Les paroles


1. SMASHED INTO PIECES

Never Again.
I'll slit my throat with the knife I pulled out of my spine.
Maybe when you find out that I'm dead,
you'll realize what you did to me.

[Chorus]
And if my lungs still let me breathe,
would you be there for me?
If I can make myself believe,
I'll give you back what you took away.

No, I won't let it go.
Douse myself in gasoline.
So don't save me when you come into the fire.
I'd rather die than have to see your smile.

[Chorus]

You made me swear (x2)
I, I can't sleep.
Realize all these things that you took from me.
Smash my heart (you made me swear)
into dust. (you made me swear)
Suffocate my mind. (you made me swear)
Tear at me from inside. (you made me swear)
Smash apart what you created.
How can i ever stop you from crushing my soul?
It was, it was yours, yours to begin with.

[Chorus]


2. RED LIGHT PLEDGE

The ending's the same,
past mistakes that you made,
come back to haunt you, you.

I made a mistake, I wish I could take,
back everything that I did.
I wanted to tell you, I really did.
But how do I explain this?

Promise me you will be there
Until the red light will change.
I would wait forever.
Promise me you will stay here
Until the darkness will fade,
I'd wait for you, you.

A mistake, wish I could take,
back everything that I did.
I wanted to tell you, I really did.
But how do I explain?

I wanted to tell you, what really happened,
but how do I explain this? How do I explain everything?

Promise me you will be there
Until the red light will change,
I would wait forever,
Promise me you will stay here
Until the darkness will fade,
I'd wait for you.

I'm the same and I'm all on my own, away.
Wait for you.
I'm the same and I'm all on my own, by myself.
Wait for you.
I'd wait for you... for you
I'd wait for you.


3. GIVING UP

I used to make the light shine for you,
The sun has left my sky.
Velvet walls surround my sorrows,
I've sacrificed my pride.

Giving up on me,
You're giving up on me
Giving up on me,
You're giving up on me.

I've laid myself to sleep tonight
I know you've played out everything in your mind.

And now you throw it all away,
A shattered memory that you would stay.
Through thick and thin with me,
You're giving up on...

Giving up on me,
You're giving up on me
Giving up on me,
You're giving up on me.

I've laid myself to sleep tonight
I know you've played out everything in your mind, your mind

And now you throw it all away
A shattered memory that you would stay
Through thick and thin with me.

And when you feel the pain,
I'm wishing I could stay.
How can I say I love you back,
You never made me happy.

You've laid yourself to sleep!
I never said this wouldn't hurt.
You gave up everything!
I never said I'd give it back.

I know! (I know!)
You'll never change!
I won't be good enough for you.
I know! (I know!)
You'll make it through,
I'll never be around to see.

And now you throw it all away
A shattered memory that you would stay
Through thick and thin with me.

You're giving up on me (x4)


4. NOVEMBER

Fragile leaves hit the ground.
The cold air drifts into my lungs.
I see your face through the fog.
Reminds me of the dreams you lost.

I can see it in your eyes.
You're broken down; your hands are tied.
I can feel it in my side.
Over and over and over I've tried.

I can see it in your eyes
You're broken down; your hands are tied.

And I know you cannot hide.
Over and over and over I've tried.

It broke my heart.

It felt so good to see you.
I've never been one to put my trust in.
When did I become so weak, or have I always been?
I can't put all this back in place.(Back in place)

I can see it in your eyes
You're broken down; your hands are tied.
I can feel it in my side.
Over and over and over I've tried.

I can see it in your eyes
You're broken down; your hands are tied.

And I know you cannot hide.
Over and over and over I've tried.

This gaping hole in my chest is filled with deceit.
I fear that all my cries fell upon deaf ears.
I caress flesh with severed nerves.
I go veiled in darkness and disease.
This November swallows me whole.
And this may be the closest thing that you'll ever receive to an apology.

I close my eyes and I can see you dead (x4)


5. LAST DAYS OF SUMMER

The bright light beams
From her eyes
Like broken glass.
Or a broken heart,
Who would have guessed?
You'd leave me here.
Beneath my eyes I feel the tears,
I hold back.

I won't leave, leave this way again.
I won't leave this way.

As my legs
They start to shake,
I feel nothing.
I wanted you, (I wanted you!)
I needed you,
But you weren't there for me this time. (There for me!)

I won't leave, leave this way again.
I won't leave this way.

You that I loved!
That I needed!
You weren't there.
Not this time!
You!

What can I do?!
I was supposed to love you!
What can I say?!

I won't leave,
What can I do?!
I was supposed to help you!
I cannot feel you!

Last breath I feel!
Warm air intake!
Last summer's day!
Last one I take!
For you!

I won't leave!
Leave this way!
I won't leave
Lost it all!
All for you!
I won't leave.

When the shadows beam!
Misery remains!
I won't leave this time.


6. BLEEDS NO MORE

My heart bleeds no more;
now, it's been turned to stone.
Your stomach feels sick for someone else.
I've broken both my legs falling for you.
Drag me on the ground.

