I really need to talk with you I keep stepping on the vein That keeps my lifeline flowing thru I wanna be your perfect stick of glue But I don’t feel perfect at all Sad and insecure flaw
I find it hard to hold conversation I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away Its not you its strictly me in this situation I’m wondering will it ever go away…just go away
sometimes I feel like weeping awake and when I’m sleeping perfecting how to put a game face on
this puzzle I’ve been keeping has been in hiding creeping out the closet door spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up pieces How long will I be picking up my heart
I’ll be as honest as I feel I’m getting more paranoid and I’m hearing things And they never turn out real It feels like my heart is made of pure steel It’s just so heavy all the time
Yea I’m scared of death And I’m scared of living I gave up on the past cause it’s unforgiving I misplaced my trust
I watched my word begin to rust I’m a balloon about to bust I need a place for reliving
But sometimes I feel like weeping awake and when I’m sleeping perfecting how to put a game face on
this puzzle I’ve been keeping has been in hiding creeping out the closet door spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up pieces How long will I be picking up my heart
How long (in another space and time) Will I be picking up pieces in the corner of my mind How long (its getting oh so hard to find) Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind But I still walk on
Telling me to go But hands beg me to stay Your lips say that you love Your eyes say that you hate
Theres truth in your lies Doubt in your faith What you build you lay to waste Theres truth in your lies Doubt in your faith All I′ve gots what you didn′t take
So I, I wont be the one Be the one to leave this in pieces And you, you will be alone Alone with all your secrets and regrets Dont lie
You promise me the sky Then toss me like a stone You wrap me in your arms And chill me to the bone
Theres truth in your lies Doubt in your faith All I′ve gots what you didn′t take
So I, I wont be the one Be the one to leave this in pieces And you, you will be alone Alone with all your secrets and regrets Dont lie
So I, I wont be the one Be the one to leave this in pieces And you, you will be alone Alone with all your secrets and regrets Dont lie
I looked away Then I look back at you You try to say The things that you can′t undo If I had my way I′d never get over you Today′s the day I pray that we make it through Make it through the fall Make it through it all
[Chorus:] And I don′t wanna fall to pieces I just want to sit and stare at you I don′t want to talk about it And I don′t want a conversation I just want to cry in front of you I don′t want to talk about it Cuz I′m in Love With you
You′re the only one, I′d be with till the end When I come undone You bring me back again Back under the stars Back into your arms
[Chorus]
Wanna know who you are Wanna know where to start I wanna know what this means
Wanna know how you feel Wanna know what is real I wanna know everything, everything
[Chorus without last line]
[Chorus]
I′m in love with you Cuz i′m in love with you I′m in love with you I′m in love with you
I tried to be perfect But nothing was worth it I don’t believe it makes me real I thought it’d be easy But no one believes me I meant all the things I said
If you believe it’s in my soul I’d say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I’m trying to let you know That I’m better off on my own
This place is so empty My thoughts are so tempting I don’t know how it got so bad Sometimes it’s so crazy That nothing can save me But it’s the only thing that I have
If you believe it’s in my soul I’d say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I’m trying to let you know That I’m better off on my own
On my own
I tried to be perfect It just wasn’t worth it Nothing could ever be so wrong It’s hard to believe me It never gets easy I guess I knew that all along
If you believe it’s in my soul I’d say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I’m trying to let you know That I’m better off on my own
Turn around and pick up the pieces I, like a rock, sink Sinking til I hit the bottom The water is much deeper than I thought Nothing to swim with Kicking but I keep sinking A lesson that no one could have ever taught Cause I can almost breathe the air Right beyond my fingertips I′ll turn around and pick up the pieces One more push and I′ll be there Back where I belong I′ll turn around and pick up the pieces I see the picture Blurry but now it′s in focus A fairy tale I purchased on my own I finally woke up Everything is better A chance for me to open up and grow I can almost breathe the air Right beyond my fingertips I′ll turn around and pick up the pieces One more push and I′ll be there Back where I belong I′ll turn around and pick up the pieces Suffocating sinking further almost everyday Barely treading water knowing I will not give up I will not give up I will not give up I can almost breathe the air Right beyond my fingertips I′ll turn around and pick up the pieces One more push and I′ll be there Back where I belong I′ll turn around and pick up the pieces Turn around and pick up the pieces
I was way off track from start I judged everything by my damned heart I walked unprotected ′gainst the blows How was I suppose to really know
When you think you know what′s the right thing to do And you find you just don′t have a clue And when things turn out to be not what they seemed You are caught walking barefoot on glass With your head firmly stuck up your ass
I was coming down in pieces you bet I was coming down What goes up believe me surely must hit hard the ground I was coming down in pieces yet I was sound enough to say I′m the only one to blame, yeah, so get out of my damn f*ckin′ way
I scratched my walls ′till my fingers bled I tried to get it all out of my f*ckin′ head I was really deep down for quite some time It took quite a while to leave it all behind
When it hits ya′ and you don′t think that you′ll make it through And the times when a hell will stick to ya′ like glue And it seems very effort is destined to fail You′ll be surprised how you sh*t you can take Before you give it in and you start to break
I was coming down in pieces...
