Hard to picture you with me When past regrets are all I see But if I don’t know hate then I won’t know disgust And if I can’t find peace then I won’t know love But If I didn't care, then I wouldn't stay I'd be taking my place in the crowd If I didn't care, then I wouldn't stay I might bury your face too far down And close the door on affection Forget you for my protection If I didn't care, then I wouldn't stay I'd be taking my place in the crowd Make a list of your episodes All the casual encounters that you’ve had Skin on skin I don’t want to know It’ll hit me like a bullet in the back But if I don’t know hate then I won’t know disgust And if I can’t find peace then I won’t know love But If I didn't care, then I wouldn't stay I'd be taking my place in the crowd If I didn't care, then I wouldn't stay I might bury your face too far down And close the door on affection Forget you for my protection If I didn't care, then I wouldn't stay I'd be taking my place in the crowd I had a dream I was broken down at your place Your hands were clean, so you wiped the dirt from my face But if I didn’t care

Please, I’m on a roll Tried to get me to happier But how could I know If my happiness was the right size I will go California might treat us right If we ever show, if we ever show Pray I’m making you proud I’ll keep working it out Lost my place, stop pulling me apart I wanna fix it but I don’t even know where to start All this time I need now Why can’t the day just slow down Oh it’s not enough, It’s not enough to breath I can’t afford to give you anymore of me, no Pray I’m making you proud I’ll keep working it out Lost my place, stop pulling me apart I wanna fix it but I don’t even know where to start Pray I’m making you proud I’ll keep working it out Lost my place, stop pulling me apart I wanna fix it but I don’t even know where to start

Speak if you want But say it as if you were dining alone Cut from your tongue Make it seem real like you feel it in your bones With all that you spew Make sure youre saying something Or stick to the truth Like being honest gets you off Martyrs are gone, martyrs are hard to find Don’t open your mouth if you cant cross the line I want to be strong; I want to be good this time I want to try to make it better now Telling Stories Does it make you happy? Oh you fooled me Don’t think that’s a good idea Sing if you want Let it all out like you want to be free Act like you’ve won And everyone else is just swimming in a sea Of cold apathy and lazy scribes Martyrs are gone, martyrs are hard to find Don’t open your mouth if you cant cross the line I want to be strong; I want to be loud this time I want to try, so you can hear me know Telling Stories Does it make you happy? Oh you fooled me Don’t think that’s a good idea For you to pawn yourself off or Sell your soul until you get caught With nothing else and no one but yourself All and all you’ve had your fun Wash it off when the day is done All and all you’ve had your fun Martyrs are gone, Martyrs are hard to find Don’t open you mouth if you can’t cross the line Martyrs are gone, Martyrs are hard to find Telling Stories Does it make you happy? Oh you fooled me Don’t think that’s a good idea For you to pawn yourself off or Sell your soul until you get caught With nothing else and no one but yourself

What if my thoughts aren’t real Chemically bound to progress and Maybe I don’t know how to feel What if my words aren’t mine Stolen from books and street signs I never learned how to slow or yield What is an honest life Something that wasn’t chosen or Maybe Im just to tired to fight Hoping it’s worth the wait Hoping our passion lifts us up Okay, Well okay, Im okay I guess. Always chasing after empty glory I need to have my own story I want to have my own life I was living by numbers And waiting for summer To take me from you What a waste Now I walk liberated A child that hated The work that we choose Everyday The way you pushed us out The way you conquer now The way your voice resounds The way we all fall down Time, don’t confirm my doubts Now, good ghost on my couch Stay here for a little while, I’ll Breathe in as you sit beside Now I’ll show you what I’ve found
