Veil 03:18
lyrics
buy track
A quick stare as if it were a loaded gun Now worse, I’m jaded I meant to break all ties but I’ve finally reached the bend You feel the need This temper’s like a disease I won’t break, you’ve shown me how it’s really done Just like you’ve stated I won’t ever be held down Proving what you are is simply monotone I don’t want to be left out again Rid me of this veil I don’t want to be left out I’ll trade for something real A mere taste, it kills you, now you’re on the run Till it has faded Just one look from those eyes and I face a moment’s end You steal, you feed My aching to be released A set fate, looking out for number one A point well taken I won’t ever be held down I won’t mend to your sarcastic undertones Fought fair, it seems you went from all to none It’s self-created Survival is implied, now it really does depend

Jerk 03:21
lyrics
buy track
A headache gained, living through the masquerades Our thoughts are disconnecting soon A climbing doom, our own worlds apart Never thrived on driving you away So here we are with each other I can’t believe the things that I’ve put you through I was a jerk like so many others But every day I keep falling for you You called my game and to me it was all the same Left in the dust, misleading you This time’s for real, no more words to spare I’ll never let you go again So here we are with each other I can’t believe the shit that I’ve put you through I was a jerk like all of the others But to this day I’m still falling for you

Give (Remix) 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Hold your goodbyes, we made you brave Took our whole lives to rid the cradle, to this day So apt to gain from the choices we made After all no comfort found, Proof from the tears that still surround your letter I would give it all to you It’s needless to say I’d be there I would give it all to you Part of me dies, but I’ll still hang on Cause we held you. With every hour you found the truth Culled from notes, the samples of remembered youth Right till the moment on the doorstep, we tried. Twenty years still in the womb, Rest of our time becoming soon, forever. Inside this room, we laughed insane Re-acting the wonders. Made up to redeem my failures Found answers from the inside But I’ve hit the wall this time I beg of you, be my friend.

The Real You 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Give us the word, you are convincing How many hands of theirs have strings? How many masks have you collected? Your puppets sing, you are the king This is your stage, your name, your home, the real you The light is red, please feed us a dream This, the permanent reflection I see you staring from the corner I’m the one you sell, they’ll know me so well Have you been yourself before? This, the shell of my perfection Body of one, blessed to be so loved Stay away from me, you will be safer Is it all worth it and what you made it up to be?

Before You Go (Remix) 03:38
lyrics
buy track
When morning came it felt so wrong You’d be standing by the phone Let it sit in your mind and rewind it There was no ease from the fainted lies It crushed you, but it gave you something In the end you wouldn’t believe, forgiving was a weakness Why won’t it go away? Here we are, the reasons for Search a million miles a day Living by the memories created We never said much, but it didn’t mean a thing at all Feels I couldn’t miss you more I’ll wait. Lie awake, I play our song Pictures covering the wall Here comes the breeze to relieve my fixation It’s been quiet for so long It sought you, but it gave you something Still you could not believe, giving was the greatness Welcome to the memories We had it all

Wither 03:41
lyrics
buy track
We were two lovers With the same self-destruction And then all aspirations stowed Hence it is colder The drama ends a debate It is so exhausting when no one hears you scream What's the matter with me? What's the matter with you? So wishful when you reached the top and fell Oh can I be the one to carry the weight of your silence? This re-negotiation will unfold Stuck here in second place Hating myself to be loved by you So let's go at it backwards If you change, I'll be gone So let's forget about it And just wash the damage away I'd rather be nothing than be just like you I'll stay out of harm's way Healing time a friend I shed, am validated You have torn me down

Rusted To The Rails 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Haunting notions see your name So consumed by disbelief I cannot phase Would you have wanted me by your side? Please forgive me, I’m a stranger to myself With what I’m subjected, I feel such shame A note to self Underlying the things I shouldn’t have failed Rusted to the rails There will be a time when this nostalgia will find such sorrow Dread the curse of things to be Took measures worth the length of one whole century Comes the beauty of deception Say I’m not alone, numb me with comfort I’m so scared for you You faced a war, the genesis of nothing more

Pitter Patter 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Wear your conscience gown You set up the fences Step up to your mound, a mental sore Now you’ve paced too far Thought that you could simply fool a player A past need has now turned hungry Read the beaming sensor Fired up, now find a measure Best times are under pressure For once just mean it Just speak your mind right now So let’s break it down These poor acts are senseless Love your voice’s sound, the centre core Bring you up to par Think that you will need more than a prayer Your running mouth’s not worth a penny

Safer (Remix) 03:34
lyrics
buy track
Downwards is where I’m going It’s a place I’ve made my home Need to figure out the things that I will say to you Well, I just want to make it real I’ve been down that road before I am tired out, wish I could just decide You and I, not the same as before Can’t stop screaming from the inside Since you’ve gone, you’re still the one I adore I wish you well, but I miss you so Our points of view, never clarified We always dealt with things that way I have no trust in all the things that you have said and done for me I’ve been down that road before I am tired out, sick of just getting by

So Perfect 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Are you sad? Shoulder to cry on? Pat on the back, oh you couldn't resist For a cost, two hearts will beat Find a friend amongst the dead I will do it any way Tear you from the inside, overcome I will do it any way You're so perfect for me You're so perfect but I don't I want you Lasted the night, midnight is calm Bite into the past as it reels you in Can’t allow a moment too weak Scream alone, sink deep in your bed So you see, you killed me Not even a care, reset the hour

Problematic 03:37
lyrics
buy track
What do I get? The secrets are untold What do I get from you? your dirty, dirty soul I’ve nothing to lose here, no cares if I drift away Time is already up for borrowed happiness You’re all that you are Letting down your barriers You’re all that you are Not a chance for changes Why make things so problematic? Filter out serenity Providence is so dramatic Channel this hate within me It’s more than a scar Why do I love the love that hurts me? Why does it love me? It’s strange You can’t bare to feel alone Gain control, let it serenade your senses

Closer 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Debris of comfort I once had We shared a life not meant for me, unknown I stand guard and reach down under The fear of what might sooth me I don’t need your words and sympathy I just want you here with me Bring me one step closer And I just wanted you to see another side of me But I’ve got so much to lose So kind within that hallow shell Emblazed, you sought to use my insecurities, learned them Each stood far, a path we’ll never know Now thankful that it’s over I am afraid there is nothing I can solve Risking all I have right now It’s so hard to fathom How we’d start it all again I don’t need your facts and secrecy The sole desire I seek Take one step

Life I Choose 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Lately, by the window is where I’ve been Triggering a smile at the thought of you Never really found, had to turn around Could’ve fixed things with time With every passing breath This is the life I choose In any case there lies deceit You lent your fingers my skin to do the talking The morning breeze walked in like a need To borrow these bones, make me stand Well, I finally found a reason to say I don’t belong here Wandered aimlessly, no rest or relief Clenching to bars of moral urgency

All The Pretty Flowers 03:33
lyrics
buy track
All the times you tell me I’m insane Well, I wonder who’s gonna be the one you’ll tame today Your novelty is long over worn You’re not the shangri-la that you once were Don’t you try to shove yourself on me Cause my mind is mine and you know it’ll always be I’ve lived behind your disguise that brings terror to the hypnotized All the pretty flowers in your hair All the little games you play All the pretty flowers in your hair I know they’re not for me All the dreams in your head. It’s not for me your bitchin’ little world You’re not supposed to cry until you’re burned You’ve got weak men jumping to find the right words to say Superficial love will always come your way Now you’re crying like you’ve just been used Cause prince charming never read your rules
