Bleed The Dream

He gave up everything for just one chance to make it big.
The doctors gave him 3 months to bleed the dream.
We passively watched the scene, dying in vain in the name of poverty.
We could have done anything, but couldn't take the blame.
No one's gonna win his fight
we keep spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
when everyone swears theyre right
we're all going down.
And we're not gonna change our minds
we keep spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
'cause we're not giving up our pride,
we're all going down.
For gold, silver, and God's glory
or whatever dream of your own nationality
there is one thing we can agree
we would own it all.
So we passively bleed the dream
willing to kill for what we're taught that we need
One day we'll find out we lived like kings
with self-centered minds, and short little lives
And no one's gonna win this fight
we keep spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
when everyone swears their right
we're all going down.
And I'm not gonna change my mind
I'll keep spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
'cause I'm not giving up my pride
I'm going down
No, we're all going down.

Echoes replied to us
Scanning the skies for our child
Her voice eluded us
Broken and lost in the wild
Stumbling in a deaf darkness
Under falling stars, please find the way home and smile on us - back in our loving arms again
My Baby, where are you?
When are you coming home?
We nearly missed you
Off in your distant descent
How lucky you were to us
If only for just a moment
Sailing over the great horizon, you leaped so far
to light the way home and sing to us from falling stars now.
My Baby, where are you?
When are you coming home?
You're going home.

Remember Me
03:17
|

|
In every sound that we shared from your radio
like photographs kept in frames
everything that we were, in vibrating air
it's so clear, it's like we were there.
Oh how it rained on that day that I left you
a small comfort at best from the hole in your chest
that I left when you buried me.
But please don't remember me that way, remember me.
'Cause I'm not in this grave
I'm in the rain.
And within the bleeding heart in you
here I am.
So even though everything that you cling to now is gone.
In every single tear, every smile, here I am.
I was sick and afraid when I left you
But don't dwell on that day, cause It's not who I am
Let the songs and the rain remind you
if ever you were to forget.
Every second on earth I endured
was heaven because you cared
and a love like that doesn't die
I know it from the tears in your eyes
but I am not ashes, I am not dust
I won't take for granted the time given us
So if ever I'm sought in your prayers
don't wish that I were still there
look anywhere.
'Cause I'm not in this grave
I'm in the rain
and within the bleeding heart in you
here I am
so even though everything that you cling to now is gone
in every single tear, every smile
here I am
So let go.

The Green House
02:20

On the short line, stuck in neutral
stretched across the tracks
just to wake you up
While the bright lights
and the ringing of the crossing clash
trying to make you react
But you don't feel
you don't feel
you don't feel
when you don't feel
In the green house stumbling down
filled your eyes with tears
And used to make you laugh
And clinging tightly
to each other when the floodgates cracked
You couldn't hold them back
Desensitized, anesthetized
I just wanna die
It's just a matter of time
So whats the point of trying
Gave up, drowned, and beating yourself down
until it bleeds and you can finally see what it means
to cry again
When you don't feel
When you don't feel at all
If I could change it all
I'd make you try
I'd be right there
To wake you up

Confined
03:17

Why don't I believe you?
Shouldn't have left you all alone
My nerves don't hit the ceiling
but they're crawling up the wall
just call me on my telephone
and tell me where you are
'cause all of this anxiety
is pushing me too far
again
I'll tie you in chains
if that's what it takes
confined
I'll tie you in chains
is this all in my brain?
Well I don't need the evidence
I don't need to see
you've always been so beautiful
you're way too good for me
It's only 'cause I love you so
I've got this jealously
I know there must be something more
some place you'd rather be
than with me
But I'll tie you in chains
if that's what it takes
confined
I'll tie you in chains
is this all in my brain?
You pull me in and kiss me
and smile like nothing's wrong
you tell me that you love me
you're biting off my tongue
but everything you say to me
I swear is through those teeth
the happiness you've shared with me
I've shared in misery
But I'll tie you in chains
if that's what it takes
confined
I'll tie you in chains
is this all in my brain?

Fixin' To Crash
01:58

There’s a fire on the freeway and the radar says were going too fast
There’s a sign around the corner by the cliffside says were fixin’ to crash
We’ve got a killing combination of impulsive carnal chemistry
You’ve got your hands off the wheel, my foot's pushing steel there’s nothing to slow us down
Metal spinning, rolling I think were pulling for a twisted romance
With the devil on our shoulders screaming “take it baby now is your chance”
Staying faithfully within our lanes is such a trial at full speed
So brace for the sting
It's just like it seems in every way
‘Cause we crossed a line
committed a crime
now a part of us must die
There’s a fire on the freeway and the radar says were going too fast
There’s a sign around the corner by the cliffside says were fixin' to crash
There are two kids in our headlights and they’re screaming "God we’re going to die!"
And as they hit the windshield, see they look just like you and me in every way
It’s impossible, unbelievable

The Decency

Girl this game was over a long time ago
You don’t know
But I’m only here ‘cause I need you
To be just a little less of a hassle for me
And it’s easier just to let it fall apart
Well I don’t wanna be the bad guy here
So I’ll try to always work things out
In such a way that I can say what you wanna hear
Avoid all the tears and just leave you in the dark
'Cause what you don’t know it can’t ever hurt you
I never did care, but I’d rather not hurt you
I’m never gonna tell you about it
Babe I woke up cheery with a smile on my face and I told you
“I had a dream about you”
And a girl, and she was everything you never could be
She showed me exactly what I’ve been missing
The skeletons are scratching at the door again
And I’m screaming “Everything’s just fine!”
Over them so I don’t have to be the bad guy
I will just lie to you until it falls apart
‘Cause what you don’t know it can’t ever hurt you
I never did care, but I’d rather not hurt you
That’s why I’m never gonna tell you about it
