I've been fighting for myself
My own sanity
Not anything else
That I could see
Holding on our love
Crawling from behind
Strong as a mangrove
But I was blind
I couldn't see why
You were always by my side
When all we did was
Disagree get lost and fight
But follow me
If I've made it through your heart
Follow me
I won't let you fall apart
We've been holding back
And we lost track
Of what kept us alive
But follow me
I won't let you fall apart
I've been losing my own mind
And I couldn't find
A was to get out
Of this mess
Holding on our love
Crawling from behind
I wanted to shine
Like the stars above
I couldn't see why
You were always by my side
When all we did was
Disagree get lost and fight
But follow me
If I've made it through your heart
Follow me
I won't let you fall apart
We've been holding back
And we lost track
Of what kept us alive
But follow me
I won't let you fall apart

Stronger than the Seas

It's all fire
Burning my desire
Melting through my skin
They're all liars
Wanting to go higher
But getting lost within
I can't change the world
But I can change my own life
Let me slip my hand
Into yours so you and I
We can run away
Live our life our own way
Forget all about
The one's that would scream out loud
There's no way you both will break through
You won't make it out alive
We will show them wrong
Together we shall stay strong
I see fire
Burning my desire
But you are my water
We will make it together
I can't change the world
But I can change my own life
Let me slip my hand
Into yours so you and I
We can run away
Live our life our own way
Forget all about
The one's that would scream out loud
There's no way you both will break through
You won't make it out alive
We will show them wrong
Together we shall stay strong
Never forget me
Hold my hands in yours
Forever we will be
Stronger than the seas
Never let me go
I’ll stay close to you
Forever we will be
Stronger than the seas

Until Daybreak
03:44
|

I found a reason to behave
To forget about all I crave
If you forgive me have a seat
While I crawl at your feet
I've made all kinds of mistakes
But now I know my life's at stake
I need to forgive me
So I can live again
Don't you wish for you and me
To come to our senses
Don't you dream of the day
We can talk again until daybreak
I need a sign that I can hold on
Your memories all seem too far gone
I need to see you smile again
So I know you're alright
I wish we never a fight
But I'm to blame I destroyed your light
I wish that you would smile again
So I know you're alright
Don't you wish for you and me
To come to our senses
Don't you dream of the day
We can talk again until daybreak
I need to shed some light
To get rid of the night
Don't you dream of the day
We can talk again until daybreak
It's everything I ever wished for
It's everything I ever lived for
There's nothing I really wish more
Than seeing your smile tonight
Don't you wish for you and me
To come to our senses
Don't you dream of the day
We can talk again until daybreak
I need to shed some light
To get rid of the night
Don't you dream of the day
We can talk again until daybreak

Grand Recovery
03:50
|
|||
|
I want to know your thoughts
Tell me what's on your mind
You seem so far away
And I can't reach your hand
Our world is crashing down
And all that's left
The memories of when
We were one
Broken glass shattered
On the kitchen floor
Reminder of how dinner
Ended once again
What's going on
We're losing sight
Of what is wrong
Now nothing's right
We used to be so much more
Now we're strangers to one another
But I'll always love you therefore
I will long for our grand recovery

Bleed
04:14
|

|
I'm falling under
Tears are nothing to me
Bleeding from my heart
I can't feel anything
You cooled my fire
Drenched my flames in despair
Left me feeling dire
In my search of what's fair
And I bleed
My heart is drowning
I feel like a sinking ship
Trying to get back to port
I'm left here with nothing left
The seasons don't change
Every month winter stays
The colors don't blend
Everything's black and grey
And I can't believe
You wouldn't stay
No I can't believe
That you would leave me
And I bleed
My heart is drowning
I feel like a sinking ship
Trying to get back to port
I'm left here with nothing left

I Wish You Never Existed
04:26

Now I know I've been wrong
To follow you all along
You've been tearing me apart
From the start
You made my life a mess
Just by the way you process
To make
Everyone around you suffer
But I won't take it no more
I followed you for too long
No I won't take it no more
It's over and now we're done
It's over and I won't keep you around
The places we've been and the things that we've seen
Are buried six feet under the ground
It was about time I took the lead
I've taken the things that relate me to you
I've thrown them away so that I would forget
If there was a way I would like to reset
My life and never have talked to you
Now we're over and done
Can't even say it was fun
To be living with you
I'm so done
For you life is a game
And me I was just a pawn
In the clear precise frame
Of your mind
And I can't take it no more
I've been playin' for far too long
No I won't take it no more
It's over and now we're done
It's over and I won't keep you around
The places we've been and the things that we've seen
Are buried six feet under the ground
It was about time I took the lead
You've thrown me away like the worst piece of thrash
I'm covered in bruises that steer up my past
The way you've been hurting me comes to an end
And now it's time that I set you loose
The things that we yearn for are long gone
Crushed under the weight of your aspirations
When did you stop to think of us
It's over and I won't keep you around
The places we've been and the things that we've seen
Are buried six feet under the ground
It was about time I took the lead
I've taken the things that relate me to you
I've thrown them away so that I would forget
If there was a way I would like to reset
My life and never have talked to you

