CROSS YOUR HEART AND HOPE TO DIE
I won't be long
I just remembered something
You should go on
before the light behind you fades
Such a shame about the weather
it feels like it's never going to change
Unbreakable
what's already broken
And so it goes
not a word is spoken
And the knife gets twisted deeper
with a grin
And it doesn't feel like anything
Begin to slowly fade
Such a shame about the weather
it feels
like it's never going to change
So all along you wanted something
And all along I didn't care
I don't blame you for never being there
All together now we crumble into this

SICK OF ME
So here I go again
falling headfirst into
this descent
I've tried to shed this skin
but somehow I keep slipping
back into it
Build a wall to stop these demons
Break my bones and I can't feel it
Late again
Late again
Shut my eyes to kill these reasons
Boil my blood to keep from healing
Late again
Late again
Obligatory grin
sometimes its too exhausting
to fit in
Why should I pretend
that I need everybody
to be a friend?
Build a wall to stop these demons
Break my bones and I can't feel it
Late again
Late again
Shut my eyes to kill these reasons
Boil my blood to keep from healing
Late again
Late again

INCOMMUNICADO
Did you get the message?
Somebody killed the messenger I guess
We may never speak again
But it seems like we're getting closer
It seems like we're getting closer
It seems like we're getting over
It seems like we're going under
Thank you for your patience
please continue holding
Your estimated waiting time
is something only
used to discourage you
Incommunicado
can't hear what they're saying
Shouldn't someone tell them
there's no point in waiting?
We've got to bury this
It's time to move on

POLISH
Garbage in, garbage out
I can't stop this ship from sinking
So full of purpose
So full of meaning
I can't stop this chest from beating
And there's no air here
I'm barely breathing
If I lost control
please protect these things I need to be whole
I thought that there'd be more than this
This drowning feeling less and less
And all of the shiny polish on this soul!
In spite of these best intentions
You don't have to
If you don't want to
Just remember, “you're only as good
as what you once were”
But don't be so sure
If I lost control
please protect these things I need to be whole
I thought that there'd be more than this
This drowning feeling less and less
And all of the shiny polish on this soul!
Garbage in, garbage out

ABSOLUTION
It's not as easy getting numb
Deny the thing that you've become
You'll be sorry for the things you've said and done
Take a good look at yourself
You're just like everybody else
We make excuses for the things we can't outrun
If everything I've ever done was wrong
then thanks to you for pointing out
my glaring and my smallest imperfections
Let this be a lesson
I was only trying to set things right
There's no absolution
There is only will and means
selling faith to whoever will buy
I guess it's easier for some
To just ignore this droning hum
But you'll be sorry for the things you've said and done
The true believers tell themselves
they're not like anybody else
Do you believe that you've been true with anyone?
If everything I've ever done was wrong
then thanks to you for pointing out
my glaring and my smallest imperfections
Let this be a lesson
I was only trying to set things right
There's no absolution
There is only will and means
selling faith to whoever will buy
Maybe I'm uncomfortable
Maybe this got old
Impatient and insufferable
Feels like everything is wrong

HALF ASLEEP
Wake up now this time
you've been hiding
underneath the covers of your bed again
It's alright
I thought that I
could make this into anything I wanted
Suppose that I've forgotten
how to dream?
We could steal a little time away
And think of something more to say
to make it seem like it's alright
I thought that I
might feel something different this time
instead I don't feel anything at all
Are you awake or am I talking to myself?
Because I was hoping you weren't listening
You're such a fake
and I don't know if I can tell
I wish that I could fall asleep again
Wake up now this time
You're not fooling anyone
pretending that you're still asleep
But I don't mind
You said if I
woke up then I might never be able
to get myself to fall asleep again
Are you awake or am I talking to myself?
Because I was hoping you weren't listening
You're such a fake
and I don't know if I can tell
I wish that I could fall asleep again

BLEEDING OUT
If all of this and all of that means nothing
It's such a waste of time
Indifferent, unkind
We pride ourselves in knowing that we're better
than everyone like you
Which one then am I?
I could never care enough
I could never give enough
I could never bleed enough to please you
You need everything
A give and take
through waking hours of dreaming
Building confidence
Preparing for the worst
So off we go intent on getting somewhere
Anywhere but here
as long as you're there first
I could never care enough
I could never give enough
I could never bleed enough to please you
You need everything
Fill it up until it's overflowing
So full that you can't breathe
Suffocate the dream
It's not enough to satisfy the aching
And so relentlessly
devouring everything
I could never care enough
I could never give enough
I could never bleed enough to please you
You need everything

Say Goodbye Again

SAY GOODBYE AGAIN
Another lie on lips that say
"This might be a mistake but it's familiar"
It doesn't matter anyway
We'd still be heading nowhere fast
I should've stayed away from you
I almost never do the things
that I'm supposed to do
I should just stay away from you
That's why I don't
And do we get what we deserve?
And if we're satisfied then what comes after?
You'll never know until you learn
it's a beautiful disaster
I should've stayed away from you
I almost never do the things
that I'm supposed to do
I should just stay away from you
That's why I don't

I will come back to my senses
I will try and start again
It's almost like I never even
took a single step
I thought that I was getting somewhere
I hadn't even left
I'll be OK
I will be saved
I will pull myself together
I will come up with a plan
It's almost like I never even
took a single step
I thought that I was getting somewhere
I hadn't even left
I'll be OK
I will be saved
Do you know my name?
It's written in my breath on the windowpane
I will remember what I'm made of
I will turn it all around
It's almost like I never even
took a single step
It felt like I was getting somewhere
I hadn't even left
But I'll be OK
I will be saved
Do you know my name?
It's written in my breath on the windowpane

SHINE BOX
Dead on? disappointing
You're wrong
I'm only halfway come undone
A sting that hasn't stung
but waiting
Go on suppose me
You can't disappoint me
You've already won
when I was never in your game
And we can't fall down if we don't stand
but there's no room in here to kneel
May the sun shine warm on your face
Until we meet again, God keep you
And there's no reward for good intentions
but there's a path that leads you down
May the sun shine warm on your face
Until we meet again, God keep you
All along still hoping
there's a chance of destroying
any glimpse of faith
The truth is what we know to be true
And we can't fall down if we don't stand
but there's no room in here to kneel
May the sun shine warm on your face
Until we meet again, God keep you
And there's no reward for good intentions
but there's a path that leads you down
May the sun shine warm on your face
Until we meet again, God keep you

Crows
by Strung Out
supported by 4 fans who also own “Melancholics Anonymous”
Strung Out is a personal favorite. I can listen to every one of their albums on repeat and just want to keep going; catchy is an understatement for their sound. Thought-provoking lyrics and emotionally-driven sound. Can't beat Strung Out even on their worst days. So play this on repeat for a day and watch the synchronicity pile up in your own life.
