1. RABBIT HOLE

My rabbit hole
My rabbit hole
My rabbit hole

(My rabbit hole)
(My rabbit hole)
(My rabbit hole)

I found I lost my own reflection in the mirror, unrecognizable
These words I try to speak but nothing's coming out
Just booze and empty shouts
Is this the shit we teach our children growing up?
To never ask for help?
Why would I want I want my son to be like me?
I'll just keep lying to myself

(My rabbit hole)
I'll drown my demons out
(My rabbit hole)
I'll drown my demons out
(My rabbit hole)
I'll drown my demons out
(My rabbit hole)


2. I AM FREE

Lying bare across the floor
Can't take this silence anymore
And it feels like I've lost control

How many times I've said I'd quit?
Each morning looking in the mirror as my reflection makes me sick
I can't recall just what I did
I'm sure as hell it wasn't pretty and I laid my words on thick
Right in your spine, my rigid knife
All this contempt for something smirky that you said the other night
Yes, I'm diseased and I'm to blame
Give me a shot, I swear to god I'll become livid at the sound of your name

Oh, God please tie this rope tight
A noose that fits just right
Oh, God please tie this rope tight
Hold my head upright
Take this knife across my throat
And make amends for all my lies

Lying bare across the floor
Can't take this silence anymore
And it feels like I've lost control
I've lost control

This is the last time that I'll walk ashamed of my choices
This emptiness feeding my future to flames
This is the day I will finally be free of these demons
Addictions that keep me in chains
I am free

Oh, God please tie this rope tight
A noose that fits just right
Oh, God please tie this rope tight
Hold my head upright
Take this knife across my throat
And make amends for all my lies

Lying bare across the floor
Can't take this silence anymore
And it feels like I've lost control

This is the last time that I'll walk ashamed of my choices
This emptiness feeding my future to flames
This is the day I will finally be free of these demons
Addictions that keep me in chains
I am free

Oh, God please tie this rope tight
(Lying bare across the floor, can't take this silence anymore)
A noose that fits just right
(And it feels like I've lost control)

This is the last time that I'll walk ashamed of my choices
This emptiness feeding my future to flames
This is the day I will finally be free of these demons
Addictions that keep me in chains
I am free


3. ANDREA

I said "Please stay next to me like you said you'd do"
But you always do what you want to do
I saw the flame in your eye, it was turning blue
That's what love will do, yes, that's what lust always does
I saw the shame on your heart start to pull you through
Back to the depths of this hell where we bury ourselves

Romance
That's what we call romance
Go

Andrea, we're fine
Just put your hand in mine
I know we're worth the fight
We're still young, but not this time
We're running out of life

If this is goodbye, well I swear I understand
I bit off more than I could chew I tried to fly but couldn't land
I swore I'd follow you to hell and back if that was in your plan
Well, my god, I can't believe I really used that line again

Just let go of me
I can't believe I really used that line again
Just let go of me
I can't believe I really used that line again

That's what we call romance
That's what we call romance
That's what we call romance
That's what we call romance

Andrea, we're fine
Just put your hand in mine
I know we're worth the fight
We're still young, but not this time
We're running out of life
Andrea, we're fine
Just put your hand in mine
I know we're worth the fight
We're still young, but not this time
We're running out of life

And I've never been great with words at times like these
Where everything sparks, everything flames and everything inevitably ends
And as much as I'd like to lie, or better yet, say everything that's on my mind…
I force myself to believe the things you say
What if I can't?

Andrea, we're fine
Just put your hand in mine
I know we're worth the fight
We're still young, but not this time
We're running out of life
Andrea, we're fine
Or are we out of time?
I know we're worth the fight
I may not make it out alive


4. IGNORING RESPONSIBILITIES (INTERLUDE)

Believe in love
After all the married women I've fucked
After all the harlots I've handed my heart to
I still believe in love
It isn't like your love
It's temporary and isn't as beautiful
But it keeps me warm here and there
If this is a cold world we live in
How many lips have you kissed for someone else on them
How many hands have held your heart while their mind was someone else's
There's no real love here, just chemicals
No man should hear fairy tales and those who write are the biggest liars
But I'll tell you straight
Believe in love
Believe in love
Believe in love


5. LOVE LIES

I took the drink, let it slip down my throat
I guess I've been known for worse than simply losing control
But it's the symptoms like these... Well, it's the burn in my soul
That leaves me broken, distraught, and alone

If this is love, then give it to me
If this is love
If this is love
Is this the gift I've been waiting to see?

