Fear Lives Here
03:51
|
|||
|
Inhabited by a cry
Fear lives through me
Anger eats me up
I don’t want to be
A speckle of dust
On your dirty sleeve
Someone you’d trust
But still choose to leave
Behind my words
There’s a world untold
I simmer and rust
Like I’m untouchable
Feed me, feed my emptiness
Need me, need the openness
Fool me, fool my silliness
Choose me, give me tenderness
This time and place
Is an eerie space
Between blinks of an eye
And your shaking breaths
Fill my mouth with sweetness
Touch my skin, it’s reckless
Hit that ceiling of moisture
Slip right into my vessel
Feed me, feed my emptiness
Need me, need the openness
Fool me, fool my silliness
Choose me, give me tenderness

Starlight

They see your light
And try to smother it
They hear your song
They want to kill it
They look at you
They keep on wondering how
You’re still reaching for those heights
They’ve always dreamt of
But they’re not climbing
They dare not try
You’ve got this
Don’t blink for too long
Look forward
You are so close
You’ve got this
You’re almost there,
Just trust it
Don’t you let go
I know you’re scared
You’re not alone
Thirsty for your pain
It’s driving them insane that you’re trying
Eager to reign
They want to rule over your body
Are you in chains
No more restraints
Just run over anybody
Who stands in your way

No Place To Hide
03:06
|
|||
|
Like a feather in the wind
whisper softly from within
I am easy, light and thin
no one hears me as I spin
You spin me round
I am not bound
to the ground
I make no sound
I am everything and nothing
there’s no place to hide
you’re a natural disaster
and you’re stuck inside my mind
treat me kindly
spin me gently
kiss my lips
won’t make a sound
I grow weaker
when you’re near me
give yourself
I’m yours to hold
swear you’ll treat me better
than those before you
say that you won’t break me
I’ve fallen for you

You never saw yourself
The way that I see you
You never believed
That you deserved more than this
Why are you so afraid
Of something new
You don’t need to
See the world in brightest colours
I know that you’ve been hurting for too long
For too long
To be able to see
What I see when I look at you
Let go of the past self inflicted pain at last
These thoughts are just angry demons on you chest
They eat your up, they spit you out
You have got so much light deep inside
Let go of the past self inflicted pain
These thoughts are just angry demons
They eat your up, they spit you out
You have got so much light deep inside
I see the real you
I see the real you
I see the real you
I see the real you
I see the real you
I see the real you
I see the real you
I see the real you
let go of your past
let go of your past

Eyes On Fire
03:49
|
|||
|
My eyes are on fire
They’re burning for her
Well I’m feeling the heat from her every word
cold is still bitting
it bites like a lion
I’ll just take it and tell her I’m alright
thirst is never ending
And I sip for a breath
The high that leaves you angry
And rolling down with death
Over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over, over again
I’m falling
Lying here scratching at nightmare
I’m selling my dreams
I'm never upset for the reason it might seem
I'm trading my visions
My sorries won't track
I'm trying, I’m trying and buying all my dreams back
Over and over and over and over, over again
Over and over and over and over, over again
I’m falling
her eyes are on fire
they’re filled with desire
I’m burning red
can’t seem to get her out my head
her eyes are on fire
they’re filled with desire
She’s breaking my heart
and I can’t seem to piece it back again
Over and over and over and over, over again
Over and over and over and over, over again
I’m falling

Reign Over Me
04:53
|
|||
|
pale and cold
a view untold
it screams for me
chants follow the
void of your eyes
a massive disguise
of secrets on hold
your mirror unfolds
red on your face
red your embrace
(exhale and inhale
while you part with this trail
your heaviness
slips into my ears)
and there it rests
there it breeds
trick my fear
your whisper near
I swallow thy pain
till darkness will reign
your mush is so fraille
it trembles and tears
your skin is a a sin
unseen as it flares
red on your face
red your embrace
reign over me, reign, over me

Deep End
03:24
|
|||
|
Rage my insides
You spare no corner
Make me unhinged
Emotional hoarder
We’re parted by the sea
Unforeseen casualties
Gruesome random novelty
Ruthless and violent
This feeling we’re after
Cares not for kindness
Greatest release
You bind me
Tear me apart
From the inside out
Greatest release
You bind me
Tear me apart
From the inside out
Flow through me
Sweet river
Flow through me
We're cursed to hold on tight
This cruel wave cuts deep, bleeds me out
I can’t be without you
Greatest release
You bind me
Tear me apart
From the inside out
Greatest release
You bind me
Tear me apart
From the inside out
Flow through me
Sweet river
Flow through me
Flow through me
Flow through me
Flow through me

