Build Your Own Disaster

(album: The Burning - 2007)

This isn't easy
Easy to notice
That we're stalling
And I'm getting on your nerves
This isn't last year
When we were both happy
That we'll get what we deserve
(This is moving a mountain)
But it's trying our best
(It's me losing control)
As you're getting undressed
This is a wake up call
Wake up to all that we've ever loved...
And give it up

Don't turn away
This time could be different
You're making this difficult
Just thought I let you know
That when you leave
I'll be starting a new life on my own

'Cause it's a constant tragedy
Connecting you and I
And I laugh when I hear you say:
"I want to feel alive
I want to be with you one more night
Just you and I
And the city lights
We'll do it one more time
Except this time we'll get it right"

I've got my subtleties
That distinguish me from all the liars
'Cause I always satisfy her
When she says she says:
"Give me my fix, just gimmie my fix"
You want me to
Now we're a one way street
And I'm just gravity
They can't stop tearing down our dreams
(To every moment that I'm burning alive)
I used to think you cared
But tonight I realize...

'Cause it's a constant tragedy
Connecting you and I
And I laugh when I hear you say:
"I want to feel alive
I want to be with you one more night
Just you and I
And the city lights
We'll do it one more time
Except this time we'll get it right"

(Get it right, get it right, let me go...)

I don't think I need you now
Cause I don't want you
I don't want to see you

(I'm gonna haunt your dreams
like a fucking nightmare,
I'm watching you)

I bet, bet we forget
Forget everything this year
I'm making sure we don't speak a word
Cuz lately you're finding brand new ways to hate me
I bet, bet we forget
Forget everyone this time
Things can't be undone
You cover up so easy
But, twenty bucks says you're guilty now

(You're guilty, you're guilty now)

So I give up
and I give in
And if I'm lucky you'll fade away
(Just fade away)
Well won't you fade away?

'Cause it's a constant tragedy
Connecting you and I
(Just fade away)
And I laugh when I hear you say:
"I want to feel alive
I want to be with you one more night
Just you and I
And the city lights
We'll do it one more time
Except this time we'll get it right"
