The Ice Age Is Coming

A cold world is one where you think hope's alive
Where "friends" aren't really "friends"
Where love can't survive
A cold world is one where life takes your life
Where day after day is a fight after fight
This-World- Has-Made- Me-Cold
(But I know)
You've got to break your back
To hold your ground
And bones will heal
So I'm standing strong.
It hurts
It breaks
It kills
It takes
We’ll fight
We’ll win
We won’t give in

Please Die!

I won't go
Because I've been there before
And it took twenty years to pick my face up off the floor
I'm not "sorry" if "things" aren't "the same"
But sleepless nights are hardly worth the cheapness of your game
And if you know what I mean then live for yourself
Because life is too short to waste it on somebody else
There was a time, and I swear that I cared...
I got burned
And now I walk with this fist in the air
I don‘t care what they say
They're not the ones who have to live with the pain
Black Heart Breaking, Broken Bonds
I should have known all along
Don't talk to me
I'm as deaf as I am blind
Thanks for making me cheap
And thanks for wasted time

When we were young,
We thought the days would get better
Today I talked myself out of ending this
I've been out chasing silhouettes
Losing frozen smiles to the thawed regrets
And all the way home
'I could see your breath though we looked dead'
I'm so far from here..
We laughed,
Our time is running thin
But I always knew how the end would end
I never said I'd stay to the end
Fuck you, fuck all of you
You'll never know what I wanted to say
Those words are as dead as the air I breathe
Life is just a big second guess
A broken staircase of mistook steps
You can trust me, it's not okay

The Day The Music Died
01:09

Never thought the world was going to end
Always knew I'd come across your face again
Still healing broken hearts and holding broken bones
Singing ‘Taps’ off-key and breaking quiet phones
You don’t know what you’ve got until you're left all alone
See the strain in my bloodshot eyes
I'm a hollow box, empty as your lies
And I know I can't live
Because the price that I pay will be the love that I give
Nothing hurts like that look in your eyes
Fuck the day I thought love was more than a lie
I only die every day
Sit alone count the ‘no's’ of the yesterdays
Those seven days sure made me weak
And when I’m dead and gone
(Shed a tear, bless my memory)
But I can’t go on
All I want in these dying days is a breath of fresh air, and some sanity
But nothings ever good enough, so I'll take a sad song sure enough
The feeling I'm feeling is a feeling I've felt for far too long
The feeling I'm feeling is a feeling I've fought for far too long
