Surgery

VERSE 1

You draw me in with black crayola

Baby, you make it hard to sleep

You're talented and special and play the boss

I can't surface. I am too deep

And you have got yourself a mess

Too much to clean this house

And you've destroyed chances for redemption

Cut you with a knife

CHORUS

I cut you with a knife

Stabbed you in the heart

Sliced you up

I cut you down

I stabbed you in the heart

VERSE 2

Run away with chains attached

Without me you're still bound

Run so far you find yourself

You think what you left is found

I can hold your hand without a heart

My veins purple or blue

I can see your chest is pounding

Organ beating we are through

CHORUS

I cut you with a knife

Stabbed you in the heart

Sliced you up

I cut you down

I stabbed you in the heart

VERSE 3

Take your body to the westside

Tell them your love shit story

Take yourself to room 13 Surgery

With bloodstained, self filled glory

BRIDGE

They will prescribe the white pill

CHORUS

I cut you with a knife

Stabbed you in the heart

Sliced you up

I cut you down

I stabbed you in the heart

Emptiness.

VERSE 1

Speak to me

Words never to forget

Bite your tongue

With words you will regret

And you will bleed

On pages of my songs

You can stay tonight

Just don't stay too long

CHORUS

Broken promises

Lies upon lies

Reaching for you

Everything dies

We are alone

When together we stand

VERSE 2

Morphine pills ease

All this pain tonight

So intoxicate yourself

Turn off the light

We can't stay sober

When reality caves

Everyone is a robot

Love makes us slaves

CHORUS

Broken promises

Lies upon lies

Reaching for you

Everything dies

We are alone

When together we stand

VERSE 3

When darkness comes

Taking away the flame

Will you reignite the spark

Better left to tame

Feed me the standards

Love seems too real

Show me how cruel

Breaking bones feel

BRIDGE

Leave me here to die

Give me everything you have

CHORUS

Broken promises

Lies upon lies

Reaching for you

Everything dies

We are alone

When together we stand

Miles Away.

VERSE 1

I fall in love with you

When we're together

But when I am alone

It's like you're gone forever

I can not stop a spark

From igniting this fire

But when you're away from me

I'm walking on wire

CHORUS

All I ask is for your voice

When I am a thousand miles away

I'm not asking much of you

I know I can't see your face today

But when I'm gone

You're a thousand miles away

VERSE 2

You said you wanted

Everything to do with me

But when I'm not near

Your heart can't even see

Lonely when you won't call

I'm not a toy on a shelf

When you ignore me like you do

I have to fight a battle with myself

CHORUS

All I ask is for your voice

When I am a thousand miles away

I'm not asking much of you

I know I can't see your face today

But when I'm gone

You're a thousand miles away

VERSE 3

I'm calling you

On the phone inside your mind

Leave a message at the tone

You're something I can't seem to find

Over emotional and you're carefree 

I bend and break so easily

Maybe you have gone too far

But we both live in jealousy

BRIDGE

...and I can't live without you near me

CHORUS

All I ask is for your voice

When I am a thousand miles away

I'm not asking much of you

I know I can't see your face today

But when I'm gone

You're a thousand miles away

Slaughterhouse Love.

VERSE 1

I'm not feeling so sure

of myself anymore 

Sometimes when you come around

I lock my front door

You gave me butterflies

Now they've flown away

You don't give me shelter

From the storm that comes each day

CHORUS

And they say

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

VERSE 2

Come back to me tonight

Like a lucid, crystal dream

I'm haunted by your presence

The ghost who makes me scream

Lock all the trouble away

And lay down on my chest

You left too soon to tell

My love is nothing but a test

CHORUS

And they say

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

VERSE 3

Will you try to lay low

Baby try to realize

My cryptic love investment

Is written across your eyes

It's a cold, dark world

When you act like who you're not

And when I inject you slowly

You'll be immune to what you forgot

BRIDGE

So lie down on the bed

Lay out your worries

rest your head

CHORUS

And they say

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

Frozen Paradise.

VERSE 1

Winter in Michigan

Give me a reason to stay

I've been debating this

Like we met yesterday

Now the snow will fall

As I do week by week

All life is dead

Yet my heart won't be weak

CHORUS

This is a frozen paradise

Iced over by all my regrets

This is a time for change

Yet seasons have not changed yet

Tell me why I can not leave

This frozen paradise

VERSE 2

Love never lasts

Just like Men come and go

Nothing to build on

When you're buried in snow

Yet moments away from you

Feel like icy years

And I drink you down

Like an ice cold beer

CHORUS

This is a frozen paradise

Iced over by all my regrets

This is a time for change

Yet seasons have not changed yet

Tell me why I can not leave

This frozen paradise

VERSE 3

When I see you again

We'll be more than best friends

I'll take you with me

Down this road that won't end

I will be faithful

As long as you stay insane

With nothing to lose

Driving in the left lane

BRIDGE

Crash into my heart

My heart

CHORUS

This is a frozen paradise

Iced over by all my regrets

This is a time for change

Yet seasons have not changed yet

Tell me why I can not leave

This frozen paradise

When The Sun Comes Up.

VERSE 1

I can promise you

I won't let you down

You're more than welcome

To keep coming around

I see a better half

Of me when you're near

You know you're wanted

So be less insecure

I never knew you'd have me

CHORUS

Living when the sun goes down

Acting like I want no one else around

Keeping me awake all night long

You're keeping me alive and strong

You make me fall more each time

Only sleeping when the sun comes up

I'm only dreaming when the sun comes up

VERSE 2

When I count the days

Until I'm lying next to you

I get a warmer sense

Of why we see things through

There's no more room

For pain within in my eyes

When I'm alone with you

You make me realize

I always knew you'd have me

CHORUS

Living when the sun goes down

Acting like I want no one else around

Keeping me awake all night long

You're keeping me alive and strong

You make me fall more each time

Only sleeping when the sun comes up

I'm only dreaming when the sun comes up

VERSE 3

I know I'll dream about you

As I lie down for bed

You've got my heart fueled

With the way you fill my head

Rumor has it

You've got feelings for me

Rumor has it

You're the only boy I see

BRIDGE

I see faith in your eyes

You have me

CHORUS

Living when the sun goes down

Acting like I want no one else around

Keeping me awake all night long

You're keeping me alive and strong

You make me fall more each time

Only sleeping when the sun comes up

I'm only dreaming when the sun comes up

Getaway.

VERSE 1

Do you ever feel like

It's your last chance 

to be a boy or a man

Do you get excited

when your friends call

and ruin all your plans

CHORUS

I'm a free sprit

Free Ride

Make me your alibi

Call the cops

Give me a reason why

I should get away

Burn the bridges

Take me down

I'm getting tired 

of this town

'Cuz I will get away

VERSE 2

Saturday night

You never brought the beer

Drunk without you

No one wants you here

In the palace

of my stupid thoughts

They can't arrest me

If I don't get caught

CHORUS

I'm a free sprit

Free Ride

Make me your alibi

Call the cops

Give me a reason why

I should get away

Burn the bridges

Take me down

I'm getting tired 

of this town

'Cuz I will get away

VERSE 3

I'm a shameless drunk

Well, I can get mean

If they take me away

I'll never stay clean

What's the use

telling me to stop

I just got over

Making it to the top

BRIDGE

Saturday now a Sunday night

Do what you can

I'm going to burn a hole in my jeans

To make you understand

CHORUS

I'm a free sprit

Free Ride

Make me your alibi

Call the cops

Give me a reason why

I should get away

Burn the bridges

Take me down

I'm getting tired 

of this town

'Cuz I will get away
