danke schoen bright eyes

dont forgive me danke schoen

dont pretend that i dont complain

dont remember me ten years from now

watch me falling from the sky

from here a glimmer you disguise

is that a tear next to blue eyes

or sweat from the hatred you bestow

bright eyes in the morning

the morning you go

by noon its December

ill leave if it snows

even if no one knows

broken sidewalk break my fall

broken picture in the hall

broken dreams highlight high beams

and its over when I hit the ground

internal bleeding takes the cause

scraps of metal, broken jaw

burn my body, leave the ashes

in the attic so im alone

Over seas (vocals by tj)

Over seas and under skies,

we almost made it out alive

Under ground and in our hearts,

we almost lost our favorite part

So I don't know how to tell you

to say, to say goodbye

Gone are the days that time takes away

And all of our pain is built only to outlive us

Us, it hurts just to remember what it was like

to be seen in a different light.

Please don't let your chemicals get the best of you,

it only depresses you

Last words

Im holding my breath

Escaping my death

Though conscience calls

I cant find the words

Theyre like cigarette burns

On top of paper cuts

Avoiding your face

With nothing to say

Lets pretend that Im not here

And now in my stead

While Im away dead

Youre comforted that I dont exist

Dont take it back, hes already gone

Your eyes make the tide break

The seas move to see you

If I could say one thing

Id say hello for all the times I forgot

Ill watch you walk by
Ill open the sky

To hide the fact I know your name

I know I cant compete

And you compared to me

Is like falling rain and gasoline

On Nick

This is in my imagination
An undesirable inclination
To lean towards the ground
To open up and spiral down

And on Nick rests the hurt of everyone
Listen just for the gentle sighs tonight
Please don't sympathize tonight
Please don't give it one more try

"I want a girl who looks me in the eyes and tries to seem so bored,
I want a girl who knows that I'm not the only one for her."
I am just a boy who looks tired every waking hour
I am just a boy who knows I am just a basic coward

Oh, love

Not the Same

The applause is deafening,

But I'll pull each hand apart

And so from across the room

You'll hear my open heart

I pour like liquor on this paper

With enough left over for seconds later

And we are not the same

Not the same, not the same at all

I tagged you we tagged it back

I want to give to you the first and last

I want you to know there is more

A sober life and a girl who cares for you

What do you when you're out alone?

What will it take to destroy you now?

And we are not the same

Not the same, not the same at all

But you are a part of me

And you have always loved me

If I could I'd give you peace

A perfect world with perfect release

An open book and another life

Little or no hindsight

No longer sleep walk at night

But instead tucked into bed tight

Virgils

If the world is broken hearts

And blood shot eyes

If we take too long to recognize

this was love

You once did notice,

the only protest

is keeping the gun loaded

You might still see

if I find it in me to have

the heart to love

The hardest thing to say,

has always been "I love to see the way

you limb back to home"

without falling apart or losing face

You once did notice,

the only protest

is keeping the gun loaded

You might still see

if I find it in me to have

the heart to love

This is why I'm afraid of the dark

and all of the demons that ride in on its shoulders

Temporary

White lights on foggy nights

Expectations, complications, understatements

made in the back of a van

Dead signs and gold lines,

The deep pines of the dark edge showing

Stop crying, we’re alive tonight

Like black lines on letter type

Time is essential from the start

In front of cars and behind old scars
All things are temporary

Like trains that pass on Holidays

Tell yourself you’ll find another

And maybe the tide won’t leave me dry

Time is essential from the start

And I thought I saw this day in a dream

But waking shows me we’re not a family

And we’re still waiting

I’m ready to walk again,

but I’m not sure if you are ready to

so let’s find out together

Light and sound bring me joy

When I think of you I explode

A new color blooms I know

I still can’t exhume her
