1. HEAVEN IS HELL

There is a wind blowing in my heart,
And with my eyes I cannot see my way out of the dark.
I am a wolf in my bare feet, praying for a spark.
And as I sleep I feel the rain as it rips my throat apart.
And my paw prints are stained with blood,
I follow the moon when I can't trust the sun.

I've been unfaithful, I let these hands sink so low.
If I'm an angel, why do these wings cut my throat?
What beauty lies here in this pile of broken bones?
Without you I would never know.

There's an answer, somewhere in the sky,
But like the Earth, I will accept that every flower grows And dies,
But if you just look close enough
You will see it in my eyes..
That's Heaven's what I seek, but Hell is what I find.
And my paw prints are stained with blood,
I follow the moon when I can't trust the sun.

I've been unfaithful, I let these hands sink so low.
If I'm an angel, why do these wings cut my throat?
What beauty lies here in this pile of broken bones?
Without you I would never know.

The cigarettes, the nicotine, the alcohol, the crazy dreams
Are all the things that make me out to be so human.
Never knowing what I want, just trying to love what I got,
I don't know if I'm here or not,
I might lose it!

What the hell is it that you want from me?!
I'm losing everything!
I'm just trying to breathe..
I'm just trying to breathe..
And what is it that you want from me?
I'm losing everything!
I'm just trying to breathe.
I'm just trying to breathe!

I've been unfaithful, I let these hands sink so low.
If I'm an angel, why do these wings cut my throat?
What beauty lies here in this pile of broken bones?
Without you I would never know.


2. TIRED EYES

I woke up this morning on the right side of the bed.
Happy just to be alive, I cracked a smile through tired eyes and I got dressed.
I poured myself a coffee, smiling as I do.
Drinking and thinking of all of the places that I'll be goin soon.

I'll be on my way with one hand in my pocket
With a bag on my back and my heart in a locket.
And I'm still broke but I don't care,
Because it's who I choose to be that gets me there.

I woke up this morning with some music in my head.
Songs that sing of being alive and find the way
To spend my time without spending a dime.
So I gather the rest of my change,
I put it in a jar to save up for all of the things
That I know I can't buy with just my heart.

I'll be on my way with one hand in my pocket
With a bag on my back and my heart in a locket.
And I'm still broke but I don't care,
Because it's who I choose to be that gets me there.

I go to bed this evening with a smile on my face.
The stars are shining oh so bright,
They let me know that it's alright to stay up late.
So I write a couple love songs that make me think of you.
I know you'll miss me dearly and I'll miss you too but I'll be back so soon.

I'll be coming home with one hand in my pocket
With a bag on my back and my heart in a locket.
And I'm still broke but I don't care,
Because it's who I choose to be that gets me there. (x2)


3. BRUISE MY BONES

I'm about to fall down, fall down.
And I'm beginning to doubt,
I can't live with myself so let's drown, let's drown.
And if there's no going back..

This secret's safe with me, oh how you make me believe
That you won't say a word as long as I don't breathe.
But I've been here before and I can already tell
That I'm about to bleed all over the floor.
And I wish I'd known better than to bruise my bones.

I'm about to fall down, fall down.
And I'm beginning to doubt,
I can't live with myself
So let's drown, let's drown.
And if there's no going back,
We'll take the easy way out.

I'll give you everything when it's convenient for me.
If you don't stop my heart, I'll struggle with every beat.
My hands are tied behind my back with rope made out of what I lack.
Where the hell did I go wrong?
I'll sing with you as you proceed to bruise my bones.

I'm about to fall down, fall down.
And I'm beginning to doubt,
I can't live with myself
So let's drown, let's drown.
And if there's no going back..

I'm about to fall down, fall down.
And I'm beginning to doubt,
I can't live with myself
So let's drown, let's drown.
And if there's no going back,
We'll take the easy way out.


