Hawthorne Heights Skeletons Lyrics
1.Bring You Back

It was the middle of the night
when I heard you took your life.
You were slowly changing, slowly changing
to black and white.
In the middle of the night
our clock was stopped in time.
You were slowly fading, slowly fading from day to night.
I turn around, I turn around
and your not there.
I turn around, I turn around
and your not there.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
If we could have this one more day
I swear that I would find a way
to keep you here, to make you hear
that you mean everything.
Just give me five more minutes.
I'd give the world to have you in it.
My life is empty, if you could see me
would you have left this way?
I turn around, I turn around
and your not there.
I turn around, I turn around
and your not there.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
You don't have to ask for anything
because you are still my everything.
I never feel complete without you.
I'll never heal completely without you back.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back. (One last time)
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map. (One last time)
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I never thought I'd ever make it.
It didn't hurt for me to try.
I'll do anything.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I just wish I could bring you back.


2.Nervous Breakdown

I'm so over being sick
I'm so sick of this relationship
Go get a doctor and an ambulance
I need your kiss it's the medicine
It get's me moving going back and forth
Everybody grab a map and help me chart the course
I brought a compass it's reading north
It doesn't really matter if it's back and forth
I thought that I should tell you (Whoa)
My world is crashing down, again
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling down
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling I'm falling
I don't care, I don't care what you think of me right now
Cause I'm gonna have a breakdown
My only choice is to over react
Is this a voice or just a panic attack?
I need a doctor to help me try to relax
No one ever told me I was living too fast
I thought I should tell you (Whoa)
My world is crashing down, again
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling down
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling I'm falling
I don't care, I don't care, what you think of me right now
Cause I'm gonna have a breakdown
You know me all to well but you never had the chance
To find out who I really am, who I really am
You know me all to well but you never had the chance
To find out who I really am, who I really am
I'm spinning round, I'm calling out
I'm gonna have a breakdown
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling down
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling I'm falling
I don't care, I don't care, what you think of me right now
Cause I'm gonna have a breakdown


3.End of the Underground

Woah, woah
This tragedy is such a masterpiece.
We set the table and we watch them feast.
On the blood and the tears.
They drain from the years.
From the work of the young, young pioneers.
Let's go down together for one more chance.
The skeletons are screaming for one last dance.
It's all the same, the same old sound.
This is the end of the underground.
Woah, woah
The story has such a common theme.
We sign the line and we join the scene.
For the blood and the tears.
They drain from the years.
From the sweat of the young, young volunteers
Let's go down together for one more chance.
The skeletons are screaming for one last dance.
It's all the same, the same old sound.
This is the end of the underground.
Please know that, you're not alone
Please know that, you're not alone
You're not alone
Please know that, you're not alone
You're not alone
Let's go down together for one more chance.
The skeletons are screaming for one last dance.
It's all the same, the same old sound.
This is the end of the underground.
Let's go down together for one more chance.
The skeletons are screaming for one last dance.
It's all the same, the same old sound.
This is the end of the underground.
Let's go down together for one more chance.
The skeletons are screaming for one last dance.
It's all the same, the same old sound.
This is the end of the underground.


4.Drive

If you cut me, I will bleed
Just enough to get your attention
Here I am, I'm on display
Pass me by without a mention
You never said this would be easy
It doesn't have to be so hard
My eyes are burning, my head is dizzy
A thousand miles don't seem so far
Drive, a thousand miles, it doesn't seem so far
What you leave behind makes you who you are
Drive, just drive, roll the windows down and feel alive
All night, all right, I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes...
Just drive away, just drive
Spend an hour or a day, just enough to get my attention
As the wolves begin to play, here's a knife to cut the tension
All the nights seem dark and dreary
The morning sun begins with hope
Sometimes I wonder if you can hear me
Or have I reached the end of the rope?
Drive, a thousand miles, it doesn't seem so far
What you leave behind makes you who you are
Drive, just drive, roll the windows down and feel alive
All night, all right, I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes...
Just drive away, just drive
My voice is shaking from the risk I'm taking
I can't stop driving, the sun is rising...
Drive, just drive, roll the windows down and feel alive
All night, all right, I'll drive until the morning light
Drive, just drive, roll the windows down and feel alive
All night, all right, I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes...
Just drive away, just drive


