we'll pretend this never even happened
but all our oldest habits never die
we're the believers just to reach for atonement
you know we always were just one in the same
like getting burned in the heat of the moment, I'm in for the release but I'm in love with the pain
so let's get over ourselves and under anyone else
who doesn't mind a little dust on the shelf
I never worry that I'll end up alone, my demons know that I could never live myself
I had a feeling but they always escape me
my heart is open like a broken motel
yeah, we were close but that was too close to call
I know what to confess but I have no one to tell
you have the better part of me so it's always hard for me to offer what is left of myself
I only look for a fix when I'm broken
you know I'll take a hit and then I'll save you the rest
carry on but don't get carried away
I would have wanted you to stay but god knows I'm so unfaithful
take your places and wait just like the way we did in rehearsal almost every night
but I know it's the part you were born to play and I was standing in your light

Fiction

waiting for the moment to end
it'll never do to pretend
because you know we we're only good with goodbyes
you can take anything you want, but don't take it for granted
you can live all of your years, and not live how you planned it
you can want anything to be, and not wish for what's granted
we could be selling ourselves and live comfortably
you can stand up all on your own' but don't stand for what's handed
you can wait on something to give, and be waiting forever
we could never know what's beyond what our knowledge has granted
we could be telling ourselves what we'll come to be
I've been taking all of the time that I need so this lives when life goes on without me
even dreamers have to live but is fiction all you have to give?
if we can make this moment last then our present days will never pass
have you been letting nostalgia ruin all of your hopes and dreams?
I've been second guessing myself 'til now there's no answers, only notes and screams

Now and Forever

you keep me from falling for you now and forever
I had a thought escape me but maybe all the others set it free
but we're bound to figure out for what we're waiting patiently
broken down and bleeding from the neck we slow down to watch it like a wreck
it's not that complicated, but we were wasted changing faces the way you pass a glance in these crowded places
as long as we're living in this place, we'll always be under the weather
together we can do our worst, but god knows that we could do much better
do you ever think about all that's kept from you?
when you cut your ties what's shining through?
like the gold that never stays, we've seen better days
pour the gas and light the matches
lets burn this bridge
watch the flashes spread the ashes, i'm over it
pour the gas and light the matches and burn this with every distant memory

With That Said

the stale remarks said yesterday left me here where I won't stay
have I made a habit of repeating my mistakes?
I've already placed my bets on the cards that are showing
its alright within reason
I've bluffed my way through plenty times, this time I wont be seen
take the path that no one does, why'd we follow? just because
can we make our own decision even if no one will listen?
with shining eyes on glory dreams
to see them clear and to believe that I can make my own decisions no matter who may learn or listen
I thought that life would be more special
with that said, no I wont settle
I saw a part of myself in someone that I despise
and now I know what its like to look at myself through someone else's eyes
but all my thoughts keep controlling my actions and that's why I might seem anxious about something that could be, but that's more or less on me

Fortunes

I'll be thinking of you every time I hold this body and every time I wrap my hands around this neck
and every time you would expect a song to know you a little better than yourself, you'll always know that it was written from me
if you became the stereotype would everybody listen?
and follow every hook and every line on every frequency?
I know you would take me back in a heartbeat, but only if it were my last
then you always would be ridden from me
if you want to fight, lets fight for this love
fortunes can never be told
but everything you wanted that's in this world, you'll never have and to hold
but I was thinking she would be the one that would keep me waiting

Stay (Far Away)
04:03

the common ground we share is crumbling in disrepair
with that abuse it's been expected
we share the rate of accelerated availability
missing purposes and misdirect
you play the part but I broke the mold
who told you "do what you're told"
you make the rules I'm the exception
you set the bar and i'll close it down
i'll always hate this part of town
it's not how you start but how you end it
love is blind, love is deaf, and love is dumb but its all we have left that we all can believe in
this world is not for the taking
fuck all the love you've been making
because in the end we'll always give it all away
and deep inside I know it was right to want you to stay far away
