the unbelievable understanding of THE MORNING OF

It feels like a lover
I wont see in the morning
So I keep my eyes open through the night
I TAKE THESE THINGS FOR MORE THAN WHAT THEY'RE WORTH
I TAKE EACH KISS FOR MORE THAN WHAT IT'S MEANT TO BE
Call me a hopeless romantic, call me just being pathetic
I am what I feel and tonight I'm not that much

The new is in, the new is in, I'm feeling better already
I've shed my skin, I've shed my skin, my head is starting to steady

I'm sorry I wont be reachable for days
I'm cutting myself off
Please leave me be, in my misery
I'm making amends with my conscience
So come next year I won't be reachable for days
Because I'm taking time to let the story write it's page
I'm not convinced that there will be no other way

The new is in, the new is in, I'm feeling better already
I've shed my skin, I've shed my skin, my head is starting to steady

Break apart the boy I used to be
And build the man that I've become
I am a saint in sinner's clothing
Watch me save the world
I am a saint in sinner's skin
Now let the healing begin
Let the healing begin, let the healing begin, let the healing begin

The new is in, the new is in, I'm feeling better already
I've shed my skin, I've shed my skin, my head is starting to steady

I can look myself in the eye now
I can feel some magic happening
I can breath on my own now
I can feel my body sinking in
Sinking in, sinking in, sinking in

The new is in, the new is in, I'm feeling better already
I've shed my skin, I've shed my skin, my head is starting to steady
The new is in, the new is in, I'm feeling better already
I've shed my skin, I've shed my skin, my head is starting to steady

-the new is in

when you fall into your silence i find out what they mean when they say that its the quiet ones that always wanna scream

trust me
the quiet ones
the seemingly boring ones
they're the people who have the most feeling
i promise you
when they get away from all these people
the emotion that ensues can only be exemplified by an eruption
a flood
a storm
a sheer outpouring of feeling
in one form or another
i swear
it's these people that belt their favorite songs in the car by themselves
it's these people that let it all out, periodically, in the form of tears poured into pillows
screams barely silenced by the soft bedspread
this HAS to happen
if not, they would literally die
or just blow up
explode
shatter
trust me
i know
i've tried

inches and falling

i love love, i love being in love, i don't care what it does to me..

take these tattered boxes that used to hold your clothes,
break them down, build them back up with your bones
all you do is construct a mess
you're good to me when only flesh
you're a memory, with nothing to show

when we would take trips we swore we'd never take pictures
pictures only prove you can't convince.
now i wish those photographs could convince you that what we had
would only turn out a negative

well well well

if finger tips are, relationships then, i could barely carry the weight
if fingers are mistakes i use this one to point the blame
just sing

i love love, i love being in love, i don't care what it does to me
These pills are fine to pass the time
'til I find my new drug
Then
We'll take our chances
we'll last a month
we'll never speak again

How I love being in love

And don't pick up the line
You're dressed to have a good time
you don't need him, you need to be seen
so someone else can treat you wrong
so you my love can sing this song

I love love
I love being in love
I don't care what it does to me
These pills are fine to pass the time
'til I find my new drug
Then
They'll take advantage
I'll claim that's what I want

To be the new statistic

How I love
How I love
How I love being in love
