Progress Not Perfection

I've been entertaining thoughts on the wrongside of the bed
It's been eating me alive
You never quit
Sick obsession of mine
You've been stealing all my lines
You fuel the nightside of my mind
Where have you been all of my life?
You take the lead and I will follow
There is a fear of letting go
From back to forth into nuetral
We were the victims of despair
Out of our minds
All the time we can't control
We blamed it on the chemicals
All the moments come and passed
We swore to god we'd make it last
And as the car began to swerve
We took advantage at every turn
We were so high we thought we'd die
The panic brought us back to the light
And all the worries of yesterday
Couldn't even get in our way
We thank the gods we're still alive
No longer waiting on tomorrow
We were the kids without a care
Out of our minds
All the things we can't control
We blamed it on the whole wide world
All the moments come and passed
We swore to god we'd make it last
It took my mind a couple seconds just to breathe
When I'm alone I'm no longer haunted by the memories
All along I prayed for serenity and peace
I won't rest until the fight of pain is won and I can sleep
No one can bring me down today
No one can take who I am from me
All our lives we can't control
What's said and done is set in stone
There's time for change and room to grow
We swore to god we wanted more
All the people come and go
Some forget and others know
When they day comes to an end
We swear to god we made it last

I'd like to stop the thoughts that drive
All the hurt that speeds inside
From everything that wasn't true
I can't deny that I was blind
Forcing smiles and chasing highs
All the secrets gnawing through
Our beautiful lie
I, the pride
This selfish mind
Built to break
Love's suicide
Although our time has ended
You're you and I can't stand it
You've got that style dead up as sin
I dare to resist
Although the wounds are mended
Sometimes I think that they're just pretending
I'll never play the fool again
I live with no regret
Mouthing off for so-called just
Bite the tongue for what's been done
Draw back all the words askew
I swore that I was invincible
Big talk for a bloke busting holes in the hull
That sinking ship is now afloat
Set sail for anywhere called hope
I, the pride
That selfish mind of mind
Building up to break down
Love's homicide
In this life we always end up alone
Locked inside of the person that we own
Reaching out for something that's real
Holding on tight to the steering wheel
I live with no regret

I'm not alone
Searching for clues
Racking my brain just to find some proof
For some kind of love I've been waiting so long
Awake
I let go of my tongue in the moment of truth
This life is everything I can't afford to lose
This is my design
My heart on the line
I'm ready to learn
We're not alone
There is no excuse
There is not one damn thing we can't do
This is our hope
We've been waiting so long for life to begin
And we brace for new heights
We live like there is no tomorrow
To pain we wave goodbye
I'm ready to live
You call my name and I cannot speak
You take the air in my lungs away
You call my name and I cannot believe
That my eyes can picture a perfectly patient future
Standing right in front of me
For so long I've been sick
I no longer have to be the suffering
I hold on tight to every last second
I never have to feel that pain again

Separate

The cycle starts over
Repeats again
She swears that she's done but she can never resist
Everyday a new excuse to be made
Everyday a different game to be played
Same as it ever was
Misled attention to feed
Same as it ever was
With no direction to conceive
If I could save you from disgrace
I'd wash your tears away
This charade is getting old and it's time to separate
This charade is getting old
We need the liberation of the troubled at hearts
We need rehabilitation for this damaged world of ours
If no one cared
Our will would not be free
We all care
This charade is getting old

This Is A Rebirth

Down to the ground
The body falls
A blackout
Snow white skin
Purple lips
The medicating catalyst
Back to black
The highwire act
Heartbeat under arrest
Sirens drone
They're calling me home
Out of the nothingness
All feeling sold to the great unknown
Unconscious call to reap what I've sewn
The price of letting go
The screaming crowd
The impending shroud
The panic
Instinct on trial
Pulse out of style
The killer queen
The fleeting chance
The ambulance
The forced IV
The purge
The Cleanse
Cradle and catch
The machine
A breath of life
All systems revived
Mortality
Demons cry
Angels bless the night
Re-animated soul
Of flesh and bone
A place called home
This is a war

