Apocalypse
05:48

|
Here we go again, Dancing in the fire like a marionette
And to war, we went. Grabbed our weapons and buried our heads.
Stuck awaiting the end, Non believers feeling like we were heavensent.
Broken and bent, Spent our entire lives trying to repent.
We protected their lost souls and smashed in their windows
Kept their eyes closed, We kept their eyes closed
From machines that bind us, That sit in the silence
How did they find us, how did they find us?
We all know what we have done to get as far as we have come.
and we all have forgotten what it's like to have a battle won.
We've Lost all our loved ones while we watched our sun rust.
the ones below and above us have funded our bloodlust
we gathered our weapons, made a promise to heaven
The one we can't get in after armageddon
We saw the devil and god scream and then shout
cause they want the same thing, they both just want out.
and we are the ones who will bring them down.
That's why they sent us, it's our kingdom now
the sky is on fire, the end has began
The ground is shaking from the feet of the damned
They march in a line and halted by hand
the devils disciples await his command
They're firing sins at innocent lives
Teach them to hate, teach them to lie
Go back where they came from, leave victims alone
teach them to burn down the world on their own.
I don't know who's side I'm on, I don't know if I'm right or wrong

Harlots
03:47
|
|||
|
I walked a long and lonely road
looking for some place to call home.
and once again I'm all alone.
The voices over the payphone
make filthy noises as the volume grows,
crippling all my bones.
Tell me, did this go as planned?
Did you want all of this to happen?
tell me you did what you can
and you've still got those bloody hands
That you cover with make up
The same that's made you infamous
for hiding everything from us, you've destroyed all that I trust
When the whores and harlots find us,
They try to redefine us, they'll never let us go.
They'll search the world until they're over,
they'll search every corner, to make sure we're all alone.
We fall in love so sudden, we call it that because we trust them
we bury ourselves alive.
We seek out some revival, they await our arrival
they'll take us over tonight.
tell me another little lie, so i can never question why
you disappear into the night, to make your other loves feel alive
If I find out, you'll take my life
slit my throat, call it a night
go to bed and clean your knife
Your conscious clears when you close your eyes.

Inside/Out
03:39
|

|
What's another word for speechless, cause I missed that train of thought.
my past of empty words and filthy verbs are a few things I forgot.
and I left all my misery in my landmark of a parking lot
cause the butterflies that I have gathered have yet to be caught.
I think you're so beautiful, I think that you're a catch.
and If I'm thinking properly, I've met my perfect match.
You make me so nervous, you make me turn red.
I'm so used to hurting but I'm smiling instead.
You've got a way of turning me inside-out
My heart's wide open and exposed to you now
You know I need healing cause you see what I'm feeling.
Tonight I'm Inside-Out
What's another way to love you, cause I'm trying to give my best.
I look like shit and you just sit there impeccably well dressed.
I'm trying to be better, I'm trying to impress.
Cause it's about time I found my own success.
So I tear myself open, wishing, hoping you like what you see.
and You find something and there's nothing you want but me.
take me apart, take my beating heart
because it's yours to keep.
I fell in love so bad, I hit the ground
and I am yearning to hear the sound
Of a heartbeat like mine, so synchronized
Beating together in time.

Lessons

So the world didn't crumble as we thought it would.
I didn't trip or stumble like you thought I should.
I'm feeling better every second you're not around.
The air is thinner in the winter of your heart.
the sun is brighter than the fire when we fell apart.
I'm never going to see you again.
So I'll be clapping my hands
and I'll be stomping my feet
while the marching band
plays a familiar beat.
I might even come back someday
If I do, I won't make the same mistake
A Lesson learned from none other than a lover lost.
I began to draw the line just to see if it could handle being crossed.
The man I used to want to be is now outlined in chalk.
I'm a brand new me, wearing broken feet and I can't help but walk.
I missed my own funeral
I was dead and didn't have control
at least that's what you hoped.
so if and when we meet again, you tell me that you need a friend to end all of your suffering and start the fire that's within.
when you're the reject, I'll give a smile with all due respect.
This is what you deserve for all the bridges you burned
and all the people you've hurt and all the trouble you've stirred.
The hourglass fell on it's side, needless to say you're out of time.
So take a final breath, Inhale every single regret.
remember how all this ends when they say off with your head.
You knew you'd never get too far, now the misery's gone since you are

