Picture what you will
Safety and foreign films
As a light goes on far from here
It’s burning still
These lines, a tortured face
Like shadows in empty space
Lover, I wish you well
But I run like hell
I hope you’re keeping score
I hope you’re keeping score
I hope you’re keeping score
Of the little things that burn us alive
Dawn burns, a twisted silence
As the rain it falls to claim the panic
These bruises I know won’t heal
These hanging ghosts
Hollow as shorelines fade
Like promises so quick to fail us
So scatterbrain, I lose my pace
And burn inside myself
I hope you’re keeping score
I hope you’re keeping score
I hope you’re keeping score
Of the little things that burn us alive

Finger frozen triggers, breathing down our necks
Red eyes in the distance, it’s a delicate balance
A delicate balance
Rotten like a sickness, and pulling out our teeth
As children play the difference, chasing our last breath
Chasing our last breath
(If you want me I’ll be waiting...the time will pass and fade)
I can never tell if I’m invisible
Or if I just look like everyone else
(If you want me I’ll be waiting...the time will pass and fade)
Harbor socket life can be so miserable
If you’re just out of reach of the secrets of the salt
(If you want me I’ll be waiting...the time will pass and fade)
Only time can cure you, a rope or shattered glass
Caught beyond an instant, it’s a dangerous moment
A dangerous moment
Shrieking through the silence, falling through the ice
Children play the difference, it’s a delicate balance
A delicate balance
(If you want me I’ll be waiting...the time will pass and fade)
I can never tell if I’m invisible
Or if I just look like everyone else
(If you want me I’ll be waiting...the time will pass and fade)
Harbor socket life can be so miserable
If you’re just out of reach of the secrets of the salt
(If you want me I’ll be waiting...the time will pass and fade)
(If you want me I’ll be waiting...the time will pass and fade)
I can never tell if I’m invisible
Or if i just look like everyone else
(If you want me I’ll be waiting...the time will pass and fade)
I’ve never been the king of anything
But you can name me the prince of bad timing
(Watch the light as it is fading...the days will end the same)

I’ll take the good life
A sure thing on safety line
Walls high that will not bend
Endless days, no reckoning
No escape
No escape
No escape
A rising tide is held at bay
Cracked neon walls hide broken faith
Painted lands and firefights
Twisted limbs and sleepless nights
No escape
No escape
No escape
So familiar, the familiar end
So easy, these desperate patterns
So familiar, the familiar end
So easy to forget that i am anything
As the siren wails, reminding me to breathe
A siren is shrieking, it’s leading me to ruins
So familiar, the familiar end
So easy, these desperate patterns
So familiar, so familiar
So familiar to me

Just how well can you play second fiddle?
That song in your head goes mostly unheard
Do you have love, or does it have you?
Your porcelain heart trampled in ashes
Now you’re gone, and so is my summer
Left me by the road between Central and Russell
If you look back, well don’t be mistaken
That monkey on your back looks nothing like me
Republic of thieves, afraid of police
Self-medication has become our disease
Fingernails of reason across the chalkboard of treason
White-lined indifference could be our new season
Stranger in the mirror was your best friend
Now a lousy thief with a taste for blood
As we pass through every new town
The ones that fade behind gain a melancholy crown
Republic of thieves, afraid of police
Self-medication has become our disease
Fingernails of reason across the chalkboard of treason
White-lined indifference could be our new season
Vines will crawl deep into the city
Pillars of glass tarnished to ivy
Turns the high-rises into hedges
Within the high-rises there’ll be a room for me
Republic of thieves, afraid of police
Self-medication has become our disease
Fingernails of reason across the chalkboard of treason
White-lined indifference could be our new season

A world with its alibis
Mothers sing broken hearts
Lovers abandon hope
Children lay alone with ghosts
Pray for the night to fade
Darkness comes in slow decay
Chaos then stillness grows
Soft light comes as morning glows
Only the tide
Only the tide can tame
Only the tide
Only the tide can tame
