May, did that star bloom
just like you wanted it to?
I can't keep my feet on the ground
You can't seem to stay around
Fit after fit I try to lose
I lose
May, did your heart fly
through that mid-June sky?
You can't keep your feet on the ground
I can't seem to stay around
Tear after tear we try anew
I knew you

Everlasting misgiving
Can't help but think I'll be crushed again
It's something that I'm so used to
that I'm just waiting for heartbreak, but
You leave me breathless
On my hands and knees
I beg for it all to end
I'm engulfed in your fire
Just tell me when I'll be burned again
I figured that I couldn't see
as far as your beauty gleams
But now that I know what I'm losing,
I find it hard to breathe
It's digging beneath my skin
I cannot remember when
I felt so strongly about
someone I can't win
I have a feeling that you will
be stolen by some punk who doesn't
care about you or even feel
The possibilities frustrate me to no end, 'cause
You leave me breathless
On my hands and knees
I beg for it all to end
I'm engulfed in your fire
Just tell me when I'll be burned again
I figured that I couldn't see
as far as your beauty gleams
But now that I know what I'm losing,
I find it hard to breathe
The fact that I can't rest
I can't eat or get dressed
I'm in love with someone
Someone I can't win
Don't drag me to bed
Just leave me in shreds instead

Good Old Days
02:44
|
|||
|
Well, I hear your garden's bustling with all new rays
And the brine on my lawn continues to cause a fray
My heart's been broken in eight different ways
Call it what you will, but
These are the good old days
For an hour, I lost my whole damn mind
While quietly you whisper that you're all mine
My heart's been broken in nine different ways
Say all you want, but
These are the good old days
Every now and then, you catch my eye
But through it all, I see your lies
Bound to catch a cold from the weather 'round here
I'm sure you'll be fine - you always are, dear
My heart's been broken in ten different ways
Ignore it all you want, but
These are the good old days
Fake it all you want, dear
But I'm done with games
Laugh all you want, girl
I'm not here to stay

Avenue
02:47
|
|||
|
Avenue, what have you done?
You made it hard for everyone
And now your story seems so true
But it's not
Avenue, what has begun?
It all started out to be so fun
But you took that all away, yes you did
Yes, you did
Now…
The rain has come to me for so long
I felt it was time to give up
Just give up
I see the avenue and the street
Oh, it makes me feel so weak
You would never let that get to you
I’ve lost all inspiration for this
Flickering signs demean my bliss
Mind control drowns innovation placement
Stolen by all those in need
Who I am now just recedes
Follow the hollow for days
And still, it's not enough
Avenue, what have you done?
You made it hard for everyone
Avenue, what have you done?
Avenue...

I can't stand to see your face
And I can't sit aside
But what is even worse is that you won't even try
It's getting to be hard to feel anything
More strenuous the days have been on my feet
I can't be anyone you need
He will burlesque to throw you away
It's the void that you need to trace
It's the point that I'm trying to make
It's the river that you will never face
Yeah, I know she ran away from me

Naivety
02:24
|
|||
|
Why do you do this?
Mess me up inside and I can't take it
Please face it
You were one big lie
That I fell for so desperately
I was blind to see
All your words meant nothing
I want you to know
That I'm done with all your shit
Back away now
Don't stay around
I was so naive
To fall for someone like you
You made me believe
I was something to you
And what I'm saying is
I'm not gonna sit around and beg you to love me
I got better things to do
I'm gonna move on and find the love I deserve
I swear it's true

Only One
03:27
|

|
"My only one
My oh, my god
My strength to carry on
is all on you"
It's untrue what you spew
Say what you mean, babe
Say what you mean to me
I know this is not how you planned
A devious state of mind
is what you have set on me
You better watch it now
It's untrue what you spew
Say what you mean, babe
Say what you mean to me
Living without a cause except for manipulation
It's always hard to say the simplest of tribulations
Forwarding in time will always leaved me floored
to times I'm left at your door
You're breaking me in every way
You're breaking me in every way
If you need a fix in your life
Well, don't come crying to me
When you've left me before
My pity runs so short
It's untrue what you spew
Say what you mean, babe
Say what you mean to me
Yeah, say what you mean to me
Yeah, say what you mean

