Aphasia Album

Breathe in, don’t flatline!

Breathe in, don’t flatline!

Don't rain on my – ooh…
Don't rain on my – ooh…
I've gone back and forth on the decision to stay put
Or leave on a dime
How quickly life seems to change for us
For us!

[Chorus]
Breathe in, don’t flatline
The choice is mine to live my life
So breathe in, don't flatline

Don't rain on my – ooh…
Don't rain on my – ooh…
I've gone back and forth on the decision to stay put
Or leave on a dime
How quickly life seems to change for us
For us…
For us…
For us!

[Chorus]
Breathe in, don’t flatline
The choice is mine to live my life
So breathe in, don't flatline
And if I leave now
If I leave now there’s so much more that I could find
So breathe in, don’t flatline

How will I know if I’m in control?
I'll never know until I let go

[Chorus]
Breathe in, don’t flatline
The choice is mine to live my life
So breathe in, don't flatline
And if I leave now
If I leave now there’s so much more that I could find
So breathe in, don’t flatline

I won't waste my time, I've made my mind
And just like that I'm making the hardest decision
That I've ever have to make

Stuck in a memory of us
It's so hard to know that we're worlds apart
And I was so wrong to think this would all be so simple
I dream about better days and
Your eyes, And I hardly reconize
Since I've been gone, thinking of you is not so easy
But trust me I'll be back for more
Until then I'll close my eyes
And your past will be safe with me here
Forever

I dive into a world of fact and fiction
But I'm swimming in my own contradiction
In my fantasy you are here with me
And it makes my nights a little richer
I'm falling in love with a faded picture of you, my fantasy
You're here with me

You can say its alright
You can say you don't mind
It's killing me to be away from you
So you can say its alright
And you can say you don't mind
It's killing me to be away from you

I'm done with hellos and goodbyes
I'm falling apart inside
I try to make you speak
But your beautiful, awkward silence falls on me

But trust me I'll be back for more
Until then I'll close my eyes
And your past will be safe with me here
Forever

I dive into a world of fact and fiction
But I'm swimming in my own contradiction
In my fantasy you are here with me
And it makes my nights a little richer
I'm falling in love with a faded picture of you, my fantasy
You're here with me

You can say its alright
You can say you don't mind
It's killing me to be away from you
So you can say its alright
And you can say you don't mind
It's killing me to be away from you

It's killing me to be away from
You are the burning in my throat
A gentle wisp of smoke
That ever quickly floats past my face
Then you're gone, and I wish it wasn't true

You can say its alright
You can say you don't mind
It's killing me to be away from you
So you can say its alright
And you can say you don't mind
It's killing me to be away from you

all bets in
now all bets off
I watched you play me; it's easy to see
your bittersweet hypocrisy has soured my good mood
so I walked away from the pain you deal
I walked away from your game
I've had enough

this hand is worthless so now you can count me out
your house of cards has finally come crashing over you
and I will be fine because the odds are against you now
in this game of aces high you drew the two

I'm through I'm sick off all your games
and I'm so tired of you
I walked away from the pain you deal
I walked away from your game
I've had enough

I've taken it upon myself now
to let you know
that I can't take this
the cold embrace of this knife in my back
and your hands on my mouth

just reach into my throat
start tearing out my heart
you took it all away from me
just reach into my throat
start tearing out my lungs
'cause you took my voice away
and now I have no choice

but then again...
I could never take my time for granted and waste it like you do
I think that's something that you always knew
and in the end I just want to know how you could do this to me
you owe me a reason for why you are so cold

you didn't have to walk away
it didn't have to end this way
'cause you had it all and you just gave it away

a vivid memory burned in my mind
I tried to put out the fire
you broke the bond and now our time has expired
and I was unaware you did not care
my trust is broken and beyond repair

you didn't have to walk away
but then again...
our differences we could never mend
I'm losing you and refusing to hide my pain
I knew you were too good to be true
do you feel the same as I do now, for you

you're left wanting more
of the chemical that fills your veins
and drains our reservoir of hope for you
you're saturated
you're sedated
you concentrate on your next move
so go on and make it...

no guilt to hide from you, at all
because I tried and I failed

but someday you'll break away
someday you'll drag yourself out
still, I wish you could feel just how I feel for you
if you could someday

like an eraser touches paper
the plans you've sketched into your book have vanished
take a second look, they're gone
your plans have changed
your dreams have faded
but life is full of second tries
go on and take it

bite your lip
and clench your fist
and tell me that I'm wrong
you go on and on...
I don't want it
I don't need it
because it brings me down
one day you'll wake to find me gone
this we end tonight
the pain we end tonight
I've had enough
so take it back
I'm gone
we work it out
we scream and shout
so hard to get along
you go on and on...
I don't want it
I don't need it
because it brings me down
one day you'll wake to find me gone

I forget
the taste of
the smell on your skin
and I never dreamed
that I'd see you again
Love or dreams?
I can't decide
there's nothing more for me to say
I wish I never had to compromise
I ache to hear your whisper
as my lips let out a lonesome sigh
for you
when I come back to you we lay
rediscovering the days when we first found out
that we fit together perfectly
we'll fade away together
cause I can't stay forever
are you ok?

I can feel it rip through my skin
I flow freely in the wind
I cry, I try
with a bloodstain in my life
all we are is all we are
and who are you?
I should blame you for a love unfaithful
but I'll save this reaction
all we are is all we are
and who are you?
today I tried to close this wound
and I fear these thoughts won't disappear
force fed lies
am I blind?
all we are is all we are
and who are you?
I should blame you for a love unfaithful
but I'll save this reaction
all we are is all we are
and who are you?
who are you today?
I will push for new
and I have advice for you
run, just run
I've been awake for hours now staring at the sun
and I know all you say and everything you do
it's in these late hours that I find
I'm through with you

with a gun to your head
you still wouldn't change the way you are
and I can see your hollow dreams are the reason for your greed
they are all the same - always dying to attain success and wealthiness
behind closed doors
we all are fighting so hard to make you see
that we all want more than your superficial dreams
we are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
we all want more
so wrap your arms around me tight
I know its hard for you to hear
but failure is a just part of life - is harder than it seems
cause if we were meant to fly, why are wings so hard to come by
so close the door
we all are fighting so hard to make you see
that we all want more than your superficial dreams
we are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
we all want more
left behind, life is so unkind
why even try?

so alone I know you never wanted me
cast the stone
into my reality
and there's no way out of here
set the tone
you always told me what to be
I will follow through
there's nothing left to lose
face the light
it's time to draw the line
so don't let it slip away
and break the silence
just let it die
look around
now I think I finally see
have I found
a way for me to live a dream
it's my way out of here
safe and sound
cause now your hold is weakening
I will follow through
there's nothing left to lose
I mean it
I don't need this
I don't have to take it
I've done my time
I've had it
I don't have to take it
