<p>When the moon reflects your eyes and our actions lead to silence</p>
<p>Could this pain be any sweeter?</p>
<p>In the absence of your shine, I'm as dull as any non believer</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Out of turn, I’ve learned so much about you. I was blind </p>
<p>There’s a term, for distorted perception.. it slips my mind</p>
<p> </p>
<p>CHORUS:</p>
<p>Hands down, you were all in nearly half the time</p>
<p>You retreated... with the night</p>
<p>Hold on, if we could... hold out to the morning hours</p>
<p>But the truth hurts in daylight</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are you only a deceiver?</p>
<p>When your words belie your eyes, and your body tells another story</p>
<p>It's not getting any clearer. The excuse you have back home, says he loves you. Does he love you?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>CHORUS: </p>
<p>Hands down, you were all in nearly half the time </p>
<p>You retreated... with the night </p>
<p>Hold on, if we could... hold out to the morning hours </p>
<p>But the truth hurts in daylight</p>

<p>Lead on.. we've only a second</p>
<p>Fear for love?</p>
<p>I bleed for love</p>
<p>Breathe for love?</p>
<p>I grieve for love</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So play on..</p>
<p>I see you every day</p>
<p>Put on</p>
<p>Teasing all the unseen ghosts in my head</p>
<p>Do you want to try me love?</p>
<p>Just set it up</p>
<p>I'll see you in the unkempt sheets of my bed</p>

<p>Fear... I feel it every second</p>
<p>I long..</p>
<p>You use it as a weapon </p>
<p>Bleed for love..</p>
<p>Naive in love...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cry on..</p>
<p>The feeling comes in waves</p>
<p>Undone..</p>
<p>Cradling all the secrets that go unsaid</p>
<p>An intricate ballet</p>
<p>Float on..</p>
<p> Humbling and obscene darling</p>
<p>Play on.. </p>
<p>I see you every day </p>
<p>Put on .. </p>

<p>You were a taboo so delicate, my only one</p>

<p> </p>
<p>You never wanted to hear the rules that they prescribed</p>

<p>And while you'll get along without her</p>
<p>She's still the first thing on your mind</p>
<p> </p>
<p>20 days without her comforts</p>
<p>Without her breathing by your side</p>
<p>And though alone your free to wander</p>
<p>You're so alone you're bound and tied</p>

<p>20 days you've been without her</p>
<p>And while she barely said goodbye</p>
<p>And though you knew you couldn't hold her</p>
<p>Can never blame a guy for trying</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 20 ways you fed her hunger</p>
<p>Until your novelty expired</p>
<p>Although she left you torn asunder</p>
<p>Still you're grateful for the time.. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cause she goes on.. She goes</p>
<p>She goes on.. She goes on </p>

<p>A message from your private side</p>
<p>Heaven knows I'm meant to be alone tonight</p>
<p>Although I missed the reasons why</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not allowed to see the surface</p>
<p>They walled it off with me inside</p>
<p>I'm not around for you to hypnotize</p>
<p>All in all, I'm alone, I get by</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chorus:</p>
<p>Dyin' for ya</p>
<p>We're so self defeating</p>
<p>I am, are you?</p>
<p>Gonna solve this aching?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dyin' for ya </p>
<p>We're so self defeating </p>
<p>I am, are you? </p>
<p>Gonna solve this aching?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know you see through this disguise </p>
<p>Maybe you want it deep inside?</p>
<p>Don't know why I'm asking</p>
<p>Never meant to raise such feelings</p>
<p>I never fail to see the signs</p>
<p> </p>

<p>You people are mistaken</p>
<p>If your love burns hotter</p>
<p>Then all the world is faking</p>
<p>For a love to fade</p>
<p>Such a lonely high</p>
<p>I'll see you on your way</p>
<p>A song before we die</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bind my hands</p>
<p>I feel dead inside</p>
<p>Demon's eyes</p>
<p>A fear of the night</p>
<p>Take my pride</p>
<p>Throw it on the pyre</p>
<p>Blinded by a love I can't describe</p>
<p> </p>
<p>CHORUS:</p>
<p>I will always be the precious thorn in your side</p>
<p>I will never live a righteous or a pious life</p>
<p>I will always be a phantom in the public eye</p>
<p>I will never see your figure in the morning light</p>
<p>I will always seek the answers that we couldn't find</p>
<p>I will always be suspicious of the daily grind</p>

