[No lyrics]

. . .


I followed your every move
In a stride that wills disguise
Little markings clue the find

Your red lips speak of painted figures
The teeth of mangled little listeners
The thoughts that hide your rusty scissors and hooded men

Swinging honesty across this violence
Obscurity has no hero

The world looks better when you're falling
Grace to comfort enough to crawling
Divided we must pray for the broken
No one can fix us
We are, we'll always be the wronged

Your touch seethes of emptiness
The callous tips against the brush
The worlds now breaking off to crust

The world looks better when you're falling
Grace to comfort enough to crawling
Divided we must pray for the broken
No one can fix us
We are, we'll always be the wronged

We're conspiring

Where was your heart when we needed it most?
Live in denial and I'll be your ghost

There is nothing to let go
Only time will let you know
If you're worth anything
And you'll know that I'm
Giving up way too early
Let the axis turn your free
And destroy everything you love!

The world looks better when you're falling
Grace to comfort enough to crawling
Divided we must pray for the broken
No one can fix us

We are, we are
We are, we are
We are, we'll always be the wronged

. . .


If this is my last chance, keep it
I don't need your jokes
I'm better off without the misunderstanding

If I am displeasing, then leave me
The reason to all our worth
Would I truly care if we truly mean nothing?

Have we been fed crazy?
Will the curtain save me from my final pun?

No one will save us
You think that somebody cares while the water is rising up?
Let the cleansing begin

Mother, will they ever thank you?
Instead we hid behind these foolish lies
Ambitions have told us otherwise

Cold as winter, guns of summer
Point and watch them run
Summer's will and debris in their son
This is your last chance, will you give up?

But in our turning towards the new
And disregarding in these old ways
Will we gain some truth or suffer again?

Allow it as it breaks
And showers our souls
Rain down fire and burn us all

No one will save us
You think that somebody cares while the water is rising up?
Let the cleansing begin

Mother, will they ever thank you?
Instead we hide behind these foolish lies
Magicians have told us otherwise

Cold as winter, guns of summer
Point and watch them run
Summer's will and debris in their son
This is your last chance, will you give up?

There is only one judge... it is yourself.

Cold as winter, guns of summer
Point and watch them run!
Summer's will and debris in their son
This is your last chance, will you give up?

Run
Summer's will and debris in their son
This is your last chance, will you
This is your last chance

(Cold as winter, guns)
This is your last chance, Will you give up?
(Cold as winter, guns)
This is your last chance, Will you give up?
(Cold as winter, guns)
This is your last chance, Will you give up?
This is your last chance, Will you?

. . .


Keep your secrets in the dark
Nothing matters anymore
Body's breaking, drive me crazy
This is not your place
No, this is not your playground, it's my heart

We were stupid, we got caught
Nothing matters anymore
So what?
Here we are, juggernaut

Courage broken, lashed to scars
Can this love be what I want?
Body's breaking, driving me crazy
It's your fault

We were stupid, we got caught
Nothing matters anymore
So what?
Here we are, juggernaut

Juggernaut

So let's hang us a hangmen
We'll bury our burdens in blood
So hang us a hangmen
We'll bury our burdens in blood

Become stronger juggernaut

Answer me...
(Did we take this too far?)
You've given all I could need...
(Did we take this too far?)
Oh, but your kiss won't leave me be....
(Did we take this too far?)
'Cause your teeth just won't stop chewing out my heart

We were stupid, we got caught
Nothing matters anymore
So what?
Here we are juggernaut

Here we are, juggernaut
We are juggernaut
Why? Why? Why?

. . .


I welcome this pain
Beating down on me
Is it your eyes
That choose not to see?

All I would do
If only you knew
All of my trust
Was given to you

Oh please, this what I can give
What else do you need from me
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is
This thing that now I've become
You hate it so much
You keep on running from it

No matter the distance, oh
No matter how
No matter how far

I bury this hurt
Concealed in this heart
Go lock all your doors
These cold steps will warm

Oh please, this what I can give
What else do you need from me
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is
This thing that now I've become
You hate it so much
You keep on running from it

No matter the distance, oh
No matter how
No matter how far
No matter how far
Far it is

Oh, please, this what I can give
What else do you need from me
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is
This thing that now I've become
You hate it so much
You keep on running from it

No matter the distance, oh
No matter how
No matter how far

No, oh whoa oh
No matter how far
No, oh whoa, ay
No matter how far
No, oh whoa, ay
No matter how far
No, oh whoa, ay
No matter how
No matter how far

. . .


