Why do we need this
Who was it that said
That great things come to men
Well that fucker lied to us
There’s nothing here but a wasteland
But I can still see the graves of the dead
But it’s useless
Most of us would rather sit
Than see this wound
That we have created
Let’s not last the night
Let’s not last the night
I’m sick and I’m tired of always being the good guy
I’m sick and I’m tired of always being the good guy
Senseless and I’m not sure why
I’m not going to pretend that I know all the answers
Of all of these questions
It’s got to be good for something
So we’ll chalk this up and we’ll mount the dead
On the fireplace above right above our guilded heads
I’m sick and I’m tired of always being the good guy
I’m sick and I’m tired of always being the good guy
Like sitting in the back seat (it’s all the rage)
And boring me with your body (it’s all the rage)
And how many times can I say I’m sorry (it’s all the rage)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
Like sitting in the back seat (it’s all the rage)
And boring me with your body (it’s all the rage)
And how many times can I say I’m sorry (it’s all the rage)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it
Go
Why do we need this
Who was it that said
That great things come to men
Well that fucker lied to us
There’s nothing here but a wasteland
There’s nothing here
[Number dialed]
(Hello!?)
And there’s the rub, we can talk for a while
But I have sweet nothings to say
You don’t want me anyway, you don’t want me anyway
So why, why should I stay?
So goodbye to you and your life
Your new best friends, your confidence
And I’ll be here when you get home
Sitting halfway, away from nowhere
Praying for our lips to touch
Holding myself for a second
Just to catch you smile on this line
So goodbye to you and your life (two months, eight weeks)
Your new best friends, your confidence (turn my hours into days)
And I’ll be here when you get home (when you get home)
So goodbye to you and your life (two months, eight weeks)
Your new best friends, your confidence (turn my hours into days)
And I’ll be here when you get home, when you get home
[Voices:] I can’t feel the same about you anymore [many times]
Is it just like you said it would be (it’s never easy)
I can’t feel this way about you anymore
Is it just like you said it would be (it’s never easy)
I can’t feel the same
I can’t feel this way,
I can’t feel the same about you anymore (it’s never easy)
About you anymore (it’s never easy)
No, I can’t feel this way
I can’t feel the same about you anymore (it’s never easy)
About you anymore (it’s never easy)
About you anymore
[Dial tone]
Just to say we’re sorry
For the black eyes and bleeding lips
And it’s hard to forget
How many lies we’ve told
Or how old we’d grow
Before I said goodbye
So let’s scrape our knees on the playground
It’s not your fault
You feel okay
It’s too late in the day
It’s not your fault
You feel betrayed
You can’t come out to play
I never listened to a word you never said
I never listened to a word you never said
Wasting the hours now
We’re all suckers for tragedies
And start this over again
And you bring us to our knees
As sunrise comes
And the story will sell
A few hundred papers
So we’ll follow you up
It’s not your fault
You feel okay
It’s too late in the day
It’s not your fault
You feel betrayed
You can’t come out to play
I never listened to a word you never said
I never listened to a word you never said
So raise your hands up high
And let this rain pour on
So raise your hands up high
And wash us away
Like innocence and childbirth
You look just like your mother
And you look just like your father
Forgive him our father
Your son is smiling
So lay roses around you
Forget the letters just sleep sound tonight
Pull back the covers without a fight
But as we dance by emergency light
I fail to swallow my tongue
And I’m still here bleeding
So pull this switch and see my body twitch
Oh, as we dance on this memory
A light left blinking on it’s own
And my blood is flowing
Down through this machine
In hope and desire in hope I expire
Turn off this machine
Cause this is the only thing that’s keeping me alive
Turn off this machine
Cause this is the only thing that’s keeping me alive
So pull this switch and see my body twitch
As we dance on this memory
Despair has devoured me whole
A seed wont grow from this soul
This pill wont cure my disease
Can’t you kill this beating heart
Turn off this machine
Cause this is the only thing that’s keeping me alive
Turn off this machine
Cause this is the only thing that’s keeping me alive
Please nurse my batteries are running low
Please nurse oh I think I’m running low
Left here swallowed by this fear
That you will always keep me here
So close your eyes and pray for this to go away
Cause I’m not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the cause I’m looking for?
I plead forgive me
Cause I’m no martyr
Is this the cause that I’m looking for?
I plead forgive me
Cause I’m no martyr
Is this the cause that I’m looking for?
Cause I’m not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the cause that I’m looking for?
Cause I’m not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the cause that I’m looking for?
