Whispers 03:15
You could say it’s all come to an end We both know there’s nothing left To hold on to I keep no secrets from my superiors Follow me here I promise you’ll get a thrill I’m so sorry My hands are tied But there’s little to worry about You’re on your own In this hole It has come to my attention We’ve got a stranger here We like to exploit We’ll have our fun with you We’ll have it any way we want Everything you’ve ever said, everything we’ve ever done It’s come to this day And I don’t have to tell you You walking around makes me sick Another Another step in the wrong direction That’s what I call entertainment But I have to admit I still have some worries about you What if you walk out of here alive? It has come to my attention We’ve got a stranger here We like to exploit We’ll have our fun with you We’ll have it any way we want The biggest jokers of the world Drowning in our own filth The biggest jokers of the world

Fluorescence 03:14
Are you having fun when we run from ourselves the way we do we keep our distance still thinking and believing this is just a test But we want what we want the body won't listen even if the mind's afloat Every step of the way all we can do is doubt I wonder Can I just steal another touch But we want what we want the body won't listen even if the mind's afloat Don't lure me down the hall I've been there before And guess what Here comes the new judge and guess who will lose their head But we want what we want the body won't listen even if the mind's afloat And I want what I want And I won't listen no

Fool's Gold 03:15
A lack of kindness And restrain Now look at you Walk my way I know how to play this game, Don’t you? Are you ready to test my aim? ‘Cause I look at you and I see Just another leach in the drain Another weak link In the chain Now spread your wings Why are you afraid? Yeah I know its high enough for all of us But come one now Show me where do you hide Black-swanning around Though I think I think you’ve gone too far For I found No friend In your eye Now spread your wings Why are you afraid? I thought you could get higher Than the rest of us Come on now Teach me a lesson I am listening This time it comes as no surprise we’re both losing sight We hide secrets from ourselves Commit your wings We’ll shower you in gold of your choice But fool me not, fool me not you won’t fool me twice I’ll show you some restrain

Petrichor 03:42
It’s strange To be back here Still holding the key To no place at all Blank stare, it’s nothing I can face I need help But no one comes to mind Can I make it home by the end of fall? Will there be love at my door Or illusion I don’t know And it’s not worth it Fighting now When all the leaves have fallen Pain all inclusive And the goddamn rain I could save you if only I could move Can I make it home by the end of fall? Will there be love at my door Or illusion I don’t know I'm unforgiven, or regret ridden Heartbroken, but not alone I hope Help me I'm alone Can I make it home by the end of fall? Will there be love at my door Or illusion I don’t know

Comatose 03:46
Calm down Don’t try to fight it The time has come Sweet Comatose In this place Keep it quiet There’s only so much I can do for you In another life I could keep you darling Just like before But one of these days I would have to make a choice And be the one to cut cord and let you go To fall on your own Like you deserve My mind is a mess And my vision is blurred I'm not sure Hatred or love If I was to follow your own advice We would say goodbye right now The broken mirror isn’t as sharp as your tongue You test my patience with your pressures Like always before I know you Fall down Like you deserve Never thought I’d see the day When you become my most loved enemy With blood on my hands and scars on my heart I’ll fight with my broken arms To open eyes to a world of yesterday Cause we were fine yesterday I’m a seasoned liar I’m a cruel deceiver I am only the sound of your sweet Comatose
6.
Jewels 03:04
I don’t see the end Of this useless argument Me and us and you and them And what’s the point We don’t know what we’re fighting for It seems like an awful waste of time This stupid war you wanna fight I know you hear the voices in your head and they won’t forgive Wise man would fear what he can’t hide You’ll never take me alive And I’ll tell you why I’ll feed you what’s left of your crown Now sit right back down And just relax This is your show, your work of art We’ve let you do whatever you want for far too long It’s time you showed your face You’ll never take me alive And I’ll tell you why I’ll feed you what’s left of your crown We are all the same Clowns in someone else’s game Long enough we’ve let the giants Go and play with our lives Let's tell 'em why We'll tear the wolf apart we'll ground your crown to dust we'll ground your crown to dust

