The Birthday Massacre

I saw you in a photograph The answer is in your eyes It's dragging me back to everything else We left behind You're hiding inside a perfect life A picture of us I'm hearing you whisper alibis There is a shadow here But there's no light behind me The...

Once upon a waste of time All I had was never mine Until you From every heart, blood ran cold Nights moved fast, and days moved slow Until you I was looking for an ending when I fell into you You were like a dream, cause you never came true You said...

Repeating words until they're true It slows the breathing Pretend they never came from you It kills the feeling I'm not what you want You said what I never could We're falling apart You said that we never would It's not what I want It's wearing you down We'r...

Out here on the edge of town I saw her Alone on the water I watch from the ridges the trains passed under My eyes full of wonder Here I can see Lakes of fire As she call to me And I can see Beyond the ordinary Lost to me And every fading memory...

plastic blue invitations in my room i've been waiting here for you reservations made for two sunlight fading black tongues speak faster than the car can crash you supply the rumours and i'll provide the wrath romance is breaking every heart in two casting sha...

Time is the promise It turns and tells them what to do It makes them dishonest They let the suspicion kill the truth Broken Heart, Broken Mind When you let me in Did you not know where I had been? And love's what they wasted A lie that makes their dreams com...

She's out of sight He's out of mind They've always lived in the castle The poisoned nights And moving lights They're inside out of their window There's a fire in the city of pictures Leaving nothing but ashes below It's only forever for a day Tomorr...

Come, take a look inside What you lost you'll find What you want is right in front of you Look, underneath the stairs What's broken is repaired Now there's nothing left behind Nothing left of you Voices start to change Faces rearrange Eyes roll back...

err on the side of caution they're talking in the new girls two faced too poised to shed a tear no memory to speak of passed in the night we didn't hear the fading breath of your love we lose control of the moment another trend goes out of season a new...

Strange Changes come with age Some things disappear in a day And some things slowly fade And you and I are like the ink staining all the other pages We’re at the edge of the world again A step back is a step forward Been here before when we were innoc...

I remember the clouds in the summer And how the light kissed my eyes When I was a child it was always this A life that I left behind Remember the sun, Remember the rain They're never gonna touch me again tonight Cover my eyes tonight Don't let me see...

I can't speak through these walls around, built from broken thoughts, Noone sees me, they all try to make me what I'm not I need to talk, not with them They won't like what I say I force it out to go on, they'll hate me anyway I take back all the words...

This is a fantasy, projecting the vanity A quiet delusion, controlling me It took the best of me Dissolving my sanity A silent intrusion, destroying me When night expires across this town, I'll light a fire to burn it down The end is here and now I'll burn i...

Away from you The light moves out of view I'll wait for you We'll drive where we always do Over the roads like the blood in our veins Lines that were broken are now the same It feels so familiar like nothing has changed I still remember When we were...

Tides of glass, return to ash. In the dawn, we follow the path away from the sun. Shadows cast in wake of the past. Reaching out, into the dark and out of the light. Crawling underneath our feet, a river running black and green from the heart of the gallows...

Tell me why we never cared to do this when we still had time. We'll never have to give up if we never try. I know I'll only want it when it's gone, into the fire. Show me now. I wish that I could fake it but I don't know how. I know we'll never make it bu...

Underneath endless oceans, all I see is the edge of your smile. Hurricane, set in motion, pulls me into its opening eye. Cast upon shores of fire, blood and water collide. Tears that drown my desire wash away in your tide All rivers lead into a dark...

Farewell, this blackened eye. You learned your lessons falling down, Far behind, and tracing footsteps home. Despite your lack of pride You wore your imperfections well Dignified , spend your time alone. Trace your footsteps home. Your hands are always r...

Today is the first of our numbers We're never asleep Sometimes there's a voice when I close my eyes Sometimes I can't hear you speak Did you learn to take cover Or are you running away? And you see me right through me This shouldn't last forever You'...

