Lovely, lovely, lovely flower buds blanket, blanket, my beating heart reflecting, refracting, streams of golden light shower softly, on me tonight I hope you know, what it is that captivates me so and the love you feel, I promise you it will only grow come in bloom without pretension the only goal is your affection yet you maintain this deflection oh, take my heart Lovely, lovely, lovely flower buds blanket, blanket, my beating heart reflecting, refracting, streams of golden light shower softly, on me tonight (x2) as the evening slowly falls and envelops us all i stand and wait, anxious to know where your interests lie but if you tell me off, and break my heart, i'll have no choice but to die wearing a tear stained smile, i meekly mumble "i promise i'll be fine" come in bloom without pretension the only goal is your affection yet you maintain this deflection oh, kill my heart Lovely, lovely, lovely flower buds blanket, blanket, my beating heart reflecting, refracting, streams of golden light shower softly, on me tonight (x2)

to have no faults, that's only in dreams that's what they said, that's what they said it can't maintain without tearing away that's what they said, that's what they said can't keep it safe from our fucking hands that's what they said, that's what they said if can't hate then be damned that's what they said, that's what they said well they're right all angels will suffocate on earth come night we'll strip the world of anything of worth and if you're of the mind that's bound to say "rainy days will fade away" endless floods will prove you wrong and blacken out that happy face so if there's something you hold dear kill it now out of fear because the one thing we hate most are hearts unsullied and demure i met a girl who did nothing but scream that's what they said, that's what they said i'm told they trampled, spit on her dreams that's what they said, that's what they said because she wished to fill our fucking hands that's what they said, that's what they said her wrists have valleys, for our demands that's what they said, that's what they said [pre-chorus] [chorus] we blame it on her heartbeat because of it we can't sleep you can't blame us being jealous of the angels that are above us we'll rip them out of heaven with our taped-on wing ascension how dare they walk among us the perfect and the vaunted

This Summer 03:58
Look towards the sun, it's an endeavor why blind myself when it's cooler indoors Even if I changed, though probably never the same root problems are abundantly sure It's not giving up, it's intended function forcing ideals does me no good cherish any bliss that finds it's way in my strikingly sober view of the world I'm two years old and I'm bathed in sunlight among the intricate web of events that will determine my life as soon as you see what's exactly happening twenty years are waving goodbye Aspirations are high at the start of summer This year's destined to be better you'll see Even though I know, it's a futile effort something has to stop the depression in me It's not giving up, it's brutal realization what influence you wield means nothing cherry buds amiss, frame moral desolation and a strikingly sober view of the world [chorus] nya nya nya nya nya nya we look towards aging as a promised remedy for things we've yet experienced but think we should achieve as soon as you see what's exactly happening twenty years are waving goodbye

Smile harder today, that's what I tell myself as I wake If you act like others, maybe others Will treat you as the same That's just what I say To keep myself out of my (head) And if that's all there really is, then I don't care at all So I'll walk out and pray, that behind the tears I'm okay Because if you let others know you're bothered Their perception won't be the same That's just what I say Mmm mmm mmm So today's my day, that's what I tell myself as I wake If there's hope to dream of, maybe even without love I'd like to live all the same That's just what I say To keep myself out of my (head) And if that's all there really is, then I don't care at all

when you wake i'll be gone i'll be dead laid to waste when you wake sing my song sing it well but not in haste when you wake you'll want to sleep sleep harder than before when you wake life not death you'll fear more when you wake you'll wake to the absence of light when you wake suffocate because depression holds tight when you wake give up better days are a lie when you wake hang your head in defeat and sigh a child plays alone in the field after dark minding only himself yet fate has come to rip fragile breaths right out of his clutch, he'll die gruesomely longing for his mother's touch we will all be discarded so don't you look sad we're inconsequential parts of the past can you look at me and say you're prepared to cease to exist and become what's no longer there?
