House 03:28
As the time goes by, I can't decide who you are. Who am I? I figured that we'd just get by. Cause I'm lying when I say that I love you. "Please don't start again, please don't start again", she said. And truth be told, it feels like my life's on hold. But I don't want to just let go. I don't want to run back home. I'd much rather take the life you stole. I'm tearing down this house we built, and you can't stop me. I'm tearing down these walls. Hey! I'm tearing down this house we built, and you can't stop me. I'm tearing down these walls. I'm beginning to wonder why I'm still standing next to you. I never wanted too. I love the way you lie. I'm so impressed by the way you try, so don't apologize. Wait! I'm only trying to find a way around being caught dead here with you right now. And I remember times you'd wait outside my door. I won't let you in. I have to let you know. And truth be told, it feels like my life's on hold. But I don't want to just let go. I don't want to run back home. I'd much rather take the life you stole. I'm tearing down this house we built, and you can't stop me. I'm tearing down these walls. Hey!

Her walls scream disaster, and I wouldn't put it past her to pull you in. My heart beats faster, and I know I'm not getting sleep tonight. The taste of your skin lingers in my head. She screams from my bed, she sits on my head. I can't even sleep when you're tangled with me. I like how you shake when you're wrapped in my sheets. I'm trying not to breathe, but I'm gasping and gaping at the seams. And you ask me, "What will it take for me to get inside your heart? I'll slither my way in and tear it apart." She sings to me, it's in my sleep, but you're not out here. I'm stuck here waiting. I've watched you slither out of every article of skin you wear, and my fingers sink so lightly. Between you and me, my fingers sink so lightly. She's on top of me. I never thought it'd be this way... Now I have a choice to make. (I can barely breathe while she's on top of me. This is my memory.) The cold sting of autumn is freezing me to you. I can't take it anymore. My lungs are so tired from contorting to amuse you. Lead me down again. I'm lost in my head. Dinner for one at the end of the night, in my bed. I am descending. x4 Everything we've put each other through, I swear I'd never fall in love with you, but I was wrong. So damn wrong. (I don't know what to say, you're so far away from me but I. Was. Wrong) Backseat of your car, I'll be going hard. She'll be sitting pretty, swear I had it in me. I was wrong. So damn wrong.

You left me burning, I'm turning into smoke At least you breathe me in, just let me in And my instincts telling me, that I'm suffering, that I'd be nothing without her. But at least you let me in, at least you let me in. Get high off me. Break me up and do whatever you please. Get high on you. Smoke you til you're ash, let the high ensue. Meet up at the park again. Walk around for hours, but we're only friends. I want to believe that you wouldn't leave when I rest my hand on your leg. Fast forward to the end of the evening. I can't breathe, but my hearts still beating. Oh. What will I do? I'm cynical, but you're damn you're predictable. You're clouding up my mind. She's lighting up her cigarette. I'm trying not to look so obvious, I know. Word's travel from the back of my lungs, but always fall short of the tip of my tongue. I'll slowly fade away. You kill me slowly. My heart is beating through my chest. I could tell by the look in your eyes, you were thinking about you and I. And she said to me, "I was only being honest." She said to me. Lie to me, I'm not listening. This went up in flames, and now I'm blowing out smoke rings. I know now there's better things to do. I want to tell you the truth. I'm growing quite tired of this lack of friction. I could care less what's fact or fiction. Tell me everything that you want me to do. I'll put you out if you want me to. Drifting away in my thoughts. I'm not listening nearly enough to pretend that I heard what you said. I'm not a part of anything. My instincts telling me, how high I'll be, when you're turning into smoke But at least I let you in, I let you in. She had me singing all night long. It feels so good to be this wrong. I'll try my best to hide my flaws. I'm filled with pure elation. And even though we're slightly sedated, a one night stand seems over-rated. I'll come again tomorrow. I'll come again tomorrow.

