Endless Passing Days
it was always gonna be
it could only turn out this way
the trees grow and then they fall
it was meant to be this way
there seemed some point to it all
but in the end it's all the same
to me
to me
from you
to me
to me
you can't think of what to say
in this endless line of passing days
we grow just to whither away
for us all to end in the same place
you came and now you've gone
and in the end it's all the same
to me
to me
from you
to me
from you

Much Too Bright
Hold me close
Let me go
I've seen much too much today
say close the door shut
don't let the light in, darling
then you're left with nothing left to say
you catalogue your friends and foes
so their names will let you know
who to trust and who to throw away
the grit and soot that's on you're feet
feels just like the city streets
your cracked and torn as always time has shown
your sick of the thoughts within your head
sick of lying alone in bed
the mornings wake up so early now
It's much too bright, too bright today
Don't let the light in darling

Tossing Stones
I saw her standing there and she was not alone
I had the presence of mind to stay
the lights were alive, but the night was too tired
you can't think when you're put in your place
she was full of friendly "hello"s, her boy had to go
sitting staring at her beautiful face
you touched her once, twice thinking it's nice
then you forget of what to say
chorus - so, she thinks that she can have it so
you tell her that she can't
oh, you tell yourself that it's okay'
it's only tossing stones away
does she really want it that way
it's only tossing stones away
it's only tossing stones away
so we talked for a while and seeing her smile
I felt a million miles away
her words were full of the past, so I started to ask
but stopped when i heard what she said
she said, "c'mon let's go", but it hurts still so
I couldn't make up my mind just yet
saying "please, please", "No", I just came for the show
let's just leave it and go our own ways
chorus - 2x

Don't Expect Me To
I couldn't help thinking' bout' you
and I never asked you to think of me
I didn't want to cause you to suffer
so it ends up just being me
so please don't expect me to…
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 2x
you reach for me like your' favorite book
loved so worn but still reads the same
but I've been torn down in the time it took
for you to see that you want me again
so please don't expect me to
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 4x
I won't even try
cause I can't make you all mine, all mine
and if you need him
I can't be the one to hold you
cause I ain't got the time
but when I see your eyes
I understand why you need me to
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 4x

False Past
02:55

thinking, thinking you are very smart
thinking you are cause you aren't
dreaming, dreaming of things that you'll see
but you really don't see anything
hoping, hoping you'll be what you'll be
but you really don't wanna be anything
thinking, dreaming, hoping
first you make your mind up, then they tell you what to think
the essence of the truth is all they know
then you come to find that they're not sure of what they mean
passing for a deep deceptive thought
saying, saying so many things
but you're not really saying anything
knowing, knowing the times are so tough
do you really think that you're tough enough
praying, praying for light that you'll see
but you've got no eyes for you to see
saying, knowing, praying
telling yourself not to stop and try another lead
closing every door along the way
the world turns in light but you've forgotten how to blink
misleading rays that masquerade as the sun

Make-up Face

playing your' parents basement games
kissing the boys that got away
you weren't one of them
make-up your face to an empty room
an ugly mirror, eyes full of gloom
your'e only teasing yourself
watching the girls with jealous glee
then falling out on a dead-end street
only to be deceived again
you hold tight to your silly dreams
full of schemes and fantasies
they weren't meant to be
tearing you from the ones you love
shutting you up when you've talked to long
with everyone feels like you're alone
you can only be yourself
can't please no one else
and all the time you've wasted
as you stare across the world
you're only just a girl
and there's nothing wrong
being tossed aside
almost every time
will you ever learn
cause you've played their game too long
being only just their' pawn
with nothing in return
as you stare across the world
you're only just a girl
and there's nothing wrong with you

The Only One

The Only One Breathing
strapped down under charred black skies
i can't escape, they're just keeping me alive
surviving sedated, mechanical breathing
shake me again, i hope i'm dreaming
their beeping is a sick cacophony
there are no blinking eyes to surround me
there are no minds to hold me up high
just their chemicals to keep me satisfied
breathe in, breathe in
i'm the only one who's breathing
suddenly red eyes flash on the screen, "feed me"
my limbs once dead are now again moving
cold clenching hands reach out to grab me
break my bonds, smash my cared for captors
electric stench of smoking bodies
shake me again, i hope that i'm breathing
i try to run across the floor
reaching out for a last resort
reveal to find a blackened sky
so many have died, so many have died
then the sun slashes through the clouds, lights aflame
am i the only one, am i the only one
but their hands come to catch me again
breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in
shake me again, i hope i'm dreaming
breathe in, am i the only one who's breathing
