My skin is full of black ink, in your white clothes
For so much I think, little I know

 

We are cured

 

Staring at the buildings, it makes me feel like I’m alive for a while
I snuck outside for a cigarette and sat myself down on the pine
Hoping for a passerby
I’m not much of a talker, and I’ve never been
They say a city kid never survives without wit
So I’m testing my hand, I’m testing it with you
We don’t know if that party will get out of hand tonight
But I know they’ve got money, so drugs they will be in our plans
For a while
But who knows after that, as a matter of fact
I don’t wanna end up in the same place
I’ll wake up in a bed with a person that I’ve never met
And feel better than this
I won’t be around the way
I can’t sit back without anything to say
I’m only one man alone, with my own little holes
And I wish I could say, I wanna be on my own

 

And for the past five- almost six years now!-
You know you haven't once looked at me
With kindness in your eyes
You say Judas is a brother of mine?
Well sister in our darkness a light shines!

 

there was a man who killed a state trooper
drove his pickup truck to belmar
& slept in the beach house
a dream of the day when two protons collide
everything everything changes

 

so here i stand in the penultimate act
forcing my lines and canning my laughs
as the curtains break over our backs

 

I put my faith in a violent man
He was the only one that I could trust

He built fences tied in razor wire
Borders drawn in blood
There was nothing but rain for days and days
Still no one was ready for the flood

Is there always enough strength for the next step?
Is there always a way back from your regrets?
I want to hear you say, it'll be okay
I want to hear you say, it's not too late

 

in a ship full of things that float,
you would go down with the hull

 

All of your friends are gone
And you were barely holding on
We were wrong and
They fooled us once again
We are the loneliest of men
We're the loneliest

 

I thought I'd I'll yell a little
to show my hometown I'm alive
And through the sea of fingers
I find my own real life

 

How could eyes this wide
Lose sight of a world outside?
I've looked away, cowardice
With every kiss from a friend
With everything I pretend not to feel
Am I too high? Am I too proud?
Is the music too loud… for me to hear?

Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise
Try as I might
With every beat comes a violent noise
The melody's sung
But I don't know the voice
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise

 

i felt our diners and our movie theaters in poisoned nighttimes
nonlocalized awakenings
memory's strange abbreviation.

in that other time before i knew you my parents fell asleep bathed in wavering blue
some breathing dogwood trees lined the street
swaying white and pink
carpeting the canopied hall

the shared nightmare of your shut room on a rail through the absence in the morning
hole in histories

we made for some show
pulled off to the side when rain came prismatic
spreading the headlights

then you drove me home
is it teeth-shaking polyphony
grace and completion
or nothing?

 

I'll never hold you back
And I won't force my will
I will no longer do the devil's wishes
Something I read on a dollar bill
A paper tiger can't tell you where he stands
We'll go back tonight the way that we came
I'm not dumb, just want to hold your hand


We could go kick down some doors together
Stay out till morning sharp as knives
The new war will get you, it will not protect you
But I will be there with you when you turn out the light
Said I will be there with you when you turn out the light
I will be there with you when you turn out the light

 

First sight of the rest of my life
I never wanted to go

 

i see the cruel in your eyes
the current in oceans

 

love so hard that time stands still

 

One of my Jimmy Eat World mantras to motivate me to get my life together!!!

Are you going to live your life wondering
Standing in the back looking around?
Are you going to waste your time thinking
How you've grown up
Or how you missed out?
Things are never gonna be the way you want
Where's it going to get you acting serious?
Things are never going to be quite what you want
Even at twenty five you got to start sometime


sigh.

 

So I left my home
And all I had
I used to be good but now I’m bad

 

Blink

Dude Ranch

"I'll take what you're willing to give
and I'll teach myself to live
With a walk-on part of a background shot
From a movie I'm not in"

"Am I strung out, crazy, or not allowed to be the one who gets stupid over you?"

Kind of how I have felt for awhile

 

it's a necessary phase--moving on, moving on
it gets better every day--moving on

 

And she'd always weigh me down,
But, afraid I might need her, I dragged her around,
It's best to keep close sackcloth and ash in a whitewashed town;
She wore that phony smile on her face,
I guess like a bandage on a wounded place,
While I kept the keys to every old lock just in case.

 

It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Come inside, it's fun inside
M I C K E Y M O U S E

 

"I never wanna dwell on my pain again
There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then
Remembering all of the hell I felt when I was running out of faith
Every step I vowed to take was towards a better day

Cause I'm about to
Say goodbye to every single lie
And all the fears I've held too long inside
Everytime I felt I couldn't try
All the negativity I had inside

For too long I've been struggling. I couldn't go on
But now I've found I'm feeling strong and moving on
I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace
They can say all they wanna say about me

But I'm gonna carry on"



Ps a lot of xtina lyrics on google are incorrect so if anyone needs some sort of xtina over-singing lyric translator I will do that job @lyric sites

 

You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
You're with someone else that I have felt and seen
I cannot rest, or my consciousness contest
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again

 

And I love this place, the enormous sky
And the faces, hands that I'm haunted by
So why can't I forgive these buildings,
These frameworks labeled "home?"
