People Call It Chatter

Just hold the last breath you took
These buildings once shook
Now found in silence they ache
These years are taking their toll
Fear that I’m not in control
Soon you’ll find out I’m replaced
Oh, and I know…
You can’t have it all
I’ve heard it before
You can’t have it all
I know, I know
You can’t have it all
They’ve told me before
You can’t have it all
Try not to break eye contact
Oh I may not get it back
Into the silence return
For us there’s nothing outside
How long will you let me hide?
This fantasy brightly burns
Oh, but I know…
You can’t have it all
I’ve heard it before
You can’t have it all
I know, I know
You can’t have it all
They’ve told me before
You can’t have it all
I see you in my head
And you’re slowly crawling into my bed
But I know…
You can’t have it all
I know, I know
You can’t have it all
This imposter here, he’s soon to be found out
If only fueled by fear do you ever feel doubt?
I was not as I appeared, those voices start to shout
Oh darling let this last, I’ve lived so long without
You can’t have it all
I’ve heard it before
You can’t have it all
I know, I know
You can’t have it all
They’ve told me before
You can’t have it all
I’ll see this all in my dreams
‘Cause it surely cannot be what it seems
And I know…
You can’t have it all
I know, I know
You can’t have it all

I Was the Poison
04:12

I always knew I would live this life
Caught up and tangled
Straining to resolve the explanation of how two eyes
Could cut right through you
Thank god for this disguise
I always felt I would never die
There was no heartbreak
No desperate, long goodbyes
How could these images in my head turn into physical touch?
Now I’m alive!
I was the poison in my own mind
Observing angles, trying to decide
Within the background I’d hoped you’d find
A piece of me that I’d somehow left behind
I felt the spirit was unrefined
Now too captivated by how you were designed
I’m pressing down into warm, soft flesh
Your rapid breathing
Oh god now I’m alive!
Barely believing
Oh god now I’m alive!
Is this real life?
I don’t believe in cosmic signs
Do you?
Oh, with time there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to you
Is this real life?

What Will Become of Us
07:31
|

It’s so strange how the world will show
These things that we suddenly feel that we have always known
There are times when you are alone
And motivation find that source that we never truly own
Your cover’s blown
Then somehow you’re not on your own
How are you not on your own?
Somehow you’re not on your own
The disappearing time
It’s getting harder to find
Tell me what will become of us
Words don’t define
As we intertwine
Tell me what will become of us
Tell me what have we done?
Maybe I never tried
Hopefully this time
Lay on the floor this room is burnin’ up
Hands that beg to be tied
We don’t waste anytime
Craving more, these bodies burnin’ up
The grief that builds within all of our reach
The static in our hands
And we were so damn close
We knew better than to boast
Saw the tunnel and the light
Hopefully not this time
No, not this time
And now my fantasies are taking over me
And if you’re hearing me, they’ve taken over
And now my fantasies are taking over me
And if you’re hearing me, it’s already over
The disappearing time
It’s getting harder to find
Tell me what will become of us
Words don’t define
As we intertwine
Tell me what will become of us
Tell me what will become of us
