We are going to learn, we are healing, we are feeling every bit of your concern, we are family, we are channeling anger.

Never feel the rays of sun again. And on the first day wear a warning. Make the ground your second home. This is not a problem. Never feel the rays of sun again. And sing oh, how sweet the fight is when there's no one to back you up. And oh, how cold this love is when there's no one to hold your heart. Sing oh, how cruel the world is when there just isn't time enough to sing oh, how bright this life is, allowing you another breath to sing, oh.

We made light of it all. Shook hands after speaking over bourbon. God knows I've seen better times, but you couldn't tell by how I was smiling. We'd enslave the mountains to free Tibet, yet somehow we rot and stay animated. It's the way you choose when you shake it loose. You can't get the best of me, you can't get the best of me. Barricades, break them down, there are barricades, break them down Barricades, break them down... I know this part of town. We'd cleanse our histories to kill the violence, yet somehow we rot and stay animated. Face each day with a pair of fists, how long do I have to live like this? Keep talking your head off, somehow stay violent, find a place to keep warm. Mother Mary never sings to me. Mother Mary never came.

It Rains 03:13
Despite the rings around my eyes, you can always find me eating the velvet hearts of everyone who never seemed to care. A vacation under black clouds, time escapes me. Coughing out caved organs, time escapes me. I swim in the oceans where you thought I'd drown. And I sleep on the cold ground that you hoped I'd belong to by now. But it rains heavily on me. Well...drag me to the ocean. It's better than you, it's better than me, it's better than anything that you believe. It's better than dreams of you on your knees, and everyone here is in shambles. Despite the rings around my eyes, you can always find me eating the shallow hearts of everyone who never seemed to care. I'm sick and tired by the past years, starving for your cold ghost, but let's just say that my stomach, now, is completely full. It's better than you, it's better than me, it's better than anything that you believe. It's better than dreams of you on your knees, and everyone here is in shambles.

As the walls melt and this floor collapses beneath me... Do we claw for the pieces and claim sanctuary? The storms did more damage than I can recall. Years, years, years, years and years and years, rebuild them all. Bloodshot eyes remind me of nothing new. Just the wreck and most days. Secretly I'm a bastard, I'm dying inside. I let it rot. It's my fault. She worked so hard for this hall of trash. It makes me sick to think no one cared. I feel like shit.
6.
Hell is other robots. Hell will always be wearing me thin. It gives me the creeps just thinking about losing the things that I can't hold. Maybe I need rest, but these pills in my pocket aren't enough to keep me out for the night. With restless bones, "need" and "want" become defined. I may need help with dismembering, we'll cut out everything inside of me. I'm causing trouble with myself again. How perfect these dismal days will seem when everyone forgets what it is that we love. In restless bones, need and want become defined. Rebuild every part and add chemicals if that's what it takes to keep this alive.
7.
We survive by others' aching bones. And we ride on every breaking back. A network of sewers divide us all. Only worth running rivers of red. Severed hands of hope hold dearly to only what they know. Still we close our eyes and always decide to climb higher crosses built to make us starve. Get it straight, fill your heart, fix your head, tighten up. Fill your heart, my friend. Fix your head. Spirit always comes to haunt for this, and always this instant. Get it straight, fill your heart, fix your head, tighten up.
8.
Frail as the first day we met, recalling all our attempts to cheat death. Young and vibrant or slow decay? Remind me another day. Telling every pig to fuck off, because we knew every one was corrupt. This isn't fair. I am losing my touch. Years weigh tons in my back pack. I can't stop shaking, this is how I breathe for now. Nothing to depend on. Wasted on my own, nothing feels like home. Taking my time, I decay. I used to make my life decisions, bet them all on every kickflip. Now I'm selling my guitar to live. These are the sounds a deaf bird might make. Fucking vodka wears us all thin. Fuck the three hours. I cannot lie... No one to depend on. Wasted on my own, nothing feels like home. Taking my time, I decay. Everyone cycles. You waste your words. Stay gone. I can't help feeling this way for the rest of my waking life, or through every new body, every new soul.
9.
It's alright, you're not alone now. Pray for something you can't control. Dance around me, I am nothing without you. I sat at the edge of the end of my world while watching things drown. I watched them all drown. You should just walk away. This is not the first time I'm driven to the notes. This is not the last time. But dance around me, I am nothing without you. I don't belong here and neither do you. New skin for the Summer and hopes of a truce. Try to swim with the rest, but I'd much rather be here. Nervously grinding my teeth to the nerves with you.
10.
These are the days we will regret looking over our shoulders, waiting on waves of waking wolves. I wish I could trade destructive hands for daydreams of nothing but bodies of water, or flesh gripping me. Hey, why don't you and I play a game I call "I know your address"? Invite everyone you know, pour the gasoline, and I'll bring the matches. Yeah it's strange how the insincere will light so quickly. We swim in the ashes. I found you out. Yeah, I've had this dream more than once before: I say to you, "these pigs are waiting for me at the edge of the cemetery where I have come to learn the names of everyone buried in holes that we all walk over. Now you will come to learn the names of everyone buried in holes that we've all forgotten. These are the days we will regret looking over our shoulders, waiting on waves of waking wolves. I wish I could trade these destructive hands for daydreams of nothing but bodies of water and flesh gripping me.

This is a hammer to the ankles of a ballerina. It is destruction. It was despair. And this is a motel for unwelcomed lovers intertwined. It breeds destruction. It breeds despair. Come clean. Like an open wound, you just gush and gush and bleed out all your truth on me. When you can't say no to this, there's no saving your heart from the streets. If we're all cut from your corner stone you can drag your fears to hell, we all die alone. When you can't look back on it, there's no pulling you free from the grip. Feel myself sinking deep. This con you call belief left me incomplete. The same song will play for you, but you can't make sense of it. Somehow in your words, I always find the will to make me turn away. When you can't say no to this, there's no saving your heart from the streets.
