Clear eyes full hearts can’t lose
So I guess I can’t win
Since I put my blood into the pen
and my soul into the words
because everyone knows
the soul's in the eyes, yes the eyes
they disguise a case of your pitiful demise
Wait a sec, you’re still breathing
But I can’t tell if you can feel inside
So I guess that makes you a vessel,
Yes
Only that will put your body to the test
so please,
try your best you’ll be put to rest
You have the world on your side
But you try to hide it lock it
Keep masking the pain with the masking tape
That's no longer there, it's gone, long forgetten
Your soul's something more, it's rotten
And finally you realise when you wear the disguise
Everything you thought about is no longer valid
So please when you take it off you will scream
Everything will be better, you will see
Now it’s time to take back your past
Erase all your life
Take off that thing that disguised your eyes
You never looked at me when you lied to me
You always looked at the ground right between your feet
As if you wanted to be under there
Buried underground because you were scared
But please don’t leave, please don’t leave
I need you more than you need me

Storm

I am the storm I can’t be stopped, I can’t be guided either
I will destroy, destroy everything
You know the day that I left you nothing to hold
or so I’m told
Destroy your heart, destroy your head, destroy the rest of it
I am everything about you
What you do in your head I don’t care, I don’t mind
When you die be kind
I was busy being everything they wanted me to be
I was busy for everyone
You see
I’m everything that you don’t need
Destroy your heart, destroy your head, destroy the rest of it
I am everything about you
What you do in your head I don’t care, I don’t mind
When you die, please be kind
I have lost my words and thoughts of that kind
It is lasting, the effect on my mind
I have lost my intents, I have dropped my resentments
I don’t hate my thoughts, I only hate my past tense
Destroy your heart, destroy your head, destroy the rest of it
I am everything about you
What you do in your head I don’t care, I don’t mind
When you die be kind
I am fading whether it be darkness or light
Let it consume me, this is so contrived
I am fading whether it be darkness or light
Let it consume me
I am fading whether it be darkness or light
Let it consume me, this is so contrived
I am fading, whether it be darkness or light
Let it consume me, this is so contrived

Sirens

I hear them calling out your name
Sirens yelling at who's to blame
I swear I heard a screeching sound
Banshee's have swarmed all around
I want to fall away
I want to fly away
No more standing on the ground
It's time to go to heaven now
They say the heart wants what it can't have
So I guess your hand in mine will never fit
'Cause if I could find my heart inside this empty frozen chest
Then you would find that I'd give you all of it
I can't hear you calling out my name
And I can feel your breath across my neck driving me insane
And you don't love me so how do you explain
How you walk right out of my life
when you live inside of my brain
No escaping from the past
Even if you drive you'll come in last
Only move towards the light
It's the future you have to fight
I want to sail away
I want to go away
No more standing on the ground
It's time to go to heaven now
Please
You stole the matches from my book
Put out the fire in my eyes
You cause a thunder in my veins when you're around
You make me wish that I would die
I can't hear you calling out my name
And I can feel your breath across my neck driving me insane
And you don't love me so how do you explain
How you walk right out of my life
when you live inside of my brain
I can't hear you calling out my name
(I want to run away)
And I can feel your breath across my neck driving me insane (I want to run away)
And you don't love me so how do you explain
(No more standing on the ground)
How you walk right out of my life
when you live inside of my brain
(It's time to go to heaven now)

Bones

Stealing my breath when I need it the most
And words are just too hard to find
There's things that I'm needing to say
With all I’ve got left and this lump in my throat
Of things that I can't keep tonight
And chances I'm dying to take
It all goes to hell and I'm left alone
With nothing but memories of you in my arms
And god how it kills to hold you so close
But know in my heart what I feel in my bones
Breaking my heart with the way that you smile
And laughter that melts through my soul
You're everything I don't deserve
Falling apart with your hands laced in mine
And praying you'll never let go
Forever hold on to the way that we were
It all goes to hell and I'm left alone
With nothing but memories of you in my arms
And god how it kills to hold you so close
But know in my heart what I feel in my bones
And I know you think we're all fine
And oh how I wish you were right
And I'm prone to break the things that I love
It all goes to hell and I'm left alone
With nothing but memories of you in my arms
And god how it kills to hold you so close
But know in my heart what I feel in my bones
I've prayed so hard I don't die here alone
I swear that you'll never let me let go