Burn out the sun. Black out the light
Break all the mirrors, we won't like what we find
Cast my image. Shatter it

Burn out the sun. Black out the light
Break all the mirrors, we won't like what we find
Cast my image. Shatter it

If this is love
(If this is love, then give it to me)
Is this the gift I've been waiting to see?

Burn out the sun. Black out the light
Break all the mirrors, we won't like what we find
Cast my image. Shatter it

Burn out the sun. Black out the light
Break all the mirrors, we won't like what we find
Cast my image. Shatter it
Burn out the sun. Black out the light
Break all the mirrors, we won't like what we find
Cast my image. Shatter it

Well I thought I'd take a moment here to rant
And when I say "rant", I mean repetitively mumble
Over my infatuation with my own self-inflicted disease
Oh, and the way you treat me

Love lies
It sounds a lot like love lies
It sounds a lot like love lies
You lie
We lie
Love lies
But we can't do better

Burn out the sun. Black out the light
Break all the mirrors, we won't like what we find
Cast my image. Shatter it
Burn out the sun. Black out the light
Break all the mirrors, we won't like what we find
Cast my image. Shatter it


6. WAIT AND SEE

I set my heart on fire, then I watched it blaze
I saw it turn to ash, wind carry it away
It was just another day in the life of a drunkard, retired
But still not acting very polite
Well, we all have our vices, some are here to stay
Some will hide in your closet, crawling back one day
I may be looking for pity, just a little remorse
I need to catch a break, stop kicking this dead horse

Wait and see just what we'll be
Wait and see just what we'll be

It's starting to get scary, how time flies so fast
Why can't we make it last?
When all the moments I'd love to remember
End up out of site, and I just can't seem to get any back
I still recall a few times as a child, my mother, my father
But damn, you know that shit never lasts
Ended up snorting shit up my nose just for fun
Smokey lungs. But my god it's time I take my life back

Wait and see. What will remain in the end?
It's time to make for the great escape
I'm sorry I feel this way and I won't ever look back
Now I'm free. I'm finally where I belong
As we're looking through the shattered glass
We know that we won't last, and it's time that we let go

Love, you're looking lost
No sparkle in your eye, I know you're ending up like me
Son, I think you're lost
And when I scream to God I just hope He forgives me

Wait and see. What will remain in the end?
It's time to make for the great escape
I'm sorry I feel this way and I won't ever look back
Now I'm free. I'm finally where I belong
As we're looking through the shattered glass
We know that we won't last, and it's time that we let go

I set my heart on fire, then I watched it blaze
I saw it turn to ash, wind carry it away
It was just another day in the life of a drunkard, retired
But still not acting very polite
Well, we all have our vices, some are here to stay
Some will hide in your closet, crawling back one day
I may be looking for pity, just a little remorse
I need to catch a break, stop kicking this dead horse

Wait and see. What will remain in the end?
It's time to make for the great escape
I'm sorry I feel this way and I won't ever look back
Now I'm free. I'm finally where I belong
As we're looking through the shattered glass
We know that we won't last, and it's time that we let go

Wait and see. What will remain in the end?
It's time to make for the great escape
I'm sorry I feel this way and I won't ever look back
Now I'm free. I'm finally where I belong
As we're looking through the shattered glass
We know that we won't last, and it's time that we let go


7. SECOND HAND SMOKE

I'm breathing like a hurricane, had one too many cigarettes
My knees gave out the second time around
As this bottle emptied straight into my mouth again
I'm really starting to resent
The fact that you're completely sick and gave up fighting for yourself
It shows
Guess I'll take the blame once again
Just keep scratching at my limbs until I let you in

Until I let you suffocate this life right in front of me
This chance that I've been given
Until I let you suffocate this life right in front of me
This chance that I've been given

Breathe till we die
Scream for the sun, will it ever rise?
And when my lungs become cavities of dust
Not even death will replace what we've lost

Please choke me in regret for all the moments that we spent
“All alone” seemed so past tense. But now I'm crying out
“God please let me go back to where we started out”
I bite my tongue, try not to shout
Still, what I'm doing to myself does not deserve forgiveness

