"there's always something in the mirror that i think looks wrong" "when pretty isn't pretty enough, what do you do?"

"she's everything i'm insecure about" "can't drive past the places we used to go to" "cause i still fucking love you babe"
1 step forward, 3 steps back:
"you got me fucked up in the head boy" "never doubted myself so much" "i hate that i give you power over that kind of stuff" "do you love me, want me, hate me? boy, i don't understand" "its back and forth did i say something wrong?" "maybe this is all your fault"

The Hardest Part Lyrics That Alter My Brain Chemistry
Noah (Stand Still):
"when i turned twenty, i was overcome with the thought that i might not turn twenty-one" "there'd be nothing left of me except these songs" "when you don't know where you're going just stand still, soon enough you will" "and when all the hopes and joy you feel turn into paranoia, cause it will, remember just stand still." "life's not over but i'm feeling twice the pain" "i'm not better, but i'm not quite the same" "it keeps coming so i keep counting the days" "it don't get easier just harder yes it will, remember just stand still" "just stand still and watch the sunset bleed with only dirt under your feet to feel" "sixty-seven thousand miles an hour around the sun and that is how it feels" "in a universe that's infinite yet everything gets lost in it" "you'll be right, you'll be wrong, you'll be fine cause life goes on and on"
Ready To Go:
"is it what i deserve for spending the last of my love on someone i knew that i'd always lose?" "its inevitable and we both know that we're on borrowed time" "how fast and far it flies" "there's too many memories getting the best of me" "i loved you first but you'll be the first to leave"
Mr. Percocet:
"my heart gets pulled into pieces whenever you're poured up" "you are malevolent and benevolent" "you are the devil that i revel in" "you're only kind when you're all fucked up" "you're only mine til your high is gone" "i wish you'd still love me when your drugs wear off in the morning" "you want someone to worship the worst of your mistakes"
Every Beginning Ends:
"someone's at fault but i'm not blaming you" "you have to wake up every morning and choose to love someone but i'm finding that harder the more that i'm falling out of love with you" "every beginning has ended with you"
Hardest Part:
"the hardest part of going home is facing that you're getting older and everything you've ever known is over" "cause its been so long and the day's soon gone" "all the paths are overgrown" "the sun is down its getting colder" "in your eyes i see the fire that so long ago was burning" "through our smiles we try to hide it, all the years that we've been hurting" "we don't get too long that's why i'm holding on"
I Just Want A Lover:
"i can't believe i didn't see a mistake is just a state of my identity" "i believed that i would never ever get it right" "the twisting of the knife, the bend until the break and then it all goes wrong" "a kiss and i go blind, can't see its just my fate" "its unlivable" "i just want a lover who's in love with me, not another liar making love to me" "i'm sick of hoping, tired of waiting" "i pick my conscience over clarity and deal with the disparity its anarchy" "and the narcissists all run at me with guns ablaze no empathy, insanity"
Unfinished:
"afraid of love and afraid of change" "fell into you like a leap of faith" "i guess i met you at the wrong time" "now i've got you on my mind and i'm wondering tonight if it could've been more but we were left unfinished" "that one night was beautiful, streets were cold, but we were warm" "i've got a slideshow inside my head of might've-dones and could've-beens" "if its a purely hypothetical love, tell me why i gotta miss it so much?" "all i've got is a memory, its a masterpiece, but its incomplete" "i just fill in the empty space with a dream of what we'd be if i had stayed"
My Side Of The Bed:
"i know you want space. its not what you said, but how you said that you're fine" "i believe there's something missing in me" "i can't stop thinking bout how you felt hollow when i was holding you last night" "i'm just too fragile to speak" "there's something broken in me" "if you're gonna make it, you gotta be tough, but i'm not" "my heart's paper thin and the softest of words can send me spiraling"
I Burned LA Down:
"you left a hole in my chest when you left and my heart followed you out the door" "i stood and bled in the hall, watched it all, and the mess that it left on the floor" "if i gave you less, would you want me more?" "embers in the dark can look just like shooting stars to a bitter broken heart" "i was never a part of your plan" "you can't make a god of somebody who's not even half of a half-decent man"