The Chase
04:02

I Wish I Was Mad, I Wish I Didn’t Understand
Where You’re Coming From.
I Wish This Was Easy, I Wish It Was Harder To Say
You’re Right
I Wish You Were Mine.
I Wish We Didn’t Have To Give This Time.
But That’s Just How It Goes.
I Wish You’d Attack Me From Right Behind My Back.
At Least The Pain Would Make Sense.
You’re So Perfect, The Wait Is Worth It
But Wishes Never Come True
I Deserve This, I Have Earned This
But I’m Still Feeling Blue.
We Could Be, We Should Be
Together With Nothing To Lose.
I’m Meant To Be Happily Chasing After You.
I Wish I Was Numb, I Wish I Couldn’t Feel A Thing
I Feel Everything With You
I Wish I Could Take All Your Pain Away
I Wish I Had Something To Prove
I Wish I Didn’t Know How To Love
I Wish I Didn’t Have To Grow Up
I Wish We Could Just Runaway
I Miss Smiling In My Sleep
I Miss Belonging To Somebody
I Miss Looking Forward To Another Day
I Wanna Know What It’s Like
To Dream About You At Night
And Wake Up Guilt-Free
I Wanna Know What It’s Like
To Have You By My Side
And Live Happily
I Wanna Make You Smile, Darling
But I Don’t Know What To Do
Because I’m Chasing After You.

Say Cheese And Simile
03:54

I keep singing for a dead scene, Not a single human being is listening
all the radios are off the air, screaming at mirrors, it's not fair
cause no one cares. This was never about you.
Though you wish it were, about him or her, but you don't really hear the words.
I don't reveal my ghosts for you to fight them, so all hope is flying out the window.
Here's a toast to get your attention.
I'm doing this for me, Nothing's as it seems
I'm all alone and still I sing.
To nobody at all I need is these four walls.
you were never meant to take this call.
When I'm finished with my work, exposing all that hurts
It's all unheard, words are words.
"Oh great, he's lost his mind again, a lovely melody for the filthy head. What's he pretending for?"
It's called a fucking metaphor.
This is my therapy, these are all memories
Sung in a melody, it's all I ever do.
But every piece is new, You never listen to what I say Because of you.

My Ex Stacy

I Was outside your window begging you to look outside.
Married to a widow, even though I still felt alive.
I carried my burdens for as long as my legs would allow.
and only when I was hurting, I decided I would put them down
It's a new year darling and you're sipping on your chardonnay
A New year and target, can I take your breath away?
There's some static in the air tonight, there's goosebumps on my arms
lungs cant breathe but it's alright cause I'm relying on my heart
let's leave all this behind, let's get into my car.
I need things to be alright, I need to hit restart.
I could really use a new year, I'm sick of feeling all alone.
I could really use my fear, I miss knowing where I wanna go.
I wanna take your hand and consider never letting go
Cause I'm your biggest fan, I just wanted you to know.
How could this happen? I'm supposed to only feel the pain
I'm not used to love but I guess it's time for change.
My world is crumbling, could you save me before I fall.
I need a new beginning, I wanna run before I crawl.

