Youth In Decay

Life's passing us by
Every single
Day just feels like
The end of an era
And who am I
To think that we're
Bigger than these
Changes we all go through
When you look me in the face
And ask when my beauty fades
Will you still love me
You know you shouldn't
Think like that because
time's no match for the love I feel for you
And as a matter of fact
I wish that we could be stripped down
To just our bones and beating hearts
And only then
Can we say that we've got a hold of what really matters
When you tell me
To take photographs
To remember what it's like to feel so young
You know that I can't help
But laugh because I'll never forget
Those memories I have of you
And when I wake up from this sweat-soaked fever dream
I know you'll still be next to me
And the alarm clock that's screaming
We'll curse it together
Another day starts in each other's arms
Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah
And every day just feels like youth in decay
The clock moves without you
And everything just feels like it's slipping away
Right through our fingers
Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah
Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah

I cut you out like a cancer
I turned the page like a really good book
If you're looking for answers
step in front of a mirror
and take a look
You dropped the ball like it hurt you
Did I do something wrong?
Is this a question of ego?
Or were we never friends at all?
We used to say we had to get out of this place
And if we drove over that bridge again
We might as well drive off
We used to say that we could conquer anything
And I thought things were going great until you went the other way
You were gone
It's a weight off my shoulders
One I didn't know was there
But this feeling of emptiness is really hard to compare
You were always all in, or not feeling it at all
Thought you were hard to read, but the writing was on the wall
We used to say we had to get out of this place
And if we drove over that bridge again
We might as well drive off
We used to say that we could conquer anything
And I thought things were going great until you went the other way
You were gone
Oh, I feel used and I feel cheap
Did friendship not mean anything
Took all that you could from me
Then you took your chance to leave
I feel used and I feel cheap
Did friendship not mean anything
Took all that you could from me
Then you took your chance to leave
We used to say we had to get out of this place
And if we drove over that bridge again
We might as well drive off
We used to say that we could conquer anything
And I thought things were going great until you went the other way
You were gone
You were gone
You were gone
You were gone
You were gone

Like a young girl puffing on a cigarette, not knowing what her beauty means
Like the feeling that you can do anything that's been replaced by a faded dream
Like the times when things don't go your way so you wait until another day
Till one day all the days have gone by and you're left screaming why oh why
You can pretend like it don't mean that much but inside it'll eat you up
Oh, there's no sense in acting tough you're just getting older and everything is fucked
Well the time goes past and the seasons change and the ending just feels so strange
When you're all alone and they're all gone and you wonder if they were there at all
And they'll tell you that it's life I guess and good times only make a mess
It'll go by way too fast, you're gonna break your heart before you catch your breath
And I know when people come and go
Oh, it'll chew you up and it'll spit you out till you just can't take no more
And you'll say, hey
I don't wanna live like this
My heart's on fire I feel like shit
Wont someone come cut me down from the tangled web we weave
And all these fleeting moments, places, faces, names I can't erase them
I carry them around Just like a black hole inside me
A black hole inside me A black hole inside me
Alright, buddy heads out there in Buddyland
Please, grab a buddy friend and repeat after me
My heart hurts, my head hurts I'm getting tired gettin' worse
My heart hurts, my head hurts I'm getting tired gettin' worse
My heart hurts, my head hurts I'm getting tired gettin' worse
My heart hurts, my head hurts I'm getting tired gettin' worse
My heart hurts, my head hurts
I'm getting tired
I'm getting worse
I don't wanna live like this
My heart's on fire I feel like shit
Wont someone come cut me down from the tangled web we weave
And all these fleeting moments, places, faces, names I can't erase them
I carry them around Just like a black hole inside me
A black hole inside me A black hole inside me
I don't wanna live like this
My heart's on fire I feel like shit
Wont someone come cut me down from the tangled web we weave
And all these fleeting moments, places, faces, names I can't erase them
I carry them around Just like a black hole inside me
A black hole inside me A black hole inside me

