it's indescribable but it's all you know it's everything you want but you had to go and run, run away the indigo children; our auras are still bright why did i tell myself that you weren't right for me, for me 'cause i've been watching movies trying to get inside those worlds where everyone stays the same and there's no such thing as change i've been taking the time to forget this girl 'cause i am so afraid i am so insane and out of all the colours of fall black seems to have the most prevalence i guess maybe white it could exist if i was me, and this was this but i am not myself today my words; i just have nothing to say it's funny what some drinks can do it's funny i said that i love you

sit in the park, wait for dark, fill my head with strange things just passing the time, between day and night, close my eyes with strange dreams and every now and then I think of you wonder what it is you do each day : I think of you I wonder if you think of me too.. no! I'm not living my life like a dead man's wife so close, so close to being without you you said "are you smoking enough?, "girl you look rough.." I swear to god, I swore I'd forget you but every now and then I think of you wonder what it is you do each day : I think of you I wonder if you think of me too.. it's funny what happens to lovers when they don't belong with one another. we were so young and stupid, and hey- you're the one who fled undercover 
so every now and then, I think of you; I wonder if you think of me too.

My palms are sweaty My eyes are heavy I can feel my heart beat gotta breath in slowly. Where are you now? Where are you now? My head makes decisions and I can't stop these visions; I want to see your face bleed. I want to hear your voice scream. I know, I know, I know it's jealousy but you know, you know, Love makes you do crazy things So keep your stars to yourself If you leave now I'll wish you well. I knew that you hung out Fucked around all strung out Didn't you think you'd regret it? I'll make you regret it. I know, I know, I know it's jealousy but you know, you know, Love makes you do crazy things So keep your stars to yourself If you leave now I'll wish you well. Now I dream in green, There's nothing in between. My eyes are fire burning! These lessons, you should be learning! I know, I know, I know it's jealousy but you know, you know, Love makes you do crazy things So keep your stars to yourself If you leave now I'll spare you hell.

anonymous 03:35
Wake up and lay where I lay Stay still; can't seem to stomach the day Oh the skies are grey and my eyes are grey. The music is grey, and you just let it play.. I think I used to wake up strong I think I used to answer calls but I've got nothing good to say to these old familiar names. Feel my body giving out Fill my head with countless doubts When will my worries stray? When will my sadness stray? You know the sky is grey! Won't you just let it rain?.. I think I used to wake up strong I think I used to answer calls but I've got nothing good to say to these old familiar names.. Who never knew me anyway! Who never knew me anyway! I'm not where I would like to be, and I'm sick with apathy and these skies are, skies are, skies are overwhelming. and I'm dreary, dreary just pretending. I think I used to wake up strong I think I used to answer calls but I've got nothing good to say to these old familiar faces

caller ID 00:49
If I had caller id then I would know if you were calling me I could answer the phone Maybe meet you for coffee If only I had caller id and if anonymous don't stop calling me well I think that I might go crazy this must be why I am so lonely if only I had caller id if only I had caller id.

Sun shines in the room I'm sitting in; Try not to think of you- 'cause your dark. When you chose to change your mind, You could have let me go before the time of death. I'm in the car that you towed to a place that I don't know. I'm the seed that you planted to abuse as it grows. Your evil eyes and your dirty clothes Relentless lies and your copied prose. I'm the colour grey in your world of cheap mistakes, and I can't stand the words you use to catch your prey. Not a lioness, but a fucking cloud of shame. Your evil eyes and your dirty clothes Relentless lies and your copied prose. I'm the lie that you'll tell to continue to create hell For everyone you'll ever touch; It's poisoning trying to bleed this blood for you. Yeah, It's poisoning just trying to bleed this blood for you. I let you tie me up I let you tear me down You made me hold my breath so you could watch me drown Now my lips are blue but they're better without you. Sure these nights are blue, but they're better without you.

i've been sitting i've been listening to the radio playing songs about you songs about me now i am paying how come you don't feel bad? 'cause I feel bad i could draw the most beautiful picture but you'd play blind now you could see the sincerity but you close your eyes talking to you is like talking to no one trying to get my point across but i am no one to you, to you, to you to you how can you not feel bad 'cause i feel worse than i've ever felt i feel like im living hell and you feel nothing you feel nothing.

this weather brings me back paints my insides black taste of charcoal 'cause I had too much to drink you remind and I remember ghosts of ways I used to be my eyes evil december that same way they used to see greyest sky it plays tonight like a movie in my mind I can feel the darkness coming you can't escape the storm inside first snowfall of the season emperor's already screaming hear the harm, hear the discord fear my eyes, and fear the bleeding you know; you've always been the best at bringing out the worst of me drugs, sex, and cigarettes your presence fucking tortures me greyest sky it plays tonight like a movie in my mind I can feel the darkness coming you can't escape the storm inside you can laugh right in my face say the words you say but don't you ever say her name don't ever fucking say her name to me again

I took a walk down on Saturday I took a walk down just to see my face in grey I guess I thought we'd always look the same I thought I'd always feel the same I'm just so tired still I can't sleep at night and I feel so wrong just strumming along. I was searching for direction trying to straighten up the sections of my mind but I'm always looking for excuses I'm always feeling fucking useless; all the time. I'm just so tired still I can't sleep at night and I feel so wrong just strumming along. I used to stare my dreams right in the face I used to know how to get out of this place of grey

trainwreck 03:54
I've been on this train for weeks and it's brought me to my knees 'Cause I don't know where I've been going I think I'd rather it crashed 'Cause I've been hating the place I sit Resenting the life I live but the train just wouldn't stop.. I don't know what I did. Now I'm stuck at the scene of the mess It was a horrible drug to ingest I think I'd rather be dead. before it ends.. before it ends.. before it ends.. I thought I'd go for one last walk but there's no hands on this old clock I'd have to stay here for forever.. So I just let it crash. It never ends. Don't want to hear that wretched sound. I just want to feel that calm of the ground. What does it take to just be still? Shouldn't have let it begin.. It never ends. They're lifeless, I think they're all dead Just stood and watched them in my head This train's a mountain of regret, but I miss it the same. It never ends.. It never ends.. It never ends.. It never ends.
