Smile through the pain
It's okay
I'm okay
You don't need to know
Tears building up in my brain
Forehead about to burst
My eyes hurt.
I cry.
The salty seas swell in my mouth
The tide taunting my tastebuds
Tensing my muscles
My shaky hands
Can't stop the first raindrop
And so it rains
Thunder shrieking through the night
I cry.
Hot water burns my skin
Distorting my flesh
It stains me.
Wipe it away
It won't go away
Body convulsing
Can't control it
I cry.
I've forgotten words
I have no use for them
No language can say
What I feel
Only raw sounds
From deep inside my throat
Where it tightens and gropes
In hope, to express what I can't with words
In hope, that my cries will be heard
I cry.
I'm no longer human
A ghost of myself
I can't function through this pain
It's insane
To think
I could cover it up
Hide it in my heart
Until
Until I start
I had to
I cry.

I am naked, naked
In the face of the absurd
N-No just say the word
And I am naked.
I am exposed
Oh where are my clothes?
To protect me from
What?
I don't know!
From the unknown
Anonymous
I got a letter signed
Anonymous
Who is anonymous?
I don't know.
The letter says: "I have your clothes. I know what you don't know. I've faced worse than absurd, in the unknown."
Why oh why have my clothes left me here
in nothing but my shoes?
Strolling, pacing
Keep it movin' til
It doesn't seem so new.

So we run run run to the end of the world
and jump the gun gun gun before the chaos unfurls
and while panics at high
we take to the sky
implicating all but us
leaving the world in dust
but to this day i look back and i say...
chorus:
how did we not see this coming
it was an unexpected alarm
this affected everybody
we didn't mean nobody harm
i remember our reactions then
we put the blame on another friend
and now we'll never hear the end
the end, the end until we're gone
to this day i swear it was accidental
but in the back of our minds we remember
that rush our adrenaline gave us and
wish it had been real
and wish we could feel how intensified
our reactions would have been
if only to this day we look back and we say....
chorus:
(followed by some sort of piano solo/breakdown)
Chorus 2X
(first time normal)
(second time with both set of lyrics)
at the same time of the chorus:
we noticed when we left the scene
everyone else turned to me
trying to say that i did everything
almost as if we tried to be
innocent kids with honesty
but they still tried to convict me------

My body sinks into the depths of the ocean
Shrinking, drying up into a fossil in the fetal position
(With the dark deep blue as my blanket) x3
I walk by mirrors in a fun house
that magnify my defects
(and reflect all the whispered judgments of the crowd) x3
(The whispers, the echoes, the shadows
They made me do it) x2
Uncomfortable sitting still in prison
with the guard’s piercing eyes accusing me of murder
and wishing I’d give in and wilt away
Like the rest of my inmates
(The whispers, echoes, and shadows
They made me do it) x2
I do it because it makes me feel happy
As if the whole world is happy because I am.
Obey the whispering secrets that promise and
Guarantee my bliss and sanity.
Guarantee my bliss and sanity.

There's a leak in my brain
So my mom called the handyman
But he couldn't make it stop.
There's a fire in my brain
So my mom called the fireman
But he couldn't put it out.
So,
Finally my mom called the doctor
The doctor said I have a fever and that
I've been sick for years and I have one night to live.
And,
Finally the leak stopped leaking
the fire stopped burning
and i stopped...breathing...
So my mom called the lifeguard but he said, "Heimlich won't work this time. It's too late."
It's too late.

Akward.
There’s that akward stage
It’s all the rage
It’s not meant to stay
And leave us astray
Making strings fray
And fading slowy away
Akward is here.
I promise, humans are near.

Blue Eyes
I wish I had blue eyes
Blue covers the whole sky
Mesmerizing me
I don’t know why
Hypnotizing me
I love you
Blue Eyes
Blue covers more than dirt
Every kid’s favorite color
You are my shirt
Blue brights, my delight
Blue stained the oceans
Forever maintained my pool
And those blue flowers are so rare to find
I want one to be mine
My eyes should be green
Cause my jealously
So hard to defeat
Green eyed monster wearing blue jeans
I wish I had blue eyes
Blue covers the whole sky
Mesmerizing me
I don’t know why
Hypnotizing me
I love you Blue Eyes
Enticing me
I don’t know why
Inviting me
I love you Blue eyes
Blue Eyes

He Would
I think he would, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I talk to you
Trust in you
Tell you
Ssh
I’ll hunt you down
Shoot you to the ground, shoot you to the ground
I think he would
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I think he would
I think he would
He would
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I think he would, he should he could, he would
“He did it He did it”
I’ll hunt you down
Shoot you to the ground, shoot you to the ground
“No one will hear” a tree fall
If no one is around
But everyone heard
As it fell to the ground
I think he would, yeah yeah, yeah yeah (claps)
Ooos
I’ll hunt you down
Shoot you to the ground
Shoot you to the ground
“No one will hear” me fall
If no one is around
But everyone heard me fall
As I fell to the ground
Ooo (I think he)
I think he would.

I Can’t See Light
A living fear
That draws near
Everytime you lean
Into shadows
And I dream
Nightmares
It’s not fair
I can’t see light
In the dark
Where you are
Because I’m scarred
My flashlight won’t turn on
And I fear that you’ve gone too far
And left me all alone in the dark
Please, Please, Please don’t go too far
Please don’t leave me alone and light my fear
In the dark where I know you are

I just wanna tear my eyes out
Cuz I don't understand words anymore
Not from a girls mouth
I don't have a girls mouth
I'm not like every girl
I just wanna tear my eyes out
Cuz I don't understand girls anymore
All they want is just
They want more, more, more loving from a boy who sees them as nothing but a whore x2
And the girls say
Yeah all the girls they say
"I am more, more, more than what you think I am. I am more, more, more than just a whore to my man."
I just wanna tear my eyes out
Cuz I don't understand words anymore
Not from a boys mouth
I don't have a girls mouth but I'm not a boy and
I just wanna tear my eyes out
Cuz I don't understand boys anymore
All they want is just
They want more, more, more loving from a girl who sees them as nothing but a whore x2
And the boys say
Yeah all the boys they say
"I am more, more, more than you what you think I am. I am more, more, more I will always be her man."
Though we all deny it, try to hide it, pretend we understand
No one knows the truth cuz our mouths could never move under the sand.
Ostrich hides her head at the beach
That's me...
I don't wanna see!
Though we need each other I can tell my mother doesn't believe me...
I just wanna tear my eyes out
They're not worth the trouble anymore
What I can't see can't hurt me
I don't want no more, more, lovin from a boy who sees me as nothing but a whore.
They don't want no more, more lovin from a boy who sees them as nothing but a whore.
They don't want no more, more, lovin from a girl who sees them as nothing but a whore.
They don't want no more, more lovin from a girl who sees them as nothing but a whore...

I know I can't have it
Twisted tongue leaves my talk tangled
Can't come out
I'll say it.
Say it to your face
Wishful waiting
Hope is my date
Wait is it good is it gold
All these desires
Build to the fire
Left untold
Keep me waiting
Wishful waiting
Wait
Clearly I'm a walking corpse
This course is ending, unwinding
Knots inside my brain
Keep me from thinking straight
Not worthy of my dreams
Clouding my memories
I know I don't need it
I'll kill the butterflies that
once ate my insides
Accepting reality has
freed my waiting.