Ghosts

I've been getting freaked out, I've been getting scared
I keep thinking someone that I love is dead
I can't escape these feelings
There's water dripping from the ceiling
From the roof up above and they can't seem to fix it
I don't know about these holes, they can't seem to fix them
I know I got problems that I can't seem to fix
So won't you hold me tight
It used to be afraid of the dark
Then I got unafraid of death
I walked right into the corner of my basement
Where I'd get those chills all over my body
And I said, you can take me away from here
What's the worst that can happen
The worst that can happen
Life goes on without you and I can't be scared no more
Woah, woah, woah
Everybody's screaming
And I keep having these same damn dreams
If this is all a daydream
What's the worst that can happen
The worst that can happen
What's the worst that can happen
The worst that can happen
What's the worst that can happen
Worst that can happen
The worst that can happen
Is that you die
What's the worst that can happen
The worst that can happen
What's the worst that can happen
The worst that can happen
What's the worst that can happen
Worst that can happen
The worst that can happen
Is that you die
It cost 666 to fill up my gas
I got followed by a hearse that wasn't there
To a cemetery I didn't know it existed
But when I turned around it disappeared
Now I've been running through dark hallways by myself
And I can't escape these thoughts when I'm by myself
I've been too busy to even ask for help
Cause I've been running through dark hallways by myself
Woah, woah, woah
Everybody's screaming
And I keep having these same daydreams
If this is all a daydream
What does that mean for me
What does that mean for me
What does that mean for me
What does that mean for me
What does that mean for me

High Highs Low Lows
02:37
|
|||
|
Caught in a sea of plastic bottles and old fishing nets
Lying on the beach just watching the waves rolling
I've remember being young, my first puff of a cigarette
I was coughing out a lung and wondering when I'd be dead
I pass junkies on the streets, I step right over them
But I love the place I live, there's nothing quite like it
I look at pictures and I think about all of my friends
Phone's right there but I'm too scared to say hello to them
It's just something that I deal with every day
All these feelings that won't just go away
Excessive happiness, an overwhelming dread
High highs and low lows, it's all inside my head
When the freezing rain hits my face, I think of happy days
When the sun comes up, I think of all the times that I felt pain
Pushed in every direction, now I don't know where to go
I'm stuck living with these high highs
And low lows
It's just something that I deal with every day
All these feelings that won't just go away
Excessive happiness, an overwhelming dread
High highs and low lows, they're all inside my head
Peaks and valleys, streets and alleys, on this rollercoaster I go
Up and down and all around, there's only one thing that I know
Whenever these feelings take hold, other ones take their place
Choose their sides, and draw their guns for the war inside my brain

Alien Boy
04:28
|

|
At night when I'm alone, I sit around and think about the kind of person that I've become
And I'm numb, and I'm uncomfortable, sometimes I wonder if I'm not a person after all
Maybe I'm a little alien boy that got separated from his kind
Oh I know that it's a cliché story, but it might explain why, oh why, oh why
I feel like an alien sometimes. I feel like an alien that got me backed up against a fucking wall
Is it them, or is it me? I don't know. I feel like an alien sometimes
I feel like an alien that got me backed up against a fucking wall
Is it them, or is it me? I don't know
I live in this society for only a couple reluctant hours every week
And I feel the defeat. I sink into my shell. Am I hiding in my human skin, or is this hell
So if you're listening up there, just know you left your boy down here
I've done a pretty good job, but I think it's time for me to go back home
I feel like an alien sometimes. I feel like an alien that got me backed up against a fucking wall
Is it them, or is it me? I don't know. I feel like an alien sometimes
I feel like an alien that got me backed up against a fucking wall
Is it them, or is it me? I don't know
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-321
One day when my ship takes off I'm gonna tell my boss that I quit my fucking job, oh yeah
One day when my ship takes off I'll have to tell my mom that I'm gone, but I'm gone, oh yeah
One day when my ship takes off I'll have to tell you all that I had to heed the call, oh yeah
One day when my ship takes off I'm gonna kiss your pretty face and blast off into space forever

Dream Nice Things
04:25

|
One, two, three, four
I love you and I promise that I will, till the day I die
And even though that may be soon
I'll do my best to hang on
Because your smiling face is the light in my darkness
I don't care if you set fire to my forest
I'd let it burn - just to keep you warm from the flames
Cause this world is a cold and lonely place - but not when I'm with you
I don't want an escape from reality
I don't care as long as you're with me
but last night when I closed my eyes and went to sleep
I dreamt I got hit by a bus
Dreamt I got hit by a train
I dreamt that my plane crashed and I went down in flames
I just want to dream nice things - just for a change
Like you and I getting in a car and driving far away
I need you, more than I've ever needed any goddamn thing in my life
And I need it a lot, just to cope with this pain
The kind that tortures and burns from the inside
You're the air I breathe, you're keeping me alive
I inhale
The sweet scent of you fills me with joy and a sense of relief
It's the best I've felt all day
When all is lost and things go wrong
You're the hand I'm holding on
All I wanted were some peaceful hours before the dawn, but instead last night
I dreamt I got hit by a bus
Dreamt I got hit by a train
I dreamt that my plane crashed and I went down in flames
I just want to dream nice things - just for a change
like you and I getting in a car and driving far away
I dreamt I got hit by a bus
Dreamt I got hit by a train
I dreamt that my plane crashed and I went down in flames
I just want to dream nice things - just for a change
Like you and I getting in a car and driving far away
I dreamt I got hit by a bus
Dreamt I got hit by a train
I dreamt that my plane crashed and I went down in flames
I just want to dream nice things - just for a change
Like you and I getting in a car and driving far away

