Mars 01:08
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

Sun pt. 3 02:40
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 02:06
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 01:53
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
12.
Smoke 01:54
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
