When Your Heart Stops Beating
Album - 13 novembre 2006 - Debaser id 367236

I wake up at the end of a long, dark, lonely year
It's bringing out the worst in me
I hear your voice start breaking in fear
When the lights go down

And I still feel you looking over my shoulder
Your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare
And I know none of us will survive
Because I know everything

Alright

And my dear I need you to move a little faster
This second counts as the rest of your life
Your final word and an itchy finger
And then it's taken away

And we'll be beaten down without mercy or meaning
I turn my face to a careless skyline
I'm searching hard for a sign from heaven
But they've forgotten me here

You can just stop talking, I get it
I hear your silence loud and clear
I know it's barely a thought but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
Just let it happen, no need to fear
Yeah you can just stop talking, I get it

Sex, fuck, and fluorescent lighting
A hollow point on an angry bullet
We're on the teeth of a crocodile
We're in the mouth of the gun

And sometimes at night I feel I'm just a broken vessel
An instrument with a darker purpose
I'm at the throat of the young and the helpless
Because they've got nothing to say

So you can just stop talking, I get it
I hear your silence loud and clear
I know it's barely a thought but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
Just let it happen, no need to fear
Yeah you can just stop talking, I get it.

She's a pretty girl
She's always falling down
And I think I just fell in love with her
But she won't ever remember, remember

And I can always find her
At the bottom of a plastic cup
Drowning in drank sincerity
A sad and lonely girl

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out
And baby, come on
Is there just something familiar about me ?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out, baby

And she said:
I think we're running out
Tonight I hate this fucking town
And all my best friends will be the death of me
But they wont ever remember, remember

So please take me far away
Before I melt into the ground
And all my words get used against me
You sad and lonely girl

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out
And baby, come on
Is there just something familiar about me ?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out, baby

Quit crying your eyes out

Quit crying your eyes out
And baby, come on
Is there just something familiar about me ?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out
Is there just something familiar about me ?
Quit crying your eyes out
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out, baby.

Turn it up I wanna go home
I wanna be part of your breakdown
She got caught by the four on the floor
I picked her up
And she'll never get let down

And now I can't stop
Thinking about it
All you people at the top
Don't know nothing about it

We don't give a fuck what the price is
So just leave us to our own devices
And we'll leave you alone

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away
When we both get carried away

She says it all without a thought in her head
She says it all as she's pressed up against me
A little something just to take off the edge
A little more and I'll fall off the planet entirely

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away
When we both get carried away

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away

When we both get carried away
When we both get carried away
I'll be there when your heart stops beating
When we both get carried away
In the dark when there's no one listening
When we both get carried away.

Please sleep, my darling, sleep
Your cry for inspiration
Never reaches ears on distant stars
And every night our lonely planet
Slides across the universe
And I won't pretend I understand

Please sleep, my darling, sleep
Your death by information
Won't disturb the peace on distant stars
And even when you lock the doors
And slide behind the unlit shades
None of us are strangers anymore

Fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me with the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

Please, sleep my darling, sleep
Your car crash in slow motion
Won't upset the pace on distant stars
And one by one the years of our lives
Stumble as the moments pass
So please hold on, so please hold on

So fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me with the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

Please, sleep my darling, sleep
Please, sleep my darling, sleep

So fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me with the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

Love
This is getting harder
And I can't seem to pick you out of the crowd
But you my dear
Have been discovered a liar (a liar)
And I'm afraid that this is building up for far too long (far too long)

And this is not the time or place for us to speak like this
Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water

In a different time or place the words could make more sense
In a perfect world the future wouldn't make a dent
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water

Even though it's the last time

Love
This is getting the best of me
And truth be told, you were the start of it all
Now you my dear might end up lonely (lonely)
Before you go there's something you should know (You should know)

And this is not the time or place for us to speak like this
Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water

In a different time or place the words could make more sense
In a perfect world the future wouldn't make a dent
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water

Even though it's the last time.

