Bury Me There
04:01
|
|||
|
I’ve been walking for weeks, brush the sweat off my own shoulder,
I’ve been running way too long to find that I’m alone.
I’ve tried to stop myself, but I’ve stepped into what I never,
Thought I would ever embrace in place of what I’ve known.
I’ve watched so many people fall around me,
But as they dive in I find myself falling too.
The breath that leaves my lips seems to be the only warm thing,
That is left in this cold world as I walk alone.
CHORUS:
Love will bear on its own, love will carry me there.
Love will bear on its own, love will bury me there.
Take a look at you now, you have no one, you have nothing,
You’re stuck in a world where no one knows who you are.
It seems as time goes on what seemed better now destroys you,
Now you really know what its like to be alone.
CHORUS
You will find it if you seek it,
You don’t have to be alone,
Don’t try to be so undefeated,
Take a step down from the throne.
CHORUS

Hey, why not be the same?
I’m fakin’ my words just to fit your game.
You’re sure the world’s view is the cure,
When you hide the feelings that once pumped through your veins.
Well, I can tell you now honey you’re just being a fool,
When you’re fighting it just to be cool,
No one’s here, baby, no one’s here to see that we’re all alone.
Well, I promise I’m not tryin’ to be rash,
But why waste your time lookin’ at all that trash,
When you know you’ve just been settlin’ since me? Oh.
CHORUS:
If you feel it then let it show,
Don’t fight back, just go,
No one has to know,
That our love just might grow again.
You think too much ‘bout what they say,
and it pushes you the other way, don’t play,
It’s okay to let that old love grow again.
Hey, remember how I taste? Huh.
Don’t let this good time go to waste.
You know, I put on quite a show,
When we used to let our bodies set the pace, yeah.
I can see it in your eyes,
You try not to stare when you’re in disguise,
Convince yourself that it’s better just to let it slide.
But I won’t always be waitin’ while you’re downgradin’,
Who made a rule against reinvigorating?
Come on, put your precious ego aside, yeah.
CHORUS
Let’s move on together,
We can leave this place behind.
We can groove together,
Let’s let it come undone, now is the time.

Paralyzed
04:08
|
|||
|
Years ago I ruined a boy,
Took the heart upon his sleeve then I threw it on the floor.
Since then I’ve been ruined by men,
Let them take what they want, then I do it again.
I’m in a cycle of breaking hearts and being broken,
I’m sucked in once another opportunity opens,
Give me a reason to believe that someday this will stop.
I’d rather be a fool if I could,
Start again and sacrifice the past for my own good.
Now I’m stuck with what I’ve become,
Never thought into false hope I’d ever succumb.
Wish that I can go back and refuse to spread so thin,
Wouldn’t have let so many strangers come in,
I want to be able to believe that someday I could stop.
CHORUS 1:
I’m so paralyzed I can’t feel a thing,
I’m so closed.
Do you know a remedy for me?
Show me if you know.
He says he wants to get close to me,
He heard my blood crying out so loud from the ground.
Maybe he could bring some peace to me,
Create a place where I could be safe and sound.
But time has got me confined and imprisoned in one place,
Though I hope one day I can use it to erase,
The pain from all the things that I should’ve stopped before they had begun.
CHORUS 2:
I’m so paralyzed I can’t feel a thing,
(I promise I am not like them)
I’m so closed.
(And with my heart you’ll start again)
Do you know a remedy for me?
(I’ll hold you close I understand)
Show me if you know.
(Before you’re gone please take my hand)
(repeat CHORUS 2)

Change Your Mind
03:39
|
|||
|
You bleed into my dreams,
You’re in everything I see.
I want to fall into my own weakness,
No, I don’t want to push it away.
You write those words,
Much sweeter than you can speak them,
I gave you it all,
But you would rather throw it away.
CHORUS:
Change your mind,
And you know that I’ll change mine, baby.
Don’t you know my heart is froze in my chest?
I can’t let go, why can’t you take in what I feel?
Don’t suppress me, don’t shut me down,
Tell me you miss me hanging around.
You pretend like you care that you broke me,
But I don’t need your sympathy,
What I need is what we were.
Please don’t explain your reasoning again,
I don’t want to believe that we have reached the end.
CHORUS x2

