones
i'm scared of the boundary
so i'm barely trying at all
cause when i work for it
it hurts that much harder to fall

now i know the score
03:14

|
now i know the score
now i know how i got by
now i cannot breathe
now i know why i was up
while everyone is sleeping
i'm shooting for the wall
and nobody expects me to
get that good at all
once i was so certain but
now i know the score
now i'm in the rain
now i know what gets me down
now i've gone insane
now it's clear who i've become
while everyone is sleeping
i'm shooting for the wall
and nobody expects me to
get that good at all
back then i was so selfish but
now i know the score

snow
02:20

snow in the air
snow on the rise
snow in the driveway and
snow in the skies
it's hard not to ignore it
when it gets in my eyes
but i can't say it's any surprise
wind blowing past
cold in the night
comes like a cannonball
and cuts like a knife
do you think that chill and frost exist in the afterlife?
i'll worry about that when i die
move to the south
close to the ring
wake up in december and hear the birds sing
it's true that warmth and comfort are the nectar of kings
but you're gonna miss out on something

dreaming (full band)
02:21

see the streets
i have never known
something different
i know how it feels
to be the one who steals
all of these thoughts they just drift
drifting away
heavenly
half-asleep on the bed
i didn't know what happens when
you just walk away
it just fades to grey
but i won't think
i guess i'm dreaming
dreaming again
