I said that I don't need you
But I'm a liar
I swear I do
I do


Strip away vanity
Just as you comsume me
Broken smile, starless sky
Save it all, Say goodbye


You're out in left field
And lacking interest
You fight the boredom
But it makes no difference
Your mental health, kid
That's what's in question
Keep acting obscure
We'll keep them guessing


You wake to suffer through the day
Trade a dream for the pay
Well here's the fact, I hope it sticks
You're just alive out of habit


Smiles are no more than ( empty love )


Thanks again for my misery
And you run with fake friends
I'm sick of your sad songs and singalongs
I kind of like it when things are wrong.


All I know are apologies
Do you feel the shame?


The thing is
I'm not worth the sorrow
And if you come and
Meet me tomorrow
I will hold you down
Fold you in
Deep, deep, deep
In the fiction we live.


You should have been here months ago
With open arms and honest face


Feels like you could kiss
My imperfections away
And I would stand by your side
Until the sun turns the sky


I swear to you on everything I am
And I dedicate to you all that I have
And I promise you that I will stand right by your side
Forever and always until the day I die


Nobody made you king of the world
And I'm here to dethrone you
So kiss the ring motherf*cker
It's my time to shine


Maybe you can make a splint
For your broken ego


So I say thank you for the scars
And the guilt and the pain
Every tear I've never cried
Has sealed your f*cking fate


What did you take me for, a fool?
Or were you just too blind to see
That every effort made has failed
And there is no destroying me


Hate can be a positive emotion
When it forces you to better yourself


Now I'm driven to be ten times better than you think you are
Piece my piece I've built my walls
And burned the bridges down
That lead back to people like you


I will not be broken
I am the one


One can only feel desolate for so long
Until one starts to change
Into something the mirror doesn't recognize
I metamorphasize


Just live and breathe
And try not to die again.


When the shadows beam
Misery remains
I won't leave this time.

Everything I've done
Everything I've gained
All means nothing now
A mere breath gone to waste


I gave you everything
But it just wasn't enough to make you stay


The flowers I gave you
Have died, been lost, and thrown away.
Just like me.


I waited all this time to
Show you how much I care.
Can you see me waiting everyday?


I believe letting go
Was the worst mistake of my life.


It's just so difficult being me
Instead of we


Don't lose touch with life's reality.
Compensate for life's stupidity.


You change and now you come back
Saying we aren't the children we once were.


Everyday I hate you
And everything we once were.


And you beg to be back with me.
Now I can't see anything
I won't forget everything you put me through.


I would wait forever.
Until the darkness began to fade
I would wait for you.


I wanted to tell you
What really happened
But how do I explain this?
How do I explain anything?


I don't want to see your face again.
Not like this
I will not be ashamed
Not now


This time I won't make it change myself.
This time I will make myself believe
My heart, it won't break this time.
Won't be left behind.
I won't be so shy.
I won't let you win this time.
^(thats one of my favorites)


My heart bleeds no more.
Now it's been turned to stone.


I've broken both my legs falling for you.
Drag me on the ground.


Blood still stains my hands.
Sharpening my senses on the outside.

I wanted to convince myself
There's nothing else to do.
I wanted to provide you with proof
Of what you put me through
I wanted to
Pretend it was you.


The bright light beams from her eyes.
From broken glass
Or a broken heart.


As my legs start to shake
I feel nothing
I wanted you
I needed you
But you weren't there this time.

It was all so beautiful
It was all so bright and true
My eyes staring at you
Watching it all go wrong


Forget that I asked
Forgive me for what I am


I close my eyes
I can still see
You are right here
Where I want you to be


He left me here
In this misery
The whole world has
Turned it's back on me


You can think it's okay
But the story is not
The same anymore


Drop me and let me fall
In a way I haven't felt before


Leave me alone
Don't come any closer
I'm so alone
And you call me a loser


It was all the things
You said to me
All the lies
You made me believe


There once was a time
When silence meant nothing to me.


Sometimes it's easier
To give up then cry
And keep on living
In those lies


Have you ever started
That brand new day?
Had a second chance
And thrown it away?


