I took an easy ride so the world could pretend that I'm superior You'd have an honest man if you took the time to wire up my jaw I fell asleep in the backseat, fuck, it was so sweet, I ran a red like I saw a matador, yeah The sun might melt whilst you wait for my arteries to thaw I'm taking you to war I'm taking you to war I'm never gonna spill my guts, it feels like death by a thousand cuts So when the here and now holds me down, I fall apart I don't wanna talk too much, I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round, God, bless my big empty heart I'll only lose my head if I stand too close to hysteria And if it took your breath, then I'm betting that I focused on the flaw So go and set me in concrete, I'm just a deadbeat, you always said I'm the wolf that's at your door I would drown myself, but the thirst'd have me coming back for more I'm never gonna spill my guts, it feels like death by a thousand cuts So when the here and now holds me down, I fall apart I don't wanna talk too much, I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round, God, bless my big empty heart God, bless my big empty heart I'm just a born-again pessimist, I'll only kick you from the precipice Come follow me, we'll march on Heaven's gates I'm never gonna spill my guts, it feels like death by a thousand cuts So when the here and now holds me down, I fall apart I don't wanna talk too much, I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round, God, bless my big empty heart My big empty heart My big empty heart My big empty heart God, bless my big empty heart

Time will swallow Your precious time Like magic create the future What makes man so fickle? Who put the daggers in those eyes? Was it to learn Through dark days of struggle? Was it to burn To burst all our bubbles? Thunder and rain Well the cynicle flame will it heat, stick and blister? Thunder and rain Evangelistic brother Should be banging a tambourine Go wash your hands and fingers Till your mind is clean Was it your fate To sleep like a normal? Time and decay No man is immortal Thunder and rain Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame Will it heat stick and blister? Thunder and rain Still try to resist the pessimist The pessimist no no And these things I find In the back of my mind Where time lasts forever I get all mixed Think I'm all mankind Listen Mr Pessimister With your Catholic taste Oh listen Mr Pessimister Pessimister We do not relate Listen Mr Pessimister, Pessimister, Pessimister Mr Pessimister

I broke both our hearts And I meant what I said But before we part Could I get in your bed? You brought out a better me Without you, who will I be? 'Cause I ain't stuck, but I ain't free Can we just pretend That I didn't make a mess of us? In my defence I was holding on to what's left of us No, I shouldn't stay tonight But I need to know you'll be alright Can we just pretend And spend one more night, now we know it's the end? When we said goodbye And mourned a younger us I heard the angels cry As I got on my bus Feel you in a steady breeze Look for you in cherry trees I'm still your girl in dungarees Can we just pretend That I didn't make a mess of us? In my defence I was holding on to what's left of us No, I shouldn't stay tonight But I need to know you'll be alright Can we just pretend And spend one more night, now we know it's the end? One more night, now we know Can we just pretend That I didn't make a mess of us? In my defence I was holding on to what's left of us No, I shouldn't stay tonight But I need to know you'll be alright Can we just pretend And spend one more night, now we know it's the end?

Gonna crack a rib When I get home I'm gonna bury you In my favorite hole I made a bloody mess In the kitchen sink I tried to fix myself But I didn't think They said We just want to talk with you They just want to walk you through Oh, I dont want to see Me, I want to be trapped in you Oh, I dont want to be Me, but I'm gonna pretend for you, oh Let's paint our nails and keep it real 'Cause honey all I know is what I feel I'm still looking for a friend of a friend He said he'd hook me up He told me what he had They say leave your body, leave your mind Don't you know you're out of time? In his room, in his bed You can't hear what he said Looks like dirt, tastes like trash Honey, I know you could float right past, oh Oh I don't want to see Me, I wanna be trapped in you Oh, I don't want to be Me, but I'm gonna pretend for you

Laid to rest in the nothingness. And I've nothing left to give with this hole in my chest. And the pain is endless. So drag me deeper into the depths. Drag me deeper and deeper, far from the grips of man. I want my lungs to fill with plastic, I want to feel the weightlessness I want to sink into Atlantis. I want to never breathe again. Beneath the hurricane, Where no man descends. Beneath the raging tide, We'll shelter from the end. I will cleanse from the city stench. Let these waters rinse my hands. I want to sink into Atlantis. I want my lungs to fill with plastic, I want to feel the weightlessness I want to sink into Atlantis. I want to never breathe again. Survive in my demise and try to realise That you've got nothing more Nothing more Nothing more As you rise to the surface With surging waves to destroy this place. Fear me, For I am the ocean. I am the ocean I am the ocean I am the ocean

Shatter of dreams Sinking down in this disease I cannot be coming back And I'll be one without a problem You'll be there to save me From sinking From sinking Sending this another message to come and open up your skull Flood the lights just another reason Just another reason to flee What's up? Come on back down to the reason that you where all (Wake the fuck up) You never wanted this, that's it I'm gonna give you all that I've got Give you all that I've got This is for real Because I know A fresh start is all that I need A fresh start is all that I need I wash it away And start over It's not over yet As I wash it away And start over It's not over Not over just yet We'll be dead inside and I'll be nothing but the fucking mind And I'll be nothing but still trying to open up this mind As I guess again and I could never forget it But then again I'm not sure if this is even real Please forgive all my ignorance Pacifist Determination And I won't be cursed at the other end From the crash of it I'm talking pacifist You'll be nothing but a sour tear in my eye Self justified I wash it away And start over It's not over yet As I wash it away And start over It's not over Just another old martyr inside my mind Less time at the crime to define all these trying times You'll be nothing but tears in my eyes and the fire inside And I'll be nothing but justified And You'll be nothing but smears in my mind So go forget it, I'm finished Rest Forget it, I'm finished Forget it, I'm finished with you So go close your eyes for me There'll be nothing more to see Defined by a great lie Self justified as I watch I wash it away And start over It's not over yet As I wash it away And start over It's not over Not over just yet We'll be dead inside and I'll be nothing but the fucking mind And I'll be nothing but still trying to open up this mind As I guess again and I could never forget it But then again I'm not sure if this even real I'm finished with you Forget it, I'm finished
