My Imagination 02:44

Welcome to my mind It’s a scary place Filled with creatures and Things with no face Keep your hands inside the ride at all times I’m sure you’re fond of them Don’t want to lose a limb Skies are turning gray Things aren’t looking up My mind’s a tangled mess I can’t get out of this My imagination It’s my enemy It keeps me seeing things I don’t want to see Skies are turning gray Things aren’t looking up My mind’s a tangled mess I can’t get out of this My imagination It’s my enemy It keeps me seeing things I don’t want to see Can you see it there , The line between worlds? One brighter than daylight The other dark as night. Please follow the path Don’t take any detours You might get dragged down too Don’t get dragged down too Skies are turning gray Things aren’t looking up My mind’s a tangled mess I can’t get out of this My imagination It’s my enemy It keeps me seeing things I don’t want to see Skies are turning gray Things aren’t looking up My mind’s a tangled mess I can’t get out of this My imagination It’s my enemy It keeps me seeing things I don’t want to see Get me out Get me out Get me out Get me out I can’t take this Clash of good and bad It’s not all in my mind I’m going crazy Skies are turning gray Things aren’t looking up My mind’s a tangled mess I can’t get out of this My imagination It’s my enemy It keeps me seeing things I don’t want to see Skies are turning gray Things aren’t looking up My mind’s a tangled mess I can’t get out of this My imagination It’s my enemy It keeps me seeing things I don’t want to see Skies are turning gray Things aren’t looking up My mind’s a tangled mess I can’t get out of this My imagination It’s my enemy It keeps me seeing things I don’t want to see

I see all these monsters they’re running right for me I don’t think I can get out There’s nothing else to do I guess I’ll go and hide In the corner of the room Cowering, afraid Missing my nightlight They said I’m way too old Escaped from my closet, not trapped under my bed I don’t think they can see me I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my Safe space I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my Safe space I thought I was safe I thought this was safe My safe space My safe space I see the escape I see the escape But I’m here to stay In my safe place My safe space My safe space My safe space My safe space It’s been like this for years But they never got free And still they threatened me I could hear them in my sleep, These insecurities Nobody will believe me They still live in fear of the light that’s inside me but the battery’s running low As fear swells inside me I have to remind me it’s just until the rooster crows I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my Safe space I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my Safe space I thought I was safe I thought this was safe My safe space My safe space I see the escape I see the escape But I’m here to stay In my safe place My safe space My safe space My safe space My safe space I’m trapped in (the walls) I’m stuck in (the shadows) They leave their stains, they leave their stains God help me (pull me out) I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my Safe space I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my I’m trapped in my Safe space I thought I was safe I thought this was safe My safe space My safe space I see the escape I see the escape But I’m here to stay In my safe place My safe space My safe space My safe space My safe space

The Biggest Lie 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Don’t like the mirror It lies to my face The face I wish was shards Laying across the floor Don’t like the scale It tells too much truth Of everything’s excess— Don’t allow access Don’t take my picture It adds ten pounds You can see my valleys and you can see my hills Go ahead without me, I’ll stay inside There isn’t much to do here but I guess I’ll survive I can hear it, I can hear it, The obsession I can hear it, I can hear it, The pressure of perfection For that photoshop working on my look Got that makeup covering my whole face You can’t tell me I look beautiful When the magazines tell me otherwise You can’t tell me I’m perfect the way I am Because perfection is the biggest lie God made me like this and He looked at me He called me perfect even with all my schemes But here I am backing up from that This flesh doesn’t want to believe This world has got me in a bind It says I won’t be satisfied Pucker up my lips Give myself away Believe in nothing they say there’s no point to pray I can hear it, I can hear it, The obsession I can hear it, I can hear it, The pressure of perfection For that photoshop working on my look Got that makeup covering my whole face You can’t tell me I look beautiful When the magazines tell me otherwise You can’t tell me I’m perfect the way I am Because perfection is the biggest lie Society expects us to be obediant and bow down to its expectations To bathe in our ignorance and ignore God’s voice killing our consciences with our pure selfishness We watch the hand that’s waving right in front of us Missing the trick—their slight of hand TV is lying and too blue for common sense In the future all that will be red is my blood that’s shed I can hear it, I can hear it, The obsession I can hear it, I can hear it, The pressure of perfection For that photoshop working on my look Got that makeup covering my whole face You can’t tell me I look beautiful When the magazines tell me otherwise You can’t tell me I’m perfect the way I am Because perfection is the biggest lie