Let's start something we'll forget about tomorrow Everything that we've built, let it go LET IT GO! We got carried away, we got carried away We got carried away... I had a dream last night You said you lost your mind Woke up an hour ago Sand pouring down my throat And now I'm running away Thinking about everything (THE PAST IS THE PAST, WHAT'S DONE IS DONE) And if think your gonna find me then you're wrong (YOUR FACE WAS A MASK, IT FOOLED ME ONCE) Cause I know how you do To think that we could apologize But we're better off just dead Maybe we could break into my mind And erase all my wasted time Oh baby why cant you see You were a part of me I'm talking can you hear me Am I speaking clearly My words are so sarcastic I'm feeling quite fantastic Pressed up to the back door Can you feel the pressure I'm screaming for the record And I never would have suspected you I'm so tired of "She's not alone" cause She's lost within the opinions of everyone There's nothing wrong And our lives go on and on and on But maybe we could break into my mind And erase all my wasted time Oh baby why cant you see You were a part of me These words that I scream so carelessly Reflect a time when I felt some clarity Slowing down time is as pointless as breathing Fresh air in your lungs is dangerous to breath in This isn't what it seems Running from all my dreams Is this reality, or am I falling down They say that some people never learn Yeah I still want to watch you burn Watch you burn, watch you burn I want to watch you burn, watch you burn I want to watch you burn, watch you burn Watch you burn I need to be fixed where I'm broke The cracks just keep growing from the things that you spoke I think it's better not knowing of all that you did What I treasured most I will learn to forget I was living with a ghost Maybe we could break into my mind And erase all my wasted time Oh baby why cant you see You were a part of me I fell down across the room I'm still breathing and dreaming of you I'm dreaming of you What does this come to and who will I be? Don't you know you're a part of me You were a part of me

Dig down deep into your pockets Take out everything because I want it Don't trust strangers in dark lit places I swear its just a change of pace On my own, I'm walking alone Terribly lost, I'm just trying to get home You lurk in the shadows, we lock eye to eye You slowly approach me. Should I question why? You don't deserve this, I'm hurting. I've earned it. I've witnessed everything. I'm highly concerned that I'm deeper than I've ever been. One more step, and you'll be dead. You're turning me into stone. (Turning me into stone) You're turning me into stone. You'll justify anything to fulfill your agenda, leaving your conscious behind. Don't let it go to your head. Building empires instead of empathy for smaller things, no need to conquer everything. Your sanities being mislead Don't try to change my perception, you're in no position to I'll take you for a ride in my brand new car. It was yours before, but now its mine. Push you down again, cuz I wanted too. Give me malice, give me your piece of mind I'm inside talking daggers. My breathe as sharp as my wit I'm going after what you cling so tight to your hip "I'm not alone!" She screamed, reaching to her side She grabbed a knife and looked me straight into the eye I'm gonna walk away. And you'll do the same. Don't let it go to your head. Building empires instead of empathy for smaller things, no need to conquer everything. Your sanities being mislead

Concerned with everyday issues, and through it all, forgot to tell you I missed you. It's obvious, it's just my luck. Every little thing she said to me is easier said than done. Now that she's gone, it won't be long. You better run cause we know you can't hide. What a scene. It's a mess. An impressive red coat for the walls is what we needed here. How did you know? But this sight is god awful and sickening. They didn't take your wedding ring. I'll find you, I'll burn everything. Remember that night, I carried you back to our bed? Tonight, I'll bury you in the back of my head. I go out with a sinister look in my eyes. This time, I'm the hero in my own mind. I held my arms out and screamed to the world, "How could you kill the girl?" What goes around, comes around. I always knew I'd let you down, but when you're found, I'll cut your life short. (I know that ive just scratched the surface, ill prove to her that she was always worth it) Concerned with everyday issues, and through it all, forgot to tell you I missed you. It's obvious, it's just my luck. And every little thing she said to me is easier said than done. But now that she's gone, it won't be long. You better run cause we know you can't hide. You're telling me, you're telling me a secret. But I'd be lying if I said I could keep it. Tragedy brings out the ugly side of me. Whoa. The tip of my knife on the skin of your neck. I'll make you wish you were already dead. There's no sense in fighting. There's no point in screaming. It's just you and me, but only I'll be leaving. In and out, in and out, the deed has been done. As I watch it burn, I don't feel like I've won. I better run. I never thought it would be this easy. *whispers*So here we are. I'm staring at the mess I've made. There's nothing left to say. I hear the voices telling me I should go back to your grave. *Screams*Begging for distance, cause I am no different from you. So I know what to do. She's 6 feet beneath my feet, but I can't believe I'm the villain. Jeff: (I think about you before I fall asleep. But with eyes open, or with them closed, you meant the world to me. I can't think of anything better to do, but sit here daydreaming of you. I can't think of anything better to think of, to dream of, but you.) I'm a mess, you can see. The gun rests between my teeth. Begging me to release what's inside of me. I hold the trigger. Is this how I go? I don't stop pulling until it blows.
