how did you not receive the message yet? i must need to send a telegraph dashes and dots gave way to bits and bytes it's still the same just a different size escapes the naked eye nothing left to do nothing left to lose i still can't get through how did you not get what i sent before? i must resort to learning semaphore with a white flag i flail my hands around you think i'm waving as i drown so no i'm not around nothing left to do nothing left to lose nothing left to do i'm not getting through

i'm coming home and you are not i guess i'll go to my room to rot but wait, hold on, that empty spot there's something there in the garage the car is blue! with jealousy, my glare was at the ones who had the things i lacked but watch out now, i'm coming back looks like it's time to take a lap guess it's going down wait, who's that you've found? oh well, guess i'll see you around i'm coming home, and you are not i guess i'll go to my room to rot but wait, hold on, i'll fill that spot it's time to show off what i got!

when i left your basement i never planned ahead enough to find a good replacement and a place to dump my stuff to you tried to tell me it was true tell me some new place to go you're telling me i ought to know it's taken me a while to see just what life is all about i know the years all pile i know the funds i stuffed are running out now, can't admit that i'm about to drown

the nights are just passing us by like any day we could die but the old say we're young check ID's check my jeans for my keys been at it since we were teens but haven't learned to have fun do your best friends know how you talk about them? does her boyfriend know that all we did was we slept? let your girlfriend know when the night is a mess i'll just watch the show cause i know what comes next another fight cause you're both in the right i used to try to be light but now my view is dim to cut through we really need something new but they won't listen to you and you won't listen to them getting wasted! do your best friends know how you talk about them? does her boyfriend know we never even had sex let your girlfriend go when the night is a mess i'll just watch the show cause i know what comes next

the methodists are coming! they come from far and nigh! the methodists are coming! from continents they fly! there's really not much time! i hope they change their minds! there's really not much time! i hope they change there

they flew in crossing every sea to decide who had the right to freely be everyone's watching through their screen to shake their heads and plan their exits from the scene and we've been waiting on and on to find a place where we belong and we've been waiting on and on now look at where the time has gone they came proclaiming "no more guilt" and to vet who they'd let in the walls they built a few stood silent in protest they said to keep it down, stop making such a mess and we've been waiting on and on to find a place where we belong and we've been waiting on and on now look at where the time has gone

i had gotten over you now i've forgotten what to do my feelings are not through took a year to let you go my heart beating hasn't slowed still want you for my own all my friends are now your friends i won't tell to none of them never change the way we are both of us have gone so far i had gotten over you now i've forgotten what to do my feelings are not through

if we could just pretend nothing ever went down then that'd be great but i lost and you won you hold all the power anyway you pat my head and said that things would get better when you're to blame how can i go where i used to now that i know that everything's changed? much has happened since you been out they've already found the new sound take the place of what we put down they've already found the new sound

a summer kiss so check that off the list of things i fear i might be missing my phone buzz my instinct is to run and hold tight to time that i'm not giving cause i can't fall for you the way that i used to i can't fall for you it's not something i do anymore but lately i've been bored all my friends with story's happy ends i don't know why i keep on reading turn love divine to a fight for what is mine it's my own voice that keeps repeating that i can't fall for you.... your tiny frame packs a lot of flames but i fear burning more than freezing i pull away just as you want to play and it's my fault that you are leaving
10.
i'm tired of the waste and all the little pay a living i can't scrape and dream to run away but if i don't just fade i'm really just afraid i'll burn out in a blaze of embers hiding rage my shoulders start to tense my brow begins to sweat drowning for a breath the flood inside my head the world begins to spin faster than it is i ought to reach for help but instead i make a fist as the signals start to blur i see another world no more suffer undeserved the perpetrators hurt make it to the top throw the man to the ground as he falls his money flies to the ones he's keeping down! hey, what you keep saying start to sound crazy but the world's gone mad for better or worse (heaven and hell) go hand in hand the things i've always dreamed and the thoughts i've always had if somehow we escape to find a better place i hope it's not the war that everybody claims as i look out to the shore from my six figure ride who'd i have to run down to take what is now mine the desert holds a bar the sky is crimson ink a woman turns around to order the same drink the jekyll to my hyde the bonnie to my clyde we kick a barricade and they won't take us alive! i will hold you tight and keep you close until the ride is over or at least tonight i just need a place no force for change but an invitation to love against hate
