They painted up your secrets with the lies they told to you and the least they ever gave you was the most you ever knew. And I wonder where these dreams go when the world gets in your way. What's the point in all this screaming? No one's listening anyway. Your voice is small and fading and you hide in here unknown. And your mother loves your father cos she's got nowhere to go. And she wonders where these dreams go cos the world got in her way. What's the point in ever trying? Nothing's changing anyway. They press their lips against you and you love the lies they say. And I tried so hard to reach you, but you're falling anyway. And you know I see right through you cos the world gets in your way. What's the point in all this screaming? You're not listening anyway.

I hurt myself today to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real. The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting. Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything. What have I become? My sweetest friend. Everyone I know goes away in the end. And you could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt. I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair. Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair. Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear. You are someone else. I am still right here. What have I become? My sweetest friend. Everyone I know goes away in the end. And you could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt. If I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself. I would find a way.

I told another lie today and I got through this day. No one saw through my games. I know the right words to say, like "I don't feel well. I ate before I came." Then someone tells me how good I look and for a moment, for a moment I am happy. But when I'm alone no one hears me cry. I need you to know I'm not through the night. Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light. I need you to know that we'll be okay. Together we can make it through another day. I don't know the first time I felt unbeautiful, the day I chose not to eat. What I do know is how it changed my life forever. I know I should know better. There are days when I'm okay and for a moment, for a moment I find hope. But there are days when I'm not okay and I need your help, so I'm letting go. I need you to know I'm not through the night. Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light. I need you to know that we'll be okay. Together we can make it through another day. You should know you're not on your own. These secrets are walls that keep us alone. I don't know when but I know now together we'll make it through somehow. Together we'll make it through somehow. I need you to know I'm not through the night. Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light. I need you to know that we'll be okay. Together we can make it through another day.

I had a bad day again. She said I would not understand. She left a note and said I'm sorry I had a bad day again. She spilled her coffee, broke a shoelace, smeared the lipstick on her face. Slammed the door and said I'm sorry I had a bad day again. And she swears there's nothing wrong. I hear her playing that same old song. She puts me up and puts me on. I had a bad day again. She said I would not understand. Left a note and said I'm sorry I had a bad day again. And she swears there's nothing wrong. I hear her playing that same old song. She puts me up and puts me on. Oh I had a bad day again. She said I would not understand. She left a note and said I'm sorry I had bad day again. She left a note and said I'm sorry I had a bad day. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh alright, oh.

I was staring at the sky just looking for a star to pray on or wish on or something like that. I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy whose reality I knew was too hopeless to be had. But then the dove of hope began its downward slope and I believed for a moment my chances were approaching to be grabbed. But as it came down near so did a weary tear. I thought it was a bird but it was just a paper bag. Hunger hurts and I want it so bad oh it kills. Cos I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up. I got to fold cos these hands are too shaky to hold. Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love. I went crazy again today looking for a strand to climb, just looking for a little hope. Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine. A fail to kiss is a fail to cope. Is aid honey I don't feel so good, don't feel justified. Come on put a little love here in my void. He said it's all in your head, I said so's everything but he didn't get it. I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy. Hunger hurts and I want it so bad oh it kills cos I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up. I got to fold cos these hands are too shaky to hold. Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love. Hunger hurts but I want it so bad, oh it kills. Cos I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up. I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold. Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love. Hunger hurts but I want it so bad. oh it kills. Cos I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up. I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold. Hunger hurts but starving, it works when it costs too much to love.

You're not ready for the world outside. You keep pretending but you just can't hide. I know I said that I'd be standing by your side but I. Your path's unbeaten and it's all uphill. And you can meet it but you never will. And I'm the reason that you're standing still but I. I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land. Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand. Wish I could stay here but now I understand I'm standing in the way. The cries around you you don't hear at all. Cos you know I'm here to take that call. So you just lie there when you should be standing tall. But I. I wish I could lay your arms down, and let you rest at last. Wish I could slay your demons but now that time has passed. Wish I could stay here, your stalwart standing fast but I'm standing in the way. I'm just standing in the way. I'm under your spell. God how can this be? Playing with my memory. You know I've been through hell. Willow don't you see? There'll be nothing of me. You made me believe. Believe me I don't wanna go. And it'll grieve me cos I love you so but we both know. Wish I could trust that it was just this once but I must do what I must. I can't adjust to this disgust we're done and I just wish I could stay. Wish I could stay. WIsh I could stay. Wish I could stay.

We sent out the SOS call.  It was a quarter past four in the morning.  The storm broke our second anchor line.  Four months at sea.  Four months of calm seas to be pounded in the shallows of the tip of Montach Point.  They call them rogues and they travel fast and alone.  One hundred faces of gods good ocean gone wrong.  What they call love is a risk cos you will always get hit out of nowhere by some wave and end up on your own.  The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts to bail us out.  The flood in the engines and radio, half buried bow.  Your tongue is a rudder.  It steers the whole ship.  Sends your words past your lips, keep them safe behind your teeth.  But the wrong words will strand you.  Come off course while you sleep.  Sweep your boat out to see or dash to bits on the reef.  The vessel groans.  The ocean pressures it's frame.  To the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and the rain.  And i wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts.  THe morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west.  The say that the captain stays fast with the ship if you're still in storm.  But this ain't the Dakota.  The water's cold.  Won't have to fight for long.  This is the end. T hsi story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear.  Call me and let me taste the salt you breathe while you were underneath.  I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains soft below the sea.  I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.  I know that this is what you want.  A funeral keeps both of us apart.  You konw that you are not alone.  I need you like water in my lungs.  This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear.  Call me and let me taste the salt you breathe while you are underneath.  I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains soft below the sea.  I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.  I know that this is what you want. A funeral keeps both of us apart.  You konw that you are not alone.  I need you like water in my lungs.
