2010 To whom it may concern.

there it was, the land of decay. we should pack our

things and run away. rest in the quicksand.
shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand. sink slowly now,
take flight.
let silence take this empty light. take a deep breath
as we go, as we go
{
wanting higher. wanting higher up. wanting
higher. till morning forces us to climb back down.
id rather stay, id rather let us drown.
wanting higher. wanting higher up.
wanting higher
with a harsh, unpleasant hello. the
paranoia ive learned to live with although.
i will never shake whats there behind, your songs are
still playing in my mind. all the white only turns
to blue. look after me and ill look after you. take
a deep breath as we go, as we go.

i thought i felt a spark, thought i saw a flame

when something changed in you, who took the blame?
my plan was foolproof as i became a fortress of
your heart.
[chorus]
love, the kind that kills and scars. will make you
kneel and crawl to hell and back.
the words that slit your throat. will make you
think of love as the new black, as what you lack. love.
the sound of letting go, a side of youth. that we
all set aside, when the world was new. under the full
moon, only endless rain. an absence of your heart.
[chorus]

you gave me life. in return ill just pretend.

you can watch it burn.
[chorus]
in the ashes of your town. in the ashes
of your town. we will build it back down.
you gave me life. we would build it back down.
[chorus]

you cant be the knight.

dress the part, its storytelling time.

sharpen your knives. watering mouths.
plates for some tender i.

clean your

tell me how the story ends now?

come home, come see our place.
our
labyrinth, you keep pace. we push the
boundaries. so the rules are bent.
just give and take.
come wallow in my sorrow. breathe your air into my
lungs. what hides in my shadow?
my worst fear is real life.
tell me how the story ends now?

a backwards march, my back against. meadows of fear,

where it all began. and theres a hunt for the
saviour whom. and the purest of hearts, let their
spirits be consumed.
[chorus]
theres a new world laid at your feet. we build an army
from nothing. we raise our children to the beat of
its comforting pounding love.
a forward talk solely against our ways and means.
without a glance. im on a hunt to find the cure.
and before i depart into the deepest hole. behind all
insecurity, there is a wall of assurance. she is her own
worst enemy, she fights her battles for no one.
[chorus]
let it sink in for a new beginning, you know better now.
water fills her lungs and shes inhaling, you feel better
now. underneath the stars her bodys sinking, you do
better now.
a heavy sigh then not a sound.
we have no lives to sacrifice. she makes a sin,
dampens the cries. if theres a want for something
new. you might find me at the start or where it
ends for you.
[chorus]

little hope, little home of heavenly. come and save us

from this ugly truth. little hope, sprung from
necessity. may all good things in life come to you.
little ghost, so innocent and carefree. they would
never stop hunting you. little voice, life got the
best of me. and in time thats what awaits you too.
[chorus]
little hope, sing a song of fire. i grow up to be just
like that. llittle hope, little hope, sing a song of
fire.
[chorus]
little hope, love is sung inside. if you want, youll
dream of life now. little hope, little hope, sing a
song of fire.
ive seen the truth and its nothing like you said.
ive seen your picture of a perfect world. now you
can touch the halo around my crowned head. so many
questions, so many things unsaid.

used to be clean. now im as filthy as can be.

scrubbing off every spot.
used to be mean.
up, im your slut.

now im as good as can be.

raise me

[chorus 2x]
may the god of me protect my soul. as i stay a little
while longer, in this dusty rabbit hole, to sing my
song chained onto your bed.
used to be told. my silence is gold, coughing up,
every drop. used to keep small, now im granting
you all. stepping up, im your slut.
[chorus 2x]
used to be clean, now im filthy as can be.

i never dreamed id meet someone like you, all-in-one

defeat just by the unity of you. but i like you.
you see the overall of what we are. is it a sad, sad
sight viewed from afar? why dont you call?
[chorus]
whatever made you into clump like you, the icing cold
there leaks out the cracks in you. makes us as new.
whatever made you seem so very small. like tiny in real
life but large in thought. whos standing tall?
cannot wait until i get my hands on you, we can do the
things we said we would. you never had a true friend
like i, someone to pick you up when you needed to be
carried through.
if my hands werent so very sharp, this broken glass
that surrounds wherever we are. wouldnt do us part.
[chorus]
cannot wait until i get my hands on you, we can do the
things we said we would. cannot wait until i see
your smiling faces and our love will be misunderstood
