You are not alone. 🖤

Lyrics:

You might be surprised 
When you realize that we’re all the same: 
broken inside. 
We all just try to hide the fact
That we really don’t know what we’re doing 
Or where we’re going to. 
I know you feel the same too. 
You don’t gotta hide the truth.

I just need some time,
A little bit of time for me just to work things out.
Milestones started feeling like an inch.
Can someone please tell me what that’s about?
Doing my best to stand out from the rest.
Why doesn’t it feel like enough?
Discontentment and the feeling of stress.
How much longer till they call my bluff?

Magic Kite

Bluff

Lyrics:
I don’t know why I put up with you for so long, 
I gotta get away from here today. 
In the mirror I saw you from another dimension, 
I can feel my bones start to break. 

Jumping out—glass all over the place. 
Fly to space so my steps you could never trace. 
Find a world in which you could never live. 
I’d do it all, there is nothing that I wouldn’t give. 
To never see your demonic face again. 
What a shame this is how it had to end. 
I can’t believe I used to call you friend. 
I’m on my knees, praying for an angel to send 
a sign that I won’t give into temptation. 
Satanic affiliation.
You’re giving me temptations. 
Satanic affiliation. 

I don’t know why I put up with you for so long, 
I gotta get away from here today. 
In the mirror I saw you from another dimension, 
I can feel my bones start to break. 

Bleeding out, got me locked up in a cage.
In a maze, my frustration turns to rage.
Waking up with a hole inside my back.
You shot me there, now the world is turning black. 
I heard you laugh as I held onto my last breath.
I felt alive when you gave me the kiss of death.
You grabbed my hand, into hell we descend.  
I’m on my knees, praying for an angel to send 
a sign that I won’t give into temptation. 
Satanic affiliation.
You’re giving me temptations. 
Satanic affiliation.

Satanic Affiliation

Just because you can't see a ghost doesn't mean they aren't there. ☮️

Lyrics:
I’ve been everywhere, and all I found:
A noise in the hazy air, such an awful sound. 
Nails on a chalkboard, Silence is
A plague to us all that we can’t forget. 
Thoughts in my head so tightly wound. 

Seasick world got me spinning around.
Reverse gravity when I’m coming down. 
I’m going away, gotta leave this town.
Discover a place where life abounds—
A new life form so pure and kind,
Free from the shackles of space and time. 
Great escape from out of the black hole;
It isn’t easy for a lonely soul.

I’ve been everywhere, and still I haven’t seen
A door that is left unlocked or a key made just for me.
Joey the friendly ghost has something he’d like to show:
A box full of broken bones that were left out in the cold.

Can somebody tell me what I’ve done?
I couldn’t walk, but I tried to run.
I cry for help, can you hear me John?
He isn’t here, now the dream is gone.
Look at the world, what has it become.
We hate the light, so we kill the sun—
The only thing keeping us alive.
We self-destruct and fade into the night.

Ghosts Get Lonely

Lyrics:
Blood drips down from my fingertips
As I drive at the speed of light,
But I’m alright, yeah.
Steering in the wrong direction,
Can you take the wheel tonight? 
Take it away from me. 
Take it back now, hey!

I see a riot in the street,
Shouting out we just want peace.
Ain’t no one gonna set you free;
Freedom’s paid with agony.
Speak the truth if you dare,
But no one seems to care.
Their minds have been ensnared,
Waves falling on deaf ears.

Blood drips down from my fingertips
As I drive at the speed of light,
But I’m alright, yeah.
Steering in the wrong direction,
Can you take the wheel tonight? 
Take it away from me. 
Take it back now, hey!

Give me a light, and I’ll find a way
To put an end to all this pain.
Try to but you can’t erase
The memories of your past mistakes.
Gotta face that dragon again;
Spewing out fire, hope we win.
Walking the wire, feeling tired.
Don’t let them drag you in.

Life is a movie.
Which part do you wanna play?
I’ll be the fool, I guess;
I’ll just act naturally.
You’ll be the hero, and they’ll be the villains, 
It’s all the same to me.
Any way you cut it, you’ll both end up killing
For a cause you both believe
Is the only way to be.
We’re all the same, you see.

Blood drips down from my fingertips
As I drive at the speed of light,
But I’m alright, yeah.
Steering in the wrong direction,
Can you take the wheel tonight? 
Take it away from me. 
Take it back now, hey!

