Innocence

I wanna disappear I just sleep all day These spots on my hands My skin just like sand And the air so cold I shudder and I can't sing

The carpet on my feet The sweat stains on the sheets Cough syrup and drugs Bandages and gauze The razor's dull The water, cold against my skin The radio lull The static buzzing around like tin

And all these empty plans The ink stains on my hands And everyone saves The best words for the grave Oh, these weary morning tones I'll probably save mine too If heaven's just the long ride home Tell me it's true I'll go too I'll go too I'll go too

============ Extra lyrics from the acoustic series video (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=bL_NcoCJgzo)

This song is about an abortion and how the guy is disappointed in the girl.

'Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste'

This song makes me think of a friend/love passing away. This song is going to forever remind me of my best friend that just committed suicide. This song puts a sound to what I was feeling after I found out.

And forget happiness, I'm fine I'll forget everything in time I swear I didn't know, You know me, how I can't let go And we're not guts, we're just hacks All that life amongst the cracks The scars, the siege that breaks The ugliest scene, the worst mistakes And everywhere I see her face Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste And there's no innocence like hers Just emptiness and nerves

Especially this part. She was only 18. Just reading this part of the song makes me sad.

When I hear this song I think of loosing your virginity. Commonly when someone is a virgin, they are "innocent" Loosing your innocence... There are many lines in this song that can prove this theory. (: I love TATE<3

I believe it is really about a guy who is depressed (if you see the full version lyrics, there are two verses about him being unhappy, and thinking of committing suicide). Here he cheats on his gf, he is losing his innocence, and after he wakes up, next to other girl, he is full with regrets, he destroyed everything, he was happy but he didn't knew it, and now she is gone.

What you still, you still, you still, you still Won't you say, you say, you say, you say What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel Which is nothing but hollow feelings, yeah I can, done, I just don't care

She doesn't know what to feel about after what he did.

And forget happiness, I'm fine I'll forget everything in time

He knows that he will never be happy again, because what he thought he wanted, only made him miserable.

I swear I didn't know, You know me, how I can't let go And we're not guts, we're just hacks All that life amongst the cracks The scars, the siege that breaks The ugliest scene, the worst mistakes And everywhere I see her face Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste And there's no innocence like hers Just emptiness and nerves

He tries to explain his actions, he misses her so much, but that doesn't change a thing, despite how broken he was before, she is the only one that could make it all better, but she is gone.

I was so surprised, it blew up in my face Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God... Oh my God, oh my... God

He realizes completely what he has done, he asks for forgiveness, he is surprised be the situation, by how easily he lost control.

And I beg and scream, "I was wrong" It's over, she's gone

nothing can be changed.. what a beatiful and realistic song <3

love this song.

the thing is that everyone can relate to this song or will relate to it eventually. it's about losing your first lover, or so that's what it seems; just someone who means a lot to you.

I hear it as gods, especially with hacks, I feel like "And we're not guts, we're just hacks" I feel like gods fits better than guts...could be my interpretation.

song is pure greatness!

when I first heard this, all I could think of was two lovers.. then I hear it again, I think of two lovers and a child, a child gone. I'd rather it wasn't about that. love is a sometimes violent thing, so the lyrics don't have to line up to literal violence.
