V1: It's like a bullet through my lungs and the air pours into the street. Like sideshows in train cars Where I'm always playing the lead. Like the questions left unanswered And an ineffective vaccine. Like a promise to conquer my fears When all I feel is defeat. (Yeah) V2: It's like an old man on his death bed And he can't remember his name Like flowers in the springtime For the final frost to claim Like the words left unspoken And language that's profane Like a song that has no meaning When it reaches the refrain (Yeah) V3: Amidst all the moments that I'm addicted to the pain Your kiss is like heroin, Your voice is like rain And it's such a goddamn chore To keep depression at bay But your eyes keep me focused And your words keep me sane

V1: I have a flower, her name is Adrian And I have a lover, a glass of ice and a bottle of Jim And I have a job that makes me want to kill a man And I have a God that forgot to add me to his plan Chorus: But in life, there are few ways to forget By the ploy called self medication Or my wife's delicate skin This life's wearing me thin It's wearing me thin V2: I have a gun, but it's my only friend And when I strum, my guitar is full of regret And I have a beard that's growing gray with time And I have a fear that the church will be empty when I die Chorus (x2)

I treat you like a princess, but I guess that's not enough Yeah, I would do most anything to prove you my love So, you can call me Anakin, I could kill you with my hate But I swear it wouldn't be on purpose, it's just a product of the pain

V1: My mouth is dry from the dusty cigarette smoke That I push from my lungs when I curse your name I put blue paint on our past but it never dried Because you returned to paint it another color The blinds reflect your golden locks of cellophane And suffocate my dreams until the night I can't take off this ring we share together It's glued to my finger and my tears Chorus: But I'll tear down these walls Before you trap my heart again In your widowed web of betrayal And I'll sink with my ship Before you point your cannon 'Cause I'm lost at sea anyway V2: I'm stuck on the bottle, trying to forget your face But it's slowly running dry And I'm trying to get far away from this place 'Cause my memory's full of you I wrote you a song to show you that I loved you But it's stashed away in the fireplace I am two steps from falling six-feet under and you won't even care that I'm gone Chorus

V1: Tell me what's the point? I'm losing my mind I've fallen through the cracks I'm wasting my time V2: I used to have a soul But now I'm just a shell I've withered away In my own personal hell Chorus: So tell me what's the point? I've lost sight of the end In a world full of tragedies Where the hell do I begin? Because I used to have a soul Until my conscious caved in I jumped off buildings like airplanes It's so easy to pretend So damn easy to pretend Bridge: I've been falling pray to my mind again Will I ever be good enough? My weakness lies in imperfections My weakness lies in my affection V3: The sun dries my skin And wind chaps my lips I've been taking on water I'm just another sinking ship V4: My body is breaking I'm turning into stone I'm a closet with no light That the nightmares call their home Chorus (x2)

V1: I've fallen in a coma, another complicated delicacy By the shorelines of Cape Cod in a moment of infidelity Where my mind's a broken record and my heart's a damned hyperbole And I promise I'm sober but all I want to do is take a drink Since my soul's been abandoned like a penny on the side of the street Taking tips out of coffee cans so my life can find a little meaning There is no meaning from what I've seen. Chorus: Throw me to the wayside Throw me to the wayside It's time for me to forget It's time for me to forget And I'll drink 'til the day I die Yeah, I'll drink 'til the day I die 'Cause I have to kill what's left I have to kill what's left V2: A little idiosyncrasy, like a bite from a styrofoam cup Yet another flawed perspective in the spirit of the young With the residue of bold coffee and a level of distrust And the taste of stale cigarettes resting on your tongue Always scared of losing control or what will become While falling into habits instead of falling in love What the hell is love anyway? Chorus Bridge: I'm just so goddamn tired of feeling Chorus

I bet you think that I need you Like somehow my life revolves around yours And I'm stuck in a pursuit of your acceptance Like the way a wave craves the shore If you keep filling your head with these fantasies They'll eventually become real

What color is your nail polish today? Is it something you pick based on taste? Pieces of blue or purple stuck in your teeth And I'm always left here wondering What color you picked because I'm so consumed You are my everything and I'm nothing to you

V1: I'm tired of singing in metaphors To tell you how much you broke me Because saying the sky cracked open Is less meaningful than saying it was my heart V2: And I need you to know how much it hurts Even though I say that it doesn't Because I thought that holding on to you Wouldn't be so fucking hard Chorus: So let's give up This is useless And I'm bleeding myself dry (x2) V3: It's great that you've moved on to him But don't you dare rub it in my face Because I'm so goddamned depressed And stuck here all alone V4: I know, i know, I get the hint You think it's too hard I'm not asking for too much I just want to know that someone cares Chorus Chorus/Bridge: So let's give up This is useless And I'm bleeding myself dry So let's give up Just give up Let's just give up and let it die I still love you You're still so beautiful But it's time to let it die So let's just give up Just give up Just give up and let it die

Intro: Wake up And feel the fire burning Or maybe that's just the sun Wake up And smell the coffee brewing Or maybe that's just the blood Wake up And my memories are spewing Or maybe that's just the lust Wake up What dream am I pursuing? To be a king without a son (Guitar Fill) V1: What the hell is wrong with me? I've been falling prey to my mind again Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be good enough I'm so tired of feeling this way "Don't fall in love with me," she said But really meant was, "Don't take advantage" Chorus: 'Cause I'm obsessed And I'm obsessed with my obsession And I watch her fall asleep in bed at night 'Cause I'm obsessed And I'm obsessed with my obsession When in the hell will this obsession die? V2: I miss the smell of Camel Menthols Stained in your hair like a fine red wine I miss those days you said you love me Until I found all you ever did was lie I miss the smell of Flowerbomb Radiating from you wrists I miss the way you wore my clothes Even though they didn't fit I miss the thought of when we first touched And you said that we both knew what happened there And then the ring, it's useless, it's sitting in my desk drawer And it's something you will never wear Chorus: 'Cause I'm obsessed And I'm obsessed with my obsession And I watch her fall asleep in bed at night 'Cause I'm obsessed And I'm obsessed with my obsession When in the hell will my obsession die? Chorus: Yeah I'm obsessed And I'm obsessed with my obsession When in the hell will this obsession die? (x2) Maybe never
