#1.LIES BY THE THOUSANDS

A thousand words can paint the picture
And what you got don't mean much to me
No one knows what I might conquer
With lies like these.

#2.BEST WAY TO DIE

Count the days and several ways to die
This is the drug that told her she could fly
The best way to die was found here tonight
They've all lost control but they're feelin' alright
The best way to die was found here tonight
They've all lost control but they're feelin' alright

Feel her pulse beating gently in the vein
Alive but dead, so close, nearly the same

He is an engine running in the red
Due to the boiling fever in his head
He dragged her down almost overnight
An innocent lost burning wrong from right

You don't deserve this!

You're empty, I'm empty - it left me dry
You're bending, I'm bending - to save the night
I'm trying, you're crying
At the outstretched hand you found
Hand you found, hand you found

You don't deserve this!

#3. THE NIGHT IT WENT TOO FAR

The camera doesn't lie, this is what we've done
So far from where we had started from
Soothing the egos of losers in a game much bigger
What were we doing here?

Thrust into a bad dream, descended like a smokescreen
The night it went too far
To bend, to steal
The night it went too far
To mend, to feel
The night it went too far

Melting down the mind always sounds like fun
'Til someone whispers and it weighs a ton
Breaking the silence with secrets that decay with vigor
What were we doing here?

Thrust into a bad dream, descended like a smokescreen
What were we doing here?
Sucked into the jetstream that washed away the hurt clean
What were we doing here?

#4. BLUEPRINT

Lingering strong is my dream of greatness
A history that had its day, came and went
Broken bones and broken hearts will make it true
All that left is here again and the rest's arriving soon

With trembling hands I raised it up for all to see
Just what we'd done towards a new breed
Wretched dreams and endless schemes
I need a miracle, we need a miracle
A purity that's bound to dwindle
A poor attempt to rekindle what was lost

#5. THE GOODBYE LETTER

How many times I never read the signs
I should've read the signs
I've seen the bigger picture, dear It's never been so clear
Time to write all my wrongs away
Flatlining us into the big fade
Save my head from all the hurt you say
Breaking down on us a little every day

Should've known better than to wait this long
Pulling your strings around was clearly wrong
In our hearts we've known how the wind would blow
That it couldn't last - so says your goodbye letter

So many times I woke up to a lie
I woke up to a lie
I've seen the writing on the wall
We'll be the first to fall
Time to write all my wrongs away
Flatlining us into the big fade
Save my head from all the hurt you say

#6. BABY, COOL YOUR JETS

Baby, cool your jets is what I say
When crazy eyes are shot my way
I need a fix and I need one quick
You know the things that make me tick

Yeah I wanna breathe and I'm on my knees
'Cause I need some breathing room!

Baby, cool your jets is what I say
The consequence is what you'll pay
Behind my back you play your tricks
You know the things that make me sick

Yeah I wanna breathe and I'm on my knees
'Cause I need some breathing room!
Yeah I wanna breathe, beggin' darlin' please
'Cause I need some breathin' room!

Calling off all bets
'Til you cool your jets
Baby, cool your jets

Baby, cool your jets is what I say
It never had to end this way
Killing the vibe when you up and quit
I'm glad you're gone but you will be missed

#7. AFTER THE RAIN

I feel it's raining in my
I see it's raining in my
I know you're raining in my head

Oh, the drops will fall
Like the answer to my call
Collect them careful in my hands
I'm begging you, please
It's raining in my head

#8. TINFOIL STAR

Hold on, this'll only hurt a bit
Found my courage now, I'm finally face to face with it
Rejection broke me down while the dream was growing faint
No choice but to cut you loose, these shoulders couldn't stand
the weight

I was scared of almost everything I saw
No second chance would ever come along

You had wandered on empty when the sky became my floor
I gave you everything I had but now you're back for more
Well, you blew in like a storm and then you crept out like a lamb

The tinfoil star had lost its shine
so you packed your bags andran

So close to the ending as it was
Filled my pockets and changed focus to a different cause
The stars you wore for eyes stopped twinkling with time
No choice but to see you free, this fruit was dying on the vine

I was scared of almost everything I saw
Blind to the elegance I knew was wrong
No second chance would ever come along

Oh, a twist of fate
Has made you run away
From the tinfoil star

#9. AFTERGLOW

Chalk it up to the stars and the moon in your eyes
Lost it all to the day we leave all this behind

It's a beautiful thing when you know
You can slip through the door if patience wore thin
Just suck in your pride, stick out your chin and cut it down
It's okay if you sing, if you've got the words right
You can sip from the fountain if mystery dissolves

I can still see your face with my eyes tightly closed
Tried to write it in words but the words weren't my own

We're basking in the afterglow

#10. SUDDENLY

Suddenly I saw what I had done to it
Oh no, I'd murdered it, yeah
Dizzy, I fell in the chair, blood soaking in my hair
A body on the ground
The aftermath was an afterthought
Though I know I won't get caught
You've kept quiet up 'til now

I don't know how long
I can stay just this strong
I don't know how long
I can stay this strong
Suddenly, I feel I'm wrong

Suddenly I knew what I felt that I must do
I dug myself a hole
Operating within a trance, I breathed the air's romance
And threw you in the dirt
Now I'm not one for broken hearts, so I climbed into the dark
And lied right by your side
The rain washed in the soil, we were alone again
As in love as we'd ever been

I don't know how long
We can stay just this strong
I don't know how long
We can stay this strong
At least we were never wrong

or..
