The Shooting Star That Destroyed Us All

A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eye
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I cannot inhale the sparkle of your voice

A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eye
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I cannot inhale the sparkle of your voice

Let me walk on high wire of rusty nails
While barefoot shedding the flesh of our existence

I don’t want anybody to fall

A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I cannot inhale the sparkle of your voice

Now’s the time
Now is the time

…more I try
…more I lose
But today
remember me?

But today
remember me?
But today
Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine

Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Walking home
Street lights go out

Walking home
Street lights go out

A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I cannot inhale the sparkle of your voice

I’m Falling for You

this drowning sorrow is shaking me
more than it ever has before
the road signs reading bitter end
leave me suspect of a crime

the city air chokes me today
more than it ever had before
i’m nervous to feel deserved
by these street signs anymore

are you
going to
be waiting up when i get home
we’ll stay up all night
getting drunk and watching sunsets on our porch

falling for you
falling for you
i fell for you
(im falling)
falling for you
(im falling)
falling for you
i fell for you

these empty feelings question me
of who i think i’ve become
mind is ticking life away
asking if you are the one

are you
going to
be waiting up when i get home
we’ll stay up all night
getting drunk and watching sunsets on our porch

falling for you
falling for you
i fell for you
(im falling)
falling for you
(im falling)
falling for you
i fell for you

i’m dying to explain my heart
do you know
i’m dying to explain my heart
do you know
there’s so much on my mind it’s tearing me apart
there’s so much on my mind it’s tearing me apart

falling for you
falling for you
i fell for you
(im falling)
falling for you
(im falling)
falling for you
i fell for you

Great Romance of the 20th Century

September never stays this cold
Where I come from
And you know
I’m not one for complaining,
But I love the way you’d roll
Excuses off the tip of your tongue
As I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
Fall apart

This won’t mean a thing come tomorrow
And that’s exactly how I’ll make it seem
Cause I’m still not sleeping,
Thinking I’ve crawled home from worse than this

So please, please (please)
I’m running out of sympathy (I’m running out of sympathy!)
And I never said I’d take this
I never said I’d take this lying down

She says
“come on, come on, let’s just get this over with”
She says
“come on, come on, let’s just get this over with”
(I never said I’d take this lying down, let’s just get this over with,
And I’ve crawled home from worse than this)
She says
“come on, come on, let’s just get this over with”
She says
“come on, come on..”

You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come so close…
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know…

You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come… you come in close

I never said I’d take this lying down
I never said I’d take this lying down
I never said I’d take this lying down
But I’ve crawled home from worse than this

If it’s not keeping you up nights
Then what’s the point
Then what’s the point
Then what’s the point
Then what’s the point

I’m in your room
Now is this turning you on
Am I turning you on?

I’m in your room
Are you turned on?

I’m on the corner of your bed,
I’m thinking maybe,
Are you turned on,
Are you turned on?

This Photograph is Proof (I Know You Know)

Well I’ll wait til you listen
I won’t say a word
To follow your instincts
Will just never work for me
Oh you’re silent but strong
Yeah I’m playing that card
And you’re noticing nothing again

Now I’m lying on the table
With everything you said
Keeping in mind the way that it felt
When the most I could do
Was to just blame myself

Chorus:
And I know you know everything
I know you didn’t mean it
I know you didn’t mean it
I know you know everything (drop everything)
I know you didn’t mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn’t mean it (remember more that you’d like to forget)

So we’re talking forever and
You almost feel better
But better’s no excuse for tonight
You see it’s never bad enough
To just leave or give up
But it’s never good enough to feel right

Now I’m lying on the table
With everything you said
It will all catch up eventually
Well it caught up and honestly,
The weight of my decisions
Were impossible to hold
But they were never yours

Chorus

Drop everything, start it all over
Remember more than you’d like to forget
Drop everything, start it all over
Remember more than you’d like to forget

Would you like to forget?
Would you like to forget?
Drop everything, start it all over
Well, drop everything start it all over
(Would you like to forget?)
Drop everything start it all over
Start it all

Chorus

I know you know…
I know you know…
I know you know…
(Drop everything, start it all over)
I know you know…you know…you know…
(Remember more that you’d like to forget)

Your Own Disaster

just think of this and me
as just a few of the many things
to lie around,
to clutter up your shelves
and I wish you weren’t worth the wait
cause there are some things
that I’d like to say to you

And I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing
cause I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing

and I dare you to forget
the marks you left across my neck
from those nights when we were both found at our best
now I could make this obvious and you,
you could deny me
all in one breath
you could shrug me off your shoulders

And I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing
cause I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing
And I don’t think that you know
said I don’t think that you know
said I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing

hey lush, have fun
it’s the weekend
hey lush, have fun
hey lush, have fun
it’s the weekend
hey lush, have fun
(no I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing)
hey lush, have fun
it’s the weekend
(no I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing)
hey lush, have fun
(no I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing)
hey lush, have fun
it’s the weekend
(no I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing)
hey lush, have fun
[forget me, it's that simple]
(no I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing)
hey lush, have fun
[forget me, it's that simple]
it’s the weekend
(no I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing)
[forget me it's that simple]
(no I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing)
hey lush, have fun
[forget me it's that simple]
it’s the weekend
[forget me it's that simple]
(no I don’t think that you know
what you’ve been missing)
hey lush, have fun
[forget me it's that simple]
hey lush, have fun
[forget me it's that simple]
[just forget me it's that simple]
[just forget me it's that simple]
[just forget me it's that simple]
[just forget me it's that simple]
[just forget me it's that simple]

just forget me, it’s that simple

You’re So Last Summer

She said
“Don’t, don’t let it go to your head
Boys like you are dime a dozen
Boys like you are dime a dozen”
She said
“You’re a touch overrated,
You’re a lush and I hate it,
But these grass stains on my knees
They won’t mean a thing”

