It’s hard to make peace with change When all your skin has aged Friends have gone away Do you pray that the words you say Will make the return? Dusk will extinguish the day With your hair that’s black and grey Your final resting place With a headstone that’s been misplaced Stained glass and widowed birds Reflect what you’ve learned for the first time That you won’t be around Direct me so that you will be mine Don’t be my sweet little let down What stays buried with the withered and weak Old secrets and permanent sleep Crumbled bones and unopened eyes Broken clocks with useless lies The day the earth stood still Reflect what you learned for the second time That you won’t be around Direct me so that you will be mine Don’t be my sweet little let down My sweet little let down

Vanish 04:03 video
Let’s try to keep an eye focused on All the time that goes by Because I’ve spent too much And I’ve wasted enough of yours I’m sure you are Too busy to put the phone down To try and enjoy yourself Once this passes the moments gone The moments gone Everyone will vanish in your hometown While you will be the one who never backed out You wonder why we are all broken down We fell so far behind We repent and judge But we have waited long enough To know that You can’t put a price on a piece of mind So try to become aware Because once this passes the moments gone The moments gone You used to hear the whispers through the hallway Now every time you walk through the sound delays You used to hear the whispers through the hallway Everyone will vanish in your hometown While you will be the one who never backed out

They can see you’re not the same you have grown tired There will be no one to blame you have to re-wire The way you lived before is so outdated Everyone around can tell you’re so frustrated When I’m with you the sky seems brighter Just lend me your ears when you grow tired I want to be around so that you can hear the sound You can only truly endear in complete alliance They have seen what you became so uninspired What will you need to say to be admired? The way you act right now is so overrated Everyone can tell you’re so frustrated I’m restless and outspoken I’ve watched the words fall from my hands Create me from a fracture Was I made from pieces of a broken man? Please will you pull me away dear Please will you pull me away Please will you pull me away dear And take me to a better place When I’m with you the sky seems brighter Just lend me your ears when you grown tired I want to be around around so that you can hear the sound You can only truly endear in complete alliance

Kenopsia 03:52
The crowds used to gather here Year after year Now you have an eerie feeling You’re the last one around In this one horse town You are the only one kneeling You can hear the trees sway When you used to hear kids say I am sure am hopeful for the future Will we ever believe in each other? You would never leave behind your brothers Will we ever believer in each other? Look at me face to face now So how do I think about this place? Day after day I wonder what is so appealing And when you’re feeling down In this old ghost town You will stare at the ceiling And wonder who you could have been But every now and then You look around Save yourself the torture Will we ever believe in each other? You would never leave behind your brothers Will we ever believer in each other? Look at me face to face now

It’s so hard to try and move on when Every word your speaking has no effect To everyone around who said they were listening Clearly had their ears closed to some respect It feels like I’ve been living this decade With nothing I have to show for (nothing I can show for) With all my empty pockets and promises I’ve clearly thrown my hands up for the last time You are what you do you are not what you say When you’ve done so much to live off a phrase You start to wonder if you’ll make it out alive It seems that I have hidden in silence Everything that I believed in…what did I believe in? All of my fears of the wicked and wonderful Are sitting behind these closed doors for the last time You are what you do and not what you say When you’ve done so much to live You are what you do and not what you say When you’ve done so much to live off a phrase You start to wonder if you’ll make it out alive

Shiver 03:57 video
If ignorance is bliss than you must be content Escaping to the thoughts that attempt to deliver Turn your back to those with good intent Will there ever be a time you do not shiver? You are watching the same fall You thought no one would notice You thought no one would care There’s always someone willing to help you But no one can if you don’t share Because today are you willing to give the world away The one that spins in the other direction The day will come when you want to explain Your need for love and affection The pictures in your mind you used to paint Sitting all alone down by the river Hanging by the threads you can’t undo No thoughts to keep you warm you will not shiver You are watching the same fall

Hypnotist 03:52
Close your eyes and go to sleep This time you will surely dream You might just have to look around When you see you will be sure Things aren’t always what they seem This time you will surely see When you’re ready to settle down You will hear the sound of her The sound of her You’ll be back when I count to ten I really don’t want to start over again I have seen your face before Lying down across the floor I can feel the cold air As your reflection stands there Now your voice is wearing thin I really don’t want to start over again Here I rest it’s after ten I don’t know where and I don’t know when How to begin It’s been too long since I’ve been gone and How does this end? I think it’s time for me to let you go now I have seen your face before Lying down across the floor I can feel the cold air As your reflection stands there You’ll be gone when I count to ten I never thought I would be alone again I never thought I would be alone again

Belittled 03:49
Are you tired of being belittled? You’ve been pushed all the way to the back And now you’re stuck somewhere in the middle With no plan of attack It will take everything to move forward But remember to stay on track Don’t distract your way to the bottom Living for a love you won’t get back You’re reluctant and tired From a lack of desire You’ve been criticized around Caught living with your face down in the dirt Are you tired of being belittled? Like a person who was down on their luck Have you signed a deal with the devil From the last nerve you struck It will take everything you once had So that you can move ahead Don’t drown yourself in the bottle From a love that you misread You’re reluctant and tired From a lack of desire You’ve been criticized around Caught living with your face down in the dirt You won’t believe in Others and how you treat them You’re reluctant and tired From a lack of desire You’ve been criticized around Caught living with your face down in the dirt

Turn around and realize there are loved ones that are here to hold There comes a time and reason why you have to face what you’ve been told Will you stand down and drop the crown A pride I wish you never held You will stand out From the unfaithful crowd A place you knew you didn’t belong There was a fire inside that used to burn Now all that’s left are the ashes There was a dire song we used to sing Now all that remains are the pieces

All We Have 04:50
It’s not all that bad but it’s not all that great When you’re learning to live for what you create Will you be all that glad Will it be worth the wait Are you wasting your time on those you can’t relate? Broken bodies will make you bite the hand that doesn’t feed you It’s hard to grow When you don’t plant the seed It can not be that bad When you have time to prove That it can not be that bad Unless you are the one to choose It’s not all that great but it’s not all that bad Live for today but forget what you had Remember the times you had nothing to give You’ll never be the type to die and let live Broken bodies despise empty hands with fuller minds All you’ll ever know What they may never see It can not be that bad When you have time to prove That it can not be that bad Unless you are the one to choose It can not be that bad Will it always be? It can not be that bad Will it always be?

How do you sleep? When the pain is real Another walk through Just an average day You can’t tell a soul They won’t understand What you’ve been through You missed a lifetime All I ever wanted was to make you feel All I ever needed was to have you here When you’re in the deep It’s easy to conceal The love that you had Was never real The thoughts that you may have Will make you understand That you may never Have another chance All I ever wanted was to make you feel All I ever needed was to have you here All I ever wanted was to make you feel All I ever needed was to have you by my side I will never leave you with pain or fear I will never stay to give you hope my dear I won’t ever believe you, you’ll be back again I won’t ever trust what you’re worth when You will never open your eyes Open your eyes
