The Truth

Hey hey
Live through it every day
I’ll tear a piece of you
Hey hey
It’s more fun this way
Stick the knife a little deeper
Well, I guess the joke’s on me
I took this way too far
Shouldn’t of let myself inside your world
Fell face down
Hey hey
Don’t you walk away
I’ll have you run around in circles
You don’t want to face the truth
Would it kill you?

Brace

It’s twice as bad, things unforeseen
Reluctant to accept whatever the circumstances may be
The guidance of different shades that’s lead me for so long
Would you help me stand?
The curtains close to my body’s end
Turn the page, many stories told
In light of the predicaments, I fall on these darkened days
Just lay down and brace yourself my love
Play pretend, make it all disappear
The worst is over now
So go on and make yourself at home
Get ready for another world
I will meet you there
Empty spaces on canvas is all
Who would I be to let you carry the weight of my silence?
The grown-up steps I longed for
I can’t give them to someone else
Empty, on and on
Just lay down and brace yourself my love
Play pretend, make it all disappear
The door is open now
It’s so beautiful, it’s like I’m home
Time to let go, just let me go
I will meet you there

Admit One
04:13

There was a time your kindness seemed absurd to me
Now fewer moments left to breathe
On top a flight of stairs
My mind is still awake
Seems like forever that I've been here
A wounded sky, so electric now it bleeds
A picture frame, here as a child playing in the leaves
Where greater evils lie
The illusion that saves us
Simply incomplete
I ponder on our yesterdays
These trembling arms embrace a place I've never been
So here it is, I’m a survivor
If actions speak so well
It's all I need to know.
No real change, just go easy on yourself
Take a break from tragedy
I've been dealt this hand
Sure made it hard to step forward
Never seizes to amaze me
My turn is up, I’ll see you someday
This helpless body takes the fold
I’ve had enough, it's time to face it
No more room for last goodbyes
It’s just farewell.

You Of Today
03:24
|
|||
A couple of hours to wait
Taking the time now to contemplate
Get in the car, taste your evening pearls, and surrender
Wish I could erase it
Once made the fool there’s not much to offer
We stand in line just to face it
Cut through the diamonds, divest our crown
Was I your favorite replacement?
I don’t need this love to keep me sound from shame
Reaching inside again
I’ve been so cold to you, the lucid mimes
I was confident, begged you to stay
But you had roads to choose, your hidden vows
Still think I’ve got much to lose
Each our lives wouldn’t fit here
When is it over?
Clearly, it’s always the listener’s point of view.

Speak
03:17
|

Clear my throat, straight out come the words
This time it might last for hours
Never amounted to anything but it suits you
You’re quite the nag, you are the disease, how wonderful a trait
I’m rage and I’ve got my fist in a knot, see you caving in
Here come your answers
That’s just the way it goes
I hope I made you feel you feel bad
That’s just the way it goes
Keep your collar on
You’re so unreliable, yet so undeniable
Watching you fold until you speak, you’re stuck with me
Think you’re a star, well that’s o.k.
I’ll crush your thoughts, crush your bones, smirk and wave
First base, I’m always on, the strength you lost to trick me
I’m rage and I’ve got my fist in a knot, see you caving in
Here come your answers
You’ve lost your name
I’m all you’ve got, you will say nothing
I’ll have you trained to be, a mat for servants feet
Lungs are full, this time it’ll last for hours
You’re like the plague, you’re like a disease, you better run
I’m done with answers.

Misery's On The Outside
02:10
|
|||
(Words by Catherine Sugrue)
Forever an angel to me
As you hold your hand in mine
A beautiful soul encased
You never cease to shine
Misery’s on the outside
Corroded by the storm
There’s no need for solace dear
Our friendship’s safe and warm
And as your destiny unfolds
Like a strung out lullaby
Through everything, surrounds you
I’ll stick by your side

Spire
03:42
|
|||
It’s not what you said
It’s the way you won so carelessly
Your wish resolved, not another word again
And when all failed, you spoke the truth so blatantly
We never crashed in hope’s field
I’m unarmed, alone.
But I’m not afraid
Let’s face it, you’ll never give in
You’ll waste it
Seems like it’s always about what is right for you
You set this straight
Display what’s left of your decency
Best left unsaid, I see right through your miserere, your show
Break this spire
I’ve spent a lifetime making sense of our engage
Left as a crying shoulder trapped inside your cage

For What It's Worth
03:04
|
|||
You are the news, bad bones, sedated
You're pulling straws to win your confidence
What have you done?
Where are you running?
Stop looking down, the bridge is burning anyway
Ready to explode, but I’d do anything to face you
I’m half as brave as I used to be
Just stuck my feet back in the water
I’ll find a way and I’ll pave every bit for what it’s worth to me
You set the fire when you called my name
That was a big mistake
You seem so pale, a dripping frown, divine
Let the devil in
Let him in to chase your tail
You’re on the ground, sick to your spine
Standing on the edge and I’ll do anything to reach you
There's no divide, walk right through the blaze

The Last Time
03:53
|
|||
After the stars have faded
Watching them fall, have they lost their wings?
Washing the scars
You offered me protection
Silently leaning over
What if that day
I could just say to you, after all we’ve been through
Goodbye friend
If this were the last time, I wouldn’t resist to love
For the moment only, a beautiful sleep
But I’ll be there
Consumed by the hold that takes me
The gentlest response, a request well known
No cause for alarm
This guilt will disarm
You graced me with direction
Silently leaning over
Puzzled by things we cannot break down
The heart draws a weight, simply confound
Outlining the message clearly
Bound by the weakness, surrendering

Belong
03:21
|

You don't have to be afraid
Just thought I'd let you know
You don't have to be afraid
You see, this love will never die
The chilling signs have us gasping now each time you breathe
What our poisoned minds believe
No need for heroes
Look deep inside of you
But melancholy’s strong, there are tough times ahead
We’re back to zero
Things I will guide you through
Since there is no other place I know you'd rather belong
It doesn't have to be today
But self-destruction needs to go
A tender heart that can be saved
You see, this love can never die
I don't care what was said, it's all irrelevant
We’re here now, refuse to leave
I don't want to be the one
Walking outside the lines
I'm sick of being a slave to this dark cloud
I don't want to be the one
The perfect alibi
You’ll never know the meaning of this fear
