well in case you failed to notice
in case you failed to see
this is my heart bleeding before you
this is me down on my knees... ~foolish games

please don't say i love you those words touch me much too deeply
and they make my core tremble
don't think you realize the power you have over me... ~near you always

i'm half alive but i feel mostly dead
i try and tell myself it'll be alright
i just shouldn't think anymore tonight.. ~you were meant for me

my bones are tired daddy
i don't get enough sleep
i don't eat as good as i could daddy
what's that say about me?...
sometimes i want to rip out your throat daddy
for all those things you said that were mean
gonna make you just as vulnerable as i was, daddy...
sometimes i want to bash in your teeth, daddy
gonna use your tongue as a stamp
gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine daddy
go ahead and psycho-analyze that... ~daddy

and you try to find yourself
in the abstractions of religion
and the cruelty of everyone else...
and you wake up to realize
your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive...
when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw... ~deep water

but i've been down so long
ooh it can't be longer still
i've been down so long
that the end must be drawing near... ~down so long

i'm afraid i am alone
wont somebody please hold me, release me
show me the meaning of mercy...
super paranoid, i'm bleeding, i'm burning,
i'm bleeding into the scenery
loving someone else is always so much easier
but i hold myself hostage in the mirror
but if you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
i'm tired of feeling this way... ~barcelona

no longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from... ~life uncommon

inside my skin there is this space
it twists and turns
it bleeds and aches
inside my heart there's an empty room
it's waiting for lightning
it's waiting for you
and i am waiting
and i am needing you hear
inside this absence of fear... ~absence of fear
