Say Hello
03:06

|||
Someone's throwing stones at my window.
I know that face but I can't recall their name.
As I climb down my roof I slip and fall.
Sometimes I feel that I feel nothing at all.
say hello.
Well my best friend has never been much of a friend.
I feel like he walks through every door that I open.
His smile is a disappointing reflection of who he used to be.
His feet are inside my shoes, and I think he's finally getting to me.
say hello.
Well i've got a girl whose looks could really kill.
But I think my heart may be too empty to fill.
I feel like such a disapointment to her.
I'm a lover and she's just another girl.
say hello.
Misery you're killing me.
Tell me why I can't be happy.
Nothing lasts why bother try?
Everything sucks and then you die.
I'll never hear another sound.
As I live my life underground.
I'll never know what you wanted to say.
You never wouldve said it anyway.
It's all the same.

Out Of Step

Summers over, leaves are falling all around
The city's colder, my bones are sinking to the ground.
We're three feet below now, I just can't dig myself out.
You're so different now, tell me what you're really all about.
Why, don't bother. Just take this one step at a time.
So you can find a reason to sleep at night.
Why, don't even try, just take it once and make up your mind.
War is over, we sleep inside eachothers dreams.
We're getting older, closer and closer to the gun.
Will we ever take a break from work and play.
You do what you want now, but tell me what you're trying to say.
Why, don't bother. Just take this one step at a time.
So you can find a reason to sleep at night.
Why, don't even try, just take it once and make up your mind.
you said you said over and over again.
you promised but you lied, you promised but this died.
dead to me and I'm dead to you, through the disguise you're looking through. you're so pathetic but what I would do just to touch you one last time, is that a crime, one last time.
Why, don't bother. Just take this one step at a time.
So you can find a reason to sleep at night.
Why, don't even try, just take it once and make up your mind.

I can't tell you how many times I stood up for you.
I can't tell you how many times I was there for you.
And your dad came in with his gun and pointed it at your mother, and I was your brother that night.
Who will I walk with this winter in the blistering cold?
Who will I say goodnight to besides myself, I don't have nobody else.
Why is everything changing it's freezing away my life.
Why is everything changing you're taking away my life.
If you ever want to come home I'll open the door.
But it's that last door I'll ever open, for you.
Just come on home, back to me.

last sunday was the day, that we changed the world.
you can only say no so many times before you let go.
thank god we have eachother. but do we have eachother?
I think there's so much more to this, I think there's so much more to this.
best friends this will never end, I keep telling myself but I cannot pretend that we don't have something here. best friends twisted at the ends, I can try to hide but I cannot defend, myself from you.
last sunday was the day that we sold the world.
you don't have to say yes, just don't ask for less, ask for more. thank god we're so familiar, but are we really familiar? you can't tell me it isn't right it's black and white, I think it's grey, it's great.
best friends this will never end, I keep telling myself but I cannot pretend that we don't have something here. best friends twisted at the ends, I can try to hide but I must defend myself from you.

Consider This.

consider this, me putting myself out for you, something I don't quite often do, but it's me you're looking through. I'm sick of this, all these nonchalant misplacements. I think my heads going slow, I think I'm about to explode, I think that I'm gonna go, I think I've already said to much, I think I'm crazy for you baby.
well my eyes never felt so shallow, I don't even know why you bother with me. I don't understand why you lie and you bitch and you lie to everyone but me. well I guess I'm not so special, not good enough or not quite as handsome as whoever was me before me whatever works for you.
consider this, my worst mistake. on the floor in which we laid. I should have asked if it was ok. well i would say, baby I'm a risk taker, well honey I'm a heartbreaker and I'll split you in two to just tell me what to do. you tell me everything but the truth, I think I'm crazy for you baby.
well my eyes never felt so shallow, I don't even know why you bother with me. I don't understand why you lie and you bitch and you lie to everyone but me. well I guess I'm not so special, not good enough or not quite as handsome as whoever was me before me whatever works for you.
I want we're the only friends that we have back and I'll never regret what we had, I just can't take it tonight. I'll never watch the day after tomorrow again, and i'll never look back and remember when. there was never when just now and then.

