To be alone with me
I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy
Tell me your favorite lie
I wanna know what they think of me
And what you told me in secrecy
Was just a table you could turn on me
Well It's about the time
You reveal your Insecurity
I laced my lips with those sinking friendships
Tell me again about the person that I am
Gather up your ammunition
open up your mouth and fire away
Fire Away
You need some kind of explanation
Not that I meant much to you anyway
Anyway
You can say that I'm michevious
And your stories make me infamous
Well I can imply
That you see a reflection of yourself
An I guess that my suspicousness
Came to terms in this instance
Can you purify
My being in your insolence
Oh my god you gotta let it go
Oh my god you made it up in your head
Oh my god you gotta let it go
Oh my god just make your mind up instead
You found me out
Go fight your own war
A prophecy I found before
My shaking hands
Lie under your tongue
Don't act so innocent, you're not so innocent

Broken Mirrors

I'm holding on to a dead dream
A dead weight underwarter where I sleep
Somedays I'm barely breathing
Save yourself and don't look back for me
The darkest of secrets
In the lowliest of places
The quietest whisper echoes in my head and it said
I just don't recognize myself
My reflection is in disguise
I recall being someone else
in the looking glass through my eyes
This sickness comes and goes,
it brings us to our knees
There is a place for us but there's no guarantee
I've made a mess of my bedsheets
Now I stand shamelssly among these burning bridges
can you keep a secret
my hands fold open and are bruised and broken
Throwing punches at ocean waves for days
it took so long for me to change
do you reeally expect me to stay the same
manipulator i'm no longer a pawn in your game
Does that make me a fool?

Stay

I'm finally fine with admitting
that I need help and I'm not okay
I don't think I can handle much more than laying in bed today
I've twisted my thoughts into impossible knots
I'm choking on the answers, I stutter and spit em out
I can't swallow my pride anymore but you convince me to stay
Take me back to the start
The last time you held me close with my lonely heart
You can find our bones entwined together
Six feet under the dirt but you can't dig me out
I buried myself
We'll share our graves with dead ends and distress
Even though I gave it my all we can only be friends from a distance
and only get along with resistance but still you convince me to stay
Lets close our eyes
I'll sew them shut and we can daydream all the time
Honest to god I've never felt so useless
I've long forgotten where my truth is
lets lay the past to rest
Honest to go I've never felt so useless
I've long forgotten where my truth is
I hope its for the best
Can't let it go
I wanna forget the feeling
I don't want to remember a thing
So I can move on with my healing
But release brings the most awful sting
Knock me down why don't you
Knock me out why don't you
Can't Let it go
I'm down on my knees and I'm keeling
I'll say a Hail Mary for you
As I count the tiles on the ceiling
I've lost my light that much is true
Knock me out why don't you
Kill my smile why don't you
CANT LET IT GO

How Dare You

How dare you say that you feel used
When I'm the one that you abused
How dare you say that you feel used
How dare you say you say you say it to my face
I can only do so much
I can only try so many times
I can only give you so much grace
You can say that I've lost my touch
Tell them all I've completely lost my mind
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Darling, where have you been
Darling, where is your head
Maybe I should wear her skin
Baby you're my lifeline and I'm slowly dying
I tripped and fell right into your straightjacket arms
(I want to say I hate you, You know that it's far from the truth)
You cast a spell spit out a lie and worked your charm
(I wan't to say I hate you, you know its far from the truth)
All the time I spent
Awaiting my own death sentence
Do you remember when I couldn't sleep for days?
But what was I supposed to do?
My only hope was starting something new
I couldn't bite my tongue and see it through
Through all the times you stabbed me in the back

Expect the Worst

Is this what I've been fighting for
Tell me wheres my ticket out
I thought that I was meant for more
Forgive me for who I am
I'm still learning to control the voice inside my head
Emergency, Emergency, my minds a walking disease
I'm just a slave to the machine
It's true that I'v been changed form pain
some kind of weakness thats been coursing through my veins
empty words through the telephone
Your voice it fades into dial tone
Even with all the distance between us,
I just can't help myself, just can't help my
This is the end and though I am shaking
I swear I understand, I swear I understand
Then you whisper watch me sleep at night
Crack the door open just to shine a little light
Couldn't break my head trip from my reality
Did it scare you to get close to me?
I had crash and burn before I found my way
This ain't the end of the story so I turned the page
so I turned the page
I've been putting my faith in the wrong place
I've been using desires as an escape
Travel miles to follow the setting sun
Counting numbers on the horizon
Now I know I was never on my own
Keep my eye on the sky as you lead me home