Hemlock Smile
04:10
|
|||
|
It’s hard to care about the world when I’m dreaming instead,
I entertain my feelings with thoughts of being in your head.
My mind is leaking and I don’t want nobody to see,
Hurry and grab these shadows before they start to leave me.
CHORUS 1:
Your nerves are hanging by a wire,
Tryin’ so hard to hide the fire,
Or maybe you’re just a damn liar,
We don’t always see the poison
Behind these faces and their hemlock smiles.
I once came across a man who lived his life in his head,
He hid everything behind feelings he claimed were dead.
Later on he found a girl who brought a gleam to his eye,
Nailed to the past his foolishness let her walk by.
CHORUS 1
Everybody’s got their poison x12
CHORUS 2:
My nerves are hanging by a wire,
Tryin’ so hard to hide the fire,
Or maybe I’m just a damn liar,
They don’t always see the poison
Behind my face and its hemlock smile.

How I Feel
05:37
|
|||
|
You took me by the hand and you looked me in the eye,
You said “darling listen ‘cause this ain’t no lie,
I’ve been really thinking and I think it’s time,
To make sure you don’t go out of my life.”
Then I felt something short of happiness,
That I just couldn’t bring to my lips,
So I nodded and I said yes,
Who would’ve known that I would feel less?
CHORUS 1:
I don’t really know how I feel,
When you say that I’m your own,
‘Cause I know that I should be satisfied,
As if there’s nothing more to life,
But I just don’t see it going that way.
Instead of saying something I kept it on the shelf,
‘Cause baby isn’t this something I need to cope with myself?
Two hearts can’t aid to the brokenness of one,
Just like the rain can’t bring flames to the sun.
But now you see straight through my eyes,
And I realize I can no longer hide behind these lies,
So I think that it’s time to let it go,
And tell you what you deserve to know.
CHORUS 1
But I want you to know that there’s someone out there,
Better than me for you.
And when you find her you’ll finder a greater love
Than you ever knew.
So darling don’t waste one more tear,
‘Cause soon enough you’ll see your happiness is near.
CHORUS 2:
I don’t really know how I feel,
When you say that I’m your own,
‘Cause I know that I should be satisfied,
As if there’s nothing more to life,
But I know you’ll find her one day.

I love you because I can’t have him,
I should really let you go.
My selfishness can’t seem to understand,
That I shouldn’t treat you so.
It was in the morning when I was feeling,
What I couldn’t start believing,
The night could not cure it once again.
I find myself dreamin’ up what I knew
Before I even laid eyes on you,
Even my sleeping mind can’t let him go.
CHORUS:
Now tell me this ain’t what you’ve been afraid of,
Now tell me this ain’t what you fear.
Now tell me this ain’t what you’ve been afraid of,
Now tell me this ain’t what you fear.
I love you because I can’t have him,
I should really let you go.
My selfishness can’t seem to understand,
That I shouldn’t treat you so.
It was in the morning when I was feeling,
What I couldn’t start believing,
The night could not cure it once again.
I find myself dreamin’ up what I knew
Before I even laid eyes on you,
Even my sleeping mind can’t let him go.
My body’s achin’ mind is breakin’
To find the words you’ll find worth takin’,
Your stubborn brain is geared one way,
You blind yourself to each word I say.
So don’t tell me this is new to you,
When I repeat once again that we are through,
I told you twice and I’ll tell you again,
That I’ll never see you the way I see him.
CHORUS
I love you because I can’t have him,
I should really let you go.
My selfishness can’t seem to understand,
That I shouldn’t treat you so.

