If you had anywhere else to be besides stealing beer at parties, frankly I'd be surprised. But I won't assume, because I already know it's true. Everything that you claim you're into, you're nothing to get attached to. We're trying to find redeeming traits, but nothing ever seems to come to mind. We've circled our brains enough times to know your best excuse is lack of personality. Sink or swim, you're drowning in what's left of your confidence. We're watching you try way too hard. I wish I was brave enough to say this all to your face, but you'll hear it anyways from everyone around you. I'm getting out of this town small enough for two.

This house is a machine that I don't understand
I just live inside it and hope it won't kill me.
Wires and windows, lighting and concrete,
and piles of blueprints built on monuments and seeds.
Someone I've never met built where I put my bed and that scares me to death.
There are corners of the room I've never been to.
They could house anything, like currents of symmetry.
Every exit is an entrance and all the clocks are wrong.
If I could say that all these things make me afraid of everything.

washed out
damp and alone
shed the stain
that I've grown to know
it's hard to swallow
with your hands around my throat
shed the stain
that I've grown to know
when every inch of you set in
I felt the warmth that had been absent
I can feel you in my bones
washed, ripe, to call your own
washed out
bored and alone
become the stain
I've grown to know
it's hard to swallow
with your hands around my throat
shed the stain
that I've grown to know
when every inch of you set in
I felt the warmth that had been absent
I can feel you in my bones
washed, ripe, to call your own
don't wanna push you away, no I
don't wanna push you away

Sirs - Eye For An Answer
02:37

|

stop it
keep walking
we're told by, we're screamed at
by our instincts, we're gonna lose
make your friends
and sleep on empty promises
comparing battle scars
callous your fingers
digging tunnels in the earth
exploring wormholes
breath in a new kind of air
just keep your axes with you
cause we're gonna build it up
and we're gonna tear it down
you don't see me
when your veins are bleeding out
all over pick-pocketed letters
she's swallowing
folding in under pressure
there's bruises on my thighs
from beating them with my fists
stop it
read those same three words articulate
sour faces under lampshades
spread it around
take an eye for an answer
making tinder from telephone poles
calling all horses to town for the masters of our senses
get angry when their trumpets blow
nothing but hot air and spit
we're making headway
sleeping on spikes
accepting favors from preachers
for pennies and prayers
that you've never believed in
but you may someday believe it
your bitter judgements get me down
your better judgement gets me

I hate everyone that I know, then I wonder “where did my friends go?” Fucking poor me, always suffering. Everyone will let me down, one way or the other. One day I’ll be dead and gone, maybe then we’ll get along? I’m not holding breath, but what do I know? I know nothing.
|

|

Every time I try to call. you never, pick up your phone
I'm trying to argue but this is the end.
Funny how you still think that we're friends
You ask me for one more night.
I'm standing my ground and i'm saying goodbye.
Because I only ask questions.
Please could you give me an answer

Back to reality, car parked across the street, running red lights on the streets i've not seen for weeks.
Six months of six hours a week versus six years of maturity; I don't think you'd trade it, not for anything. I know you're tied up, by your feet.
Yeah we messed around and it felt like home, but i'm not one to take mistakes so seriously; so this is new to me.

The weight is heavy, I know
I’m not ready to lift it, been better at letting it go
You’re a big school kid with a heart drawn out like a map
My ideas are much smaller, my brain is scattered at best
I don’t think there’s anything left to know
I’m too tired tonight
And it goes, and goes, and goes
I saw you then, I looked right in your face
But you give me half light, the full thing I know it waits
I thought I’d see it in the sweet of the springtime
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/y/young-statues-lyrics/half-light-lyrics.html ]
I thought I’d see you, somewhere down the line
But I don’t
Oh no, I’m too tired tonight
And it goes, and goes, and goes
I’ll remember you in the best of times
Your big school heart and a bottle of wine
You can treat me unkind tonight
But I won’t let that leave my side
I’ll think of you in the summertime
I’ll be alright, I’ll be happy tonight

