You want me to fight for you?
If that means fighting with myself, then I’ve risked my life for you
You wanna be forgiven,
but you don’t wanna know your crimes, just the bliss of innocence
I don’t know what you expect from me I’m not a damn thing like I was
Haven’t I hurt you enough to convince you, I’ve hurt you just because?
You wanna trust me, except when I tell you that you can’t
‘Cause I’m nothing lovely.
Beneath this skin, I wanna be like you
Want you to see yourself in me, and live in my nightmare
Smiles and beauty never fade in photographs
They hide in sheets while bodies try the same
Time becomes the fragrance of the frozen past
And haunts the hearts that live outside of frames
Would you mind if I break you, dethrone and disgrace you, in the name of Love?
You’re my scarlet forgiveness, my merciful mistress, unjaded and stung
Would you mind if I kill you, betray and reveal you, in the name of Love?
You’re my unholy scripture, enabler, and victim, of all that I’ve done
You wanna be enticing, to an endless appetite
Darling, It’s still lying.. if you lie to yourself
Let me ask you a question, let your “yes” be “yes” and your silence the same
Is your back to the darkness, the same way your god’s is, in heavenly shame?
Do you pray to disarm the mirror, and pose like the picture, of all that you claim?
If you’re as sick as your secrets, are you barely breathing, and cold in your veins?
You want me to fight for you? Who’s your worst enemy?

The Other Side

Girl I've been thinking
If there's anything I could say to settle your mind
Because my world is still shrinking
But no matter what comes next I'm never surprised
After all of these roads
The only thing we can know
If the places we have been
We've been trying so hard
To keep our backs to the dark
But that's where it all begins
Girl I promise just give me time
I'll be there on the other side
You don't have to wait forever
For me to find my way home
I can barely feel the ground beneath my feet
Your steps beside me are the soundtrack of my dreams
Why do we say heaven above
When it's right here in this love tonight
It's feeling things we can't see
And saying words we can't speak
That keeps our souls alive

We Could Be Lovers

Your scarecrows and fences
Are convincing lies
But these cobweb defenses
Only fuel the fire
God may stand as witness
But on whose behalf?
While you hold the pin to
The grenade in my hand?
It's as natural an exchange
As when paper meets the rain
We could soak in every drop of the pain
Or we could be lovers
Say "we're only human"
Say "we'll never change"
Feed virtue to ego
As you take the blame
You're the brightest day
With a starless night
I'm the perfect pain
That proves you're still alive
We could curse our stripes
And scream till stars align
Or we could be lovers

Ashes To Everlasting

Now this may sound crazy
But I've been trying to lie to you
Ever since you stole my apathy
Why would you lock the door
If you crack the window when you sleep?
But do I have strength enough
Strength enough to survive the truth?
Or does your innocence mean I can't do it tactfully?
It's taking everything
Not to close the distance we keep
Right now I want you, right now, I need you
'Cause it's easier to run from love when you can't see the face you're running from
And you don't know the rest you can find from the arms you're dying to leave behind
I'm too close to missing eternity again
Now I can't promise you anything but this
No reserves, no regrets, no retreats this time
Please forgive my restlessness
It's harder to accept than fight
It's not that I can't let you go
It's that I can't let go of you
The scene will never be perfect but
Maybe two wrongs can make it right
From ashes to everlasting
I think the test of time
Has better questions than we're asking
Right now I want you, right now, I need you
But unlock the door so we don't leave broken glass should we leave
What if we fall?
What if we break?
What if we lose our way
A day's stroll from heaven's gates?
I could go blind today
If the last thing I saw was your face
I'll make you trust me again
I'll make you love me again
You don't have to worry this time
I'll make you believe in me again

Tears

I watch as my fears line up in rows
And I sink down farther than ever before
Tell me I've been sleeping
I stand as my plans go up in flames
And I lose my way, my grip, all I've gained
Tell me I've been sleeping
I'm going down with the ship 100 feet from land
But how can I learn to swim when I can barely stand?
I'm not the man who still can stand as broken as I'll ever be
What hasn't killed me left me nothing but the air I breathe
I reach through the tension far as I can As peace washes over and through my hands
And I realize I'm not sleeping
I scream empty words like ballads for the dead
An antidote too late for the poison unsaid
And I realize I'm not sleeping
Tossing and turning in an ocean of dreams and the seas become haunted
When life's a burden on the backs of the weak what can keep us from falling?
But I've fallen and now I see
I'm not the man who still can stand as broken as I'll ever be
What hasn't killed me left me nothing but the air I breathe
And every remedy's a waste 'cause I'm addicted to the therapy
The toughest pill to swallow's, that when I wake tomorrow
I'll still be

Must I always leave it all to feel alive the way I do now?
詰め込んだ季節はまだ少しあふれてる
(I haven’t finished packing the seasons I’ve spent here)
Finding yourself is a lonely road, you got what I need but I have to go
Hiroshima, you’re making it hard for me…
夏のおわり別れの日気づくかけがえのないもの
(The end of summer, I realize priceless things on the day of my departure)
Just long enough to care not long enough to be bothered by the things
That make you see the inside
Finding yourself is a lonely road, you got what I need but I have to go
Hiroshima, you’re making it hard for me…
Finding yourself is a lonely road, if I never came would I ever know?
I'll still be walking your streets when I'm a thousand miles away
遠く離れてもなくならないように
(Even though we are far apart we won't lose it)
'Til I pass that point where leaving brings me back again
I will miss you
