Lyrics


Goodbye Forever
Take your wings outside, you can't fly in here
Besides, a purple sky is better soaring for you my angel
You're angel, you little devil
As for me I'll stay inside
I'll be just fine and I'll watch from the window.

Cannot categorize the nature of this sickness
a miracle that you're alive
Stuck to the roof of my mouth with a staple.
Remember last april when we saw u.s. maple?
Somehow the singer showed the fireside exactly how i feel.

And we say goodbye, and go underground
Or up towards the sky, up in smoke, burnt down to size.
At least we're still friends.
At least we're still alive.

Take your wings outside,
No use for them in here.
Bad luck to open inside, work like umbrellas, like a broken mirror.
It's getting clearer
The end is closer than ever before and you'll want nothing more
Then your head hits the floor, and you're lost in the darkness.

And we say goodbye and go underground
Or up towards the sky,
Up in smoke, burnt down to size
At least we're still friends
At least we're still alive

And we say goodbye and go underground
Or up towards the sky,
Up in smoke, burnt down to size
At least we're still friends
At least we're still alive

This Is Getting Over You
Today I woke up,
Younger than I've been in years
Not concerned with what's outside
And peers, I don't have any
No one is my equal because I'm the king of rain
Controlling with my moodswings,
Throw a thunderstorm your way, way
Drowning girls is a game I play

Today I woke up,
More awake than I have felt in years
Not concerned with anything, no tears
Well I'm done with that shit
No one is your equal because you're the queen of pain
Controlling with my mood temps,
Staring at my shoes while running away, way

Drowning myself is a game I play
Drown myself away
Drown myself away, away
Goodbye

This is getting over you
This is getting over you
This is getting over you
This is getting over you

This is getting over you
(I'm not tired of getting over you)
This is getting over you
(I'm not tired of getting over you)
Getting over you
(I'm not tired of getting over you)
This is getting over you
(I'm not tired of getting over you)
This is getting over you
(I'm not tired of getting over you)
Getting over you
(I'm not tired of getting over you)
This is getting over you
(I'm not tired of getting over you)
This is getting over you.

Bleeder
You came to me like a dream, the kind that always leaves
Just as the best part starts, it ends so abruptly
And leaves you stunned and naked in your bedroom all alone
It's kinda funny how something so soothing gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone
And you broke me like the cigarette that I busted on the day I quit
But now that I've been drinking,
I'm outta smokes and I wish that I had it
Woke up to my daily headache
And the realization that you are gone
Oh my sweet darling happiness
you've been away from me all along

One thing that I've never said, I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
A lonely liver suspended in liquid

You came to me like a dream, the kind that always leaves
Just as the best part starts, it ends so abruptly
And leaves you stunned and naked in your bedroom all alone
It's kinda funny how something so soothing gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone

One thing that I've never said,
I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
A lonely liver suspended in liquid.
Its one thing that I never did was smile
Missing a case, lacking a lid

My heart bleeds for what you never did
You never did
For what you never did
Never did
For what you never did
Never did
Never did
Never did
You never did
You never did

It's one thing that I've never said,
I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
A lonely liver suspended in liquid
Its one thing that I never did was smile
Missing a case, lacking a lid
My heart bled for what you never did until now

I Lied My Face Off
Well, it's not fair,
It's not even close
You tied me down,
Where i'm forced to watch as you poke holes in every part of me
Containing something secretly
Something sacred to me

I lied my face off
When i said
That i would be okay
It's never fine when you go away
These cuts run deep
These scars are permanent and always on display
This makes things difficult for me

It's not fair,
It's not even close
You fed me the sun
Burned me up inside
And watched me choke on everything we did
On everything we lived
Let's see if i can live again

I lied my face off
When i said
That i would be okay
It's never fine when you go away
These cuts run deep
These scars are permanent and always on display
This makes things difficult for me
Head like an empty, sterile room
Somehow i made a mess
Like watching newborn babies crack from work related stress
Head like an empty sterile room
Somehow i made a mess
Like watching newborn babies crack from work related stress
I'm bad luck,
Can't fuck
Got no reflection today
Maybe i'll stay down next time
I get hit by a train
By a train
I lied my face off
When i said
That i would be okay
It's never fine when you go away
