I The Mighty

Lay with me as the sun creeps through the trees. Maybe as the day recedes, we can find what we've been missing. I thought it was the beginning with all of the grinning and sinning, that we were committing only to giving and living in this newfound bliss. Bu...

Take the coast, 101. It's longer but there's sun and water to make me feel like I'm getting better And fill the void that's on fire. Oh my god so in deep with this! My only friend is a shit plant, Can't wait to spark it on the front lawn of her new boys house...

You came here to lie. It's all you know. It's a desperate cry to feed your low ego. So drink up and smile and clench your jaw. Transparent denial, like lips curled upward hide your flaws. Now aren't you a sad little soul? Wouldn't you love to be whole?...

It's such a gift and a curse, how small we've made the earth. So many people to know, yet we know them all worse. How many moments you've missed in a room full of friends, just staring down at that screen. Yeah, I'm guilty of all of it... I will give it u...

If we could see the future with clarity and nobody ever comes to save all of us from us... If we ever do arrive in the space where our souls reside forever to love or burn, which one will you deserve? Does the answer hurt? So we wait for a miracle once again...

You always told me to write a song about Andrew... Little did you know that it would be about you. And I think he knows I won't see him come Monday, when we meet up again to tie our own noose. His head at rest on my shoulder, in that place you used to cal...

I can feel it running through my veins like a flood. Adrenaline, without even a trace of blood. And every little thing that you ever said to me is in my head, running circles. I can't even think, I can barely catch my breath. Make me believe this is our r...

The morning attack: You pull the curtains back and light, sheds upon the scene. Remembered like a moment in a dream. Home, The place I should have gone and slept alone, But came to your house to clear my head And ended with the taste of sin instead. If...

I think I've had enough of your world for today. My head has opened up and your pictures fall like rain. In front of my face they spin. We were corresponding shapes like the rocks in a ledge. Now this puzzle has been rained upon and the corners lost their edge...

Your tongue told me truths that no one will believe Of a rock the size of Texas with tricks up its sleeve. It's coming somewhere to earth. Doesn't really matter where because it's still gonna hurt. So lets make the best of the time that we have. I can see that...

If hell broke out in the White House, how long would it take for word to carry here? Would it stay hush hush till the weather changed, till the sun warmed the snow and fears? Well I would wanna know. I would wanna know, and it's strange to me that you could...

You carry yourself Like the lines in your pocket But you lack the simple courage To move out of your parents' house I'm calling you out You seem so sure Without a back-up plan But I pierce the skin Here we are, holding up your out-of-shell with both hands Yo...

Dig up some dirt It's not too deep And when you find it, it may follow you to sleep But that's alright to keep it on your mind And let it trickle from your tongue as you decide Just what you feel is true No one can take your voice from you And all thro...

I will always think of you as the light at the end of a tunnel that's boarded up. You appear through a crack, The hue gives my body a taste of the warmth I've been forced without. And so I rip at the entrance in vain, Till I'm tirelessly pulled away by th...

Floating down escalators Your eyes are green, your heart is black You've done some ugly things, now it's too late to take them back Just money mongers here who never filled their karma cups Now death has brought them here, and this room in hell is filling...

Who's to say what defines who we are? Our actions or our visible scars? Fuck those who judge my character without a spoken word Or put their faith in only what they've heard You dig deeper and the lines become a blur So you squint till you're blind Rest...

My hand on your dress You glance at your watch As it's screaming reminders of the lack of sleep you'll get I must confess, I'm scared to suggest What I feel out of fear you'll resist Well, come with me home We hardly know Don't be alone Each other's s...

You left the room and all my senses left with you and now my body's just a place for blood. If I could taste then I'd be shaking in my place just at the thought of what your lips taste of. Oh, you love to string me along and I know it, but resistance always...

You're a cold and violent wind. You're an enemy amongst a sea of friends, who will not soon forget your face. You're a worm inside a bird. You're the voice that calls for help that's never heard. You linger on your words...what to say? You're a creek in need...

With a knock, knock and my eyes come open. I light a match and orange fills the room. The candle-light dancing off the walls and the movement's enough to wake her up. The men are outside with their torches. I hear the hooves of the horses I must lead. Wo...

With respiratory responses, I'll bridge the gap from one breath to the next. Let me sink. I'll find oxygen unnecessary. My lungs, they no longer need the air from way up there. I'll find peace amongst these sunken ships and bones that kissed away their prior s...

If imagery could walk out of my head, you'd see yourself in bed with me. I can hear you through the walls. Can you quiet down those moans, I'm the jealous type. Never thought that I would see you string me up by my own two feet. Dirty writing in the stalls...

You infiltrate like growing roots The seed you planted with just a look Into my veins and my body shook You read my heart like an open book And the more I hide, the more you seek With a siren's song so tongue in cheek The haunting beauty covers me I'm p...

If imagery could walk out of my head, you'd see yourself in bed with me. I can hear you through the walls. Can you quiet down those moans, I'm the jealous type. Never thought that I would see you string me up by my own two feet. Dirty writing in the stal...

