I used
To have a thing for self-destruction
Panic
Attacks when I saw obstructions
Stopped having
Self-pity for my own sake
Drove for
Hours make no mistake
This needs to change
Failing
To feel any inspiration
Got a job
Don't want to have it anymore
No time
To paint over my mistakes
No time
To change this state of mind
I want to change
I want to change
Freed my suspicious mind
It opened my opened my eyes
Strong enough to take a stand
Take my life in my own hands
The rash
Never quite goes away
Stuck in
A loop like a broken tape
Wish to
The stars before they fall
Sometimes
One forgets what they're fighting for
I need to change
We have to change
Freed my suspicious mind
It opened my opened my eyes
Strong enough to take a stand
Take my life in my own hands
Freed my suspicious mind
It opened my opened my eyes
Strong enough to take a stand
Take my life in my own hands
Corrupted
Data wipes your heart away
Drown in
The flowers you're allergic to and
Wait for
The sun when one feels grey
Won't even
If to god you pray
Freed my suspicious mind
It opened my eyes
Strong enough to take a stand
Take my life in my own hands
Freed my suspicious mind
It opened my opened my eyes
Strong enough to take a stand
Take my life in my own hands
Change

Silence is Holy
04:16
|

|
Black
Rivers set on fire
The fight for peace
Ends in the dark
Some ways
Are left to right
Never mind
The lethal spark
The fear
Of sadness is complicated
Hangovers
Growing numb
Desperation
Is usually colored red
Why are we
Still so dumb
All my friends got demon tattoos
Look at what they can do
They’re coming on
They’re going down
Then they'll try to kill you
Silence is holy
Silence
Silence
All my friends got demon tattoos
Look at what they will do
They’re coming on
They’re going down
Then they'll try to kill you
All my friends got demon tattoos
Look at what they will do
They’re coming on
They’re going down
Then they'll try to kill you
Silence, silence

Alive

Taking a smoke outside of the window of my home on a sunny day
Summer coming around the corner
I don't want to stay
It's so boring and dull here
And i've been working 9 to 5
I'm just looking for a holiday
I want to feel alive
I want to feel alive
The summer air moves my soul into the sky
And I feel like I belong
When you want to free your mind
You will feel alive
I've been melting and fading
Like ice cream out in the sun
Need to talk and laugh with my friends cause I'm addicted to fun
Get on my bike and leave for the coast to forget the limits of time
Breeze in my head and beer in my hand
Feel the sun's deep red shine
I want to feel alive
The summer air moves my soul into the sky
And I feel like I belong
When you want to free your mind
You will feel alive

River
04:00
|
|||
|
I'm wide awake at night out
Roaming the streets
Worried that the ghosts I see
Don't really exist
Neon light bright as the sun as I
Get in the zone
I crossed the river to find a new life
Although I free now I barely survived
Followed the tunnel hoping for light
But what is really on the other side
Sometimes I go for weeks without
Shutting my eyes
Old friend vaping cherry said
I'll ruin my life
Video tape dreams are nothing but
Static and lies
Move to the groove of the rain
Till the sadness dies
I crossed the river to find a new life
Although I free now I barely survived
Followed the tunnel hoping for light
But what is really on the other side
Where is the light

Goodbye
04:51

I think I see the signals
Of what’s about to end
My heart was torn in two
When I found out you only play pretend
Found unfamiliar underwear around the house
I don't feel welcome anymore
You tell me it's not what it is
But I just need to get out the door
You found love away from me
Hurt me so bad baby can't you see
My guts feel weird and twisted
When you say the I.L.u’s
Not a clue if you know I do
That I know about you too
I would have let you if you asked
But around my back you danced
Whatever you keep behind
Truth comes with time
It comes to an end
You found love away from me
Hurt me so bad baby can't you see
Should have told
But came to find
Our love unfolds
So say goodbye
My guts feel weird and twisted
When you say the I.L.u’s
Not a clue if you know I do
That I know about you too
I would have let you if you asked
But around my back you danced
Whatever you keep behind
Truth comes with time
It comes to an end
You found love away from me
Hurt me so bad baby can't you see
Should have told
But came to find
Our love unfolds
So, say goodbye

