The End Of Time

It made him question his mind
Brought him down to his knees
Always thought he was crossing the line
Couldn't see forest from the trees
When the walls
We're closing in
All the doubt settled in
You see love had made him blind
the joy was within grasp
He'd love her till the end of time
But he knew that it wouldn't last
When the walls
We're closing in
All the doubt settled in
And it all
Consumed his thoughts
And truth made him
see the rot
Was it all for naught
When the walls kept closing in
Who couldn't stop slighting himself
He'd love her til the end of time

Debilitate Me
03:32
|
|||
I'll shake off the moment
you know this happens all the time
Feels like I'm never here
but you know I never was
I'm running out of quips
Oh how I wish
I could think on my feet
It's all too late
Then I fixate on what I need
I've always tried to put my heart in the right place
I've always tried to show my love in the right way
I should have lied
I wiped away your smile
I just wanted to fight
Oh dear
It's happening again
I've forgotten where I am
And now I'm Sinking in my seat
I ran out of chances
Before I tried
It's always too late
Why should we fixate on goodbye
I've always tried to put my heart in the right place
I've always tried to show my love in the right way
I should have lied
I wiped away your smile
I just wanted to fight
I always try to put my mouth where my mind is
I always try to steer away from where the fight is
I should have lied
I wiped away your smile
I didn't see the red light

Dumb and Dead
02:09
|
|||
Nothing will ever be the same again
Every single thing will leave a dent
It's all the same as every other day
There's no way to stop moving
Why so Dumb and Dead
Why so Dumb and Dead
Why so Dumb and Dead on your feet
I'm the biggest fan of suffering
A sneaky the advocate of battering
Let's embrace the decay
We're all gonna die someday
Why so Dumb and Dead
Why so Dumb and Dead
Why so Dumb and Dead on your feet
Why so Dumb and Dead
Why so Dumb and Dead
Why so Dumb and Dead on your feet

Cleaner Than God
04:24
|
|||
I'm stuck To myself
And the weight is slowly crushing me
I have no one but myself
to tell me how to be
The world outside my door
Is bursting at the seams
So quiet right now
And we are haunted by our dreams
I know that I'm too soft
And love will never be enough
I have to be what I need
Or my desires will fall apart
It's pointless to hide my flaws
Cause they're half of who I am
I'll never be Cleaner than god
That's why I don't give a damn
I'm stuck To myself
And the weight is slowly crushing me
The world outside is bursting at the seams
It's so quiet outside
It's so quiet outside
I'm Haunted by my dreams
I'm Haunted by my dreams

Hot Mess
03:22
|
|||
Even though I'm a hot mess
I do clean up nice
I don't know how this progressed
But I don't care to decide
Oh I wish I had less to think about
Too many details to iron out
It's just another day for me
I'm indifferent to this hunt
How did it get to this degree
I don't care to do this stunt
Oh I wish I had less to think about
Too many details to iron out
Plain or boring
Who will decide
Tame but warring
Floating with the tide
Plain or boring
Who will decide

Maybe Never
03:58
|
|||
I'd kill the memories
But there are plenty
And with every passing day
There's a moment that slips away
My body is reeling
It's so unappealing
And for what it's worth
The feeling is getting worse
Maybe next time
Or maybe never
Forever alone together
Every special occasion
Ruined by dictation
I wouldn't change a thing
Cause you were worth worshiping
Maybe next time
Or maybe never
Forever alone together
On the wrong side of friction
Is the sum of it all adding up
You're treat all your afflictions
Trying to remember what you love
Forever alone
Forever alone
Together
Forever alone
Forever alone
Together
Forever

I Live the Lie
02:31
|
|||
I live the lie
Is it just me just or do I feel fine
I need the liquid to clean my dishes
And watch the foam drip from my fingers
But the plate is still crusty
And my fingers are pruney
And all the traces still linger
I live the lie
Is it me just or have I lost my mind
I'm Seizing the day
With a fever
I always had to be an over-achiever
I can't be tired
the stakes are higher
And I'm so scared of the cleaver
I live the lie
Don't get paid for overtime
I was bred for success
I'll make a mess just give me some time

If Eyes Could Kill
05:02
|

If eyes could kill
You'd only have to look up
No one is a immune
They'll never measure up
When they're soft and sweet
They could dissolve a holdup
You're someone to meet
You only have to look up
Expectations leave you bone dry
Everyone wants to be seen
They don't know you
Heavens knows why
I know you've got something
That I can't decipher
If I wasn't so drunk
I'd be your designated driver
She broke my heart with ease
My legs turned into butter
There was no reprise
Cause her heart turned into rubber
Expectations leave you bone dry
Everyone wants to be seen
They don't know you
Heavens knows why
They don't know you
And many have tried
They don't know you
And neither do i

Operation Human Shield
03:10
|
|||
I'm operation human shield
I'm only waiting for the end
Company of one is all I keep
I live like a heathen
Pretend that I'm breathing
I kill the boredom when I ache
And now tomorrow is opaque
I fall in love with the mistakes
And pretend that I'm breathing
I Live like a heathen
Weak and uneven
Throw out all reason
No more believing
Live like a heathen
Live like a heathen
Pretend that you're breathing
No more believing

Consummate
04:25
|
|||
Everyone is looking at me
With their superior pedigrees
And
I'm like an elephant
All of my fears
Killing the fruits of fruition
That's why i settle for submission
What was will always be there
And really wanted to believe it was fair
But I lied to myself
I always over sell
All of the dreams
Challenging my disposition
Why do I care about recognition
No one is looking at me
And I'm finding it hard to breathe
i wish I could forget
i wish I could forget

Burn
04:29
|
|||
Keep going in for the kill
And bend all the weak to your will
It's obvious the magic is gone
No more reason to hold on
Wanna burn the hedge of this maze
Even if you get caught in the blaze
But there's nothing left here to scorch
Cause everything has run its course
You always said you didn't need me
So I left you alone
Til you had the nerve to leave me
If things were different then they would be
Now I understand why this feels like deja vu
So hard to tell you anything
For fear of the things you might think
But when I'm waiting for the blow
I find out more things I don't know
I never saw you were there
I couldn't believe you were there
And now that I'm here all alone
Everything gets overblown
You always said you didn't need me
So I left you alone
And expected you to read me
If things were different then they would be
Now I understand why this feels like deja vu
You always said you didn't need me
So I left you alone
Til you had the nerve to leave me
If things were different then they would be
Now I understand why this feels like deja vu
