They say this is only the start of the night so lets throw down
This neighborhood isn't big enough for 2
And is alive with the dreams of the stolen and weak
You might not think that it matters that someone looks down on everything you say
You never cared, well I don't care
And I'll throw gas on matches, I'll burn you away
You've made your bed now
Take your time now
And I don't mind the blood, my knuckles drag, you're dead and broken
You've made your bed now
The sheets hide, you're out
Of options, turn and run before I make this promise come to life
I know that I look like a target was painted behind my back isn't turned this time
My eyes are open, facing forward
I'm breathing so heavy, you're falling behind
You might not think that i give a fuck but you'd be wrong
This moment will last forever the two of us dancing around
Wash your face from the accident, breaking your fall, bite your tongue
You've made your bed now
Take your time now
And I don't mind the blood, my knuckles drag, you're dead and broken
You've made your bed now
The sheets hide, you're out
Of options, turn and run before I make this promise come to life
This time I'm choosing life
Instead of hiding behind
My fears are burning white
These bruises all inside
My friends have forgiven the times that I've let them all down
But I won't forget the look I wiped across your face
Now your body is as broken as the bones you left me that day
You might not think that it matters that someone looks down on everything you say
You never cared, well I don't care
And I'll throw gas on matches, I'll burn you away

Let me take you out we'll tear down fences in time
This night burning beyond this smoking bullet is right
Below temple burned across the back of your neck
And I know you so discreetly
We'll make ashes become the point of never return
Beyond fashion tonight is all about how we turn
This lead into gold I don't believe you this time
And I'll smile so fucking brightly
You make me fall every time
So tonight I'll leave you tied
Pack in tightly now your hands are stuck at your sides
This song calling you out like sirens beating the night
My waves crashing your rocks, your hull is sinking beneath
And I'll drown you with my ocean
Breathe safe knowing the note is hidden, your lock and key
Are too much for my knife, I'll pry it out anyway
You lost every commitment that you tried to embrace
And I'll burn down this hall with my screams
You make me fall every time
So tonight I'll leave you tied
Your hands are binded like my dreams
Just watch me make my case
Judge, jury, they're all with me
I'm sending you so far away
This train stops on a dime for anyone who's with me
The tracks, curving around this field of blind empathy
I know feeling for someone isn't what we dicussed
So just stop this I don't need your pain
Change the rules when you want I'll never play all these games
I know winning is what you need, well sir I'm ashamed
I once felt like you do but it was so long ago
I don't know you like I know myself
You make me fall every time
So tonight I'll leave you tied
Your hands are binded like my dreams
Just watch me make my case
Judge, jury, they're all with me
I'm sending you so far away
Don't make me second guess
I made this my own mess
And I'll sweep it all under the rug
Just watch me make my case
I swear to god you'll see
What I never wanted anyway
Now I know it's only just an hour from
This route we drove a thousand
Times before, make me scream the words and bite my tongue
I hate the sound of every word I ever throw
In front of all your friends I'm done
This is over when I say that I'm done this masquerade
Of pretending that I'm all that you built me up to be
(Still fighting this image dead) (I don't care, you made me believe that)
(I'm filling this book with hope) (You were the one to write about)
(These pages are falling apart)
(My exit is waning thin) (The glue has become who I am)

It took so long to get to this place
The pavement was burning, these ashes will all fade away
Now that we've made a mark on the wall
These X's are carving out
My story's pages turn all by themselves
We know you're out
This safe was cracked a thousand years
Before we ever thought of the lock
And now the cliffs are calling you, so let's fade away
So kneel before my broken body
And tell me that everything will be ok
I'd never ask you anyway
It's time to go, let's pack this operation
Into our backpack
Know that things will never be the same
Your smoke will follow you into the sunset
And wash away the pain before the dawn can match the day
We have to show to all of your friends
These legends retelling the tales of people long ago
Your match was lit and thrown to the wolves
They're fighting for scraps again
My rope is coming down the archway
Chasing all of your dreams
Your words won't mean a thing when I get through
With you, you'll beg for me to tell the truth
And now the night is calling you, so just fade away
I'll kneel before your broken body
And tell you that everything will be ok
You'd never ask me anyway\
It's time to go, let's pack this operation
Into our backpack
Know that things will never be the same
Your smoke will follow you into the sunset
And wash away the pain before the dawn can match the day
Let's raise our arms
Defy the ones who let you down
It's time to make a stand for all the ones we left behind
You know you made this choice alone
And now you solely own regret
Can't fake the sadness when the sky has opened up its gut
Your flag is flown
So stand behind what you can get
Mistakes and second chances never coming hand in hand
We make our luck in garages
Forging what we have to when we can
A thousand years from now they'll write about the pain you feel
You feel alone, you're not in debt
To anyone else but yourself
I'll stand on top of mountains I made
This battle was won before I showed my face
You never asked me anyway
It's time to go, let's pack this operation
Into our backpack
Know that things will never be the same
Your smoke will follow you into the sunset
And wash away the pain before the dawn can match the day
Don't treat the source of all your questions before
You make this summit
Count for all the blood you spilled today
Your smoke will follow you into the sunset
And wash away the pain before the dawn can match the day