Low 04:06

I can’t be proud of who I am cuz who I am is such a mess I’m the daughter of a king yet I act like a thief Which frog is a prince, this one, I guess I see the mountains and want to climb them Thinking everything will be fine then But there’s always a mountain further down the road And I may be a princess but that toad’s just a toad This life is the best one I could ever ask for But still I search for windows and doors my chains should be gone but I feel them tug As if I’m still hooked on its drug I heard it’s hard to quit cold-turkey Thank the Lord for this thing called mercy I’ve fallen deep into this trap, Lord Help me out ‘fore they use me as a dart board Now that I’m here, I feel As if there’s nothing left God, get me out of here I’m sinking into my chest There’s a cavity in me It’s become so empty They’ve got me feeling so Low Be in the world and not of it I try to live right above it Christian tattooed on my heart, My eyes, my fists, my feet, my tongue My actions don’t give me away Unless of course I’m in Your house Then I act like I belong to day But by nightfall, the fire for you is doused I can’t pretend like I’m perfect I can’t fake that for my family Then turn right around broken Because none of them can see right through me It’s like there’s red and white painted on my body The center of the target placed on my heart People poke at me with their horns and fists Smiling because they know I’ll resist Now that I’m here, I feel As if there’s nothing left God, get me out of here I’m sinking into my chest There’s a cavity in me It’s become so empty They’ve got me feeling so Low I’d chosen to be blind to everything in my mind I fight it with all I’ve got I’m starting to lose my mind The photographs don’t capture me The want of fame has been deceased I slaughtered it with my two hands I slaughtered me with my two hands Now that I’m here, I feel As if there’s nothing left God, get me out of here I’m sinking into my chest There’s a cavity in me It’s become so empty They’ve got me feeling so Low

Armageddon 05:44

Hold me, I can’t go to sleep These monstes in my head are keeping me awake and I can barely breathe There are things that will happen in the near future but remember that I love you When they bend the truth They say to stay away That I’m something I’m not, not They can’t decide which role is mine: A villain or a hero, hero. This skin is breakable, my heart is tanigble Their accusations fall flat They cannot have my tears They are not welcome here Take my humanity Over my dead body There’s a war that’s ahppening and it’s waging all around us Not just when we close our eyes, nor the one that’s raging inside Because I can see this fight, I am exhiled and thrown outside, called insane and a danger ot every- one who passes me by Everyone who passes me by They keep on whispering lies Terrified for their lives Terrified for their lives They say to stay away That I’m something I’m not, not They can’t decide which role is mine: A villain or a hero, hero. This skin is breakable, my heart is tanigble Their accusations fall flat They cannot have my tears They are not welcome here Take my humanity Over my dead body Armageddon, you’re a witness The sky falls down, they all cry out It’s not me, not my fault, not me, not me We’re all at fault, don’t pass blame Everyone who passes me by They keep on whispering lies Terrified for their lives Terrified for their lives They say to stay away That I’m something I’m not, not They can’t decide which role is mine: A villain or a hero, hero. This skin is breakable, my heart is tanigble Their accusations fall flat They cannot have my tears They are not welcome here Take my humanity Over my dead body

