My time is running out

I think I'm drowning

Asphyxiated

I wanna break this spell

you've created

You're something beautiful

A contradiction

I wanna play the game

I want the friction

You will be the death of me

Yeah You will be the death of me

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out

Our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom

Bound and restricted

I tried to give you up

But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped

sense of elation

You'd never dream of

Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

our time is running out

our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

How did it come to this?

ooooohh

yeah You will suck the life out of me

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

our time is running out

our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

How did it come to this?

Ooooohh

DEAR GOD

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

While I recall all the words you spoke to me

Can't help but wish that I was there

Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around,

when I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you

But I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road

There's no one here while the city sleeps

and all the shops are closed

Can't help but think of the times I've had with you

Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around,

when I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you

I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again

Some search, never finding a way

Before long, they waste away

I found you, something told me to stay

I gave in, to selfish ways

And how I miss someone to hold

when hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around,

when I'm much too far away

We all need the person who can be true to you

I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again

PERFECT

Hey Dad look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according

To plan?

Do you think I’m wasting

My time doing things I

Wanna do?

But it hurts when you

Disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I’m never gonna be good

Enough for you

I can’t pretend that

I’m alright

And you can’t change me

‘Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Now it’s just too late

And we can’t go back

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be

My hero?

All the days

You spent with me

Now seem so far away

And it feels like you don’t

Care anymore

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I’m never gonna be good

Enough for you

I can’t stand another fight

And nothing’ alright

‘Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Now it’s just too late

And we can’t go back

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Nothing’s gonna change

The things that you said

Nothing’s gonna make this

Right again

Please don’t turn your back

I can’t believe it’s hard

Just to talk to you

But you don’t understand

‘Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Now it’s just too late

And we can’t go back

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

‘Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Now it’s just too late

And we can’t go back

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect
HEY THERE DELILAH

Hey there Delilah what's it like in New York City

I'm a thousand miles away but girl tonight you look so pretty

Yes you do

Times Square can't shine as bright as you

I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah don't you worry about the distance

I'm right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen

Close your eyes

Listen to my voice it's my disguise

I'm by your side

Oh, it's what you do to me

Hey there Delilah I know times are getting hard

But just believe me girl someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good

We'll have the life we knew we would

My word is good

Hey there Delilah I've got so much left to say

If every simple song I wrote to you would take your breath away

I'd write it all

Even more in love with me you'd fall

We'd have it all

A thousand miles seems pretty far

But they've got planes and trains and cars

I'd walk to you if I had no other way

Our friends would all make fun of us

And we'll just laugh along because

We know that none of them have felt this way

Delilah I can promise you that by the time we get through

The world will never ever be the same

And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah you be good and don't you miss me

Two more years and you'll be done with school

And I'll be making history like I do

And you'll know it's all because of you

We can do whatever we want to

Hey there Delilah here's to you

This one's for you

I'M NOT OKAY

Well if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say.

I never want to let you down or have you go- it's better off this way.

For all the dirty looks, for photographs your boyfriend took.

Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

I'm not okay.

I'm not, okay.

I'm not okay, you wear me out.

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems? (I'm not okay)

I told you time and time again you sing the words (I'm not okay),

but don't know what it means to be a joke and look another line without a hook.

I held you close as we both shook.

For the last time, take a good hard look.

I'm not okay. I'm not, okay.

I'm not okay, you wear me out.

Forget about the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took.
You said you read me like a book, well the pages all are torn and frayed out.

I'm okay, I'm o-kay. I' m okay now (I'm okay now).

But you really didn't listen to me because I'm telling you the truth,

mean this I'm okay- trust me.

I'm not okay. I'm not okay.

Well, I'm not okay, I'm not o' fucking kay.

I'm not okay. I'm not okay (okay).

BLEED IT OUT

Yeah here we go for the hundredth time

Hand grenade pins in every line

Flow em up and let something shine

Going out of my fucking mind

Fithy mouth, no excuse

Find a new place to hang this noose

String me up from atop these roofs

Knot it tight so i won't get loose

Truth is you can stop and stare

Run myself out and no one cares

Dug the trench out lay it down there

With the shovel up out of reach somewhere

Yeah, someone pour it in

Make it a dirt dance floor again

Say your prayers and stomp it out

When they bring that chorus in

[Chorus]

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out

[End Chorus]

Go start the show

Drop your boys and the sloppy flow

Shotgun I put lock and load

Cock it back and then watch it go

Mama help me I've been cursed

Death is rolling in every verse

Candy paint on this brand new hearse

Can't contain him he knows he works

Practice hurts I wont lie

Doesn't matter how hard I try

Half the words dont mean a thing

And I know that I wont be satisfied

So why try ignoring it

Make it a dirt dance floor again

Say your prayers and stomp it out

When they bring that chorus in

[Chorus]

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out

I've opened up these skies

I'll make you face this

I bought myself some fire

I'll make you, face, this, now!!!!

[Chorus]

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out digging deeper

Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out

I bleed it out

I bleed it out
IN THE END

It starts with

one thing/I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

keep that in mind/I designed this rhyme

to explain in due time

All I knoe

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

Its so unreal

Didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on/But didn't even know

Wasted it all just to

Watch it go

I kept everything inside and even tho I tried/It all fell apart

What it meant to me will evetually/be a memory/of a time when

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall
And lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

One thing/i don't know why

Doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind/I designed this rhyme

To remind myself How

I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was a part of ur property

Remembering all the times you fought w/ me/I'm surprised

It got so (far)

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouln't even reconize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes bak to me

In the end

You kept evetyhing inside and even though I tried/it all fell apart

What it meant to me/will eventually/be a memory/of a time when I

Tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

And lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

Repeat 2x:

I put my trust in you

Pushed as far as i can go

For all this

Theres only one thing u should know

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

And lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass

seven years has gone so fast

wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again

falling from the stars

drenched in my pain again

becoming who we are

as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost

wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed

the innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again

like we did when spring began

wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again

falling from the stars

drenched in my pain again

becoming who we are

as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost

wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass

seven years has gone so fast

wake me up when september ends

wake me up when september ends

wake me up when september ends

LOVE BUG

Called you for the first time yesterday

Finally found the missing part of me

Felt so close but you were far away

Left me without anything to say

Now I'm speechless

Over the edge

I'm just breathless

I never thought that I'd catch this

Lovebug again

Hopeless

Head over heels in the moment

I never thought that I'd get hit

By this lovebug again

I can't get your smile out of my mind

(I can't get you out of my mind)

I think about your eyes all the time

You're beautiful but you don't even try

(You don't even, don't even try)

Modesty is just so hard to find

Now I'm speechless

Over the edge

I'm just breathless

I never thought that I'd catch this

Lovebug again
Hopeless

Head over heels in the moment

I never thought that I'd get hit

By this lovebug again

Kissed her for the first time yesterday

Everything I wished that it would be

Suddenly I forgot how to speak

Hopeless, breathless, baby, can't you see

Now I'm�

Yeah!

Now I'm speechless

Over the edge

I'm just breathless

I never thought that I'd catch this

Lovebug again

Now I'm hopeless

Head over heels in the moment

I never thought that I'd get hit

By this lovebug again

Ohh... lovebug again

YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL- THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS

When I see your smile

Tears run down my face I can't replace

And now that I'm strong I have figured out

How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul

And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Seasons are changing

And waves are crashing

And stars are falling all for us

Days grow longer and nights grow shorter

I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart

Please don't throw that away

Cuz I'm here for you

Please don't walk away and

Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will

Pull my strings just for a thrill

And I know I'll be okay

Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

[to fade]
