Trying to live this life with no regrets Killing myself with all this medicine I know I should have called it Should have called it long ago But I let feelings get involved Until push came to shove So poke your head out of this grave 'Cause there's nothing worth saving that can't be saved. I found a pattern with easy decisions and hard regrets. If it don't eat me up I still know what to expect. We're frozen deer staring down the barrel of a gun When the hammer hits the bullet Then it will be known, That nothing can save us No, Nothing can save us From the strangers of ourselves. So poke your head out of this grave. 'Cause if you can't change this then you can't be saved. I held your picture to the window In a confessional booth I said, "Lord I'm sorry.. but now what do I do?" So lay your head down in that grave. Nothing can save us It just can't save us From yourself From myself Not this time.

Soft Spite 03:18
I took a shot, I lost the bet yet you are the one who complains I'm caught in a web, I'm caught in you. I'll stay there till there's something to do. I just wanted it so bad nothing ever comes that fast. another bet I lost again now I'd pay to hear you complain cut from the web cut loose from you I'll stay there till there's someone new for you. and I just wanted it so bad nothing ever comes that fast I know. I've lost. staring out to see as far as I can see, I know I've tried so I'll dig out my own spine prove it's been there all the while, I know you doubted it all the time. and I just wanted it so bad somethings just don't come that far.

If They Ask 04:36
last night when i closed my eyes for hours i lied awake without a word I could say its just easier to lie by your side.. tonight, I'm so in love with you I'm glad I didn't say all those terrible things (I mean) It's a tragedy, a catastrophe, pure blasphemy, a mess indeed. if they ask about me tell them I sleep fine. and if they ask about you, i'll tell them that you spend every night by my side. I know this seems hard for you to take but there's an added weight just by you being here and when you're not here there's still a weight, there's still a wake I'm still awake... so if they ask about me tell them I sleep fine. and if they ask about you, i'll tell them that you spend every night by my side.

Dorian Gray 04:19
life is yours to take but time can get in the way so maybe it would be fine if only we had a little more time for ourselves. and maybe we'd pay for this if a dream was the same as a wish. but far and away things are the same if you want to own and love it you've got to pay. you were so transparent but there you were... well I'm a liar and a thief I stole your faith to believe in me when there's so much left to steal don't take it away and make this all real. minutes bend to hours hours break to days it makes it easy to find a reason to leave when you've got to stay. you were so transparent but there you were... well I'm a liar and a thief I stole your faith to believe in me when there's so much I can see don't take that away don't take it from me If you need something to believe then believe not to trust in me because when the devil offers a trade (even though) my soul will crumble my hand will shake. hold out for heaven, hold out for better things.

I overheard a new life was calling you I guess that this life is killing me less then you. take my hand sweetheart it may be the last time I've got my life full and you've got your heart full and I don't know why.. I don't know why you're drowning in me while I'm floating on you.