Sitting alone in my own apartment Wishing someone would knock on my door Nothing can describe this lonliness I push it away, I must endure So many things beating up my backbone It’s broken and sore, I don’t wanna stand These memories keep haunting me Crushing my sternum so I can’t breathe I’m fading I can’t see me. I can’t see me. Don’t run away I’m so afraid. I’m so afraid. I’m singing na na nanana na nana na na na nanana na nana na Don’t let me fall Everybody’s cast me out Saying that I’m beyond help The rain keeps pouring and I feel it soaking me And sometimes I long for eternal sleep I’m fading I can’t see me. I can’t see me. Don’t run away I’m so afraid. I’m so afraid. I’m singing na na nanana na nana na na na nanana na nana na Don’t let me fall I’m tryng to trust and I’m trying to love But my broken heart is not enough Don’t shove me into someone else’s hands I know I’m here cuz God’s got a plan I’m fading I can’t see me. I can’t see me. Don’t run away I’m so afraid. I’m so afraid. I’m singing na na nanana na nana na na na nanana na nana na Don’t let me fall na na nanana na nana na na na nanana na nana na na na nanana na nana na na na nanana na nana na na na nanana na nana na na na nanana na Nana na Don’t let me fall

Don't Set Me Free 03:44

There’s a world that Only I know It’s filled with secrets Scratches on the walls Their ears are closed and Their backs are turned There’s no one here To wipe my tears Cold and alone Sitting on my floor Wood biting into My knobby ankles The fun echoes, Drifting up the stairs Wraps around me But it doesn’t warm my chills Call me extreme, Call me a freak There’s so much more Behind my screams Call me extreme, Call me a freak There’s so much more Behind my screams I’m crying out Can you hear me I’m drowning, please Don’t set me free Why does everyone Worry so much? Pushing me around, As if that’ll help. All I want is A shoulder One to lean on Someone to understand Neon and black, They wage a war As my heart thumps To the rhythm of the storm I’ll stomp real loud Scream my lungs out Just hear my voice That’s all I need Call me extreme, call me a freak There’s so much more behind my screams I’m crying out can you hear me I’m drowning, please don’t set me free There’s nothing you can say to me Those pills won’t help, won’t be myself Not too far gone, you won’t believe I’m drowning, please don’t set me free I know you hear me I know you see me I warned you about this side of me So why are you just now leaving? I know you hear me Don’t make this worse for me I warned you about this side of me So why are you just now leaving? Call me whatever you want Call me extreme, call me a freak There’s so much more behind my screams I’m crying out can you hear me I’m drowning, please don’t set me free There’s nothing you can say to me Those pills won’t help, won’t be myself Not too far gone, you won’t believe I’m drowning, please don’t set me free

Let the Door Close 04:25

Maybe this time it won’t hurt so bad My heart’s on the table, hands above my head Everyone keeps saying, this is for the best But I’m a boomerang. I can’t help but come back. When will I learn? When will I return? If this is what you want, then you have got to let me go If this is where we part, then I am ready… To let… the door… close. Come with me. So tempting. The cuts wounds you left in me, I can feel them start to bleed In a secret garden, you hide away Indestructable lock but there is no key, you forgot to give it to me When will I learn? When will I return? If this is what you want, then you have got to let me go If this is where we part, then I am ready… To let… the door… close.

Elbow Room 03:39

Anger’s got a hold on me Its had its way, but it suffocating I’m being dragged down by my own sin Turning to ruins from within I’ve tried so hard but it won’t let go How did I lose all my self-control? It’s somehow mended to who I am— It’s so powerful, everything else is jammed Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room The sky won’t fall, your heart won’t quit Let me be selfish a bit Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room The embers seem to turn to flames Doesn’t take much to cast the blame Restless from the screaming voice It makes it seem like I’ve got no choice I’ve tried so hard but it won’t let go How did I lose all my self-control? I can be angry and not sin But the terrible thoughts still creep in Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room The sky won’t fall, your heart won’t quit Let me be selfish a bit Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room I’m just a shadow passing through you The clouds following close behind me Do’nt speak or I might snap like a cyinic Every smile my way returned with a grimace I’ve tried so hard but it won’t let go How did I lose all my self-control? Am I so angry becasue I suppress it beneath happiness, Or is there something big I’m missing through my busyness? Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room The sky won’t fall, your heart won’t quit Let me be selfish a bit Give me a little bit, little bit Little bit of elbow room