5.Gravestones

This old place wont be the same
When the gravestones start to sing your name
Got a lot of bad habits on the way to fame
This old place wont be the same
This old place wont be the same
The mad mad world won't start to spin
Until we learn to speak in unison
Even in church I found a way to sin
The mad mad world won't start to spin
The mad mad world won't start to spin
And I don't care anymore
Here we are at the edge of the world
I got a six-string heart filled with diamonds and girls
Late night drives leaving Dayton to god knows where
I don't care where we are or where I've been
I've got broken bones I'm torn from limb to limb
I'd give anything just to see your ghost
As I drive from east to the west coast
And nothing matters now I got no lights to guide me home
Ill learn to live without, the name on the gravestone
The days go by one by one
I scream your name from my lungs
Your spirits here in these songs
The days go by one by one, I count the days one by one
The nights are lost without you here
Dear god it's only been a year
I keep waiting for you to reappear
The nights are lost without you here
It's still so strange without you here
And I don't care anymore
Here we are at the edge of the world
I got a six-string heart filled with diamonds and girls
Late night drives leaving Dayton to god knows where
I don't care where we are or where I've been
I've got broken bones I'm torn from limb to limb
I'd give anything just to see your ghost
As I drive from east to the west coast
And nothing matters now I got no lights to guide me home
I'll learn to live without, the name on the gravestone


6.Broken Man

Doctor doctor
Can you please check my pulse
It's beating slower
You told me I should expect the worst
I know my days ae numbered now
Just a few more months to go
I'll say my last goodbye farewell
And kiss the one I love the most
Pick up the pieces of myself
Put me back together now
I'm just a man who was meant to be broken
A lost soul who's life is winding down
My time is running out
I'm just a man who's dream has been stolen
A lost soul who's pulse is winding down
My time is running ou
Doctor doctor
Can I have the good news first
I'm not feeling well and I can tell
You just don't have the cure
Pick up the pieces of myself
Put me back together now
I'm just a man who was meant to be broken
A lost soul who's life is winding down
My time is running out
I'm just a man who's dream has been stolen
A lost soul who's pulse is winding down
My time is running out
Now I know the end is near
I'll call you off to face my fears alone
I'm dying dying dear
So let me go, just let me go
Pick up the pieces of myself
Put me back together now
I'm just a man who was meant to be broken
A lost soul who's life is winding down
My time is running out
I'm just a man who's dream has been stolen
A lost soul who's pulse is winding down
My time is running out


7.Last Few Words

I'll take control if you'll let me
just promise you won't forget these last few words
I'll take it slow and gentle
as long as you remember these last few words
just one more reason, to hate this all again
just one more way to make it through the day
Let's make this nice and easy
just swear that you'll never leave me
until I'm just a ghost
all this business is so painful
maybe I'm just too sentimental
with all this lack of being close to home
just one more reason, to hate this all again
just one more way to make it through the day
I know you feel so tired of all these arguments
just one more reason to call this all the end
look into my eyes and watch me burning bright
look into my eyes and watch me burn tonight
remember these last few words
remember these last few words
just one more reason, to hate this all again
just one more way to make it through the day
I know you feel so tired of all these arguments
just one more reason to call this all the end
just one more reason, to hate this all again
just one more way to make it through the day
I know you feel so tired of all these arguments
just one more reason to call this all the end


8.Abandoned Driveways

Breathe me in I am your nicotine
I'll fill your lungs until you cannot breathe
Swallow me down I am your alcohol
I'll fill your gut with all the pain and loss
When you pass out so you can sleep it off
Bloodshot eyes don't tell the truth
Abandoned drives lead to abuse
But I won't let you get away so soon
Roll the dice you'll either win or lose
Your alibi has gotten me confused
But I won't let you get away so soon
Crush me up I'm your amphetimine
I'll keep you up so you cannot dream
Start with me I am your gateway drug
Turn to me when you don't feel loved
Listen once and you can't turn me off
Bloodshot eyes don't tell the truth
Abandoned drives lead to abuse
But I won't let you get away so soon
Roll the dice you'll either win or lose
Your alibi has gotten me confused
But I won't let you get away so soon
Breathe me in, breathe me in
Swallow me down and listen once
I am your gateway gateway drug
I am your gateway gateway drug
I am your gateway gateway drug
If you open your eyes
I know you'll find yourself in me
Bloodshot eyes don't tell the truth
Abandoned drives lead to abuse
But I won't let you get away so soon
Roll the dice you'll either win or lose
Your alibi has gotten me confused
But I won't let you get away so soon
thank you


9.Picket Fences

The places I remember are getting worn and withered
My heart's the picket fences and needs a little mending
Am I not everything you thought I should be?
The faces in the picture are burnt just like the real ones
Our skin is the exposure it's gotten so much older
But am I not everything you thought I should be?
This life long competition still reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything I tried to do
My life plays in front of you
And now I've realized there's nothing left for me to hide
I've opened myself enough for the world to see my guts
Where are you now? and where have you been?
Everything and everyone, Everything and everyone
Must come to an end
The children in the school yard have grown so cold and tired
The shift is almost over I'm praying I don't get fired
Life isn't everything I thought it should be
The bills left on the table will be payed if I was able to
Work a few more hours, my life has grown so sour
Because I'm not everything I thought I could be
This life long competition still reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything I tried to do
My life plays in front of you
And now I've realized there's nothing left for me to hide
I've opened myself enough for the world to see my guts
Where are you now? and where have you been?
Everything and everyone, Everything and everyone
Must come to an end
The places I remember are getting worn and withered
My heart's the picket fences and needs a little mending
Am I not everything you thought I should be?


