Old Eyes

Won't you give me back my old eyes, I've seen enough
Done time before but never so mundane
Caught up in dreams of somethin' more and I missed so much
Ain't quite the life that I had planned to make
Careless and out of my mind
Never saw it slippin' away
Now the dread's been creepin' up, how will I get mine
When not a thing I got is ever mine alone
So I pushed and pulled away, our lives' had been too intertwined
Ain't better off since I've been on my own
And I'd like to set it right
Or maybe I'd rather go
Let the past slide by, just another stepping stone
Won't you give me back my old eyes, I've seen enough
Lord I been down before but never felt this way
Found the future's just a lie that had me feelin' rushed
Nearly lost control of the mess I made
Careless and out of my mind
Never saw it slippin' away
Always wastin' time when lord I got a road to brave

You're hardly fit for compassion, you're wanted
You'll never lose your love for the chase
Can't carry on depended on in that fashion
Your heart wasn't made to be accepting of chains
But it strange she sees change in the light
When the bond of the night ain't strong enough for the day
Can't give her all of your time you know
That she'd just happily waste
So go on and make it easy on yourself
Can't live your life giving it all to someone else
Hold back, it's more than time you could waste
For the love that you give could always be misplaced
'Cause love don't always do what it's told
Though some think the heart could never mistreat the soul
You're findin' fear in devotion
Like it's a trick to take your freedoms away
You try to escape emotion, evading the shame
Of you declining when she asks you to stay
Is that what you want, to treat her like a drug
While she's searchin' for affection in the lines of your face
Play it like love, to break the connection
Get your fix and then feel sick throwin' the needle away
So go on and make it easy on yourself
Can't live your life giving it all to someone else
Hold back, it's more than time you could waste
For the love that you give could always be misplaced
'Cause love don't always do what it's told
Though some think the heart could never mistreat the soul
So go on and make it easy on yourself
Can't live your life giving it all to someone else
Hold back, it's more than time you could waste
For the love that you give could always be misplaced
'Cause love don't always do what it's told
Though some think the heart could never mistreat the soul

Back to Bite

I guess it feels alright, if only for the night
What's in the bottles has been drained
Lulling the first fits of suicide
And while the blood moon waxed and waned
Cast a grim light on risin' tides
Why is it nothing seems to change
Something always comes back to bite
Oh, no other spirits fill the whole
Left by yours now, the pain's still there
You're just licking wounds and getting stoned
Yeah, like therapy's being impaired
And let depressants take control
Numbing the feeling
Could have it all, you'd never know
Could have it all and you still wouldn't care
'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down
You feel alright, you're holding back for now
But in the morning you'll be breakin' down
It's always this way
Kill the light when seeing's too much
Somethin' they're saving just for you
Help you lean on an old crutch
You know something quick could get you through
Don't you realize you had enough
Do you think they'd have it off then if they knew
They're just one more thing to be ashamed of
'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down
You feel alright, you're holding back for now
But in the morning you'll be breakin' down
It's always this way
'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down
You feel alright, you're holding back for now
But in the morning you'll be breakin' down
It's always this way
Feels alright, if only for the night
What's in the bottles fades away
Dry and accosted by daylight
A sickening guilt and fits of shame
Twisting up inside
Can't always carry the weight
Of everything you've been burnt by

Always Bleeding

Down in the streets a plot's been set aside
This hole we occupy ain't fit for a dream
Seemed better scrapin' by in the land of cream and honies, right
On your own left to survive in a cold den of thieves
Seems I recall a land stretching to the sky
From mountain peaks the sun would rise to enlighten the plain
Seems I recall a land offered enough for all
And it took our greed to feed the fall of a child untamed
Take what you need and run
Chase the life that once was found following the setting sun
Stifled the screaming as they held us back, blacked our eyes
They took control, left her defiled and drained
Slid us the steel and as we slowly slide the knife inside
They whisper, "Ain't this what you want, ain't you entertained?"
Time after time we rush to greet the unknown blind
Resting assured the other side will be all we could dream
When, time after time, we find all that's been left behind
Was never worth the sacrifice, we had all we could need
Take what you need and run
Chase the life that once was found following the setting sun
All of life, this is fleeting
Oh how I wish it'd stay
But my time's always bleeding
And pulling away from me
Am I lost for dreaming 'bout a turning page, a rising tide
It's all too far gone to think it ever could change
When ignorance comes easy, standing guard over prosthetic minds
While my thoughts may differ, all around me remains
Who'll draw the line? We stand opposed on every side
No morals override a stake to be claimed
This peaceful shrine will fall before it's realized
And our so-called progression lies at the root of the blame
Take what you need and run
Before the life that once was found's gone with the setting sun
All of life, this is fleeting
Oh how I wish it'd stay
But my time's always bleeding
And pulling away from me

Blissful

You looked good standing at the cemetery gate
But I know I'd have to stand in line to wait
And I laughed at jokes I knew that were bad
I took things not meant to be had
And you ask for a bit more than a fistful
And remain calmly, ignorantly blissful
It felt good but mostly under the belt
Folded hands, speaking in tongues were I knelt
And I know that things could be much worse
So come down or head home in a hearse
And you ask for a bit more than a fistful
And remain calmly, ignorantly blissful
She dyed her blonde hair blonde, she needed the change
Through Manson shades, sweet serenades I was almost left impressed
And you ask for a bit more than a fistful
And remain calmly, ignorantly blissful