Smile, feign Fix until all faces look the same Hearts so full of fear, and their eyes so full of rain Born to lose, but I still play the same game Again and again Blindside Love is just a stranger that will pass by Devils look like angels as they catc...

First place On a classroom wall Every turn of the face Can help to break the fall from a domestic disgrace Every rumour displaced Is lost and found A lack of discipline One hand to cut the other So unprofessional You're not a friend You're just a lover Nothin...

I think my friend said, "I hear footsteps." I wore my black and white dress to the birthday massacre, birthday massacre, birthday... I wore my black and white dress. I think my friend said, "Stick it in the back of her head." I think my friend said, "Two of t...

It's getting late it all just wanes and pales and fades away if we just want it too much and what a shame if all there is is all thats gone away there's nothing left here for us deadlight holiday killing time to make us stay hollow as the promises of yesterda...

They're getting ugly They're a horror show And now we're laughing Because they'll never know That they have everything We give them all of our own And they tell us they're sick and they're all alone They make fools of us together but we always think of them A...

children behave that's what they say when we're together and watch how you play they don't understand and so we're running just as fast as we can holding onto one another's hands trying to get away into the night and then i put my arms around you and you...

All these broken pieces left unglued Should never find their way into the hands of someone like you I'm in the dark I'm alone around you I've never been here before Nobody here to get me through Oh, I'm in the dark Every minute shared is never mine Frozen in...

When I was younger The days all seemed to last So much longer But that was once upon a time There was no one to remind us A shadow waits behind us To steal our breath away In this moment We pretend we're all that matters We're endless Do you thin...

This story's missing a wishing well No mirror to show and tell No kiss that can break the spell I'm falling asleep Every Prince is a fantasy The witch is inside of me Her poison will wash away the memory We kill the lights And put on a show It's all a lie Bu...

take me away from this give me another dose i don't know who to hit but i sure know where to go your hero's worn and thin no chance for us to win we've all been fooled into a false identity come waste away your last days sign away your life today i...

There's a path running under the city Where the stones and the hills divide There's a path we can walk through the loss and the pity She's out of the light she thought it'd be safer She said "I want to go home" Eyes turn grey like a face in the paper S...

Close your eyes The second hand has turned to wave goodbye In time A faded scar is all that's left behind Till then You'll make believe and I will keep pretending Forever Remember, I'll never forget about you Forget about you Forget about you Forge...

Waiting, as I'm wanting to. Speaking as I'm spoken to. Changing to your point of view. Fading as I follow you. A boyish notion of false emotion. These words are spoken, despite my love. A fool's devotion was set in motion. My eyes are open now. It's...

Hands cover whispers of the lovers' fright Fear-cloaked renditions of that autumn night Digging up rumours of the kids in the park What awful things happened in the dark? Take just one last dare Pretend you don't care Till twilight falls Wait, is someone else...

Waiting for their minds to fall asleep Sneaking out the door to the park I creep Where my machine will wait for me Open up the doors and stumble inside Over a sleeping world we ride To places I dont want to see Don't pretend you feel It turns your words to pl...

i can't decide which one of us will leave here alive your fingers breaking as i place them over mine the only thing i need is time to change your mind i said when all that you know has fallen behind you it's not the past that your afraid to see ther...

Face them, the time will erase them Stop trying to chase them I've taken my place and it's not worth the tears I waited so long for this love As another was slipping away I waited so long for this moment As the others were wasted Cast a shade to save your ey...

You're a curse I cut my lips on your diamond hands I'm at my worst When you're breaking my heart's remand There's nothing to say that you don't know You're walking away when I won't go This isn't the first time you won't stay This isn't the last time y...

There is nothing You can try That I have not Already done to myself There is nothing You can do That I have not Already done to myself There is nothing You can do That I have not Already done to myself There is nothing You can do That I have not...

Five glasses changed my mind Seems like the ticking hands are taking their time I guess I've been at home for longer than it takes to unwind So slap me if I step out of line Now in smaller spaces, careless lust intoxicated Away from prying eyes And rabid smil...

