The lock on my door is cold
You haven’t opened it in years
Twenty-four months of dead air
I should’ve listened to my fears
Oh well, we drifted away
Let’s meet at the graveyard
That’s where our interconnections lie
Some relationships die hard
Echoes of our laughter fade
But I hear them from time to time
The brightest stars always burn out
But I refuse to let this die
You were gone In the shutter of a lens
Life sends us these twists and bends
You were gone In the shutter of a lens
It was a short-lived trend
You rode on a separate tide
Why did I think there was a chance
That your name would be on my screen
I’d just get a fleeting glance
Maybe we’ll collide in town
Share an awkward smile and wave
But we’re on different planets now
Lets just go our separate ways
You were gone In the shutter of a lens
Life sends us these twists and bends
You were gone In the shutter of a lens
It was a short-lived trend
There’s an expiration date
On the back of my memories
It’s getting way too late
I’m sick of this story
There’s an expiration date
On the back of my memories
It’s getting way too late
I’m sick of this story
There’s an expiration date
On the back of my memories
It’s getting way too late
I’m sick of this story
You were gone In the shutter of a lens
Life sends us these twists and bends
You were gone In the shutter of a lens
It was a short-lived trend

You saw the ghost all of this time
You knew it kept me up all night
Why did you not warn me
Address all of these haunting
Thoughts about fucking it up
Asking you if something’s wrong
Painting on your comfort
While we both suffer
Choice words can make or break me
Choice words made to frustrate me
Choice words can make or break me
Your words can make or break me
I can't just change the date again
I'm pretty sure that you're mad
I planned my day around you
Now I don't where I'm heading to
My sweat is turning into frost
Your lexicon has left me lost
You could’ve changed a few lyrics
Do I deserve to feel this
Choice words can make or break me
Choice words made to frustrate me
Choice words can make or break me
Your words can make or break me
(Choice words can make or break me)
(Choice words can make or break me)
(Choice words can make or break me)
(Choice words can make or break me)
I love you, I hate you
You caused the best of times, the worst of times
You had me hanging by a thread
You leave me hating, hurting every time
You have me, you have my
You are my one and only valentine
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge

Bite my tongue
Bleed my gums
It's good to know
I still have blood
Even though it feels so cold
Why does it feel so cold?
It makes its way into my life
Every time I close my mind
I know I have to do what's right
Despite attempts of being blind
I'm so glad I give a damn
When the blade enters my hand
I will always break the dam
And let it drown all of the land
Bite my tongue
Bleed my gums
It's good to know
I still have blood
Even though it feels so cold
Bite my tongue
Bleed my gums
It's good to know
I still have blood
Even when it feels so cold
Why does it feel so cold?
Pull it back and clean it out
The nihilistic thoughts and doubts
This apathy we'll do without
I'll find something to cry about
Bite my tongue
Bleed my gums
It's good to know
I still have blood
Even though it feels so cold
Bite my tongue
Bleed my gums
It's good to know
I still have blood
Even when it feels so cold
Why does it feel so cold?
I'll do it all again
I don't want to pretend
I'll do it all again
I don't want to pretend
I'll do it all again
I don't want to pretend
I'll do it all again
I don't want to pretend
Bite my tongue
Bleed my gums
It's good to know
I still have blood
Even though it feels so cold
Bite my tongue
Bleed my gums
It's good to know
I still have blood
Even when it feels so cold
Why does it feel so cold?

Let dysfunction eat you whole
and now it's time to start the show
Where the plot stays standing still
And the hero never lands a kill
The fruit grows bitter everyday
It's never got a pleasant taste
Locked away from something fresh
Oh how you have made a mess
Oh, everyone's world keeps spinning
Except yours, except yours
Oh, how your life is sitting
down, down, down, down
Draw a spiral staircase now
How to end it, you don't know how
Is there an ending to this song
Please promise me it won't take long
Oh, everyone's world keeps spinning
Except yours, except yours
Oh, how your life is sitting
down, down, down, down
Oh, everyone's world keeps spinning
Except yours, except yours
Oh, how your life is sitting
down, down, down, down
You drew up the blueprints
For a hole in the ground
You took the time to build it
It's nice to keep around
You drew up the blueprints
For a hole in the ground
You took the time to build it
Now your stuck underground
Oh, everyone's world keeps spinning
Except yours, except yours
Oh, how your life is sitting
down, down, down, down
Oh, everyone's world keeps spinning
Except yours, except yours
Oh, how your life is sitting
down, down, down, down

They haven’t returned my tapes
I’ve been staying up too late
What if I don’t get them back?
Will the cases be all cracked?
I hope they’re having fun
Oh when will this be done
Hope it remembers where I left off
Or i’m just another friend they’ve swept off
Don’t touch my toy box
Unless I say you can
Don’t bring it outside
Not with those dirty hands
It won’t be the same
It won’t feel the same
Blending in like a chameleon
Why won’t you meet me at the median
Pretend that you don’t know me
So your friends don’t think you’re lowly
I know I have no control
But you’re making me worry
What did I do wrong
That made you forget me
Don’t touch my toy box
Unless I say you can
Don’t bring it outside
Not with those dirty hands
It won’t be the same
It won’t feel the same