When you think you know...
Now I know should I go there again To hit the bottom don′t need to mean the end
I′ve been twisting and turning, In a space that′s too small. I′ve been drawing the line and watching it fall, You′ve been closing me in, closing the space in my heart. Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart.
Chorus Well I can′t explain why it′s not enough, Cause I gave it all to you. And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now. Its the better thing to do, Its time to surrender, Its been to long pretending. Theres no use in trying, When the pieces dont fit anymore, Pieces dont fit here anymore.
You pulled me under, I had to give in. Such a beautiful myth, Thats breaking my skin. Well i′ll hide all the bruises, I′ll hide all the damage thats done. But I show how Im feeling until all the feeling has gone.
(Chorus)
Ooh don′t missunderstand, How I feel. Cause I′ve tried, yes I′ve tried. But still I don′t know why, no I dont know why. III dont know why...... whyyyyyyyy!
I found a piece of What I want to find I got a taste of What′s on the outside I feel it pounding I feel it bending I feel it breaking Breaking me inside
I got Not yet Smashing my Fucking fist (My frustration)
My body, my mind My soul and my life So far, so near So hard, so clear My body, my mind My soul and my life Too far to go Too high, too low
Killing me inside Take a drink forget Chemical passion Drowning my defect I feel it pounding I feel it bending I feel it breaking All that is perfect
I got Not yet Smashing my Fucking fist (My frustration)
My body, my mind My soul and my life So far, so near So hard, so clear My body, my mind My soul and my life Too far to go Too high, too low
I started to think I′m starting to think I′m constantly loosing, who you want me to be You started to Die I start to rely And confide because I, I do what ever I can Pero me mata, ya no sirve It′s driving me insane And it′s fucked up, that′s what this is And it′s never gonna change
I′m Picking up the pieces Every time you leave me here I′m a mess And I must confess to you La gente me lo dice cuando ya - right here Cabes no mas Perdiras la paz
I shudder to think I shout out to think The only confusion′s who you want me to be I started to lie You start to deny And defy because I, I do whatever I can It′s killing me to face this It′s driving me insane It′s fucked up, that′s what this is And it′s never gonna change
You want to leave We′ll fly away To give and keep We′ll die awake Caminos sin destino Caminas, con tus ojos sin caminos The map will have to be re-drawn And the sky will dress all in black For 60 days the air will disappear For 50 days you will know me Holding your hand till the last dance Right into this ballroom of circumstance We′ll die awake
I′m Picking up the pieces Every time you leave me here I′m a mess And I must confess to you La gente me lo dice cuando ya - right here Cabes no mas Perdiras la paz
There’s a boy, lost his way, looking for someone to play There’s a girl, in the window, tears rolling down her face We’re only lost children, Trying to find a friend Trying to find our way back home
We don’t know where to go, So I’ll just get lost with you We’ll never fall apart, cause we fit together right, we fit together right These dark clouds over me, rain down and roll away We’ll never fall apart, cause we fit together like two pieces of a broken heart
I know where we could go And never feel let down again We can build sandcastles, I’ll be the queen, you’ll be my king We’re only lost children, Trying to find a friend Trying to find our way back home
We don’t know where to go, So I’ll just get lost with you We’ll never fall apart, cause we fit together right, we fit together right These dark clouds over me, rain down and roll away We’ll never fall apart, cause we fit together like two pieces of a broken heart
Now I can lay my head down and fall asleep Oh, but I don’t have to fall asleep to see my dreams, cause they’re right there in front of me
There’s a boy, lost his way, looking for someone to play
