Your Old Haunts

A wave reaches the shoreline
Gently washing up your feet
I’ll tell you now, I never thought that this is where we’d be
But something broke the wayside
Where you turned and tossed the key
Then turned your back and cut to black
As the key floats down the reef
The reason in you died then
But I made loads of plans
You said that you would see them through as long we were friends
The heart grows fonder with distance, so you were the first to leave
So black your heart, surrender and return to sender
Can you feel it ripping me in two?
Where the sun and sea’ll meet the whole world slips into deceit
If this is tearing you in two
I could cut you with my voice
You could bleed just for me
And I fall apart again
If I wrote you the perfect love song would you take me back in arms?
And see it through that me and you would never be apart?
'Cause I see right through you now (clear as crystal babe)
All the blood red flags I walked past - too many to mention
We're going and going and going again
Hope this is tearing you in two
I wanna crush you with my voice
I wanna let you know how much it means to me
And you think that you should leave, but I know the air will hold you down
This time I won’t let you get away with this

I’ve been trying to get over you
Never wanting to admit the truth
Truth is that they think I am no good
Well, if you’re for real, girl, you could, you would, you should (get back with me now)
Is this really how things are gonna be now on between us?
Cause I never thought that it’d turn out this way
Sparks fly every time I reach to you
Leaving’s something I could never do
And why’s it that you make shit hard for me?
We’re just teenagers but it’s always me you blame
I know that things won’t be the same way now on between us
But I never thought that it'd turn out this way
And you think there was never anything at all between us
But I never thought that it'd turn out this way
No, you’re not for real
And you don’t know how you feel
And you’re calling after me
When nothing else in this world ever comes for free
This is not for me
And there’s no guarantee
I’ll be around tomorrow so look me in the eyes and and tell me everything will be alright
Cast away all thoughts of me
'Cause my words could catch on viral
Will you take me back or rekindle some old flame?
Go on and make a move
I’m gonna let you know
That everything you do is so last week
Go on and check ‘em out
It’s just a hit to you
Cause everyone you do is so last…
You know, it's me you spoil
You stopped the rot in my veins only to make my blood boil, you know
And I was never afraid of knocking down your twin towers
And your facade is oh so cute
You made your bed now your chickens are coming home to roost
And I will never say die and you lied 'cause I’m the one
Won’t get with you won’t get with me
Won’t see me thrown down at your feet
Said we were never meant to be
I think you know damn well you can’t fool me
I used to call you on the phone
Now all I can do is die alone
With every breath you take, think of my name
You'll never let this go

Turned your back and sat and laughed
Because I know you know that I know you feel me now
We’re closer now
I bet you think you’re cute, the way you always act aloof
But I see through you
Called you out in time only to fade into street lights
This all comes to ahead; I’ll hate you to my last breath
With all your loaded words and friends
I’ve never felt this way
I can’t forget you and I know because I’ve tried
You think if any of this was easy I would still try?
If you weren’t so goddamn pretty you think I’d still be here tonight?
You know if everyone knew your name, my words could make it safe
But would they be the right words to pierce that heart and get through to you
And I was a fool
Truth is, I was only acting cool
I was a faker before you
The way you put your hair up to say sorry baby
You got me wanting you now
How you act like nobody knows anything but you
No more wishes, I wish you dead
With all your loaded words and sayings
I think you could be my end
I can’t forget you and I know because I’ve tried
With all your loaded words and friends
I’ve never felt this way
I can’t forgive you and I know because I’ve tried
And this is the last time you murder my name I know you know it well (I know you do)
I was a faker before you.

In theory we’re all just fine
Killing braincells and wasting time
But you really think this is enough for me? (Send me to the other side)
You owe me big for all that you’ve done to me (emotional or otherwise)
For you, the rain parted ways (over and over again)
For them, your back turned away
You got the best of me once again
Is there somebody else? (I know it)
I’ll call you out on your bluff because this fiction is not enough.
If we couldn’t talk, then I’d sing to you
You’d do the verses to my chorus
You’d sing softly and sweetly to me
'Cause that’s the way it should be
Just why can’t you try to be good to me?
Let’s spend next summer exploring your anatomy (deep inside your insides)
You got the best of me once again
Is there another one? (I know it)
I’ll call you out in time if only to claim just what is mine
You made a fool of me once more
Forget all the time before (you know it)
I’ll call you out on your bluff cause this fiction is not enough.
Brace yourself to me
I’d never hurt you unless I tried
Let me squeeze gently
If only you knew what they’d do to get to you
It’s just too much to ignore

