All these broken pieces left unglued
Should never find their way
Into the hands of someone like you

I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through
Oh i'm in the dark

Every minute shared is never mine
Frozen in this fog and hiding
Every second in time

I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through

Oh i'm losing my faith in every way
That points to you
Oh i'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
Oh i'm in the dark

The more bleak the day
The less I behave as if
Everything black can wash away
Or can I just trade a dream for a way
To peel back the shade behind the gray

I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through

Oh i'm in the dark

. . .


Repeating words until they're true
It slows the breathing
Pretend they never came from you
It kills the feeling

I'm not what you want
You said what I never could
We're falling apart
You said that we never would

It's not what I want
It's wearing you down
We're back where we started
No turning around
We're falling apart
I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want now

Before you walk, you'll learn to fall
We'll stop and count to ten
We'll take these pictures off the wall
We'll stop and start again

I'm not what you want
You said what I never could
We're falling apart
You said that we never would

It's not what I want
It's wearing you down
We're back where we started
No turning around
We're falling apart
I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want

For always
Always
In all ways
Always

(Always)
We only go so far
It's not what I want for
(Always)
We only go so far
It's not what I want now

You're not in my heart
I'm wearing you down
I'm back where I started
No turning around
You're falling apart
I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want

For always
Always
In all ways
Always

. . .


I'm looking at a face, a pointed chin
Towards the sky, an arrogance
It easily betrays the closest friend
No moment lost, no consequence

The circle starts again, away from you
Deception pulls us in, away from you
Away from you, away from you...

An imitation, a fabrication
A pretty fake, a counterfeit
An empty carcass behind the artist
Is there a trace of innocence?

So how do you portray the sentiment?
A ruse is brought, the truth is bent
And much to our dismay, they're ignorant
The more that we make up the more it fits

This doesn't feel right
Feels like everything's further away
Dead as the nightlife, hindsight, watching another mistake
You never feel right, long nights
Following into the day
Pale as the street light, pure white
Washing the color away

. . .


Err on the side of caution
They're taking in the new girls
Two faced, too poised to shead a tear
No memory to speak of
Passed in the night we didn't hear
The fading breath of your love

We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love, forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend: indifference

You are a child of privilege
Your reputation leads you
All trace of life will disappear
You're falling into season
Their every word is insincere
There is no time for reason

We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love, forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend: indifference

Remember our childhood
It's not quite the same
A pale hue of new blood
They all know your name

We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love, forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend: indifference

. . .


Her voice cuts through the walls
Rings through everything that's hollow
These bitter words recall
All that's left and hard to swallow

She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad
All she's got to lose is everything she never had
(Every back turned to her)

We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day

Her blood runs hot to cold
Always breaking all she borrows
Her favors bought and sold
She lives like she's dead tomorrow

Just another reason looking for the next 'because'
Just another has been wishing what she never was
(Every back turned to her)

We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day

Tomorrow's not a new day
More time to think things through
When patience starts to fall away
A day can feel like two
When we gave her a new face
The past was out of view
She never fooled us because she could never fool herself

We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets a bay every day

. . .


It's not enough to find a moment
As light moves away
We'll leave tonight on empty highways
There's no coming back here

The painted hallways
Forever and always
Are lost to you
How can you criticize
When you're not here to compromise?
Words fade as time goes by
Without you, without you

Fall to the floor
We're watching sideways
As day turns to night
Ghosts in the walls
Through empty doorways
Like we've always been here

The painted hallways
Forever and always
Are lost to you
How can you criticize
When you're not here to compromise?
Words fade as time goes by
Without you, without you

Without you, Without you
Without you, Without you
Without you, Without you

. . .


I can't decide which one of us will leave here alive
Your fingers breaking as I place them over mine
The only thing I need is time
To change your mind, I said

When all that you know
Has fallen behind you
It's not the past that you're afraid to see
There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever

I can't decide which one of us is dreaming tonight
I'm just a shadow in the light you leave behind
The only thing I need is time
To change your mind, I said

When all that you know
Has fallen behind you
It's not the past that you're afraid to see
There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever

It's always darker at the end of every answer
Like a finger down the back of your throat
It's always empty in the house of every other
Nothing waiting in the silence below

When all that you know
Has fallen behind you
It's not the past that you're afraid to see
There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever

. . .


Once a night the bedroom light
Bleeds out from inside my window
Eyes white, I keep out of sight
This city's just not pretty like it used to be

It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream
A promise we made to kill the days between
They live in the heartbeat and sleep til the light is gone

It's been so long
Feels like pins and needles in my heart
So long
I can feel it tearing me apart

To the bed the left unsaid
Crawl in from outside my window
Hands red and cold as the dead
A pity they're not pretty like they used to be

It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream
A promise we made to kill the days between
They live in the heartbeat and sleep til the light is gone

It's been so long
Feels like pins and needles in my heart
So long
I can feel it tearing me apart

It's never a whisper, it's always a scream
A promise we made to kill the time between
They live in the heartbeat and sleep til the light is gone

It's been so long
Feels like pins and needles in my heart
So long
I can feel it tearing me apart

. . .


Erasing these two photographs
Is just a waste of time
The danger's in the subtlety
Between the evening and the night

Two hearts beating
One beats the other
While the other just looks away
Two hearts dreaming nightmare together
Leaving nothing more, nothing left to say

Replacing every part of me
It's in between the lines
The promise just a shade of grey
Between the darkness and the light

Two hearts beating
One beats the other
While the other just looks away
Two hearts dreaming nightmare together
Leaving nothing more, nothing left to say

Two hearts beating
One beats the other
While the other just looks away
Two hearts dreaming nightmare
Nothing more, nothing left to say

. . .


Wait dear
The time is getting late here
I'm all washed up
and graced with faint applause
Dressed in a cheap facade
I'm looking for a place I'll never see again

A night turns to a day
A street I've never walked on
I was never here
Just a faint reflection
A day turns to a month
A second of affection
I was never here
Just a faint reflection

Faking
There's nothing here worth taking
Just my reflection fading on the wall
Not the fairest one of all
I'm looking for a place I'll never see again.

A night turns to a day
A street I've never walked on
I was never here
Just a faint reflection
A day turns to a month
A second of affection
I was never here
Just a faint reflection

. . .


I woke up as I waited
Bleeding slow
There was no way to
Make all this blow over so
I started writing the ending
I said too much
And you just kept on pretending
For both of us

I could never speak in a way
You wanted to hear
I couldn't convey
We were just sinking too fast to save
The two of us
Whispering hope away

All the days that I've counted
You'll never know
All that you promised, I doubted
I told you so
Forget that words that were spoken
And thoughts erased
Let's burn the path that was chosen
Without a trace

I could never speak in a way
You wanted to hear
I couldn't convey
We were just sinking too fast to save
The two of us
Whispering hope away

I could never speak in a way
You wanted to hear
I couldn't convey
We were just sinking too fast to save
The two of us
Whispering hope away
