Album: They're Only Chasing Safety [2004]
| Young and Aspiring | |

so let's not even try to read
let's bottle it up let's throw it out the window
it's becoming all so clear in my mind
i've thought this thing through more than once or twice
i feel
that this is my last
request to you
hold your breath
bottle it up and save it for the next one
it's safe to say we've been writing this all night
and none of this would ever change your mind
it's never safe to rely on borrowed time
now we're both wounded
i pray this day to open up our eyes
consequence
it's our need
in times like these, feeling free
it's our modern disease
you're a cry for disaster
with a knack for losing your exterior
i'm so sick
from staring at the mirror
this all, needs, a break from you
and i, am used to this...
i fear that i am just an end
so you play the mistaken, and i'll play the victim in our screen play of desire
and i'm still writing the letters i'll never send
running in circles
i can't forget how many times
i've played this in my mind
feeling free, feeling free
consequence
it's our need
in times like these, feeling free
it's our modern desease
you're a cry for disaster
with a knack for losing your exterior
i'm so sick
from staring at the mirror...
this is my panic
this is my call to arms
this is my panic
this is my call to arms

Prop open the door I can actually see my breath tonight
But that doesn't mean I'm breathing
Crack a smile just for the sake of it
This could take a while
A long while
Silence is golden especially in this case
I'm not too sure that I want it to be this way
Open mouth closed eyes
No words are escaping
It's all a blur
It's too dark to see
Ain't it pretty the way it all streaks together at night
I think its time to turn around
I really want to go home tonight
I feel like this is going nowhere
Try to think of something quick
And trust the direction of the driver
No lights
No signs
I'm at a loss for words
Now conversation sparks
What an easy way to break the ice

| Reinventing Your Exit | |
|
It’s twelfth and Hyde on a Sunday
Feeling like we've grown
And we’re nothing short of invincible (invincible, invincible)
It starts again can you feel it?
It takes your breath away
Stop saying that we’re invincible
This round and round
Your uninviting unrewarding
And I'm misinforming you, misinforming you
We all want to be (Want to be somebody)
Right now we’re just looking for the exit
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall Up against the wall
You got me up against your wall
X2
It’s you and me on a Monday
The lies that we told
This is where we both go numb now
You broke my heart again this time,
You're fading now you crossed the line
You crossed the line
We all want to be (Want to be somebody)
Right now we’re just looking for the exit
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall Up against the wall
You got me up against your wall
X2
Reaching out for a hand that’s not there
But you're not here
But you're not
This is the way I would have done this
Up against the wall up against your wall
This is the way we should have done
When we're up against a wall
(Up against a wall)
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall, Up against the wall
You got me up against your wall
X2

UNDEROATH - It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Doo
a KILLER song
It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door
I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep
I've prayed for your safe place
And its time for us to leave
Time is running on empty and the gas is running out
I've decided that tonight is the night
That I set love aside
Full speed ahead this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So kiss me one last time
Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all gather
To remember such a day where the flames grew as high
As trees
And the world stopped for you and me
My knuckles have turned white
There's no turning back tonight
So hold on tight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes
I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here
Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep
Glass shatters and comes to a halt
I thought we'd be there by now
I thought it would be so much quicker than this
Pain has never been so brilliant
I made sure you were buckled in
Now you can walk hand in hand with him
|
| Down, Set, Go | |
|
I had the whole world in my hands
And I gave it away
I'm a half-wit boy
Cracking a smile and wearing it all on my sleeve
So cool and so poised
Its true I'm just around to see
Where this thing goes I'll never know
But all I know is packing bags is a remedy
This time I'll be nervous
Cause I can't see your hands in front of me tonight
Lets forget all pretense of what they thought we should be
What liars we can be
I'm on my way to the top of the world
And I've got a feeling I'll give it away
She's a maverick she's so smooth
If things go according to plan
I'll have her finished by five a.m.
There's no changing plans
There's no second chance
I've already got both feet through the door
And I can taste the air
Make a sound it's safe for you
To choke in here alone
Whatever I say goes
You're not here with me
|
| I'm Content With Losing | |
|
Like I said
Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always pulling into places that we can't back out of
Starting fights we can't talk our way out of them
How does it feel to be on the recieving end of this one?
I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down
I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried
Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try just one more time
This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?
I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down
You cant see past my waving hands
just running away again
You think so loud it hurts my ears...
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking up
I can't feel you
You're so far from me
I'm half way there and it's all on me

| Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape | |
|
I heard a voice through the discord
A deluge of passersby
I saw one gaze frozen in time
Watching me passing by
I swear I'll know your face in the crowd
And I'll hear your voice so loud
When you're whispering
Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another
Here's my kiss to betray
Desperate to brush the lips of grace
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I lied?
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another
Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey unloving
I will love you
And will love you
Jesus I'm ready to come home
I'm ready to come
Jesus I'm ready to come home
Unfaithful
Ungraceful
And unloving
I will love you
