Specter
Lyrics by: Chris
in the windows in the houses in this neighborhood
the TV glow is flickering like a sapphire fire
and the lights that people stake into their front lawns
are blocking out the moon up in the sky
and I'm counting all the mistakes I made
instead of sheep
making a conscious effort to
try to get to sleep
But the ghost of your perfume still dwells upon my pillow
and the icy frigid dead air comes wandering through my window
I tell myself to remember to forget you in the morning
And eventualy I drift off to sleep
Are you still counting and naming the stars
are you still carving new scars
into your arms
and are you still destroying everyone's heart with your charms
I drempt of you again
I drempt you took my hand
and said
"Everything is ok it's a brand new beautiful day."
when I woke up it was pouring rain
and I couldn't fall asleep again
please let me sleep
even if it's just an hour more
i don't want to be awake right now
i don't want to think right now
I want to fade away
how am I ever going to make it through these days now
how am I ever going to get up in the mornings
how can I ever bring myself to go on doing all the things I used to do
how often must I be haunted by you

You Can't Count On Me
Lyrics by:Chris
Mary was from Maryland
and she told me about the movies that played inside her dreams
and she wanted to get out of New Jersey
she wanted the sun in Bahamas
she wanted a clear blue sea
she kept a photo in her wallet
it was of the setting sun
she lived in Blackwood with her father
he used to beat her up for fun
and I told her not to worry
that some day all her dreams would come true
and she smiled and her eyes burned
Mary, I wish I hadn't lied to you
I knew a kid named Michael
his face was pale and thin
when he was fifteen we found him on the bathroom floor
he'd drowned in heroin
and he once told me he grew up in California
though he couldn't remember what it looked like
he lived in San Diego
wanted to be burried on the Black Horse Pike
I hope I can get out of this town
before the year winds down
from the graveyards
you can hear me sing:
Always remember You can't count on me for anything
I fell in love with a girl named Erin
and she had sad-shaped eyes
her lips were rough and resigned
she talked about how wonderfull it would be to die
and she said the most beautiful thing
was that one day all matter would collapse
and the world would swallow up itself
and that nothing would ever last
So I packed my bags and I didn't say goodbye
I want to drive off into the dark blue sky, evermore
and don't forget that you can't count on me
for anything anymore

Masquerade
Lyrics by: Chris
Looking in the mirror
I am no nearer
Than eight hundred million miles away
And as for the reflection
I don't have the slightest recolection
Tell me: who am I going to be today?
Should I be laughing or should I be crying
Should I smile so much it makes everyone feel uncomfortable
Should I be manic, running and screaming
or should I make an attempt to be stable?
What am I feeling? How should I feel?
should I be full of shit or make an attempt to be real?
How should I act and just what should I say
Tell me: who am I going to be today?
Should I just tell you what you want to hear
The reflection doesn't get closer even as I draw near
I don't know who I am, I need someones advice
should I scream obscenities in front of children or should I try and be nice
Should I tell you I love you or keep those feelings at-bay
Tell me: who am I going to be today?
Brand New Avenue
Lyrics by: Chris
All the street-lamps acted as our spotlights
They lit us so the audience could see
We would laugh
and we'd cry
and I swear that for a moment
we could fly
And nothing else ever really mattered to me
Now things seem to be winding down
And we've been staying close to the ground
All of us seem to be playing pretend
I wanna see nights that are shinning like stars
I want to get back in the air again
And people would always laugh at us
Tell us that we were insane
Said that we should go do something new with our lives
Yet at the same time they stayed the same
But now things are so slow
And the nights are too cold
And I haven't laughed in so long
Tonight I don't want to go home
Sit there all alone
And spend another night getting old
spend another night accepting the change
I want to get outside
to laugh and feel alive
I want to get back in the air again

Lover Made Of Porcelain
Lyrics by:Chris
She was the damsel in distress
in a room filled up with heroes
she wore glitter on her dress
and in her hands she held a rose
and you swore that you'd protect her
from all the monsters in the world
but in the end you just destroyed her
in the end you shattered the girl
Tell yourself that this never happened
Tell yourself that it's all gonna be ok
Tell yourself you’re better off this way
Tell yourself nothing but lies
Drill the memories of her from your head
Wash all the happiness she brought you out
You tell yourself that you'd be better of dead
You're love is gone, there’s nothing left but doubt
and you scream
Why
can't I
Die(x3)
You never realized what it all ment to you
You never realized how stupid you were
You would've never have done the things you do
If you knew how much it would ruin her
Tell yourself it never happened (x4)
Tell yourslef nothing but the truth
Why
can't I
Die (x9)
All the beautiful memories of her now deceased(x6)
Why
can't I
Die
