Nailed to the Ground

My hands are pressed into the mud
And from the holes is leaking blood,
Fill your mouth with what you take
The puddles start to form a lake
And I still think how it would be
If it was you instead of me
Who had the chance to start again
Benefit from the death of a friend
Painted leaves the sky will break
Held in place by a stake
And I can't move from where I am
Benefit from the death of a friend
And I...
Over and over and over and over again
Fill your mouth with my blood,
I didn't think I ever could
But in the summer on that day
A part of me just went away
I tried to pick up what I found
But it was nailed to the ground
Over and over and over and over again
And I still think how it would be
If it was you instead of me
Who had the chance to start again
Benefit from the death of a friend
Painted leaves the sky will break
Held in place by a stake
And I can't move from where I am
Benefit from the death of a friend
And I...
Over and over and over and over again
Wrap my eyes with the cloth
I put the glass into my mouth
The August light shines through the trees
A part of me wants to believe
When Martian sands become unbound
I've been nailed to the ground
I'm nailed to the ground
September regrets and there's nothing I can do or say to make it go away
And I...
I tried to pick up what I found
But it was nailed to the ground
I've been nailed to the ground
My hands are pressed into the mud
And from the holes is leaking blood,
Fill your mouth with what you take
The puddles start to form a lake

Glassy eyed narcotic gaze
Reuniting with a piece of me
That never left and never changed
Blur my vision from what I became
I can't let go, I am alone
I'm standing on a bridge
I have no control, but I control everything
In my dreams,I'm standing there
Eyes wide open, but I don't care
Holding on
Blind to all that isn't me
Break every promise that I make
Flowers running through my veins
Take a breath
I feel no pain
I can't let go, I am alone
I'm standing on a bridge
I have no control, but I control everythingaa

I want the wind to cut me up
I want the wind to cut me up
Rain blood down on me, enough to fill my cup
Forever lying in the bed that I have made
Ten years and I'm still crying
I think about you everyday,
Realized I've always been this way
Slipped in the trail of my own blood
Do I even care enough or did I ever care at all?
Blessed with the gift to see the cliff
But I'm still running off
I want the wind to cut me up, the sun to warm my skin
I finally realized that it's my blood I've been slipping in

A light is passing through my body, I can't escape it's grasp
And in the morning will you regret everything you've done
There's a ringing in my head that hasn't stopped for months
And my skins leaking, everything starts to taste like ash
Radiation, I've been waiting, choking on my swollen tounge
Pierce the skin, sinking in, holding everyone
So take me back behind the shed,
And put you gun up to my head,
You've only showed me love before,
So I don't think I'll know
The weight it heavy in my chest, crushed by its own gravity
Nothing makes it, no lights escapes at all
There's a sickness in the air
and no one seems to know it's there
But in the darkness while I sleep
I hear it calling out to me
So hold your breath and count to ten
Forgot my name and where we've been
And while you're falling back asleep
I float across the floor
Beneath the house is where we lurk
Below trees with rocks and dirt
Poking holes in all your dreams
The ship is sinking
The smoke killed us before the fire
And all the things that will transpire
Infecting everything we do
There's no escaping
So take me back behind the shed,
And put you gun up to my head,
You've only showed me love before,
So I don't think I'll know

Weightless

My feet feel weightless
Coming off of the ground
A warmth inside arises from potions made of plants and bind
Grey skies meet the treeline
Above my car
I thought I would be happy now
But a years gone by and I'm in line
I'll sink through the pavement
You can watch me drown
Encased inside forever
Eyes wide open looking up
I started the hourglass running but who can stop it now?
I'm seeing everything I've ever been and it's not a good sight
The things that we do just to make it through the night
There's a ghost in the windshield
And it knows my name
I thought about running but I don't think I'll fight today
My feet feel weightless
Coming off of the ground
I think that I died
Somewhere in 2009
My feet feel weightless
With a rope sliding down
My feet feel weightless
Coming off of the ground
My feet feel weightless
I'll twist into braids
There's a mountain of concrete
Standing in my way
Let's make a tower out of all my broken bones
We'll pierce the sky and climb on up and lay before the throne
And ask him why it hurts so much

