Lyrics:

Set my heart on fire.
Purge all ill desire.
I’ve taken strides and realized,
You just don’t win all your fights.

These flames are pure, my heart is sure.
I’ll close this door and walk on through.

Come and take me home,
And all I know,
I need a light; won’t you walk me through the line?
Taking it slow, I’m learning as I go.
So set the pyre,
I’ll dance with the fire.

How many more walls must I build then break down,
Before you come around?
I take one step, I’m calling out,
“Will someone tell me where the secret is found?”

Come and take me home,
And all I know.
I need a light, please don’t just walk me down the line.
Taking it slow,
I’m learning as I go.
I’m on the attack, there’s no turning back. 

Set my heart on fire.
You and I were meant to live on the edge. 

Come and take me home,
And all I know.
I need a light, please don’t just walk me down the line.
Taking it slow,
I’m learning as I go.
I’m on the attack, there’s no turning back.

Fire

Here's the very first original that started it all!

Time To Go - EP Version
Lyrics:
It's time to tear these walls down
Time to lock your doors up
It's time to destroy everything we've ever built

This is the very last minute of the last full show
It's time to leave, time to go

It's time to go, just move along now
It's far too late to catch the last train out
Just walk away and close the door
What we have is not worth waiting for

So it's time to move on
On to new horizons
Even if this is, this is all I've ever known

This is the very last sentence of your last goodbye
It's time to leave, don't ask me why

It's time to go, just move along now
It's far too late to catch the last train out
Just walk away and close the door
What we have is not worth waiting for

I swear to God that I didn't know
that you didn't know that I did too
swear to God that I didn't know
that you didn't know

Now we look like fools
Trying to find a way to make each other stay
When we both know it's far too late
Swear to god that I didn't know
that I didn't know
that I didn't know
that I didn't know

Now we've gone
For far too long
Can't go back now

It's time to go, just move along now
It's far too late to catch the last train out
Just walk away and close the door
What we have is not worth waiting for

Time to go (Why can't you stay?)
Move along (It's better off this way.)
You know I can't stay I'm not that strong
To watch her face (I close my eyes)
take my place (believe my lies)

Can't look back when we part ways

Time To Go

This song has been stuck -in my head- for the longest time. :)) Just playing around with harmonies and stuff. 

In My Head (a Mateo Escueta a capella cover snippet)

As we approach our anniversary, here is something to keep you on the edge of your seat! This is a stripped version of our song "Magic". If you like this, wait till you hear the full version. To friends and fans, we love you all. 

Magic

Talking to myself
(Crying for attention or a desperate cry for help)
She is watching as I fall under her spell
She's in to me as far as I can tell

Talking slowly for hours as I lay down on the floor
Keep you warm enough; isn't that what love is for?

Bound by broken starts
The brightest eyes appear as dull and dying stars
"You lied to me you said there was a cure for broken hearts
To my surprise our love ain't tearing me apart"

Babe, that's how I know that it's magic.

Talking to myself,
baby. Desperately I'm searching for your name in shelves
You're the book I'll never finish for myself
You're the girl I'd never ever ever.. (?)

"And I'm falling out of love again"
I never did this before
so I won't let it go.

Tearing up make up from a magazine
But everybody knows that you're so obscene, girl
Strike another pose like or even and share
"But everybody knows that you're self aware"
No.

Lyrics:

You are an angel, inside my head.
The one I can't forget.
I was the weary soul on a foolish road.
Who tried to win your heart, and now.

I can't fall any faster than I already have, now you got me crawling.
I swore I would never give any more than I could keep, but now you got me crawling.

Turn around, hear you mind boy, go on home.
You're better off behind those walls that you built.
Read the signs. Keep yourself from falling in too deep.
Catch yourself before its too late. No.

Put your hands together. (I'm crawling)
Put your hands together. (I'm falling)
Put your hands together. (I'm not running)
Put your hands together. (I'm falling, yeah)

I can't fall any faster than I already have, now you got me crawling.
I swore I would never give any more than I could keep, but now you got me crawling.

Can't fall faster when you look me in the eye.
And when I hit the ground, I'm crawling, crawling, crawling.

I can't fall any faster than I already have, now you got me crawling.
I swore I would never give any more than I could keep, but now you got me crawling.

I can't fall any faster than I already have, now you got me crawling.
I swore I would never give any more than I could keep, but now you got me crawling.
(Got me crawling, crawling, crawling)
(Oooh, oooh, oooh)
Can't fall faster when you look me in the eye.
And when I hit the ground, I'm crawling, crawling, crawling.
(Got me crawling, crawling, crawling)
(Oooh, oooh, oooh)

Crawling (demo)

Lyrics:

The way we are is keeping me from loving you.
I'm holding on but I can't get through to you.
The way we are is keeping me from letting go of you.
My mind is free, but my eyes won't see.

So I try to drive it all away, 
Chase away these blinding lights, but they won't fade.
And I try to sleep it off, but when I close my eyes at night
I feel surrounded by foes I can't perceive.

The battle rages on until the morning wakes
And I'll try to make it through.
But I grow tired of trying to find so many different ways to say the same thing
over and over again

So I try to drive it all away, 
Chase away these blinding lights, but they won't fade.
And I try to sleep it off, but when I close my eyes at night
I feel surrounded by the ghosts of my mistakes.

Maybe somewhere down the road you will remember me
And think of me like I think of you.
By that time I hope that I can honestly say that I don't need this and I don't need you.
But until then.

I'll try to drive this all away
Chase away these blinding lights, but they won't fade
And I'll try to sleep it off but when I close my eyes at night
I feel surrounded by the ghosts of my mistakes.

Yes I'll try to drive this pain away
Chase away this feeling in my chest, but it won't rest.
And I'll try to sleep it off but when I close my eyes at night God knows it's only you I see,
It's only you inside my dreams.

'Cause it's only you (I'll try to make you stay)
It's only you (I'll try to make you stay)
It's only you (I'll try to make you stay)
It's only you (I'll try to make you stay)

Lyrics:

Starting to believe I’m never going to get to you.
Then again I knew what I was going to get into.
I let the silence speak as you see straight through the pieces,
To find the truth upon these dusty pages.

In my head, I’m still waiting.
In my head I’m barely holding on.

There is a fear and it’s got you and me wondering.
About things like scars and falling in too deep.
My fists are open and my arms are coming down.
You can take your time I’m not going anywhere.

In my head, I’m still waiting.
In my head, I’m barely holding on.

But the only constant thing among these questions is you.

In my head, I’m still waiting.
In my head, I’m barely holding on.

I’m barely holding on.
