Quest
03:34
|
|||
enemies, enemies
here I go on a quest
I run away when life's a mess
want to fly away and leave what's left
desperate for a new substance
I have to cope with this distress
lifelessness and these dead regrets
soft tenderness, guilty offense
call off this loss, a brand new quest
your love has exposed me
this guilt has exposed you
I'm on a quest to rise above your senseless memory
you enemy
enemies, enemies, we are
to a degree, arch nemeses, we are
in love with each other's disease we are
enemies
is this a test? I want the next best
left to die, left for dead
death, from my last breath
I'll axe the s, and leave you ex
cause this lust has exposed me
your lust is all I knew
I'm on this quest to die a man that's worth more than
my trust in you, enemy

Try Again
04:09
|
|||
I found the recipe
consisting of the rest of me
this could be the death of me
but we will have to just wait and see
cause if I don't try this
I will die wondering
what was the point of this (to try, try again)
to walk the line, take my poison
dance the night away
let my heart beat further (so try, try again)
I'm running at a pace
I can barely keep up with
breathing my heaviest
my lungs will cease to exist
but I need to chase it I need to find it
I gotta know what is out there waiting for me
I gotta get a hold on this and grab it
if there's a chance I need to take it and never let it go
I'm falling out of sync
with these friends I can't keep up with
taking that bitter pill
that I would always resist
but I need to take it to see the light that
I know is shining out there in this sea
just have to keep swimming til I find it
there is a chance I will reach dry shore but never find a home

Who You Are
04:31
|
|||
living in a wasteland, sifting through the mud
looking for some answers underneath the crud
dirty old souls in a dirty old box
recycle the brains and turn them into rocks
grimy rotten tongues from the ones who spoke too much
fake prosthetic faces boiled down to mush
all the ugly people tore off all their skin
exposing all their muscles and the beauty from within
imperfection is perfection
alteration is fabrication
who you are
is all that you are
living in a wasteland, wading in the muck
looking for some answers underneath the guck
dirty old souls under lock and key
until the truth is heard, they'll never be free
free from their own cages where they lay in filth
swimming in their own shit, they choose wealth over their health
all the ugly people finally take control
with their hands held in the air, they prove that they've got soul
imperfection is perfection
alteration is fabrication
who you are
is all that you are

Pitch Black
03:35
|
|||
left behind
with this fragile mind
I cannot go outside
I want to hide
but all that aside
I will be a bright light
we'll be the ones who light the way
we'll use our hearts to glow in flame
oh with the darkness creeping in
it's pitch black
pulled apart, we breathe it in
and fix that up
though I'd like to fall down on my knees
I stand, I'd stand until I can't
my legs are water-filled cacti lodged within the sand
tree trunks that age with the land
we'll be the ones who light the way
we'll use our hearts to glow in flame
oh with the darkness creeping in
it's pitch black
pulled apart, we breathe it in
and fix that up
each day I grow
while at my weakest, all alone
I look ahead, I find the zone
distant totem poles of old memories I sold
stories left untold

Victim
03:49
|
|||
a family portrait hanging on the wall
no sign of me anywhere, anywhere at all
the man in the photograph, he is not me
you can look if you want to, but me you'll never see
'cause I'm a victim of change
a lesson in life I can't rearrange
yeah I'm a victim of change
a lesson in life I can't rearrange
a broken mirror, I'm reflectionless
no visibility, an invisible mess
the man in the mirror, he is not me
you can look if you want to, but me you'll never see
'cause I'm a victim of regret
a moment in life I will never forget
yeah I'm a victim of regret
a moment in life I will never forget
i see you, you see me
we're all victims of reality

Rain
03:19
|
|||
as an old man I'm boring
wont wake in the morning
I'm standing in the rain late at night
washing all my cares away
thinking of a time in a better life
I know that I will make it there someday
rain, rain, don't go away
I need you now more than you even know
rain, rain, don't leave me yet
I need you now to wash the pain away
as an old man I'm boring
wont wake in the morning
I'm standing in the rain, late at night
washing all my cares away
thinking of a time where we could get along
I know that we'll be friends again someday
rain, rain, don't go away
I'm not ready to face this light alone
rain, rain, don't leave me yet
I'm completely lost without you
as an old man I'm boring
don't wake in the morning
rain, rain, don't go away
don't go away
rain, rain, don't go away
don't go away
keep raining, keep pouring
been feeling so lonely

