Contradicting Emotions and Fabricated Love

Watch Your Step

*Back To Main*

Red Then Blue:

Light flashing red then blue

I’m here crying over you

But you’re not moving

They say he had too much to drink

I say I don’t care

Just stop the bleeding

I tell you not to go

But slowly you’re fading

With your last breath you say

Everything will be ok

And you don’t feel a thing

But still I’m scared

I stand and face the night

With all of its glory and pain

And for the first time in my life

I pray

Don’t leave me

Don’t take her

Don’t leave me

Don’t take her

Please

It’s raining and I don’t cry

Because the sky has shed to many tears already tonight

Holding your hand in mine

I kiss your lips one last time

Watch you go

Lights flashing red then blue

They say there’s nothing they can do

Lights flashing red then blue

For Addison:

Simple things remind me of you

Remind me of the distance

Some days I feel so alone

But nothing can beat this

Chorus:

Your voice in my ear

Your face in my mind

Brings me the comfort

I'm needing tonight

Your words in my head

Your love in my heart

I know that nothing

Could keep us apart

Bridge:(Repeat)

The day drags on

I'm waiting for your call

My broken clock

Doesn't comfort me at all

Some days I begin to doubt

This cant work, its too far, too long

But I know its you I can't live without

Nothing that feels this right could ever be wrong

Chorus

Outro:(repeat)

The weight of 2000 miles

Keeps me down

But I'd wait forever

Till you come around

This Horrid Silence:

This horrid silence

And pointless violence

Is singing into me

That everything

That ever was

Is all it could be

And you never were

Any less than you should be

I never asked anything of you

Except to love me

These painful nights

And false delights

Show everything is gonna stay

You couldn’t stop

What never started

So it never went away

And you never were

Any less than you should be

I never asked anything of you

Except to love me

And this horrid silence

It hides under the stars

And chases me

Wherever you aren’t

And you never were

Any less than you should be

I never asked anything of you

And you never gave anything

And you never were

Any less than you should be

Apparently it all remains

Just as it should be

Persistence Of Memory:

Here I am for the first time

Cataloging my regrets

Plagued by desperation

Insecurities that won’t relent

The more I stop to think

The less I feel like being

Anywhere without you

Or anywhere with me

Here I am for the first time

Spacing out on the road

Haunted by your face

Memories won’t leave me alone

The more I stop to think

The less I feel like being

Anywhere without you

Or anywhere with me

This might leave me dying

This might leave me alone

As hard as I am trying

I might always be alone

So here I am for the last time

The flashbacks breaking me

I may never have you baby

But the past will never leave

Enough Scar Tissue To Last:

My bleeding heart

Must be slippery in your hands

Be careful not to drop it

And scratch it up again

Cause I have enough
Scar tissue to last a lifetime

Its up to you

What you do with my heart

Put on your gloves

And tear it apart

Or put it in a glass box

And display it for all to see

But I don’t know

Which you’re doing to me

Cause you’re all I need

But what am I to you?

You’re everything I see

But where do I stand in your eyes?

My bleeding heart

Must be slippery in your hands

Be careful not to drop it

And scratch it up again

Cause I have enough
Scar tissue to last a lifetime

You’re all I need

But what am I to you?

You’re everything I see

But where do I stand in your eyes?

Where do I stand?

Am I what you’re seeing?

Don’t look away

From me

Lingering fantasies:

Lingering fantasies

Dreams fading to quickly to keep

Love is reaching for the sky

And falling to the earth beneath

One night can’t last forever

But a thousand of them can

I wish that I had as many nights with you

As the ocean has grains of sand

Of course I’ll never have forever

Not one more night with you

But leaving your memory behind

Is something I’ll never do

A torrent is falling now

Against my tears I fight in vain

Cause I’m nothing more

Than a handful of salt in the rain

I’ll never be over you

This feeling is relentless

I’ll never get over you

Cause Love can never be past tense

Stationary Philander:

And the memory fades

Of familiar faces

And I’m falling into

Familiar disgraces

And I’m not sure if this happiness

Can hold me for too long

The loneliness is tempting me

Satisfaction never felt so wrong

And I’m tracing away

These familiar places

And I’m stumbling into

Familiar embraces

And I doubt that this contentment

Could keep me here for long

My solitude was comforting

Fulfillment never felt so wrong

This perfection makes me uneasy

Cause the higher we fly, the further we fall

And I’m not sure if I can catch myself,

At the bottom

And the memory fades

And I’m tracing away

And I’m stumbling into

This notorious play

And I doubt that this perfection

Can hold me here for long

Could it keep me here?

Could you keep me here?

The Last Song:

The soft night plays its quiet song

Listen close so we can sing along

The universal melody’s timing’s off

And I can’t hear past the ticking of the clock

Sing to me

This tapestry of sound is woven in the sky

Can you hear the clouds as they begin to cry?

These liquid notes are falling to the ground

And I can feel this endless sound

Sing to me

I need to hear your voice again, tell me why

I’m listening to this music all alone, tonight

I remember when we used to go dancing with fireflies

I can still taste your last goodbye

Waiting For You:

Close your eyes

Can you feel me falling

Falling into you

Close my eyes

I can hear you calling

Calling out to me

I know that forever will suffice

I just wish that you were here with me tonight

Chorus:

To see you now

No one else around

You're the only one

I'm waiting for

Don't wake me

Cause I'm dreaming

Dreaming of you

Don't wake me

Cause I'm seeing

Seeing only you

I know that forever will suffice

I just wish that you were here with me tonight

Chorus

I'm waiting for you

(wish you were here with me)

I'm waiting for you

(wish you were here with me)

Tonight

Chorus

Contradicting Emotions and Fabricated Love:

Chorus:

I say why do you Love me

You say what’s not to Love

I say that’s no answer

You say it’s enough

Chorus

Your voice stings like a cool summer’s breeze

You taste like all the sour in sweet

Your soft touch cuts like a knife

And it makes me feel all right

Chorus

All these blatant contradictions

And vagrant inconsistencies

Can’t be substitute for lack of real feeling

So I suffer through your lies and my lies

I can no longer see though my fabricated happiness

The perfect deception is the one you give yourself

Chorus

Why do I Love you

What’s not to Love?

That seems to be the answer

But is it enough

Forever Ever Ending:

You always gave me reason to believe

Forever was ever ending

And I never had anything from you

You gave me reason to believe

Forever was ever ending

You gave me nothing

All you ever let me know

Was you’d be gone someday

And everything I ever knew

Was you’d be going away

You never gave me anything

But a reason to believe

You always gave me reason to believe

Forever was ever ending

You gave me nothing

Watch Your Step

The porch light temps the stars
To Fall
Your goodnight kiss dares the moon
To Shine
But the way you walk away with out looking back
Shows me that paradise is so far
So far away
The porch light dims these stars
To black
But you empty smiles and forged affections
Are holding me back
And the way you walk away with out looking back
Shows me that paradise is so far
Too far away

Maybe I'm just scared of what this could mean
With you walking away from me
I know that you'll be coming back
But you’ll do it again
Maybe I'm just scared of what this could mean
With you leaving me
I know that you'll return
Only to do it again

I'm so tired of this
I'm so tired of this

Well I have nothing left to say
So I guess I'll say goodbye
Goodbye
Watch your step as your walking out my door

*Back To Main*
