In Black and White
03:59
|
|||
|
First light, the beating of your heart
Hindsight, it was damaged from the start
Inside, there's a void as black as coal
Tongue-tied and ready to swallow you whole
Do your dreams make you nervous?
Do the screams keep you up at night?
Alone in black and white
Didn't mean to make you go
Anything just to say you're not alone
Another word and then the walls come closing in
Another word to gain control
It's a long way to go to make a change
Cinders, still living with a liar
Embers, left over from the fire
Crowded, yet feeling so alone
Houses, so far away from home
Do your dreams make you nervous?
Hit too close to home
Do the screams keep you up at night?
They sound just like your own
Alone in black and white
Didn't mean to make you go
Do you really believe it?
Anything just to say you're not alone
Was it something you needed?
Another word and then the walls come closing in
Another word to keep control
I want to see the things you see
I want you far away from me
I want to be the one you
This is not your home
Didn't mean to make you go
Do you really believe it?
Anything just to say you're not alone
Was it something you needed?
Another word and then the walls come closing in
Another word to lose control

Coming Through
03:04

You tried hard not to take it
But you still felt bruised
You tried hard not to break it
But fell short of the
Airwaves are static
I wish you'd come back down
The airwaves are tragic
But you're still coming through
You wanted not to need it
But you still fell through
You wanted not to feed it
But couldn't face
It's always a panic
I wish you'd come back down
It's always so manic
But you're still coming through
And love can make the fractured belong
And life can make the fragile strong
The airwaves are static
I wish you'd come back down
The airwaves are tragic
But you're still coming through
But you're still coming through
But you're still coming through

Lost Inside the Antidote
03:27
|
|||
|
You've been listening for the call, there's no waiting now
It's just formality to get you where you need to be
On the off chance you should fall, you're just unlucky
Sometimes the remedy is far worse than the malady
Lost inside the antidote
Don't know what I was running from
Lost inside the antidote
And nowhere feels safe any more
In your room just down the hall, it's all waiting now
It's just eternity, left questioning your sanity
For something big it seems so small, no one needs you now
Sometimes the enemy is wrapped up inside apathy
Lost inside the antidote
Don't know what I was running from
Lost inside the antidote
And nowhere feels safe any more
Running after time
It's all so alien
Running after time
It's all so alien
It's all so alien
Lost inside the antidote
Don't know what I was running from
Lost inside the antidote
And nowhere feels safe any more

A Love Like Babylon
04:52
|
|||
|
Standing out in the acid rain
You look up through the tears and feel the pain
Looking for a way back in
Your love is a hopeless love
Your love is a love that drifts away
Only to return again
All alone by the telephone
Waiting for the call that never comes
Lonely as the setting sun
And your love is like Avalon
Enchanted by the longing in your heart
What has your life become
And though you feel you've completely lost control
You only wanted to feel whole
You dream Avalon
You bend but you never break
You've seen Babylon
It's not the end just your latest mistake
Yet there's something about you
You're nothing like the other girls
You were never meant for this world
Never really asked for faithful
Never really thought you ever needed to
And now you can feel its toll
Your life is an empty life
Your life is a life filled with regret
Yearning for another soul
All alone by the telephone
Waiting for the call that never comes
Lonely as the setting sun
And your love is like Babylon
Haunted by the ruins of your heart
what has your life become
And though you feel you've completely lost control
You only wanted to feel whole
You dream Avalon
You bend but you never break
You've seen Babylon
It's not the end just your latest mistake
Yet there's something about you
You're nothing like the other girls
You were never meant for this world

Isolation
04:55
|

|
Oh, I can't ride the wave
Oh, You're so far away
And we don't know our way here
We've been bound together
Oh, I can't run away
Oh, You can feel the rage
And we can't face it all
It's like there's nowhere to go
And we don't want to stay here
Locked inside this nightmare
We can't take it all
It's like there's nowhere to fall
And where there was something before
It's like there's nothing at all
We can't face the fall
It's like there's nowhere to go
And where there was something before
It's like there's nothing at all

Houses
04:27
|
|||
|
Embers turn to ashes and the light grows thin
The turn of a key to let the demons in but you’re gone
And there's no way to face these things alone
While we're standing in the same shadow
And there's no place that truly feels like home
When there's nowhere left to go
And through the sediment and stone
The loneliness still shows
Whispers fade to memories and the colors blend
Pictures tell the story but they miss the end and you're gone
And there's no way to ever really know
While we're standing in the fallen snow
And there's no way to make your heart beat slow
When there's nowhere left to go
And through the sediment and stone
The loneliness still shows
Lonely as an island lost to the sea
Washing over everything
And there's no way to face these things alone
While we're standing in the same shadow
And there's no place that truly feels like home
When there's nowhere left to go
And there's no way to ever really know
While we're standing in the fallen snow
And there's no way to make your heart beat slow
When there's nowhere left to go