The Trap
04:01
|
|||
life this light this strife this plight my sight my might
fiery nights fear of heights cold as ice
its fight or flight
the price isn't right
so shine so bright and rise like the flyest kite
when you're walking down this road alone
and you find there's no place to go
you'll try to empty your guts (on the floor)
when your soul is so full, it shows
in your eyes a sadness grows
you can't let go of it (there's so much more)
just the other day, i followed a trail into darkness
there was something I wanted to say, but I forgot every word
vaguely remember everything, I'm desperate for air in this vacuum
I said I'd put the gun away, if I find the dessert I deserve
when you're walking down this road alone
and you find there's no place to go
you'll try to empty your guts (on the floor)
when your soul is so full, it shows
in your eyes a sadness grows
you can't let go of it (there's so much more)
life's got a hold on me, I dance with a demon in darkness
there was something I forgot to say, so I lost my reward
and I can't explain this hurt away, it follows me into the light years
I fall away, I am the dirt

All the Same
04:49
|
|||
eenie meenie miney mo
where is it you want to go?
here or there, or anywhere
it's all the same, it's all the same
frozen in time, a broken mind
a shattered vision, left behind
feel the earth crumble beneath your feet
covered in shame, showered in defeat
it's all the same
eenie meenie miney mo
where is it you want to go?
here or there, or anywhere
it's all the same, it's all the same
a shot in the dark, a kind remark
with hopes held high, you lose your spark
the memories fade, can't reverse your age
you took a quick glance before you turned the page
it's all the same

For the Better
03:56
|
|||
I'm telling you that this is for the better
I want you to know that I, I can't hold on forever
and all I wanna do is go home, all I wanna do is go home
but here I stand waiting for you to leave me
(it's so goddamn hard)
what don't you understand
(to keep from breaking hearts)
what do I have to say
(we've taken things too far)
things didn't go the way we planned
(there will be no fresh starts)
so we should go our own way
(forever wandering)
this is the way it should be
(we're just two lonely souls)
this I can surely say
(our bodies staggering)
things didn't click between us
(our hearts are empty holes)
so this should be our last day
yes. this should be our last day
I'm telling you that this is for the better
I want you to know that I, I can't hold on forever
and all I wanna do is go home, all I wanna do is go home
but here I stand waiting for you to leave me
(I tried to talk it out)
you never said a word
(although my tongue was tied)
you never even cared
(if I could I would shout)
I took a chance with you
(but I felt empty inside)
I should have never dared
(my fears took hold of me)
you wouldn't tell me the truth
(and they would not let go)
you and your lying eyes
(I was too scared to see)
I stare right back at you
(all that you had to show)
I see through your disguise
I see through your disguise
I'm telling you that this is for the better
I want you to know that I, I can't hold on forever
and all I wanna do is go home, all I wanna do is go home
but here I stand waiting for you to leave me

we will not be forgotten
we will not be forgotten

we will not be forgotten
we will not be forgotten
we will not be forgotten
we will not be forgotten
we will not be forgotten

this is a surprise
party that I was not invited to
but it was meant for me
celebrating the death of my youth
I know I haven't done right (from year to year, it all becomes a little more clear)
but try as I might (I've grown sore and I'm torn)
I can't fight it
looking back at my own past (despite this hell, I've learned to convince myself)
I tend to end what could have lasted (that there is so much more)
must find a new passion
I can't know what's next
the future is uncertain, of this I'm sure
the only certainty
we will become dust, deep in the dirt
this ghost follows me
through the trees and the alleyways
I cannot escape
it's like a rabid dog salivating
sometimes its asleep
and I'm free to live unafraid
but its always in my dreams
it hides deep in my subterranean sea
and I keep swimming