You’re a tease
And you know that it’s true
Whatever winds you up
Is what I’m allergic to
I didn’t make the rules
Whatever you can do I can do (but better, better)
It’s like every move that I make there’s a problem
If you’re looking for war then you’ve got one
I’ve talked to walls with more charm than you
Every word so pseudointellectual (while I’m electrical)
Roll up your sleeves and go back on your bet
Need more than pity, no one’s bested me yet
So you “grew up”, thought you were a star
Now I know who my real friends are
If I had one thing to say to you…
Invent another craze to cling to
Cause no one feigns just quite like you
But in a moment’s glance you’ll fall apart
I wonder if you hear me now…
Hope you’re happy now
With all said and all done
Is this what you want?
So you made it all up all along
But the lies will go on and on and on
And if I had one thing to say to you:
You got me doing math now
And you say the words out loud to break my heart now
And you could bury your grudges in the country
And watch the end credits roll like a movie
But no matter what you’ll be ever so far behind
Fighting back is hopeless
I’m fast but you’re impotent
So you grew up, thought that you were perfect
Well I guess you’re the most likely suspect
And if you say otherwise then you lied

Said you’d be free with or without the likes of me
So what was it you said
When you took him to...
You’re cute with all your games
'Cause you know I’ll play
But come downtown a little past eight
They’ve all got this plague:
Don’t be upset when you’re not invited
I know you well enough to know that you’re a liar
So cry me a river and build a bridge
I hope that some day you’ll find the nerve to get over it
Disconnecting the cord from the phone
I’ve got nothing more to say to you
'Cause I watched you make your way
Will you fuck the pain away?
I was a fool with no signs of improving
But now I’m super slick and smooth
So now that I’m out of your way
Will you go and take your aim?
Don’t regret when you’re undercover
A footnote in the black book of ex lovers
So try me baby if you’re so cool
This is the last time I’m wasting breath over you
In the cold air would your wings melt if you flew?
Would your body ache for another hit again?
I get this feeling you and I, never meant to be
So let me break it down for you now one last time
So cry me a river, you burned that bridge
I hope that someday you put yourself past this shit
And I’ll cry myself to sleep about this
And I hope that someday I'll get over it

I’d trip face down on the ground for you now
But you don’t think I’m ready to fall in love
And I wanna believe in this failing lie
But every piece says no
So tell me now or tell me no
I wanna swim in the blood that shrouds your bones
And if this is what you want, then this is all that you’ll get from me
Lie awake cold nights; think of me every time
I know you’re dying to lose it all and fall in love
And you can keep telling this failing lie
But how long before they all know?
I told you once, I’ll tell you twice
I wanna see the world behind your eyes.
We could be like teens on TV screens, you and I
When they kiss kiss, touch and fall in love
Love is seamless in this failing lie
So lose yourself or act your age
It tastes so sweet, it feels so right
Come take the weight from off my life
And you can count your lucky stars
They’re watching you wherever you are now

I’ve got a plan
One that may or may not involve you
Are you turned on?
I’ve got ways to make you melt
Into a form I want myself
I’ll bathe in you
I’ll let you know
We lay our scene just after dark, in the cold air
She’ll head home in sweet sacrilege
But tonight, she chokes
In black and white she was chrome red
I watched her breathe
It’s been so long since we last touched
Do you remember me?
Can you tell me honestly that you’d be anywhere but this place? (It’s just not fair)
Wipe off that shiver smile
It’s only what’s in style
We’re warmer now - I’d never let you freeze
I’ll do to you what’s been done to me
I'll take us home
I miss the time when I was the only one
Don’t say you never had a chance now to get the upper hand won (when you let me go)
I was the first to taste what’s on your lips (you say my name)
You seem to come and go with ivory coated smiles
Love poison starts to take its hold
You know you're being selfish; you know I just can't help it

Of the words I chose to waste
Those three were all the best
Do you still feel my energy
Does my face haunt still haunt your dreams?
If the words you say are true now, I’d have already caught fire
You know just how to break me down
Damn girl, I never knew the mouth on you could drag me down to hell
Oh no, if I showed you my world, you’d never let this go
If my words were ever gold they’re platinum now
And they’ll ring true to you when you're six feet underground
With blue lips and blurry eyes, you stole the night of all its shine
‘Cause you taught me how to fade
And it might be too late for regrets
But I still love you
I was thinking you were ripe
I step forward
Reminder, I'll have to tell her; the best kept secrets aren't kept secret, no
Strung out again, I'll be close to you
You would never take my name
But as you cross over...
So beautiful, and so cold
