Emery "Playing With Fire"
Pardon me for saying so but you look more pitiful
Than I have ever imagined
Despite perfect fashion
And the photographs depict you so differently
I always thought you would be, some sort of match for me
So let's decide who can survive
Stomping feet and racing beats
Of hearts that don't ever slow
Then I'll write letters on white paper
Expressing my deep disappointment
Dripping where I stand from my watery hands
Hoping to get passed the open bedroom door
With her clothes on the floor
Remind me of our conversations
The feeling of slight hesitation
To turn out the lights
14 days now since we started
To complicate the situation
I'm not hiding,
I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door
We will come out when it's safe for us
There's nothing left to say
To excuse the way that I've behaved
I still feel him gripping like a stain to this fabric
Torn in every seam
Then thrown away
(Don't believe me when I say it's over. By the time it's all uncovered)
One without regret, I will not forget
One without regret, I will not forget
Kill me.
Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes?
You were there with every promise made to break
When did you become the one without regret?
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget
When did you become the one without regret?
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget

Emery "Returning The Smile You Have Had From The Start"
You wanted to know if
If it was worth the pain that it has caused us.
Both our lives - subtract one life
To know why it was you deserved this
As simple as I can
I'll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen
And where it will leave us now
As your body lets you die,
And I sit here still alive
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
The fluid in your lungs
That tells you you're losing, stop breathing
The medicine that comes will fix you
Will help you but takes you from conscious to sleep
Place my hands to face and weep
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
Something beautiful
Something torn from my hands
I'm not ready for you to die
(I can't leave here like this, get away from her)
This day will end with a life complete
(that is not all that she was. I don't want to say goodbye yet)
This day will end with a life complete
My closest friend here in front of me
You wanted to know if
If it was worth the pain that it has caused us.
Both our lives - subtract one life
To know why it was you deserved this
They are songs 2 and 3 on the new cd 'The Question'.
