Deathblow

I don't know how far to go
I'm still feeling this deathblow

Dark Ocean
04:43
|
|||
|
We're swimming through these dark oceans
Our solitary devotion to these unwanted emotions
Blood and motion in the crowd
It seems like it's time we all bow out
My mind is so fucking loud
What's it gonna take for us to wake up
How much light do we need to shine
These nightmare emotions
Creating beauty and meaning from darkness
This place is crazy
God it's so cold
I don't even know why we're living anymore
Blood and motion in the crowd and
Dark ocean, drowning us all

Angel
04:28
|
|||
|
I, I don't wanna be like this
There's so much fogginess
My mouth is full of glass
These words hurt too much
My angel
Come earn your wings
Release me
Where, where has my life gone
All I have are regrets
Everything I've done has been meaningless
What's the point of all of this

Everybody
Rock your body
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back alright
Oh my God we're back again
Brothers, sisters, everybody sing
We're gonna bring the flavor show you how
I've gotta question for ya
Better answer now
Am I original? (yeah)
Am I the only one? (yeah)
Am I sexual? (yeah)
Am I everything you need?
You better rock you body now
Now throw your hands up in the air
And wave 'em around like you just don't care
If you wanna party let me hear you yell
'Cause we've got it goin' on again

Nails

Nails
In my fucking, in my fucking head
Same shit every day
Am I gonna be okay?
Put the gun in my mouth
Bang-bang, blood go spray
I don't give a fuck, no, I don't give a fuck
Anything you have to say, anything you do to me
Deeper and deeper and deeper
I am the nail
Drive me in, drive me in deeper
The end of the world
Nails in my fucking head
Failing and fucking failing
Here we are stuck in bed
Overdosing on these meds
Hail Mary, send your angels
I'm buying what you sell
Put the gun in my mouth
Bang-bang, blood go spray
Will it be okay?
The end of the world
Doesn't seem so bad

My Requiem
03:35
|
|||
|
Words used as knives
Piercing our love
Our history pinned to cork
Studying, finding faults
End of the line
My requiem
Forgive me
For chaining
Your heart
Absent missing closure
What was the reason
Our history meaningless
Running, down the drain
End of the line

Brave
03:36
|
|||
|
Mirrors all around us
Reflecting choking darkness
So hard to discuss
This unending inwardness
If we can open our hearts
If we can brave the start
There's something
Something like hope
Open up and begin to cope
All these ways to process
None of them are speaking
In art we find progress
The truth is, that's seeking
Lovers and friends hurting for us,
We're so far caught in this snare
How can we beg for their help
When it is ourselves we despair
The only way through is through
But how much can we bear
|

Queens and Kings
03:22
|
|||
|
Cyclical lyrics going around
We're all prisoners, bound to the hounds
Wordsmith painters in echo chambers
Queens and kings of repeating the same things
Round and round, we sit in these thrones, crowned
Queens and kings, throats dark with rings
Round and round, we're buried underground
Queens and kings, bones that sing
What's to say that hasn't been said
Everyday we wake up with dread
Let's write down these thoughts, cast our lots
Queens and kings of repeating the same things
We're broken records, disease in our words
Skipping in a loop, begging to be heard
Play it again and hear our pain
Queens and kings of repeating the same things

The Final Countdown
05:54
|
|||
|
We're leavin' together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
Oh
We're headin' for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all, yeah
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we all miss her so
The final countdown, oh
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
We're leavin' together
(The final countdown)
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
Yeah

Melancholy

|
Tell me how to write a song
Tell me how to sing for fun
Tell me how to shine like the sun
Tell me I can be someone

The Dreamer Wakes
06:28
|
|||
|
I don't know which of you I'm singing to
I don't know which of you I should rue
The dreamer wakes
There's no more stakes
He's lost his way
Madness and pain
Singing these songs of woe is me
Fuck it, no god hears his plea
He needs to take control
Honestly even if he bears his soul
It doesn't do shit
That much he's got to admit
Talk to someone, you stupid whelp
Get some fucking help
You're sick in the head
Write your sad poetry in bed
Might as well jerk off instead
I'm so fucking tired of your excuses
You wanna know who to pin for these abuses?
Look in the mirror (x4)
The dreamer wakes up, there's no one left
There's no more stakes, he's put them to rest
He's lost his way in madness and pain
These pages are a testament, he's insane (insane)
The dreamer wakes
Amidst ashes and ruins
All he's known
Has crumbled or flown
All he's known
Has crumbled or flown
Ashes and ruins