Those Who've Tasted
03:41
|
|||
|
Entangle all my wires
You make me obsolete
Relieve me of my sorrow
And when you say
I have this warmth inside me
Back and forth
The things that we resort to
Between panic and surrender
Desire and disillusionment
We forgo all of these notions
We had of love
It’s hot and cold
Can’t get a hold
Of the one I used to be
I’m torn apart
My broken heart
Relief this ache inside of me
It’s hot and cold
Can’t get a hold
Of the one I used to be
I’m torn apart
My broken heart
Relief this ache inside of me
Grab me and throw me
Into the abyss
This bottomless feeling
You’ve triggered this itch
Come undone
Defenceless
Don’t let go
I’ll fall and crawl
(Come undone)
Grab me and throw me into the abyss
Grab me and throw me into the abyss
I'm torn apart, my broken heart
I'm torn apart
I'm torn apart, my broken heart
Relieve this ache inside of me

Chasing Shadows
03:42
|

|
Don’t feel quite like a grownup
Just like a kid that’s playing dressup
I walk in someone else’s shoes
My life's been on a holdup
Oh, you see the path I have crossed
The footprints I’ve left behind
You see the narrowing road
But please don’t try to rewind
I got issues, it’s what they tell me
When they look into my empty eyes
Nothing does it quite like it used to
Nothing makes me feel as warm inside
I got issues
You see the laughter we had
All the tears in our eyes
You see my naked body
Behind my chilling disguise
And I know it
That you love me
I can still feel all of it inside
Please take comfort, I still feel it
I still think you made me better, better
Made me better, better
I got issues, it’s what they tell me
When they look into my empty eyes
Nothing does it quite like it used to
Nothing makes me feel as warm inside
I got issues, it’s what they tell me
When they look into my empty eyes
Nothing does it like it used to
Nothing makes me feel
the way you do
the way you do
the way you do
the way you do
I got issues
I got issues
I got issues
I got issues
I got issues
Nothing does it like it used to

Neon Dreams

Neon lights
Reflecting in your eyes
Midnight talks
Underneath the skies
Hand in hand
In this crazy land
In our world
Where our dreams expand

Don't Look Back

Did scary movies teach you nothing
You used to watch them as kid
You fool, I thought that you knew better
Cause darkness lurks, so don’t look back
We’re made of confusion
Your eyes an intrusion
You’ve broken and entered
You’re a wild perpetrator
We’re made of confusion
Your eyes an intrusion
You’ve broken and entered
You’re a wild perpetrator
Did scary movies teach you nothing
You used to watch them as kid
You fool, I thought that you knew better
Cause darkness lurks, so don’t look back

Clutter
02:53
|
|||
|
I walk these streets alone
The houses look so very small
Your shadow follows me around
I walk these streets alone
My mind is always haunted
My thoughts, they never die
They won’t quite down
They keep on fighting me
It’s cruel and it’s unkind
The way you make me feel
I’m never gonna be
The same again
I’ve tried pretending they’re not there
These thoughts they’re trying not to stare at you
But that is all they do
I’ve tried pretending they’re not there
You gaze into my eyes
Nothing works, it never dies

Oath

had the worst dream
you weren’t yourself
nothing felt right
looked away for a second
door was open
you were gone
where have you gone to?
you got my heart
left with no notice
please bring it back
or if you keep it
be kind to it
don’t crush it
I still need it
I still need it to love
so please keep it safe
I still need it to love
be kind to me
you’d see the real me
watched me ugly cry
made everything feel alright
you’d hear me out
like no one ever did
what are we to each-other
still got my heart
left with no notice
please bring it back
or if you keep it
be kind to it
don’t you crush it
I still need it
I still need it to love
please
I still need it to love
be kind to me
be kind to me
be kind to me
be kind to me

Mother

|
I’m here, can you see me?
do you hear when I scream?
I shout, you’re not near me
burried all of thy will
you’re hurting inside
and it’s spilling all over
your love is obscene
it’s a dirty machine
sullied and swallowed
these muddy waters
your affection so shallow
all I’m left with is hollow
hold me, please
give me ease
I’m dying
don’t disappear
hold me, please
give me ease
I’m trying
please don’t disappear
your twisted fate
consumes my soul
your ghostly arms
thy eerie hold
the terror and pain
I suffer in vain
your affliction
has drained me
sullied and swallowed
these muddy waters
your affection so shallow
all I’m left with is hollow
hold me, please
give me ease
I’m dying
don’t disappear
hold me, please
give me ease
I’m trying
please don’t disappear
hold me, please
hold me, please
hold me, please
hold me, please
