I can feel the ghost leaving the building With that we can call it a death Your life with lovers in the wings But here's all the blood's left The feeling it's coming That there is a truth between the lines And nothing that can be so kind Gonna be pushed out into orbit Can't wait to hear the sounds vacate That I've been nothing but worthless In exile I'm leaving but I'll wait The feeling it's coming That there is a truth between the lines And nothing that can be so kind These nights were falling asleep at the wheel Giving up and giving in until the fever heals These days are counting down Could it be so true? I can't see anything in front of me But I can see you leave The love that was lost It goes right out the window Strangle the present from the past With no expectations to last Giving up before it goes right down the drain The love that comes with a wandering eye The love that comes with wondering why That there's a truth between the lines The love that comes with a wandering eye The love that comes with wondering why That there's a truth between the lines These nights were falling asleep at the wheel Giving up and giving in until the fever heals These days are counting down Could it be so true?

Wasn't this home before? I don't recognize it anymore Because it seems like such a long time ago The weeks and months that go by Its these times that I try But it's all long gone that I've known This was so much fun I couldn't say no This was so much fun You could say so It's been a hell of a time Reliving our past lives Because it feels like such a long time ago Now with the rendevous To keep up with our youth Because it's something that I've only known This was so much fun I couldn't say no This was so much fun You could say so She said it was an easy sell To be friends to be lovers And all the times we never said it worked We somehow have one another Wasn't that the truth Wasn't it the hard way around To be the one left standing Wasn't this home before? I don't recognize it anymore Because it seems like such a long time ago The weeks and months that go by Its these times that I try But it's all long gone that I've known This was so much fun I couldn't say no This was so much fun You could say so She said it was an easy sell To be friends to be lovers And all the times we never said it worked We somehow have one another Wasn't that the truth Wasn't it the hard way around To be the one left standing

Can only give the truth In everything I say But you needle for more more more In every possible way It's a mouth that moves At unspeakable speed It's the times it loses When your heart leaves To us it's all falling down the drain The last goodbye it's our last refrain And the time had come That we knew was coming The fairy tale ending Had left the building It's not what stopped But what we forced along The little things lost The love that won't belong To us it's all falling down the drain The last goodbye it's out last refrain And I can break that trust And I can break those fingertips And I can break your trust And I can break your fingertips And I can break your trust And you can break my fingertips To us it's all falling down the drain The last goodbye it's our last refrain

These words that spill out Will have no meaning unless we follow them It's a sad statement to make And we'll never do each other right Between all the happy days Come the unforgiving angry nights So it's these words that come That say to us it's the end There's an ending to start anew To gain we have to lose These words that spill out Fall on our sleepy minds To roost until daylight Where we can think again and find ourselves open To what must start when As we both think back On what was the signs There's an ending to start anew To gain we have to lose

Heartbeat 05:00
There are days of great supply That I feel that were wasted away And these times I never felt it Should have known would have been easier than this The life it's coming back to me now Of all the years waiting on the outside All the nights that came to pass I always thought they'd be behind me Until I find myself staring at the ceiling It came again with that sinking feeling The life it's coming back to me now Of all the years waiting on the outside It's been a lot of silence and a lot of anger And nothing ends in a bang just a whimper But everyone can lie to themselves Just like I can lie to myself And you can change it change it all change it all Make than it all better than it once was And you can change it change it all change it all Make it go back to when it once was love And you can change it all on me

The New 05:22
I'm no longer able to handle The trespasses that we stay As time goes on There's a bed of mistakes that we laid And I send you away without a fair shake In the time of my ruin I feel this is nothing In the time of my ruin But I'm moving on Have to accept that The bonds between us will never be the same Maybe someday we'll grow ourselves And find the right way I see it now it's been a long wait In the time of my ruin I feel this is nothing In the time of my ruin But I'm moving on There is no easy way out of here Because when you're in love You'll believe that everything Will be fine And it will In the time of my ruin I feel this is nothing In the time of my ruin But I'm moving on

In Principle 06:05
Five long years we fight And it only feels like it's been a day The mood hasn't gone into the night The feelings have refused to change Spend all this time away From the distance that came together It wasn't meant to be this way But it could have been a bigger distaster And the sun will go down On these sad old days There's always a catch with the ire or the wrath Because I feel like it's looking over my shoulder In the night I never think about the consquences I well I don't mean to hurt you I meant it And the sun will go down On these sad old days Because when the sun goes down The times begin to change And the skies that collect all the dark clouds To the nights that I waste Will it be here Can I find a change Can I find anything to make this okay
8.
And as the days pass by I wonder where I'll gain a normal life Seeing all my thought in the skyline So far away from my mind It's always gonna be this way It's always gonne be the same And as the night takes my hand Leads me further than Anywhere I really want to go I think I can call this I think I can call this home In the weeks that come They'll go just like the rest of them Short and sweet to long and dumb But they'll all heal these wounds And hearts will all bloom soon In the nights of solitary Of all alone and weary It's gonna be okay It's gonna be okay I swear
