Encore Without an End

Pushing back grey curtains of doubt
Allowing tired eyes to finally see
That I'm sick of being sick with attempts to compromise
Crying for something we'll never be
You look at me and say
That you despise me more everyday
And you never meant for this to go on so long
Anyway...

One life, two tries, three times (X2)
Who can't live, can't live without

This is what you get,
I'm sorry but I can't hate you yet
You need this more than I do
And that's why I still love you

Adrift on this isle of my discontent
She's holding on to hurt me one more night
We're two dark stars decaying each other
Complaining that they've lost their light
She looks as if to say
Until I hate her she won't go away
Or else she would have left me alone
Yesterday

One life, two tries, three times (x2)
Can't live, can't live without

This is what you get,
I'm sorry but I can't hate you yet
You need this more than I do
And that's why I still love you
(repeat)

We take our final bow,
Done because I hate you now
You'll never stop the pain
Because we'll never dance again
(repeat)

One life, two times, three tries (X2)
You can't eat, can't breathe or sleep
You can't walk, can't hear or see
So don't talk, don't say you're free
'Cause you can't live, won't live without me

So sayeth The Brad...

The Other Side of Waves

Awash in her arms of blue, and ebony,
Promised a sweet mileu of apathy
And something so new it had never been seen
Or heard or felt or lived before

The goal of a better day, a peace,
From looking up at thin rays draping over me
Resigning to this only way to be,
Exist, to wait in the sea

I hear it bellow from the deep
Crashing ships while I'm asleep and dreaming
And when I wake the flash of fires floating
Somewhere far above has caught the
Skeletons of those I loved and

Sinking brings them closer to me than ever before
Extinguishing the heat now and exchanging it for
A deep, a hard desire for what they've never known
No sweeter thing than this: the ice-quick grip of letting go
(Letting go)

A current of no more pain
An icy chokehold like a soft refrain
Aware that the urge has finally waned:
To hope, to hurt, to ever rise again

I hear it bellow from the deep
Crashing ships while I'm asleep and dreaming
And when I wake the flash of fires floating
Somewhere far above has caught the
Skeletons of those I loved and

Sinking brings them closer to me than ever before
Extinguishing the heat now and exchanging it for
A deep, a hard desire for what they've never known
No sweeter thing than this: the ice-quick grip of letting go
(Letting go)

Crush me now, save me now, my watery grave
I'm staring at my life through the other side of waves

It bellows from the deep
Crashing ships while I'm asleep and dreaming
And when I wake the flash of fires floating
Somewhere far above has caught the
Skeletons of those I loved and

Sinking brings them closer to me than ever before
Extinguishing the heat now and exchanging it for
A deep, a hard desire for what they've never known
No sweeter thing than this: the ice-quick grip of letting go

Letting go (repeat through)

Crush me now, save me now, my watery grave
I've given up my life behind the other side of waves

So sayeth The Brad...
