Hello Vancouver 04:20
lyrics

When we saw it all,  Did you see it through my eyes?  When I didn't call,  Could you see that I never lied?  Let's watch these pillars fall,  And get on with our lives  Let's blame our poor calls,  And forget that I ever tried.  They say love was written on empty walls,  And these deadbeat halls were meant to swallow me.  Meant to swallow me.  It's a terrible feeling,  And all that I'm seeing,  Turns my breath into nothing,  Changing life into something.  And if we were all mighty,  We might give up our fighting,  Have a chance to see rightly,  You know I'd find you in a heartbeat.  They say love was written on empty walls,  And these deadbeat halls were meant to swallow me.  I swear I am nailed to this empty bed,  And the things you said will always follow me.  Always follow me.  This life is no gift it's a prison sentence and I will get out of this cell,  This life is no gift it's a prison sentence and I will get out of this cell,  This life is no gift it's a prison sentence and I will get out of this cell,  This life is no gift it's a prison sentence and I am trapped here forever. They say love was written on empty walls,  And these deadbeat halls were meant to swallow me.  I swear I am nailed to this empty bed,  And the things you said will always follow me. Cause this life is no gift it's a prison sentence and I will get out of this cell,  This life is no gift it's a prison sentence and I will get out of this cell,  This life is no gift it's a prison sentence and I will get out of this cell,  This life is no gift it's a prison sentence and I'll get out if it kills me.

It’s getting worse with all this division Between lust and love, it’s hard with blurry vision I’m not alone, in this room anymore, but i can’t say i’m living I’m a wreck with all these indecisions It’s getting worse and no one seems to listen I’m not the first, who’s life needs some revision If I’m alone, in this cold, dark room, for one more lonely minute I’ll crawl in bed with all my rash decisions I’m in bed with all my rash decisions Keeping pace with all my stumbling intuitions If i am to keep this up, i know i’ll end up wishing That i stayed in bed alone again Its funny though, i thought that this replaced those Who would’ve know, that this is all just for show And we’ll pretend, That none of this ever mattered And no one knows the better  I wish that one of us had loved the other I’m in bed with all my rash decisions Keeping pace with all my stumbling intuitions If i am to keep this up, i know i’ll end up wishing That i stayed in bed alone again If I could, i would tear my heart from my sleeve You tore my shirt to shreds when you took me to bed  If i could i would never tell you to leave But i can see through you with both eyes closed I’m in bed with all my rash decisions Keeping pace with all my stumbling intuitions If i am to keep this up, i know i’ll end up wishing That i stayed in bed alone again I can see through you with both eyes closed I can see through you with both eyes closed Night after night, I know how this goes I can see through you

Everyone Loves The Violins 03:15
lyrics

She walks on water as I sink into the ground, And I’ve never been the type to figure this out. All these one liners, they break my teeth, And I’ve gone blind from things I’ll never see. And everyone knows I’ve not slept for days, Cause wonderful things come in horrible ways, If I could bring myself to hold her gaze, Maybe this won’t be, So bad She calls for sailors and I’m just a stowaway, But at this point I could care less if I’m thrown away. Love thyself or love not at all, But poor old me, I set myself too tall. And everyone knows I’ve not slept for days, Cause wonderful things come in horrible ways, If I could bring myself to hold her gaze, Maybe this won’t be, So bad Maybe this won’t be, So bad Maybe this won’t be, So bad And everyone knows I’ve not slept for days, Cause wonderful things come in horrible ways, If I could bring myself to hold her gaze, Maybe this won’t be, So bad

So lift your spirits, only slightly Your life is crashing, right before your eyes Take in one more breath, won't be your last one You better start, you better start to believe They say the city never sleep and neither do I My vessels are crowded streets, my hopes scrape the sky And you were strung along this story, now you live in all your glory If these are your wonder years, live them till the dream dies. Cause the one thing you can't do is water down the fire in your eyes And the worst thing that you could do Is forget Is forget And I'll never understand Why we pretend We pretend That you and I live different lives They say the most awful things and I've heard them all You wouldn't believe the cruel names they call But you were strung along this story, now you live in all your glory If these are your wonder years, do your best to survive Cause the one thing you can't do is water down the fire in your eyes And the worst thing that you could do Is forget Is forget And I'll never understand Why we pretend we pretend That you and I live different lives And all this poetry doesn't do it justice I wish I could instill this emptiness But I must confess that I can't confess to being hurt Cause if you don't let this hurt, you'll never beat this. I remember all the apparitions I fell in love with all those years ago When the worst thing in life was a bad grade Now the worst thing in life is waking up Because this weight just crushes the dreams you have in your sleep And you forget them, In an instant. And the worst thing that you could do is forget I live a good life I live a good life And I'll never understand why we pretend I live a good life I live a good life The worst thing that you could do is forget I live a good life I live a good life And I'll never understand why we pretend You'll never be alone You'll never be alone Anymore Anymore