Fuck (Oh!)
03:36
|

Come a little closer, whisper in my ear.
tell me all the dirty things you know I wanna hear.
Let me take you over, do everything I say.
breathing heavy on your neck while you're whispering my name.
clenching at your bedsheets becoming alive.
I love it when you tease me with your love in disguise.
Forget all of your problems. Darling, Throw them to the side.
and let me be the one you fall in love with for the night.
Oh, your body's shaking baby.
it's so hot, it makes me.
I'm not usually like this but
You know I can't fight this.
Go all the way tonight and
Throw away your vices.
touching me, I'm trembling to make you mine.
my history is dwindling all for one night.
I'm not who I used to be, but I think it's alright.
So keep using me, seducing me with that look in your eye.
the lightest touch, it's not enough with clothes on the floor.
It's pleasing you, you're teasing me, can't take anymore
I'll get another night like this with honest true luck.
and all the screaming silence says you just want to..
You can't take it, trembling hips
don't say a word, baby, bite your lip.
forget your problems, forget my name
play along with my love game

Time Of My Life

How's my smile, does it look too fake?
(I Hate saying this, but I love what you think)
It's just been a while since it was on my face.
(It's been too long)
Don't worry honey, I'm here to stay
(I'm not going anywhere)
Cause time is money and I run the bank
(waste it all, I couldn't care)
Let's trade stories like a gift exchange
cause your's always feel like christmas day
I'll starve myself for just a taste
and I'd kill a man for just a day with you.
we're losing our lives a single minute at a time, and there's no point in being alive if your hand is not in mine.
baby, I could show you the world.
Once I know you'll be my girl
let's just start the car and runaway.
I don't care how far, let's just go today.
let's sing a song in harmony
get the lyrics wrong but it's alright with me
let's show the world what we're all about.
a boy and girl lacking doubt.
I'll give it all like charity, and you don't even have to marry me.
Have faith in what you believe.
I Just hope in time, you'll find faith in me.
love has always been a sick disease.
please don't let it get ahold of me.

Sleeve Of Hearts
04:34
|

|
Wear your heart on your sleeve and get it away from mine.
I can't stably think because I'm out of my mind.
But I know I need to get you out of my life.
I got you out of the rain and got you out of those clothes
sheltered you from the pain and then I gave you a home.
and after all was said and done, you still don't pick up the phone.
(let me know you're not alone)
You tried to find something right in a world so wrong, I closed my eyes til the light showed that you were gone. You took everything I own.
and I'm here all alone.
I searched for a sign that you were alive, but this road is black as night.
On this abandoned road and I guess I can't go home.
Calling you but you cant stop
sobbing cause all you love is lost
You're going on and on, again and again
You killed your only friend
You're trying to tell yourself I'm not
Dying, but baby I'm in hell.
I'm gone, I'm gone, This is the end.
I'm sick of writing letters that are never ever sent.
Burned all I know of you just to shed some light.
but what does it prove if you'll never arrive.
all I hear is music and I've lost my sight.
I don't know what I'd do If you knew I wasn't right.
would you try to come back, would you travel all night?
to pull the blade from my back and finish me right
the book of love has been burnt and it's keeping me warm
but now all of it's words tell me that I've been torn
To tiny little shreds of shattered innocence
maybe tonight, or even maybe today
I'm gonna stand up and fight to make myself okay.
clenched fists and bloodshot eyes
even though there's no end in sight.

Final Warning
03:53
|
|||
|
I remember when I finally met her and realized
I've been waiting so long.
a warm december engulfed in a freezing ember
that some may call a heart.
for years, I've been hiding in plain sight.
barely surviving, but not alive.
giving away all that I want,
I fear that I'm deaf and blind.
Dont hear the answers I refuse to find
at least my pulse thinks I'm alright.
This is your final warning
a day of hope for a night of mourning, love has left you behind.
Quit hoping that you'll hear the phone ring, confess it all cause no one's listening. love has wasted it's time.
Break the mirror cause I can't be near her when I find out my doubt is lost.
she doesn't need me, cause she doesn't want to. believe the value is more than the cost.
now all my dreams of finding true love came true.
abuse from above breaks the surface and tells me that I can't have you.
So kill me, make me mother nature's jewelry
she wears me around the wrist of a tree.
so fill me with useless lies and make me believe I'll never be lonely.
