Murmur 03:47
Wake me, take me to the trail Walk with my tail between my legs again Far away we go, that secret place we know Drench me with your soft word therapy It won’t be the first time Your demons can’t chase me now I’ve dealt with worse things You’re going down My faults confess, you’ve made this a mess You make my imperfections sting What will endure, of my state found so pure My willingness bares an end My mistakes brought to the grave There was laughter until every moment ceased Too many crossed that line, I worship what is mine Deeming every possibility
2.
You couldn’t kill me in this storm Through your verbal ways or form I’ve already died a million times I recall the awful dreams Got sick of your stupid fantasies It’s all I was to you I’m glad it’s meant to be that way A dose of pride, it tastes so real You’re someone I like to hate With all of my might and love You’re someone I like to hate My dear, I sure owe you Sleep with regrets and so called friends You’re gift to lie, it never ends Live with such dependencies Play your extraordinary game Another uphill climb and chase The only thing that sets you free I hope you’re sad and feel the same Even after all your happy pills Another dime for all the trust that you will trade Keep choking on your own mortality Your quest divine, took all the steps to plot your deed No faith restored, keep selling your ideas. You’re one percent of who you are Power of suggestion got you far Fester in denial

Amy 04:33
So it begins, the ladder falls The darkest sun, docility holds broken dolls A deeper need, through night it sailed No conscience breathed, obedience came crashing down We adhered to our sins We had to run away I wish I could be there But I can never find the words to say, love It has to be that way And I would rather see them Embrace a life that I would have betrayed, love It has to be that way I don’t want to be your scar Your strength gives in, becoming frail Grieving’s done, this reasoning has ruined it all A simpler deed, the past exhaled No patience streamed, a saddened tale Your basic fear, it sees in We had to run away
4.
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
5.
Loveheavy 03:27
Fill me up with laughter sent from another So wound up, I hate this life undercover You were everything Am I the only one to face this ever day? I don’t want to be left out in any way Can you feel it? Can you see this rushing through my veins? No one, even hell can’t stop me Soon I’ll be a star Shoot it up, the means to an end are discovered Cross this line, I’ll watch your steps like no other You were everything
6.
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
7.
Problematic 03:37
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
8.
Closer 03:35
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
9.
Sound Asleep 03:51
This marks an end From tear drops of the mind to ashes sole Your touch gave life To what has now become, a crippled spine For now, I can breath again All I have, a lifetime filled with memories Don’t be sorry, and thanks for watching over me Would you believe, I couldn’t fight this on my own? It’s here finally, thought of a better place to be So bruised, these wings I’m falling sound asleep a trail of scars Screaming at the raging wind, mad at the world Why did it choose me? It’s been a quiet room today, my soul a slave Some would say So sincere, like nothing’s wrong Just keep making these moments last It’s becoming too strong stop acting like nothing’s wrong There’s nothing else left to say It’s time to let go, leave it behind

Life Again 03:24
It’s here, we’ve reached the bend The forgotten sounds, now whispers You were my best friend, and so lovely Why must it be this way? If I could change the end somehow We’d get there surely If I could take this pain Another chance at life again If I could make your pain pass through me Just to see your smile once more Blisters to fire red The deepest of fears descend Things I can’t comprehend Make you frown just to know it’s you
