I try to trace you with my eyes
My hands pressed against your sides
One on one
Just for fun
Nothing more
On the floor
We were in your make shift kitchen
The lights were dim
Our bodies pressed
My shaky breath
The tiny death
Across your chest
And Jules is already the sun
So you can be my stars
My meteor my mars

Pull the car over
It's starting to rain
The smell of creosote
Is enchanting my brain
Amber lights
Soften your skin
I put my head down
As you pull me in
And we're slow dancing on the side of the street
And we're slow dancing on the side of the street
Just you and me
Step out to the head lights
Now dim from the fog
The radio plays
An unfamiliar song
Air intoxicates
Emotions take hold
My hand in your hand
As my heart explodes
And we're slow dancing on the side of the street
And we're slow dancing on the side of the street
Just you and me
I look in your eyes and I see the stars
You are my mars
My meteorite
I get jealous of the city lights
The birds that are high in flight
What they get to see every night
And we're slow dancing on the side of the street
And we're slow dancing on the side of the street
And we're slow dancing on the side of the street
And we're slow dancing on the side of the street
Just you and me

The sun looks blinding
From up here
I can't even see your eyes
Your silhouette in light
There's an etch
That's cut into my chest
That's from my bleeding heart
It makes a tally mark
And passion will be the death of us
My honey darling sweetest
Passion will be the death of us
I hope you do not hear this
Passion will be the death of us
So breath
Breath while you can
Hearts thrown from hand
Severed from the sleeve
Decomposing in the street
I pray the earth to eat
And swallow me whole
And embrace my soul
And passion will be the death of us
My honey darling sweetest
Passion will be the death of us
How can you not see this
Passion will be the death of us

Personally
This ain't where I want to be
There's cracks on the ceiling
There's blood on the sheets
They board up the windows
They lock up the doors
They take what they need to
Pass out on the floor
Wake up all tired
Nervous and weird
Dark in the eyes
Having no fear
Welcome to the den
Covered in webs
Choose your venom
Surrounded by friends
The more you try
The harder it is to escape
So enjoy the fact
You've found a place
It's not a way to live
It is a way to die
They say I'm looking skinny
Smile wide

Are we gonna be all right
Please tell me that we'll be alright
Are we gonna be alright
Please tell me that we'll be all right

I step into the doorway
Bathed in black light
To hide the ugly feelings
To keep them from our sight
And I get all these smiles
That don't even reach their eyes
Ground control to major tom
I don't think we'll be alright
Well Jules drank the poison
So this could be yours
I just don't see the fun
In waking up on the floor
I tell you to slow down
You tell me to fuck off
You put down another
And then you run off
But before i hear you mutter
About how controlling i am
Major tom to ground control
This wasn't the plan
Well Jules drank the poison
So this could be yours
I just don't see the fun
And you call me a bore
I finally catch up to you
You're in someone else's arms
You crack a slight smile
And tell me there's no harm
I ask you what this is all about
And you tell me a lie
Ground control to major tom
Your vitals have just died
Well Jules drank the poison
So I guess that this is yours
I just stare on as time
Passes through my corpse
And since nothing matters
And there's no end in sight
What's a smoke
What's a drink
What's a lie

I guess you enjoy watching the whole world burn around me
The sun consumed all that I could see
So call me an icarus call me a fool
'Cause the worst thing I did was trusting you
And I don't think I'll see you again
Going through a tight turn
Feel that rubber burn
White knuckle ten and two
Ground up against my shoe
I don't think I'll see you again
Never want to see you
Never want to see you
Never want to see you
Never want to see you
I don't think I'll see you again
I don't think I'll see you again
I want to destroy everything around me
I want to leave my body
And the radios playing a familiar song
Remember when we danced along
And I don't think I'll see you again
Going through a tight turn
Feel that rubber burn
White knuckle ten and two
Ground up against my shoe
I don't think I'll see you again
Never want to see you
Never want to see you
Never want to see you
Never want to see you I don't think I'll see you again
I don't think I'll see you again

Lie there shaking in the street
Make sure my heart still has a beat
Sounds like a drum that's out of tune
Pulsing from all of these new wounds
The asphalt is colder than expected
Look around make sure no ones effected
There's blood where your lips used to be
We used to dance on this same street
When I drift off I hope I dream of you
When I drift off I always think of you
I like to think of you on a beach
Or at least somewhere where it's warm
Cold weather never fit you
You're in someone else's arms
You look absolutely holy
With your back up to the sun
How 'bout you give me a penance
For all these things I've done
When I drift off I hope I think of you
When I drift off I always dream of you
Huge beasts hunker by
Too busy to even realize
I always joked about not getting old
God I don't think I've ever felt this cold
Metal is bent around the frame
Know that you weren't the one to blame
I hope you're sitting when you get the call
It's not your fault at all

