Invaders

Soon I’ll come back down
Leading on I’m safe and sound
This mind frame had its storm
Pacified till it’s begun
Been meddling for so long
Parts of me becoming drenched by every ounce
Just stare into these eyes
Voices fuel the war
Warn me I’ve been wrong
Ostracized by time alone but I just clearly want it
Tall, tall closing walls
This sad devotion marches through all
I don’t need it, resign
Will you fall, will you laugh?
Will you blame it on my fate?
Lonely hearts rarely bleed to see the sunshine
Will you crawl, will you stand?
Will you hold me till I break?
Can’t retreat, can’t just turn it off
Invaders
Countdown to the hour
Destination known
Inject the fire to pure denial and I didn’t even want it
Tall, tall burning walls
Now derailed, will crush and surround
I don’t hear it, resign

So Perfect
03:49
|
|||
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

The Inhabitants Unsound
02:43
|
|||
The pressure’s on play
Making it my own slave
A painted smile, you’re fessing up
A concept that I’ve conceived
Target, watch it sprout , confess too late
Come off this crying
Your cloak and dagger
Needing a mind of better state
The start of the line once through
Facing, this falling out of grace
To find a better way
Your words to me prove to be unsound
The weapon a shroud
Straighten up, mark it unfair
The meaning wears thin
Self-made brawl, without near restraint
Lean in, make a move, tear silently
Think it out, your troubles will dilate
Opponents fascinate

Wither
03:41
|

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

Pitter Patter

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

Jerk
03:21
|
|||
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

Far Away From Here
03:12
|
|||
Intentions turn
Desire’s deep within you
Your patience sits on the edge of a wire
Heard enough
You seem to do well on your own
It’s come over me
Take me far away from here
The shadows of our lives to be
Simple things unclear
Hide from these sore eyes to see
Far away from here
There should be a place for us to go
Endless Light years from what was once home
Malicious lure
Inner aura surfaces soon
A breathing fire, vengeance resides and still controls you
You’ve had it rough?
I’ve made myself the pray one last time
It’s come over me

Fragments Of You
03:04
|
|||
It had to be farewell
Who'd of thought that we’d allow
Such a thing to stir us far away
Though this time is damned
Right from morning, straight through the longest days
Gather pieces, pick them up someway
Reasoning can't be found
Remembered by countless fragments of you
Circling familiar grounds will only endure so much
Life through an empty shell
May have imposed myself on you
Wish I had the perfect words to say
This mirage a sham
Nothing's ever what it is meant to be
Moment seizes, wish you would have stayed

The Real You
03:50
|
|||
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?

Spitting Darts
03:02
|

Why so wired?
Pensive at this hour
Your thoughts will shift till you’re amazed
Take it all, take it apart
Just standing here and freaking out
A poisoned heart will end it’s journey just the same
Let it out
Say what you have to say
Guards are down, you're at it again
My tears for you have washed away
Can't inspire or ever erase
The greatest tale of all
Told a million ways
Think aloud
Split your mind apart
Like fighting through a crowded maze
Take it all, take it apart
now complete, you are so proud
You’re spiting darts, the truer face when you’re afraid

Veil
03:18
|
|||
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

Breathe In (Bonus Track)
03:16
|
|||
There’s a chance that it’s too late
For things to come around
Hauling out old dreams again
I can’t live by those means
I won’t see it crashing down
Got to make it go away
Breathe in
Getting through these times with grace
Moving towards the frontline
Breathe in
What I’ve undergone
Can’t go higher, phased desire
Just can’t have it all
My thoughts now interlaced
A suffocating sound
Never been the best of friends
I’m tearing at the seam
But I’m not nearly bowing out
Stand still in this hurricane
Breathe in
What a difference it could make
A simple ray of sunshine
Breathe in
What I’ve undergone

Destroy (Bonus Track)
02:47
|
|||
How many signs do you need?
We’ll show you, make your eyes bleed
This is us, we’ll come out fighting
Show your scars
Your sorry self cannot stay
Our pours are firing off steam
We told you it would be this way, no one can save you now
Black clouds and solid glare
Something’s in the air
It’s coming to get you, you can’t win
We will destroy you
Leave it to us to conceive
Ideas are flowing upstream
This is us, there is no lying
Set your fire
Full grins and teeth are clenching
Stay clear, we’re heading full speed
Our path here only ends one way, your luck’s run over now
It’s time for us now to feed
Our moral crash Is landing
We told you it would be this way, no one can save you now