Powerless I stand, tarnished blade, cutting through, pushed into my vein.
Blood still stains my hands.
Sharpening my sense of pain outside

My heart bleeds no more;
now, it's been turned to stone.
Your stomach feels sick for someone else.
I've broken both my legs falling for you.
Drag me on the ground.

Killing everything off inside.
Make sense of everything you tried to hide,
hide from me.

My heart bleeds no more;
now, it's been turned to stone.
My stomach feels sore from cutting up.
I ruined all my sanctity for you.
Smash me on the ground.

I wanted to,
convince myself there's nothing else to do.
I wanted to.
Provide you with proof of what you put me through.
I wanted to.
Pretend that it was you.
"you're the worst thing that's ever happened to me"
"dieee"

Killing everything off inside.
Make sense of everything you tried to hide,
hide from me.

My heart bleeds no more;
now, it's been turned to stone.
Your stomach feels sick for someone else.
I've broken both my legs falling for you.
Smash me on the ground.


7. HEAR ME OUT

When everyone has left me here,
I'll make it on my own,
Just wait and see.
Maybe if you came back down,
You'd see it happening to you,
Maybe you'd even care.

Hear me out,
I don't think you'll make it out.
Hear me out,
See the writing on the wall.

Burn your bridge and wear
Your heart out on your sleeve,
You know you won't fool me.
You made all these promises,
You broke these promises to me.
Follow your heart this time.

Hear me out,
I don't think you'll make it out.
Hear me out,
See the writing on the wall.

Did you mean all those things you said?
(Said!)
Even when you said you'd never change.
Writing you letters you never read.
(Read!)
Waste my breath on paper!
When you reflect do you
Get that feeling like you used to?
And every time you run away,
I!
Know you still have memories.

Now that you've left,
Make me feel like I'm gone.
You did all these things I hated.

So hear me out,
I don't think you'll make it out.
Hear me out,
See the writing on the wall.


8. THE WEAK AND THE WOUNDED

The end begins.
I can't escape as it pulls me
further into anesthesia.
Tear down my sense of conviction.
Corrupt my soul.

The end begins.

In my eyes. In my heart.

I have laid upon a deadman's bed, only to fall into a
trap of lies and seduction that rivals the greatest sense of love.

Play it back until the voice becomes just a sound.
Penetrate your mind with all these images of you.

I have given up an angel's kiss. Only to break apart your
path of trust and burn myself down. Struggle to the end;
I scare myself.

Play it back until the voice becomes just a sound.
Penetrate your mind with all these images of you.

The end begins.

I'd give it all to have it back.
I could have had it all in front of you all by myself.
Love in my eyes, lust in my heart.
I made it all up.
Lies, deceit empowers me, so it ends, ends.


9. WISH I COULD FORGET YOU

You won't repeat this for the rest of the crowd.
I know they will miss but you'll still feel proud.
but you'll still feel proud.
Say it's gold, say it's fine.
The secrets out that you're mine.
Say it's gold, say it's fine.
The secrets out that you're mine.
Yeah!
That you're mine!
Say it's gold, say it's fine.
The secrets out that you're mine.
The television radiates as the clock ticks on and on and on and on and on.
It's getting too late and it's time to move on. (x2)
Yeah!


10. WHEN BROKEN IS EASILY FIXED

I can resist everything except temptation.
My body breaks, I'm intact inside.
My human instinct, I can love unconditionally.

Cross my heart and lie to you
(My conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair) Failure within me.
Promise you and let you down
(Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself) Brings me to my knees.
Follow me, lead you astray
(Nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail) Loathe myself to sleep.
Your words kill me.

You can breathe without oxygen and live without sorrow.
How I envy you, though pity your ghost.
Ignorance is bliss I wish I could never love you.

Cross my heart and lie to you
(My conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair) Failure within me.
Promise you and let you down
(Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself) Brings me to my knees.
Follow me, lead you astray
(Nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail) Loathe myself to sleep.
Your words kill me.

So ironic that a heart made by man, when broken is easily fixed.
But a human hurt can last a lifetime.

Rust or decay.
The fire or the flame.
You and I will lead the path to change. (Pave the way)
(x3)


11. FRIENDS IN FALLRIVER

Your life lives half a nation away,
my heart hurts so.
I believe letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life. What did I do?
Alone and confused.
What can I say?
What can I do?
I'm heading the wrong way home.
Knowing alone is alone.
It's just too difficult to be just me instead of we.
What did I do?
Alone and confused.
What can I say?
Nothing.
I don't know where to begin since you left me for him.
I don't know where to begin and you left me for him.
I don't want to start again, and I can't be your friend.
I don't know where to begin since you left me for him.


12. FOREVER AND A DAY

I thought we'd be together forever.
But it seems I was wrong and everything's falling apart. Think of what I've done for you.
Think of all that we've been through.
I hope every time he breaks your heart you think of me
and how I was to you.
Everything has fallen apart. EVERYTHING!
One day you'll see just how good I was.
And I thought that we'd be together forever.

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they march, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
