Despair 01:08
lyrics

Love, lust, war Heal me Dark Festering in me Nails down blackboard Don't trust anyone Don't get hurt again It's a ruse Don't trust Can't trust Liar Love, lust, war I hate you I hate me I saw it I saw it coming Curse you Don't trust I won't trust I won't be hurt again Help me

Animal Inside 03:39
lyrics
buy track
You're a liar Every face I look at Turns into yours I wish I was as blind As I had been before Liar Fuck your way to hell I know I'll see you there This animal inside of me It's getting so angry It's coming out of me And not to play You used me, abused me I want to love myself Can't move past this hate Say you're leaving Like it was for me Quit being a fucking martyr Every time I talk to you I wonder why I do Not good enough to take Instead you decide to break I'm not worth six hours What a waste of flowers Ardent, A Minor I regret Fighting for you When you'd rather have left

Taste of Blood 05:05
lyrics
buy track
I get a taste of blood in my mouth when you're near A feeling that's too painful to bear I get a taste of blood in my mouth when you're near A feeling that's too painful to bear Straight to my head I get a look of fear on my face with you here A feeling that shivers down my skin Try to resist, but it's just not finished with you yet A hold too intense to forget

Watch You Burn 03:16
lyrics
buy track
You and your lies Your fucked up highs I want to watch you burn Gonna watch you burn I want to watch you burn I'm gonna watch you burn Make your way down the avenue Walk over stars, skipping the queue I see someone who looks in the mirror Can't see the cracks even when nearer Tell me, how many fits have you thrown How many people have you left alone I see someone who wants the attention But really needs some fucking comprehension

Braille in the Sky 02:52
lyrics
buy track
I say I don't believe There's a god If there was then why Do our children die There's no way A god exists I'm blind to you Braille in the sky But I can't feel something so far (Blind to you, blind to you) I wish there was a higher power If you exist Give me a sign Why don't you fix this broken world Where are you

Suffocating 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Endless night Endless day Moving on Cannot stay It grows dark It glows bright Poetry torn and Pages ugly Scars unseemly and I can't see me Useless tourniquet and Mind is reeling Suffocation and Desecration Lock me away In this cage Throw the key Leave me be Black fog Endless doubt Epilogue Blackout Destroy the mirror Silence my screams Don't touch me Don't touch me I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe I'm suffocating

Face the Tide 05:24
lyrics
buy track
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 I'm not strong enough for suicide So instead I'll grow up and face the tide Face the tide

I Exist 03:52
lyrics
buy track
We're all gonna make it Everything will be okay There's no need to fray Tomorrow will be better Than today I don't want to think about Yesterday I just want to move on My life is worth living I don't want it wasted on the past Hello Hello Can you hear me I exist I've made mistakes Life can feel like an outtake But I know at the end of the day There's always a way The long road home We're screaming to be heard Above sounds of breaking hearts Bombs are falling from our eyes

Hope 00:53

I'm back where I belong Summer has come The long road home Is done I can love myself Happiness is where you make it This feels so right I'm home
