Coward
02:39

This road’s pretty empty
Like my heart of lies
Each one tattooed
Showing where I’ve been
White streaks in the middle
Like little spurts of truth
Hidden in the midst of tar
Thick and black and staining
I always run
But I never turn back
Disintegrating,
I’ve turned to a corpse
My muscles hold together my bones
Because I’m a coward, I am alone
The steering wheel pulls
Begging me to go back
I wasn’t finished there
There’s more than just that
Miles of green stretch on,
Glowing in the moonlight
Reminding me of myself
As it sings a lullaby.
I always run
But I never turn back
Disintegrating,
I’ve turned to a corpse
My muscles hold together my bones
Because I’m a coward, I am alone
The only soul on the road
Is the one that crashed into me
Metal sprawled out on the grass
blood dripping from our seats
The only soul on the road
Is the one that crashed into me
Metal sprawled out on the grass
blood dripping from our seats
I always run
But I never turn back
Disintegrating,
I’ve turned to a corpse
My muscles hold together my bones
Because I’m a coward, I am alone

Something About You
03:23
|
|||
Tears in my eyes cuz you’re freaking gorgeous
Too many people that are in between us
You’ve got me going weak in the knees
Explain how this all changed on me, please
Used to, I’d punch you in the arm
Saying that you cause yourself harm
Back on the playground in elementry
Ten years later, do you recognize me?
You caught me off-guard
It’s never been so hard
To hide my feelings for you
I promise that this is the truth
So much has changed now
I’ve got to keep this down
Word-vomit might be my death
Give that face a rest
You sit before me and we catch up, now
Disbelief is where I sit now
Recognize you haven’t changed a bit, but
That’s okay ‘cuz I always loved it
You’ve grown in height and I see you’ve matured
I can’t belive you’re the same freaking turd
That would chase me around the school yard
Frick, this is so fricking hard
You caught me off-guard
It’s never been so hard
To hide my feelings for you
I promise that this is the truth
So much has changed now
I’ve got to keep this down
Word-vomit might be my death
Give that face a rest
Hands to your eyes, you can’t control it
There’s something about you that makes me lose it
I don’t think that I can get me through it
There’s something about you that makes me lose it
Hands to my ears so I cannot hear you
I don’t think that I wanna be near you
There’s something about you that makes me lose it
There’s something about you that makes me lose it
You caught me off-guard
It’s never been so hard
To hide my feelings for you
I promise that this is the truth
So much has changed now
I’ve got to keep this down
Word-vomit might be my death
Give that face a rest

The River
03:45
|
|||
There’s the river that flows between us
It seperatesand permeates
Nothing’s safe anymore
It overflows and reaches for more
Greedy little fingers made out of moss
As our eyes find their gloss
There’s nothing to it, this forgetting stuff
You say it, but I’ll call your bluff
Come on, let it wash away
There’s nothing here that will make you stay
You’re convinced we’re supposed to be
Seperated, but look at me.
Come on, let it wash away
Pushing away all the pain
If we can’t work on this on our own,
Then I guess I’ll DIE ALONE
I cannot hide that everything’s wrong
When it seemed so right all along
I’m bruised and battered these rapids won’t quit
You won’t help me, though I’ve fallen in.
It’s cold as ice and I’m soaked to the bone
I watch as you turn to go home
Leaving me to drift away
But now I am so afraid
Come on, let it wash away
There’s nothing here that will make you stay
You’re convinced we’re supposed to be
Seperated, but look at me.
Come on, let it wash away
Pushing away all the pain
If we can’t work on this on our own,
Then I guess I’ll DIE ALONE
The ground is underneath me now
My limbs are slowly waking up
It’s time for me to stand my ground
Keep this new feeling I’ve found
I don’t need you
You made me miserable
I was never halved
It isn’t you who makes me whole
Come on, let it wash away
There’s nothing here that will make me stay
I’m convinced we’re supposed to be
Seperated, so listen to me.
Come on, let it wash away
I have dealt with all my pain
If you learn from this on your own,
Then I guess you’ll DIE ALONE

For Now
05:23
|

Sometimes,
You can’t look back
There’s too much in the way
Taking up your space
This is
Your strength in the making
Don’t underestimate
It’s never too late
You can fight it
Even when you fall
It’s not a waste of time
It’s all in your mind
Come on, you can do it.
I believe in you
You don’t need that crutch
Please get up and walk
I will be right here
And I won’t let you down
I won’t let you cry
I won’t let you die
Just keep breathing for now
Keep breathing for now
I know
I know it’s hard
To keep living like this
Ignorance is bliss
Come on,
You can get through this
It might not go away
But you will find your strength
You don’t need that crutch
Please get up and walk
I will be right here
And I won’t let you down
I won’t let you cry
I won’t let you die
Just keep breathing for now
Keep breathing for now
You
Are strong
You
Are going to get through this
I know it
I know it
I know it
I know it
You don’t need that crutch
Please get up and walk
I will be right here
And I won’t let you down
I won’t let you cry
I won’t let you die
Just keep breathing for now
Keep breathing for now

