did you see that perfect star that used to shine so bright for us? i guess like everything it fades because nothing gold can stay. We sat like statues waiting for a lucky break that never came. It never came, but i still keep waiting. And if you see me with your stupid fucking smile, just keep walking. We can reminisce about the better times, there will always be a tie that binds. But in the end, it's still the same, i hate your fucking guts but i can't forget your face.

Convince me that you'll leave your presence here, but you can't fool yourself as you move on like all the rest. and if you think i'm naive about reality, go fuck yourself, because i'm not, and we can keep it clear and plain. You and i will never stand the same, because i cannot be silenced by your superficial apathy Your saying what you think i want to hear. I'll still be chasing all those lonely days away, while you've moved on. You think its sad, but its the one true thing that i have left, you'll never take it from me. Open up your eyes and let me in, its not what i do, its who i am.

You keep on searching for that person your not ashamed to be, too bound by everyone else's bullshit philosophy Why not try to figure out what makes a man a man? instead of building up this wall of lies that breaks away like sand. Why not try to break the chains that hold you down? you can't change, thats the fucking way it is.

I still remember all those empty winter nights, when the thought of giving in was the same as giving up. And eyes were locked as fleeting glances told the story of an unexpected meeting between bodies in the rye. We held our heads, in that same place, hoping day would never break. There are purposes and passions and we found ourselves alone, alone can mean so many different things but how could we have known? if you hold onto the moment it can get you through the night, sometimes you close your eyes to see the light. we held our heads, in that same place, hoping day would never break. And we wrote our names in the wet cement, never truly knowing what forever meant. I still believe in you, do you still believe in me? we'll hold our heads above these clouds of misery. Each breath could be my last, so save your memories, i can't let you forget you have the eyes to save me. Each breath could be my last, so save your memories, i can't let you forget.

What the fuck are you gonna do when reality's not just a point of view? when the water that your treading gets washed away and your searching for the sun at the end of the day. You'll never see that truth until it gets shoved down your fucking throat. You'll keep on begging me with both of your fucking hands out. When did you respect yourself? you say you did but its hard to believe you find it in yourself to keep on living like a failure. You'll never see that truth until it gets shoved down your fucking throat. you'll keep on begging me with both of your fucking hands out. Open up your eyes, its a new day, a smart man learns from other's mistakes. You take it all for granted as you watch your hopes and dreams just pass you by. This world is gonna eat you alive.

She pulls the veil back from her face. Entranced in misery and grace, is there a punctured heart to solidify my thought? You still don't believe. I try to strike it from my mind, but it keeps coming back, just like a knife against my throat. I try to strike it from my mind, but it keeps coming back, and i can't fucking breathe. Did you mean it when you said forever? because i think i did. And every day's another sanguine memory of a life once led.

Someone Else 00:49
Another chance, another try to make you whole again. You've been running circles around yourself, can't place the blame on someone else. Another mess, you fucked it up again, your standing on the edge of all the things you left behind. Can you tell me would your life be better, if you awoke as someone else?

Storybook 01:10
Tell me why i can't make up my own fucking mind about what you believe? you can't even answer one simple question about the things you base your life on. Is it wrong for me to wonder why your wasting so much time? i try and try to understand you but your too far gone. Tell me why you choose to base your life on judging everyone except yourself? you say you've got the keys to life but your wasting so much fucking time. Is it wrong for me to wonder why your wasting so much time? i try and try to understand you but your too far gone. Is it wrong for me to wonder what the fuck is wrong with your head? we're all still searching for that fucking place to belong. If your right then i guess i'm fucked, but with my last fucking breath i'll be holding my head up. And if your wrong then you wasted so much time, and thats all we have left.

whats the point of all this back and forth between us man? its obsolete, and you still say you understand I hope you don't look back with a bittersweet regret at all the times when you bit the feeding hand. You teach from stone cold lessons, i want to learn from something more. I want to reach for substance, i want to learn from something more. But its so hard to come to terms with an emptiness that cannot be replaced by a million times of thats the way it is. I will not give up on what grows stronger everyday inside this heart, inside of everything i am. Inside of everything i am, this heart will never die.

Still Remain 01:22
Why did you have to change? After all those promises you made. I still remember when you told me you could not be broken, now you can't look me in the face. Those words you said forever...meant nothing. Did you ever think about tommorow? or were you only living for today? Did you ever wonder if those words you said would quickly fade away? well i won't forget. Forever. I'll stay the same, i watch the faces change, so many come and go, but i still remain.