I plead forgive me
Cause I’m no martyr
You’re not the cause that I’m looking for
I plead forgive me
Cause I’m no martyr
You’re not the cause that I’m looking for
I plead forgive me
Cause I’m no martyr
You’re not the cause that I’m looking for
And I wish it was sweeter
The taste of your mouth
Because right now it hurts too much to be
Closer than this
And with one hard look
I can tell
That you’ve had enough of these useless sunsets
This could be a movie
And this could be our final act
We don’t need these happy endings
This could be a movie
And this could be our final act
We don’t need these happy endings
So tell your father that
That you’re mine
And I’ll swear we’ll run away
And I’ll make a plan and save
Everyone from themselves
And put them in the ground
And put them in the ground
This could be a movie
And this could be our final act
We don’t need these happy endings
This could be a movie
And this could be our final act
We don’t need these happy endings
Sitting in the car
With the radio
Turned to static
Feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself
Back in the hold
That you used to sit so comfortably in
Sitting in the car
With the radio
Turned to static
Feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself
Back in the hold
You used to sit so comfortably in
This could be a movie
And this could be our final act
We don’t need these happy endings
This could be a movie
And this could be our final act
We don’t need these happy endings
Sitting in the car
With the radio
Turned to static
Feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself
Back in the hold
That you used to sit so comfortably in
Sitting in the car
With the radio
Turned to static
Feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself
Back in the hold
That you used to sit so comfortably, comfortably in
Scattered seeds and breaking storms
Won’t make a decent lie for you
Naked and with every breath you climb the stairs
Step by step and I don’t need this
And I don’t need to be saved
Five steps away from this cliff top
And birds sing their praises
To this weary world that haunts my weary soul
There are monsters here
And as you scream
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
There are monsters here
And as you scream
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
And in every despair I’ll find you standing there
Waiting with the bitter taste of envy on your sleeve
‘Cause tonight is our night
And I don’t want this
No, so won’t you let me go
There are monsters here
And as you scream
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
There are monsters here
And as you scream
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
And every animal will find itself a home
And every man and woman, well they’ll just lose control
And we can make ourselves believe
That I don’t want this, I don’t need this
No, I have this to myself
There are monsters here
And as you scream
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
With every despair I’ll find you standing there
It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
Sense at all
Sense at all
Dear friends of this academy
Oh, Romeo is bleeding to death
To see a friend bleed to death
What for, some kind of metaphor
That I can’t see
So I’ll drink until I see it
This sky will make me sick
So I’ll give up on you
I’ll give up on this
This sky will make me sick
So I’ll give up on this,
I’ll give up on you
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
So you want to hold me up and bring me down?
Yes, you want to hold me up and break me down
I don’t care for your sweet scent
Or the way you want me more than I want you
I don’t care for your sweet scent
Or the way you want me more than I want you
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
Archers in your arches
Raise your fingers for one last salute
And bleed this skyline dry
Your history is mine
Scared to open up these eyes
See just what’s inside
This tree is dead and cold
This house is not a home
Help me now
I’m dying here all alone
This is not a new game
So don’t think that you know
Casually I confide
Awake and paralyzed
Forever in one word
Forever is the longest time
It’s the only cure
I’m not sure I’ll survive
This is not a new game
So don’t think that you know
Can you see these blood shot eyes?
And can you see
That my strength is failing
And I can’t go on this way
And this heart’s not beating
It just doesn’t seem the same
And my strength is failing
And I can’t go on this way
Can’t go on this way
Promise me
Promise me
Promise me
You will not ever leave
Promise me
You will not ever leave
Promise me
You will not ever leave
Promise me
You will not ever leave
You will not ever leave
And my strength is failing
And I can’t go on this way
And this heart’s not beating
It just doesn’t seem the same
It doesn’t seem the same
It just doesn’t seem the same
Killing you
Might be the only chance I have
Of recovery
But I know it’s so severe
As you know it would be
The punishment it fits the crime
So let’s take this knife (Take this knife)
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love? (Feel like love)
Here we are waiting
So let’s take this knife
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love?
Here we are waiting
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you’ll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you’ll have to wear this week
Killing me
Might be the only chance you have
Of recovering
But I know it’s so severe
As you know it would be
The punishment it fits your crime
So let’s take this knife (Take this knife)
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love? (Feel like love)
Here we are waiting
So let’s take this knife
And run it down your chest
Does this feel like love?
Here we are waiting
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you’ll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you’ll have to wear this week
You and I
Will die alone tonight
You and I
Will lie alone tonight
You and I
Will die alone tonight
You and I
Will die alone
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you’ll have to wear this week
The light looks good against
The bruises on your cheek
Another medal that you’ll have to wear this week
The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby
They dragged it up
And continued with the beatings
And how you bleed, oh
Yes, you could bleed forever
And it burns and leaves the rope tied tonight
It burns and leaves the rope tied
The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby
Another finger lost
What use do you have for those eyes in your head
You took and killed
Everything about me
It burns and leaves the rope tied tonight
It burns and leaves the rope tied
The stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby
And the stars will be your nightlights tonight
And I will be your lullaby goodnight
So disgusted with it
You took your sweet time
So let’s get out of this town
So let’s get out of this town
So disgusted with it
And you took your sweet time
So let’s get out of this town
So let’s get out of this town
And start this day all over and over again
Just like the good old days
You wipe the stains from off your face
Just forget her and
Just forget her and
Just like the good old days
You wipe the stains from off your face
And forget her and
Just forget her
Best line I heard all day
You’re too much of a good thing
Too much of a good thing
You are bleak
You are beautiful
No matter what they say
With this light
And tired childish games
Swept us all away
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
This is strange
This is wonderful
This grip chokes us all
It takes time
More than we have
So what have we done now?
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
It takes time
And please tell me what we’ve done
It takes time
Please tell what we’ve done
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
Sing it out
Sing it out for all of us