Oh
I'm giving up
The one I love
I'll conduct the great disaster
To scar my skin, to own this hurt

They offered their hearts
And we tore them apart
They offered their blood
And we left them so parched

I don't know if I can give you anything you want

Go on and give me a gun
Never mind what I've done
They left me no choice
Oh, they left me no choice

Go on and give me the gun
Let me blow them open
It's out of my reach
Never mind what they think about me

I don't want to say
That with mercy
We decay
Converging closer and faster
Does all I touch turn to dust?

And she confessed her love
Only I shut her up
As I took all her words
And allowed them to rust

I don't know if I'm the man you truly want to love

Go on and give me the gun
Never mind what I've done
They left me no choice
Oh, they left me no choice

Go on and give me the gun
Let me blow them open
It's out of my reach
Never mind what they think about me

Little how they learned anything about me
Meddling eyes that judge mistakes
What awful things they say
When backs are turned and no one's looking

Go on and give me the gun
Never mind what I've done
They left me no choice
Oh, they left me no choice

Go on and give me the gun
Let me blow them open
It's out of my reach
Never mind what they think about me

Oh, in this shattered symphony
Dah dah, de dah dah de dum
Oh, in this shattered symphony
Dah dah, de dah dah de dum

(Give me the gun!)
(Give me the gun!)

Go on and give me the gun

. . .


This is the hidden truth
The world between the lines
There is no understanding us

These lines have marked divisions
The weaker seek to malign
With this looming pressures ending
No more room for reprimanding

Ooh
Their words are lightly thrown
In a world that's caught in a writer's web
Humiliation reigns

Just leave us alone
If it's not worth the letting go
It's trouble, whoa, whoa

Just leave us alone
If it's not worth the letting go
It's trouble, whoa, whoa

Communications breaking up
The static cutting the lines
This lying liar's had his turn

You've managed nothing more
Than a pathetic attempt at attack
But this heart is everlasting
Pushing forward, never crashing

Just leave us alone
If it's not worth the letting go
It's trouble, whoa, whoa

Just leave us alone
If it's not worth the letting go
It's trouble, whoa, whoa

Oh, state your case and go hide
Leave us to your worst
I will never give in to the hurt of your lies
'Cause there is no hope for all your jokes
And your plaguing insecurity

Now I'll play your enemy
The only word you could find for me

Just leave us alone
If it's not worth the letting go
It's trouble, whoa, whoa

Just leave us alone
If it's not worth the letting go
It's trouble, whoa, whoa

(In this World of Lines)
(The strong will decide)

Just leave us alone
If it's not worth the letting go
It's trouble, whoa, whoa

(In this World of Lines)
(The strong will decide)

Just leave us alone
If it's not worth the letting go
It's trouble, whoa, whoa, woah

. . .


Never mind all the lines, I'm coming
And there is no better part of me
You'll see, the darkest light the blind I'll be

I accept that you chose to forget
The horrid thing you made of me, My dear
It is alright, It is so

The laughing feels so good
But the world misunderstood all I said
There was no joke in what I meant

Someone please come
Shelter me from
All that I am
Never again
Will I believe the same old story

Someone please come
Shelter me from
All that I am
Never again
Will I believe the same old story

I've given up on all I love
For an honest moment of clarity
I need to feel alright, please let me breathe

In a life I made out of nothing
To cleanse this useless identity
Will you hear all the world and its whys?
Just wait..

Will the latter half be as good?
If only I misunderstood
I weigh all this judgment, I've been blamed

Someone please come
Shelter me from
All that I am
Never again
Will I believe the same old story

Someone please come
Shelter me from
All that I am
Never again
Will I believe the same old story

I failed you
I fail...

There's no understanding in miracles
When the worst, it always comes true
Ha ha!
I am the nothing you have saved

Someone please come
Shelter me from
All that I am
Never again
Will I believe the same old story

Someone please come
Shelter me from
All that I am
Never again
Will I believe the same old story

It eats us like cancer
We're hoping for something
Maybe an answer
With all that you've done for me
I'll give you nothing

It eats us like cancer
We're hoping for something
Maybe an answer
With all you've done for me
Made out of nothing

Made out of Nothing
Made out of Nothing
Made out of Nothing
Made out of Nothing
Made out of Nothing
Made out of Nothing
Made out of Nothing
Made out of Nothing

. . .