Pufferfish Light

Watchin' your face glow blue under a pufferfish light
I think the stars shine just for you on this wonderful night
Because the day was bad, I wish I was dead at least a dozen times
But it's okay when you're nothing but smiles under a pufferfish light
Well it's Friday night and I've had a hell of a week I've thought about
Givin' up so many times it feels like I've already
Givin' up, I'm givin' up on this shit I am givin' up on it
Givin' up, I'm givin' up on this shit I am givin' up on it
But then how could I ever afford these drinks that this bar can barely pay for
Or these cigarettes I should have quit years ago
Back when I was happy, back when I was happy
Do you think I'll ever be happy again
Back when I was happy, back when I was happy
Do you think I'll ever be happier than this
Watchin' your face glow blue under a pufferfish light
I think the stars shine just for you on this wonderful night
Because the day was bad, I wish I was dead at least a million times
But it's okay when you're nothing but smiles under a pufferfish light
I'll do my best to never forget that momentary happiness
A memory from that night, your face glowing under the light
Under the light, a pufferfish light
A pufferfish light
Under the light, a pufferfish light
A pufferfish light
A pufferfish light
A pufferfish light
A pufferfish light
Woo!
Pufferfish light
Pufferfish light

I Lost My Voice
03:02

Everyone I love is struggling with sickness
Even before this plague came
Now the shit is just ridiculous
And I can't help but think that people wanna fight me
Like I've done something wrong
Like this is all my fault
Oh no, this is all my
Am I insane or is everybody acting weird to me
Did we forget how to talk or just our honesty
When the ones you love are always sad and miserable
Feels like you've done something wrong
Like this is all your fault
Oh no, this is all your
We're all barely hanging on
Tired eyes give way to a wrinkled face
And we're left counting our mistakes
I lost my voice from screaming too loud
Lost voices screaming to the night
Hoping to be heard this time
Now I'm not sure
What did I expect
But I looked both ways on a one-way street
And somehow I got hit
Ha Ha Ha
But just to see your smile I'd try and try again
At least then I can look at you and say
This is not my fault
We're all barely hanging on
Tired eyes give way to a wrinkled face
And we're left counting our mistakes
I lost my voice from screaming too loud
Lost voices screaming to the night
Hoping to be heard this time
Oh no, this is not my
This is not my fault
This is not my
This is not my
This is not my fault
This is not my
This is not my
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
This is not my

We've all got so much stacked up on our plates
More and more shit like every single day
Trapped in by these four walls we have to plan our escape
We left the door open and the dog ran away
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
Never was much good at knowing where you belong
Try anything once till you try them all
Shoot yourself in the foot, I've seen this all before
But the words wouldn't leave my mouth till you were out that door
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
You can run far away from your problems but you can't
I wish you happiness in misery
I hope it's everything you wanted to be
Just know that I will always be your friend
And I'll be waiting when you come back home again
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
You can run far away from your problems but you can't run away from yourself
You can run, you can run, you can run, you can't run

Without You
04:31
|

Put on something I've heard a thousand times before
Don't wanna think about the words because I can't think much more
It's such a long drive home and a long way from you
I'm so goddamn tired but what else can I do
The snow falls hard, this road has no lights
I'm getting scared that I won't make it home tonight
What the fuck is happening? Can anybody tell me how did I get here
Stuck upon this bridge, wondering if I'd run out of gas and freeze to death in my car
Will you know that I was thinking of
You, thinking of you
Just know if I don't come home tonight that I was thinking of you, thinking of you
Hoping when you turn out the lights that you'll know that I was thinking of you
I'm white knuckled on this steering wheel as I slide across the road
I'm losing my hope as I lose all control
Wondering what I ever did to deserve to be in this place
Bad luck or just fate that's keeping me from
You, keeping me from you
Every bad thing in my life it seems is keeping me from you
keeping me from you
Hoping this isn't the night that keeps me from you
I'm so scared, I'm so alone
I'm so scared, I'm so alone
I'm so scared, I'm so alone
I'm so scared, I'm so alone
I'm so scared, I'm so alone
I'm so scared, I'm so alone
Without you, without you, without you
Without you, without you, without you
Without you, without you, without you
Without you, without you, without you
