If I was a child and you were a woman, would our stains still fade like a wasted coffin? 
As the evil decreased we all felt like flying, but you remained stranded, like a giant dying 

Mysteries from our childhoods resolve themselves with crying 
And if someone couldn't bleed, then could they be self multiplying? 
Everyday the walls of this decaying room get taller 
I can never leave this hell, I'll only sit here getting smaller 
Someone snuck away with my conscience in the middle of the night 
Now he can't talk to me or teach me how to fight against the demons deep within the prohibition of our crimes, but if the voices aren't screaming, I can tell myself that I'm alright 

Grab the oars, swim aboard 
Send a message to the shore 
There must be something in the water 

If I never wash my hair again, will I never rid myself of sin? 
If only everybody's devil never did begin again 
It's like I cannot grace you from this pit of what you never hoped 
And if I grabbed your hand to save you, you would just let go 
A million faces overcome with confirmation in the station of a nation overcome with complication 
And every word of my prophecy was written on the subway seat 
As I rape myself in dignity, I forget what I'm supposed to be 
Nothing at all 
I bathe myself in irony, remind myself what I must give back to society for teaching me to conform and give in 
At night I pray for judgement day and hope the fire takes me with, cause tears are like plasticity 
They kill us but they make us live 

We're not people of broken hearts 
We're not people of broken hearts 
We're not people of broken hearts, but we're not okay 
We're not okay! 

We're just a bunch of crazy kids 
We're tired of the same old tricks, you know 
We're living off of our own fears, and hoping they won't take us away from home

Neptune

She's a ballerina dancing like a spinning 45 on the record machine that is our lives 
We're all artists living in the unknown concept that is time 
And sooner or later, we all realize real life takes place behind the curtain 
Don't leave me hanging here, it's not for certain 

Give me one, two, three, and I'll come undone like a ribbon 
Don't let my heart bleed, come and move with me like a river 
And the world spins round without us 
Let the world fall down around us 

What do you dream of when you fall asleep with your head under mine? 
Black holes and the bleeding hearts assembly line 
I have responsibilities but I will stay here through the night to ease the bad dreams from your mind 
Real life takes place behind the curtain 
Don't leave me hanging here, it's not for certain

Ballerina

Dear friend, I know you're listening 
I am growing smaller yet 
In this sea of human beings, sometimes I forget 
Before too long, we'll all be gone 
The sun will rise still at dawn forever, and time will carry on 

Jump in a river of blood, and you'll find there I am 
Floating unconscious, waiting for you to see the life that I once knew 
Grasp in the palm of your hand, all the memories so grand 
We used to be so close, you and I 

Dear my long lost valentine, I know we're strangers but please be mine 
I just want to know what love feels like, you see? 
We've been too exposed to pain, but love makes us happy again 
At least that's what they told me on TV 

Help, won't you save me from something unpredictable 
You're so damn unpredictable, you are 

The bleeding hearts assembly line, and number 57's mine 
Just another ordinary day for me 
Put me on the discount rack, my heart just had a heart attack 
Sell me at the happiness factory
