Manners so robotic Once at peace so bitter Patience is caving, tolerance left behind Enough for one day Getting so frantic, can't last forever Why so neurotic? as if a favour Play along, for you it's automatic But you work every means to fall someway So rub it till there's static And count the times that you were wrong For you it’s automatic Lately I see that you are one sided What set it off? Mad, makes you tough, makes you rough Sad, cause you have no proof You reside outside my head
3.
Can I ask this thing of you? I won't ask for much To relive a thing or two Thoughts I may have lost If I could fix you now and every heart you've touched In these arms you felt alone Clued in on what these times would bring I'll leave, I'll run away Where I will never be caught Clearly no choice to follow through Hope is still not enough Companion to the cold Take a long look at me now Staring at ceiling corners Light the candles here Weep as you prove me wrong I've not yet fallen I never wanted this to be the prime of my years Can I ask this thing of you? Nothing preferred as much Please just don't ever let me lose No matter what the cost An image of the past for you Through this letterbox

Should have read all the signs, thought we had best of times That had made me the fool, living it through and through Now this soul's running free, did you know? Don't feel the need to persuade you, Surfacing from this lie I don't wanna free us, I don't wanna heal us I will never cave in, I will never break No bribe, you may be so bold Just how low will you go? Make it so, let’s just break it down Enough with your stupid little secrets Who do you think you are? So let's just forget it, I've already left it I just couldn't care 'bout your stupid little secrets You, you're sensational, irreplaceable I'm infected with your heart's gold You, quite phenomenal, had me hooked right from the start A firm hold You, you're insatiable, unexplainable I'm injected with this lie's cold Here, I'm disposable You never played your part, yet I’m still loathed And when you're ready to go, I will have simply moved on Now it's my turn to play, I’ve got nothing to prove Like you’d know Shielded from remarks you throw, you're just too late My own butterfly has armed wings to testify
5.
There’s no concern, you’ll reach out from the well How you survive just beats the hell out of me You’ll wait your turn, I’ll watch you fall back down So you know the feeling I’ve got the lead, I’ll fight you tooth and nail You will not get a single thing out of me Another tear, I know the story well Push you away I'm no victim to clutches of your lair So ambitious, the brains behind this decay I'm the dealer, I'll filter you, I swear Trusted your lies that got me by a thousand times before You’ll never learn, know there is no disguise An open book that everyone can just read Revenge is earned, I beat you fair and square Now you know the feeling What is the need, no intrigue in the air It's what you'll get, there's nothing left but debris I see that fear, I know the story well Push you away This chaos redefined When dust settles, set the mark Here comes the tide So, just walk away from me You’ll drown
6.
Took the highest toll Talk about a blow in the face Set your bet, the dice keep rollin Expect no warm embrace Snapping, cursing, teeth are grinding, jolt Go and play with needled dolls Who are you? I just don't know Sucker's road to pride Oh finally feel like i'm alive Rid me of all weaker ties Seeds grew destruction with no self-restore Greed from this treason, it's infectious to need Fast pace on slow, made it to pro Glare direct from the shroud All seem to want it, freeze, need to stop it A contradiction on rules You know how to treat it, but you won’t hear it There is no real way or how Prone to let go Those heroic vows you sow It tastes like trouble from the spout Well had I known I wouldn’t have been so proud These poor acts primordial

Starborn 03:08
Starborn on the move Let's just put our lives on hold for you Starborn from above Fake of all fakes, image booming Psychologic gun Starborn love, exhilarating Raise the bar, new soul Too long you've been tailing part, tonight, alone cause we'll never wait on you Starborn has a groove Questioning your torment through and through Starborn has it tough Find your online drama soothing No damage here undone Starborn love, exhilarating Starborn love, already now, I see you run

Summit 02:51
Stylistic, idealistic, fold in and out Take it on, can you take on all that power? Realistic, pessimistic, it's always getting in the way but It won't matter, we'll set the score You're on your own The mind's too eccentric Marked as yours truly, rejected A leader drone, fully disconnected This poise is electric So cryptic, unrealistic Gone on too long Latching on, climb summits to your tower So mystic, optimistic manage to get in the way but It won't matter to me no more. Everything you say is poison All that's good you must avoid Kneeling for deceit you crafted All you hear is master's voice Stand alone, seems you've earned your own crown
9.
Monsters 02:26
Locked in this state Guarded by my sensors So out of place But made to be my home You and i have to learn You and i, watch with burning lenses No doing's wrong But you have senseless ways Happy burial Eat your heart out Face is empty Monsters have been found Straps on the floor A newfound way to hunt you Without a trace But hell, i warned you Oh no, oh no Now is no time to lose this war Don't you dare take cover for me
10.
Honey 02:51
Read through the list of my needs A virtual tour do instead? It's two ways electric You leave me hanging Such a dirty start Free from all restraints soon Full straight rounds Tasting my honey while it's whole Soon going back down From said master Sometimes, our movements slow Sometimes, take breaks to feed Now you need to be told Frail eyes, no failed rise Your acts of begging end A time for sinning
