we were lying together when you just gave up no more time for life, you had had enough you had just woke up in another place i had just woke up to your blood red face you took a walk that we'd always said we'd take i put my foot on that bridge but it would always shake i can't believe you'd stare into the devil's face just so you could be free from this wretched place i sat on a hill and watched cars pass by underneath a tree, and i asked myself why would she do it, and why this way? and my questions were picked up by wind and found their way into the fray that night your mother called to ask about you "is she really gone, is it all true?" we wore black and white, and we stood in a line we wore black and white together, we cried

Funeral 03:21
its just like a birthday all your friends are here they're singing you a song but there's no three cheers we build a house of laughter and your pet wolf blows it down we built a home together and god burned it to the ground have a nice life down there i hear its warm this ktime of year i know i'll miss you but you didn't like it here or you could come back to me get out of that urn sit under our tree please just return i just want to die with you by my side just give me that just give me that it can't be that hard to go change the past i'm sure she'll come back how long could this last? you're not really dead its just in my head you're not really dead you're not really dead you're not really dead you're not fucking dead

i start my day wrapped in shades of grey you slipped away without me there you slipped away you just don't care you slipped away you slipped away you slipped away and i just can't keep hold of you and i just have to push on through and all i have is memories sweet memories sweet memories i start my day in search of something good i think of you i don't know why i think of you how hard i've tried i think of you i think of you i think of you and you just sit there in the ground no moon, no sun, no wind, no sound dirt fills your eyes but you don't care and one day i will join you there one day, i swear i'll join you there i'll join you there i'll join you there i'll join you there i'll join you there

Extra 06:13
do yourself a favour walk away she's trouble do yourself a favour forget her face you won't be seeing it much more the nights aren't getting colder you're just strung out each day you're getting older it won't rub out you won't forget that face anytime soon you drink yourself to death every night you want to make her proud but you just can't you have a while to go just yet so walk away this time

Whiskey 04:49
she's gone forever let's take a drink of whiskey i bought it from the liquor store it only cost me fifty i can afford it, even more cause first i get the money and then i get the women too i swear i drink it for the taste i swear its not just for the feeling the feeling the feeling the feeling let's sit and wait for your damn bus it comes every hour or so i don't know what else to say i don't know how to make you go so let's just sit and drink more i bought it from the liquor store i swear i drink it for the taste i swear it's not just for the feeling the feeling the feeling the feeling she's gone forever let's take a walk through my backyard you always liked to hang around how could you you fucking cunt we only wanted to laugh we only wanted to live i swear i drink it for the taste i swear it's not just to forget forget forget forget forget forget forget forget

i hate this chord progression but i'm a lazy fucking cunt i haven't climbed the hill cause i know i'm fucked and always will let's disappear like every year to a place that no one knows let's go again just one more time i've never felt this great in my life the only reason that i'm scared of night is no one kills themselves when its bright how can we smile so much as we tell each other "i'm dead inside" "dead inside" let's disappear like every year to a place that no one knows let's go again just one more time i've never felt this great in my life let's disappear like every year to a place that no one knows i don't want to i just have to i know it kills me that's what you do i'm not happy unless i'm dying i'm not happy i'm not happy i don't want to i just have to i know it kills me i don't mind i know it kills me i don't care i know it kills me but i like it but i like it lets go again just one more time i've never felt this great in my life

Old Faces 02:35
faces that i can't see voices that i can't hear places that i can't go people i can't look in the eye the eye memories that i can't stand feelings that won't go away nights that i won't see air that i won't breathe breathe

Liar Liar 04:05
you are such a liar liar you've got your pants on fire a time to be born a time to die a time to kill and a time to heal a time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance a time for the reckless the old and the sick a time to be born again you are you've got your pants on fire a time to be born a time to die a time to kill and a time to heal a time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance a time for the reckless the old and the sick a time to be born again

its been a year, and there's no sign of change your ghost still haunts me, i can't speak your name all i want is to no longer weep not that much longer 'til i fall asleep swift to its close ebbs out life's little day earths joys grow dim, it's glories pass away change and decay in all around i see o, thou who changes not, abide with me

A Memory 03:00
we sat in the dark it was cold and wet in that park couldn't see for a mile no light at the end of this tunnel no way out of this we're fucked and we damn well know it but we try out luck i'm in love but i'm not gonna show it then i saw you in that light your eyes shone true and bright your hair, your nose, your smile why don't we sit here for a while? we sat in that park it was cold and wet and dark couldn't see for a mile but you're my angel with the shining red smile no way this'll turn out good i'm in love but i'm not gonna show it but we try our luck i'm in love but i'm not gonna show it i'm in love but i'm not gonna show it then i saw those city lights yellow green and white and the red of cars they were our own little stars that reflected in your eyes and at the speed of light my soul ran with them too there's no stopping me 'til i'm with you orange trees blurred the road as we went down the street when you lay your head on my arm i was completely in love with life and in love with you and i didn't know what i was gonna do people swarmed like smoke slowly onto the bus took their place, hid their face, didn't take note of us i sat there thinking back to our dream as we sat next to that pitch black stream and i held you like a glass of coke filled to the top, so you wouldn't choke on your words, just in case you turned to me to say i loved that day
