And the truth is that it’s not so bad
Which just hurts us both
While I hurt you the most
I’m not proud-
Then out of sky, not a bird or a plane
A pointless lie, to hurt you again
No reason within, or a way to begin
Words burn like flames, no support or no change!
I’d like to feel I’m not atrocious
Not awful, not bad news
I’m surrounded by my own history
Now my history surrounds you
Then out of the dirt, my old hand in a skirt
Reminds I’m not clean, the places I’ve been
It’s not far, behind, in the back of my mind
The women I’ve seen, the drugs in-between
We’re, animals, trying, to act
Like we’re not
We’re not, trying too
Hard!-
There’s no need to listen
We’ll only forget
I’ll ignore the rest
In my bullshit-proof vest
Relent over nothing
Or just the tiniest something
I just wish, You’d stop being jealous!
And let me be selfish
Always did what I did till I met you
Whenever you say stop I try my best to
Never raised my fist or screamed with anger
Always keep my mouth good 'n' shut for,
HER!
I can’t find, a better way
To be myself, anymore
I can’t wait to look back with regret
Than to look forward with fear
We can always ignore these things
We’ve been doing it for years and years
Years and years!
You’re looking at me like I’m crazy
Looking at you like you’re crazy
I wish I weren’t hurting you
Like I am right now
Look away, look away
Pretend that I’m not
I once knew a boy who swallowed his pride
Perhaps he’ll die?
Yeah!? I’d rather be told off for telling the truth
Than get away with telling a lie
I’m screaming while I’m at home
Though I keep my mouth
Closed!

I think we find struggle
Within our youth
Our broken memories
We cling to as proof
From outside the window
It looks so small
From back of the garden
You can’t see it all
Behind closed bedroom doors
Anger sights a voice
Grinding dust from teeth
Ignoring there’s a choice
I called for you! You called me to
We’re both to blame
We’re exactly alike?
No we’re nothing the same
But I think we are better
Than we seem to believe
There’s more to what we do
Than what we can see
For the score, there’s love in war
And it feels so fucking close
Do you love me more?
Because I love you the most
I have no fight
I leave you empty
I wish I could see
What you see in me
As blood pumps to fire
The head start to beat
We’re in this together
While all else sleeps
You and I Alone
We’ll live with regret, every single day
When we do the things, that we will not say
I want to skip this! You want to face it!
We want another way
I know you miss me! You stay home lonely!
I want us to be ok
We can’t be the things, that stop us from living
We can’t change each other, we can’t keep expecting
I know you want this! You know we need this!
We can’t keep rejecting
I open my hands! For you to take them!
I need you, To-save-the day
You and I Alone
We all know I’m a waste to everyone’s time
I’m not important to anyone’s, not even mine
We all know exactly where I want to be
We know exactly, especially me
All I want to hear are the bangings on the door
Passed out in the back room begging you for more
Eyes upon the ceiling, lying on my back
Covered in my own blood choking on smack
I really, really, really don’t want to be here anymore
Not that I can see right now but I’ve seen it all before
Not that I really, really mean to boast
And not say I told you so, but it feels so fucking close!
This is our home!
It’s where we live!
Aaaaaahhhhhhh! x4
This is our home, It’s where we live
It’s our safe place {x2
You and I Alone

Look in your soul, look
Down, down, down
Is it space? Is it big enough?
Pace back and forth, go
Round and round
Look at your face, look to the
Sky-! Go
Down, down, down
No one can ever,
Help, you just go
Round and round
Behind great men, lay their victims
You can not see, if you don’t want, to
You can not feel, if there is nothing to, you
Nothing and nothing and nothing
That I can’t take that’s yours
Nothing and nothing and nothing
Is safe from my flaws
Nothing to be proud of!
And proud of it!
I’m always behind YOU, starring into
Where you hold your pain, in the rain
Soaked to the BONE, no home
Is safe from me, the big empty
Is for me to SEE, I’m happy
To bleed you dry, but I don’t know why?
I want to strip you down
And eat out of your shoe
Just like any bad boy
Would want to do
Kicking in your emotions
I’ve always been the best
The heart pumps blood
Don’t accuse it of doing anything less
I don’t want you
I just don’t want you with anyone else
Push you, prod you, poke you
Till you’re no longer yourself
Leave you hurting
As I’m ready to roll
Thinking of just me
Is always the goal
I’m the sneaky feet eater
It’s my kind of show
Sitting right back
As I’m raring to go
I! Can’t! Be! Anything! Else!
We’re right in
We’re right in
You taste like the way I taste
You taste like the way I taste!
You can not see, unless I let go
You can not feel, until I say so
