Perspectives 03:45
I think I know what it means to feel indifferently/about everything I hung by a string once you know/Don’t look below/the old me would give up/sit down and shut up/play dead enough said/now I'm getting rid of this hindsight/I'm prepared to ignite/I decided it was time to leave/as I went rushing through the autumn trees/and I planned my escape from feeling alone/it's only been about 11 years or so/I felt the suns embrace/light across my face/left without a trace/left without a trace/Now I see the world through a new set of eyes/it’s just perspectives/Let's look for the goodness in the darkest of times/Now I see my life more than just a mess/it’s just perspectives/It's a place of worship I am thankful for it/The only thing that was in my way was myself/I took a look at the things I've done/the shit I've said, the life I lead was verging on the edge/I decided it was time to leave/as I went rushing through the autumn trees/and I planned my escape/from feeling the way/I used to when I had no words to say/and I hate the thoughts/plaguing my mind to the point/where I can't tell the difference/between caring and indifference/I tried to find the point of my existence/the only thing that was in my way was myself/Now I see the difference in opportunity/it paints a picture that I can't help but to see every night/running through my mind these thoughts change with time
2.
And I've come to learn, that we all can't be perfectly happy/so I'll take this matter into my own hands/call me weak call me what you will/I'll take your moral bullets gladly/At least my ignorance doesn’t get the best of me/and I'm not the one to blame for the mistakes you made/everybody's a judge in disguise/that needs someone to blame/I've got the losing feeling tonight/I'm falling you’re falling/I've got the losing feeling tonight/I’m slipping we’re slipping/so we stay up for the break up/but now you're still coming around/I’ve got the losing feeling tonight/All I see is twisted signals when you call me a friend/You’re calling me a companion/was just a cover for your selfish needs/your love for your fellow man was so out of context/your ignorance holds you down although you speak with no hint of doubt/I'm done with being broken down so I’ll leave you with the understanding losing of this feeling now/For better or for worse you have changed me/and maybe one day you'll come around/Let’s go

Salt 04:04
You're pushing everyone else away/turning into someone you hate/Lost sight of your aspirations/I've lost a friend/I don't know how your breathing/it drives me away/The lies you said to family and friends about the love for the music you had/I don't want to hear it anymore I've seen your ego soar inside I'm screaming no more/You're pushing everyone else away/turning into someone you hate/I've seen it on your faces so just scream it from the bottom of your heart/no more no more/How's it gonna feel when nobody’s at your show/cause no one gives a shit about your malicious ego/don't try to hide and don't try to confide in the ones you love/you will be alone/I know the type who start a fight over petty shit/entitlement/no excuse to hang a noose/you've dug your grave/go die in it die in it/it means the world to you/but it means more to me/You're pushing everyone else away/turning into someone you hate/when you look into the mirror do you recognize the man that you see/because I don't think you know just/how it’s gonna feel when nobody's at your show/and no one gives a shit about your goddamn ego/you don't know what you've brought upon yourself but with/no one left around just sit on it/figure it out/your ego

Rain 04:14
First the rain and then the flood, trying to breath it’s not enough/anxiety it fills my lungs, pulls me under can't get above/pull me pull me above/pull me pull me out of the deep/It happens when I can't sleep at night/these fears in my head are now coming to life/Tonight/walls caving in roaches under my skin/I’m trembling I’m trembling/it happens when I can't sleep at night/first the rain and then the flood/laying motionless/stare at the ceiling/nothing’s revealing the truth/get me above/it fills my lungs/fills my lungs/It fills my lungs/tread my way through the darkest depths/pour me out until there's nothing left/It happens when I can’t sleep at night/These fears left their trace in the back of my mind/oh dear G-d why/Its slowly killing me I fight for control/but my will is weak/can't find what to seek anymore/help me breathe/help me breathe again/I can't understand the hell I'm living in but I will try my best/my eyes are fastened wide
5.
Infatuated 04:03
It's not exaggerated I'm infatuated with you/hey I heard they're on sale why don't you go buy a clue/getting lost in the way that you're moving/ill speak to you so nice so calm and soothing Break the walls of this chamber/the car the door the room the bed/Feel the night/lights dimmer/the words that I forgot I said/You got me staying up late/shopping malls and dinner dates/taking all that I can take/wither me until I break/Call me tomorrow and please remember my name/Lust at first sight, I think we're feeling on tonight/the thrill is gripping you and I/my phone’s ringing like thunder/hearts beating lips shutter/can we drown our past tonight/liquid poison sounds so right/1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 years ago/that's about the last time I had a real girlfriend who cared you know/I can hear the voices in your head let me give you what you want just listen/I've spent so much time on my own/I'll come gladly to your throne/I think we’re gonna explode tonight/I think we’re gonna cause it feels so right/let's take a flight just you and I/without a plane so hold on tight/Let me sneak into your room they'll never know/close the door come give me a show/hey you got me thinking that we should be drinking that/I shouldn't meet your dad tonight/book another date not too late/Pour me some more feeling so sore/chasing all of you/hope it's not too late man cause you were great/what else can I do