Useless, Broken Wings
04:03
|
|

I hear your concerns
They always reach my ears
There’s nothing that can pass me when it comes to us
The world is all the same
All passing up on blame
And it falls on us, the ones with old souls
We see things so different
People don’t take it
They think we don’t practice tolerence
Well I have had enough
I think you have too
I’m sick of being so dang see-through
Hey, let’s take our dreams and run
There’s no reason to stay
Behind and cry
I won’t let us lose our minds
In here we’re so confined
They stuck us in a cage
As if we’re birds
With our useless, broken wings
Don’t let them win
We won’t let them win
This is our war
They're gonna hear our side
In here we’re so confined
They stuck us in a cage
As if we’re birds
With our useless, broken wings
They think we’re useless
But we have the guns
The guts and the brawns to say no
Who do they think they’re fooling?
I’m not a part of the mass
That swells with their papercuts in hand
They’re selfish and cruel
Blinded to the famine,
Don’t belive in violence, yet they beat us down
It’s time to rise up
Paint the world with red
Look at me, I don’t think this is the end
Hey, let’s take our dreams and run
There’s no reason to stay
Behind and cry
I won’t let us lose our minds
In here we’re so confined
They stuck us in a cage
As if we’re birds
With our useless, broken wings
Don’t let them win
We won’t let them win
This is our war
They're gonna hear our side
In here we’re so confined
They stuck us in a cage
As if we’re birds
With our useless, broken wings
It’s time to rise up
Paint the world with red
Look at me, I don’t think this is the end
There are people starving
And we’re obsessed with ourselves
Look at me, I don’t think this is the end
There’s so much left to do
Let’s paint the world with red
Everyone is blue and blind all the time
So let’s take our words and run
Put our focus somewhere else
There’s so much to do and I can’t die knowing that
Hey, let’s take our dreams and run
There’s no reason to stay
Behind and cry
I won’t let us lose our minds
In here we’re so confined
They stuck us in a cage
As if we’re birds
With our useless, broken wings
Don’t let them win
We won’t let them win
This is our war
They're gonna hear our side
In here we’re so confined
They stuck us in a cage
As if we’re birds
With our useless, broken wings

Jabberwocky
03:10
|
|||
There’s a whole world you’ll never see
Standing in plain view but they won’t let you breathe
Distracted by the Tumtum tree,
You forget there’s a Jabberwocky
Their secrets lie where you hide
Away from all the lies
And there you’ll see them stumbling
Struggling to recall their lines
Explosions around you
But they already knew
Liars and hypocracy
They distract you from the truth
There’s a whole world you’ll never see
Standing in plain view but they won’t let you breathe
Distracted by the Tumtum tree,
You forget there’s a Jabberwocky
The lights and the music, they’ve got you in a trance
Whole body shaking as you move to their will
There’s a new meaning to slavery
But you knew that, didn’t you?
There’s a whole world you’ll never see
Standing in plain view but they won’t let you breathe
Distracted by the Tumtum tree,
You forget there’s a Jabberwocky
Their secrets lie where you hide
Away from all the lies
There’s a new meaning to slavery
But you knew that, didn’t you?

Forgotten
03:16
|

My back was feeling too comfortable
Why don’t you stick it with another blade?
Those knives of yours sure are shiny
I bet you sharpen them in your spare time
Hate me again, why don’t you?
Hate me again
There’s nothing I can say or do
That can stop you
So stick me again with another blade
It seems what I learned has started to fade
Maybe I can’t take the pain
But it’s you who must remove my stain
I left a mark but that’s all I am
Against your ribs, your heart it slams
With pleasure as you lies allure
But it’s you who must endure
Hip to hip, we never left eachother’s side
Looking at it now, I think it’s all a lie
You’re like a wolf baring its teeth, but
you’re all bark, and by the end, it stings
So many times you’ve broken my trust
Guess I haven’t had enough
Each time, it’s like I forget
So here I come, ready to start again
So stick me again with another blade
It seems what I learned has started to fade
Maybe I can’t take the pain
But it’s you who must remove my stain
I left a mark but that’s all I am
Against your ribs, your heart it slams
With pleasure as you lies allure
But it’s you who must endure
Hate me again, why don’t you?
Hate me again
There’s nothing I can say or do
That can stop you
Hate me again, why don’t you?
Hate me again
Let’s bury the hatchet, let’s burn this coffin
Let this be forgotten
So stick me again with another blade
It seems what I learned has started to fade
Maybe I can’t take the pain
But it’s you who must remove my stain
I left a mark but that’s all I am
Against your ribs, your heart it slams
With pleasure as you lies allure
But it’s you who must endure