The streets are full, I’ve got no luck I can’t find you, I’ve lost my way The faces blur, It’s a nightmare I still need you no matter what I say The rain pours down, everyone runs But here I am still storming through it I want to say I’m infected You’re in my mind and I can’t get you out And I keep returning As if I like the pain, yeah can’t keep my attention from you oh, you know I like it, you know I like it And I keep returning As if I like the pain, yeah can’t keep my attention from you oh, you know I like it, you know I like it I see you, you’re so composed And look at me, my heart’s in ruins The blight is, is covering me And yet it’s my fault in the first place We don’t match, and yet we fit so good I don’t understand how this even works I’m a drama queen, but you’re the traitor The king’s gotta take care of his love And I keep returning As if I like the pain, yeah can’t keep my attention from you oh, you know I like it, you know I like it And I keep returning As if I like the pain, yeah can’t keep my attention from you oh, you know I like it, you know I like it Although sometimes it doesn’t hurt Sometimes it’s me who overreacts I can’t stop coming back to you You hold my heart in your hands

It seems as though I can’t escape The likeness we both resonate At first I thought it was cool It was great that I could relate And then things darkened and the clouds rolled in A new sense of reality has developed within I’ll look ahead and see my own path But they’re the same as yours. They’re the same as yours. Again and again I am reminded of who I am, And it’s shattering, the character I parallel. Time again and through and through, I am reminded that I am a real-life you. To go so far for the people I love To take on the burden and push, push away On and on, and through and through I am reminded that I am the real-life you I’m sad. That, I can admit. I’ve learned so much from watching you live It’s the reason I speak about what’s in my head But still I disassociate from them I can’t help but be angry I want to cry till I bleed I don’t know if this reflection of you is a good thing Or if it’s destroying the very fabric of my being I feel so cliche because you’re the lead, And me saying I’m you in good and in bad, But I can’t hide the truth from myself And it terrifies me beyond words. So I’ll wear MY mask until I can show my face Because I thought it was shifting but wasn’t right It turns out I’ve not changed at all And I’m ashamed because I’m not strong enough to stop my fall Unh Again and again I am reminded of who I am, And it’s shattering, the character I parallel. Time again and through and through, I am reminded that I am a real-life you. To go so far for the people I love To take on the burden and push, push away On and on, and through and through I am reminded that I am the real-life you Wanna know the difference between us? My voice is just a bit louder than yours But even that’s a flat-out lie There is no difference. Again and again I am reminded of who I am, And it’s shattering, the character I parallel. Time again and through and through, I am reminded that I am a real-life you. To go so far for the people I love To take on the burden and push, push away On and on, and through and through I am reminded that I am the real-life you Why did you have to tell your story? Why did I have to listen? Maybe my eyes were opened but this burns Every impulse reminds me of you Paint me on a panel and I’ll be your twin Write my words down and you’ll see yours blend We’ll destroy ourselves before anyone else And the tears will fall as we fight with ourselves I’m not gonna pick a fight with you Because you can’t even fight back The world is wrong and we’re all to blame And because of them, this is what we became We’re Monsters We walk with a foot in both worlds. Chaos consumes everyone else And we’re swept up in it. Again and again I am reminded of who I am, And it’s shattering, the character I parallel. Time again and through and through, I am reminded that I am a real-life you. To go so far for the people I love To take on the burden and push, push away On and on, and through and through I am reminded that I am the real-life you I’m not gonna pick a fight with you Because you can’t even fight back The world is wrong and we’re all to blame And because of them, this is what we became
