well you held me up by your teeth
young thing
you’re not letting go
but I’m letting go
I’m letting go
staring at the candles that flicker by my bedside
brightening your bloodshot eyes
wearing makeup on your dress spouting the same old weary lines
a tired heart, who let you in the back door?
you don’t live here anymore
a tired heart, who let you in the back door?
I don’t know where to start
I don’t know where
when you open up that door
you’ll see all you wanted to say
is “I need you more than I need myself”
a tired heart, who let you in the back door?
you don’t live here anymore
a tired heart, who let you in the back door?
lie to me one last time
I don’t know where to start
just say you won’t
I don’t know where
the wax starts to sink the light, and the only life is from the stereo
breathing lullabies about when things were clear inside your mind
I’m not your home
you’re on your own
these visions from the past won’t keep you warm
you’re just another relic living on my bedside
let me go, let me go
a tired heart, who let you in the back door?
you don’t live here anymore
a tired heart, who let you in the back door?
lie to me once last time about the times you said it hurt the worst
just say you won’t
give up on yourself

I won’t hold my breath for you
as you dive into this tomb
you’re digging your own grave
in the hourglass its moments away
you sank those ships with no consequence
and you drowned yourself to keep an anxious audience
what’s in your blood stream
can’t find me echoing the sound
what’s in your bad dreams
can’t find what won't be found
what will you see?
phantoms in me?
there’s nothing on the other side
what if you sink?
what if you swim?
fathoms below death’s undertow
until your eyes are open wide
and all you see is crystal white
you’re not a god
there’s not a god
to save you from oblivion
and I won’t sleep tonight
you’re taking me to places
I don’t wanna go anymore
where will you be the morning after?
when all is said and done?
where will you be the morning after?
when I’m the only one left alive

Broken Shades

these four walls will never be enough
to hide yourself from the rest of us
take me home, let me go
from this scenery, forget every part me
and when you glance through these broken shades and decide
what to take or leave behind like a thief in the night
I’m still left here in a vacant room, a shattered shell of what it used to be
Like a brother with your disguise
but your monsters come out at night
take me home, let me go
from this scenery, but leave every part me
and when you stare through these broken shades and decide
what to take and leave behind like a thief in the night
I’m still left here in a vacant room, a shattered shell of what it used to be
And when you turn from those broken shades and decide
that what you took was once mine, like a thief in the night
I’m still left here in a vacant room, a shattered shell of what it used to be

I’m tired of having another late night indecision,
or feeling early morning regrets to explain again to my sober side
but then you scream,
then you scream, you scream, you scream and shout
run me ragged till the threads run out
since you left here, I’m all alone
I know, you can’t wait to say goodbye
I’ve got things I’d like to say
when you can give me the time of day
it’s no help dear, since you’ve gone
I know, you can’t wait to say goodbye
slipping in and out of consciousness
maybe I should give my mouth a rest
but you said
I’ve spent
all of my best years
making mistakes
but I swore to god, you swore to god it was okay
oh it’s not your place to hold my head up anymore
I never meant to be your responsibility
in your dark room you’re safe from me
but you captured something you can’t just filter out
since you left here, I’m all alone
I know, you can’t wait to say goodbye again
I’ve got things I’d like to say
when you’ve got the time,
when you’ve got the time I’ve got fucking time
since you left here, I’m all alone
I know, you can’t wait to say goodbye
we spent time framed in galleries surrounded by your pretty pictures
our portrait fell apart

I’m waking up
before this sunrise leaves my room
I’ve given up
on these broken thoughts of you
I know we tried
I know we tried to say what we wanted to say but
then we cried
crying out, please don’t forget what I’m about
I am drowning in your disappointments
this stagnant water, that fills the room
I’m giving up these hopes and dreams for anything you want me to be
it’s the same to me, but I’ll get over it
then we’ll cry,
crying out,
“Now! now! now!
don’t be so proud, dear”
“It’s what we’re laughing about, it’s what we’re screaming about”
and I’ll let go again,
and I don’t know again
I’m standing here but I’m miles away
working through my hazy head
with sleeping hands
that can’t get a hold of me
and this lump in my throat
I sing
to this empty bottle,
on bloodied knees
just listen to me
I hope you’ll listen to me
