In Death 04:36
lyrics
buy track
it begins unequivocally, a startling reality of hope where all your inner galaxies reverberate the empathy of ghosts and a hundred million harmonies combine to form a melody of gold where all this raging beauty is just another glory to behold it proceeds independently, devoid of any semblance of a sin controlled by the very thing you thought you'd had inside but lost within it destroys all impurities, incinerates the wreckage and the dross but keeps instead the spirit you've always run around but never lost it concludes in infinites, a highway of eternities in dreams where all your weary memories are taken to be ripped up at the seams and all the wrong emotions that have washed up like an ocean in your world are taken by a lover who never leaves his flags unfurled

it's in the air that i breathe it's in the things that i dream it's in the ones that i love it knows the things that you do it knows the ones that you've used it knows the problems you've solved over and over and over again i won't say how and i can't say when i try to be there for you i try to see what you do i try to look from above all my life i try to be the words you say they aren't true the words you say can't be true the words you say are not right the times i've been there were hard the times i ripped out my heart the times i cried in the night time after time and time and again you won't say how and you can't say when i never told you the truth i never showed you the proof i never went out of sight all my life i try to be somebody

lyrics

so i say i'm through putting up with this stupid shit i do it's a wondrous hypocrisy a glorious depravity but still i close my eyes and lie to you it begins like this a sensation to appease my beating chest to perpetuate the malady enlivening the tragedy declining me to find my peace and rest it's not your fault this time it's all i know in my mind it leads me on a nighttime to replace my every dawn repeating all my history of silence into misery stumbling over every vow i've sung till i get too much and depend on every words like it's a crutch a propensity for unbelief inclinations for a sweet release absent of a feeling or a touch it's not your fault this time it's all i know in my mind lord, save me from myself

Feel 05:39
lyrics

once again, i am losing all the time i am using once again, i've thrown it all away i can feel the bottom fall i don't think about it all yet i know what my family thinks of me i open up the world to every single thing i close off myself to all the life it brings open up your heart, it just takes a little bit longer open up your heart, it makes you a little bit stronger if you got it, than you feel it if you feel it, than you need it open up your heart, it just takes a little bit longer now by now, i am seeing the life i am leading by now, i've used up everything i am one just like a fool i am done with all my rules yet i know what my country thinks of me it's in the spaces that i cannot see it's in the secrets, it's in everything open up your heart, it just takes a little bit longer open up your heart, it makes you a little bit stronger if you got it, than you feel it if you feel it, than you need it open up your heart, it just takes a little bit longer now and even if i'm dying i am still relying on a universe i've seen inside of dreams constantly this fighting we are still denying words to pick us up and rip apart the seems open up your heart, it just takes a little bit longer open up your heart, it makes you a little bit stronger if you got it, than you feel it if you feel it, than you need it open up your heart, it just takes a little bit longer now

Teenage Love 06:30
lyrics

you say "i love you" when you're young plan a wedding in the sun you think things will never change it seems god works in a different way you call her up, say "we are through" cause that's what you've always planned to do and you'll do it again and again you're a boy, you're not a man blind hope will lead you home spread the lie that you're alone blind love is all you see a distressing hypocrisy all we ever wanted was to be seen a dressing to address the wound that we need clean

Do You See It 05:35
lyrics
buy track
so to grow, you weed out all the pictures that you've shown to all of your friends so he said, it's the end but you come you feel this way instead you watch all your hopes grow you don't know anymore it's a game you don't know the last time you saw the rain break down a door it's nothing more than remorse for all of the words you tried to make the thorn that's in your side the wound you try to hide how come every pair of eyes takes you through your former lives do you see it even when you're at your worst there's nothing that could quench this thirst do you see it now you know that every risk you take just goes to show you need it to end once again things are dead and you are left on your own tonight helpless and afraid never saying anything how come every pair of eyes takes you through your former lives do you see it even when you're at your worst there's nothing that could quench this thirst do you see it

The Second Mile 04:55
lyrics
buy track
and so, we know that wrong is right and hatred pays for fights that we always buy back we see the beauty in their eyes a pocketful of lies for the ones we like more we feel the child move a skipping groove we pretend we can't see we say that ignorance is bliss it's our inheritance i don't want part in this now who will teach the children how to love and soon, justice will demand the raising of one's hand to affirm and reprove but here, our justice is a game an ember not a flame of the things we once loved so a child's life is not worth strife cause it does not concern us you say that innocence is true but wait till evil's through i don't know what to do now who will teach the children how to love

A Lie, A Fake 03:38
lyrics
buy track
i can't tell where the hell you're going or what story that you're showing all the girls just as well, i wouldn't even hear it i've only ever feared it in my world responsibility is a word you couldn't manage when you took off like a savage and my time to you is worth nothing anymore than i could take it it's a challenge, i won't make it anyway every night forgiveness creeps up slowly but i won't let it control me till you're gone in my life, it's not something that i dwell on it's not easy to just tell someone it hurts improbability is all that i can lean on when i make my words come clean on every count we all come from some mess that we can't clean up a sense that we have dreamed up all of this

Unless You Say So 04:26
lyrics
buy track
if i'm up all night and sleep all day will i ever learn to chase my dreams away head them up in some strange mystery i can hold some hands and break some hearts make amends and make new starts if someone tells me what i want to be it's all for free it's all for me unless you say so there's nothing worse than a person stressed you know the thing that i most detest empty sorrows ringing through my head a dreamer knows when he's had too much faintly trembles at the slightest touch dazing out of every word you said it's all for free it's all for me unless you say so so we can have each other if we want to see how to love and not be free to break our wills and find ourselves at home i will sleep all night and dream all day and wake up to the summer rain hopefully not hopelessly alone it's all for you it's all i do unless you say so
