Obey

For You

You bring me high just to let me down
I feel alive for those few seconds
You comfort me with dirty words, make me feel better
But I can't hear you now

Yeah, Do you always get what you want
Yeah, Do you always get it

You raise your fist and I bow low
I've already sold you my soul
You say you'll show me how to live, and I'll feel better
But I can't see you now

Yeah, Do you always get what you want
Yeah, Do you always get it

And all those times that you shot me down
You let me drown, You destroyed me
Oh won't you please just take it back
Please just take it back, Undestroy me
And all those times that you told me lies
You made me cry, Please disown me
Oh won't you please just turn it black
Please just take it back, Undestroy me

Undestroy Me

eye's wide shut inside a dream
all is dark but I can see
i'm running slowly out of time
I'm running slowly, I'm going slowly

where's the off button in my mind

whispers echo in my head
all I've heard and all I've said
I've written the words a thousand times
to my eulogy

eye's wide shut inside a dream
all is dark but I can see
and I'm still here I haven't gone
anywhere, anywhere 

where's silence
I don't wanna think
where's quiet
just give me sleep
where's peace now
I don't wanna be
awake any longer

eye's wide shut inside a dream
all is dark but I can see
and I'm still here I haven't gone
anywhere, anywhere 

where's the off button in my mind

Eyes wide shut

Out of ink, but still writing...
his story...he gazes longingly
into the clouds as they roll
away from him

Day by day...his garden grows...
weeds don't get cut...they get real tall...
time moves ahead and throws...
herself off a bridge

If life has passed him by...
then why does he still try...
to hold onto these things...possessions possess...
His grip is strong and he won't
let go of greed...

He's training...
hard to build this problem from the ground...
to the sky...a ladder to...
ask the world the only...
real question he's ever thought of

If life has passed him by...
then why does he still try...
to hold onto these things...possessions possess.
His grip is strong and he won't
let go of greed...he's out of ink

He's been a son-
been a father, been a worker-
been a friend-
been a preacher, been a begger-
but when, oh when
will he be a man.

And the sun shines through...catching the light
in his mind...eyes...mouth's feed with...
inspiration that glows like...
the screens in his room...
But brighter for once

...he's out of ink

Out Of Ink

Cut along the dotted line
Giving up should not precede the end
I will leave it all behind
Just tell me, you were sent to make me decide

Now I'm living on my own, you can see my blood
Flying hard into the sun

I want you to want me, I want you to need
the ends should never justify the means

Cut along the dotted line
Giving up should not precede the end
I will leave it all behind
Just tell me, you were sent to make me decide

I want you to want me, I want you to need
the ends should never justify the means

Cut along the dotted line (the ends should never justify the means)
Giving up should not precede the end (the ends should never justify the means)
I will leave it all behind (the ends should never justify the means)
Just tell me
Just tell me
Just tell me
Just tell me
You were sent to make me decide

Wounds Undressed

I've been walking in my sleep
Push the earth by with my feet
Can't be asked to remember
Cause I thought it doesn't matter
You said it doesn't matter

Don't like you
Don't hate you
Don't know you
It's all the same

Don't hate you
Don't like you
Too hard to
Ever change

When everything all looks the same
There's no choice to be made
Even hate feels better
Than when something doesn't matter
Yeah you said it doesn't matter

Don't like you
Don't hate you
Don't know you
It's all the same

Don't hate you
Don't like you
Too hard to
Ever change

Who cares

Indifference

She waits by the door
She knows that she can't take it anymore
The time has come for her to go
But living here is all she knows

Pictures of the past
Stare at her as she stares back
Walls close in and doors close
But the color's changed and her thoughts echo

and I tried and I tried and I tried

And I tried to make you happy
can you feel the seasons change
I'll tattoo wings upon my back and then
I'll fly

Storms rage in her eyes
The sky's clear but it's raining inside
Moving in and breaking down
A flood will come before this is done

Walls close in and doors close
But the color's changed and her thoughts echo

And I tried and I tried and I tried

And I tried to make you happy
can you feel the seasons change
I'll tattoo wings upon my back and then
I'll fly
and I'll fly and I'll fly and i'll fly


Tattoo Wings

He died...ready to give up...
He'd seen all he wanted to...
This conversation's reached an abrupt end...
She only said "maybe" but he heard "no"...

And now he's scratching at the post...

Ripped up...back into the pit...
I watched...crawling tooth and nail...
Silver bullets fell in tears...
Willing but not able...

Scratching at the post...

Waiting ...
But she never called...

Scratching at the post...

desperately
I pull you to me
you're so sweet
breathing deep

and you pushed me down
quietly
yeah you held me down
softly

it’s been two weeks
you’re out of reach
the inspiring taste
I’m growing 
and you pushed me down
quietly
yeah you held me down
softly

if I give it all away (you pushed me down)
would you make me high
If I made you mine (you held me down)
Is my intention clear
If I come to rely (you pushed me down)
On your word
And you held me down

desperately
I pull you to me
you're bleeding

Sweet