Broken
03:43
|
|||
|
As you stood before them all
Did you think they wouldn't notice
The way you hid the voices?
An empty nesting doll
Did you think that they could care less
About you or your choices
When your life begins to stall
And you feel as if you'll fall
And there's nothing left but hopeless
When you stumble to the ground
And the world feels upside down
You're not the one who's broken
As the fists began to fall
Did you think that I was fearless
The way I stood there battered
But back behind it all
Did you know that I felt worthless
Like I didn't matter
When your back's against the wall
And they make you feel so small
And there's nothing left but hopeless
When you feel you’ve been cast out
And there's nothing left to doubt
You're not the one who's broken
When your life begins to stall
And you feel as if you'll fall
And there's nothing left but hopeless
When you stumble to the ground
And the world feels upside down
You're not the one who's broken

Raindrop Pools
04:13
|
|||
|
Raindrop pools that smell like kerosene
And all the autumn leaves have all but gone
Images of hate and apathy
Making me feel I don't belong
Don't say something you can't come back from
You're a long way from where you belong
There's no point in telling me I'm wrong
I've seen your failings, dragging you along
If you see me slipping, don't try to hold on
Though you see me, I'm already gone
Turning fears into mock tragedies
What if all the critics got it wrong
Hiding scars behind false vanities
What if you're the ones that don’t belong
Don't say something you can't come back from
The world is waiting, watching you come undone
Don't turn back, just look ahead and run
You're a long way from where you started from
There's no point in telling me I'm wrong
I've seen your failings, dragging you along
If you see me slipping, don't try to hold on
Though you see me, I'm already gone
I don't claim to know how it feels to be in your shoes
But these open wounds, they keep me feeling anything
There's no point in telling me I'm wrong
I've seen your failings, dragging you along
If you see me slipping, don't try to hold on
Though you see me, I'm already gone
See the writing on the wall
I won't be there when you fall
You've made your bed of lies
Now lie there silently
There's no need for empty words
They can only serve to hurt
You've made your bed of lies
Now lie there silently

Explode
04:41
|

Time takes everything away
Unties unravels and decays
And you can feel its strain
Stricken as it waxes and wanes
It's not enough to stay
As the stars all fade away
And explode
And there's something in the air
The way their hearts fall down in pairs
And there's something in their eyes
And the dreams they dream wash over
And it's been waiting from the start
Destined to pull you apart
And you can hear its call
Listen as it rises and falls
It's not enough to know
As the raindrops turn to snow
And explode
And there's something in the air
The way their hearts fall down in pairs
And there's something in their eyes
As they whisper their goodbyes
And there's something in the chase
The way they long for the embrace
And the dreams they dream wash over
Adrift among the waves
Fading ink along the page
It's not enough to stay
As the stars all fade away
And explode
And there's something in the air
The way their hearts fall down in pairs
And there's something in their eyes
As they whisper their goodbyes
And there's something in the chase
The way they long for the embrace
And the dreams they dream wash over

I'm Alive
04:11
|
|||
|
It's nights like these
The wind through the trees and a chill in the air
It cuts through me
Like a ship on the sea as if I wasn't there
And you really couldn't see
The forest for the trees
And you didn't notice me
Or you didn't care
The water falls over
I'm dying until I remember I'm alive
The water falls over
I'm dying until I remember I'm alive
And all the stares
they're everywhere, the air that I breathe
The hopes we share
And the scars that tear, lie just beneath
But you really couldn't see
All the weight that I bear
And you didn't notice me
Or the way that I care
The water falls over
I'm dying until I remember I'm alive
The water falls over
I'm dying until I remember I'm alive

Homesick
03:26
|

|
Cineraria smiles and house built of stone
Safe and warm in the arms of a savior
All the faces have changed, I've gotten much older Drifted away like a wave on the ocean
Yeah, but it's okay
It's better this way
This way I see more clearly
The further I go the closer I get to what's real
The bluest of skies and days that never end
Time stands still and dreams are forever
Yet, nothing's the same, the echoes have all gone
It's lost its glow, it all feels so faded
Yeah, but it's okay
It's better this way
This way I see more clearly
The further I drift the closer I get to myself

Icy Grey
04:18
|

|
Looking out
The air is thin and sky is pale
But I can't tell
Through the icy grey
Looking out
Look how the scars they mar the land
And happiness
Seems so far way
Lead me on
All roads are true
Lead me on
The rain can only fall for so long
Looking out
We've lost all sense of normalcy
But I can't tell
Through the icy grey
Lead me on
all roads are true
Lead me on
The day will come soon dear
The clouds will all burn away soon
Lead me on
All roads are true
Lead me on
The day will come soon dear
You're never alone here
The clouds will all part dear
The rain can only fall for so long
