Oh well i think it would be better if our stars were more aligned. If i was in your mind could've read it in your eyes. Cause i never saw it comin from how you touched me when we met. Your words were soft as silk but full of poison at the tips. Hey hey. Don't you even care at all? Hey hey. Don't you even remember when you used to call? Hey hey. Yeah you used to call, yeah you used to call. X2 Oh well i think it would be better if you had never crossed my path. You put a bullet in my chest i should have looked in to the math. Call me foolish, call me stupid, call me something. I only wanna hear your voice again somewhere other than my head.

Last call. She's headed out. Your time is runnin. Its runnin out She takes a glance, up at you now. You fuck it up. Stare at the ground. And now he's takin his chance, he walks across the floor. He's takin her out to dance and maybe home for more. You should try to move but your legs don't work. You're such a coward, such a coward for her. I should've danced, should've danced with her all night. Last call. She's headed out. Your time is runnin. Its runnin out. She takes a chance. Walks towards you now. You're freezin up. Starin at the ground. Now she's sayin your name and she's movin in close. With her hand on your thigh shes says she wants you the most. You should try to move but your legs don't work. You're such a coward, such a coward for her. I should've danced, should've danced with her all night

Darling 03:25
Delicate hands on a motionless body. With skin that seems so infinite, heaven-sent, trembling at every touch. You would think it was poetry if i could write it down in calligraphy. For every one to read. Oh god, whats gotten in to me? Im spinnin into circles tyrina catch my breath. Avoiding the cliches that pop up in my head. Im trying hard to fight it but my nerves are dead. Im slowly losing focus in my vision. Baby, what have done to me? A painting of our sin is all that i can see. Our bodies tangled close shifts us into one. Well i guess you won, yeah i guess you won. Oh Darling, you're full of ecstasy. Pullin on my clothes and slowly touching me. I'd gladly lay you down to my one defeat. Its how you get to me, its how you get to me. A poison that feels as good as it works. A manicured hand delivers the good. It doesn't sting it doesn't hurt as it should. Her lips pressed close up to my ear. A whisper ,"Hello, how've you been my dear? Would you like to relive our tragedies with me here?"

You're drowning in the deep end. And no one taught you how to swim. And all your friends no they cant hear you, as you're calling out to them. But oh don't worry. The worlds not ending for us. Just you instead. And all you have to do is just keep your cool and don't lose your head. Don't lose your head. You're losin all your hope now. And you slowly start to see that your god no he can't hear you. Or he's ignoring all your screams. But oh don't worry the worlds not ending for us. Just you instead. So fill your heart with the faith that you were taught. And try not to lose your head. Don't lose your head.

Give Me Up 04:45
Hey, you can be on your way. The city lights are callin out your name. But your soul is begging you to stay. No, don't follow your heart. Its filled with demons and my ghost, it'll lead you right back to my door. Look up, look up, look up. Expect an empty space. And you wont see my face. Cause ill be long gone. Oh, you can be on your way. Don't cry, don't write, and don't call. Don't drive, don't fly, and don't walk. Don't hold on hope for me. Just let me fade away. Look up, look up, look up. Expect an empty space. And you wont see my face. Cause ill be long gone. Oh, you can be on your way.
