You can't create more time. You just make it.
If you want a new life, just take it.
And if you want to change the world, then speak real clear
And make sure someone's listening (listening)
And if you want to break my heart, then stay right here.
Yeah don't go anywhere.
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Everything comes in pieces.
Do you love me yet?
Fucking prove it.
Try to ask yourself:
Are you really different?
Know that your life is more frightening than writing a song.
It's an action of fractions you're passing along
And these oceans of emotion will crash once they hit the shore (I promise you)
And it's the closest I will get to sincerity.
Every praise I make just looks so fake and crude to me
And it's the closest I will come to purity.
Simulations never follow me.
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
My heart is made up of pieces.
Do you get it yet?
Can't you see through this?
You know all too well
You cannot make things perfect.
No, I'll be shifting through lists of these possible loves
With this pain in my brain. It feels scattered like doves
Though the sky where my eyes have been drifting towards recently
And it's the closest I can be to egocentricity.
This overwhelming sense of rejection will sneak behind and tear at me
And it'll slam me to the ground into reality
And I'll deal with my disparity.
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Don't you love me now?
Don't you love me now?
Why don't you love me now?
Why don't you love me now?
This is where I fall down shattered on the floor
As I'm swept around with a million more
Pieces of myself I once learned to lose
Though it never helped me forget the truth.
The truth.

A Death

Inevitability, you are my mother
bleeding seeds of sour lust
onto the mounds of bleeding crust
unto all that holy dust
I shall return
bathed in fire
The world is ice
But I'm the spark
That can ignite your world
I can warm you
or I can
BURN
YOU
DOWN
They tied me to the chain link fence
And beat me down--I've no defense
I always knew I'd die in...
I always knew I'd die in...
I always knew...
Impossibility, you are my father
growing limbs of odd proportion
singing psalms of all abortion
speaking truths that are factual
but dishonest
because you cannot tell the difference (no)
The world is dark
But I'm the spark
That lights the path
I can save you
or I can
DAMN
YOUR
SOUL
They tied me to the chain link fence
And beat me down--I've no defense
I always knew I'd die in...
I always knew I'd die in...
I always knew...
Impracticality, you are my brother
Raising flags to stay the army
Arming thugs who wish to harm me
Complying with Spring just to see Winter die
And take me with it
(because . . .)
The world is me
And I'm the dark
There is no life
There is no spark
You've murdered me
Everything I am
I am nothing now
You're just like them
The world is me
And I'm the dark
There is no life
There is no spark
You've murdered me
Everything I am
I am nothing now
You're just like them
The birds are bleeding upsidedown
Their feathers congeal to form my crown
And though I stand here, cruciform
I am no martyr . . .
I will not be reborn
And honestly, I'm glad of it
I can take it as a compliment
And honestly, I'm glad of it
I can take it as a compliment
And honestly, I'm glad of it
I can take it as a compliment
They tied me to the chain link fence
And beat me down--I've no defense
I always knew I'd die in... (kill me now)
I always knew I'd die in the snow (do it slow)
I always knew I'd die in the snow (in the snow)

Words Cannot Express

I want to tell you how I'm feeling.
Believe me, it's not an easy thing to do.
There lies some difficulty in explaining.
I'll do what I can. I'll just sing it to you
and it goes...
Maybe meeting up is risky.
For all we know, we're just a failure.
But until that's clear, I'll be happy
thinking that this is the hope that I've been waiting for forever
and it sounds like...

Foundation

Now you know how I feel about you.
Now you know how I feel about you.
You say you're doing this to open up your eyes, explore your mind. But doing so, you're shut off from the world.
You say you've found a solution to all of your life's problems, but you're ignoring the fact that this is not the life you know.
Now you know how I feel about you.
Now you know how I feel about you.
You're putting on your foundation to match your tone. That's what you told me, but if it were a match, you wouldn't need it at all.
You're saying that a mask is better than your pretty face. It's such a waste, but I'm not gonna try to change what you know.
Now you know how I feel about you.
Now you know how I feel about you.
You're putting on your foundation to match your tone. That's what you told me, but if it were a match, you wouldn't need it at all.
You're saying that a mask is better than your pretty face. It's such a waste, but I'm not gonna try to change what you know. (oh, oh, oh)
