After Days
03:22
|
|||
the fear inside is rising
watch as you turn from me
my thoughts are torn and emptied
once loved and known to bleed
shallowed although fulfilling
to me was everything
cuz i've been spending days
want you to feel the same
oh return to me
though i've wasted away
please remember for as i was
long gone in the after days
drawn marks within the sand
of what was meant to build
plans that have been washed down
once carried through the waves
i've been spending days
want you to feel the same
but does it ever change
stuck in my old ways
oh return to me
though i've wasted away
and return to me
i’ll wait
hold on in this place
i’ll stay
the fear inside is rising
with what i have to face
thoughts that are torn and emptied
once loved and known to bleed
shadowed although revealing
to me is everything
oh return to me
though i've wasted away
please remember for as i was
long gone in the after days
and return to me
i’ll wait...

3rd Street
03:19
|

on the corner of third street
help a friend
a friend who’s weak
hear the stories
let them talk
listen as a dozen pasts begin to speak
at home the mind seeps
day to day
and week to week
back to where you started
turning the present into past
(into past...)
what lies behind the brick walls
lay the figures that go to waste
give yourself up to what
give yourself up to who?
let go of how you started
turning the present into past
return to the first time from the last
let go let go let go let go
you could never ask for more
let go let go let go let go
don’t dare ever ask for more
your back where you started before
you could never ask for more
you could never ask for
you could never ask for
you could never ask for
more for more for more for more for more

The Illusion
04:06
|
|||
wasted away
from the warmth of what’s safe
now, a new found place
but i don’t know how to act
and when all is settled
i can tell there’s no turning back
so keep your distance
as i hold on
to the illusion
think we are proving
the unknown
all parts are moving
while i’m stuck
to the illusion
i could touch
there were life in these bones
now scarred and atoned
oh
cuz all that i wanted
was for you to show me
that all that i needed
was a little relief
some space and time
some sympathy
you keep your distance
as i hold on
keep your stance
while i let go
to the illusion
think we are proving
the unknown
and all parts are moving
while i’m stuck
to the illusion
i could touch
we’re drifting apart
as we rip through the stars
the void is so clear
that nothing is real
fucking nothing is real
death do us part
as we rip through the stars
fucking nothing is real
we’re drifting apart
as we rip through the stars
the void is so clear
that nothing is real
fucking nothing is real
death do us part
as we rip through the stars
fucking nothing is real
to the illusion, oh
to the illusion, oh

Hostage
03:47
|
|||
so go and take your shot
she’s got a fire in her gun
you can feel the bullet smiling
blow every fabricated inch my way
stare at the color that stains my crown
with a bang and a sharp burst,
i am compelled
oh a hostage to her love
oh she’ll tear you apart
there is no mercy for her words that pass by,
a heart that’s engulfed by flames of scorching amber,
recovery is seeming to be hopeless now
(you can feel the bullet smiling)
oh a hostage to her love
ah she’ll tear you apart
savage to your love
and ah she’ll tear you apart
break what’s in between
a force you’ve never seen
a bullet breaking your heart
it tears you apart
oh
choking up
full of smoke
she is known, she is known
blood rushing to the floor,
she is known, she is known
oh a hostage to her love
oh she’ll tear you apart
savage to your love
she’ll tear you apart
hostage to her love
oh she’ll tear you apart
so go and take your shot!

Burn Blue
02:46
|
|||
i am a fire
and i burn blue
you are a fever dream
that has come true
someone wake me up
reality is a wave breaking
stuck inside a fever dream
that has got me on my knees
someone wake me up
oh, enough is enough
you’re watching me-
watch me burn- (2x)
i am a fire
and i burn blue
you are a fever dream
that has come true
someone wake me up

Looking Over
03:58
|
|||
standing near a crashing shore,
thinking i can’t take no more,
oh, to fall in racing waves,
let it embrace all of me.
oh,
one more push,
oh,
one more step
staring at the sky above,
wanting to know peace and love,
oh, feel clouds slip through my hands,
wanting to meet god again.
oh,
one more push,
oh,
one more step.
looking over the edge of a cliff,
down where i belong
no going back,
don’t catch me when i fall.
just one more step,
back to where i came from.
and i, step by step,
over over over over again,
step by step
over over over!
no going back now,
over over over over again
where i came from,
over over over!
oh, one more step