This is not the time or place for us to speak like this
Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water

In a different time or place the words could make more sense
In a perfect world the future wouldn't make a dent
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water

Please, let's not speak, don't breathe a word
Even though it's the last time

Please, let's not speak, don't breathe a word
Even though it's the last time

The place I used to live, made me feel like a tourist
I couldn't coexist with the cold and suspicious
When the last remaining left was starting to filter
It seemed the perfect time to step into the future

Your heart is no grave to be perfectly honest
Your mouth's a smoking gun
And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach
Until everything is gone
Take all you can from me
I've got weak constitution
I'm led so easily
So easily

I left it all behind, in the dead of last winter
I left it all behind, but the question still lingers
So long forgotten friends, no, you don't know the difference
Between love and submission, and I'm not that obedient

Your heart is no grave, to be perfectly honest
Your mouth's a smoking gun
And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach
Until everything is gone
Take all you can from me
I've got weak constitution
I'm led so easily
So easily

And she's trying to sleep it off
With her head on my shoulder
And I'm trying to keep it out
Of my thoughts when I hold her (Take all you can from me)
And I'm trying to sleep it off
With her head on my shoulder (I'm led so easily)
And I'm trying to figure out
Of my thoughts when I hold her

Your heart isn't a grave, to be perfectly honest
Your mouth's a smoking gun
And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach
Until everything is gone
Take all you can from me
I've got weak constitution
I'm led so easily
So easily

Hey silly girl I think I got a thing for you
From late nights spent driving in this stolen car
The years we wasted living in this desert town haven't broken us
so far

Hot afternoons we climbed onto the neighbor's house
Breathed deep and jumped into a waiting sky
Our bare feet were framed on the horizon
I felt the future in your eyes

It was the promise of summer
We sealed it with a kiss
This time I'll do things proper
How did it get to this?

Dear you tonight let's get ahead of ourselves
Because now I barely can remember
Yesterday streched on for so long
Tomorrow feels like forever

My God you know how much I needed this
These days are filled with such disaster
Sometimes I think that life will never be the same
Sometimes I think that's the answer

And she said
Here comes the promise of summer
Let's seal it with a kiss
This time I'll do things proper
How did we get to this?

So you think you've been through it all
But I can't help but wonder now
Yesterday I found my worst regret
I'll hide it away so no one ever knows

I'm dying...
I'm trying to leave

Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on
Every now and then I feel the end of us

I never meant to say I'm sorry
And I'm not sad to see you go away
Where human shapes burned on concrete walls
These days the sun don't shine here anymore

I'm dying...
(I find it motivating to see your troubles drowning)
I'm trying to leave
(It's such a shame to feel I'm drifting)

Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on
Every now and then I feel the end of us
I love the way you breathe inside my head
But something's gotta change, I'm barely holding on

Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on
Every now and then I feel the end of us
I love the way you breathe inside my head
But something's gotta change, I'm barely holding on
Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on
(I find it motivating to see your troubles drowning)
Every now and then I feel the end of us
(It's such a shame to feel I'm drifting)
I love the way you breathe inside my head
(I find it motivating to see your troubles drowning)
But something's gotta change, I'm barely holding on
(It's such a shame to feel I'm drifting)

I'm barely holding on
I'm barely holding on

The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the sun shining in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the freeway

The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear with your voice ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you, you're always so far away

The first time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the smoke getting in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the DJ

The first time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear with the noise ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you, you're always so far away

I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while

The next time I see you, you'll turn away
I'll say "Hello" but you'll keep on walking
The next time you see me, I'll turn away
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you, you're always so far away

I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while

I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while

And my heart hangs from this noose
Like your footsteps in crowded rooms
Filled with sweet scents of autumn blooms
Is this what you imagine?

Catch a glimpse from her empty stare
Hidden eyes behind her auburn hair
Catch my breath for the smoke to clear
And it's just as it should be

My best-laid plans wilil build and break your heart
Her guilty hands tear my whole world apart
My mind keeps racing
She's softly dreaming
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening

And we'll wake up in vacant rooms
Pull you close to my aching skin
Broken glass on the porcelain
Is this what you imagine?

We'll forget what we used to say
And our lives won't mean anything
Pull me close as I drift away
And it's just as it should be

My best-laid plans wilil build and break your heart
Her guilty hands tear my whole world apart
My mind keeps racing
She's softly dreaming
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening

And we'll both take our revenge
But we still won't feel any better
And we both take our revenge
But we still don't feel any better

I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening to
me at all