Empty Spaces
02:48
|
|||
all these empty spaces
(give us room to breathe)
the loneliness is a constant
(if we can't be happy)
with ourselves and our lives
(and what we have inside)
filling that emptiness
(with your wandering eyes)
I dance alone all the time
I dance alone all the time
I move along just fine
all those empty faces
(that you cannot see)
their ever-reaching touch
(is what sucks the life out from me)
we have ourselves and our lives
(and what we make inside)
filling the emptiness
(with these wondrous times)
all these empty spaces
(give us room to breathe)
the loneliness will remain
(around us if we want the pity)
on ourselves in their eyes
(show what you have inside)
fill this emptiness
(with a wonderful shine)
and dance alone all the time
dance along with this shine
we move along
while we dance alone all the time
we dance alone all the time
maybe one day we'll find.

The Heart and the Knife
05:22
|
|||
standing in line up against the wall
waiting for someone to call
to call my name and ask me why
why have I chosen to die?
well I don't know why, I just didn't think
when the pain inside began to sink
of all the good things I had in this life
I never understood the heart and the knife
the heart, the knife
what a perfect place for the blade to reside
the hole in my heart, the place I would hide
I'd hide what I'd build up, I'd hide my fears
I'd turn my back, I'd dry the tears
I'd put on a mask, so I couldn't breathe
and so you wouldn't see the true side of me
a faceless face, a shrouded heart
buried truth in lies, made me fall apart
the heart, the knife
well I don't know why I was so goddamn cruel
I could see it in your eyes, you knew that I was a fool
a fool who played god with his own damn life
I just didn't understand the heart and the knife

stepping outside of my bubble
I'm stepping into the light
getting myself into trouble
doing what I think is right
you can have me if you want me
I'm opening myself up
I feel the world all around me
I'm never giving up
wont you join me on the other side?
we can fight, two worlds will collide
stepping into another room
full of life and love, we ought to consume
it put me in a trance, had to take a chance
fighting for a dance in a world of romance
losing my way is not an option
no wrong turns allowed
in a world sometimes stranger than fiction
I stand out from the crowd
making my way through the people
I'll ask you your name
will you join in my circle?
and play the game?
wont you join me on the other side?
we can fight, two worlds will collide
stepping into another room
full of life and love, we ought to consume
I want to join you on the other side
we will fight, our worlds will collide
dancing into the other room
there's a life and love, we have to consume

Through the Night
04:16
|
|||
tonight we will light
the streets with lighter apps
we know our way through the night
we don't need any digital maps
we can see all of our flaws
and we will kick them in the ass
and then we'll march through the night
and we will dance on broken glass
let's march on through the night
'til the skies light up our eyes
let the sun warm our hearts
we no longer need to lie
we will march on, you can't stop us
we will march on through the night
tomorrow will be a happy day
tomorrow, all the pain will go away
tomorrow will be a better day
as we march on and on and on and on
through the night

Futurepast
10:02
|
|||
I pull myself apart I want to split this brain in half
I can't look back, I can't decide which path was best
what if I could do it again
I'm undecided most of the time, I won't remind myself of that
cause I'd want it back, I stretch my future deep into my past
left with a thick veil of thin skin
so here I'm stuck with dual selves
dueling with themselves
pulling daft feelings off the shelf
and never asking for help
(futurepast) x2
I reach within myself and find a void that's leaking black
so I push right back and send the light into my past
the future is now, it's what I lack
I can't decide which half is satisfied, one half might die
and that's when I begin decline, will I arise?
one half of me is all I can manage safely (futurepast)
the other side of me looks away (futurepast)
I need to figure out exactly where I'm going
and what I need to become to merge into one x2
so here I'm stuck with dual selves
dueling with themselves
pulling daft feelings off the shelf
and never asking for help
I pull myself apart I want to split this brain in half
I can't look back, I can't decide which path was best
what if I could do it again
one half of me is all I can manage safely (futurepast)
the other side of me looks away (futurepast)
you need to figure out exactly where you're going
and what you need to become to merge into one x2
one
i'm one
cause even if i'm
fifty/fifty I'm one
bitch i've won, one
