A string of truth, lust and reality Braided together, we've crafted this situation I'm twirling around, caught up in this emotion Words swirling around, inculcate how you feel, over again I pull my hair back and twist it into a braid Away from my face so I can see clearly Dreams become tangled with reality When I close my eyes, we're hand in hand Look at what's in front of me, we're not quite there I let my hair down Letting worry and stress roll off my back One thing is always for sure One thing you can always count on I don't know what the future holds But then again, neither do you Stealing my breath away, water encompasses by body I float on top and let the current pick my path The river keeps flowing, pulling and pushing me along Completely free, I fill my lungs with air This heart's still breathing I take another breath to keep it so A string of truth, lust and reality Braided together, we've crafted this situation And I take another breath to keep it so

My back is on the ground, head tilted towards the sky Make a wish as I close my eyes *I tend to slip and fall, but lighning never strikes the same place twice These wishes are useless It wasn't right, but it wasn't wrong I want to save you Save you from his black heart Save you from this black sky I'm scared of what he might do to you I want to rescue you, take you to the stars But as a star, I am falling, I am failing* Why make a wish on a falling star Sometimes things are most beautiful when they're falling apart I have fallen before, just as fast as you But if I fall, someone else gets a wish* It wasn't right, but it wasn't wrong But if I fall, someone else gets a wish

I want to fall asleep in your arms and wake up by your side But I'm always alone You say I need to decide and you're up for anything You're up for anything, but the one thing I want *Oh but don't worry, I think the world's just ending And maybe this was all my fault, but what can I say? I tend to get tangled Don't question my words, they're as honest as yours Question my motives You won't be able to tell by my facade But you should know the truth, after all you're the one who corrupted me and taught me how to lie* Any guy can tell me I look cute, but only you can tell me how you feel I drown out your words with music, but it's much too loud and overwhelming I crave silence, but your voice swirls around in my head like fallen leaves caught in the wind* And I have to say, each day I wake and every step I take, bring me closer to the one

So if I am just another cigarette you need to smoke, what happens when your cigarette break is over? Will you let me fall onto the ground? Will you feel me break beneath your weight? Crushing me further and further into the cold pavement Whoever heard of saving a cigarette? Treasuring it and keeping it around to smoke over and over Ridiculous What about your favorite song? Analyzing it and picking out your favorite line Loving it more and more as it plays on and on Let me be the theme song to your life Cigarettes come and go, but a song is forever Perfectly crafted to fit you and your lifestyle One song can change everything, make you see the world from another perspective Let me be that song, that song that knows you best That song that gets stuck in your head That song that you sing along to at the top of your lungs That song you put on repeat over and over again That song that never ends Let me be the theme song to your life

These texts snap me back into reality I awake from this constant daydreaming Daydreaming about what we had and what could have been I don't regret a thing, I just want you in my life I can't seem to bring myself to say the words that terrify me the most *Three short words, but not what you're thinking I think about those afternoons in Togo's and late nights in your room When I think of you I can hear Thrice and smell cigarettes Those three short words say it all: I miss you But I don't dare breathe a word or write a line That would mean you're really gone, never to come back And I don't care if I'm just another cigarette you need to smoke Breathe me in Stay the night* Maybe my heart's a kamikazi I would kill to be back in your arms If only for one night Even if I knew I'd carry around a heavy heart for the rest of my life*

Disappointed that your calls don't light up my world anymore Until the one night that it did Now I'm slipping out of my bed and slidding into yours From tossing and turning to rolling around This is one memory that can always be found *I was honest when I said, that I could never leave your bed And I swear if you really leave tomorrow, you will be leaving me and my heart hollow This constant hunger pain, Dying of starvation The world works against us, but for this one night, the earth stopped turning And the only thing spinning was my head Loosing control at the sound of your breathing and the touch of your lips* Oh how you've fed me sandwhiches and secrets You fed me when I was starving for you Guided by your lips, I'm drinking in this moment My fingers tangled in your hair and your hands around my hips*

This never-ending road stretches itself out before me and we're both long gone Our long lost dream dissipates into the stars and black night sky A feeling i'm quite familiar with But does that make it any easier? Any easier at all? But it doesn't matter at all because before I saw goodbye I'm already halfway gone The story of my life re-writes itself over and over again Repeating metaphors and themes plague this everyday existence I open my mouth and scream at the top of my lungs "no, don't go!" But in the end, I'm only saying goodbye to nothing Can I break through, could I be honest? I'll let my thoughts do the talking I won't utter a word, but still you'll know I cry tears of ink and as they fall to the blank paper, lyrics splash across the page And doesn't it feel like everyone's an enemy This pen and paper are the only friends I know

Its funny how the stars don't shine as bright tonight But the moon hangs low and smiles at us as we drive by, smiling ourselves I said, "jump in the car, we're gonna chase this star until it fades into the pink sunrise" A storm rolled in to take you away But you just say, "ignore the thunder heads up above, you know you're always safe with me." You've provoked the deepest and saddest songs, the most beautiful and heartfelt songs, the most angry and malicious songs, and the most light and airy songs You've given me a lifetime of material, my dear vague emotion So I find it impossible to forget you Love radically so you can shatter someone's universe Funny how I loved you, But you shattered my universe And its funny how the stars don't shine as bright tonight

Oh, what a tangled web we weave Each passing day I become more and more tangled But I don't want to be tangled up in a web I want to be tangled up in you and your sheets So far I'm caught up in your words, my emotions and our conversations I tried to free myself from this web, but i just became more and more tangled Slipping deeper and deeper into this vast canyon of feelings, I cannot find my vague emotion You no longer hold this air of uncertainty, I am no longer suffocatting, We are breathing and drinking in pure love But the coin flips to heads and logic kicks in I'm second guessing these emotions Fearing what's to come Being unrequited seems to be a game I play Once again I loose all my money and I am sent to jail But maybe you could free me Unchain me from this fetter of this unrequited love jail cell and I will be yours Give me the courage to roll the dice just once more If I land in jail, then I blame you But it I land on your property, would you invite me inside? Do you see how I have become so tangled? I do not care for this web of uncertainty, but I wouldn't mind being tangled up in you

Bed tiem storeis are over-rated There's no such thing as happily ever after At least in the story of my life With pen and paper, I can make this right Lets go back to that empty theater Hands through your hair, arms wrapped around me I wasn't focussed on the screen, but how you looked, looking at me From empty theater to empty inbox I can't seem to get this message through to you One phone call, one joke, now I'm through, but am I really There's absolutely nothing I can do He's the one who got away and I can't make him stay, not even while he's here Get on that plane and fly away Leave behind a dilapidated city complete with a sad song playing in the background as you take off Take off your mask, this thing you hide behind Hide behind me and I'll protect you But not tonight Tonight the sad song plays on and the city collapses
