2. III[lyrics]
everything's on fire, can we just let it happen? this is everything, we are it. i know i'm apprehensive, tell me, am i insecure? i don't think we really understand what's happening. every breath is such a risk. i've never been so scared as i am right now. this happens now, before i dissolve. i can't stand leaving incomplete. i don't know the things you know, but i'll say everything i ever can. how could we leave it the same way again? tonight we are brand new, and tonight you speak the truth. i know there's no turning back now, but could i ever dare?

3. I[lyrics]
you're not here, and i hate you for it. i could wallow in self-pity, but what would that ever make me? i used to cherish these nights, but your lies used to feel the same way. i hate what we've become, and everything that didn't. so heaven help me. - how i still feel about you. the night could never have caught us, if we hadn't let it. we should never have fallen asleep. but we didn't know. we didn't know that this was the end. i'm surprised you're not tired of letting me down, 'cause good excuses are such hard work. it must be those tiny arms just can't support me. or, is it just that tiny heart? - failing me

4. VI[lyrics]
why ingest the poison? i thought these sort of downfalls were kept reserved for the "special occasions", but we're all death sentences to you. but this time, life is mine, and your filthy suggestions can never rule me. needles pierce like the monster you've made of me. this whole thing's riddled with your fingerprints, but i can't seem to hide the dna. well "honey, you can't forget me", but i'm not ready for that kind of torment. i hope you choke on all your stolen souls. if only they could see the truth you candy-coat. but i won't take the pill that causes the disease. so go ahead and pout, but baby, murder is so passé. oh sugar, "even odd smiles are in this season".
6. II[lyrics]
will there be any afterwards? or only aftermath? eyes meet, but it's too late. lives collide, and pulses keep racing. i vowed i'd never fly too close to the sun, but these calculations are not accounted for. we'll be here long after the moon has come and gone, but when we resolve, will we take any comfort? it's only passing, baby, but i'll ignore that. just like the way that we're really nothing. but who can rob us of our deception? so who can rob us of our perfection? i hope it never fades. this city paints itself in lights, and dreams about the way things should be. i think of how we are right now. you and me, we're almost perfect.

7. V[lyrics]
(breathe in again. something stirs in me) no more dormant pulse - this is the end of being nothing, and they've uncaged us all. i hate waking up to the pain, but at least i'm waking up. this can't be all we'll ever know. close your eyes until tomorrow, i swear, we can still be like this! this is defiance! it's never my last breath! i am not empty! i am not dead! the seconds start to decay as we ignore the broken outside. nothing matters anymore if we just stop the clock now. - now that we have found the answer they can never erase. we've got the cure. they can never erase the moment everything changed. we are the new way! we've got it all! we can't help changing, but we're in this together. and i'm through with running, when i know this is better!

8. IV[lyrics]
there's got to be another way. after everything, it's so obvious that i'm lost. you can't escape the consequences without dying on the inside, and they will kill you on the outside. wake up with contradiction. what is this cancer in my head? just when you thought you had it all figured out. how it fits like a glove, but then you put it on the wrong hand. so place your bets and hope to goodness you made the right choice. there's a certain romance to these thoughts, that will never let the bad occur, but they will kill you on the inside. i think i'm almost dying on the outside. after everything, what now? living like a ghost save me from these self-inflicted wounds. what are these self-inflicted wounds? medicate these self-inflicted wounds. maybe i'm not the ghost. - what are these wounds?

9. VII[lyrics]
speak quietly, and it'll be as if i'm not even here. - say it enough times, and maybe it will come true. it seems like every time i interrupt on "nothing", i've gone and "ruined everything". you've made me a leper in the places i've called home. everyone has something dying to get out. everyone has something dying inside. behind these empty eyes, we're begging for the chance to live.
