We're keeping afloat

Hanging around this sinking ship, how'd this start?
you're breaking down, and you're falling apart
Splinters of you in my skin
apart of me now, you're breaking in
Let's recover that old treasure chest
grab our memories and burn the rest
Dusting off reminders is an act so jaded
looking back at a picture now faded
So I'll rebuild you one more time
commit just one more crime
Piece by piece I put you back together
out alone in this stormy weather
I show you my weakness
but thru your eyes I'm speechless
So close those eyes, enjoy the ride
and imagine the things we'll learn tonight
"We're keeping afloat." Yeah you might be right
but everything seems so black or white
So open those eyes, see the grey
I've boarded a lifeboat, and floated away.

 Your Verdict Judge Me
 You'll always be more special
 You see her in the hallway
 Worth It?
 Who Will Cry For The Little Girl?
 When we were together
 We're keeping afloat
 untitled melodies
 Trapped
 They say
 These feelings are so damn real
 Stained glass eyes
 Same Fate?

 Life belongs to me
 Life
 Itchy bitchy
 It did to that one
 I hope when I turn my head I'll find you right beside me
 I Gave Her the Sun
 He does but not you
 Half heart
 Fallen angel
 Everything will be easier if I just had you
 Everything im not
 Everything I did was just for you
 Drifting
 Donuts & Juices
 Apart
