Temporary Escape
02:37
|
|||
Days and nights feel the same
Anxious feelings I can't shake
I keep myself locked away in places that no one will find me
Temporary escape,
your beauty is bright but unnecessary
Although your presence is blinding, it seems to be guiding me
Slowly drifting, I've been waiting
tucked within my shell
The sanctuary where I've been dwelling
is a reverie that seems to be endless
All things of the past won't escape me
One day maybe I'll see the end...
Oh temporary escape,
your beauty is bright and so comforting
I'll follow you to the edge as long as you help me forget
Days and nights seem the same,
anxious feelings that I can't shake
No place left to go, slowly drifting
No place left to go, I've been waiting
(Slowly drifting, I've been waiting)
tucked within my shell
I'll embrace this curse, I won't fall to my knees,
I'll embrace this curse as it embraces me
Temporary escape, you're so comforting
I'll follow you to the edge as long as you help me forge
t
No place left to go, slowly drifitng
No place left to go, I'll embrace this curse
No place left to go, slowly drifting
No place left to go but my temporary escape

Don't Wanna Know
02:47
|

No place on this earth can disrtact me from wondering
what it is you're thinking. Although we try to pretend,
these ordinary conversations aren't cutting it
but how could I blame you? Forging lies in my head,
convincing me that something's wrong but I don't wanna...
I don't wanna know. I don't wanna know
if you'd rather be somewhere else
or if you seek the taste of another mouth
I'll lie to myself if I have to
Staring aimlessly through window panes
questioning where you sleep these nights spent without you
You dug your way in my skin,
provide me the strength to recover or bury this
But I know you won't
Yeah, I don't wanna know.
If you'd rather be somewhere else
or if you seek the taste of another mouth,
keep lying to me if you have to cuz I'll take it
But I don't wanna know
I'll lie to myself if I have to, I'll take it

New World
02:42
|
|||
Day after day waiting for the storm to break
Give us the faith we need
I got a feeling that today we might witness a change
This is a new world, a new setting sun,
my clenched fists when I come undone
This is my freedom when they give me none,
the one with the voice with no words to be sung
This is a new world
Idle hands can't build you a home
when you're running out of stable ground
The fear that's in you, it keeps you away
but where the hell did you go?
We found new keys to old ignitions,
they try to drown us out but we don't listen
So far from where we had planned,
awaiting the rise of 'a free man'
This is a new world, a new setting sun,
my clenched fists when I come undone
this is my freedom when they give me none,
the one with the voice with no words to be sung
This is a new world
In the heart of the storm, the walls caved in
You were so far gone I couldn't pull you in
but you're coming around, I thought you would
Coming around, I thought you would
when no one saw it in you
Coming around, I thought you would
'The rise of a free man'
This is a new world, a new setting sun,
my clenched fists when I come undone
this is my freedom when they give me none,
the one with the voice with no words to be sung
This is a new world
(Coming around, I thought you would)
My clenched fists when I come undone, this is my freedom
'The one with the voice, with no words to sung'

Winding Down
03:17
|
|||
'I always try to be what's expected of me
but I just don't really feel like being
a makeshift version of myself today'
Life between a mess and a hard place (never ending)
Life between a mess and a hard place, I'm still sinking
Winding down, I know my pride is at stake
but I'm sick of playing it safe 'for now'
Winding down, so tired of feeling ashamed
too weak to carry the dead weight
What do I know about a life spent living a lie?
What do I know about changing faces to get by?
Life between a mess and a hard place (never ending)
Life between a mess and a hard place, and still I sink
I've grown paranoid, it's fucking wearing on me
Keep me in place (suffer me)
Keep me in place, shed the false skin, show me your way
My reflection doesn't represent me these days
The hours loom, changing ways
I'll sleep forever or I'll never sleep
The hours loom, changing ways
In every mirror, in every face, same reflection mocking me
Winding down, I know my pride is at stake
but I'm sick of playing it safe 'for now'
Winding down, so tired of feeling ashamed
too weak to carry the dead weight
The hours loom, changing ways
in every mirror, in every face