The Runaway 03:54
There is no time for regrets I like to keep my defences I like to hide behind someone else's face I like to keep it silent I like to keep it still Never good enough And I'd rather sleep Than walk the real world I'd rather pretend That love isn't true But I only do what I am told Its easier to know the evil you must choose is one of your own and the pain you'd always choke on when you walk slowly You're too scared to run away I'd rather sleep Than walk the real world I'd rather pretend That death isn't true Never good enough I am I'd rather sleep Than walk the real world I'd rather pretend That I don't understand And I'd rather sleep Than walk the real world I'd rather pretend I am so afraid Of the real world

Oh how we like to fix pretty little broken things claim to offer our protection as we feed on them and we could have sold it as "Let me save you from yourself" But who cares about false pretences let's just ignore the little lie There is a prison for hopeless young hearts where sleep's little sister can keep us all safe why carry burdens she'll make the pain stop here in no man's land we've lost all our worth oh how we like to pretend to be pretty little broken things while we devour all the light and turn it into worthless poetry lets not disappoint we could kiss in the rain and hope someone sees But don't you know It's never gonna be enough There is a prison for hopeless young hearts where sleep's little sister can keep us all safe why carry burdens she'll make the pain stop here in no man's land we've lost all our worth I won't mind if you break me I won't mind if you fix me There is a prison for hopeless young hearts where sleep's little sister can keep us all safe why carry burdens she'll make the pain stop here in no man's land we've lost all our worth We've lost all our worth

Pretender 03:55
Pull yourself together little girl it can't be that bad dust yourself off get up, off your knees and pull your finger away from the trigger treasures are not found in this place and you are not one anyway fighting another shadow in the room of mirrors, or is it you? Hanging on for the call that never comes a solution, resistance, and easy way out Keep me safe Safe from myself I won't let the demons win this time I won't let the demons win my mind Stand up straight pretender Look up, its a new day I could make myself stay or run away, or rot away whatever sticks Know how beautiful you look when everything you touch burns to the ground Keep me safe Safe from myself Keep me safe From that little girl

Wait in line ‘till you can get your answer Climb up higher just so you can have it your way But I’m not coming on your side I’ve got better turns to take Thicker bones to break So would it matter to you? If I just claimed my prize I don’t have a reason to run Remember The taste is bitter I love the fire Remember The clouds are breaking on demand Rattling chains you scream your call to arms But I’m not afraid to tear the world apart Remember The view is clearer The violence charms me And I can't stop Close your eye, the ashes melts away Flowers dead to celebrate your mistake You don’t need a reason to run from me Remember Better pills or a broken mind? Remember, remember Cause there is no forever It’s safe to say you’ve let Me down I’m coming of age, I’m the tyrant You'll miss
11.
I trusted blindly I lost days But if you wait for me You'd wait a lifetime And more Here we are side by side wondering who'll push the other first I hold no grudges in my heart I just came to take back what's mine and leave a little scar I trusted blindly I lost days But if you wait for me You'd wait a lifetime Focus now Up or down You have a long way to run And you can't even trust your own thoughts you have no home here its all make-believe I trusted blindly I lost days But if you wait for me I will lie That I don't need you anymore that I don't love you anymore Cause this is make-believe Let's play hide and seek Until you find me again
12.
Coil 03:04
Seas are calm Can you hear your call? The stars breathe as one I see all I’m meant to see but I feel nothing And I don’t mind the compromise Hidden death and longer tides I'm hoping for better days Lost our mentor in the fight Our shallow sun But could it be more perfect And destructive I don’t mind Hidden death and longer tides I'm hoping for better days I’m warning you Trust no one They test the water for hidden ice One thing is for certain Forgiven not Believer not Thinker not Hopeful not Believer not Free man not Free man you're not

Vows 03:17
Quit telling me that I should live your world You know I would If I could No one would believe that we ran out of reasons to keep on dreaming endlessly Flick up the switch or forget its existence No riddle, no secret trick And I see light ahead I hear the sound of rain The darkness don't matter The night is moving away The dawn will receive us Thirsty for beauty our hearts will fall awake Don't blink or you'll miss it the fall of the giant today he'll close his eyes And I see light ahead I hear the sound of rain The darkness don't matter The night is moving away A promise made another vow to break But I kept my promise Baby So now come with me And be free I will keep on chasing the improbable to my last breath Come join me The night is falling away Come with me And be free The darkness don't matter