Nothin' But Gold

There's a full moon on the rise
There's a catcher in the rye
But you wouldn't have a clue
There's a madman in disguise
"Diamond eyes" in black and white
It's a masquerade for two
I am nothing without blue
But green is all I wanted
Darkness cuts me down to size
The sharks are now the hunted
....shit
There's a thumb hitchin' a ride
There's a junkie gettin' high
There's somebody being used
There's a prostitute for hire
There's a filthy fuckin' liar
Selfish, lonely and confused
There is a price to pay for coveting insecurities
And we all know that the bottom line is
We're all just paranoid
.....shit
We all have a shot at redemption
It doesn't matter where we've been
What' weve done
Who we've hurt
It all sucks
But the past is the past and that's where it should remain
Resentment's nothing but a ticket to an early grave
Whatever you have to say would never surprise me
Everyone's seen things that everyone else has seen
We're all the same
No one's special
It's dog eat dog
But somewhere in the fog there's a light that shines through
But people are just people so why should it be
You and I shouldn't have the same equality?
We're here and now's all that matters
And sometimes we just gotta trudge through the mud
To make it to the lake
To cleanse our souls
To clear our faces
The human race is a test
We're the best of the best
But we sure don't act like it
So give it a rest
Anyone is here for anyone
We're not alone
We're all living under the same roof that we all call home
I am nothing without all of you
Life is just our party
We're all one big family and sometimes I take that for granted
Ba-da-da-da
...cut

Malvern Nights

Sometimes we are our own worst enemies
And each road that we take can bring us to places we don't wanna be
But if we fight with everything we got
They might just end up leading us to where we're supposed to be all along
I'm waking up from this nightmare for the first and last time
I'm taking back control over my brainwashed mind
Step by step I inch closer to the finish line
Through these eyes I'm seeing things in a different light
I've tried denying
Using lies and drugs to anesthetize
I got too close to the edge and nearly lost my life
My want collided with my need and I was hypnotized
I been fighting this disease
"Ms. Abusive Love of Mine"
Up at night trying to sleep and
Praying god will get rid of the thoughts that creep in
Trying to live up to a life that's been cheapened
Making my way out of this hole that's been deepened
Tired of diving head first into the deep end
The catalyst between angels and demons
I survive myself everyday
I guess that's what they call recovery
Just for today I will be clean of the chemical ghost
No longer haunted by the memories of playing the host
No longer lonely, sad and miserable
Confused and repulsed
Behind the eyes
The spark alive
The newborn spirit exposed
You see the passion contracting
The senses re-align
The satisfaction of interaction
The natural high
My name is "I Am Who I Am and I'm All The Above"
I'm a revision of the vision I've had since day one
If I wrote you a love letter would you write back?
If I stuck up for myself would you have my back?
If I told you all my secrets would you still be mine?
If I told you I was leaving would you say goodbye?
Brought back to life
Starting to breath again
I've sacraficed for something to believe in
I've played victim to all the pain and suffering
I am the only one I've been cheating
Guided and reminded by the scars of all the time I bided
Reliance in the shape of recognizance
The size of a conscience
Piece by part I'm finding peace in this malevolent heart
Long term relief
This therapy has saved the light from the dark
In the end
You gotta keep a level head
Have faith in yourself
Don't be a slave to another dying trend
Cos' everyday when you open your eyes
You're you again
And every moment that you're alive
You get another chance

Some of my days never end
I'll never know whether we've been hopeless in love or friends with benefits
No more romancing the weekend
I stop and think of what our life had been
Perfection without all the fighting
Tonight I feel some type of way
I feel like...
Oh, how we pretend to make amends
We lie in hope and fear undressed
Temptation breeds
The same repeats
We'll be dancing with lust again
What do you need?
What do you want from me?
The cycle is neverending
I guess I'll always feel some type of way about you
I feel like...
We're at the end
Starting over again
You'll be my best friend and use me again
We're at the end
Starting over again
You are the waves always welcoming change
You're my pink cloud and I like it
I am the rope
I am the brick
I drag you down and you know that I know that you like it
I feel like...

The Way Of Closing

I know we had to let go
I didn't think it'd be so soon
I needed more time to convince you
That I could be new and improved
I said it all
You caught my bluff
With all communication cut
The desperation in me grew
Guilt, defeat, remorse and shame
One foot in regret and the other in the grave
I couldn't even find a reason to hate you
All big talk and no show
Our weakness came to be abused
I tried to avoid all the issues
But ended up hopeless, consumed
My conscience screams "there is a price to be paid"
and "Karma won't always live up to its' name"
I know I can't take back mistakes
But it's not the same without you
I'm alive and I'll survive
This is moving on without you
We served our time
We drew the line
I guess we're better off
For all the feelings never shown
To all the hurt we'd come to know
All the moments come and passed
We swore to god we'd make it last
To all the things you'd never know
For all the lies that took control
The tragic demise of our paradise
It's not the same without you
I made the change
I let go of the pain
I'm chasing all my dreams in spite of you
I know it's better
I know I'm better
I know I'm better off without you