<p>Turn to your before, going over and over tomorrow</p>
<p>Time to analyze, is it worth it here at all?</p>

<p>How many others have sought</p>
<p>All the promises they're making?</p>
<p>A seed that's planted in chaff, is a heartless bounty</p>

<p>You spend your life..</p>
<p>In those twisted spires</p>

<p>How many crimes did you observe yourself?</p>

<p>You think your poison is working</p>
<p>But I won't descend</p>
<p>Your lies are just the cries of something alien</p>

<p>You think you'll draw back the curtain</p>
<p>And lure me in..</p>
<p>The hounds of your temptation, they're howling again</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You're gasping while I'm submerging</p>
<p>You're holding me in</p>
<p>Your laughter is a mercy that I can't defend</p>

<p>We're lovers and friends</p>

<p>You've got your rings around my neck </p>
<p>Leaves me raw </p>
<p>Hold on.. don't swallow </p>
<p>Want to remember you like that </p>
<p>Cut from stone </p>
<p>How wrong.. your power </p>
<p>You've got me choking on my words </p>
<p>When you smiled </p>
<p>I would understand if I were a weaker man </p>
<p>I could understand if I were a weaker man </p>
<p>CHORUS: </p>
<p>I couldn't hear nothing </p>
<p>I couldn't breath </p>
<p>I couldn't say nothing </p>
<p>I couldn't leave </p>
<p>Lead on.. I'll follow </p>
<p>So many things that I can't touch </p>
<p>And you're one </p>
<p>Hold on.. I'm hollow </p>
<p>I don't remember last I felt </p>
<p>This far gone </p>
<p>How wrong.. your power </p>
<p>You've had me choking on my words </p>
<p>All along </p>

<p>All of the flowers have decayed </p>
<p>The wilting petals forming circles in the snow </p>
<p>In retrospect I see the mess we’ve made </p>
<p>I’m only broken on the surface </p>
<p>Inside I shine infallibly </p>
<p>Each time I find myself exposed to all the frozen hell </p>
<p>I question all the choices that I’ve made </p>
<p>Chorus: </p>
<p>You don’t electrify </p>
<p>We’ve run aground </p>
<p>Leave me with one black eye </p>
<p>I’m lost and found </p>
<p>I’m only damaged till I’m perfect </p>
<p>I’m always pleasant company </p>
<p>Unlike the countless nights you made the rules then picked a fight </p>
<p>I find the exit when it’s time to leave </p>
<p>Chorus: </p>
<p>You don’t electrify </p>
<p>You’ve lost the sound </p>
<p>Leave me with one black eye </p>
<p>I won’t come round </p>
<p>You don’t electrify </p>
<p>We’ve run aground </p>
<p>Leave me with one black eye </p>
<p>I’m lost and found</p>Vacant Windowstag:www.vacantwindowsband.com,2005:Post/49531232017-11-28T18:18:35-05:002017-11-28T18:18:35-05:00Summertime<p>Tried enough you pressed your luck you stood for nothing for such a long time <br>Got fed up and called his bluff you broke it off you're falling apart <br>So now your playing like you shrug it off, an easy fable until the night time <br>The little stuff, you miss the touch, you're choking up <br>you're breaking up and making up and breaking up and on and on and on.. </p>
<p>Chorus: <br>You never thought you would regret it <br>But now you're lonely in the Summertime <br>He never said that much about it <br>But now you're nothing in your lover's eyes </p>
<p>If I were the love and you were falling.....y'know <br>If I had the chance to risk it all <br>If love was in bloom, Springtime <br>I'd still be around, come Fall </p>
<p>Chorus: <br>You never thought you would regret it <br>But now you're lonely in the Summertime <br>He never said that much about it <br>But now you're nothing in your lover's eyes</p>Vacant Windows