There is no time
To be sorry
This pain has been lost
In the depth of me


These questions in my mind
Are so much bigger than life


In my deepest fears
I'm losing you

for when tomorrow
fails to come, today
is just not the same


a kiss from her is one
of the grave.


i'll lower the casket.
open the door.
open the grave.
murder.


oh how seldom we belong
but so elegant our kiss


and we painted crooked lies
but we danced in perfect time
to a love so much refined
we know not what it is
until it is dullen like wine


but it's never quite like this


i need not your wicked weapons
my war is not with someone like you


like bringing a k n i f e
to a gun fight


time can kill the greatest of men
even the strongest find
themselves on the floor


fragile time can lead
you to the grave
or fragile time can
create you eternity


staring at the world
through the hole you
put through my head


i did this for you
not for your religion
not for your patterns
i did this for you

No, I've never seen myself like this before
& Maybe it scares me, too
To know that different things
Take different times to fall apart.
But they always do.


He's shallow like
Shoreline during low tide
But my hopes are not
Quite as high


He left me himself
Considering I'd do the same


I might look young
But I'm no less defeated


I've gotta find out all the things
And find out where she got her wings


How's the weather up there?
Good God I wish I was tall.


Where can I go
When I want you around
But I can't stand
To be around you


I'll walk myself to you
I'll walk myself away from here


You laughed off my affections
While I passed your direction
I should have known from your smile
It was the end of you


You got a big mouth
And I can't shut it up.


Taking back every step towards you
Still failing at everything I do


Just talking with my shoes
Converse with my Converse

These are all one-liners from Hawthorne Heights:


Time to let go of all we know


I need you now more like yesterday


Watch this fall a w a y and fall a p a r t


She didn't love you anyway


You are the song I know


Shine on diamond eyes


Please don't ever change


Water fills these open eyes


Please don't leave this time


Tonight, we'll fly away so high


I'll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky


Please don't use my letters to start your fires this time


We're set to fail


Tell me how you feel in five words or less


I follow your lies to avoid from getting lost


Am I now everything that you wanted me to be?


Please hold me tightly, I don't care if I can breathe tonight

So arch your back
And flip your hair
Make eye contact so you know I care


All my hopes and all of my dreams
Everything falling in between
Seems to me that the memories
Mean more to you than they do to me


My lips are cold
The truth is told


Shard of glass
Skin of gold
Steal my breath
Blood runs cold
Violet waves
Oceans blue
All my love
Lost in you


In you I can see further
Can it last forever?


I could list one million things that I love about you
But they would all come down to one
--I could never live without you--


Sometimes I wonder what you have
That makes me try so hard


Stars shine so much brighter when I'm with you


Why can't I be what you need
A new improved version of me
But I'm nothing so good
I'm nothing


When I hear someone's taking my place
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel
When all that I did was for you


Now you see me
Now you don't
Now you need me
Now you don't


I'm not wishing anymore
I'm not writing songs for you
I sleep better in the dark
I'm not doing anything for you


Tongue tied, an insititute of my relief
You're my reason to shame


When I turn and walk away
Abandon, it's not worth the effort
When stalling means
Too f*cking scared to create


Don't you ever think for one second that
I will forget the reasons that I cried
You are no more potent that the words that choke me


As days go by, shed a tear
I hate your face more than life
I'll fake a smile for you, my dear
So turn away.

I will not forget what you've done for me
Shed not a tear; I'll be with you endlessly


How I wish I could say
What you want to hear


I lie back and close my eyes again
The dreams are there
The last chance slipped away
You'll never know I cared


For these wounds I claim redemption
For these wounds I am redeemed


An empty promise
Fills my veins with lies


Be still my tongue
For I know not what to say
My life is lived in darkness
And here I will remain


And so the night wears on
And so my patience thins
To my eyes dawn in horror
Because I'm alone again.


Your lies consume me
With every breath I'm burning
Oh how I believed
The truth was in your eyes.


My life is now chaos
And your tongue breeds deceit
Wake from this nightmare
I'll never love you again