10.Here I Am

I lost myself again today
I'm not sure if I care
There's always something standing in my way
As they stop as they stop and stare
Stop dragging my life around Whadh
Stop talking behind my back
Whadh
I lost myself again today
And I don't care
Here I am
Listen to me now
Here I stand
I won't let you tear me down
I don't wanna live so far underground
So here I am and you're on your own
I fought the world and lost today
I need a place to call my own
I met myself along the way
I found the road that takes me home
Here I am
List to me Now
Here I stand
I won't let you tear me down
I don't wanna live so far underground
I know I'm lost and can't be found
So here I am and now you're on your own
Where is the life you said I had so far in front of me
I lost my way when you said I could be anything
Here I am and I'm still waiting
Here I am until you let me go
I lost myself again today
I'm not sure if I care
There's always something standing in my way
Here I am
Listen to me now
Here I stand
I won't let you tear me down
I don't wanna live so far underground
I know I'm lost and can't be found
So here I am and now you're on your own
Here I am
List to me Now
Here I am and I'm still waiting
Here I am until you let me go


11.Hollywood & Vine

The clouds settle on the city
to canopy for movie scenes
a backdrop full of hope and dreams
the harder they try, the further they fall
their learning their lines, and waiting for calls
to be the next face
that takes the place of the one you used to love
here we go, here we go again this time
did you leave your heart tonight
on Hollywood and Vine
in the corner of your mind
she's waiting for a ride, to the other side
of Hollywood and Vine
you're no longer anonymous
the shine of fame has turned to rust
and you're the one whose wasted
every single chance you never took
the longer they wait, the further they are
they got what it takes, no matter the part
to be the next face
that takes the place of the one you used to love
here we go, here we go again this time
did you leave your heart tonight
on Hollywood and Vine
in the corner of your mind
she's waiting for a ride, to the other side
of Hollywood and Vine
in the corner of your mind, she's waiting for a ride
in the corner of your mind, she's waiting for a ride
here we go, here we go again this time
did you leave your heart tonight
on Hollywood and Vine
in the corner of your mind
she's waiting for a ride, to the other side
of Hollywood and Vine


12.Unforgivable

All I need is to hear your voice and
You're juliet and I'm just your posion
Slowly sinking in
I'm just your means to an end
All I want is to be the one to scratch
These words down on the pavement
Let the whole world know
It was time for us to go
Where am I going and where have i been?
The beginning of the end
This is the summer when I get my life together
If I, I come home empty handed
I know you'll understand that I
I know I'm always working, Cross my heart
I'm always searching
I try not to leave you there
I am so unforgivable
All I need is, I have to hear you
Real me in and you disapear
You left me on my own
This is how it feels to be alone
All I have are words and paper
I wrote her down and then erased her
Afraid to show myself
I'm not sure of how I felt
Where am I going and where have i been?
The beginning of the end
This is the summer when I get my life together
If I, I come home empty handed
I know you'll understand that I
I know I'm always working, Cross my heart
I'm always searching
I try not to leave you there
I am so unforgivable
All we are, are
Ticking clocks
Keeping track
Of time thats lost
(I am so unforgivable)
This is the summer when I get my life together
If I, I come home empty handed
I know you'll understand that I
I know I'm always working, Cross my heart
I'm always searching
I try not to leave you there
I am so unforgivable


13.Boy

One sad and lonely boy
Who could not fill the void
In his hollow and empty chest
His head is such a mess
She can never find the time
To try and clear his mind
It's as cloudy as the sky
Without a ray of light
He never thought she said
I love you like a son
I know your fathers gone
And the damage has been done
Tonight never let me hold you tight
Never got to say goodbye
Out of one and only
One and only night
Everytime he cried
He held it deep inside
So no one would ever know
The boy felt so alone
It could never find the time
To untie all the lies
She's worried about herself
He's crying out for help
He never thought she said
I love you like a son
I know your fathers gone
And the damage has been done
Tonight never let me hold you tight
Never got to say goodbye
Out of one and only
One and only night
Never let me hold you tight
Never got to say goodbye
Out of one and only
One and only night
Heart of gold with a soul to match
I never thought anything could hold me back
I'm waitin
I'm always waitin
I pack my bags and never look back
I didn't know this would be the last
I saw you
I never call you
I pack my bags and never look back
I didn't know this would be the last
I saw you
I never called you
Tonight never let me hold you tight
Never got to say goodbye
Out of one and only
One and only night
Never let me hold you tight
Never got to say goodbye
Out of one and only
One and only night
Thank you
