breathe in, breathe out
what once was so pure is now
just a shadow of a doubt
and who's to blame for the seasonal rain?
I want to be the one to look in your eyes
I want to tell you it's alright
in the blink of an eye
as the walls surround you
in the blink of an eye
you know the world has conquered you
breathe out, breathe in
your anger slides into an evil grin
and who will save us when it's already too late?
I want to be the one to look in your eyes
I want to tell you it's alright
in the blink of an eye
as the walls surround you
in the blink of an eye
you know the world has conquered you and your life
and how can i smile
when i see you've been crying
in the blink of an eye
as the walls surround you
in the blink of an eye
you know the world has conquered you in your mind
in the blink of an
in the blink of an eye
in the blink of an
in the blink of an eye
in the blink of an
in the blink of an eye
in the blink of an eye

Gates of Heaven

so you drop to your knees
a last ditch effort to beat the disease
but you can't understand
control you felt has left you again
but you can't comprehend
you don't decide how this trip will end
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i hope you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i pray you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
so you turn down the lights
avoid the world and embrace the night
still you can't comprehend
you don't decide how this trip will end
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i hope you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i pray you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
I miss all of you
and i love all of you
i tried to be brave
i thought i could be strong
i was wrong
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i hope you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i pray you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
you cave
you cave
you cave

Gasp

as it falls in disgust
this is all too much
I won't believe it unless i see it
determination starts to rust
well, you talk a good game
while in the line of fire
if I don't need it
well, so be it
at a glance you're all I admire
to the laughs and to the cries
to all the teardrops falling from the skies
at the moment so close
that i don't have a clue
your secret is safe
each breath is a waste
and now I'm on to you
well, you talk a good game
when it's your desire
if i can't achieve it
well, so be it
i'll set these old sheets on fire
to the waves and to the wind
to all the hands and fists and hearts that beat again
to the moon and to the sun
to all those restless minds that won't stop until it's done
when you crawl inside
follow me until
everything is waiting there for you
so what is it that you crave?
and call for in your dreams?
short of breath you gasp
you've let the demons in
to the waves and to the wind
to all the hands and fists and hearts that beat again
to the moon and to the sun
we won't stop until it's done

steam rises from the rooftops
best place to hide these teardrops
from this prison cell i can't escape
even though these bars are self made
i thought i could stand
on my own two feet
the first step was a dive into a pool of regret
the biggest mistake
in my life
the biggest mistake
even in my dreams
the biggest mistake in my life
several days later
i awake and i'm shaking with
thoughts of chivalry and irony
and how it was all supposed to be
dig down dig deep
seek out a trust that's not in me
the first kiss was a curse
the second kiss was goodbye
the biggest mistake
in my life
the biggest mistake
even in my dreams
the biggest mistake
look at me i'm all alone
at last
look at me i'm all alone
i finally got my way
the biggest mistake in my life
the biggest mistake even in my dreams
the biggest mistake
the day i walked away
won't admit defeat
i feel so incomplete
these decisions are clouding all that i say
won't admit defeat
i feel so incomplete
will i regret
the day i walked away?

Forever (Yet Never)

when she walked in my direction
i thought I'd take a chance
she wanted to fly
i just wanted to dance
we could make a life together
we could be forever
i didn't know anything was wrong
until i woke up and she was gone
forever (yet never)
forever (yet never)
there was an instant connection
and a spark in her eyes
she wanted a boy
i wanted a girl
we made a life together
and we lived forever
only time doesn't last that long
because i woke up and she was gone
forever (yet never)
forever (yet never)
she's always there for you
when you went home or stayed away
did you see the lie inside her when she said
forever (yet never)
forever (yet never)
there was no sound
there was no trace
just the faintest smell of your hair in that place
reminding me of a life spent waiting
i could've run
i shouldn't stay
I could've I should've
i wouldn't remain
yet here i am
and I'm waiting
here I am
and I'm waiting
forever

it was the darkest hour of the darkest day
it's happy hour all though you haven't smiled for days
this is all i know
this is all i love
yeah, I'm sorry to see you go
sailing down a sea of hope
made from wine and gold
your eyes meet the stare
the drink goes down too smooth
you glance around the room
this is all i know
this is all i love
yeah, i'm sorry to see you go
sailing down a sea of hope
made from wine and gold
yeah, i'm sorry to see you go
hurray, hurray, hurray
for the win and gold