Each night I wish to God he'd let her rest
This hurts me more than any man could bare
She's my angel from the west
There will never be one to take her place

When you go, I will know
Follow you to the stars
And when the world burns apart
There'll be a place for your car

I'd give you everything
If only I'd have known you'd take it
But you don't 'cause you're you
That's why I'll always love you

My Pearl of the Stars

The pill she takes, the pain of which she drowns
Our baby sleeps next door, she's new in town
I'll tell her how wonderful you were
I'll remember everything you were to me

When you go, I will know
Follow you to the stars
And when the world burns apart
There'll be a place for your car

I'd give you everything
If only I'd have known you'd take it
But you don't 'cause you're you
That's why I'll always love you

My Pearl of the Stars

When you go, I will know
Follow you to the stars
And when the world burns apart
There'll be a place for your car

I'd give you everything
If only I'd have known you'd take it
But you don't 'cause you're you
That's why I'll always love you

When you go, I will know
Follow you to the stars
And when the world burns apart
There'll be a place for your car

I'd give you everything
If only I'd have known you'd take it
But you don't 'cause you're you
That's why I'll always love you

My Pearl of the Stars

. . .


I hate everything I am becoming
This change is torture
There is never enough to give
Only plenty to take
And this I wage

When the ground parts from below
Will it feel so?
How can I gain from another when the other goes?
This hand, this hurt, my heart

I'll flirt with disaster
Just know now, man, the deal is off

I'll be no good this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm murderer, the worst this world has seen

Mercy, Please leave her just a little bit longer
She's all, my world
My love, I apologize
With that, you will see the end of days
Just rest assured

'Cause they won't let her go and I remain so
Alone to work on a clever way to get her home
I will do what I must

I'll flirt with disaster
Just know now. boy, you're out of luck

I'll be no good this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm murderer, the worst these worlds have seen

Oh save me from defeat again
This is war
Murder the one so close
While she trusts, you curse
Die, my darling!

If only you know
How lovely you glow in the flame of error

Oh I ask too much
Please turn back the clock
And take me instead

How have you come to lose
The only thing, the other one to your two
I've become the wrong in everyone's sleep
Please burn me a God

I'll be no good this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm murderer, the worst this world has seen

Oh save me from defeat again
This is war
Murder the one so close
While she trusts, you curse
Die, my darling!

I'll be no good this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm murderer, the worst this world has seen

Oh save me from defeat again
Oh save me from defeat again

. . .


She wheezes out her dying wish
Come closer, one more moment, one more kiss
And I love her
I give her all I can

Her body sinks, her heat released
The curtain swings, this time she leaves
I'll remember all she's done for me
But only I forgot that I'm not ready to let her go

As all time moves
You'll be riddled with doubt
You mourn to pull through
But love is dangerous

When skeletons live
Inside your closets, thick and thin
You'll fear that no one will hear us sing our songs
The truth is relevant but not for long
'Cause love is our downfall

Ooh, I'm sorry this life cuts out everything
And leaves you to scrounge for nothing
(Give us the monster)

There's no chance to try and mend
What's been broken can't be bent
So the past remains the past until present

The cradle sways this black disguise
This chained coffin breathes our time's demise
All these shackles deceive just how long I've grieved

I made my move with no worry or doubt
Let them live as they do
My eternal reminder

When skeletons live
Inside your closets, thick and thin
You'll fear that no one will hear us sing our songs
The truth is relevant but not for long
'Cause love is our downfall

I'm sorry, but the hurt's not going away
I'll bury all the past
Everything in it is place
(Give us the monster!)

When skeletons live
Inside your closets, thick and thin
You'll fear that no one will hear us sing our songs
The truth is relevant but not for long
'Cause love!

When skeletons live
When skeletons live
When skeletons live
Inside your closets, thick and thin
You fear that no one will hear

I'm sorry this life cuts out everything
And leaves you to scrounge for nothing
(Give us the monster!)

I'm sorry this life cuts out everything
And leaves you to scrounge for nothing
(Give us the monster!)

. . .


You were all that we needed
To believe in our doubt
The hurt we allowed
We had sworn to believe them
And scattered across our memories found

You were all that we needed
To believe in our doubt
The worst, I'm afraid
The hurt we allowed

We defied the lines
And crossed into a great unknown
To read all the words we left out

In all, we all
Are truly afraid
In all, we are
Of the one thing we can't be
In all, we are
Are truly afraid
Wishing one day we can be strong

It's over, it's over
It's all coming apart
While you were sleeping
We were stealing your heart

It's over, it's over
It's all coming apart
Now, I'll never let this go
I sang

It's over, it's over
It's all coming apart
While you were sleeping
We were stealing your heart

It's over, it's over
Coming apart
Now, I'll never let this go
I sang

It's over, it's over
It's all coming apart
While you were sleeping
We were stealing your heart

It's over, it's over
Now, I'll never let this go... I sang
I know, I know, I know, I know
Shut Up, Shut Up, Shut Up

AHHHHHHHHH ---

. . .