New Life
04:25
|

|
I don't need a chance, just one more dance
that you need to find in your head
So try to buy some time to see who you are
and discovering the colors of Mars
But don't try to leave here
We don't need to speak anymore
I'm trying to find what you're trying to hide
But don't be shy, 'cause I'm not that kind
To flip to the page of your next stage
would be too late to try to debate
But she don't, no she don't
She don't, no she don't
But don't try to leave here
We don't need to speak anymore
I just need to breathe
So catch up to speed with this world
But don't try to leave here
We don't need to speak anymore
I just need to breathe
So catch up to speed for this world

Cleansing Well
04:29
|
|||
|
Wish for the cleansing well
Dive in and speak farewell
Own no mental wormhole
Like other burning raptures
Showing such fatal heights
Which harms the others in plain sight
To them it's all known in code
That I don't wish to repeat
When in our minds, what did I know?
Who did we see? What did I show?
Believe what keeps you sane
Then go with them to pay the drain
Ignore the schisms
Light the candle, so plain but tainted
The glow exposes wild traits
And if it's chasing me, I can't wait
For all who say, "Hold the cries, keep the pain in,
ride the storm."
When in our minds, what did I know?
Who did we see? What did I show?
No dams relate and comfort
Earth dried out and fainted
Her scalp-bugs took so much
To feed a colony
Redamancy shows no other
In which side is faking mother
And aside, to watch the blind
Leap over the cleansing well

Loneliness
03:25
|
|||
|
The pendulum spins so inadvertently
Across the fingers of a woman unknown
What was she to do in a dull grey room,
full of disdainful thoughts abloom?
If they could only see they just destroy us, she
pulled out her hair and screamed at the tape
The lies crushed her soul to small bits
Loneliness will kill you, the faint torment
Got to fly away, must I confess
That we're all a part of this mess
Feeling like a bug frozen on the street
All alone as cars run over me
Pacing through terrors, she worries her errors
Extend solitude through all of her life
The lies crushed her soul to small bits
Loneliness will kill you, the faint torment
Time to be the one with courage and have it your own way
Break down the door and feel the sun beating on your face
Yeah, it's coming your way, just keep up your frantic pace
Yeah, it's coming your way

Wave of Confusion
03:35
|
|||
|
Standing in the vastness of nowhere to this I have resulted
Forgotten, abandoned, for no one will come
What am I left to do when everything is disappearing before me?
[Chorus]
Some unseen force Is dragging me beneath the surface
Piercing screams, unbearing noise
The sound engulfs my mind
I'm left in a never-ending wave of confusion
Deep down in the horrific depths I'm being forced into a place
Never seen before
Where time is nothing, chaos surrounds all around
Insanity takes over
[Chorus]

Ruined
06:47
|
|||
|
I'll find my way back
but there'll be pain
with something I can't change
What am I falling through for?
The cancer in your brain
You lay back and slip away
It just gets to me
Anytime I see your face, I forget
the place and time you left me out
Every time our arms embrace,
I feel that pain inside again
No, this can't be
Your body's frail and you can't breathe
Please just stay with me
Until then, I got something to figure out
Just listen to me if you could
I know it doesn't seem okay
I'll try to invigorate
Anytime I see your face, I forget
the place and time you left me out
Every time our arms embrace,
I feel the chill inside to remind me
And maybe in another lifetime
I will see the light
This twisted heart is enflamed
'cause I can't forget your name
I found my way home today
I don't know how;
I just knew it was a mistake
Leave me to rust,
Just say those words,
"It'll never be the same."
Tell me again, tell me again
Just tell me this time
'Cause anytime I see your face, I forget
the place and time you left me out
Every time our arms embrace,
I feel that pain inside again
Anytime I see your face, I forget
the place and time you left me out
Every time our arms embrace,
I feel the chill inside from the others
Leave me be
