Worlds Away
03:06
|
|||
Worlds away, how can I reach you?
I count the days that go by without you
All the words I’ve left unsaid
Will they follow me to my grave?
So many chances wasted away
And I still can’t reach you
Hours crawl by, the walls close in
No visit outside can ease what’s within
These ideas inside my head
I carry with me to my bed
This won’t change til I see you again
And still no word from you
I can’t sleep while I keep inside these words
That want to speak and could forever change our worlds
Worlds away, if only you knew
I wait another day pretending I’ll hear from you
All the words I’ve wanted to say
All that’s left here lingering
With all the chances gone to waste
How long can I live this way?

Savior
04:02
|

Flashes of light through the night I’m wide awake
Sanctuary for me I can’t keep when I’m your sacred place
And you take, and you take, and you take, and it’s never enough
Til I break, with mistakes, then you see I’m not some perfect god
I am not the savior that you seek
I can’t bare the weight of your prayers
don’t worship me
Your life in my hands this demand it’s so unfair
Now where has my time gone? Are my rights wrong? You’re not getting better
And you take, and you take, and you take, when will this stop?
It’s too late and I hate what we create and still you want it all
I am not the savior that you seek
I can’t bare the weight of your prayers
don’t worship me
It’s not that I don’t care
Now that I can’t be there
Did all I could to help
Only you can save yourself, Because
I am not the savior that you seek
I can’t bare the weight of your prayers
don’t worship me
There’s only so much I can give away today
I know exactly what tomorrow will bring because, because of yesterday

Darkness Falls
04:50
|
|||
Leaving you behind I can’t forgive
Though you understand I can barely breathe
Know you’ll live on where ever I go
The deepest part of me will never let go
Time stands still
No words between us
I feel a chill
The end has found us
As the sun sets on our regrets
The moon leads the tragedy
In the dark breeze, hear our memories
This air takes my core
And I’m changed forevermore
Til I die I’ll be missing you
I try not to cry, I can barely move
Such a strong heart where you buried your love
My heart grew heavy never feeling good enough
When darkness falls
All around you
Remember all
I saw in you
As the sun sets on our regrets
The moon leads the tragedy
In the dark breeze, hear our memories
This air takes my core
And I’m changed forevermore
Time stands still
All around me
What can fill
This void inside me
As the sun sets on our regrets
The moon leads the tragedy
In the dark breeze, hear our memories
This air takes my core
And I’m changed forevermore

Fading Star
04:13
|
|||
So far from home I've come to find you on my own
Just a flicker to your flame, So many burned by what they can’t tame
And I’m tainted by the mist
And I've been raptured by your kiss
And I am more each time you sing with me
My Dark Knight
Brightened by the limelight
In awe I go blind
Then the curtain falls and fades
I see the fading star that I can’t save
Voices overhead roaring with the pulse inside my chest
A sea of eyes to give me flight, don’t fail me now we need to rise
And the poison past your lips
Show me the strengthening of your grip
That’s wrapped in every word you speak to me
My Dark Knight
Brightened by the limelight
In awe I go blind
Then the curtain falls and fades
I see the fading star that I can’t save
I loathe what you've become
But I love you so undone
And I am taken by your majesty
My Dark Knight
Brightened by the limelight
In awe I go blind
This black hole
Once your soul
Draws me close
The final curtain falls and fades
I see the only star that I can’t wish away…

Stranger
03:11
|

Dead air stands still, what I’ve lost I can’t fill
Deep breathes fall short, empty words, search for more
Drowned in the night, grasping for light
Please draw the shades, close my eyes and
Fall into me, feel what I feel
Crawl into me, know this is real
Pieces fall away, broken mind, thoughts decay
And if I scream…
Will I call a savior to me?
Fall into me, feel what I feel
Crawl into me, know this is real
Tonight all I need is someone here
Until morning breaks please stay near
Dead air stands still
Fall into me, feel what I feel
Crawl into me, know this is real
Pieces fall away, broken mind, thoughts decay
And if I scream…
Will I call a saviour to me?