I'm Free

Who cares if we stay up late anyways
We can always just sleep through the days
And slowly laugh
As our time just drifts away
Then you wake up 80
What happened to not growing old
Then a chilling breath
And death is normally cold
Shower so it feels like you've done something in the day
Lie to yourself saying that today is when you change
You can only make so many
Lists that you'll burn
Then you'll need the heat
For when it's eventually your turn
Static is slowly absorbing all I am
I can't even feel
I'm not even sad
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free

Meteor

Two meteors
That were always bound to collide
Inevitable and incredible
But when it's done my earth destroyed
I wish that I could hate you
But I know I don't
And I still get stuck on yesterdays
Like your eyes through a moonlit haze
I tell my self it's an after thought
It's not like it comes up a lot
But it does
I wish that I could hate you
But I know I don't
So I trade my soul for a pack of 12
I think I'd feel better if I walked around
And all of my chest it burns
The demons all want their turn
I wish that I could hate you
But I know I don't
But my wants outweigh my morality
While defending your mortality
I mean this with sincerity
But I honestly really hope your happy with out me there
I wish that I could hate you
But I know I don't

Smoke

You smell like smoke and you look like a bad idea
My head hurts from moving
And I really don't want to be a
Bore anymore so I do beg your pardon
But I think that you might just be the answer to my problems
She said I'd like to get out of here if you please please please please
And when we got out side her hair just started playing with the breeze
And I tripped over my words as I tried to get them out
And it came out as a whisper when I should have just shout
And the moons monochrome musings were really quite amusing
Why does this shit matter if I feel empty anyways
It's like trying to fill a hole that just gets deeper everyday
God let me feel something
God let me feel something
God let me feel something

We all just wanna feel something
It really shouldn't be that much to ask for
I'm tired of going to bed thinking tomorrow's a better day
Just for it to be exactly like the last one
I need to know what just happened
What will be the repercussions of these actions
Am I lying when I say that things are getting better
'Cause it seems like I'm in cycle that's gonna repeat for ever
And I just wanna feel something
We all just wanna feel something
I just wanna feel something
I just want to
I was to emotional when she was to emotionless
She was my summers day when I was just a mess
I waited for fall for her to disappear
As the cold cold air well it finally drew near
It was winter as I watched the air suspended all my breath
And it took until spring to stop thinking about death
And I stayed up one night just to watch the sunrise
and it reminded me of when it used to flood out of your eyes
And I just wanna feel something
We all just wanna feel something
I just wanna feel something
I just want to
I just wanna feel something
We all wanna feel something
I just wanna feel something
I just want to
Do what you can to hold what's been gone for forever
But don't get stuck on the nostalgic endeavor
And yea I still get stuck on yesterdays but yesterdays are gone
And at some point in life I'm gonna have to learn to move on
Remember when I said that it's people like you who make life worth living
Well I guess that people like that should also be forgiven
I can swim in the idea of faded happiness til I drown
But if my best days are behind me put me in the ground right now
(I just want to feel something)
(God let me feel something)
(I wish that I could hate you)
(Jules is already the)
(Slow dancing)
(And I)
(The sun)
(It's not a way to live it is a way to die)
(Are we gonna be alright)
(Ground control to Major Tom your vitals have just died)
(I don't think I'll see you again)
(When I drift off I hope I dream of you)
(Free)
(I just want to feel something)
(God let me feel something)
(I wish that I could hate you)
(I just want to feel something)
(God let me feel something)

And if you gave me the choice I guess I'd want you to be happy
I'm saying it with my voice I really want you to be happy
And if that's with out me
As long as your happy
I walked through the gates of hell
And came out the other side
I didn't turn my back
Until I saw the light
I was so scared of that fire
but I had my little liar
I went to the street you were on my mind
Stars and mars you were on my mind
I looked at the sun and I started to cry
'Cause I saw your eyes
I stopped waiting for things to get better and started working on myself
It isn't really that much but now I can look at the sun and smile
So the sun looks blinding from up here
There are still some days that I'd wish it'd disappear
But it's bleaching all the spots
That we'd wish that we'd forgot
And we'll forget
And if you gave me the choice I'd guess I'd want you too be happy
I'm saying it with my voice I really want you to be happy
And if that's with out me
As long as your happy
