Every night I read this novel about you Holding roses in the pouring rain But the ending's tore up, trying to hail a cab Think no one can read you, but I can Well, we move into a house down on Cherry Lane And watch the world go by, I'm missing a page I wanna be the one who walks you home Who walks you home tonight Staring into her eyes and then try and explain it It's written in a language that was meant to fuck you up And I can never get close enough But I lie, but I lie down on her pillow And you feel like you was going away Going away when you got no place to go But back in her arms lying on her pillow Curled up with a book down on Cherry Lane The glass it hits the floor and you're walking away But I wanna be the one who walks you home Who walks you home anyway Stare into her eyes and then try to explain it Try to explain it away I wanna be the one who walks you home Who walks you home tonight Stare into her eyes and then try to explain it Try to explain it away But that shit just fucks you up And I can never get close enough I can never get close I can never get close enough I can never get close enough to you I can never get close I can never get close enough I can never get close enough to you I can never get close I can never get close enough I can never get close enough to you I can never get close I can never get close enough I can never get close enough to you I can never get close I can never get close enough I can never get close enough to you I can never get close I can never get close enough I can never get close enough to you To you, to you, to you

This town has its claws buried in my neck This town, it takes lives, without mercy, without hate The streets are in distress The sun suffocates behind darkened skies The grass is growing on top of my feet I'm sinking, won't be long, before I'm too deep to run The line up seems endless Underneath the salvation signs We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause We are the bend before the break, our steps seal our fate Because this city, this city is haunted By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls) Every step I take I leave a small piece Of myself behind, soon there will be nothing left The cracks in the pavement Match the cracks in their weathered skin The sky's a brick wall, the ground's a juggernaut Each day they get a bit closer, between them, I am caught I stare in amazement I can't believe this is where I live Every breath I take I feel my lungs seal This breeze feels more like shards of glass I'm more scars than skin Because this city, this city is haunted By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls) Our steps seal fate Our steps seal fate This is our celebration Come join the lost souls This is our celebration Come join the lost souls This city, this city is haunted Oh, walk with us Oh, down, walk with us This city, this city is haunted By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)

I'm not sure what's worse The waiting or the waiting room "You're next, sir", becomes a cruel taunt to you Recycled air, the smell of sleep and disinfectant Your god is a two-door elevator! Do they even cure you (cut me open, drug me) Or is it just to humor us before we die? (Repair all my defects) If only we could heal ourselves We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines Whoa, whoa-whoa Whoa, whoa-whoa Let's redefine! Let's redefine! Let's redefine! Let's redefine! Let's redefine! Let's redefine! What it means to heal Do they even cure you (cut me open, drug me) Or is it just to humor us before we die? (Repair all my defects) If only we could heal ourselves We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines Whoa, whoa-whoa Whoa, whoa-whoa

These days won't last This too shall pass The pain won't linger on Through dust and dark The seed, the spark Crying in this lonely parking lot It's easier to love someone else Than it is to be kind to yourself What's harder is to let someone in You loved me when I couldn't love myself I couldn't love myself Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin again I begin again Your smell on my sheets Haven't spoke a word in weeks But I don't wanna lie to you It's been dark for days Sans soleil It's lonely in the city by myself It's easier to love someone else Than it is to be kind to yourself What's harder then, is to let someone in You loved me when I couldn't love myself I couldn't love myself Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin again I begin again I'm glad you're here with me At the end of all things I'm glad you're here with me At the end of all things Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin Where you end, I begin again I begin again I begin again

We are not our bodies We are not our minds Halls of black mirrors Struggling to find If we could just witness Some truth in it all Under the cold moon The dark night of the soul Mind, body and spirit are drawn to the flame Let the light and the candle be one in the same Finally see you aren't stuck in one place Sit back behind it in infinite space Trembling hands, tender embrace Shadows merge from the fire, paint a skull on your face Afraid of the truth, afraid of the fear Afraid of the feelings that guided you here in the dark In the dark We are not our bodies We are not our minds Halls of black mirrors Struggling to find If we could just witness Some truth in it all Under the cold moon The dark night of the soul Breathe in the smoke, fell through the floor Passed through the veil, opened the door Seething and angry, raw energy Another dimension has it's claws in me Feminine venomous, I felt afraid The caverns I entered, I never escaped I don't believe in bad trips, there's something to glean Came back to this world, but if felt like a dream in the dark In the dark We are not our bodies We are not our minds Halls of black mirrors Struggling to find If we could just witness Some truth in it all Under the cold moon The dark night of the soul We are not our bodies We are not our minds Halls of black mirrors Struggling to find If we could just witness Some truth in it all Under the cold moon The dark night of the soul The dark night of the soul The dark night of the soul The dark night of the soul The dark night of the soul