Sunken City
04:38
|
|||
|
My heart in love with a lonely place,
My life in lines on my face,
Living in memories I knew those days,
But no one’s here to see them.
I brought my stride to a broken road,
Marked with colors, an endless ode,
Nothing but an ocean’s voice for me to hear,
And I will stop to listen.
Sitting on the edge, sea below me,
Abandoned all so pleasantly,
And in this moment I am assured,
That for now I belong here.
CHORUS 1:
I’ll break it loose, someday I will,
I feel it move while I am still,
I can’t move on until I see,
That what I need is right here in front of me.
CHORUS 2:
I’ll break it loose, someday I will,
I feel it move as I lie still,
Take time to cast your thoughts aside,
Or make them come alive.
And if it’s worth a pity,
Take me to Sunken City.
And if I’m worth your pity,
Take me, take me to Sunken City.

Lying broken, he’s in my head,
Living only off the words he said,
Took it all he’s left me dead,
But he’ll ignore it when he’s in her bed.
Too late to say what it means to me,
He left me out to get lost at sea,
Won’t even check the shores where I might be,
Took what he needed, took time to flee.
I’ve seen you driving and riding by,
And still I seem to catch your eye,
Won’t look away, I’m feeling high,
Then you’re gone leaving me to dry.
I’ve broken once now I’m broken again,
Lost a love, now I’ve lost a friend,
For only you the rules will bend,
You took it all, now it’s the end.

Hype Song
05:08

|
The heat from pure intimidation,
I feed off of a live sensation,
Breaking from a cautious, timid generation,
Where all surrender to the hint of faint abrasion.
You like to talk about your freedom,
But comfort gives another reason,
Your purpose shadowed by worthless self-treason,
Doing nothing more than moving and breathing.
Can’t give in to the sight of a restriction,
Won’t give in to a false internal friction,
Won’t let my purpose slide to dereliction,
Keep on going ’til it turns into addiction.
CHORUS:
I don’t wanna be like them,
They give up, but I’ll keep trying,
Keep saying silly words my friend,
But none of them are worth buying. x2
People want to get in just to get out,
The people with the power forgetting what it’s all about.
I don’t know about you but I have no doubt,
That it’s time to bring an oasis to this growing drought.
You like to make up excuses,
Money seems to hide all the bruises,
Are you happy now that you’ve ignored the muses?
Time is ticking so you better reignite the fuses.
Can’t give into that confabulation,
Won’t give into the devils of this nation,
Won’t let my purpose slide to dereliction,
Keep on going ’til it turns into addiction.
CHORUS x2

Stone
05:03

Tell me what it’s like to live in fear,
Tell me what it’s like to have it so near,
But it’s you who’s allowed it to be here,
So it seems the cause lies in the mirror.
I feel the ground move underneath me,
I’ve been thrown into a dream,
Then reality takes me back suddenly,
They both fight over me.
I feel a chill underneath my skin,
My body’s twitching, my hands are frozen,
Though I’m not alone in this room,
It’s only me who can feel this doom.
My body is nailed to the floor,
As my innocence runs out the door,
Hope it will come back to find me someday,
Bring back the light to my face.
But right now there’s nowhere to go,
There’s so much more I don’t want them to know,
Don’t know when I’ll break out, Don’t know where,
I say to myself as if they cared.
If they take me,
You won’t know,
’Til you find me,
Down below.
Please don’t touch me,
I won’t go,
Leave my body,
By the stone.

Surrounded In Blue
05:17
|
|||
|
I want to be taken away to another place,
I found one in my mind.
But if it isn’t real, does it matter?
Couldn’t be real, but I can take you there.
Can you see it too?
I’m overwhelmed by this delicate view.
Fragile as the river moves me,
It sweeps me away.
CHORUS 1:
So for now let me believe,
In a peace that I can keep,
So cradle me.
In this moment let me stay,
And let me take in the embrace,
Until I wake.
I’m here where you are,
I see your face in the trace of the sun.
And to you I run, to your arms where I belong,
And I will come with you.
Surrounded in blue,
Away from all I once thought was true,
Your words feed my longing fully,
And I am swept away.
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2:
So forever I’ll believe,
In this peace that I can keep,
So cradle me.
From this moment let me stay,
And let me take in your embrace,
Until I wake.
From this moment let me stay,
And let me take in your embrace,
I’ve been awake.
