Flight
03:25
|
|||
|
The drip of the times that fall in your eyes
The cries that flood all over the side
The strip of the lights that warm up your night
The drug that drains your fight and flight
Lets you die adored
Lets you see what you're looking for

Personality
03:53
|

|
It's your personality that draws me in
Makes me want to stick to you through thick or thin
We were born with a soul so lets all be human now
Don't stand at the side, don't look at your feet
There's a future under lights if you can love what you see
Strip the disguise, it's easy to show you how
I'm sorry for what I did
There's not much difference between me and the kid
I'm sorry for what I've done
It's just me and love and the never wanted son
You've all the possibility of anyone else
But flowers won't last, don't keep them shelved
Lose the need for validation, keep it in your memory now
You sense the positivity you walk some more
If the devil comes knocking don't answer the door
This night is for the living put your soul to the floor

Heart
04:46

|
He was young and you taught him religion isn't a spell
Then the bad men came and took you away and it made him believe in Hell
But you're there forever
You made my heart
It was dark, you pulled up to park
He wandered the street that night to see him and her in the light
But you pulled out a knife, made him beg for his life
You made my heart
You brought home a man, he broke his hand
He kicked in the door when he heard you having him in the walls
You turned his heart into tar, so you could live in the bar
You made my heart
You were the star and you dragged him screaming into the fight
But the fight was lost when the art got tossed and he started believing your hype
But he needed his brother
You made my heart
He was a mental case, tried to take off his face
He couldn't explain himself so he pushed all of you away
But his saving grace, he made it easy for you to put him away
You made my heart

Kinder in memory
07:46
|
|||
|
You have a sense of Spring about you
Like new birth or a new Moon
But that bloom won't last, like a love lost too soon
The coming of October and you lose your perfume
But I still believe our love is like a sheltering tree
I'll hold you close
I'll be in pain if I'm free
Head into Summer blessed with you my blue
Forget the winter bruised and cruel tied to you
You have a sense of Autumn about you
Like new earth or a blood Moon
But that love won't last like a joke that's lost its teeth
Like a beast that's ready to take to sleep
But I still believe that our love is like a sheltering tree
I'll hold you close
I'll be in pain if I'm free
It will be kinder in memory

You're dead to us kid
03:57
|
|||
|
You lied
You sick fuck
Left us haunted
Guilty for our blindness
Hid your sick thoughts behind a veil of shyness
Dark, unforgivable
The intellect you spat at us feels bloody
Like when a Boxer spits in a bucket
Fuck it
If you'd have had a heart I would cook it
You were born wrong
You know what you did
You're barely worth the song
Your dead to us kid
You may as well have died
I don't write this lightly
Your pipe and ponytail
The guilt that makes you pale
You coward, lost in yourself
Weeping for respect
Of the secret disputable
Your blatant disregard for the young and corruptible

I'm in with the host
05:18
|
|||
|
Inside always knew that you were better dead, always did
The decline, always, is always quicker the further you take them in
You played to win
You talk of love sunshine but the taste of love is hidden better in a cheap bottle of Wine
Don't cross this line
I still draw you close
It's so easy to play you, you honest fool
I hate you the most
It's so easy to lie when you're so cool
I'm in with the host
It's so easy to play you, you honest fool
I love you the most
It's so easy to lie when you're so cool
Sublime, always, always knew that you were better bled, always did
The prize is always, to always know that you were never led
You never said
You talk of love sunshine but the greatest love is taken better with a sweet bottle of Wine don't cross this line

Take some time
04:48
|
|||
|
Take some time to find your mind love
What's right for you
I know what's in there
I see you're scared
Your breath lights up my space
My decline painted on my face
Take some time to find your heart love
What's right for you

Tell the tale
05:00
|
|||
|
Tell the tale
How you sent me inside my shell
The worst mistake
was you left me in spite
You alone I'll spare from I do
You alone I'll spare from that
Should I bend to your will
Or will I lose the selfish side of myself
Sell the tale
I'm pale and empty inside my cell
Draw the blinds
The light scalds me
Then turn around and get out
You alone I'll spare from I do
You alone I'll spare from that

No
05:06

|
You know who I am and what I am trying to say
Of loves lost, crooked hands and how we lost the game
To show you who I am
But I can't no
But I can't no
But I can't
They know who I am and what I want to be
To dig into hardened hearts, to find their empathy
To show them who they are
But I can't no
But I can't no
But I can't
I know who I am and what I'm trying to show
The clown who doesn't laugh, the flame that's lost its glow
The pain that shouldn't last
But I can't grow
But I can't grow
But I can't

Demons
05:01
|
|||
|
Through the trials of it all I know that you suffered
I know what you lost do you?
Because I've been there before and looked to the core
And kicking will just bring me back to the door
Try to believe me
Take me over the edge I feel safe in trouble
I know what you caught do you?
Still have cracks head to toe from where she stuck the knife in
The memories she gave me won't let me move
You still don't believe me
And if you get the chance to run away I think you should
Cos I will find a way to keep you close no matter what the consequence
And If you get the chance to run away I think you should
Because my demons don't need exercise they're healthy enough
And now you believe me
