Words We Call Lyrics

Broken Heart's Brigade

Are you listening?
What exactly do you want to hear?
it's ringing in my ears
I can see that you're waiting,
for something thats been dragging you on and on,
when it was deep inside you all along.

There are those who say that dreams are just a start,
I guess they don't know much about a broken heart.
side by side, hand in hand, we can never go to far.
what's your biggest fear? mine's falling apart...

Are you afraid?
and what exactly are you running from?
I'm sorry that your fear holds you down.
Are you honest? or did you sway them with your lies?

your friends can't stab you in the back if you look them in the eyes...

What You Didn't Figure

There goes our forest playground,
In comes your concrete dream.
Is that money really worth it?
(i dont think so)
You sold out your childhood..

So what's the deal with our ticky, tacky generation?
and hey, does anybody even care?
Self righteous ultimadums, and the lack of creative daydreams.
There must be something in the air.

Here comes you personal seclusion,
There goes your open mind.
Is adulthood really worth it?
(no, i dont think so)
You threw away your imagination...

There's gotta be something in the air
Somethings wrong somewhere, everywhere...

>
So this is Friends

Hearts and minds that change like time
My stubborn fear helps draw the line
Do you believe things never work out right?

Lost in the smokescreen of reveries
Seems this whole thing is new to me
Although it's a pattern that we repeat--giving up and
giving in

So I wrote this song for you
And this is how it goes...

We made a day of being together in the rain
And for a short while I swear I felt whole again
This situation's complication is killing me
Together under stormclouds, just imagine the irony

But now we're back with our back's against the wall
Are we afraid of being alone or being nothing at all?

All I know is I don't know where we go from here
But can we just go somewhere? Anywhere?

So here's to being friends

???

troubled day, tired night,
a brave new reality.
I can't remember to forget
the troubles that surround me.

and this is as close as i get to growing up

I'm only schizophrenic all the time,
so don't think that i'm crazy
the muddy waters of my life
are impossible to wade through

And the sky's not happy
with the pavement...

So if you believe in a God,
say a prayer for everyone,
for you and i
but if you don't, than i have to ask you
to believe in me

?!?

I can't belive you doubted I was alive
Check your own grave next time
Six feet under to your life

So listen to the sound
Of a still beating heart,
And realize its your own
There's no use standing in the rain
So you might as well go home.

I've never taken more than I've been giving.
I've never given more than I've been stealing.

I can't belive you doubted I was alive
Maybe you should dig your own grave next time...
Six feet under to your life

Shipwrecked

Shipwrecked in a town
without a coastline
There’s no hope for rescue here

I’m getting tired of this quiet life

And I, just want to get back to you

I think I’ll lose my mind
if I dont lose this reality
And I think I’ll find my way
back to the good old days
When we would laugh
about the plans for life we had

Its not funny anymore
Its a shooting pain> inside my heart
and I dont want it anymore

I don't want it anymore...

One in a Million

Love...it's something we seem to forget about these days
And I for one, don’t know why we let something so
beautiful slip away
Why, are we so persistently defensive when it comes to
our mistakes?
Do you think it’d be alright if we pretend we were
people for just one day?

Holding hands is a pastime we’ve lost
But I’m breaking down and I need someone
Fuck it all, I'd rather live in your smile,
but maybe thats just me..

Some, will try their worst to break you into line
and rain, will surely fall on your day to shine, but,
i have this feeling that if we work together all the time,
then brighter lines will redraw us...

Better days and warmer nights are up around the corner
if only you would see
better ways and warmer smiles are just around the corner,
and you'll see it all with me

Tuesday

I dreamt I didnt wake up,
and sleep was never so cold.
I count my blessings as i get up,
cause I'm not sure if I'll ever grow up.
I prayed for rain,
and I got my wish today.
no one should fear this flood
I intend to make the most of it...

Its funny how my apperance used to matter,
and a two letter word kept us content...
but everything that was anything now means nothing
Froget that shit, and realize this could
be the last night im alive...

Could we pretend; that i could stand myself
if in the end i didnt live my life for someone else,
and maybe all of this sounds crazy,
maybe I just cant picture myself asleep,
but if everything that was anything now means nothing,
Well i swear... that tonight I won't go down
without a fight...

Wednesday

The rain has cleared
to leave the ashes smoldering.
(Will the Sun still rise?)
I betray my fears,
Open arms to welcome the new day with tear renewed eyes,
Bells rings with bombs,
To sing our clarion call.
(First day of the rest of our lives)

Living in a changed world,
The nineties make the fifties look like the sixties.
...let the war begin.

Old Glory- blindfolds us with old dillusion.
Sad story- Happy endings come to those who fight.

The nineties make the fifties look like the sixties.

five years

Hello invisible I havent spoken to you in years,
it would help alot if i cared,
we would have been friends,
we could have been enimies, but that all just depends,
my minds been slipping me now and then...

These 5 years
God knows that i have given it my best shot
These 5 years
I've found the bottom of a bottle better company then you

So i dont remeber you from tonight,
I dont remember that time I said hi to you in the hall,
whats with your eyes?
stop looking at me with those dead eyes

Yesterday

i wrote this song in the pouring rain,
starin at the clear night sky,
thinking about my life and wondering why?
it's like bloody knuckles, cut up fists, and a matching black eye
without even getting in a fight...

But tonight...
It'll be easy to wash the stains from my clothes
But tonight...
it'll be hard to watch the blood pour from my soul

But thats okay with me;
i thought my life would be about open minds and
changing lives; i guess i'll spend another day at school,
regrettably the same, moping around
