Battle Cry
03:50
|
|||
I'm frozen
I'm panic stricken
Can't look away
I'm petrified
I have not spoken in quite some time
I've lost my voice
I've become terrified
This is my battle cry
I cannot find peace
I'm spinning out of control
Feelings of fear and chaos
They are unstoppable
I've laid low
Shut my ears and eyes
Blocked out the chaos
While others fight
I have awoken
No longer paralyzed
My weapon chosen
It's time to join the fight
This is my battle cry.

Stranger Danger
04:12
|

I need to warn you everything is not alright
I've been struggling to stay near the surface
I've been going too deep again, getting lost in the darkness
But I keep pushing, pushing through but you should know that
I'm not as nice as I seem
My mind is a stranger
I think I'm in danger
Girl you are, girl you are
Too pretty to be so blue
How could you know what I want?
I'm not someone like you
Rip my heart out, rip my heart out
You give me one but I need two
Won't you smile?
I want to destroy you
You tried to warn me but I never really listen
You tried to tell me this could be a sickness
But I know better when bad thoughts are addictive
I keep telling, telling you that you should watch out
I'm not as nice as I seem
You might be in danger
I'm just a stranger
I tried to warn you, you're in danger.

Why Aren't You Dead yet?
05:17
|

Forensics of my heart show this crime scene has gone cold but this new evidence uncovered will tell your secrets. You are my chosen one, my perfect partner in crime. I had your back, you stabbed mine. Didn't see it coming.
You never know you want it
Until you have to beg
You think that I'd forgotten
But here we are again
And nothing's changed, you haven't changed
You're still the same
Why aren't you dead yet?
Corroborate your alibi. Witnesses testified that you were the guilty party, how do you plead now? I am the innocent but if thoughts could prove intent, and if I could get away with murder, you wouldn't last a day.
Nothing's changed, you haven't changed
You wiped the scene and walked away
And did you think you'd ever get away with it?
Causing suffering and pain
Why aren't you dead yet?

Irreplaceable
04:13
|

If you asked me to stay with you I would. I'd stay with you.
But I need you to not give up so fast. I know you're hurting.
You've lost interest in everything I know. There's no joy anymore.
There's nothing that I could say to ease the pain that you're feeling.
If you asked me to stay here I would
Just please don't go away
I know you're hurting
When this world gets too much and you want to go
There's no pleasure just pain
Just know you're irreplaceable
If you need me to talk you through this night I'll be here for you.
When it all seems too hard for you to bear alone and you're hurting.
You've lost faith in everyone, everything. There's no joy anymore.
Too much change, all the same. What's it all for? I don't know how to unbreak you but..
If you need me I will be there.

Erase Me from You
04:07
|

A look. A smile. A number.
A life. A child. A mother.
A world. A goal. A partner.
An end. A cry. It's over
You tore my heart in two
Erasing me from you
But I'm Not Innocent, I broke yours too
I think it's something that we both just knew
And we won't back down
There's too much anger
And we can't back down
There's too much anger
A look. A sigh. It's over.
You're gone. No one knows where. I've asked around.
You're floating in and out of my mind
A fear. An end. A cry.
I tore your heart in two
Erasing me from you
But you're not innocent in this mess too
I think it's something that we both just knew
There's no Innocence. We can't back down, we'll keep fighting on, we keep pushing through.
It's something that we both knew. it's something that we both do. I've asked around.

Little child you're not immune, it will infect you
You'll want to kick and scream and right the wrongs
The mess we've caused
They will take one look at you and see right through you.
They'll kill everything you could have loved, you could have loved
I'll see you beyond the stars
Because you don't belong in this world
Things are broken
And we can't love here anymore
Try to be strong but not too strong, brave but not too brave
Just promise me that when you see the gun you'd better run
Choose the side you're fighting on early on because they'll call you a traitor. You're a traitor.
You'll find it's just the way that things are.

No One Asked You
03:44

Last night I was trying to figure out some shit, but in my head all I heard was this whiny little bitch voice telling me that I'm no good, you should pack it in hun, negative words stuck in my head crushed my confidence some.
No one asked you
So why are you still here?
I thought we were through so what do you want?
I want something new but don't we all
No one asked you
Who the fuck are you
So finally I'm content and nothing's going wrong, but for some reason you're still here talking bullshit all day long. You started coming down on me? You should shut your mouth, friend. And now you're fuelling my self hate. Well... no one asked you.
You've shown your true colours to me, you've known you have this power over me.
You've stayed here way too long. You can't hurt me no more.
I dare you won't try to come at me now!

The Next Time
04:06
|

We met down by the water
So young in love, I know
I was such a monster
And now I'm here alone
I look at my reflection
But I feel no connection to me
Next time I'll be stronger
When they say "be yourself and you won't get hurt"
It turns out that's not the truth
Can you see yourself for all you're worth?
No I'm not sure you do
Next time we can do it your way
I didn't mean to belittle all the things you said
And when you cry are you thinking of me?
I know I lied, I don't know why, it's just the way I am
Sometimes we would get so insane
I swear I won't tell a soul of the things we did
Next time we can do it your way
I promise you
I'm back down at the water
I thought you might come back
But I couldn't wait much longer
For you to arrive
How have so many years gone by? Are you still that self-proclaimed shy guy?
And I'm still the monster

Too Much Noise
03:12
|

Young girl, young boy
Not saying anything but making too much noise
Sweet young things confident and poised
Got their attention but I think they're moving on
You've got us talking
Who would have thought that you take up so much damn space
And who makes the most noise to keep them talking
Too bad it's all just a waste
We've been screaming out forever
Doesn't anyone have anything left, anything to say?
We've been waiting here can't wait no more for change
Hollow words
Idealistic self-assured
Saying a lot of things but who are they to promise that
All these people adding to the noise
It's getting too much I better move on
We've been screaming out forever
Doesn't anyone have anything left anything to say
We've been waiting here the noise ain't making change
Sweet young things
Pretty girls and boys
Got my attention but you're making too much noise
Sweet young thing
Confident and poised
Not saying anything but making too much noise
I'd better move on

End of Life
04:37
|

There's no flashing lights
No revelations
No fire in the sky
Did you fight?
The sun and moon still shine
No epic endings
Was it all worthwhile?
Our final day is ending and what have you done? Another heart is suffering and I've done nothing.
What would you say if you were facing the last day of your life?
And don't look away because it might be the last time I see you smile
Would you pray? If you were facing the last day of your life
And don't look away because it might be our final goodbye
Your judgment day has come
Your tribulations
But how hard did you try?
Did you fight?
Because there's just starless nights
No epic end to life
Was it all worthwhile?
Another heart is broken while another starts to beat. My end is your beginning and the circle is complete.
The vows are all broken. The champagne is open. The world is exploding.