I think it happened at night time A cold rain drizzled down from space Hiding tears from streetlight eyes I saw the same familiar face Something pseudo tv love A mixed up girl who's something of A fairytale's romantic dream come true She breaks my heart and b...

I think it happened at nighttime A cold rain drizzled down from space Hiding tears from streetlight eyes I saw the same familiar face Something pseudo tv love A mixed up girl who's something of A fairytales romantic dream come true She breaks my heart...

Dedication to the ruin of the light within you Darkness all around It's so easy to let go of all the things that make you true Watch it all fall down You bait me, I follow And if this night feels hollow Then drown me in sorrow There will be no tomorro...

A voice moves silent through the twisted city streets The eyes from tangled gardens peer He grins a broken smile through shattered teeth He brings the darkest time of year And he will save us now And he will take us underground Where we'll never be boun...

From the ocean, we were washed up on the other shore We didn't know where we'd been, or who we were before We were two brothers and a sister with three poison hearts We walked so close together, but our souls were always far apart A slight of hand, a flas...

Caught up in the waves The death of the day Sing like sirens in shadows As blue turns to gray In youth and decay Turning oceans to shallows Lying lonely One is only Only one Dying slowly One is only Only one Like smoke on the mirror Under the pi...

Watching out the window The room has been dark since yesterday Making sure the door is locked Making sure the toys are put away I know a secret You disappear without a sound Tie it up and tear it down I try to remember Our time together One promise...

He watches her while she is sleeping He wonders if he could watch her forever He wants to know every secret she keeps He wants to know what it is that keeps them together He doesn't know what is real anymore He tries to read the reflections from her eyes He n...

i'm looking at a face a pointed chin towards the sky an arrogance it easily betrays the closest friend no moment lost no consequence the circle starts again, away from you deception pulls us in, away from you away from you, away from you an imitation a fab...

Once a night my bedroom light Sneaks out from inside my window Eyes white, I keep out of sight This city's just not pretty like it used to be It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream The promise we make to kill the days between They live in the heart...

And boys are so cold They speak without meaning The only time they talk is in their sleep And girls are a bore Their touch without feeling Their secrets always far too grim to keep And up until now You've lived in their shadows trying hard to please them But t...

A house of red light Burns like your wanting eyes The rain is away And we say When we say We will play with fire (fire) We will play with fire (fire) And every night, the red lights Will burn like your eyes Our time is never Cause we'll live foreve...

We don't know what time we'll be there but we won't show up till later it will all look so much nicer after all of us arrive Promise me to pass the time Dance with me on plastic tears kiss me We won't feel alone till morning when we disappear Though we all w...

He puts the gun to her head She tells him everything Her voice is haunted like a dream He sews the crack in his heart Before he tears her apart In the basement underneath Never say no to me, Never say no to me He burns her high school pictures And buries old...

Praise the white-handed queen The gold and the green I give to her From this broken heart By nail and by tooth The blood of my youth flows over her Falling like the rain Falling like the rain Falling like the rain Praise the truth come to light The v...

Best of cruel intentions Binding what they fail to mention No truth, all pretention Raise your hand to get attention You'd give it We'd take it You'd build it We'd break it You sign and we erase it You'd feel it We'd fake it It's my red star steal it It's my...

It's safe to say there's only now A place called home is just a memory away I know I've done this all before A thousands silent voices begging me to stay Apologies all left unsaid Secrets better left unspoken Dreams laid down and put to bed Rumors st...

Make you up, take you out Play it up, to bring you down Take the time to make this last Spin the wheel, watch it crash Turn the dress to broken glass Strike the pose and hold the flash I'm not the only one, who's bleeding Before the past is done, repeating Ge...

i woke up as i waited bleeding slow there was no way to make all this blow over so i started writing the ending i said too much and you just kept on pretending for both of us i could never speak anyway what you wanted to hear i couldn't convey we were j...

Her voice cuts through the walls Rings through everything that's hollow These bitter words recall All that's left and hard to swallow She was always good For nothing when the Good broke bad All she's got to lose is Everything she never has Every...