And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I’m something you’ll be missing
(is that I’m something that you’re missing)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that…

I’d never lie to you
Unless I had to I’ll do what I got to
Unless I had to I’ll do what I got to, the truth
Is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I’d apologize for bleeding on your shirt

And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I’m something you’ll be missing
(is that I’m something that you’re missing)
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that…

Cause I’m a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This’ll be the last chance you get to drop my name
Cause I’m a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This’ll be the last chance you get to drop my name

If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (Maybe I should…)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (…hate you for this)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (Maybe I should…)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (…hate you for this)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (Maybe I should…)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (…hate you for this)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (Maybe I should…)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (…hate you for this)

Maybe I should hate you for this
(If only you knew half as much as you pretend to)
Maybe I should hate you for this
(If only you knew half as much as you pretend to)

Cute Without The ‘E’ (Cut From The Team)

Your lipstick(plus) his collar…(is of greater value to…) don’t bother Angel
I know exactly what goes on

When everything you’ll get is
Everything that you’ve wanted, princess
(well which would you prefer)
My finger on the trigger, or
(me face down, down across your floor)
Me face down, down across your floor
(me face down, down across your floor)
Well just so long as this thing’s loaded

And will you tell all your friends
You’ve got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinking,
This all was only wishful thinking
And will you tell all your friends
You’ve got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinking,
This all was only wishful thinking
Let’s go…

Don’t bother trying to explain Angel
I know exactly what goes on when you’re on and
wait… How about I’m outside of your window
(how about I’m outside of your window)
Watchin him keep the details covered
You’re such a sucker (you’re such a Sucker)
For a sweet talker, yeah

And will you tell all your friends
You’ve got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinking,
This all was only wishful thinking
(the only thing that I regret is that I, I never let you hold me back)
And will you tell all your friends
You’ve got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinking,
This all was only wishful thinking

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don’t ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me
(Why can’t I feel anything From anyone other than you?)
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don’t ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me
(Why can’t I feel anything From anyone other than you?)
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don’t ever tell me
I know you well enough to know…

And all of this was all your fault
And all of this

(I stay jealous)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
For this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind
As something larger than life
(she’ll destroy us all before she’s through
And find a way to blame somebody else)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
For this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind
As something larger than life
(she’ll destroy us all before she’s through
And find a way to blame somebody else)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
For this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind
As something larger than life!

Make Damn Sure

you’ve got this new head filled up with smoke
I got my veins all tangled close
to the jukebox bars you frequent
the safest place to hide
a long night spent with your most obvious weakness
you start shaking at the thought
you are everything i want
cause you are everything i’m not

and we lay, we lay together
just not, too close, too close
(how close is close enough?)
we lay, we lay together
just not too close, too close

i just wanna break you down so badly
well i trip over everything you say
i just wanna break you down so badly
in the worst way

well my inarticulate store bought
hangover hobby kit it talks (talks)
and it says, “you oh, you are so cool”
scissor shaped across the bed
you are red, violent red
you hollow out my hungry eyes
you hollow out my hungry eyes

and we lay, we lay together
just not too close, too close
(how close is close enough?)
we lay, we lay together
just not too close, too close

i just wanna break you down so badly
well i trip over everything you say
i just wanna break you down so badly
in the worst way
i just wanna break you down so badly
well i trip over everything you say
i just wanna break you down so badly
in the worst way (worst way)

I’m gonna make damn sure
that you can’t ever leave
no you won’t ever get too far from me
you won’t ever get too far from me
i’ll make damn sure (damn sure)
that you can’t ever leave (that you can’t ever leave)
no you won’t ever get too far from me
you won’t ever get too far from me
you won’t ever get too far from me (ever get too far)
you won’t ever get too far

i just wanna break you down so badly
well i trip over everything you say
i just wanna break you down so badly
in the worst way (worst way)

i’m gonna make damn sure
i just wanna break you down so badly
i just wanna break you down so badly
in the worst way, worst way…

Beast and the Harlot

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There’s more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.

She’s a dwelling place for demons.
She’s a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
Her plagues have come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot.

She’s a dwelling place for demons.
She’s a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The day has come for all us sinners.
If you’re not a servant, you’ll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city.
Lookin’ back on her to see there’s nothing around.

I don’t believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
You’ve made the wrong decision and it’s easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You’re welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

She’s a dwelling which full demons.
She’s a bitch for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

She’s a dwelling place for demons.
She’s a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

Bat Country

He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won’t lose my will to stay.

I tri-ie-ied to drive all through the night,
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me.

Can’t you help me as I’m startin’ to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I’m starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don’t want the attention.

As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights.
My hand is on the trigger I’m ready to ignite.
Tomorrow might not make it but everything’s all right.
Mental fiction follows me; show me what it’s like to be set free.

Can’t you help me as I’m startin’ to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I’m starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don’t want the attention.

So sorry you’re not here I’ve been sane too long my vision’s so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don’t be surprised when things aren’t what they seem.

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won’t lose my will to stay.
These eyes won’t see the same, after I flip today.

(guitar solo)

Sometimes I don’t know why we’d rather live than die,
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
Don’t want your absolution cause I can’t make it right.
I’ll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.

Can’t you help me as I’m startin’ to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I’m starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don’t want the attention.

So sorry you’re not here I’ve been sane too long my vision’s so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don’t be surprised when things aren’t what they seem.
I’ve known it from the start all these good ideas will tear your brain apart.
Scared but you can follow me I’m too weird to live but much too rare to die.
