Winner Takes All

When the weekends come too soon to appreciate close minded acts,
Crack an open window roll by slow,
But it's never too late to hear about some things you'd never want to know.
Side swiped by the knife in my hand.
Dusted prints my cover's blown I'll never understand
Without you now but I'm not alone. I'm not alone.

Obligated to a decision that's beating me down over my head but still in my hands
Never been plagued with such a disease to discomfort me with the reality
That this confusion just wont do
Now it's time to choose. happiness or security her golden eyes to the sound she breathes.
So how long until i know when this can sink in no more
When the old door will close when the new girl arose
Until then i will save my breath and hold it for the explosion.
Risk the mistake that could bury in the deep end of a relationship
Filled to the brim with it's dislocated consequence
The hardest thing i'll never forget winner takes all
With no regret.

The Final Consequence

So it begins
The word is out and I'm not even through with you
What's left when every empty space in your back has been replaced with stab wounds
According to my past, that's all I have to give
A seperate heart to choose, in the end I always lose. I always lose

So breathe in my love
It's passed out on the floor
Like these bleeding veins
My heart's pumping for yours.

So it begins
Your heart is out, panting on my sleeve
And now I'm through with you.
Please allow me to pull this knife from your back
It wasn't meant for you to hold
But if you feel secure, you may keep it
Because I'll be back someday to clean your wounds
But this time I've got too much to lose. Too much to lose

So breathe in my love
It's passed out on this floor
Like these bleeding veins
My heart's pumping for yours
It's your silencing words that have been feeding this curse.
I'll never forget you, never forget, never forget.

Like a vampire I've drained you
The reflection in your eyes slowly fade
Like an empty promise I've stained you
Never meant it to hurt this way

So breathe in my love
It's passed out on the floor
Like these bleeding veins
My hearts pumping for yours
Never meant it to hurt this way, I'm sorry I will change
(Cross my heart out with this knife)
You'll be back someday and I'm sorry
(Trace my veins so I can etch away the memories of you in me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry)
Never forget, never forget, what I'll never regret.
