Skull

please take a hammer to this heart of stone
26 years and you're still so alone
through gritted teeth sits a conscience detained
where all your friends are your enemies
look inside of you
black hearts see the truth
look inside of you
black hearts seek the truth
trapped in these black walls your skull is a cage
to house these thoughts that my tongue has betrayed
inside this cell sits an incarcerate
you've got the key but the lock's rusted shut
look inside of you
black hearts see the truth
look inside of you
black hearts seek the truth

little angel where have you been?
years have left all these marks on my skin
hope you made the choice to follow your heart
you've been gone for too long and my world's fallen apart
little devil where have you been?
have you paid Jesus off for my sins?
thought you'd offer some free advice
i've been given two paths and I can't make the choice
tell me reaper is this where it ends?
(I really hope so)
I leave behind far more exes than friends
(it's all their fault)
you've been chasing my all my life and you're running
you're running
tell me reaper is this where it ends?
I leave behind far more exes than friends
you've been chasing my all my life and you're running
you're running

i think I'm starting to feel things slip through the cracks
well I've been down this road before and it feels like I'm nearin the end
if you remember me I hope you know that I tried
I'm an island in the ocean with no ships around for miles
what you see is an empty vessel driftin on
well I just want you to know I never tried to disappoint anyone
my eyes are shut but I can feel you in my hands
because its burning in your basement and I feel our bodies turning to ash
I always thought you would be with me when it all ends
well I'm a castle that is crumbling and I feel the armies closing in
so please don't let me hang around
cause I don't wanna be the guy that's dragging you down
(I can see it now)
it seems I've reached my final throws
we're in the bottom of the 9th won't you leave me alone?
(and I'm all struck out)
what you see is an empty vessel driftin on
well I just want you to know that
so please don't let me hang around
cause I don't wanna be the guy that's dragging you down
(I can see it now)
it seems I've reached my final throws
we're in the bottom of the 9th won't you leave me alone?
(and I'm all struck out)
we're in the bottom of the 9th please just leave me alone

Losing Daylight

you're cutting out
your signal is starting fade
I know that we're worlds apart
but the light is falling dead
and I don't wanna be left with just shapes and sounds
and the outline of a face that I barely recognize
and I don't wanna become just an empty space
in the outline of someone I don't even recognize
lead me out of this dark hole
maybe we can escape this
there may be peace on the surface
but I'll just get lost in my anxiety
don't look for me on your way out
I'll drag you back down with me
I think that we're losing daylight (and I can't see)
just wrap your arms around me