I'm giving out, I'm giving in
I think I've finally figured out a way to live, a way to let you in
I'm giving out, I'm giving in
I think I've finally figured out a way to live, still this bottle empties

Breathe till we die
Scream for the sun, will it ever rise?
And when my lungs become cavities of dust
Not even death will replace what we've lost

(I'm trusting you)
I'm sorry I am not a better man
(I'm losing you)
I'm sorry but I'm doing all I can
(I'm trusting you)
I'm sorry I am not a better man
(I'm losing you)
I'm sorry but I'm doing all I can

(I'm trusting you)
(I'm losing you)
(I'm trusting you) Breathe till we die
(I'm losing you) Scream for the sun
(I'm trusting you) Breathe till we die
(I'm losing you) Scream for the sun


8. CARESS

My fingers caress your face
You know there's not much I'd rather do
Still, when I look into your eyes
I know nothing's right and we're drowning in regret

I thought that we were worth the fight
Months pass by and you're giving up on me

So what's it gonna be?
So what's it gonna be?
So what's it gonna be?

My fingers caress your face
You know there's not much I'd rather do
Still, when I look into your eyes
I know nothing's right and we're drowning in regret

This cigarette, it lacks all taste
An ash in my eye would do
It would give me an excuse for all of these tears
They've got nothing to do with you

Why do your eyes tell stories of lies
As your lips mouth “I love you”?
My hands on your face

So what's it gonna be?
So what's it gonna be?
So what's it gonna be?

My fingers caress your face
You know there's not much I'd rather do
Still, when I look into your eyes
I know nothing's right and we're drowning in regret

This cigarette, it lacks all taste
An ash in my eye would do
It would give me an excuse for all of these tears
They've got nothing to do with you

I've never loved you (I'm better off on my own, I'm better off on my own)
I've never wanted this (I'm better off on my own)

I've never loved you
(When I wrapped you in pity your feet were still cold
When I bent over backwards my legs wouldn't hold)
I've never wanted this
(All the weight on my shoulders means nothing in light
Of the vices I live with and spend all my nights)
I've never loved you
(When I wrapped you in pity your feet were still cold
When I bent over backwards my legs wouldn't hold)
I've never wanted this
(All the weight on my shoulders means nothing in light
Of the vices I live with and spend all my nights)

My fingers caress your face
You know there's not much I'd rather do
Still, when I look into your eyes
I know nothing's right and we're drowning in regret

This cigarette, it lacks all taste
An ash in my eye would do
It would give me an excuse for all of these tears
They've got nothing to do with you


9. BLOODY MARY (INTERLUDE)

The pieces fit when we make them
Fuck the hangover round and paint yourself
Three hours to look like you rolled out of bed
No one has to know how much we can't fucking stand
another pointless conversation
Bloody Mary's on Sunday
Bloodshot eyes, tears, and no sleep
From fucking and not fucking
From loving and unloving


10. BLOODY LIP

Was I right?
Just keep telling myself I tried and I got what I wanted
So was I right just telling myself I tried?
(In too deep, we spend life on our knees)
All alone, alone, alone, I can't hack it

Salt lips, false kiss, another moment smashed
Mistaking lust as heaven sent
Breathe in, not once, but maybe twice
Which one will make it out alive?
Chapped lips, bruised hips, another man's been bent
He prayed for love but lust was sent
I thought I could remind you what you said this meant
You lied

Down on my luck for the last time
Close your legs, kill the vibe
Now we'll try, but I still can't sleep at night

Was I right?
Just keep telling myself I tried and I got what I wanted
So was I right just telling myself I tried?
(In too deep, we spend life on our knees)
All alone, alone, alone, I can't hack it

Scratched back, heart attack, I'm right where I belong
Bloody lip, put it in a song
But I can't act like I don't feel the hate
Every time I find god in between your legs
You showed me who I am, you rubbed it in my face
You ripped my wings off and told me "Have faith"
You pushed me off of the cliff, then you told me to fly
My self sufficiency was always a lie

Down on my luck for the last time
Close your legs, kill the vibe
Now we'll try, but I still can't sleep at night

Was I right?
Just keep telling myself I tried and I got what I wanted
So was I right just telling myself I tried?
(In too deep, we spend life on our knees)
All alone, alone, alone, I can't hack it
[x2]

Now, thinking back to the words you said, I'm losing it

Was I right?
Just keep telling myself I tried and I got what I wanted
So was I right just telling myself I tried?
(In too deep, we spend life on our knees)
All alone, alone, alone, I can't hack it
[x2]


11. HEART WITH A HOLE

I've got a heart with a hole and nothing's fitting inside (I love you)
Our words bring so much remorse. Well, have you given up on me?
I just can't bite my tongue. Something's burning inside (I need you)
And it has anchored me down to the bottom of this blackened sea

All that remains at the bottom are lies that I've told
Wash away my sins
With heavy eyes I look up and cry
When will I be complete?
When will I be complete?
When will I be complete?

