Verse 1:

The cold concrete

cuts against her back

And her spirit spills with

blood on to the pavement

Hands tied so tight

behind your neck

And a silence falls

and everything changes

Everything dies to you

Nothing's alive to you anymore

I guess you've gotten more

than you may have wanted

Chorus:

If I could take your

pain away (Pain away)

I would scream for you

And I`ll bleed for you

(For you feel this way)

So you`ll never feel

this way (Again)

When you're in my

arms (Again)

I would scream for you

I will bleed for you

Verse 2:

She drowns herself until

the images erase

But the skin is bruised

all along her thighs

Nightmares repeat refrain

the memories remain

The mental photographs

haunting all the time

She shuts her eyes to you

She tries to hide from you

She falls asleep into

dreams where she is safe

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

So put the weight

on my shoulders

And the pain in my heart

Tie the knots in my stomach

And let it tear me apart

So I could be

Everything you need

Put the weight

on my shoulders

And the pain in my heart

Tie the knots in my stomach

Let it tear me apart

So tear me apart

You say you are

Verse 3:

And this silence strips me bare

And the body pins me down

Ive never been so scared to breathe

Afraid to make a sound

But all I know

Kick and scream and bite and bleed

and make believe it's all a dream

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:

Pain away

I won't scream for you

I will bleed for you

Pain away

Dm(hold)

I will bleed for you

The boy has got skill, but the girl's got notion

He's smart enough, but he lacks devotion

And that's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone

You only take it so far then leave it all behind

So tonight I'm making up my mind

Before we take this too far and leave it all behind

Verse 2:

So rise up to the occasion

'Cause you're all excuse with no explaination

You've got minor details filling major gaps in your memory

So just trace your footsteps back to where this all started

Before you got yourself broken hearted

Now just keep your head down

'Cause you'll never figure it out

(Repeat Chorus)

Yeah

And I'll miss you when I'm gone, I'll sing you a sad song

tonight

And I'll miss you when I'm gone, I'll sing you a sad song

But you'll never get it right

while the rubber necking strangers are dying to see this victim's

wounds cause he’s all alone with his notebooks and poems

in this empty grave where he wrote all of his secrets that became his

lyrics with no intent to show anyone

Chorus:

and we give and we give

but its all for nothing

its all for nothing

we try to resist but I give

everything and its all for nothing

Verse 2:

so the panic sets and cycles his mind for restless sleep

while the blood sucking leeches contaminate every line they read

just leave him alone in this dark room this white sheet tightly wrapped

cocoon cause its no secret I fucking need this Like I don’t need anyone

(Repeat Chorus twice)

Bridge:

Part 1:

It's like I’m falling asleep with my eyes open

shutting down and off the lights

cause after all of this it’s all or nothing

still I wouldn’t try to fight

Repeat Bridge: Part 1 while singing this line with another vocalist

and you'll lie to all your friends

about sights you never saw

and you'll preach to all the press

about what you don't know at all

at all

Interlude: D5-G5 (x2) 1 strum each power chord

Part 2: Another vocalist singing while plucking the guitar 2

So let me drown so I can breathe again I’m through choking and

suffocating on alter egos and alterior motives which weigh you down and

take control of the way you are and the things that you need the life

you live and the dreams that you dream distort and blur all in slow

motion they broke you down and now you're broken and it’s sadder than

the saddest movie I ever saw but without the beauty so I stopped

watching, I stopped caring I lost all interest and I stopped wearing

these plastic smiles I’ll wash my hands clean I'll forget that you

forgot about me and I’ll live the life, the big city feeling

cause it’s better than suburban dreaming Living off the friends that

hate you who talk shit on me like I don't know who my real friends are

anymore no I don’t know you anymore and it’s sadder than the saddest

movie I ever saw but without the beauty so I'll stopped watching, I'll

stopped caring

(First vocalist singing in background)

spill the ink and spill your guts again

spill the ink and spill your guts again!!!

(Repeat Bridge Part 1)

Verse 1:

Long goodbyes and second chances

Forgiving all we fight

for forgetting all we lose

Cuz we're losing it all

the way things happen

Doing all we do to fill up the quiet

Break the awkward silence

consuming our lives

We're spending our time

keeping our distance

Speaking trivial and trite

And I'll find some way

to cut myself open

Over and over again

And I'll find some way

D(hold)

to bury it all

Chorus:

And so let's be honest

Because I am

through holding

my breath as my

lungs breathe in

The air is to thin

inside this room

Verse 2:

I need this like

water in my lungs

Drowning in

silence biting

my restless tongue

Cuz we're to consumed

to shallow

Playing the victims

playing the innocent ones

So don't breathe in the air

Leave me gasping for air

Go and breathe everything i am

Every bend reaches a break

but that's a sore subject

we don't know or care where we go

just turn up that radio

So long sincerity escape your mind

its your save haven from reality

It seems like just yesterday

when we would stay up late

out on your front lawn

talking about where we've been

and all the places we're going

we would lose track of time watching

cars pass us by and I would

sneak back home before the sunrise

and how everyday would seem so

long and every night would

(hold)

go on and on and on

(Repeat Chorus twice)

Bridge:

Still bleeding from

these back stabbed scars

young boys dying in

an old mans war

and your sympathy

cant take that away

and every night would

go on and on and on

escape from reality

when it's so hard to breathe

To see you suffering

Verse 1:

So assuming that this

weekend there's

A part of me that's thinking

Of coming up to join you

E (break)

You know I sure wouldnt want to

Ruin all your chances

On your one night stand romances

Doing tequila shots

I always loved you

but it was never enough

Refrain 1:

And while your licking

salt off of each other

Know that I'll be wishing

Throwing some over my shoulder

form upon your lips

So the alcohol burns

warm with every sip

Are you burning now?

Dial 911 emergency

To cool you down

Verse 2:

And when you wake

tommorow morning with

A hang over from hell

Don't bother calling me

There's no need for

you to kiss and tell

Because tonight will be my night

I'm calling all my friends

The boys are going out tonight

The potion in our bottles

it will be singing me to sleep

The worm at the bottom and

it's taunting me to be a creep

Refrain 2:

It says Hey man

stand up for yourself

Hey man I've got a plan for

you It's working oh so well

Chorus 2:

I picked up the pay phone

and I held the zero down

Please operator collect

call to Allentown

The call came back rejected

but that operator was kind

Enough to talk to me and get

me through to the

middle of the night

Yeah so tonight

will be my night

I'm calling all

my friends the boys are

going out tonight
