×Ruthless×

This is the only lonely picture
waiting on my floor
littering my shore
this is the last true burning letter
given to a girl
written by a boy
living in a world created to destroy

but if i built you a city, would you let me
would you tear it down?

but there you go for the last time
i finally know now what i should have known then
that i could still be ruthless if you'll let me
but there you go and i'm not done
you're waving goodbye, but atleast youre having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me

this is the ghost that kneels before me
raises on her tongue, a body full of oxygen
it wont be the last time she'll ignore me
the thinning of my skin, without the strength to go
the winter's setting in, to cover you in snow

but if i built you a city, would you let me
would you tear it down?

but there you go for the last time
i finally know now what i should have known then
that i could still be ruthless if you'll let me
but there you go and i'm not done
you're waving goodbye, but atleast youre having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me
forget me
forget me, yeah

ill raise towers and cloud them
rivers and walk them
oceans to drown in
you won't make a sound

but there you go for the last time
i finally know now what i should have known then
that i could still be ruthless if you'll let me
but there you go and i'm not done
you're waving goodbye, but atleast youre having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me

×Not What It Seems×

A long day
If ever these questions were yours what would you say
you don't know
but I'm writing the answers on cheap paper napkins
and now he's turning off
and now she's shutting down
and it's not what it seems
nothings the same when you give it away
no its not what it seems
it's just what you think it is
and these fights
they climb through my veins like its mecury rising
and these nights
I seem to remember a home that was better
and now he's turning off
and now she's shutting down
and its not what it seems

nothings the same when you give it away
no its not what it seems
its just what you think it is
and now he's turning off
his family's breaking down
and it's not what it seems
nothings the same when you give it away
no it's not what it seems
its just what you think it is its just what you think it is
no its not what it seems
nothings the same when you give it away
no its not what it seems
it's just what you think it is just what you think it is
it's just what you think it is
what you think it is

×She Paints Me Blue×

Tonight I watch the lights go out in your house
Wondering how I could get so deep
And you can still get to sleep
In vain I blame my trembling on the cold air
And I can't hide that I relied on you
Like yellow does on blue

And your my good feeling, I'm kneeling
Inside her room she paints me blue
And you are my reason for breathing
Inside her room she paints me blue

Atlanta started raining on me
And teenage love was underground
Tonight I break the surface
Atlanta started raining on me

A New York girl was claiming me
And naming me
And destiny get nervous and

And your my good feeling, I'm kneeling
Inside her room she paints me blue
And you are my reason for breathing
Inside her room she paints me blue, again

And your my good feeling, I'm kneeling
Inside her room she paints me blue
And you are my reason for breathing
Inside her room she paints me blue, again

Atlanta started raining on me
on me
Atlanta started raining on me
on me

Something Corporate is fucking awesome no matter what you say
