Simple sound
Wait for it
Fixed you up
What's wrong with this
Burning down
From the top to that
Eat through the walls
But keep it dim
It started with a big hint
And ended in a whimper
And a little kid
You know you somehow got to go
Get out of here
Make yourself a lie
And oh the innocence
The thought of having it
Won't let you understand
How the way the world around you
Tends to wreck the insides
Wreck the insides
And it's hard to say
What'll come of this
You know that something must
It has to be around the corner
Catch yourself
Leave the rest to sink in vain
And Live a life in harmony
Simple sound
Wait for it
Sleep through the day
Because the night is your friend

Tell me please
Where are you sleeping
Slip me the key
And I'll be leaving
Oh we know just what you have been scheming
A metaphor or it's never enough
You were talking about
When you would cut yourself up
It is easy now
That your bleeding out
You're finding out
How in love you are with yourself
You're bleeding out
You're finding out
How in love you are with yourself
You wanna leave now
But you're stuck in amazement
If you go off
You'll end up displaced
Oh so
How simple can you go
And I can see by the waves on your face
And I know that you think this is such a disgrace
And I don't know who you are anymore
Because my I's
My I's
They are lying to me
Could it be
My I's
My I's
They are lying to me
These days
These days who knows who's really trying
Oh but I swear that I
Have not been hypnotized
By you
You're finding out
It's simple how
It's easy now
That you are bleeding out
That you are bleeding out
I guess that you'll be leaving now
That you are bleeding out
I guess that you'll be leaving now

Morning

Tell me something's off
Everything seems so wrong
There's nothing left to be
And no one left to see you
Well keep it to yourself
Solve your problems
How
Everything's a mess
When everyone's around you
Lower all your vows
Level your head out
Keep yourself away
No need to complicate it
So you'll say
You've got it figured out
She's staring out the window now
her arms are crossed
And she's resting on the sill
It's unexplainable
And you hardly know
What's going on around you
And you sing along
And you stand alone
You're were smart
But you were so detached
And you never had a second guess
In that head of yours
Oh well
I guess it's the same as it's ever been
You were cool
But you were so protected
You never had a second guess in those friendships
No
Oh woe
Where are they now oh
We were through
But I was so attached
That I never gave the time
Or anyone else a chance
So drunk and alone
Is all that I've ever been
But that's alright
Cause I can watch the days turn into nights
Oh it's just fine
Cause I can see the stars reflect off of her eyes
Oh it's so nice
To have you here
Even if it's just in my mind

Broken ribs
Bruised lungs
You're lying in the streets
Of the neighborhood you grew up in
And you're so tired
Will you make it home tonight
And if it's alright
We can wash the sins from our minds
And just this time
I will lie
And say that it's alright
Tell you everything is fine
There you are
Over on the sidelines
Always in the background
Always just hanging around
With all of the friends
That you don't even like
You're always pretending
And you
Oh you say you're here to help
And I know you're not
And oh well you're broken down
And it's the same for me
Oh is it the same for you
Healthy heart
An open smile
You're standing amongst
All of the children you grew up with
Back in such simple times
Asking what will you do with your life
And it's not the question of
It's the absence of the self
You know way back when
And it's been so long
This was and always will be the first love
For the love of what went wrong
But it's something that could've always been rearranged
But I choose to stay the same
There you are
Over on the sidelines
Always in the background
Always just hanging around
With all of the friends
That you don't even like
You're always pretending
And you
Oh you say you're here to help
And I know you're not
And oh well you're broken down
And it's the same for me
Oh is it the same for you
So much older now
In your wedding gown
I think I've finally found myself
I hope it's what you want
Here's another song
To haunt the way the air sits
How your hair stirs
This is sorrow
Longing for what once was
But those days are gone
Nothing's going on
From the porch we would watch another storm
Is this the allure that I still long for
Or another late night drive home
And another drink alone
While you're soaring to a common cloud
Hope you can end it now
Oh please show me how
Tell me I need help
There you are
Over on the sidelines
Always in the background
Always just hanging around
With all of the friends
That you don't even like
You're always pretending
And you
Oh you say you're here to help
And I know you're not
And oh well you're broken down
And it's the same for me
Oh is it the same for you
There you are
Over on the sidelines
Always in the background
Always just hanging around
With all of the friends
That you don't even like
You're always pretending
And you
Oh you say you're getting help
And I know you're not
And oh well you're broken down
And it's the same for me
No is it the same for you