Where I Fall
04:44
|
|||
With nowhere left to go
and words become hard
and lose all meaning
On my face it won’t show
You’ll never know, what lies below, though you think you know me
I hid to begin, beside myself again
To where I fall, to where I lose it all
To where I fall, to where I heed my call
I’m not ashamed, I won’t complain
And I don’t owe you to explain
To where I fall, to where I understand it all
This world can run me dry
Validations, an empty high
I only need myself to survive
So if you “love” me, let me go, don’t drown this in denial
I fade with the sunlight
It’s where I belong tonight
To where I fall, to where I lose it all
To where I fall, to where I heed my call
I’m not ashamed, I won’t complain
And I don’t owe you to explain
To where I fall, to where I fall
Expectations run so high way past the sky
I beg of you give me this time
It’s all that is mine
Let there be no light, Let there be no one in sight
To where I fall, to where I lose it all
To where I fall, to where I heed my call
I’m not afraid, I know this shade
And I don’t owe you to explain
To where I fall, to where I understand it all

Dance on The Strings
03:24
|
|||
I know you love her, but its like no other
Bending til you break, the pressure you take
Falling to demand without hesitation
It’s never enough, but you don’t give up
As You
Dance on the strings she’s sewn to your heart
I’m watching you fade as you’re pulled to the dark
I can’t reach your soul while she’s taken hold
I can no longer watch you dance on these strings
Unwavering devotion through twisted emotions
They hollow you out, surround you in doubt
But I know the real you, look deep inside you
she’s led you so blind to leave us behind
So You
Dance on the strings she’s sewn to your heart
I’m watching you fade as you’re pulled to the dark
I can’t reach your soul while she’s taken hold
I can no longer watch you dance on
These Strings that bind you
Trap and entwined you
I wait for them to come loose
Or is it too late?
While You
Dance on the strings
She’s sewn to your heart
Watching your dreams
pulled to the dark

Dangerous Game
04:44
|
|||
Reaching and grasping for what’s not there
All I have for you I can’t see, but I feel like the air
Hands outstretched I can’t catch your attention and how I’ve tried
It seems I’ve grown dull on you and what’s worse is these uncovered lies
I stand in disbelief as the ground caves under me
How long has this gone on? How many more have you done so wrong?
Under your spell it’s an uncertain hell, and a slow break, one I know too well
The divine were so kind to gift you that angelic face
How I thought you matched that inside, but now I’ve come to find that’s not the case
And your coven, so loving, hang onto your every word
But once they are swept off their feet the noose will release on your curse
I can’t stand what I see, now that you can’t face me
How long has this gone on? How many more have you done so wrong?
Under your spell it’s an uncertain hell, and a slow break, one I know too well
Come moths towards the flame, burn up and be tamed
I escaped, and I bare the scars, his dangerous game I now watch from afar
How long has this gone on? How many more have you done so wrong?
Under your spell it’s an uncertain hell, and a slow break, one I know too well
I stand in disbelief as the ground caves under me
I can’t stand what I see, now that you can’t face me

Your Mind
04:26
|
|||
Why can’t you say what you mean to me?
I can’t escapes, these moments feel so safe
We don’t even have to try
There’s nothing left from you to hide
I’m lost in your mind
What keeps me here I can not seem to find
I’ve tried to leave this behind
But with you I’d rather waste my time
Your every word I hold onto
I hear your voice before my every move
Your thoughts are a maze that never ends
I long for the need to be free of them
I’m lost in your mind
What keeps me here I can not seem to find
I’ve tried to leave this behind
But with you I’d rather waste my time
If now is not our time
Tell me then when will you ever be mine
I’m lost in your mind
What keeps me here I can not seem to find
I’ve tried to leave this behind
But with you I’d rather waste my time

Masquerade
03:38
|
|||
What a mess we have made
I played along with your little charade
A pet that you thought you could tame
I refuse my face in your masquerade
I’m growing hollow, it’s hard to follow
Who you want me to be
My truth I must deceive
In your eyes all I see
Is who you want me to be
That’s just not me
So I was a marionette to pass the time
To the child who was raised just like a mime
This broken doll you can’t hang on a wall
But somehow I think now for I am so small
I feel so shallow, it’s hard to swallow
Who you want me to be
My truth I must deceive
In your eyes all I see
Is who you want me to be
That’s just not me
I can’t dance with this mannequins or act like I’m one of them
For you I’d give anything, but not the last of me
Who you want me to be
My truth I must deceive
In your eyes all I see
Is who you want me to be
That’s just not me

Warn Me
04:02
|
|||
Starlight, twilight, there’s no wind in the trees
Trembling, aching, I have never known thee
I lose my sight, they take the breath from me
Voices of undead filling up inside my head
So come for me and walk with me, show your face to me
So come with me to the great deep, I want to believe
They did warn me, now I can’t leave
Take me night breeze, under the eyes in the…
I awake to find I can’t move so freely
Fire casts silhouettes of webs and bodies
I lay and wait, hope it’s painless and clean
Final breath, to death, my gasp a silent scream
So come for me and talk to me, show your face to me
So come to me, I’m yours to keep, now I believe
They did warn me, now I can’t leave
Take me night breeze, under the eyes in the…
You did warn me because you believed
In these old stories under the skies of the deceased
I’m not alone, too far from home
I’m not alone, too far from home
