Not The Pilot

holding on for dear life
now you see yourself at the other end of this knife
now you beg for mercy
...

Thanks for that
This meant so much to me
This doesn't make sense
You wouldn't do this to me, surely.
...

she states the obvious, he looks at her as if she's a queen
she drops her books, he jumps to grab them before they get dirty
she said, 'the world ends tomorrow', he said, 'well, yes, of course'
she set his house on fire, he said, 'at least it wasn't yours'
...

are you sure this is what you want
because you're not looking so sincere
are you questioning the thoughts i'm giving you dear
oh, i can feel regrets in the room
...

you're my backseat lover who never wears a seatbelt
my angel who can't keep her halo straight
you've got a shoulder for me to cry on
and another with a devil to steer me the wrong way
...

i'm falling harder than i ever have
and it's all for you
steady my hands
you have me shaking again
...

baby girl died dancing in the rain
due to her steady diet of vodka and cocaine
took time to realize that she was actually dead
i'm so used to her spending life
...

he's on top of the world, he can't be beat
a word missing from his dictionary would be defeat
says he's more than standing tall, he's flying right now
he can't be touched, yeah, that's how he feels
...

she wanted to go home, he wanted another dance
they compromised, oh, what a surprise what happens next
it's not how she imagined, but she thinks they have something here
he's just taking advantage, he plans to disappear, come morning.
...

blank stares, because i'm playing reruns in my head
these shows, have become nightmares, remembering things i said
what's wrong with me? i left you crying to yourself
even though i knew how you felt
...

i met a million dollar baby in a five and ten cent store
it left me for Miami, what does the world take me for?
i know, i'm no golden-winged angel dropped from the air
but i could do without the constant happiness then despair
...

your burdens are murderers, liars, and thieves
and i'm an accomplise to everything they need
i've become that person, that even i run from
the world and i, are scoping out slaughters
...

this memory would have made a nice tattoo
but i decided it'd be better off as a song for you
who knew, that night, would lead to this
right now, would be, a good time for a second chance
...

i think i'll never go back again
i'll stay away from these places
i'll never see these faces
that i've come to know so well
...

These tears don't mean anything anymore
I try so hard but they just keep coming back
I don't always do whats best
But i'll learn from my mistakes
...

This is a time for lost causes
I can't change your mind
My chest is shattered into pieces
To an extreme of a different kind
...

Telling you goodbye,
Is like breathing underwater
Just the thought of you not being there
Makes it just that much harder
...

do you see, what you're bringing to the table for me?
i'm not sure if i can handle everything
this is the part, where you're throwing out names
and i'm sorry darling, but you'll remain the one to blame
...

this ship goes out to sea
if you were my captain, oh captain
i'd throw you overboard
and in the midst of you search
...

if this is what you want
i'll give it to you
give me a second to clear
the smoke from the room
...
