A wise man once told me...
Never take advice from your parents
They want you all to themselves
You'll never live up to expectations
Never take advice from your siblings
The competition never ends
Never take advice from a stranger who isn't me
They can't commit to your well-being
Chorus:
As I watched the world crumble I knew exactly what he meant
But then all I could feel was sadness when I was left standing
Never take advice from your friends
Their place in life is all too temporary
Or from your partner
They will always leave in the end
Or from your boss
He owns your soul already anyway
But most importantly...
Never listen to yourself
The heart is often too confused to decide what it wants
Chorus
Bridge:
I've lost my way
No compass to be found
All directions are blurred
I've lost my way
No compass to be found
Even in desert sands I drown
Chorus

If you spoke in segments
I'd cut you up to let you regrow
For you’ve been a burden
I'd cut off my own arms to let you go
Chorus:
Like the first day of rehab makes one feel clean
Years away you still infest my dreams
Like the methadone drip brings it all back
I still recall our crash
It's fitting you’re shaped like an hourglass
Every moment with you is just a countdown
Many a good man have died in your arms, and I among the finest
Accumulating souls to compensate for your spinelessness
Chorus
You are the kind of hallucinogen that keeps a desperate man wandering by the railroad
As 60 miles per hour of eternal bliss dance with me on the tracks
The horn is no match for my last second scream
It's just a shame that the drugs always wear off before the climax
You are the hometown star you've always wanted to be
Eclipsed by night and sewn onto me
...just like an hourglass
...every moment with you is just a countdown
I'll be a structure when you’re toppling over
The white flag for your surrender
Chorus
When the morning comes, who am I kidding?
I still awake feverish and shaking

I know you're going to suck me dry
Until there is nothing left
Until my skins and bones are dust and regret
What could turn such an angel into such a harlot?
Why would you want to flush it all away?
Every day is the same
A year long struggle
To feast on my will and self-esteem
Oh great deceiver...
And that mask you wear
You won't stop until I'm as hollow as you
Pre-Chorus:
First I'm a slave to the spiral
Then a slave to the fall
Then I'm a slave to you and
And now I’m a slave to it all
Chorus:
How could I be so weak as to let you walk over me?
You won't stop until all sense of self has been destroyed
No more will I be a victim
It's time to find another puppet
Only I have the power
You wouldn't dare set me free would you?
Now my callous is nice and thick
And there isn't a thing in the world that I can't face...
As long as it's anything but you
The creakiness of classic wood
Sounds from the major motion picture
What could turn such a lioness into such a coward?
Do unto others as they do unto you
Every year is the same
A life long struggle
With no possibility of parole
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Come on down now baby
Come on down now with me
Come on down now baby
Let me take you down
Come on down now baby
Let me watch you sink
Come on down now baby
Down to the bottom of the sea
Come on down now baby
Come on down now with me
Come on down now baby
Let me take you down
Come on down now baby
Let me watch you sink
Let's get digested in the belly of the beast
You just need all of me, don't you?
The tyranny is over!
Domestic revolutionaries rejoice!
I'll be right here waiting...

Forgive her lord for she knows not what she does
But more so for what she's done
I'd rather your rays of vengeance channel through me
May she never again lay her head for sleep
And when her mind
Is too heavy to refrain from rest
May what's left of her heart
Explode within her chest
Forgive us lord for we have sinned
The passion remains but not within
Your little weak one, led into the wild
Innocence stricken, I was but a child
May she suffer
Until her final breath
Only then
May she finally get some rest
Until her final breath
Forgive me lord for I did what I had to do
I know when I open my eyes I won't be seeing you
As we watch each other burn
Limb by limb, strand by strand
We'll be together
Just like we'd always planned
As we watch each other burn...

Dance across my pupils
Like you're dancing across my grave
Run down your path like you have some soul left to save
Take another stroll, walking hand in hand
It's addition by division, you'll never understand
Chorus:
Don't you think you sound a little pretentious?
Don't you speak a little high and mighty?
Your heart's been worn down, ragged and raw
Your time is up, too late to turn this thing around
Oh and don't it taste so good?
A new flavor every hour
Run down your path like you have some soul left to save
Find another hole, digging through and through
Your tunnel's caving in, you'll never learn to move
Your ship is sinking
But you just think you're swimming
It doesn't matter as long as you think you're winning
Swallow another load to keep your head from spinning
Chorus
Turn this thing around