4. SCARS

Those scars on your wrists are the mark of the world
An ocean that's left you so torn
But remember the heart you brought into this world
The same one as when you were born

How confused you must be
Finding love in the blood that you bleed
But the truth is that I see
Why you say that 'it's hard to be me'
And we all make mistakes
Its not you, but this world you should hate
You're as beautiful as you were yesterday

And those tears in your eyes are the product of lies
You've been lead to believe that they're true
But remember the light you brought into this world
I promise it will get you through

How confused you must be
Finding love in the blood that you bleed
But the truth is that I see
Why you say that 'it's hard to be me'
And we all make mistakes
Its not you, but this world you should hate
You're as beautiful as you were yesterday


5. ANGEL'S SONG

When I woke up and smiled today,
I couldn't help but sing your name
Cause it's the first thing that came to my mind.
And before I go to sleep I pray
I will constantly remain the same and you'll always be mine.

In curing you I found the truth,
Cause you're the only person
Who understands the way that I survive.
And we walk the world in our bare feet
But we don't mind cause that's what we're about,
You know how to look pretty.

But I cannot accept anything but to give you my best.

Angel, oh angel, you have my heart,
I'll catch you when you fall down,
When you fall apart.
Angel, oh angel, you have my soul,
Cause heaven knows when two halves make a whole.

And I honestly never thought
I would find someone who thought the same,
That love is more than lust.
And I'm thankful that you realize
We will live until we die
And everything in between is up to us.
And with everything I do with you,
I know we got a point to prove,
To show the world that love is made for two.
You've got the biggest heart,
You've got the brightest eyes,
You know what it means to drop your pride.
I swear, I was made for you.

But I cannot accept anything but to give you my best.

Angel, oh angel, you have my heart,
I'll catch you when you fall down,
When you fall apart (when you fall apart).
Angel, oh angel, you have my soul,
Cause heaven knows when two halves make a whole,
When two halves make a whole.


6. INTOXICATED I LOVE YOU

And here I thought we would just be talking,
Little did I know we'd be taking chances in the closet.

You get a little drunk and you let a little loose.
I might as well shut my mouth and have a couple drinks too.
You push me up against the wall,
And I can feel your hips and the bittersweet movement of our lips.
You whisper to me, "I want you to be my first one and I want your first one to be me."

We better find a room as we stumble down the stairs.
And everybody knows but we know nobody cares.
You shorten my breath and you lay down on the floor.
I remember everything but I forgot to lock the door.

And you, my dear, are so sincere with the way you're breathing.
And your eyes are bright, my chest is tight.
We both know this isn't right, this isn't right.

We stumble through the door and you're holding my hand
And all of our friends won't let us live it down.
And I was so proud to finally be a man,
But little did I know that this was nothing but a one night stand, oh.

And you, my dear, are so sincere
With the way you're breathing.
And your eyes are bright, my chest is tight.
We both know this isn't right, this isn't right.

Now you're screaming, "I don't love you and I never did.
You're just a number in my pocket so get the hell over it."(x6)

So get the hell over it.


7. THE POET

Somewhere deep down in my heart,
There's a poet, and a liar.
They are juxtaposed more than the sun and the moon,
Yet they find a way to work together.
And with every word that I say, they are writing and conspiring.
How the hell can we just make it worse?
Kiss the girl that you love, then you hurt her...
For some reason I can't seem to shake
Oh, this feeling I get that I'm drifting away from true love..

Oh, if I could rip my heart in two,
Then I'd give you the half you deserve.
And just always remember I honestly would die for you.
'Cause I couldn't live without you.

And I tried so hard not to be what I saw growing up,
But that only made me into a rabid dog, baring its teeth.
Not the man I hoped I'd grow to be.
Two steps closer, I'm six steps back,
And I bring you down with me...
Oh, it tears me apart, yeah, it honestly does,
Just to know that I made it all worse.
For some reason I can't seem to shake
Oh, this feeling I get that I'm drifting away from true love..

Oh, if I could rip my heart in two,
Then I'd give you the half you deserve.
And just always remember I honestly would die for you.
'Cause I couldn't live without you.