We don’t know where to go, So I’ll just get lost with you We’ll never fall apart, cause we fit together right, we fit together right These dark clouds over me, rain down and roll away We’ll never fall apart, cause we fit together like, we fit together like two pieces of a broken heart
There’s a boy, lost his way, looking for someone to play
2 pieces of drama The hammer′s bout′ to fall 2 pieces of drama there′s gunplay in the hall 2 pieces of drama Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire 2 pieces of drama Boy you know not to play with fire
He rocks a big ?? caber A ping pong table for a ring He′s mentally unstable To him murder it ain′t no thing He′ll do you dirty style He′s holding dirty bile He′s out pumping on the corner Trying to stay warm And keep it cool like Miles
He keeps it fundamental He′s got the jeans and the bubblegoose on There′s murder on his mental He′s got the deuce deuce in his palm
And y′all know the fable How cain did able Ever since the beginning The world keeps pinning just like a turntable
2 pieces of drama The hammer′s bout′ to fall 2 pieces of drama there′s gunplay in the hall 2 pieces of drama Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire 2 pieces of drama Boy you know not to play with fire
La la la la la la la la [B Real Hand on the Pump sample]
When it′s selling out back Likes to pump crack To the fiends that be getting high He keeps his hand on the pump He′s ready to dump On any chump that would even try He got a finger on the trigger He ain′t scared to pull it Head full of liquor Boy you might catch a bullet They′re holes in stable Drugs on the table Everybody′s sitting round Watching cops on the cable Dressed like a slob Keeps his hair braided He′s never been robbed, He′s only been raided. He′s never known joy The boy is so jaded He′s never been loved He′s only been hated His soul′s on ice His heart is stone Just another dead king Rotting on his throne With a pain that would Cut you down to the bone You′re born alone Boy you die alone
2 pieces of drama The hammer′s bout′ to fall 2 pieces of drama there′s gunplay in the hall 2 pieces of drama Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire 2 pieces of drama Boy you know not to play with fire [x2]
Oh one more drink and then I′ll go But there′s one more thing I′ve got to know Does he take you places that I don′t? What happened to the story that we wrote?
You just say you don′t know, you don′t know Oh no you don′t know, you don′t know
Woo
Oh let′s just get this whole thing straight I don′t wanna kidnap the truth and negotiate Or miss the point that they met you Just wanna hear you say something that you believe to be true
You say you don′t know, you don′t know You just say you don′t know, you don′t know What it feels like What it feels like
And so I′ll go before I fall to pieces Yes I′ll go before I fall to pieces
Now I′m just waiting for something that might never come If it′s a million to one shot I′ll make sure I won Seems that nothing is safe, except the truth turns to lies Never figured it out, I figured out why
So I′ll go, yes I′ll go Yes I′ll go, yes I′ll go Oh baby I′ll go, oh yes I′ll go Yes I′ll go, oh yes I′ll go Before I fall to pieces Before I fall to pieces Yes I′ll go before I fall to pieces Yes I′ll go before I fall to pieces Ohhhhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
A shot in the dark A past, lost in space And where do i start The past, and the chase You want to be gone Like a wolf, a predator I felt like a deer in the lights
You loved me, and I froze in time Hungry for that flesh of mine But I can’t compete with the she wolf, who has brought me to my knees What do you see in those yellow eyes Cause i’m falling to pieces
I’m falling to pieces I’m falling to pieces I’m falling to pieces Falling to pieces
Did she lie and wait Salivate to pull you in The threat of the kill You feel, as I sit alone withe the wolves I know, it seems I felt I was part of you
But I can’t compete with the she wolf, who has brought me to my knees What do you see in those yellow eyes Cause i’m falling to pieces