Don't Have to be Alone
03:54
|

Lead me to Your heart
Fill these question marks
I have so much to say
Please don’t turn me away
I can see the line where bad meets good
I can feel there’s something missing, something wrong
I know You’re always with me
I know I can’t stand alone
There’s something peaceful about you
I don’t have to be alone
The darkness runs, You’re a shining light
I know I can’t stand alone
You’re right there through day and night
I don’t have to be alone
(I don’t have to be alone)
They say Your name as if it’s cursed
They won’t believe it’s the only way
So here I am, hoping for the best
Because my emotions need a rest
I know You’re always with me
I know I can’t stand alone
There’s something peaceful about you
I don’t have to be alone
The darkness runs, You’re a shining light
I know I can’t stand alone
You’re right there through day and night
I don’t have to be alone
Slowly, the world rejects You
Finding home in a pit of despair
Clinging to anything, lashing out at everything
But still, I reach up to You, for you live on, that is the truth
I know You’re always with me
I know I can’t stand alone
There’s something peaceful about you
I don’t have to be alone
The darkness runs, You’re a shining light
I know I can’t stand alone
You’re right there through day and night
I don’t have to be alone
I know I can’t stand alone
I don’t have to be alone

My Army
02:10
|
|||
Everybody wants me on the ground
hands held up high, no weapons are found
There’s too many people so they take me down
(There’s too many people so they take me down)
This is flesh
I do breathe
My mind is alive
I am my army
They’re trying to stop me and to take my brain
If this is my death, it will not be in vain
Do not believe all the lies that they feed
There’s way more to this world than what we see
This is flesh
I do breathe
My mind is alive
I am my army
One day they will have all of our hands,
marking our foreheads, marking our wrists
We will not be able to live without it
(We will not be able to live without it)
This is flesh
I do breathe
My mind is alive
I am my army
Perhaps no one will stand at my side
But that’s okay cuz I’m holy inside
The bullets won’t miss but someone will see
I won’t let the enemy inside of me
This is flesh
I do breathe
My mind is alive
I am my army
This is the way the world’s turning now
You say I should turn and bow down.
You don’t see the invisible
But I see it
This is flesh
I do breathe
My mind is alive
I am my army
I’ll stand alone
Knowing that I’m not
Go on, set me free
I am my army

I Don't Miss

Comatose
Non-responsive
Where were you then?
Not beside me
Of course you caused
Me all this trouble
Left me battered
As you doubled
Took you no time
To replace me
But then you come back
As I was healing
Said you’re sorry
You promise you’ve changed
Say you want me back
Never thought you’d crack
What do you think that this is
It isn’t a game. You shot and you missed
I think this is considered trespassing
And I promise you I don’t miss
These stitches, they aren’t strings to pluck
But they’re here all thanks to you
In two seconds, you’ll peer down the barrel
You won’t rob me again—Because I don’t miss
Do you remember
When we used to smile
The days were so long and
The nights were so cold
For a while there,
I didn’t think I could
Recover
But I guess I could
What do you think that this is
It isn’t a game. You shot and you missed
I think this is considered trespassing
And I promise you I don’t miss
These stitches, they aren’t strings to pluck
But they’re here all thanks to you
In two seconds, you’ll peer down the barrel
You won’t rob me again—Because I don’t miss
Just try me
Don’t doubt me
Just try me
Don’t touch me
Just try me
It’s in self-defense
Just try me
I promise I don’t miss
Just try me
Don’t doubt me
Just try me
Don’t touch me
Just try me
I won't miss
What do you think that this is
It isn’t a game. You shot and you missed
I think this is considered trespassing
And I promise you I don’t miss
These stitches, they aren’t strings to pluck
But they’re here all thanks to you
In two seconds, you’ll peer down the barrel
You won’t rob me again—Because I don’t miss

I Surrender (Rukus)
03:23
|
|||
There’s too many things that distract me now
It seems like there is no way out
These hallways are getting tighter
And my goals they rise higher
Gravity is crushing me
My legs have grown far too weak
I’ve searched for answers everywhere
But here I am nursing my tears
I surrender
You can have your say
I surrender
Keep these thoughts at bay
I surrender
Please stay here with me
I surrender
Take good care of me
Everyone tells me to turn away
That that’s not how it’s supposed to be
Pretending that they know what’s best
When they’re all swinging by their necks
This is America, this is the free land
Hop on the free ride, it’s okay, we’re dead inside
Nothing ever matters ‘les it means something to us
If you get nothing out of it, make a rukus
I surrender
You can have your say
I surrender
Keep these thoughts at bay
I surrender
Please stay here with me
I surrender
Take good care of me
Oh, wow, I can’t believe you thought I meant you
You in the world and you behind doors
You that has a problem that you’re choosing to ignore
You who got swept up in the mass just like before
You who hides in the dark, you who runs from every spark
Terrified of the flames, running from all the pain
The whole time I’ve known you, you took the easy route
Now you’re angry at me for running my mouth
All your wounds are festering, let them air out
Don’t give me advice on something you know nothing ‘bout
My home is in the clouds and it’s it I wait for
But as soon as you can, please walk thorugh that door
I surrender
This is America, this is the free land
I surrender
Hop on the free ride, it’s okay, we’re dead inside
I surrender
Nothing ever matters ‘les it means something to us
I surrender
If you get nothing out of it, make a rukus
I surrender
You can have your say
I surrender
Keep these thoughts at bay
I surrender
Please stay here with me
I surrender
Take good care of me