The summer days
The wind and rain
Of all things that could ever change
Will slowly take the better half
You know that this will never last
And so
Just won't you tell me how long
Have you been this way
The leaves will fall
And hearts will change
We'll all go our separate ways
And all you have will come to pass
So if you love just make it last
And so
Just won't you tell me how long
Have you been this way
You were sleeping on the sidewalk
Wondering if you're ever gonna have to wake up
Cause you feel as though you're never gonna have to
And she is watching from the front porch
Wondering if you're ever gonna figure it out
Cause she feels as though
You're never gonna have to know
The winter nights will ease your pain
And you'll live on to better days
The sand has finally turned to glass
So here we are nothing at last
And so
Just won't you tell me how long
Have you been this way
Has all the sound in your life gone completely away
Do the lights reach your eyes
Or are they finally diminishing
Like how all things that make you wonderful
Will be no longer
Then what will I say
Other than how long
Have you been this way
How long do you plan to stay awake
You were sleeping on the sidewalk
Wondering if you're ever gonna have to wake up
Cause you feel as though
You're never gonna have to grow

Your only friends are doctors now
And it doesn't seem to ring a sound
You're holding on to dear life now
You're just holding on to make a sound
There's nothing to be seen here
Nothing to be mentioned
Then slowly you begin talking to me
You're lying from the inside out
Your teeth are rotting in your mouth
Your head is in your hands now
You're just holding on to make a sound
There's nothing to be seen here
Nothing to be mentioned
Then slowly you begin talking to me
Slowly they can tell that you're falling apart
With no leads on your body that'll never hold out
And all the thoughts in your heads slowly start to stir up
Knowing this all along never really helped out
Slowly they can tell that you're falling apart
With no leads on your body that'll never hold out
And all the thoughts in your heads slowly start to stir up
Knowing this all along never really helped out
Slowly
Slowly
Slowly
Slowly
Fall apart

And he grabs it
And he grabs it
and he throws it on your mark
In full confidence
Full confidence
And he misses
And he misses
And he finally gets what he deserves
His loneliness
His lowliness
Is part of his decision making
We retrieve
And we retrieve
And we finally see
Who's been leaving them
And what for
Our faults of course
It's all gone
That's for sure
We're so absent that we can't think right
And our tongues are constantly tied up tight
Doing things that we agreed on weren't so right
I'll move out of state
I'll get out of here
I'll get out of mind
And move into the clear
We're so caught up
In that one thing that we know how to
And we're so caught up
In that one thing that we know how to
And we're so caught up
In that one thing that we know how to
Oh we're so caught up
In that one thing that we know how to go about
We retrieve
And we retrieve
And we finally see
Who's been leaving them
And what for
Our faults of course
It's all gone
That's for sure
We retrieve
And we retrieve
And we finally see
Who's been leaving them
And what for
Our faults of course
It's all gone
That's for sure

If that's what you call home
Then I don't know where I come from
Rotate
Rotate
Just like the lights above and not know
Who
You're soaring
You're so high up
And oh will you
Ever come back down
Explosions
Explosions
Tear the worlds apart
And send the back to where they would start
Send the days back to when they were dark
You're soaring
You're so high up
And oh will you
Ever come back down
You're soaring
You're so high up
And oh will you
Ever come back
No
You're going to spend your days in clouds
And so this is where it all comes from
If that's what you call home
Then I don't know where I come from
Rotate like the lights above
And not know
What's going on
You're so high up
Rotate like the lights above
And not know
What's going on
You're so high up

Stranded on an island
In your mind you know it's violent
Finding out what makes our heads up
They're filled with all the rights
And all the wrongs
It's pointless go along
You watch your mouth
You speak with confidence
Making yourself seem so lovely
So if you have pain
Well then you probably deserve it
And the last time that I saw her
Was the last time that I heard this
So if you have pain
Well then you probably deserve it in some way
You wait
You wait
You wait
He reaches over
And he grabs his stash
He gets in his daily dose
So he can better understand the self
She reaches over to her nightstand
And she grabs her pen
She writes down all of her thoughts now
So she can understand how she felt back then
So if you have pain
Well then you probably deserve it
And the last time that I saw her
Was the last time that I heard this
So if you have pain
Well then you probably deserve it in some way
You wait
You wait
You wait
I lie down here for rest
And I'll begin to guess
How these machines came about
Drift off
Visualizing
Unmeaningly I'll hear the noises
But fact is the fear
That keeps these walls in tact
So relax
And take a deep one
Won't come across it
With a pen and paper
Ideas come easy
Don't rush it
Saver
I'm here
So just steer
Go out of perspective
And just take it easy
Walk around until you're ready
Find a seat
And watch it all come down
Down