Shell
02:52
|
|||
visions of the future
visions of the past
wrapped around my finger
try to make it last, yeah
people walk a straight line
look for different strides
with no road to run to
fall against the tide
don't trust what makes you feel good
even i know, there’s beauty in pain
just leave it as you should
holding it together
before i separate
innocence of who i was
is gone before the day
so i’m recognized
only by the few
cherish what you have
and what’s happening to you
don't trust what makes you feel good
even i know, there’s beauty in pain
just leave it as you should
cuz even i know there’s beauty in pain
done my time in a shell
soak in a well of desperation
don't trust what makes you feel good
even i know, there’s beauty in pain
just leave it as you should
cuz even i know

Kristy with a K
02:03
|
|||
feel the beat
pulsing through
your hearts in my hand
so i’m warning you
consumed by desire
breathe in deep,
you’re everything
you’re what i need
don’t be afraid
it’s nothing new
i’ve loved before
so i know it’s true
consumed by desire
breathe in deep
you’re everything
you’re what i need
(hey, i just wanted to say i miss you
i know you said you needed some personal space,
but i thought it be nice to leave you something sweet. i left it on your pillow. anyways, call me anytime... i’ll be waiting)
consumed by desire
breathe in deep

you’re what i need
i’ll wait for you

Red Spots
03:43
|
|||
i know who you are
raise the stake to my love
i know who you are
always a savior
bending the rules to
work in your favor
building me up to
make me take cover
i know what they warned
fear the crash and the burn
i know what they warned-
what will you do?
what will you choose?
the risk is in your hands
however gentle or quick
and you take control
until it’s taken too far
i know what you want
take the shape of my heart
i know what you want
take it all til it’s gone
i know what they warned
prepare for what’s to come
i know what they warned-
the risk is in your hands
however gentle or quick
and you take control
until it’s taken too far
wide eyed
red spots
falling over us
wide eyed
red spots
won’t you save us…
wide eyed
red spots
going straight ahead
wide eyed
red spots
is this how you show love?

The Sun Has Vanished
04:15
|
|||
when push comes to shove
leave me in disguise
so you never find me
in the night
in the outline,
what’s covering
because i want to become a part of it
turn the corner of the page
and fill me in
with a pen of ink
the dark inspires me
covered within all its entirety
no matter how close you get
it all just seems so far
the earth it shakes beneath,
surrounded in all its glory, yeah
and in what it succumbs,
in everything that’s nothing
the sun has vanished
the light is gone
shaken up,
awake by morning,
it’s hard to remember
how i was treating it,
but then there’s sweet redemption
the dark inspires me
covered within all its entirety
no matter how close you get
it all just seems so far
the earth it shakes beneath,
surrounded in all its glory, yeah
and in what it succumbs,
in everything that’s nothing
the sun has vanished
the light is gone
inside the memory
of who i was
daylight breaks, maybe i can take this pain away
and daylight breaks, maybe i can take the pain
the dark inspires me
coming undone with all its energy,
no matter how close you get
it all just seems so far
the earth it shakes beneath,
surrounded in all it’s misery, yeah
and in what it succumbs,
in everything that’s nothing
the sun has vanished,
the light is gone
inside the memory
of who i was
of who i was

Nobody Knows
06:27
|
|||
tied to the strings
cotton and velcro
hanging beneath
under your shadow
make up my face
and give my name
nobody knows i’m hiding, yeah
nobody knows
am i ashamed
be any other
lungs are impaired
eyes are discolored
make up my fate and
give a chance
nobody knows i’m hiding, yeah
nobody knows i’m hiding, yeah
nobody knows, they don’t know
mapped in your conclusions,
it’s how you keep me in,
i move with your motions
let the show begin,
do you know i’m helpless,
here with no self control,
i’m hanging beneath,
under your shadow
searching for you to find me
i’m searching for you to find me
and put what you’ve done behind me
i’m searching for you to find me
nobody knows i’m hiding, yeah
nobody knows i’m hiding, yeah
nobody knows i’m lying, oh yeah
nobody knows, they don’t know