I’m falling to pieces I’m falling to pieces I’m falling to pieces Falling to pieces
[Nick/All:] So I lay awake another hour Just like the one before The shadows play a game with my head I can′t take this anymore
[Brian:] I hear the sound Of my own breathing It makes me miss you more
[Chorus (mainly AJ):] Wake me up when it′s over After the ending When the damage has all been done I don′t wanna be somewhere Where you can watch me as I bleed Just leave me here in pieces In pieces
[Nick/All:] I can′t take the chance Of running into You running into me So lock the door And close the window I just wanna see
[Brian:] Until the day Inside my future When I′ll be on my feet
[Repeat Chorus]
[AJ:] If you want you can find me On the dark side of the sun Babe I don′t wanna see what we′ve become The damage has all been done
[Chorus II:] Wake me up when it′s over After the ending Wake me up when it′s over When the damage has all been done The damage is done I don′t wanna be somewhere I don′t wanna be somewhere Where you can watch me as I bleed Leave me here in pieces Just leave me in pieces Just leave me in pieces Just wake me up when it′s over (in pieces) Just wake me up when it′s over
Back and forth, I sway with the wind Resolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it′s out of reach and it′s in the dark Sometimes I think I′m blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin′ away But I know, there′s a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens... Because I′m somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I′m somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Layin′ face down on the ground My fingers in my ears to block the sound My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight Droplets of "yes" and "no" In an ocean of "maybe" From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline From the top, another downhill slope of mine But I know, the equilibrium′s there Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I′m somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I′m somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together
You Don′t Care, About me, Anymore, Thats why you, you wanna break my heart, Into pieces on the floor.
If you don′t care, About me, Anymore, why do you, you wanna break my heart, into pieces on the floor.
You Don′t Care, About me, Anymore, Thats why you, you wanna break my heart. (echo)
I remember when i used to feel sutin, i remember when i used to feel sutin. I remember when i used to feel sutin, i remember when i used to feel sutin. I remember when i used to feel sutin, i remember when i used to feel sutin. I remember when i used to feel sutin, now-o-ow-o-ow i′m just cold inside.
I remember when i used to feel sutin, i remember when i used to feel sutin. I remember when i used to feel sutin, i remember when i used to feel sutin. I remember when i used to feel sutin, i remember when i used to feel sutin. I remember when i used to feel sutin, now-o-ow-o-ow i′m just cold inside.
I remember when i used to feel sutin, now-o-ow-o-ow i′m just cold inside.
I remember when i used to feel sutin, now-w-w-w i′m just cold inside.
If you don′t care, About me, Anymore, why do you, you wanna break my heart, into pieces on the floor.
You Don′t Care, About me, Anymore, Thats why you, you wanna break my heart...
I remember when i used to feel sutin, now-o-ow-ow i′m just cold inside.

You Don′t Care, About me, Anymore, Thats why you, you wanna break my heart.....
I′m here again A thousand miles away from you A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am I tried so hard Thought I could do this on my own I′ve lost so much along the way
Then I′ll see your face I know I′m finally yours I find everything I thought I lost before You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole
I′ve come undone But you make sense of who I am Like puzzle pieces in your eye
Then I′ll see your face I know I′m finally yours I find everything I thought I lost before You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole!
I tried so hard! So hard! I tried so hard!