We started riots in the streets just so you could point the finger. We set fire to these cities just so we could watch them burn and light our way. You can call us hell, call us what you will, just don't you ever call us by our names. We are you sisters, your...

Say goodnight. Go to sleep. Close your eyes. Shut them tight. And don't fret about the man with the knife. It's a joke. It's a lie. He's a fake. Just a plague of the memories that keep you awake. But if you let your subconscious bleed into reality he'll be hun...

She was screaming at the sky with her arms outstretched, head high and no fear of God in her eyes. I couldn't help but stare, she was so god damn beautiful and so self-aware. I felt her draw me in. I was moving but couldn’t control a single limb. I heard he...

He prays his eyes stay open on the long and lonesome road. He lives his life through day dreams of the girl he had known before. He laughs about his wasted life, turns off the radio. There's no use in being angry so long as he makes it home. He sings, “If I c...

An IV itch. The tattoo swimming up her arm. The nurse's stitch. The doctor's rich. The 5 alarm, the 5 alarm. The liquor for body warmth. And this is what we came here for, another drug we can't ignore. Slightly stoned with morphine injections and vicodin drops...

All along the Western Plains the lions lick their teeth with a look in their eyes. The one you're giving me tonight. And all along the country side the morning doves will call. For the sun will soon come and wake them all with a brand new start. A world apart...

You claim entrepreneur but choke on your ethics. Wish they could choke you back. You buy innocence, but the proof's in the transcripts. And as the teleprompter reads words that you know you don't believe, Your point repeats: "We did what we could. We were...

I've been thinking back to when we used to share a drink on midnight walks When you'd pretend your winter breath was cigarette smoke in your lungs I'd fight the urge to give you all the worst advice about the ones you liked (You called it chemistry, I calle...

Have you ever heard that voice of reason whisper in your ear? Oh did it say the things you never want to hear? Tell me, where'd that angel perched upon your shoulder go? Did you pick her up and swallow her whole? And do you ever miss the balance of the bac...

They say don't bother with another They try to pull me under Flailing arms, I'm fighting for my lungs No need to get it back back now, it's in my blood Heartbeat's louder than my gut Running on what's been there all along I'm not falling off I'm not ge...

Last night I had the most vivid of dreams... Emily came through my window and she hugged me. I felt every hair of my neck stand up. Every inch of her cold to the touch. She told me to miss the flight for her funeral... Sobbing into my chest, begging me no...

Stability over chemistry, well, it only works for so long, love, and I don't know if I'll still be waiting. Our love was killed by an industry with the reputation for such, but I can't leave it. More or less, I'm stuck. I'll never understand how you so si...

You can't play innocent I figured out what soured every final kiss Please, I have to know just at what point in this dream of life we would share, I was replaced with him He was the only one who ever made me second guess to trust my gut Oh you're just bei...

All the remains of tonight's events will scatter into the streetlights and pass the time waiting for the sun to rise and take them away. And with the elegance that you possess you challenge my confidence and I can't bare to move in for the kiss. Our dilate...

I understand upset, but how could you say that you hate me. I know you won't forget easily, easily. In one small step you flipped like a coin from a finger. Baby you're so hell bent, but easily, easily I sleep. Each conversation blurs. Each point repeats with...

Wake up Hey lucid dreamer make up your mind caught on the other side You feel the world stop spinning just before you see the light Knowing you'll wake in your empty room, you dream for the one you swoon But dark clouds are arriving the sun will be rising soo...

We'd meet with no light in the blanket of night. We'd talk of the Keepers, our hatred was high. I will always remember the way he was acting that night. We hashed out a plan that was tactful and slow. We'd overthrow them before they would know. Stil...

You were shot in the back for our sins, Ones that we failed to ever commit. They'd surely turn us in at the hospital And it'd be off to the gallows we'd go. So I will carry you forever if you just keep breathing. Oh, don't you know I will never let you g...

When it's so damn hot, they say you only see what you want. Well, trust them not. There's no one here to argue this mirage when hope is all you got. 'Cause now they're closing in as you begin to fall apart. When everybody grew so cold, You gave up but we beli...

No sleep for the sick! Been stayin' up too late... Draining out the chemicals, trying not to make mistakes. Little do they know that any given day, I'll expose all their hypocrisies... Express my inner rage. Oh tell me this: If you can say it to the pub...

Seems like you already know I'd love to have your name and a moment alone. You whisper that you'd have no other way. So I take you by your waist and head for the door. But then you stop and look me up and down as if to say: "Boy you better prepare yoursel...

We are just an investment, We are some elaborate plan. We are just an investment, A pawn for whom they call "the man." Each of us a fragment, Forming but a single piece. Functional and overbearing, Beautiful, but, underneath We beg for it. We scream...

I've always lived for the little things. I experience, I dream. In turn, my cloths are torn. I breathe with the city, I wake with the sun. I beg for your pity, I take pills for fun. It's all, it's all a part of this game I play. Help me stranger! I'm begging...