Wrong Direction!

Lyrics:
I got a stick in my eye.
I know you got one too, now don’t lie.
Blind as a bat in the night,
Hope we make it out of here alive.
Get lost in the wind,
I pray we’ll find our way again.
Ride with me on my magic kite.
‘Fraid of heights? Don’t worry, just hang tight.
Hair blowing and my tee-shirt white,
Take you round, show you all the beautiful sights.
Too bad we can’t see them.
Jaded and cynical we’ve been.
Good luck to the has beens and the have nots.
Go get it, take your shot.
Sick of being complacent, time you’ve wasted
Waiting for that ball to drop.
You were made for greatness, don’t forget this, keep pushing til your heart stop.
Bad hand, who dealt this? Gotta switch it up quick. 
Count cards, look at the stars.  

And it makes me wonder who we are.
Singing together playing the guitar,
Each of us talking heart to heart.
About all our big dreams that seem so far
Away, but they’re closer than you think.
Stop doubting yourself and believe
That anything is possible. 
One day you’ll see…

I got a stick in my eye.
I know you got one too, now don’t lie.
Blind as a bat in the night,
Hope we make it out of here alive.
Get lost in the wind,
I pray we’ll find our way again.
Ride with me on my magic kite.
‘Fraid of heights? Don’t worry, just hang tight.
Hair blowing and my tee-shirt white,
Take you round, show you all the beautiful sights.
Too bad we can’t see them.
Jaded and cynical we’ve been.
Good luck to the has beens and the have nots.
Go get it, take your shot.
Sick of being complacent, time you’ve wasted
Waiting for that ball to drop.
You were made for greatness, don’t forget this, keep pushing til your heart stop.
Bad hand, who dealt this? Gotta switch it up quick. 
Count cards, look at the stars.

Lyrics:
Trying to find my way in a stone cold city;
No one knows me there, and the wind shows no mercy.
Broken pieces of my skin peeling faster;
Lie and then pretend that nothing really matters.

Climb the ladder to the top.
Don’t look down, it’s
A long way from where you came.
But you could be back in a minute.
A minute, oh a minute!
You could be back in a minute.
A minute, oh a minute!
And now you’re back to—

Street fights every night just to buy yourself a meal;
You know it isn’t right, but you love the way it feels.
Dogs fly, angels bite as you crawl to your mansion;
Lay your head down on a rock to stop the bleeding.

Climb the ladder to the top.
Don’t look down, it’s
A long way from where you came.
But you could be back in a minute.
A minute, oh a minute!
You could be back in a minute.
A minute, oh a minute!
And now you’re coming up to—

Everything you ever wanted,
It’s right there in front of you.
If you want it, go and take it!
No one’s gonna do that for you.

Then you grab, and you grab for something
You never really wanted from the start.
It must be hard to be the only one
On the ground when you’re meant to be a star.

Climb the Ladder

Lyrics:
I can't hear a word you say
But that's really by choice
You made me filter my ears
To block your frequency

My tendency to cut off all the lows
Got to end this show on a high note
I can see whatever I want to see
This is virtually reality

Last Christmas

Watch the Music Video: https://youtu.be/TgYARbAl2_4

Lyrics:
Chasing myself from the behind
The other me is standing in line
Waiting for someone to show me the way
Only receive that which you’re willing to pay
This is a consequence of what we have learned
The loud heal all the ones they have burned
Seeking shelter in the shadow of warmth
Ghastly reflections of reflections before

Four fools found five
But the rest have not arrived
Give them time, shine a light
They will follow it like flies

Living to be comfortable
Emulate other mirrored souls
Get the picture? You’re a picture too
Some other artists trade paint for glue

Four fools found five
But the rest have not arrived
Give them time, shine a light
They will follow it like flies
Nine fools found ten
All the rest became like them
Why don’t you take your own lead?
Awake from this dream

Leave the Line

Four Fools

Lyrics:
I waited for the right hour
But it never came
In my hesitation
I felt time slipping away
Longing for a chance 
Right in front of my eyes
Destiny—the master of disguise

Building up the silence
First a wall, then a maze
Tunnel through the iceberg 
Just to stop the decay 
I wish I got to know you
Back in yesterday
But yesterday’s gone
And with it you stayed

