so it's always been there 
who would have thought? 
show me how to get there 
you are the one i should have sought. 

get me out, please. 
before they kill me, please. 
don't come near me leave. 
i can hear them creep. 

whoah, it gave you a scare. 
don't even go there. 
take a little breather 
it gets so much easier 

you'll catch a break 
so don't get shaken, no 
you're life's not taken, no 

it's easier when you're sound 
it's there, on the outside 
it's only inches away. 
call on that force to come down. 
it's there, on the outside 
ask it to come out and play.

[04] I Don't Wan It To End Here, Like This +

i fell out of all their good graces 
fifteen and we're going places 
i don't see any traces of them now 
so many people i let down 
so many people let me down 
i can't remember any of their names 

honestly, i've tried and i just cant. 
i never wanted to keep up. 
i never try to press my luck. 
why should i humour you 
when i don't even care if you wont stay? 
i keep my cards face down 
i keep my senses drowned 
i hold it all inside because it's safer that way 

get off and get out. 
i never implied there would 
be a vacancy for you. 
shut it off and let the engine die. 
i think i might have made a mistake 
i have nothing left to give, i only take 
i haven't always been this way, 
but i've collapsed into the cold. 
get out while it's painless still for you. 
did you think that you could be 
a spark to ignite the fire? 
you'll tire and suffocate 
before you get close 
you say it's lonely alone, but 
leave and i'll be fine here. 
it's cute that you want to try, but 
you're wasting your time 

echoes from the hall, 
is someone there? 
the shadows are creeping 
up the stairs 
when i reached for anything 
to take me away 
solace in emptiness is bliss. 
who needs a friend when you've got this? >: ) 
i wonder if anyone will miss me some day. 
so many people i let down. 
so many people let me down. 
i can't recall why they mattered anyway.

[05] Amnesia +

you're trying all the time 
while nothing seems to work 
and you're painfully aware 
your newly formed designs 
they fell short again 
if you only had a dime 
for every instance that you were just shy 
so close, as you reached out for it 
you felt the displaced air 
grasped tightly only to find nothing there 

after all, still you never abandoned the chase 
ride it out. 
for this you sacrificed any alternative ways 
and so it's the only way you can go 

and in those moments when 
the direction shimmers clearly 
you remember why you stayed. 
why you climbed back up to fall off again. 
you remained so faithful, 
but strictly to yourself 
and as for them, so long. 
so what if i was wanted there? 
i won't add up to you memories 
and i won't care. 

you can't escape the expectation 
of the preservation of roots 
i pulled them out 
i tilled the ground 
i thought i'd struggle to 
tear out those overgrown weeds 
but met with little resistance, indeed 

it's been a long time coming 
and still insists to drag out, on and on 
i just fall asleep to wake up again 
i've wasted so much time 
i'll often start to think there is nothing for it now 
get up and get out. 
you've got a long ride 
and there's so much between here 
and the other side

[06] Write It Off,Write It Down +

invitation to the light 
tranquil, but it might 
be just the thing you need after all this 
indulgence and delight 
quite the oversight 
lost in a parade of chaos 

it's for the best if you would 
leave it all back there 
it's swallowed and ensnared 
it always would have 
been given back in ways you hated every time 
trading every drop of blood to blur the lines 
you want it all 
you wanted everything, but 
i don't think you wanted this. 
in every sense it isn't making sense 
did you forget to read the finer print? 
did you neglect to keep in mind that 
they will always speak through lies? 

exhausted and alone 
setting in the tone 
for the way your life will go from now 
cold and unashamed 
conditioned and trained 
to be hurt and never feel the pain 
lonely in a crowd 
swallowed up and drowned 
you always will be 
perceived in ways you never wanted to let shine 
draining every drop of blood to pass the time. 
you want it all. 
you wanted everything. 
you know you never wanted this. 
you only stayed because you lost your way. 
you wonder where you left it every day. 
but every day is too distracting 
to remember where it was.

[07] Snare

the fire that outshone all of the stars 
smoldering away. 
turned everything it touched into ash 
tainting the skies grey 

it's too long that i've relied on myself 
so long. 
so long to everyone else, 
i'm gone 
it's too late to reignite the machine 
i don't love anything but the dream 
and that's fine. 
the saddest part is that i'm not sad 
no, not at all 

the image that i have etched in my mind 
ever seems to fade 
this straining to reembody the kitsch 
just seems in vain 

good luck. 
good luck in all that you try. 
don't give a fuck to see you before you die. 
i know i've become detached, and so cold 
i all of a sudden realize i'm old 
with all free time 
and no time to stay.

[08] Too Long, So Long +

you fail some times 
you will some times 
if you trail behind 
then you can't rewind 

it's getting real slow 
and i can't seem to wait for this to end 
i dread the daylight 
and can never seem to get to sleep at night 

you fail some times 
you trail behind 
you will some times 
just chill....relax. : ) 

you're not the only one 
you never will be, as long as you're alive 
you still can smile 
you still can laugh about better times than this 

so you fail some times. 
you will, some times.