I'll take my chances with another sign of
Mountains falling down
I'll make my stand, you'll have yours too
Fire through the wall
This is becoming the start of the end of something
We built together and follow through times are waning thin
I cannot buy you another chance wasting it away
Was the last straw this cancer is leaving you to rot
It's killing me to say that I'm over it and
I know you're reaching for my hand
I can feel you scratching
Over and over, over and over and
It's only making it worse
Sell me one more line today
And I don't know what I'm supposed to say
You're falling
Where is the person I asked to become my second hand
In this massacre we built this village to tear it apart
And the pieces were swept up in clouds of painted dust
In the wind is the memory, we were once so proud
It's killing me to say that I'm over it and
I know you're reaching for my hand
I can feel you scratching
Over and over, over and over and
It's only making it worse
Sell me one more line today
And I don't know what I'm supposed to say
This bomb went off
I'll take my chances with another sign of
Mountains falling down
I'll make my stand, you'll have yours too
Fire through the wall
Let's stoke this fire for another hour
Ashes spread around
These arrows piercing my heart too
Fire through the wall
Let's stoke this fire for another hour
Ashes spread around
These arrows piercing my heart too
Fire through the wall
I know you're reaching for my hand
I can feel you scratching
Over and over, over and over and
It's only making it worse
I know you're reaching for my hand
I can feel you scratching
Over and over, over and over and
It's only making it worse
Sell me one more line today
And I don't know what I'm supposed to say
So fuck you

Just believe me, I'm dying here alone
Just believe me, I'll make it on my own
Wanting is nothing, I need you here alone
Taste for everything we balance
Erase all memories of how we can
Trace lines, bleeding all the colors
Above walls, breaking down the inquiry
Time is only space between the lies and what we find between the sheets
I'll make a toast to all the times you swore you'd find yourself with only minutes left
We're knocking on the door of something that we'd never find again
This chart can only serve to be the light we shine before the day we die
Alone we fall
Together we stand for something, anything but now
Time is erasing all that we grew
This garden will creep past its border again
It's only nature
Only natural to want to run away
Just believe me, I'm dying here alone
Just believe me, I'll make it on my own
Wanting is nothing, I need you here alone
Wash your hands before you step on this
Stage born of the two regrets we can't place
The pieces are that we scattered around
Floors sitting on our hands once again
Make your move before we do this exit sign is glaring red and white again
The scars are climbing up your back and showing through the screen your shirt is torn
To pieces shred the evidence of something awful that we know is true
I know it hurts but what can we pretend to offer in the place of guilt
Alone we fall
Together we stand for something, anything but now
Time is erasing all that we grew
This garden will creep past its border again
It's only nature
Only natural to want to run away
Alone we fall
Together we stand for something, anything but now
Time is erasing all that we grew
This garden will creep past its border again
And now we dance
On graves of the dead we won this battle over again
Just say your prayers
And hope that world behind you wants you in the front
Bullets will grace you, stars will align
This warzone you brought onto yourself
It's only nature
Only natural to want to run away
Just believe me, I'm dying here alone
Just believe me, I'll make it on my own
Wanting is nothing, I need you here alone

This window's telling oh so much
This fog is writing my life over again
And I can't picture it
Without the miles flying by
I'll spend my every waking night
Thinking of the words to calm your nerves
I need you standing by my side
Adjusting every part of life
This is my attempt to make it
We've driven so fucking far
This cliff is above us all
I'm hanging on by a thread
So please don't let me fall tonight
My god it's taking way too long
For me to say all the things I kept inside
And now I"m wondering
If I should let it all hang out
My bag is pulling me down, the handle's red
It pulls me blaring red
Inside my mind, we're missing out
The pieces scattered all around
We can bring this picture back to life
With every breath I call the night
Just hoping I can hold my breath
This is my attempt to make it right
We've driven so fucking far
This cliff is above us all
I'm hanging on by a thread
So please don't let me fall tonight
I'm counting cracks in the wall
I don't know how I'm getting out
Your face is all that I see
Each time I try to close my eyes

Just watch your tone before open both your eyes and see the debt
You left me with nothing and now the ashes forming
Out of sticks and stones this model anthill fills the air with doubt and time
Will suffer this anchor is dragging both our boats below
You're never around when I want to see the world
Let's go see the trouble we can get into
The surface screams for second nature
Take your wheel and drive away
I'll watch your tail-light and think
This time this hole is too big
I swear I've passed this sign a thousand 'fore today
And now we're pasting accidents in front of traffic
Light up the spotlight, aim it at windows
Redirect cars into the abutment
Hands out the window picking up glass
Remember to shut your eyes as you end this day
You're never around when I want to see the world
Let's go see the trouble we can get into
The surface screams for second nature
Take your wheel and drive away
I'll watch your tail-light and think
This time this hole is too big
Just watch your tone before open both your eyes and see the debt
You left me with nothing and now the ashes forming
Out of sticks and stones this model anthill fills the air with doubt and time
Will suffer this anchor is dragging both our boats below
You're never around when I want to see the world
Let's go see the trouble we can get into
The surface screams for second nature
Take your wheel and drive away
I'll watch your tail-light and think
This time this hole is too big
You're never around when I want to see the world
Let's go see the trouble we can get into
I'm taking chances on regret
That I will carry through the day
Let's take a second to see
The mess we knew we would be

There's only us here
The outside world is fading glass
I'll make it crystal clear
I want it back
What's left to say, what's left to say
When all the doves will fade away
What's left to say when you can drown me anyway
Take your time with words you need to say
Realize that I am listening every day
(I want to take away) Every word I said
(Can we just get away) Please just forgive me
I wanted to tell you about this before
But I was too scared to lose
I know that you've told me you love me before
But now I"m afraid there's boundaries
We broke the walls when we first met
I tore them down and all I have is dust
To breathe into my lungs again
I need your oxygen to calm my nerves
Take your time with words you need to say
Realize that I am listening every day
(I want to take away) Every word I said
(Can we just get away) Please just forgive me
Take your time with words you need to say
Realize that I am listening every day
(I want to take away) Every word I said
(Can we just get away) Please just forgive me