Words are meant to be spoken
But somehow they’re stuck in my mind
Cut the earth
Drink from the well of regret
But it won’t change the predefined 
Redefine, leave the line
Don’t want to be caught being misaligned
Turn your spine the other way

Building up the silence
First a wall, then a maze
Tunnel through the iceberg 
Just to stop the decay 
I wish I got to know you
Back in yesterday
But yesterday’s gone
And with it you stayed

It seems the hands of time
I cannot break
I feel them moving faster
Pulsing in my veins
Prepare for the after
Another minute gone by
Stutter my gaze, and then I fall
Into a flawed design

Building up the silence
First a wall, then a maze
Tunnel through the iceberg 
Just to stop the decay 
I wish I got to know you
Back in yesterday
But yesterday’s gone
And with it you stayed

First A Wall, Then A Maze

Lyrics:
It’s something I had to do
So it’s something I did
Looking out for the world
They come at me with the stick
What you gonna do now?
Only option is this
Straight through the fire now
I won’t ever give in

Everything’s going blurry
Like I’ve been walking around
Everyone’s in a hurry
Like I’m in some other town
I forget where they sent me
And where I’m going to now
To now, to now

Another slamming door
Cut into my face
Can I get me some more?
Please make no mistake
I came from the dead
And I’ll do it all again
I’m not a liar when I said
This is something I did

Hate me
But it’ll make me stronger
Hate me
I don’t need you any longer

Something I Did

Lyrics:
Same soul
Another time
Guess you lost a little part when you found mine
New shoes
And blue eyes
Everything was much clearer on the other side
Same sides
Of a different coin
Is it difficult
To entangle the two
When I was you

Don’t make the same mistake
It’s not a game to play
You got one more shot to make this right
Are you gonna try
Don’t give a reason why
This may be your last chance to say goodnight

Old soul
At a new school
Can’t learn a thing without black and blue
Black suit
And a white tie
Never giving notice to the rising tide
You can fly
If you want to
But I won’t lie
It’s much harder to do
When I was you

Don’t make the same mistake
It’s not a game to play
You got one more shot to make this right
Are you gonna try
Don’t give a reason why
This may be your last chance to say goodnight

It seems you’ve
Found a part of yourself
Looked like you
Wanted somebody else
It seems you’ve
Found a part of yourself
Looked like you
Wanted somebody else
It seems you’ve
Found a part of yourself
Looks like you
Only need yourself

Don’t make the same mistake
It’s not a game to play
You got one more shot to make this right
Are you gonna try
Don’t give a reason why
This may be your last chance to say goodnight
Don’t make the same mistake
You’ve learned the hardest way
You got one more shot to make this right
Are you gonna try
Don’t give a reason why
This is your last chance at taking flight

Beautiful Wreck

When I Was You

Lyrics:
Shrinking man, can you shrink some more
Til you’ve hit the floor
Headed to the wrong side of town again
You don’t want to get up when you’re down
Always seem to be hanging around
Fall back in the face of fear

Come on 
Right now
I don’t want to do this all alone
Come on
Save me
I feel the silence breaking, don’t let go

Shrinking man, now you shrink some more
Do you know what for?
Thoughts race in your head again

Come on 
Right now
I don’t want to do this all alone
Come on
Save me
I feel the silence breaking
Come on
Right now
You don’t have to do this all alone
Come on
What will it be?
The shrinking man turns slowly towards the sun

Shrinking Man

Lyrics:
You’ve kept me haunted for so long
Can’t remember how
It feels to be alone
And I feel you now
Creeping on me in the nighttime
Fangs drip on my couch
Take a bite of what’s left of me
I swear I won’t make a sound

If you want to do this again
You’ve got another thing coming your way
I don’t know about love
But I know you’ve left a bitter taste

Beautiful wreck, isn’t it?
Oh no
We’re crashing trains tor the fun of it
I can’t decide where I’m going to hide
I have met my demise
Left me here paralyzed
And now I’m without words to say
It wasn’t supposed to be this way
But you played with my heart too many times
No, I can’t forgive
Beating me up, bleeding me out for payment
Cover the mirrors so nobody can see who we are
Couldn’t be clearer, we built our world on a shooting star

If you want to do this again
You’ve got another thing coming your way
I don’t know about love
But I know you’ve left a bitter taste

If you want to do this again
You’ve got another thing coming your way
I don’t know about love
But I know you’ve left a bitter taste
