Aside From This

A door swings open
Turns into a narrow road
Frame is frozen
A film that no one's ever shown
We keep coping
And get along like brothers do
A word is spoken
And everything is torn in two
Aside from this
I came here to save you
You blame me for all of this
I'm sorry that it changed you
Promise broken
Suddenly the same old show
Floodgates open
A friend becomes the same old foe
We keep fighting
Regardless of what others do
The rain keeps falling
And stuck outside is me and you
Head to head
Until we're dead
The light turns red
With every disagreement
Don't take what I said and turn it back on me
And don't take what I did and let it tear us apart
Don't fuck with my head, I'll turn it back on you
We'll never survive if we don't stick together
Aside from this
I came here to save you
You blame me for all of this
And I blame you

Wake Up

Where should I begin?
My heavy head is finally off the ground
I'm finally set in my skin
I make the loudest noise without a sound
And I'm ready to win
I didn't fall apart I didn't down
Without a doubt I'll always need her around
So please understand
You have to wait for your soulmate to come
This is a wake up
My only way out
Pick me apart until I'm skin and bone
This is a wake up
My only way out
Pick me apart until I can't let go
I'd go from year to year with nothing found
An endless cycle going round and round
Till you took my hand
And taught me to stand
On my two feet and made me who I am
You turned a boy into a real man
Now I understand
Don't let me trip
Don't let me fall apart
And fall back asleep again
I know that you'll take a stand
Just save me from who I am

Cigar Box Melody

I will walk in waves 'long side you
Until the sun shines through
Bury the world behind you
Means nothing new to you
Now it means nothing
After all you've been through
But I had to tell you something
And do my best to heal you
Now I'm afraid you didn't hear a thing
Now you're a little bit broken
I'd give back what I've stolen
I really wish I could
Now I'm afraid you didn't hear me
Now I'm afraid you didn't hear
Now it means something
After all we've been through
But I thought I'd never see you
Please say all you need to
'Cause now I'm afraid I'll always feel this way
Paranoid and frozen
In the nightmare I awoke in
You're sitting here with me
Still I'm afraid you didn't hear me
I'm afraid you didn't hear
This cigar box melody is one last thing that I must sing
Now I can say you're gonna hear me
I can say you're gonna hear
Now I can say you're gonna hear me
Loud and clear
But I still sing for you
I still sing for you
But I still sing for you
I sing this for you