Purpose
02:54
|

|
Trying to think
But I just can't hold on
To my thoughts
Can't help but feel I'm wrong
To even wish
You'd still be by my side
Now there's a mist
I can feel my demise
Getting close
You left me die here
And I know it was on purpose
You just wanted to see my tears
You tossed me away
I just know it was on purpose
Now I'm lost and I can't seem to find my way
Memories
Of our forgotten past
Haunt my dreams
You were gone too fast
I'm still hoping for you
To come back
Take a step
Join me again on my path
You left me die here
And I know it was on purpose
You just wanted to see my tears
You tossed me away
I just know it was on purpose
Now I'm lost and I can't seem to find my way
Deep in my own forest of solitude
I'm wishing there was an easy way
To take all the memories of me and you
And throw them all away
You left me die here
And I know it was on purpose
You just wanted to see my tears
You tossed me away
I just know it was on purpose
Now I'm lost and I can't seem to find my way

On My Own
04:57

Broken pieces
That rubber just can't patch
Fallen faces
Hiding behind their mask
Stop me before I fall
Don't let me crumble
Hide me behind your walls
Don't leave me hanging out
I need to breath
I lost my way back home
How can it be
That we crumbled to ashes
The fireplace is cold
Were we nothing
Was I always alone
I'm left here on my own
You still can't hear them
The voices in my head
Trying to understand
The truth that's left unsaid
Stop me I won't survive
My dreams have all died
Crushed under all those lies
I can't keep up the fight
I need to breath
I lost my way back home
How can it be
That we crumbled to ashes
The fireplace is cold
Were we nothing
Was I always alone
I'm left here on my own
Now I see the light
You've brought my demise
Trying with all my might
To hold on to my life
Cause deep inside my soul
I know you'll eat me whole
I fear I've been too bold
I'll drown in my sorrow
I need to breath
I lost my way back home
How can it be
That we crumbled to ashes
The fireplace is cold
Were we nothing
Was I always alone
I'm left here on my own

So Long Misery
02:10
|
|||
|
I lie awake
In this fucking nightmare
I still can't take
The way you left me out there
You let me drown
Now I'll unleash my sorrow
Don't make a sound
Or I won't let you see tomorrow
I want to say
I just want to scream
So long misery
Everything I'm holding dear
Runs away from me
And I can’t hold on
Forgive me
Every memory of you
Is something I'll seal
So long misery
Everything I'm holding dear
Runs away from me
And I can’t hold on
To my dreams
All I need is somebody
To save my soul
I fall apart
Forgetting you's not easy
I knew my part
But you destroyed yours truly
You let me drown
Now I'll unleash my sorrow
Don't make a sound
Or I won't let you see tomorrow
I want to say
I just want to scream
So long misery
Everything I'm holding dear
Runs away from me
And I can’t hold on
Forgive me
Every memory of you
Is something I'll seal
So long misery
Everything I'm holding dear
Runs away from me
And I can’t hold on
To my dreams
All I need is somebody
To save my soul

Lost in Waves
04:04

It's too late for me now
I'm hanging by a thread
Everyone's a liar
Me they've always fed
I can't seem to shake these thoughts
Out of my head
Another sleepless night
Can't I die instead
And my throat is getting sore
My whole life was better before
It's too late for me now
Stuck inside my head
Though I'm about to fall
They want me to behave
Like I should give a fuck
About what everybody
Thinks of my wicked luck
They just won't set me free
And the darkness surrounds me
With dreams of a day
When the flowers would blossom
And preachers would pray
The blood in my veins
Has never been so hot
The damned and the fallen
Might give me a shot
The places the faces the traces of lust
The ashes of passion that ache in our hearts
It's all going to end with the movie of life
Though I'm trying to bend I won't make it alive
And the dreams of the wasted are leaving the earth
Unfulfilled, unfinished, to never be cleared
They're all lost in the waves of the ocean above
Not anything we can do to get back our love
It's too late for me now
I'm hanging by a thread
It's too late for me now
I'm stuck inside my head
It's too late for me now
I'm hanging by a thread
The wishes I've made
I'll never forget

Into the Abyss
03:49
|
|||
|
I stare at the sunset wishing I would be alive
Both eyes in the same hole, far away I see the light
Everything stopped in motion, I can't help but stare
Thinking of the life I lived, I wish I could go back there
Everything I've ever lived
Seems so far away
But for one moment, I'd relive
What was taken away from me
The emptiness will swallow me
Why couldn't you just follow me
We could have lived life our own way
But you left me die here to bleed
Like everything, you ran away
Was I always alone in here
If misery loves company
Then I will throw away the fear
My whole life was poorly lit
I'm falling into the abyss
The leering voices of my past
Scream in my mind
The voices in my head
Are no longer with me
There is no path ahead
Can only hope there's peace
The emptiness will swallow me
Like everything, you ran away
I stare at the sunset wishing I would be alive
All that I was holding dear disappeared in my demise
And the darkness surrounds all I am
Chasing away the blinding light
All that's left in my small mind
Is the echoes of my life