Then I′ll see your face I know I′m finally yours I find everything I thought I lost before You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole So you can make me whole
A shot in the dark A past, lost in space And where do I start The past, and the chase You want to be gone Like a wolf, a predator I feel like a deer in the light
Your love be in that frozen time Hungry for that flesh of mine But I can′t compete with the she-wolf, who has brought me to my knees What do you see in those yellow eyes Cause i′m falling to pieces
I′m falling to pieces I′m falling to pieces Falling to pieces Falling to pieces
I′m having trouble standing on my own I′m sick and tired of believing I am strong And how many ways do I have to say? And how many times do I have to pray? You′re the wall that surrounds me, it bounds me Keeps me locked inside the blame How did it ever really come to this brokenness? Impossible to fix I′m never really satisfied with promises My faith has died
Another day, another hour bleeds away And every minute seems to take it′s toll on me And now I′m concerned that I′ve wasted time But how can I learn if I don′t try? Do you understand me? Take my hand please Can you walk me through this maze?
How did it ever really come to this brokenness? Impossible to fix I′m never really satisfied with promises My faith has died
Something inside me keeps trying to break through My broken excuses Need someone to mend all the pieces Mend all the pieces Mend all the pieces
How did it ever really come to this brokenness? Impossible to fix I′m never really satisfied with promises My faith has died
Something inside me keeps trying to break through My broken excuses Need someone to mend all the pieces Mend all the pieces
Oh it′s a shame that I have to tape over, Those elysian smiles I thought I′d keep forever. I remember it all like it was yesterday... Forget all, Set it down, hit record. And back away... My intestines are fastening laces, Intolerable to fucking untangle. These vigilant eyes can′t keep off the timekeepers. Second hand every angle.
What′s keeping you waiting? Usually out before I open my eyes. Why did you pick today? To epilate between your thighs...
Are you waiting for his tongue to come? And brush against your cleaned trimmed hair? I hope he knows, that curvilinear gyrating space, Won′t be the only thing he′ll taste down there. Stop to think about it. If we′ve both flooded the same skin... You′ve tasted me, I′ve tasted you, Who knows how many places, My tongue has been? My tongue has been...
I left, you stayed, I hoped and prayed. That these nauseating thoughts weren′t true. Before we met, I wouldn′t bet, I would give up nihilism for you! Nothing ever made sense, Was I even real? Took everything wouldn′t touch, And made me feel (hell yeah! ) I had all my faith in you, That you would never commit and act of deceit, To wake up in the ante meridian Knowing there would be solid ground to support my feet.
If it is alright (if it is alright) to conceal the truth, Then when does the concealment end, and lying begin? Tell me when? Tell me when? This is a maudlin motion picture. A theme song in search of a movie, I′ve got the perfect script to match this tune. Who really knows what goes on in the afternoon? Lets not ruin the surprise.
I don′t buy these incredulous denials, Do you think you′ve found the exit, To your escape? I really shouldn′t be thinking this way, It would put my mind at ease, If I caught your ass on tape. They′ll be no excuses baby. I′ll forward this to your friends and family.
Maybe I should reconsider this diagnosis, Lets think things out before we conclude. Commonly a virtuoso at these procedures, But this was the saddest thing my eyes have ever viewed.
The postmeridian hours that we performed, Seemed like such a perfunctory routine, But I can obviously tell by the footage here, That you′re in love with his machine! How could you do this to me? Next time you won′t get out so easily. Now that I know what I′m up against; I came prepared. Bat in hand behind the closest door I painfully stared. Say "hello" to this bark, in-between your teeth. Soon you will also be bleeding from underneath. It took balls to do what you′ve done. Having your manhood in your mouth is no fun. And as for you darling, you′re going no where, It′s kind of hard to move when you′re tied to a chair.
See there′s a twist to this lovely, For you too see. What′s hiding in your wardrobe Isn′t a shopping spree.
*whistle, whistle* Comes out to stilts supporting the wait of lust, I always thought you were someone I could always trust. Now watch this we smacking flesh, I′m sure you don′t even care. But with your eyelids sown back to your brows. This leaves you forced to stare.
With a wire wrapped around his neck, Tightly tied to a tree, There he stood on the top of the cliff, With his inanimate life, above the sea. He drinks his virulent drink. And sets himself on fire.
Pulls the trigger though the midair; Misses his head and snaps the wire. Now choking and strangling in the water, His body begins to sink. Not only did that put out the flames. But he regurgitated his drink. This wasn′t the worse thing that could happen... yes it is. We′re dying slowing again...