Sound Of A Crowded Room
02:53
|
|||
the first day we met you were smoking a cigarette and I didn't like that and you didn't like me. you had an ugly old dress and your hair was a mess and your shoes were gold. your apartment resembles an empty compartment in the console of my car. want to get a drink or two that's not what i like to do, I like sitting in crowded rooms just listening.
to the sounds humans make, the motives they create with thin crust and no taste, no body no face. we argued about holding hands, no boy you must understand this means nothing but a request, you're no failure no success now the movies starting. the car is starting. take me home, I don't want to be alone, just take me home I don't want to be alone.
sit close, closer. sit close, closer.
we never solved our problems, we left the solutions on the tips of our tongues. now we both lie at the bottom of our livers and our lungs.
our preferred vices, how nice is the sound of a crowded room?

and I don't know who I thought I was, but you knew.
you caught me at an awkward and interesting time of my life. you caught me red handed, you caught me falling for you.
you made me someone I wasn't
you made me someone I wanted to be
you make me and you break
oh you can't fake me with anyone else
sorry that I'm as cold as a ghost, at most.
I'm sorry that I haunt you like one, too.
I don't mean to do that to you. and i'll catch you if you throw me away and store me away for better days.
you made me someone I wasn't.
you made me someone I wanted to be.
you make me and you break me.
you can try to fake me with somebody else.
you made me someone I wasn't.
you made me someone I wanted to be.
you make me and you break me
and you fake me with everyone else.

I'm so far away from all of you. from the things you say, the things you do. I'm the only one who can tie my shoes, I'm the youngest son, I'll show you the bruise. we don't see him anymore, where did he go? he's locked in his room, locked in his tomb. when the fireflies begin to burn, you'll all laugh, point and turn.
he sits alone, reads his endless books of ships and sails, thieves and crooks. the binding is winding down. find me now, try me now. they slowly spin their webs as a simple joke, then he ends up dead. he's dead. we're so close but growing farther from the truth. the distance between me and you.
you're not my friends so lay me here. the table bends the story ends right here. I have nothing left inside of me. everything is on these lines of what I've come to be. these strings have heard more words than you'll ever know. these stupid things, these stupid strings are all I know. and I don't know you, you don't know me, just leave me alone.

The Camera Turns
05:23

it's a shame that we have to part
but don't think it was the distance that tore us apart
you're beautiful only goes so far
cause in the end it comes down to who you are
i guess now i know the truth
this never really did mean much to you
and you can try to defend yourself
but i know, i knew that there was someone else
remember the night you said we need to talk
things aren't working out i said so what
it's not like they ever did ever will ever could ever should
so let's enjoy what time allows and maybe we can
fall in love again somehow but the doubts outweigh the past
back when we wanted things to last so i guess here it ends
years from now we'll only say we were never friends
no words i have left to say except i hope
to see you again someday.
you may hear some things i say
but i promise you're hearing them all the wrong way
i didn't mean half the things you heard did you honestly
think i wanted to make things worse
i thought when you left you'd disappear, but i'm losing my mind
cause you're still here. i can't sleep and when i can i don't want to
wake up cause i know you'll be right there
i just want you to go away, but at the same time i want you to stay
i miss everything that made me hurt and i miss giving you the attention
you didnt deserve. and i'm just making more mistakes, everything i touch
seems to break, except you you're invincible and i'm not and i just feel
like the one you forgot. you're leaving this town forever and god knows
i'll try to forget her, but i will i will remember that when we kissed the camera turns.
you never said, never said to me but your words mean as much
as nothing could ever mean, you never said never said a thing but you did
but i suspect i never listened, the things you say, the things you don't say
the long days, take it the wrong way, i can't take this, i fucking hate this
the words just pile up to be concealed by the touch of your lips.
and what you want and what i have are two different things but can't we work it out somehow?