Meant for It 03:59
Here we go again, Nothing's changed I'm still here with my friends Time to figure it out, without a doubt the time is here and now This is who we are And I'm trying to discover something that not mundane and I've been waiting for a breakthrough that will, oh never happen I'm so sick of it waiting on your doorstep waiting for your call of waiting for your dumb call left in disappointment And I don't think that we will ever figure it out sing along to another broken song wish you could see these guys are ready for it wish you could see these words are meant for it It won’t take long till they see these songs have always made me This is my therapy witness the walls we’ve been breaking This is who I am I’m meant for it. I’m living in the time of my life, and I’m fine Screaming lines from the heart To let you know who we are This is who we are We've found our niche so don't go fuck with it now we've found our niche I've found my bliss Here we go again back at it cause the music never ends Time to figure it out has gone by our time is here and now

Fall 04:10
questions and riddles accumulating space in my head I'm finding no answers all I'm left with instead is a hole in my chest and I'll take anything I can get to fill it up why do I feel this way inside I'm trying to run I'm trying to hide (lift my eyes and pray for the signs) seek to find that I'm left staring into nothing the time I’ve spent was wasted waiting helplessly (maybe my hopes are all just futile and) dead dead dead that's all that's left in my head I think that I am lead astray Fall and fall again then start back over where it all began please keep these demons at bay inside of my mind (I cannot see the light please give me a sign) before I fall and fall again maybe this life that I've been living in has all been one giant lie please give me a sign (I cannot see the light please give me a sign) Quickly receding back to a place in my mind When the thought and a hope of a time was right in front of our eyes I'm falling (I don't wanna see the light of another day until I find out what my time here was meant to be) I don't know what to see I don't wanna see the light of another day until I find out what my time here was meant to be and I don't wanna feel the pressure of the things Forcing through my veins and fucking every single thing up in my head I feel that I've been led astray [Chorus] I’m trapped inside this hell that exists within my bed Feels like someone’s talking but nothing’s being said There’s a void that I cannot find the soil to fill I’ll stay trapped in this room stay in this tomb Until I find you Murmuring staggering voice deep inside my mind why have you come here and why won't you give me the time to think of what I need to help myself just move on and live my own life I can't fucking cope feels like someone's talking but nothing’s being said

David 03:56
God promised death now sleep Time to rejoice, I cannot weep you're my inspiration and you'll live life through me am I leading myself in misdirection and have I lived life the way that you see fit for me I miss your smile in the morning son I miss your face in the evening dusk I pray for courage through growing even when my heart is heavy I remember your words you said you told me to be the best of my strengths any weakness just forget you are my love the rock of my heart never neglected when our emotions fell apart your face is calm up to the neck in white sheets Now that you’re gone all I want is to be with you And I miss you I miss you this life I’ll continue I wrestle the tears falling down from my eyes but I remember your quote keep your head held high you are my love the rock of my heart and now that you’re gone my whole world is just falling apart now that you’re gone all I want is to be with you but I promise to inspire be hopeful in this life I lead and though my strength may falter I’ll continue

Empty 03:50
The sun sets over Mt. Najessgus My mind still lingers so unprotected the shadows portray things I never said hiding in the corners of your room I'm just a stranger in your bed and I still blame myself for all of this cause my ways are something that you don't miss I wish you would give me a second change and what is heaven without you what is hell if it already burns and love is what you give and my ways fell short of this I didn't give enough cause this bed’s still empty it's been a rough few weeks and I'm sorry I missed the chance to kiss your cheek songs about your face only make me wish my sins away
