New Leaves

on a cold October night
on an old abandoned highway
the stars are falling from the sky
that’s what you told me.
Time doesn’t treat you very well
Those lines on your face tell the story
I may see it for myself
When I’m older
Turn on the lights
Forget the darkness outside
Lost our leaves one by one
Until there were none
Now in spring we will sing
And celebrate your life
What we had and what we’ve lost
Our new leaves
Did you love them?
Or did you let down all your friends
Did you tell them?
Tell them while you had the chance?
Or did you blow it?
Turn on the lights
Forget the darkness outside
Lost our leaves one by one
Until there were none
Now in spring we will sing
And celebrate your life
What we had and what we’ve lost
Our new leaves
Don’t waste your life
Worrying about the past
Just make it last
Don’t spend your whole life
The way I lived mine

we kill ourselves to feel alive
We fall apart just to survive
A weekend love, in a weakened state
With all these things in front of us
The awkward way you use me now
You’re losing me, and I showed you how
the awkward silence, when I scream your name
Won’t replace or remain
Now lightning strikes us every day
You turn your head, you run away
cuz’ love can hurt, and love can scar
but love is not a victory march
won’t you save me, and take me away?
The awkward way you use me now
You’re losing me, and I showed you how
the awkward silence, when I scream your name
Won’t replace or remain
Wide awake. I’m wide awake.

Heaven

the ghost of you moans every day
a spectre begging me to play
a game that the heavens won’t allow
a séance for our haunted love
with heaven below, and hell above
it seems so far away, it hurts like hell
but only when I think about you now
it’s only when I think about you now
a burning phantom in the air
you gave these memories to wear
in faded silent films of our past lives
i hope your soul can rest in peace
i hear your name whispered in the breeze
it feels so close to me it hurts like hell
but only when I think about you now
it’s only when I think about you now

i hope you can recover
and live to fight another day
you’ve got so much left to say
somethings in the way
well maybe i just need some help
to find out why i’m not myself
so alone all the time
sometimes the drugs don’t work
well I’ve been talking to myself
but myself is tired
of talking to this goddamn, broken liar
it’s hard to fix yourself when you don’t care anyway
Even though we fall, we don’t feel a thing
gonna fly up to the sun
I’m gonna melt my wings
lying to yourself that you don’t care anyway
well maybe I just need some sleep
to find out what is wrong with me
you are not alone this time
sometimes the drugs don’t work
Is this a factory default setting on me?
like the sunshine on your face, misplaced
depressed, and anxious, unworthy of love.
sometimes the drugs don’t work

you’ve got madness in your eyes
you’ve got hatred in your heart
well you sell me quick, and you sell me slow
and you sell me out to everyone I know
You do.
you’ve got nothing in your heart
you’ve got vengeance on your mind
well you can’t see straight, and you can’t hold on
and you can’t be me, and I can’t be what you want.
life gets in the way of our big plans
well I can’t see through the fog
got me running out of time
well you can’t see straight, and you can’t hold on
and you can’t be me, and I can’t be what you want.
life gets in the way of our big plans

I tried my best to love you, but I don’t know how
taking pills and shows at webster underground
I’m living half a life, cuz’ you’re not around
these downers take the words right out of my mouth
It’s you, and I won’t be afraid
for you, I would let myself out of this cage
for you, and I won’t be afraid
for you, I would let myself out of this cage
this f*ckboy thinks he knows me, he’s a hypocrite
and if he starts a scene, then he’ll look desperate
For you, and I won’t be ashamed
For you, I would put myself through all this pain
For you, and I won’t be afraid
for you, I would let myself out of this cage.
for you.