A painting for every face No correction, just cover up She can't afford to come off Hot cause she's too cold to shiver Too cold to shiver Too cold to shiver in this cold She's too cold to shiver All the hands along the wall Taking time to break her fa...

it's not enough to find a moment as light moves away we'll leave tonight on empty highways there's no coming back here the painted hallways forever and always are lost to you how can you criticize when you're not here to compromise? words fade as time goe...

Wait dear The time is getting late here I'm all washed up and graced with faint applause Dressed in a cheap facade I'm looking for a place I'll never see again A night turns to a day A street I've never walked on I was never here Just a faint reflection A day...

I walk out to the edge of the lake, eyes following the water as it washes my convictions away. He stops me when I’m starting to pray. He says, “Intuition is awakening suspicion.” He says, “My tradition is the art of superstition.” I wake up in the light of...

Tonight they're calling out your name A light across the river They're coming for you Let me in and I'll explain So dark outside here I'm afraid I'll disappear I know you're in there I sense your fear Surrender I know you are hiding here Come, my dear You ca...

I think my friend said "I hear footsteps" I wore my black and white dress to the birthday massacre, birthday massacre, birthday I wore my black and white dress I think my friend said "Stick it in the back of her head," I think my friend said "Two of them...

Her fabulous invention, What strange imagination shown. Her gloroius intentions, a sea of doubt beneath her own. You're not the first to dream this, little girl. You know it's never happened once in this world. It never crossed my mind that one so young could...

See they told you not to open the door But you did Despite my love Some things will never be the same again Again Tonight my love A Boyish notion A False emotion These words are spoken Despite my love In violent ocean Your heart is frozen My eyes...

Here in the dark Don't fall asleep We walk through the smoke Trying not to breathe Don't let me go Stay close to me Don't look behind us There's nothing to see below Let me go From here I know It's a long way home Into the woods Under the trees...

Last night I watched a memory Fall from the sky like a star A flash of modern history So distant that I forgot I disappeared Hid my name No one even noticed For days The surface I'm sinking under What's at the bottom that I can discover? I'm fal...

Turn around, look at what you see In her face, the mirror of your dreams Make believe I'm everywhere, living in your eyes Written on the pages is the answer to a never ending story Reach the stars, fly a fantasy Dream a dream, and what you see will be L...

Let me show you the way through the water You don't have to explain yourself Turn your face to the stars I see you smiling In summer I drowned you In winter I found you As the world falls apart around me The serpent is dreaming I don't know this feeling As we...

Tighten your tie boy. You're something to die for. But don't hold your breath now. You're just killing time. Tonight you can dream boy. Imagine a whisper. If you can keep secrets, then I'll tell you mine. Remember a promise you couldn't hold on to. Though it b...

erasing these two photographs is just a waste of time the danger's in the subtlety between the evening and the night two hearts beating one beats the other while the other just looks away two hearts dreaming nightmare together leaving nothing more nothing...

You know you're too young for your age I feel kind of sorry for you Cause it's such a shame You won't be laughing when I'm dead Under stairs where no one cares I'm dead And that is where I'll wait for you Nothing here has changed Maybe you should go and find...

You're a story that I hoped I'd never have to tell You're a lesson that I wish I'd never learned so well After all my years of giving up and letting go All I wanted was to give you what you've never known I know now You can only hurt me cause I let you g...

Lately, Nothing passes lightly. A heavy hand is holding me down - A breeze is just an unfamiliar sound, to me. Just close the door, It's all coming back to me. Be still my heart, 'Cause it's all coming back. Just close the door, It's all coming back to me. Be...

You're never too far from my mind's eye I search for the meaning between your words A gentle poison to calm my soul We dance in the halls of our twilight The heart is a liar When you run away If you take me higher There is no escape Our love is pure fo...

Happy in her soft red dress The worst nightmare there ever was I wake up, shaking Thinking of her big black eyes that shone like stars Bashed her head against the wall I pulled out mostly all her hair Dragged her through the dirt and grass But Velvet never se...
