Daybreak

Lyrics:

Daybreak took hold of your eyes
A picture for my frame of mind
Too hollow now for all the things I wish I'd said
Dear are you fast asleep, so I can finally speak
About you and how you filter through to me
Don't wait a moment, it all might disappear
I still remember every word you said

But in the rear-view
I still see you
In my mind
None so blind as those who fail to see
I see forever
It just might be that I hold you in my dreams
I'll sleep forever

Don't lean against your walls, I will not let you fall
So tear them down, you do not need them anymore
Daylight, you sit beside me
Within these hands of time
Destined to remember

In the rear-view
I still see you
In my mind
None so blind as those who fail to see
I see forever
It just might be that I hold you in my dreams
I'll sleep forever

And there she was beside me,
Turning the sir like a song
And when you're gone, you remind me
You're gone too, you're gone too long

Daybreak took hold of your eyes 
And you're in my frame of mind

Lyrics:

Such a legendary tale
When the ear is on your side
Superficial draped in rainbow
Any shelter from that storm
Helps me know I'm still alive
Even shelter here is painful

Under centuries of stone
By myself but not alone
It's a mystery, but fateful

(eaten alive)

Nestled in where you may fall
Is there comfort there at all?
Lesson in a fact, I'd say so
Under never-ending skies
Will you be there when it's night,
Suffocating me in halos?

Under centuries of stone
By myself but not alone
It's a mystery, but fateful
Never look into his eyes
'less you've been there once or twice
Your epiphany is shameful

(eaten alive)

Eaten Alive

Lyrics:

The dreams are the same
Buried in shadows that call out your name
There to remain
And on my way out of this plane

And the road has been riddled with you
Paved with everything I shouldn't do
Give me one final courtesy
Pull my way out of the night

The dreams are the same
Buried in subtleties, I haven't changed
Long live the pain
Reminder of what you became

And the road has been riddled with you
Paved with everything I shouldn't do
Give me one final courtesy
Pull my way out of the night

Let the time tick away - I'll be okay
Let the time take away - I'll be okay
Let the time tick away - I'll be okay
Let the time take away - I'll be okay

Tick

That You Wore

Lyrics:

And all I want I've given away
Like every song that you say, "that's mine"
Least of these I've spun and sent searching
Just to see - if it's worth my time 

But you don't see the way that you look
You don't hear the things that you say
I can't see a thing anymore
Think you sold the light that you wore 

Fall like drops
I've been through your fortress
And I need not these eyes to see
You can't take what's never been yours 
and I will be - guarding me 

And I know for sure
What the light was for
If it clouds the towns below
Seldom and slow we grow

Call the plague of angels off
Judging by the rate I'm falling
Bury me beside you
Left alone to lose my mind 

In time it's for certain
This time it's for certain 

Daylight hurts now
Might surrender
This is not my home
Caught me sleeping
Barely dreaming
Left them long ago 

But you don't see the way that you look
You don't hear the things that you say
I can't see a thing anymore
Think you sold the light that you wore

Lyrics:

If it's any consolation
terrified, grown, and used to know
where to find my complications
Leave a light on, 'cos I don't know
Like an eight in a corner pocket
Electrified, blind, with broken bones
If a mind that shines is focused,
tell me the place I need to go

But i already know
the bottom of that hole
Where you can't see the light of day,
and you begin to fade away
To dust and bone
(unless you're me)

Like a midnight execution,
spanning mad years in slower-mo
Setting up our way to lose 
and picking up faces as we go
If there's ever anything I could have 
done differently and saved
It's like a torrent rising,
Welcoming waves
(and I don't float)

There the fuck you go
Now you can say you know
I was immortalized in fears  
Of what, of which were never real
And gone too long

And you're right on time
Like a widow coveting a bride
A lot of messes made along the way
I don't mind though
I won't
(unless you're me)

Unless You're Me