I've got a heart with a hole and nothing's fitting inside (I love you)
Our words bring so much remorse. Well, have you given up on me?
I just can't bite my tongue. Something's burning inside (I need you)
And it has anchored me down to the bottom of this blackened sea

I've got a heart with a hole and nothing's fitting inside (I love you)
Our words bring so much remorse. Well, have you given up on me?
I just can't bite my tongue. Something's burning inside (I need you)
And it has anchored me down to the bottom of this blackened sea

All that remains at the bottom are lies that I've told
Wash away my sins
With heavy eyes I look up and cry
I'll never be complete
I'll never be complete
I'll never be complete

I've got a heart with a hole and nothing's fitting inside (I love you)
Our words bring so much remorse. Well, have you given up on me?
I just can't bite my tongue. Something's burning inside (I need you)
And it has anchored me down to the bottom of this blackened sea

I've got a heart with a hole and nothing's fitting inside (I love you)
Our words bring so much remorse. Well, have you given up on me?
I just can't bite my tongue. Something's burning inside (I need you)
And it has anchored me down to the bottom of this blackened sea

I'm sorry to question myself
Was this all a waste of our time?
I'm trying to distance myself from these thoughts
But the despair consumes my mind
Well, I'm starting to question myself
I think of each time our hands intertwined
I try to remember back to the moments that made this
But still, there lies nothing

I've got a heart with a hole and nothing's fitting inside (I love you)
Our words bring so much remorse. Well, have you given up on me?
I just can't bite my tongue. Something's burning inside (I need you)
And it has anchored me down to the bottom of this blackened sea

I've got a heart with a hole and nothing's fitting inside (I love you)
Our words bring so much remorse. Well, have you given up on me?
I just can't bite my tongue. Something's burning inside (I need you)
And it has anchored me down I think it might just end up killing me


12. LAST CALL (INTERLUDE)

In my city, the bars stay open 'til 4 AM
It makes for real tired people
You see the bags under their eyes
But you should see what their hearts lug around
I get shit here and there
Over lines in the bathroom
Rain-soaked cigarettes
Everyone here is looking for something
But it isn't here where you find it
We can fill our nose, our lungs and livers
With bodies and bottles, and [?]
We're still winning
I see here and there
Over jokes and stolen kisses
Maybe it's just me, I can only see
My reflection in these bar-lit smirks
And un-engaged conversations
So dance disheveled to your car with your friend or lover
Either way, I walk in there alone
[?] in line
They seek shelter before the sunrise
When the only curtain left is around the nostril and the eyes
And we feel all the things we forgot for the night


13. REVISITING ROMANCE

Not enough
Lack of trust
Not enough
We've turned to dust
Looking back
I'm not sure we've tried

You'll still be comfort in the darkness of my dreams
And everything in-between
You'll still haunt my memories but a ghost is all that you'll be
A ghost is all that you'll be

Walking from your life, I've given my best and it wasn't enough
Walking out the door, I've given my comfort, can't give anymore

This is not where we were meant to be
We have lost ourselves, and these gray clouds are all that we see

And these gray clouds are all that we see
And these gray clouds are all that we see

You'll still be comfort in the darkness of my dreams
And everything in-between
You'll still haunt my memories but a ghost is all that you'll be
A ghost is all that you'll be

I gave you all that I had
Then tried to call it romance
I wrote a song, maybe two
I even named one for you
I tried to better myself
In your moments of doubt
But not a prayer came true
Not like they ever do

Walking from your life, I've given my best and it wasn't enough
Walking out the door, I've given my comfort, can't give anymore

I gave you all that I had
All that I had
That's what we call romance
That's what we call romance
I gave you all that I had
All that I had