Worlds are burning now to the endless shame of this mistaken way
We wither on and on in this game we play
Go ring on the bells of war and head straight into the lion's cage
You went and told your secrets here

So you can take to the grave
'Cause there is no stopping me, so long
Lungs hanging, this dead man's curtain
Believe in me 'cause I won't believe in this

The end is now starting
Oh so please just take your seat and live
Your last moment's waving goodbye
Desperately
Having a nice day we're
Swinging from gallows perched atop
Fool sit still while they ???

Spill on through killing fields
The blood of desperate men can change
The thirst of a boy who breathes again

So you can take to the grave
For there is no stopping me
Love hanging this dead man's curtain
Believe in me 'cause I have been holding you back

The end is now starting
Oh so please just take your seat and live
Your last moment's waving goodbye
Desperately
Having a nice day, we're
Swinging from gallows perched atop
Fool, sit still while they ???

There is no room for
Words against them now
'Cause you're my guiding light
They couldn't make a sound
Is there a way to say
To incriminate, oh, listen to me
Oh, well baby, open that door

So you can take to the grave
'Cause there is no stopping me
So long
Lungs hanging, this dead man's curtain
Believe in me as I won't believe in this

The end is now starting
Oh so please just take your seat, and live
Your last moment's waving goodbye
Desperately
Having a nice day we're
Swinging from gallow's perched atop
Fool, sit still while they ???

(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)

(Hallelujah)
(Hall...)

. . .


Heaven find
Me a place at the window
I'm on my march
To the end of me
I've buried a cold within this heart
I lost the cure that plagued the start
Oh, my lover, I ache
(I can't stand myself)

I've done all of these things for you
Stained my soul to bleed with you
(Help us, help us survive)
(Help us, help us)

Now wallow in sick and disease
To measure out a man that no one can be
Go learn your turn and swallow a shepherd if they follow
Please greet them as they wave goodbye

Here's my blood
'Cause you will accept no other
I've hollowed this heart
To hide you within
(I can't stand my...)
I'm so sick of these things I do
Worse off, worse off, I blame you
(Help us, help us survive)
(Help us, help us)

Now wallow in sick and disease
To measure out a man that no one can be
Go learn your turn and swallow a shepherd if they follow
Please greet them as they wave goodbye

You
Did all
You could
But there's nothing left, no more left in you
Shame you
You know that the secrets kept would one day kill us all

Wallow through sick and disease
To measure out a man that no one can be
Go learn your turn and
Swallow a shepherd if they follow
Please greet them as they wave goodbye

Now wallow in sick and disease
To measure out a man that no one can be
Go learn your turn and swallow a shepherd if they follow
Please greet them as they wave goodbye

. . .


Is there something I can do
given the stakes I court you through
There's no limit to this
just give us what we need

Should you stagger, should you fall
Remember this and remember them all
You're a wretched design
This is all your fault

There going to press you
To leave now we'll look through
You find your no better when your left to go

Cause there's just no one in this world
like you, my darling, dear
Can I go living on this life without you?
Let this be my dying wish
Please give me more than this
It hurts so
Please I paid my price my penance

Hush, there is no lover just
enough to murder us
I am your ghost

Disturbed you ponder these tainted dreams
No questions unanswered, your future sings
There are limits to love, now learn to feel it's sting

You will shatter, you will fall
Rendering helpless your world dissolves
You can push on these walls
but help won't hear your call

There going to press you
To leave now we'll look through
You find your no better when your left to go

Cause there's just no one in this world
like you, my darling, dear
Can I go living on this life without you?
Let this be my dying wish
Please give me more than this
It hurts so
Please I paid my price my penance

Hush, there is no lover just
enough to murder us
I am your ghost

(Spoken): No matter what you tell yourself, ladies and gentleman, there is no end of the rainbow. No greater good or purpose, but you will only serve on the surface. There is one thing we can look forward to doing certainly amongst time. Why waste your time wondering who your are, when there are plenty of things you aren't? Lets give our egos a rest and put our hearts to work, shall we?

Cause there's just no one in this world
like you, my darling, dear
Can I go living on this life without you?
Let this be my dying wish
Please give me more than this
It hurts so
Please I paid my price my penance

Cause there's just no one in this world
like you, my darling, dear
Can I go living on this life without you?
Let this be my dying wish
Please give me more than this
It hurts so
Please I paid my price my penance

Hush, there is no lover just
enough to murder us
I am your ghost