People Don't Change Lyrics That Alter My Brain Chemistry
Dear August:
"why's the morning come so slowly when i got no one to hold me through the dark?" "they tell me that love is patient but it never wants to wait on my drunk heart" "so i'll take all of my wasted love, and turn it into wine in my cup" "tell me that there's light at the end of all this starless night" "cause i don't know where this road is headed anymore" "i spend every evening praying for the dawn" "looking for someone to save me"
You Belong To Somebody Else:

The Best Of You:
"the world is at your feet, so what you gonna do?" "oh my love, that's not the moon" "were singing old sad songs the whole night through" "as the stars look on, im just looking at you" "when the words do come, they feel heavy as the truth" "the best of me are just the pieces of the best of you"
Slow Train Comin':
"paints a funeral, so beautiful, to the memory of us" "a slowly breaking heart that knows you're gonna make me lonely when you go" "i sold my heart for stolen gold" "i played my heart so i suppose" "still got miles to go but even so, i feel the shaking still"
The Worst Of You:
"handed you another chance to disappoint me and again you did me wrong" "we're barely even trying anymore" "it feels like all i ever do i pay for your excuses to buy a little time" "you're never gonna change, hell, you're never gonna try" "why am i still tryna prove that i can love the worst of you? "living fast and dying slowly just two cold and lonely bodies nothing more" "i'll always love the worst of you"

Maroon:
"the rust that grew between telephones" "the lips i used to call home" "how the hell did we lose sight of us again?" "sobbing with your head in your hands, ain't that the way shit always ends?"

Snow On The Beach:
"life is emotionally abusive" "and time can't stop me quite like you did" "i'm unglued, thanks to you" "you wanting me tonight feels impossible" "and its fine to fake it til you make it til you do, til its true" "can this be a real thing, can it?"

"i search the party of better bodies just to learn that you never cared" "i wait patiently, he's gonna notice me" "i picked the petals he loves me not" "i'll run away" "everything you lose is a step you take" "you've got no reason to be afraid"

Question...?
"i swear that it was something" "cause i don't remember who i was before you painted all my nights a color i've searched for since" "did you wish you put up more of a fight?" "do you wish that you could still touch her?" "did you realize out of time?" "got swept away in the grey"

How Have You Been? Lyrics That Alter My Brain Chemistry
For You:

The Birth of Worlds:

Watershed:
"i'll light it all up" "it's a small world built for you" "applause the illunsionist" "i thought alot about what we came here for" "better not set your lungs on fire" "i'll build a wall a thousand feet high around my bed to keep the bloom out of my head" "where do we go after all?" "what do you hope for most of all?"

Misinterpretations:
"what a time to be fine and to try to feel miserable" "misinterpretations in every breath i take" "another day on earth to try to make sense of other lives" "when i look back i think i'll say it was worth a try" "how long can i fake it?" "how long til they hate me?" "more of what i cannot grasp" "tell me why should i believe in what my eyes can't see" "throwin up thoughts i thought were mine"
Silence:
"silly words only make it worse" "i will be with you" "i wanna break the silence but it is so beautiful"

All We Are:
"the fear we used to drown" "all we are is true i can read it in your eyes as we're catching fire" "would you take my hand before everything will come to an end?"
Into Your Arms:
"there is not a single face we have to hide" "what we are feels so easy" "i'm falling into you, it ain't nothing new, the mirror of our youth" "do you sleep or do you pray?" "i got lost in yesterday" "i wanna fall into your arms where i could hide til kingdom come" "in five years keep it real the chance that we both will be lying here is small as a mosquito" "those worlds i've built went down they finally turned to dust. i'll remember and mark my words that i painted in the dust" "you want me to feel okay, i feel bad because i ain't" "i followed you down the path to the sinkholes of our past" "maybe it will be enough"