Falling
06:34

I'm not far away from where I started
A light fills the space in a mirror I'm breaking
And you need me today but my stomach's aching
When the ground starts to cave will you be waiting?
Falling down the stairs,
Over and over I'll prove your fears
Doomed to repeat all of my past failings
The look on your face when you saw me shaking
A cigarette in your bedroom waiting
Falling down the stairs,
Over and over I'll prove your fears
Etched in my brain,
All the things I can't escape

Faker

Broken glass is in the air,
Run my fingers through your hair
I'm always covered up in grass
And I've been waiting
And I've been letting go of everything
And I wanted you to know it,
Just not today
Goodnight, the power's out, the lights are dark, the fuse is blown, I think that I am starting to get a funny feeling that they're waiting behind the door that I unlocked, I'm tailing your car along the highway and you're looking back through foggy mirrors
And in the dark, I think we're safest
Hide everything we are under a blanket
Would you let me know if you've been faking
Throw everything I care about away
Good luck, when I crash into the windshield I wonder if I give a fuck, I'm floating and as I turn I see you lights are fading from my view as I kiss the pavement, I thought that I could make it, but every time I'm drinking I can barely see straight
And in the dark, I think we're safest
Hide everything we are under a blanket
Would you let me know if you've been faking
Throw everything I care about away
If time is what they think, than what's the point of dreaming?
And if I am asleep than I don't think I'm leaving
Because it goes on and on and on and on
Nothing's ever ending
And If I can't awake and run away than what's the point of breathing?

Sounds Through a Wall

Sunset, write my name on concrete
Broken, sew my arms together
Hangman, extrajudicial killing
Pacing wait...
Waiting for my turn
Hating everything
Blanking on your name
Somethings never change
And I've been waiting by the phone
But I always miss the call
You can tell me when I'm wrong
I promise I can take it
I think I lost you in the haze
Empty bottles waste my days
But when I hear you through the wall
I think I missed it all
Dreaming, hold my breath forever
Floating down the drain
Broken, glue you back together
Drift into space
And I've been waiting by the phone
But I always miss the call
You can tell me when I'm wrong
I promise I can take it
I think I lost you in the haze
Empty bottles waste my days
But when I hear you through the wall
I think I missed it all
Sunset, write my name on concrete
Broken, sew my arms together
Hangman, extrajudicial killing
Pacing, wait...
So tell me what you think,
Because we've been staring at a wall
You can promise everything
Or none at all
You take what you have to learn
But I always miss the call
And I've been sleeping on the lawn,
For far too long
Sunset, write my name on concrete
Broken, sew my arms together
Hangman, extrajudicial killing
Pacing, wait...

Bless the day because I love you and all, but every night it always starts to change, I have learned how to brace for the fall and you can't to take that away
Throw me into a hole in the ground, cover it up with a stone
Sealed in wax to I can't escape or tie me up and burn me at the stake
Bless the day because I love you and all, but every night it always ends the same, I have learned how to brace for the fall and you can't to take that away
What's it like in the hear to the sun? Nuclear fusion is all the rage, I'd set fire to everything we love, I've got a match if you've got gasoline
Miss the day because I love you and all, but every night it always was the same, I have learned how to brace for the fall and you can't to take that away
Do you know if I wasted it all? Your gun is pointed right into my face, falling down into telephone wire, crash my car and launch me into space, I'm on a bridge and I'd jump if I could but I don't have the courage left to change
Curse the day, did I love you at all? Knowing me is always a mistake, realized I'm in love with the fall, I start to think my life has been a waste, running out of things I can change when all the good in me has been erased
Hope that I'm not too late
I want to be awake
