Am I drowning you outBursts of defectionIf everything was up to me I would be gone by the first signThe first sign of hope Id be packed up and out of my wayTime has been spread so thinIts just hours till the day beginsAnd the things that are you keeping you here are not keeping me hereThe things that are keeping you here are keeping me awayYoull be sorry isnt that what theyll say?Dont follow your heart cause it just seems to get in your wayDont ever leave hereAnd mope at your leisureAnd straighten out your crease dearAnd truth is in a tall beerAre you drowning your fearWith a glass of deceptionWhen everything is easy then everything will be okayWhen everything is easy then you wont be sad that you stayedTime has been spread so thinIts just hours till the day beginsAnd the things that are you keeping you here are not keeping me hereThe things that are keeping you here are keeping me awayYoull be sorry isnt that what theyll say?Dont follow your heart cause it just seems to get in your wayDont ever leave hereAnd mope at your leisureAnd straighten out your priest dearAnd truth is in a jar here

Carry this picture for luck. Kept in a locketTucked in your collar close to your chest.Make it a secret shown to the closest friends.And meet me at quarter to sevenThe sun will still shine then at this time of year.Well head to the inlet. And well share a bottle there.And color the coast with your smileIts the most genuine thing Ive ever seen.I was so lost but now I believe.And follor me south of the big docks where they tether the boatsAnd the rich men revere as so important they hire our fathers to steer.And down to the edge of the waterWhere well spill our gutsAnd well name our fears. Ill give you this picture.Kepp it and dont be scared.And color the coast with your smile.Its the most genuine thing Ive ever seen.I was so lost but now I believe in the coastYour smile is the most genuine thing Ive ever seen.I was so lost but now I believe

So this is oddThe painful realization That all has gone wrongAnd nobody cares at allAnd nobody cares at all.So you buried all your lovers clothesAnd burned the letters lover wroteBut it doesnt make it any better.Does it make it any better?And the plaster dented from your fistIn the hall where you had your first kissReminds you that the memories will fade.So this is strangeOur sidestepping has come to be A brilliant danceWhere nobody leads at allWhere nobody leads at all.And the picture frames are facing downAnd the ringing from this empty soundIs deafening and keeping you from sleep.And breathing is a foreign taskAnd thinkings just too much to askAnd youre measuring your minutes by a clock thats blinking eights.Well this is incredible.Starving insatiableYes this is love for the first time.And youd like to think that you were invincible.Yeah well werent we all onceBefore we felt loss for the first time?Well this is the last time.

The air is visible around you rising up and off your lips in slow currentsAnd I watch as your face is framed in its slow currentsDrifting curls a trailing pathA long drag becomes a dress of blue and ashIf it is born in flames then we should let it burnBurn as brightly as we canAnd if its gotta end then let it end in flamesLet it burn all the way downThe air is visceral around usTurning in its simple steps on slow currentsAnd I watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motionA long drag becomes a slow dance and a halo around herIf it is born in flames then we should let it burnBurn as brightly as we canAnd if its gotta end then let it end in flamesLet it burn all the way downAll the way downAnd if this is ever meant to end then I hope it ends where it beganSo hot with love we burned our handsIf this is ever meant to end then I hope it ends where it beganSo hot with love it burns our handsIf it is born in flames then we should let it burnBurn as brightly as we canIf its gotta end then let it end in flamesLet it burn let it burnIf its gotta end let it burnIf its gotta end let it burnIt ends where it began so hot with love it burns our hands

Oh sweet lungs dont fail me nowYour burning has turned into fearDrills me in my every step Im moving quick but youre always on my heelsJust one more breath I beg you pleaseJust one more step my knees are weakMy heart is sturdy but it needs you to surviveMy heart is sturdy but it needs youBreathe dont you want to breatheI know that you are strong enough to handle what I needMy capillaries scream theres nothing left to feed onMy body needs a reason to cross that lineWill you carry me there one more time?Steady lungs dont fail me nowI feel you bursting but you wont let me dieFill me up with every stepIm feeling sick but Im leaving it behindJust one long breath I beg you pleaseJust one more step you are not weakMy legs are sturdy but they need you to surviveMy heart is sturdy but I need youBreathe dont you want to breatheI know that you are strong enough to handle what I needMy capillaries scream theres nothing left to feed onMy body needs a reason to cross that lineWill you carry me there one more time?I have reason to believe that I have victories to tasteI can feel them on my teeth upon my lips and in my chestI can roll them on my tongue they are more subtle than defeatI feel the tension in my lungs and every move is filled by my resolve toBreathe dont you want to breatheI know that you are strong enough to handle what I needMy capillaries scream theres nothing left to feed onMy body needs a reason to cross that lineWill you carry me there one more time?