Can you glance at me one more second,
Before you walk out that door?
When miles are standing in my way,
Feeling like a zombie everyday,
Those tired eyes will always get me home.
She said
"Let's drive like we are the only ones on the road tonight."
You don't have to look and hold your breath.
Return and you will find me.
If somehow I should forget,
I'll have this song to remind me.
With one hand pinned to your chest
And the other grasping mine,
Do you swear a solemn oath?
Never forget these moments,
Never comfort them with lies.
Always keep them locked at home.
She said
"Let's drive like we are the only ones on the road tonight."
You don't have to look and hold your breath.
Return and you will find me.
If somehow I should forget,
I'll have this song to remind me.
Don't believe a word they say to you
When you're feeling less than whole.
Don't believe a word they say to you
And don't believe a word they say to you
When you're feeling less than whole.
Don't believe a word they say to you
You don't have to look and hold your breath.
Return and you will find me.
If somehow I should forget,
I'll have this song to remind me.
You don't have to look and hold your breath.
Return and you will find me.
If somehow I should forget

Pentimento - The Bridge
02:46
|
|

This is an endless amount of elements
constructed out of math and other things
that I barely understand.
I stare from a coast with every intention
to seek another destination.
It's not about hate, it's not about pain.
Just compelling waves of thought that seem to wash over your brain.
And they're whispering:
"Do the right thing or throw it all away".
I just haven't decided if it's across the lake
Or at the bottom of it.
That wind was something I'll never forget.
Every time I feel it move, i'm reminded that
It's not about love, it's not about trust.
Just being comfortable collapsing on the shores where you wash up.
And they're whispering:
"Do the right thing or throw it all away".
All we are is blood and bones and sometimes a soul.
(I'll throw it all away)

shake shake wont you come and dance with me
wild and free now we're on the street
young blood come around to make your name
shoot for the kill and kill for the fame
hey hey they got you on a little roll
flying by you're running through the tolls
short trip now the top is blowing off
long fall once yourself's been lost
just say what you mean to say
bright lights shining on the other side
blind yourself just to live the life
youngblood show them what they want to see
now I'm you and you're me

Pity Sex - Dogwalk
04:42

I get lost with you.
I dogwalk with you around the block.
I get by with you.
I get high with you best I can.
I'd do anything to make you feel.
I wanna cry with you.
I wanna die with you once or twice.
I wanna lie with you until the pain is through for a while.
I'd do anything to make you feel.
You must've took me for a walk cause I'm short of breath.
You must've stomped right up and scared away my death.

Lately safety is not an issue
There's more concern over questions left unanswered by you
No compromise
I'll be alright
We'll never understand
Everything we had
But I'll try
Faulty wiring has left me fatigued
Can't seem to render situations laid before me
You cross my mind
From time to time
There's fear I can't explain
Since you went away
But I'll try

It’s the worst part of being home,
While I’m sitting all alone and you’re chasing someone else.
And you said that I should change my head around,
Cause you lost the feeling now.
It’s with someone else.
I’ll spend my time like I don’t even care.
And I wont say anything at all,
Although I was always there.
I knew love, but where is it?
I said that I would turn around,
That I would change myself.
But you wont work it out.
And I watched you run away and forget everything.
And forget me.
I’ll spend my time like I don’t even care.
And I wont say anything at all,
Although I was always there.
I knew love, but where is it?

Been thinking of you
When I lie
Behind closed doors
We’re safe for so long
Til I can’t sleep by your side
Anymore
I’d rather waste all of my days
Than wait for you to
Come and say that you
Miss me too
It’s just some days
The rain can pour harder on me
And other days are just a waste
To breathe
I need help I can’t handle it
So I’ll sit
And I’ll try
To think of another direction
To get your attention
Wallow in self pity
Can’t think of charming words
It’s all out of my hands
Please
Know I’m waiting for you
Cause you could still need me
I’ve had some harder days
Girl I can settle down
And it’s just plain to see
But what else can I do
I’m just a waste of life
And a waste of your time
Feel the pain
Cause I can’t stop from dreaming
I gave you a heart to hold
And all I got was a fake crush
I gave you my heart to hold
And all I got was a crush.

