Pushing Paranoia

We're holding you back
but we never do
Is your paranoia
pushing through?
You're breaking your back
in a bitter truth
Are you waking me up?
Are you waking me up?
Telling yourself
this is what you do
It's tearing you up
but you never knew
We gave you time
but you're holding true
Are you waking me up?
Are you waking me up?
Maybe I am a danger
Pushing paranoia on you
Maybe I am a stranger
Breeding paranoia in you
So tell me how
you're strung along
Tell me where
they broke you down
Are you at rest
with the tinfoil on?
Are you waking me up?
Are you waking me up?
Will you let me try
to help you undo
The damage you've done
And you're paranoid
I watch it end you
So hold on tight

You dream, you lie
You're losing sight
With nothing left you've got time
to make it up in your mind
And you're blind
It takes you time
Don't waste away in your life
If you want it all
you'll lose it all
So I'm holding on to you
'cause I know you want me
But I'll leave it up to you
'cause you know you've got me
And it takes away my health
but it always had me
You bleed, you cry
For headlines
Keep telling me it takes time
You're telling me you feel fine
Don't brag, don't pry
If we collide
Don't waste away in your life
If you want it all
you'll lose it all

You Are a Philosopher

Keep me distant, brother
keep me clear
So consumed by every
hint of fear
Hold me closer, sister
bring me near
Making choices that you
never hear
But this gets older
and this gets weird
'Cause I don't get too worried
if it don't hurt too bad
And I won't get too burnt inside
if it don't make you sad
No I won't get too worried
if it don't hurt too bad
And if I can't keep it in me
will my heart stop beating like that
Feel so different
Will it heal?
Take it fist first so I'll
know it's real
Do you know that, honey?
noone cares
Waiting up so I can
breathe the air
When this gets older
this gets weird

Wrong

I'm falling off
and I need you to hold me on
It's always the same
trying to pass the blame
I'll never be
ready to let you in
So I'm holding on
to the lies that I thought were gone
And I'd love this to mean I'm wrong
And I'd love you to say you're holding on
Though I know it's a shame, you'll always say
I'm wrong
I'm wrong
I'm wrong
Don't let me fall
I'm just a know it all
It hurts me inside
to know that you left to live your life
So why did you say
never take the blame?

Just a While

Tell me
I wanted this
you didn't mind
It wasn't time
but you know
I needed to
keep you in mind
Leave me
You didn't doubt
You hated it
I wanted out
But you know
I needed to
keep us in time
Tell me
I wanted this
You didn't mind
It wasn't time
but you know
I needed to
keep you in mind
You want me to try
You know that I
need more time
Just a while
I know that I'm fine
I know I just
need more time
Just a while
You don't
complain about
The time I take
to figure out
So bend me
as long as I
don't lose my mind
Hold on
don't run away
I'll take it on
from far away
but I know
I need you to
keep me in line

Alien Scars

|
You and I
are chasing fate
but run from things that we have done
The timing's right
to face yourself
and know you're loved by everyone
But not tonight
'cause it's not the same
and you don't belive in letting on
Hold the open door
Keep us wanting more
So hold the open door
Until we give in
To our alien scars
You've come so far
that it wears you down
and I don't believe it anymore
Where you are
is pushing me
to fight for you like this is war
Hold the open door
Keep us wanting more
So hold the open door
Until we give in
To our alien scars
Until we give in
To our alien scars