Exposed
02:42
|

You've been dragged down, drained out
they took all you had, ran it to the ground
It's just another case of manipulation
Years spent swallowed in debt
twisting and turning with no room to bend
and it all amounts to?
Self-resentment... and that breaks a home
They cut you open and I see you bleeding
(you've been exposed)
They'll get into your head and try to take control
(if you fight it)
They press your luck and I see you dreaming
(of paradise)
Don't let them mold you into who they want us to be
It's only love and hate, no in between
They make you forget that you lost everything
because they rather keep you numb and give up nothing
How can you keep your head on straight
when you know you got nothing left?
Self-resentment, self-resentment..
They cut you open and I see you bleeding
(you've been exposed)
They'll get into your head and try to take control
(if you fight it)
They press your luck and I see you dreaming
(of paradise)
Don't let them mold you into who they want us to be
How can you keep your head on straight?
Years spent swallowed in debt, no room to fucking bend

Can't Stay (My Love)
02:52
|
|||
There's just something about the way the future looks
that makes me think you might regret the chance you took
I often ask myself, if I got what it takes to meet your needs
Well I'll stick it out if you'll do the same cuz..
I can't stay too long (my love)
Will you wait for me till I get home?
Now would you side with me, or lie to me still?
All just to keep me sane? My love, I can't stay
And there's something about the way you carry me
When everything fell through, you're the one who stayed
Will you remember it when I'm miles away?
I hope you don't forget about the promises I made...
Cuz I can't stay too long (my love)
Will you wait for me till I get home?
Now would you side with me, or lie to me still?
All just to keep me sane? My love, I can't stay
Worst-case, you got me
I'll be there if you'll have me
Worst-case, you got me
Well you can have it or leave
I can't stay too long (my love)
Will you wait for me till I get home?
Now tell me would you side with me, or lie to me still?
All just to keep me sane my love?

Only Way
03:07

Help me see the way,
on every road there's a turn I tried to take
Hope runs thin,
every choice was 'the love I failed to mend'
Memory folds
and the words fall short when i need them most
I waste away, contemplate how to keep you here with me
I haven't slept much in days
my body's calloused much more than I can take
I can't think straight
with your eyes directed at me
I hesitate but know it's the only way
(love)
Somewhere between home and the interstate,
Somewhere between you and where I stay,
In a time when things just weren't so clear to me,
but that picture faded black and grey
I haven't slept that much in days
my body's calloused so much more than I can take
I'm finding comfort in the worst ways (worst ways)
I can't think straight
with your eyes directed at me
I hesitate but know it's the only way
I try to leave but something keeps pulling me back to you
I might hesitate but I'm bound cuz it's the only way
I wander the world just to find that it's the only way
I'm turning the page and it's strange but it's the only way
I might hesitate but I'm bound cuz it's the only way

Long before you made your decision,
did you ever think about the consequences and what it brings?
It pains me to think it's all self-inflicted
and I'll never know why on earth it had to come to this
(we'll never know what's in your fucking head)
In her darkest hour,
she feels the ground fall beneath her
All alone she sinks, all alone she treads
Never once did she think,
she could feel so cold it's a damn shame
All alone she'll sleep, all alone she'll wake
(no trust for anyone)
Everyday's like living a bad dream
The wounds she wears are for her own safety (sad truth)
Illusions, disorders, and all things immoral
Around she goes spinning in circles
In her darkest hour,
she feels the ground fall beneath her
All alone she sinks, all alone she treads
Never once did she think,
she could feel so cold it's a damn shame
All alone she'll sleep, all alone she'll wake
Around she goes spun in circles
'hard to live, harder to love'
And who knew under that cold coat of skin,
she looks back at her life
and now she's scared to fucking death of what has become

Lay My Head
02:52
|
|||
Bring me back, let me loathe
I haven't been there in so long
(the way it used to be, when it never lost its touch)
I may be a bit headstrong
or maybe the best days have come and gone
it's the same old endings, same worn out endings
I'm the illness that never fades, without you I'm nothing
So they say 'time will heal' but when?
So they say 'lay your head' and I'll settle in
Fade in, fade out
in every mind there's a share of doubt
but if I had the chance I would do it all over again
So build me up, so build me up how you need to
turned off, since my efforts are never enough
You're my illness that never fades
stomache turned, I'm collapsing
So they say 'time will heal' but when?
So they say 'lay your head'
Enough said, gripping tight
Let me rest my eyes, and lay my head...
