the sharpest lives.

Well it rains and it pours
When you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing
I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave

This alone, you're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band

There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before he goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

listening to. the sharpest lives. MCR.

in the city.

Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay

I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night

In the city

where would we be now?

Now I must confess, that I'm a sinking ship.
And I'm anchored by the weight of my heart.
Cause it's filled with these feelings.
But I keep my true thoughts locked, beside my hearts black box.
And it won't be found, it won't survive through the smoke or the wreckage.
So I crash and burn, I got a lot of things to learn.

listening to. where would we be now. GC.

massachusetts.

Feel I'm goin back to Massachusetts
Somethings telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left him standing on his own

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you

Talk about the life in Massachusetts
Speak about the people I have seen
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen

I will remember Massachusetts . . .

listening to. massachusetts.

perfect weapon.

Awake at night you focus,
On everyone whose hurt you,
And write a list of targets,
Your violent lack of virtue.

We are breathing,
While you're sleeping,
And leave us alone,
The lines cheated,
Our hearts beating,
And now you're on your own.

Here's to your perfect weapon,
Crack bones with blind aggression,
Like birds whose wings are broken,
You live without direction.

Leave us alone!
You're on your own!

something.

So now you're running, it's hard to see clearly
When I make you angry, you're stuck in the past
And now you're screaming, so can you forgive me?
I've treated you badly, but I am still here

Sometimes I wonder, why I'm still waiting
Sometimes I'm shaking, that's how you make me
Sometimes I question why I'm still here
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy

Can you help me understand?

You look at me through clouded eyes,
I know you see through my lies
See the sky, see the stars;
All of this could be ours
Out of sight, out of mind,
We've been through this a thousand times
Turn your back and then you make me feel so crazy

And now you wish that you meant something
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
And now you wish that you met someone
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else

You know I would wait forever
Yes, I would wait

And I'm the one that should mean something
But still you wish that you meant something to somebody else
Something to somebody else.

the flood.

I can't believe,
The drama that I'm in,
The flood is getting closer,
I don't think they know that I know how to swim,
You're feeling numb, from all that has become.
It leaves your gums, slips down your tongue,
and travels fast down towards your lungs.
All because IM LEAVING YOU BEHIND.

I can't believe
The troubles that you've caused,
The pain is getting stronger
like an open wound without the gauze,
It's on my brain, driving me insane.
It's on my mind all of the time and if it left I would be fine,
All because I'm leaving you behind

I feel the pressure,
It's coming down on me,
It's turning me black and blue,
Oh whoa
You left me on the side of the road
And now I've got no place to go,
You brought the flood!


I take it back take it back!
take it back!
Leaving me!

listening to. the flood. escape the fate.

not good enough for truth in cliche.

Hurtful words,
From my enemies of the last five years,
What's it like to die alone?

How does it feel when tears freeze,
When you cry?
The blood in your veins is twenty below.

So for now, take this down a notch,
Crash my car through your window,
Make sure you're still alive,
Just in time to kill you,

Sitting in this room playing Russian roulette,
Finger on the trigger to my dear Juliet,
Out from the window see her back drop silhouette,
This blood on my hands is something I cannot forget,

Something I cannot forget.

I can't take this take anymore
I cannot feel what you've done to me

So for now, take this down a notch,
Crash my car through your window,

Sitting in this room playing Russian roulette,
Finger on the trigger to my dear Juliet,
Out from the window see her back drop silhouette,
This blood on my hands is something I cannot forget,

Something I cannot forget.
