WHO NEEDS AIR.
I long to taste adventure like the nature of the sea, Always moving, always hiding all the creatures from beneath. Singing silent songs of sadness my heart waits for its chance, To dance upon the ashes of my burned up little plans. And I stand alone before the night. My nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight. Life is old but so short. We are young we want more. I'm drowning, but I don't care, Because when you got what I got, what I got Who needs air? I don't need air. My addiction to danger like the rush of the sea, Like a wave on the rocks the lessons crash down on me. I don't need to prove the world to you only to myself. So step back and look away as I dive into the swell. I'm drowning, but I don't care, Because when you got what I got, what I got Who needs air? So take me down to the river like a little child, and take my hand and tell me it's ok to be wild, I never knew the world until I saw it through your eyes, I never knew myself until I ripped off my disguise (I ripped off my disguise) I'm drowning, but I don't care, Because when you got what I got, what I got who needs air? I'm drowning, but I don't care, Because when you've got what I got, what I got You don't need air. (x2) [in the background](I have come to the realization that life is more than what I have accomplished. And life is more then the realization that we have accomplished nothing at all. True success is so selfless so drown in the lyrics of your life and give up the air that you breathe. You don't need anything. You don't need anything) I don't need air


I'M A SUCKER FOR FAKES.
I'll classify Every word out of your lips as a lie Until you're lying beneath the dirt and the soil Hailed as the king of deceivers and cheats You've got a lot to learn More best friends to burn More malignant lies to conjure I'm down and out For now, but till the day you die I will haunt your dreams When you decide To paint your white picket fence Be sure to use the purest his money can buy With every stroke, brush over the past And smother the true grain of your tainted life You've got more guts to churn An eternity to burn You're about as innocent as cancer I'm down and out For now, but till the day you die I will haunt your dreams I hope your breathing doesn't come easy I pray to God I'm all you dream I hope feel my touch Hear my voice Taste my lips With ever sip of noise Save your tears Don't apologize All you'll hear is Goodbye Until you're a memory You're a memory Until you're a memory You're a memory


BREAKING THE HABIT.
Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room Unless I try to start again I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I know it's not all right So I'm breaking THE habit I'm breaking the habit tonight Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more Than any time before I have no options left again I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be all right So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity To show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be all right So I'm breaking a habit I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit... tonight


SEATTLE.
My real estate My life is dull And dried up like the sound A voice makes when the heart grows cold And it’s going that way I think I’ll move out of state Somewhere far from Seattle city lights They burn my eyes California sounds nice but California’s a lie Maybe I’m out of luck Or maybe I’m just blind All this time Rain on my hopes Rain on my soul Rain on everything that I know It feels so ludicrous The pursuit of this dream We thought we’d be there long ago My life is like a rolling river So muddy and absurd And although I might be mistaken I know that I’ll be heard And I find the sec I try to pull away I’m thrown back in line All this time So Rain on my hopes Rain on my soul Rain on everything that I know It feels so ludicrous The pursuit of this dream We thought we’d be there long ago Rain on my hopes Rain on my soul Rain on everything that I know It feels so ludicrous The pursuit of this dream We thought we’d be there long ago And we are all looking for the same thing The same thing Seattle is calling me back home Back home So Rain on my hopes Rain on my soul Rain on everything that I know It feels so ludicrous The pursuit of this dream We thought we’d be there long ago Rain on my hopes Rain on my soul Rain on everything that I know It feels so ludicrous The pursuit of this dream We thought we’d be there long ago


WHEN I'M GONE.
There's another world inside of me That you may never see There're secrets in this life That I can't hide Somewhere in this darkness There's a light that I can't find Maybe it's too far away... Or maybe I'm just blind... Or maybe I'm just blind... [Chorus] So hold me when I'm here Right me when I'm wrong Hold me when I'm scared And love me when I'm gone Everything I am And everything in me Wants to be the one You wanted me to be I'll never let you down Even if I could I'd give up everything If only for your good So hold me when I'm here Right me when I'm wrong You can hold me when I'm scared You won't always be there So love me when I'm gone Love me when I'm gone... When your education X-Ray Cannot see under my skin I won't tell you a damn thing That I could not tell my friends Roaming through this darkness I'm alive but I'm alone Part of me is fighting this But part of me is gone [Chorus] Or maybe I'm just blind... [Chorus] Love me when I'm gone... Love me when I'm gone When I'm Gone When I'm Gone When I'm Gone


BAD HABIT.
biting keeps your words at bay tending to the sores that stay happiness is just a gash away when i open a familiar scar pain goes shooting like a star comfort hasn't failed to follow so far... and you might say it's self-indulgent you might say its self-destructive but, you see, it's more productive than if i were to be healthy & pens and penknives take the blame crane my neck & scratch my name but the ugly marks are worth the momentary gain... when i jab a sharpened object in choirs of angels seem to sing hymns of hate in memorandum and you might say it's self-indulgent and you might say it's self-destructive but, you see, it's more productive than if i were to be happy and sappy songs about sex and cheating bland accounts of two lovers meeting make me want to give mankind a beating and you might say it's self-destructive but, you see, i'd kick the bucket sixty times before i'd kick the habit and as the skin rips off i cherish the revolting thought that even if i quit there's not a chance in hell i'd stop and anyone can see the signs mittens in the summertime thank you for your pity, you are too kind and you might say its self-inflicted but you see that's contradictive why on earth would anyone practice self destruction? and pain opinions are sitcom feeding they dont know that their minds are teething makes me want to give mankind a beating i'm tried bandages and sinking i've tried gloves and even thinking i've tried vaseline i've tried everything and no-one cares if your back is bleeding they're concerned with their hair receding looking back it was all maltreating every thought that occurred misleading makes me want to give myself a beating....
