The Last Song
05:09

I don't want to write any more lines
I don't want to sing any more phrases
I don't want to hold another instrument
I just want to let go
I want to fade
I want to disappear
To hold my breath
To stop
I am numb
Pumping music
In my veins
I need to stop distracting myself
From what's really wrong with me
I can't be fixed by writing songs
I just want the music
To stop

Face the Tide
04:45
|

Waiting for you was a mistake
Waiting for blue skies to overtake
Why did I believe you
When you said your heart was unchanged
I let you twist mine for the fourth time
I think it's time I get out of line
I never liked waiting, anyway
I don't want to feel anymore
I want to turn off my emotions
I find it difficult to write happy songs
I find it difficult to understand why you spoke to me
We were done
But you winked and led me on by a silver chain
I've never felt more dumb
We were done
Leave me alone
Face the tide

Poison
04:51
|

|
I'm a fool for you
And baby I know it
Shoot me in the head
I'm done for as is
You're bad for me
You're oh so bad
Twist me up inside
And hang me up to die
I love you so bad
You drive me mad
I wish you'd shut your mouth
Cause you sound so so good
Poison
You're poison
I guess I'm ready to die
I'm poisoned
I don't want to look
But I can't avoid you
Stab me in my eyes
Cause that's what I need
You think you're hot stuff
Well baby you're right
But that doesn't mean
That you're good for me
You work your dark magic
Just by existing
I know you're onto me
And I'm onto you too
I wish I could look into
Your eyes and see my reflection
There's nothing there

Shapeshifter
03:59
|
|||
|
It comes as no surprise
I've seen my own demise
I Exist, blue skies
Epitaph, a darker guise
Always adrift, I'm needing to shift
Going where I haven't been
Changing my own skin
I have become the shapeshifter
Shapeshifter
Silencer
Saboteur
The old self dies
New soul flies
These faces that I've worn
Each one I do not mourn
From under a new one born
I will adorn
Masks and liars, light the pyres

Pluck the Stars
06:45
|
|||
|
I love the purple horizon
The navy clouds and tree silhouettes
I see from my window
Pluck the stars
From the sky
Pluck the stars
From my divide
The night lying on the grass
Swaying branches above
Higher velvet blanket
Thousand shining holes
Let's take one home
Live a brighter life
I know you like my own reflection