Never never more
Are we feeling more secure
Than when we write raps and take naps
or hide behind our doors
How many times have I lied
To a person who loves me and in me they confide
For me it isn't trust it's just untruth
Nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to prove
The wounds I have caused haunt me every single day
Help me out here to confess
And help me now to say
I'm sorry I'm broken
I'm sorry I'm broken
I can't function correctly
I'm sorry I'm broken
I'm so very screwed up
Tipped over spilled out
The end is so messy
Ghosts are bound to linger at the tips of your fingers
At the lips of our singers and no one knows better
Of the heart breaking shredder that is this machine
A team of the worst people you could meet
Empty the hourglass faster, sink into a lifeless laughter
Slowly drain out, give up and fall down
Does it even matter
I'm sorry I'm broken
A glitchy malfunctioning person
A loser a kid a joke an example
Of what it's like to be outspoken
Im sorry I'm broken
I'm sorry I'm broken
I can't function correctly
I'm sorry I'm broken
I'm sorry I'm broken
Slowly drain out
Tip over fall down
Does it even matter?
As you peered at the peak of insanity with confusion
You asked if this half of me was merely an illusion
Are my voices in your head
Do they turn your thoughts choices red
With the innocence in your mind you've been too kind to Ask why you ever tried to find someone
emotional as me
And don't be don't be too attached cuz I'm emotionally Distraught, I've been caught, I'm really messed up
The cats out of the bag and I'm not covered up
The cover is the blanket that masks all my emotions
I don't know if I've been going the right way
I've been outspoken, so low that it's an unknown place That means I'm broken so give me your heart
This is a burglary
Trust me no one needs it as much as me

Center will not hold so hold onto your hope
Hold onto what you know
And let that side of you show
Revelations strained relations these are the seeds we sow
Unknown nation’s greed gave us freedom,
and now we go
The center will not hold
Fall apart is all we know
The end is just a show
Fall apart, the end is all we know
The end comes in ten, we fight amongst ourselves
ten, nine, death looms over and it dwells
Eight seven six five four three two one
Don’t give up now until you know you’re done
catch us as its catch, pray it’s not your day
life’s won this one, tried to live today
Strike up one more, a conversation on a shelf
Asked where you went wrong and pointed to yourself
No more thinking, just waiting all the time
How many more will have to die?
I don’t wanna say this but we both know it’s true
How many more until it’s you?
Fall apart, the end is all we know
Fall apart, the end is all we know
The center will not hold
So hold on to your hope
So hold on to your hope

Likely Tears

Not everything is quite as it seems
Not even when you stand so close to me
Do you really see the me I see?
It isn’t up to me to fill your dreams
Everything is not quite as it seems
Lucky for you, but not for me
What is it that I’m s’posed to see?
I didn’t know you’d crush all my dreams
Oh
The blind man sings
Oh
Let’s see what he sees
Oh
I wish I wasn’t so naive
Oh
I wish you weren’t so easy to deceive
I found out everyone bleeds
I’m not the man that I once was
I’m changing every day because
I’m trying to fix these mistakes
I hope I have what it takes
I guess some things can’t stay the same
I didn’t think that I feared change
Now reminiscing keeps me sane
But memories fade away, and leave the pain

No one ever flew before they jumped
I’ll make like a raven
And find my own way to heaven
So many times I’ve seen our shadows walking side by side
So often I’d watch you fall away when it was darkest
Flesh would crawl and call for you
Never heard
Bones creak like lonely floorboards
No one said a word
As we chipped away
We pick at our skin, scabs growing twice as fast as our sins
I never quite figured out which of us was the coward
Until I collected my breath and stepped from that ledge
We bled every godforsaken day
Praying that something would change and we could live
A heart full of lidocaine will save you
When the skin that held you is ripped away
You'll be light enough to float away
Empty enough to survive the day
A heart full of hope will save you
As every feather grows
When the sky is beneath your toes
And you join your chewed up fingers with mine
Promise me that on the clouds we’ll ride

So Confused
03:31
|

|
Conflicted all the time
With these thoughts on his mind
And they all lead to her
Seeing things that aren't there
And he doesn't know where to go
He's so confused
He's so confused
I don't know where I am
So run, run, run away
I don't know where I am
So run, run, run away
I've earned this reputation
Of burning all these bridges
I can't remember where I left you
Because it makes no difference
I run away from all these fears
I ran away for you, my dear
And when I left I felt insincere
Now you're the one to fear
I don't know where I am
So run, run, run away
I don't know where I am
So run, run, run away
Living here with all his fears
And the demons just under his feet
Sleeping here without his dear
Has sunk him into the floorboards
It's not the same with that dip in his bed
And he can't help but to fall in
To the endless void, the endless void
It's an endless...
Sometimes sometimes the darkness gets too thick
And even in the dark of night the devil is quick of wit
Twisting and changing the way we all behave
And at the end of it all, we end up his slaves
Sometimes sometimes the darkness gets too thick
And even in the bright of day the devil is quick as frick
And all damn night we wait for the spheres to shift
This illusion of choice is just a myth
I don't know where I am
So run, run, run away
I don't know where I am
So run, run, run away
Living here, living here, living here
With all of his fears
Sleeping here without his dear
Without his dear, without his dear
It's not the same with that dip in his bed
And he can't help but to fall in
To the endless void
The endless void, it's an endless
Void
