I know that you know this
But what can I do?
It's the same words again,
With a different tune.
You can hum, along,
You've heard this before,
But the melody's wrong
So you'd better be sure
That you know what you're doing
Just take a step away
From the edge, take a breath,
Now you're starting to sway
I could try, to catch you,
But what could I do?
It's the same words again,
With a different tune.
<><><>>>><><>><>>>>><><><>>>
You
had to walk
Away
Through the rain
<><>><><><><><
The lamplight shone on your hair,
Just an angel causing pain
<<><><><><<><>
Did you know that you drew
your
dagger did you know, you took aim?
<><><<><<><<><><
Did you know that the blow
That you struck
Drained the blood
From my vains
<><><><><><>><><
My eyes are wide open, but my mouth is like ice
<><><><><><><><><
My eyes are wide open but my mouth is like ice
<><><<><><<><><>
It's only the middle of September and I've already paid
The price.

One for the camera
You're picking off the scabs that stitch the memories to your skin
You're waiting for the day the blood beneath won't come again
But every story's ending holds a secret you're keeping in
The words that should resolve themselves cease to come to an end
Shut the cabinet,
Tape the mirror closed,
And shut your mouth for once in your life
I'm waiting for the words to come but they won't write
Themselves on the page
Let's watch for rain, let's wait in vain
For things to fall from the sky
And when they always almost do we'll always almost say goodbye
<>><><>><><><>><><><>>><><><<><><>><><<><><>><><
You put the pen to paper, write your name, and cross it out
You want to rip it all away but you know you'd couldn't do without
But every time you write a different word it's not allowed
And sometimes to be heard you have to spill the ink and shout.
Snuff the candle, lock the room and walk, and trust yourself for once in your life
Keep waiting for the words to come cause you can write them down on the page
Keep watching for rain, you're not watching in vain, cause things have fallen from the sky
Before
And when they finally do you'll have the strength to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
You're waiting for the day the blood beneath won't come again

I'm waiting for the words to come but they won't write
