I've been thinking that I'm better off alone,
I'm sure there's secrets that you didn't think I know,
Let's use smoke to chase the snakes from holes,
And let fire tell friend from foe,
A knife in the back,
A smile as a front
A lie to my face,
What's hiding underneath?
A knife in the back,
A smile as a front,
What's hiding underneath? What's hiding underneath?
So they say,
With friends like you who needs enemies?
Watching me,
Just waiting for my next mistake,
They say keep your friends close,
But keep your enemies closer,
What do you do when they're one in the same?
What do you do when they're one in the same?
A knife in the back,
A smile as a front,
Lie to my face,
What's hiding underneath?
A knife in the back,
A smile as a front,
What's hiding underneath? What's hiding underneath?
So they say,
With friends like you who needs enemies?
Watching me,
Just waiting for my next mistake,
A knife in my back, a smile as a front,
Lie to my face, lie to my face,
So they say,
With friends like you who needs enemies?
Watching me,
Just waiting for my next mistake,

Where do I even start,
To tell you how I feel,
Whenever we’re apart,
My mind starts to unreel
Recycling the things that I said, that I did
I’m replaying them all in my head,
I feel so high and I’m not sure why,
Because of how I’m falling for you,
I’d given up on all my chances,
Of finding love, Yet here I am
Pinch me now,
Is this for real?
I’ve fallen in love,
It’s so surreal,
I’m not easy to impress,
I’m a romantic but I’m not quite hopeless
Pinch me now,
Is this a dream?
Or am I a part of some crazy scheme?
It feels too good to be true,
That I would end up with a girl like you
Even when you’re not with me,
You’re all that I see,
My mind is useless,
My heart is racing,
They never seem to agree,
Don’t even get me started,
On doing anything without you,
I’m so lost without you,
Until I’m with you,
It makes me want to scream,
I’d given up on all my chances,
Of finding the one, Yet here you are
Pinch me now,
Is this for real?
I’ve fallen in love,
It’s so surreal,
I’m not easy to impress,
I’m a romantic but I’m not quite hopeless
Pinch me now,
Is this a dream?
Or am I a part of some crazy scheme?
It feels too good to be true,
That I would end up with a girl like you

A house divided
Burning faster than the paper bridges we once built
Just think of all the progress that's been killed
Desperate and destitute
Putting our lives in a liar's hands
They've silenced us and made all their demands
We're not screaming just because we're angry
We scream because we all need change
We're not screaming just because we're angry
We scream because we won't settle for
The choice they made for us behind closed doors
A fire at sea
Falling apart like the castles that we made of sand
Your brother falls and you won't lend a hand
How different can we be beyond our skin and bones?
We're all singing the same song but in different tones
We pass the blame that no one owns
Come on!
We'll stand together
Or we'll fall alone
We're all suffocating in this sad excuse of a home
We'll stand together
Or we'll fall alone
We won't be taken alive
Now's the time to overthrow
We won't!! Be heard! Until we raise our voices!

These four walls hang frames without pictures,
No memory of life,
Just this grey ceiling,
Nothing I chose led me to the answers,
Why was I given all this pain?
Why Can’t I go back?
Trapped down within the depths choking on the water,
Gripping to the stone walls grasping at the mortar,
Stars above screaming my name,
Can’t remember why I’m here,
Why I even came,
Addressing these letters so I won’t be forgotten,
I’ll live in ink and graphite sentences,
Attached to the paper that hangs on your window,
Forever forgotten and thrown away
Why can’t I go back?
Trapped down within the depths choking on the water,
Gripping to the stone walls grasping at the mortar,
Stars above screaming my name,
Can’t remember why I’m here,
Why I even came,
Please God hear my pleas
Please God hear my screams
Trapped down within the depths choking on the water,
Gripping to the stone walls grasping at the mortar,
Stars above screaming my name,
Can’t remember why I’m here,
Why I even came,

You hit me like adrenaline
Like a needle in my arm delivering
The highest highs, the lowest lows
What comes next I’ll never know
Nailed to my crucifix
Like a junkie bent to get his fix
I don’t know why I even try
I can’t escape this fucking itch
Cut deep inside
With this knife that will find
All the answers that guide me along the way
Cut to the bone
I cannot stand alone
I just wish I could show you the price I’ve paid
These blisters
On my hands
From stubborn will
Meets change of plans
These blisters
On my hands
Can’t let go of you
Yet you’re all I can’t stand
You ease the pain like bitter pills
Taste so rotten, but you make me feel
Invincible, so miserable
and the come-down's so unbearable
Ignite me like a cigarette
Spark the flame and take a breath
You give me life, you give me death,
But without you, I'm a fucking wreck
Anxious and nervous
I do not deserve this
I can't seem to cure this disease in me
Fighting my way
Through the night, through the day
As the clouds turn to grey and hang over me
These blisters
On my hands
From stubborn will
Meets change of plans
These blisters
On my hands
Can’t let go of you
Yet you’re all I can’t stand
When will you see
These strings pulling back at me
When will you see
This door revolves endlessly
(Round and round we go)
Running in circles
Repeating the cycle
Chasing our tails
Can't help but recite
All the past mistakes
We bend we break
A trail of blood
We have left in our wake
We swing our sticks
We throw our stones
Our words break more
Than just our bones
Is this the end
Or can we pretend
That the wounds we've left
Will heal and mend
Round and round we go
