She was an angry girl at 18
Always rolling down her sleeves
To hide the cuts, but she don't know
That everyone can see them
She locks herself in her room
To avoid all the doom
Her parents bring home to her
Each and every night
Will anyone notice, will anyone care?
If she is gone, then who will stare?
When there is nobody to cause a scare
When they find her in the evening
Hanging from her bedroom ceiling
Will they laugh, or will they be grieving?
Stepping out, only at night
The look she gives will cause a fright
But she'll make sure there's nobody in sight
Dressed in black from head to toe
Nobody wonders where she goes
And they don't care enough to know
I tried to tell her i'd be there
(She tried to tell me she needs somebody there for her)
I tried to tell her i'd care
(I thought I could be that someone for once)
But I'd never live up to that
If you ever see her again
Tell her that i was her friend
And I'm so sorry her life had to end

Glass Bones

It was warm the day before
But now the cold hacks through me
Like a dull axe cuts through pine
Slow and unrelenting
This thick skin is thinning fast
Like the ice I'm treading
Water chills me to my bones
And shatters me to bits of broken glass
The sun is setting pretty soon
And we can talk the night away
Your warm eyes coax me to your room
Who needs a cold heart anyway?
It was warm the night before
When you still spoke to me
Tangled up inside my head
Trapped by harsh resentment
Your facade is fading fast
And the fever's breaking
Promises and last requests
Mean nothing to the queen of broken glass
The sun is setting pretty soon
And I can waste the night away
Your warm eyes coax me to your room
Who needs a cold heart anyway?
And I'm begging
You to let the fire burn out
Your light's fading
And I pray I'll never see you again
The sun is setting pretty soon
And I can waste my life away
Your warm eyes lure me to my doom
Who needs a cold heart anyway?

Guilt

Wasting my time thinking everything's fine
We're about to go through hell and back now
(You never knew the pain was killing me)
Become exhausted with the thought of feeling
That my happiness is gonna be short lived
(Put on a smile and treat the wounds)
Painting pictures in my head will only bring me pain
(And I deserve it, I guess)
Trying harder to forget all of the guilt I've gained
(And trust I've lost)
Try to forget all my stupid mistakes
These last few years have caused me to break
(It's been a series of nightmares and daydreams)
Never enough distractions to help me
Remember when i was so proud of myself
(To ease the pain I'm living through)

Can't believe there's a curse upon this town
I've hid from shadows once or twice
They're popping up like graves
And spreading sickness like the plague
Say goodbye to your loved ones while you can
By morning there'll be hell to pay
A penny for your thoughts
And two more for the ferryman
I felt the world stop turning
I watch the sky is burning
And all the while I'm learning
Everything is better without you
Cast me out like a star fell from the clouds
I've cast some shadows once or twice
I've made my own mistakes
I live and die with every shame
Took awhile to get where I am today
I've never wanted something less
I've lost my will to live
And everything that came with it
Never want to say goodbye
But someone has to say goodbye (Everything is better without you)
Goodbye isn't the end it's the beginning (Everything is better without you)
Everything is better without you

Not Where I Belong

I think it's about time that you all abandoned me
It's been awhile since I've lost a friend, you see
These scars tell a tale of someone I'd rather be
My regrets will be the catalyst to my story
Don't bring me down, I do it fine myself
I cough up blood, and choke on words unsaid
In another time, in another place
Maybe there's another chance for me
That I could save me this time
This time's up to me
I feel better, today, than I did, yesterday
Talk to me, you'll find I have nothing good to say
In between everything is where I'd rather stay
Forget my life, because it's in shambles, anyway
Making due, without you (I'll remain closed off)
I'll remain closed off, in my tomb (I can't find the time)
I'm making due, without you (I'll remain closed off)
I'll remain closed off (In my tomb)
Don't bring me down
I cough up blood
There's no other time, there's no other place
Maybe there's no other chance for me
I can't save me this time

She sits alone, screaming in silence,
At all the promises best left unkept.
It's better this way, she tells herself,
Drowning her demons, she cleans off her shelves,
Empty to empty, she packed up and left,
No turning back.
She minces words, dying inside her,
At all the questions best left unasked.
She feels so much pain, but she hides it well,
Thinking in circles, her circle of hell,
Keeps getting smaller than it was yesterday.
'Maybe I'm not coming home,
It's better this way,' she tells herself,
Convincing herself more than anyone.
'Maybe, I'm not coming home,
To you or to anyone else.'
Pick up the phone, I know you can hear me,
You leave all my letters unread.
I dreamt of you fading, there dead in my arms,
Begging for answers, and covered in scars,
I'd help you to find them, I wish you'd have said.
'Maybe I'm not coming home,
It's better this way,' she tells herself,
Convincing herself more than anyone.
'Maybe, I'm not coming home,
To you or to anyone else.'
I want to see you.
I want to hear you.
(Hear that you're doing just fine.)
I want to feel you.
I want you. I want you.
Maybe I'm not coming home,
'It's better this way,' I tell myself,
Convincing myself more than anyone else.
'Maybe, I'm not coming home,
To you, or to anyone else.'