I was a stone, you were a landslide.
I was afraid you’d drag me down.
You were alone; at least that’s how I found you.
Hurt enough to hope that I knew
something about being overused, and I do.
Are you afraid of the end?
Are you afraid of the end of everything?
I’m not afraid of the end. No not afraid of the ending of anything.
And I won’t take part in this.
I could take you apart but it takes so long for me to get you there.
I should have known, should have seen you running.
Pedal to the floor, eyes set to some new lover’s door.
You just couldn’t feel so idle anymore.
If this is what you want then say it is.
We’re all detachable, nothing’s permanent, you learn to live with it.
Are you afraid of the end?
Are you afraid of the end of everything?
I’m not afraid of the end. No not afraid of the ending of anything.
And I won’t take part in this.
I could take you apart but it takes so long for me to get you there.
Well nothing’s wrong till you say it is and
I’ve been off before but not about this.
If you’ve been looking for a reason to keep moving here I am.
Here it is.
Are you afraid of the end?
Are you afraid of the end of everything?
I’m not afraid of the end. No not afraid of the ending of anything.
And I won’t take part in this.
I could take you apart but it takes so long for me to get you there.

Diamond Youth - Sunburn
02:57

I had you up against the car
What were you thinking?
With my hands in your hair
No sign of slowing down or care
I'll leave you out in the sunset
To burn it in your mind
Do you remember the sunset?
Am I a fool for ever wanting you?
I had you up against the car
Nobody watching
In the center of the world
Nobody told me you could hurt
I'll leave you out in the sunset
To burn it in your mind
I'll leave you out in the sunset
Girl all you need is time
Am I a fool for ever wanting you?
Am I a fool for ever thinking you're cool?
All you need is time
To burn it into your memory
I'll burn it into your memory
|

I never did, I'll never forget
The way the veins burst from your hands
How you were fighting for breath
And holding on when there was nothing left
But bitter nights, sleep shivers
I can hear your voice still screaming
Forever searching for something
I wont let you disappear from my life
This weight upon my chest
"Can you see me?" "Can you feel me?"
Like the rivers we once sailed, I can't stop
Bitter nights, sleep shivers
I can hear you at night
You're screaming "You lied! You lied!"
"This love was never made for me,"
So you turn your head and die
|

Losing ground and losing faith falling full circle on my face
I saw my self cowering down,
Opening up I let the emptiness out
you said "just be honest to me"
I even knew it might set me free
but i have no chance in confronting who i used to
one day ill open the past up
and over analyze just because
i cling to you like blood to a wound as
if my letting go would be bad for us both
My mistakes still
echo these four walls
and i wont forgive
myself for anything
The shade of your skin
in the jersey twilight
oil painted on canvas
stops the aching
and I still need you (i cant come back from this)
and I still hear you ( i cant come back from this)
and I still feel you (i cant come back from this)
and I will open up(i cant come back from this)

Tawny Peaks - With Steps
04:13
|
|
||
You made an example of my view from above
What I'd rather do and where I'd rather be
Lying down caterpillar crawling over me
With nothing up to you, right now I would be
Lying down caterpillar crawling over me
This is what it takes for me to find my way back you see
It's easy for me
And this is what it takes from me
And this all it takes from me
With steps, one, two, I'll walk through too
|

We water the plants even after they die,
waste all our time in the helpless notion
of shooting around in blankets of fog,
eyes closed, shouting your name to no one.
There’s a horror story in here somewhere
but we are too apathetic to find it.
We can pick out our faults
enough to blame our parents,
why can’t we blame ourselves?
You, only you, can change yourself.