She fixes her lipsThey always look perfectNever a smudged lineNever too much I try on my blue shirtShe told me she liked itShe wonders what Ill wearShe knows just what shell wearShe always wears blueSome sneakers or flip flopsIm starting to panicRemember she asked youRemember to breatheAnd everything will be okayOkayAlright

Come on home and let yourself healYou could sleep for a thousand yearsI wont let you disappearLet your heart beat hereYouve been running far and wideDoing what you hope is rightChasing what you feel insideI will take your path as mineI feel it in my ribsFeel it in my soulThe pulse just growsSo loud and so clearLet your heart beat hereLet your heart beat hereWinters come to take me awayI wear my ring to know whats at stakeAnd when the days work at their own paceYou remain my time and placeI feel it in my ribsFeel it in my soulThe pulse just growsSo loud and so clearLet your heart beat hereSo loud and so clearLet your heart beat hereYeah let your heart beat hereWe found our way past our youthful fearsAnd fought our way through the pain and tearsAnd we drove our stakes in the place most deepAnd let our hearts beatI feel it in my ribsFeel it in my soulThe pulse just growsSo loud and so clearLet your heart beat hereSo loud and so clearLet your heart beat hereYeah let your heart beat hereLet your heart beat here

So quietAnother wasted nightThe television steals the conversation.ExhaleAnother wasted breathAgain it goes unnoticed.Please tell me youre just feeling tiredCause if its more than that I feel that I might break.Out of touch; out of time.Please send me anything but signals that are mixedCause I cant read your rolling eyes.Out of touch; are we out of time?Close lippedAnother goodnight kissIs robbed of all its passion.Your gripAnother time is slack.It leaves me feeling empty.Please tell me youre just feeling tiredCause if its more than that I feel that I might break.Out of touch; out of time.Please send me anything but signals that are mixedCause I cant read your rolling eyes.Out of touch; are we out of time?Ill wait until tomorrow;Maybe youll feel better then.Maybe well be better then.So whats another dayWhen I cant bear these nights of thoughts Of going on without you?This mood of yours is temporary;It seems worth the waitTo see your smile again.Out of the corner of my eyeWont be the only way youre looking at me then.So quietAnother wasted nightThe television steals the conversation.ExhaleAnother wasted breathAgain it goes unnoticed.

Carry this picture for luck. Kept in a locketTucked in your collar close to your chest.Make it a secret shown to the closest friends.And meet me at quarter to sevenThe sun will still shine then at this time of year.Well head to the inlet. And well share a bottle there.And color the coast with your smileIts the most genuine thing Ive ever seen.I was so lost but now I believe.And follor me south of the big docks where they tether the boatsAnd the rich men revere as so important they hire our fathers to steer.And down to the edge of the waterWhere well spill our gutsAnd well name our fears. Ill give you this picture.Kepp it and dont be scared.And color the coast with your smile.Its the most genuine thing Ive ever seen.I was so lost but now I believe in the coastYour smile is the most genuine thing Ive ever seen.I was so lost but now I believe

Stolen Lyrics

Q: Several Ways to Die Trying

Pacific sun you should have warned us it gets so cold here.And the night can freeze before you set it on fire.And our flares go unnoticed.Diminished faded just as soon as they are fired.We are we are intrigued. We are we are invisible.Oh how weve shouted how weve screamedTake notice take interest take me with you.But all our fears fall on deaf ears.Tonight theyre burning the roads they built to lead us to the light.And blinding our hears with their shining liesWhile closing our caskets cold and tight. But Im dying to live.Pacific sun you should have warned us these heights are dizzyingAnd the climb can kill you long before the fall.And our trails go unmarked and unmapped and coveredJust as soon as they are crossed.We are we are intriguing. We are we are desirable.Oh how weve shouted how weve screamedTake notice take interest take me with you.But all our fears fall on deaf ears.Tonight theyre burning the roads they built to lead us to the light.And blinding our hearts with their shining liesWhile closing our caskets cold and tight. But Im dying to live.
