We've heard this story before, a boy and a girl
A fire in the soul and a death in the heart
Three toxic words, one sentence buries us all
Two years to murder the only love I’d ever come to know
Let’s break free from our script tonight
I know you thought you had alibis
What made you think that you could take what little I could give to you?
Didn’t your words mean anything?
I'm holding on to memories I chose to imagine of you
So we kept moving in and out of our lives
One fuck, one argument. Anything to make it feel right
Just look me in the eyes, can you do that this time?
Don't improvise the reasons why i sit alone in the bed
Your faithless body's ruined
Hold me one more time, and you can sing me to sleep
What made you think that you could take what little I could give to you
Didn’t your words mean anything?
Im holding on to memories I chose to imagine of you
You were all that I wanted, you were all that I needed
And now you’re gone.
You were all that I wanted, you were all that I needed
It’s all your fault.
I wish I'd never met you
(Maybe I could think straight)
I wish I'd never trusted you
(Maybe I could be sane)
I've sat and played through that scene over a million times
My best friend and the one I loved - arm in arm in our bed sheets
You have my mind in a web
My spider queen I've wept (please take me!)
I should have let you leave your venom underneath my skin
Maybe I could have found the antidote
You were all that I wanted, you were all that I needed
And now you’re gone.
You were all that I wanted, you were all that I needed
It’s all your fault.
You were all that I wanted, you were all that I needed
And now you’re gone.
You were all that I wanted, you were all that I needed
It’s all your fault.

Tears fading under eyes and I haven't seen light
since you let me go, but I try
Oh Heaven knows I try to find a way to survive
The night in the cold where shame will hold me close
How did I end up this way?
It was only yesterday that I played in the rain
But now I swear to God my bedsheets are the only place thats safe
But only for so long
So many thoughts of death that I can't get out of my head
Graveyard figures watch my every step and
Time is the only thing that keeps me bound to this earth
The clocks ticking down And I can't handle the speed (of it)
How did I end up this way?
It was only yesterday that I played in the rain
But now I swear to God my bedsheets are the only place thats safe
But only for so long
I'm Transparent like the voice inside of me
Louder than the storms, my thoughts are flooded
The thunder of my lightning heart
Im drowning in the crashing tides
This never-ending story’s no more than sand within an hourglass
That will never countdown a single moment again
(Can you feel it?
The time in your hands
Running out
Like sand in an hourglass
Do you feel it?
Gone in the moment through your fingers
Like our yesterday’s
Do you feel it slipping through your hands?)

A Thousand Thoughts

Tried to be perfect but all my imperfections keep on ruining me
(Locking the door to healing)
Looked out of windows at what could have been but I can't change a thing, no I cant change a thing
(I've thought a lot about leaving)
A thousand thoughts take me and I can't say a word
I'm dying to speak would someone give me a reason to?
A thousand thoughts take me and I can't find my voice
I'm dying to tell you how I feel but I can’t figure it out
Won't someone give me a sign? Cause I'm broken and I'm torn apart
My heads a mess, I’m a divided guest in this shell and I've,
I’ve often wandered what it would be like to leave this world behind and take a chance amongst the stars tonight
A thousand thoughts take me and I can't say a word
I'm dying to speak would someone give me a reason to?
A thousand thoughts take me and I can't find my voice
I'm dying to tell you how I feel but I can’t figure it out
Sun light comes and I shy away to play the victim when darkness hunts
Am I ashamed? Or ready to end the game I never chose to play
Cause I've already lost, Everything about myself, is trapped within a maze
No map, No lights, No hope, No chance, But just a finish line of fear Take me by the hand as my heart lays trembling
A thousand thoughts take me And I can't say a word
I'm dying to speak would someone give me a reason?
A thousand thoughts take me and I can't find the words
I'm dying to speak would someone give me a reason to?
A thousand thoughts take me and I can't find my voice
I'm dying to tell you how I feel but I can’t figure it out
A thousand thoughts take me, and I am losing it
I'm dying to find an answer to why I keep suffering
A thousand thoughts take me, I keep slipping away
I'm dying to be a better man but I am ‘just a coward’

In the Movies

I hoped for more years Before I lost it
But three years has been My destruction
Strong and stable like the ground at my feet
That's how I used to be Before I fell in too deep
Dead and buried before my end
Lost in my head I swear your still here
Digging for answers in the fields of my long lost mind
Wondering why it took so long for you to take my life
I feel like I'm in a movie
Cause nothing this messed up could ever be real Surely? Surely not
Have you ever lived a nightmare
Instead of living the dream?
I feel like I'm in a movie and it's the final scene
The walls come crumbling down on our heads
I built this safe haven and now it claims us
She said she would be my end to this pain
But now I am torn, between heaven and hell
The lines I spoke are now left unrehearsed on my desk
Just to feel wanted, I burned every word I said
I feel like I'm in a movie
Cause nothing this messed up could ever be real Surely? Surely not
Have you ever lived a nightmare
Instead of living the dream?
I feel like I'm in a movie and it's the final scene
The credits start to run and everything goes black
Why isn't my name on that list? Did I not take part in this horror? I built for myself
Everything is an illusion, nothing is reality x2
I feel like I'm in a movie
Cause nothing this messed up could ever be real Surely? Surely not

An aftermath, a shovel and a corpse; A broken man with hidden truths
They search for a missing girl (x2) that they will never find
Her boyfriend has gone into hiding or so they think
He’s really as close to her as he has ever been and his heart was stronger than you think
But weakened by her carelessness
(The death of all they knew)
Now that we have put the past behind
We can live together side by side
Until we're finally found
I’d love you dead or alive
An argument had gotten out of hand
Red wine spilt from her wound
The gun in my hand wasn't meant to be loaded I swear to you
I told you this love would be the death of us both
you never listened, you never felt it
(Oh, what a tragedy)
Now that we have put the past behind
We can live together side by side
Until we're finally found
I’d love you dead or alive
I’d love you dead or alive (x3)
I'd love you dead
I left a space so you could see the statues high above you
The hole beside you let’s me hold you a while
Whilst the same gun that had broken our deal is loaded one more time Within this chamber; ’til death do we part
Now that I've scattered my thoughts
Between our homes in the mud
The gun still cradles what is left of the mind that I had lost
I told you I would die for this, that this love could kill
And now that we are side by side
I can finally keep my promise
