Pretend

Haven't slept a wink since you left and I'm trying
To keep this train on it's tracks
Everyone keeps saying get over it, get over it
As I stood there
And Looked into your eyes, I knew
It was over and we were done
There had to be someone else
In case you didn't know
I've still got nowhere to go
I still have that same, dusty old sweater
I'm desperately trying to hold it together
Please don't speak
I know just what you're thinking
Please just stay tonight
Whether or not you say we're still friends
I know it's a lie and this is the end
I don't wanna make believe or play pretend
Every time, I tried to sign
I just spilled bullets with my pen
I drank myself to happiness
So I can fall asleep tonight
In case you didn't know
I've still got nowhere to go
I still have that same, dusty old sweater
I'm desperately trying to hold it together
Please don't speak
I know just what you're thinking
Please just stay tonight
Whether or not you say we're still friends
I know it's a lie and this is the end
I don't wanna make believe or play pretend

Another late night and another gun fight
Wondering if i'm strong enough to hold the weight of my scars
The tide is rising but my ship still floats
Just go ahead and hand me the oars
Inside my head the storm is ranging
And i keep tearing through these pages
My pencil dulls these words that i have wrote
If you'd only kiss me i'd take you down to your knees
Years of scars and broken bones
Have become all that i seem to know
Under your foot it feels like a brick
And my lungs still burn from the cigarettes
I keep waging this war upon myself
Feeling like a fool when talking was such a chore
I held my ground I stood my post
But still i'm inclined to give up the ghost
Will you have wool blankets and sweaters to keep you warm
Will the people that love you hold you close

I C Dead People

Once a week I'm talking to the dead
I'm starting to think that I've been mislead
Haunted by voices that tear me apart
And I don't know where to start
Work like a slave and the whipping post is
Friends see strangers more than me
The tales I keep to myself for their benefit
Torture me and haunt my dreams
Need you to see all these things
Hidden in my eyes, glistening
The things that I can not bear to tell
The secrets of my own personal hell
(Chorus)
So wake me up now
I feel so alone
The years have flown by
Turning me to stone
Take me now from
These streets that I roam
And wake me up now
Please send me home
Lost love and children's pride
are stripped from us and the pain we hide.
And the wrecked remains of our tortured souls
Are all that's left inside...
We worked for scratch but gave it our all.
The time put in was not worth the fall.
So close your eyes and sleep
Dream easy knowing that you are safe
All your friends
And all your hopes
And all the things
That you hold dear
Rest free because of rough men who took your place
So wake me up now
I feel so alone
The years have flown by
Turning me to stone
Take me now from
These streets that I roam
And wake me up now
Please send me home

In My Heart

Just another wasted day
9 to 5 getting in the way
Of everything and
All our dreams
Another year is gone
Wasting time singing songs
Nothing good to show for it
And isn't it the truth, but
It's in my heart
Not in my head
I feel it inside
The music I've bled
I've been asked to settle down
I've been told to straighten up
But nothing I've seen
Join the machine
I just can't drop and leave
Everything that I know
For something that's so
Hollow and shallow
It's in my heart
Not in my head
I feel it inside
The music I've bled
It's in my heart
Not in my head
I feel it inside
The music I've bled
