We're So Sick

Would it sound redundant if I said "all I want is a change"?
Desensitized by the lies that flicker at me.
I don't think that I'll make it
I just want someone to please listen to me.
It's undeniable, but I can't explain it
Because everything I say just hits the walls.
And if you hear me screaming, then please come save me
The truth is I don't have a clue at all.
And I wish I wasn't so critical of everything I say.
I'm just a spark that burned out in the snow without a trace.
But you make me sick.
I'm tired and I don't want anything to do with you.
Am I coming through?
Can you hear me now?

These Old Bones

Ladies and gentlemen, there's no turning back now.
It's time to listen up
Because I got the answer to cure all of your bad dreams
Give me something to grab so I don't fall back to where I was before.
Remember all those times you were honest with yourself for once in your life?
'Cause you're not quite stable
I saw you under the streetlight
And you just weren't able
To get your words to fall down right
And right now, I bet your picking up the pieces
And you'll scatter them across this town
And act like someone you're not
But not me. I don't regret a single god-damn thing
And I'm not a part of this fucking lie
I won't let the world get the best and try to pull me down
I know that this won't matter in the long run
I know you think it's funny
But let me tell you right now, I'm not laughing
The system's flawed and I don't think that you get it
Let me spell it out -
Every time I walk outside, I'm buried under the madness that you've made
'Cause you're not quite stable
I saw her under the streetlight
And she just wasn't able
To get her words to fall down right
Lately, I feel like I'm out of my own skin
Like the ghost of me slipped through the cracks in my bedroom
And now there's just no place for these old bones
And through all the time and trouble, I hope your problems go away
Get off your path from self-destruction
Right now, I'll bet you're picking up the pieces
And you'll scatter them across this down
Now go and act like someone you're fucking not
But not me, I don't regret a single god-damn thing
I'm not a part of this fucking lie
I won't let the world get the best and try to pull me down
I won't let the world get the best and try to pull me-
Get down and off your path from self-destruction

The static on the TV is coursing through my veins
It feels like I'm sinking in a sea of black and white
It slowly takes control of my thoughts
The disasters are being numbed down
Draw the curtain
Let me see those red stained hands that are ripping me from all of my emotions
I wanna see those red stained hands that are ripping me from all of my emotions
They say everything is going to be alright, but that's exactly what someone would say if they saw it the way that it is intended to be
This conundrum is starting to be part of the scene
The disasters are being numbed down
I wanna see those red stained hands that are ripping me from all of my emotions
Just let me see your red stained hands that are ripping me from all of
My emotions

I've got a mountain to climb and I don't wanna be the one standing at the ground to catch you when you fall down
I've gotta get this thing off of my chest
And after that I'll see you at the top
Will be my last regret
Gonna be my one last bow
Gotta be the last time I take it all for granted, now
I gotta get this off of my chest
And then you'll see what I'm all about
And now I'm sitting her forever
Waiting for your name to break
Like flowers through the asphalt
I never thought I'd be forever seventeen
My mind's always stuck in the past
So tonight I'm dressing up like a ghost
'Cause I'm not cut out for this mess
I've seen it all before, I'll see it one last time
I've watched the shadows of what we could be divide
All these people stopped living like themselves
And started living for everybody else
And I stopped looking up when I saw grey skies
I took one look around and opened my eyes
There's no sense in being something you're not
So be yourself, fuck everybody else
Time keep stretching and I'm just tearing
I never thought this would be happening to me
But I guess I was wrong
So now tonight I'm climbing out of the grave
I've been digging myself all along
Time keeps stretching and I'm just tearing

So did you ever find your place in the world that you used to hate?
Did you ever turn around? No, I know you never changed a bit
So get a new hand to drag you out, or get a new soul to throw around
Or did you ever turn everything right-side up?
Settle back and tear this apart
Because this is the end, but I hope that you live on
If the words don't come out right, I promise it's over
I just wanna watch you unravel while I dangle by a thread
But I'm still just sitting here wondering if you ever caught your break
(Catch your break)
It's time to let this go
So if you're pining for a disaster then come on down
So if we're coming to a close, let me get this out before the end
You think you ever cross my mind?
Oh, if every dime I only had a dime
I'm singing-
This is the end but I hope that you live on
If the words don't come out right
Then I found where my trust went to
I just wanna watch you unravel while I dangle by a thread
But I'm still just sitting here wondering if you ever caught your break
(Catch your break)
But I think it's time to let this go
So if you're pining for a disaster then come on down

Giving Up the Ship

I'm so scared of what comes next
I've become so void inside, so reckless out
It's no good
And I feel like these walls could speak
If I don't break, and they don't bend
Then which direction are we headed then?
'Cause I've got so much to say
But the words don't fall down right
They ripple off the page
To the floor tonight
So tear this down
And take me home
Burn this down
And bring me home
Oh, it's not what it seems to be
Help me out, I need a hand
This grave I dug is too deep
And you might just think that I hate you so
But if you're ever lost and you need a friend
You can come inside and be home
And now the clock reads half past eight
And I'm feeling so alone
If I could make it out alive
You know I'd be home
And after all was said and done
We washed the red from our hands
We came clean
But where do I go from here?
Did we break the mold or did we break ourselves?
Did we tear apart?
My heart's no bitter mess, no
'Cause I'm sick with apathy
So tear this down
And take me home
Burn this down
And bring me home
