Fade Away 04:26
lyrics
(one, two, three….) Four years of making this body match my mind A lifetime of dying before I came to life I’m alive, at least I am tonight Nightmares still haunt me, they’re the only dreams I know My past still taunts me, why can’t I let it go? Now I know that I can be so cold When will I find When will I find A sense of who I really am beneath the stories told And recognize my face again cause I can’t see my soul Some comfort in who I’ve become, who is that anyway? Will I ever know just who I am before I fade away? I try to be patient, try not to waste your time From minute to minute I tend to lose my mind Is that a sign that I’m falling behind? I want to be better, I want to be free I want you to weather the worst parts of me Can we agree that this is what I need? When will I find When will I find A sense of who I really am beneath the stories told And recognize my face again cause I can’t see my soul Some comfort in who I’ve become, who is that anyway? Will I ever know just who I am before I fade away? Will I ever know just who I am before I fade away? When will I find A sense of who I really am beneath the stories told And recognize my face again cause I can’t see my soul Some comfort in who I’ve become, who is that anyway? Will I ever know just who I am before I fade away?

No Answers 04:04
lyrics
Deadly woman in my dreams again Deadly woman in my bed All I ever wanted was a good girl Ended up with you instead Love ain’t sacred anymore Nothing’s sacred anymore You’re always waiting for the answers But you just don’t get it There are no answers anymore Your mind is running round in circles But you just don’t get it The truth will shake you to your core Hear me now, I’ll only say this once I need you now, I need you bad But if you walk away, you’d better be gone to stay Stay outta my sight and stay outta my head Love ain’t sacred anymore Nothing’s sacred anymore You’re always waiting for the answers But you just don’t get it There are no answers anymore Your mind is running round in circles But you just don’t get it The truth will shake you to your core You’re always waiting for the answers But you just don’t get it There are no answers anymore Your mind is running round in circles But you just don’t get it The truth will shake you to your core

Breaking Glass 03:59
lyrics
Once was all we had In this shattered world, I knew that I’ll never be free from I’ll never be free and gone Forever dead in this empty soul I know that I’ll never be free from I’ll never be free from This breaking, this breaking glass So won’t you stay with me While I break my final bone And won’t you bury me Under my resting stone Fault, and who’s to blame It never matters when I know that I’ll never be from I’ll never be free and cold And left for dead But don’t you cry for me I knew that I’d never be free from I’ll never be free from This breaking, this breaking glass So won’t you stay with me While I break my final bone And won’t you bury me Under my resting stone

Lady Smoke 04:52
lyrics
The hail, smoke and diamonds she made Were laid to rest with her in her grave She fell in love with a man made of fire He stole her soul from the angel’s choir Now she lives beneath the earth “Come a little closer” is all she heard Troubled hearts breed troubled minds Now she’ll never breathe again Love is torn and love is blind Should have never let him in So next time your heart starts to fall It might be love, or the devil Clear your mind and your soul may be spared Lady Smoke just wasn’t prepared Now she lives beneath the earth “Come a little closer” is all she heard Troubled hearts breed troubled minds Now she’ll never breathe again Love is torn and love is blind Should have never let him in Troubled hearts breed troubled minds Now she’ll never breathe again Love is torn and love is blind Should have never let him in

Picturebook 04:13
lyrics
You’re lost now that she’s leaving Life leaves no time for grieving Trouble is, you’ve got no hurry Troubled minds are left to worry And in your picturebook, she’s mine I could not tell you what it’d take to bring her home In your movie frame she lied Every line she sells you leaves you empty and alone Clock on the wall stops moving No more day, night, or morning Birds from above start falling You’re left to lose all these things And in your picturebook, she’s mine I could not tell you what it’d take to bring her home In your movie frame she lied Every line she sells you leaves you empty and alone If she wrote you a sweet love note You’d be dancing on her rope If I play you a simple love song Chances are you’ll be singing along If she wrote you a sweet love note You’d be dancing on her rope (On a rope again) If I play you a simple love song Chances are you’ll be singing along (ah ah ah) Same old story, we’re all lonely Undercover fairweather lover

Change Your Mind 05:13
lyrics
Don’t take my hand as you turn away from me Don’t take my words and make them what you need I’ve given all, never really thought you’d leave But I won’t take the fall for your apathy Let’s not pretend that we’ll make it Cause you know how it ends Don’t try to fake it Time has a way of twisting up your memories Can time turn to love what once was only suffering? Let’s not pretend that we’ll make it Cause you know how it ends Don’t try to fake it If you change your mind, I’ll be waiting If you change your mind, I won’t change nothing at all If you change your mind, I’ll be waiting If you change your mind, I won’t change nothing at all Plastic stupid smiles and candy coated dreams Can you strip your mind of all of these terrible things? Let’s not pretend that we’ll make it Cause you know how it ends Don’t try to fake it If you change your mind, I’ll be waiting If you change your mind, I won’t change nothing at all If you change your mind, I’ll be waiting If you change your mind, I won’t change nothing at all At all If you change your mind, I’ll be waiting If you change your mind, I won’t change nothing at all If you change your mind, I’ll be waiting If you change your mind, I won’t change nothing at all

Right/Wrong 04:08
lyrics
(one, two three…) I don’t want forgiveness from stained glass temples And I break down the madness, it always leaves me cold And I’m not one for begging, still I’m on my knees I’ve always hated endings, I don’t know where they lead You were right all along Can’t admit I was wrong You were right all along Can’t admit I was wrong I feel my heart is breaking as each beat comes to rest Emotional and empty, but still I’ve tried my best You were right all along Can’t admit I was wrong You were right all along Can’t admit I was wrong Lights go down at midnight We close up the set With every moment fleeting Every day’s a mess You were right all along Can’t admit I was wrong You were right all along Can’t admit I was wrong