Lone Ranger
04:39
|
|||
|
Gasoline drenched desires bleeding through
I never realized what fear was till I met you
Broken glass
Broken dreams set on the shelf
How do I survive this hell of hollow yells
Some sharp feeling in my heart
My head about to explode
Don't think that i'll run behind
And be your lone ranger anymore
When your hair strangled my neck
And released this flame
For all we know the cold hard nights are to blame
You put me down you took my mind and ran
And somehow you still expect me to be your man
Some sharp feeling in my heart
My head about to explode
Don't think that i'll run behind
And be your lone ranger anymore
Some sharp feeling in my heart
My head about to explode
Don't think that i'll run behind
And be your lone ranger anymore

Find Myself
04:11
|
|||
|
Trying, hiding, the fear to face the truth
I’ve seen faces, been to places, went through phases
Sleepless, speechless, all by myself in the night
Ran through the dirt, I've got myself hurt
Done and worn the shirt
So why can't I find myself, I thought that I belonged
Quiet, riot, all the thoughts inside my head
I’ve lost my love, I've had it rough but tried to stay tough
Restless, relentless, nowhere to run and hide
Ran through the dirt, I've got myself hurt
I've done and worn the shirt
But why can't I find myself, I thought that I belonged
And have I failed myself, where did I go wrong
Finding solace in drinking, smoking, fucking
Looked for something, but found nothing
Nothing quite filled up the hole
Left your mind somewhere down the road
On the corner of Lonesome street
Hang with the punks, like a bitch in heat
She said: ‘Don't be pathetic, you're killing my style.
Why don't you leave for the south for a while?’
But why can't I find myself, I thought that I belonged
And have I failed myself, where did I go wrong

Don't Mind The Dark
02:13
|

|
It’s Friday night
I’ve got my funky shoes on
Let's have a ball
We don't mind the dark
Feel my heart
I’m looking for love
I want to have it all
We don't mind the dark
Forget about the day, we are not ashamed
We’re trying to live life to the fullest
Groove the night
A brown-haired girl
She’s looking tight
We don't mind the dark
She came to me
Her lips going wide
‘Want to dance somewhere else baby?’
We don't mind the dark
Forget about the day, we are not ashamed
We’re trying to live life to the fullest

Night Drive
02:48
|

|
Drive through the night
Rain and lights passing by
Alone in my car
It takes me far away
Don't wake me up from my dream
Wide awake with a need for speed
Risk my life foot to the floor
Night drive is what I live for
Can't shake the feel
Push down my right heel
Going nowhere
Not stopping to go and sleep
Windows rolled down
Move along through this endless town
The neon shines bright
I just want to get lost in the night
Don't wake me up from my dream
Wide awake with a need for speed
Risk my life foot to the floor
Night drive is what I live for
The road up ahead
The destination has been set
Grab the wheel
I just want to go and feel free
Don't wake me up from my dream
Wide awake with a need for speed
Risk my life foot to the floor
Night drive is what I live for

Who Am I
03:26

|
Take a shot of Xanax
Hit it with some liquor
Do you feel better now
Did things get better now
Hide behind the numbness
Hide behind the numbness
Using is easy feeling good is not
You are sweet yet so forgettable
When is the last time you smiled but weren't happy
You weren’t happy
Who am I
Who am I
To disagree with my own mind
Who am I
Who am I
I'll let it go this time
Pop a few more pills
I know that it kills
I don't really care at all
Do you really care at all
Fleeing from the sadness
Fleeing from the sadness
Get myself high to forget that I'm so low
You are so sweet yet so forgettable
When is the last time you smiled but weren't happy
You weren’t happy
Who am I
Who am I
To disagree with my own mind
Who am I
Who am I
I'll let it go this time
Who am I
Who am I
To disagree with my own mind
Who am I
Who am I
I'll let it go this time
Pop a few more pills
Do you really care
Who am I
Who am I
To disagree with my own mind
Who am I
Who am I
I'll let it go this time
Who am I
Who am I
To disagree with my own mind
Who am I
Who am I
I'll let it go this time
