Nothing is Easy

I've waited all my life
And i wish i could get it right
But nothing is ever easy with you
I try so hard to make you see me
But I remain invisible
Work to the bone just to please you
Maybe one day I'll be irresistible
I've tried to change
Results are the same
Play out the dialogue that i have preordained
I made it easy to blame you
I made it easy to blame you
I've waited all my life
And i wish i could get it right
But nothing is ever easy with you
I'm taking back my life
So i can feel alright
Slowing down
So I can swallow my pride
It's a mass hallucination
All the colours that we see
Total mental devastation
No more air for us to breathe
I made it easy to blame you
I made it easy to blame you
I've waited all my life
And i wish i could get it right
But nothing is ever easy with you
I'm taking back my life
So i can feel alright
So i can make the ride
So i can swallow my pride

Dead Birds

Scared to go back where it began
Where everything went wrong
I've become a perverted reflection of what i think you want
I can see you're suffering
I can read it on your face
I keep thinking that smothering you
Will lead to our tender embrace
But that's not the case
I cant' give up loving you
It's the only thing i know
I don't wanna bother you
With excuses that have become old
Don't want to go cold
I just wanna warm your heart
If it's the last thing that i do
You became my confidant
When i gave my heart to you
I can see you're suffering
I can read it on your face
I keep thinking that smothering you
Will lead to our tender embrace
But that's not the case
I hope it's not the end
And that I've taken it too far
To the point of no return
Where i cant fix what's wrong
i hope it's not the end
That's the last thing i want
i know you're suffering
i know you're suffering
i know you're suffering

Forcing that Smile
03:07
|
|||
|
Forcing my smile
but I'm dying inside
And my tears have all dried
Let's make a deal
To always say what we feel
Even If things get to real
And i know I'm alone
There's no one in my brain
Just an hallucination
That always stays the same
I've got nothing to hide
And I've lost the will to fight
And i don't need to be right
I cant pretend
That things aren't weird
Tired of being ruled by fear

Brave Enough
03:54
|

|
I just realized i can't live without you
You're the moon and the stars in my sky
Here's hoping i can change enough
And be brave enough
To be without you
We've been stuck for quite some time
And i don't know how to work it out
I know it's hard for me to let you in
But i don't know how
So we'll never win
So petrified to lose you
but i realized i never really had you
I don't want it to end but we've tried everything
It's a sin that i can't live without you
But i feel our love has started to die
I'll give in to this last resort
if you give me your word
That we'll make it brand new
So petrified to lose you
But i realized i never really had you
I don't want it to end but we've tried everything
Here's hoping i can change enough
And brave enough
Cause I can't live without you
Here's hoping i can change enough
And brave enough
Cause I can't live without you

Cut Off Your Wings
03:52
|

|
Here is something to take of the edge
All that will remain is your empty shell
The only solution
Is to cut off your wings
You should be grateful
You won't feel a thing
The only solution is to numb your broken mind
We wont go to the source even if your body declines
The only solution
Is to cut off your wings
You should be grateful
You won't feel a thing
I can see that you're broken
That's just how it is
I'll be lining my pockets before you know what i did
To hell with the symptoms cause only i know the truth
I can see that you're broken but that's just how it is
But i don't care as long as i get rich

Dead on Arrival
05:05
|

|
Now that I'm here
I want to leave
cause i feel I've outstayed my welcome
I got what i wanted and the seas have parted
No I'm stuck here sucking on my thumb
Oh no
You were dead on arrival
Sometimes you don't know
What you've got till it's gone
Now that it's over
Wish I was still there
Maybe next time will be better
I've indulged so much
In what I believe to be
My only purpose
Oh no
You were dead on arrival
Sometimes you don't know
What you've got till it's gone
Looking for a shortcut
Cause it's taking too long
Time to get worked up
Cause everything is going wrong
You've clearly had enough
And you'll be crushed beneath the weight
Erased by events beyond what you want to know
The edge is getting near
Are you ready to fall off
You broke my fall with your heart
It can never be enough

No One Wants to be Alone
03:45
|

|
Oh
What do you know
You've got it all
But it's never enough
It's just
A crack of the whip
You always get up
But you're never equipped
You can point it any which way that you want
But no one wants to be alone
You can push everyone you love away
But no one wants to be alone
Your heart's been broken and it's turn to stone
But no one wants to be alone
You can point it any which way that you want
But no one wants to be alone
Now
What do you see
Is it something
That you wanna believe
Taken for a ride
Into the depths
Of your ungrateful mind
You can point it any which way that you want
But no one wants to be alone
You can push everyone you love away
But no one wants to be alone
Your heart's been broken and it's turn to stone
But no one wants to be alone
You can point it any which way that you want
But no one wants to be alone
No one wants to be alone
No one wants to be alone
No one wants to be alone
I keep on trying but I'm lying to you
I guess i bit off more than i could chew
I keep on trying but I'm lying to you
I guess i bit off more than i could chew

Avoiding the Matinee
03:08
|

The rivers run red with blood
As he smiles to embrace the horror
The wretches all try to escape
Cause they know he'll give them no quarter
Doomed to feed his thirst
Consumed by his lust for blood
He'll crush your bones like bread
He'll do it out of love
He's been holed up in his coffin all day
Avoiding the matinee
If I were you I'd hurry home
Before the gloaming
Betrays you to the dark
Doomed to feed his thirst
Consumed by his lust for blood
He'll crush your bones like bread
He'll do it out of love
The rivers run red with blood
And he smiles to embrace the horror
The wretches all try to escape
Cause they know he'll give them no quarter

Lambasting Again

Lambasting again
You'll never learn anything
Stop pretending you're a caged bird
With no will left to sing
You've got your nose in the air
There's no more room for your boots
You're preparing the fanfare
For your army of brutes
Try as you may I don't think you get it
You botch everything and never regret it
You're no gentleman
Just a shirk specimen
No surprise that you can't handle
Your own medicine
You have to prove you're a man
That's where the problem began
And you think that you're a big boy
With your tight-fisted gang
Try as you may I don't think you get it
You botch everything and never regret it
Lambasting again
You'll never learn anything
Stop pretending you're a caged bird
With no will left to sing
You're deep rooted ideals
Will always reveal
Your deep rooted trauma
That you don't know how to heal

Disquietude
07:20
|
|||
|
It's a sorry state of affairs
That only time can repair
Just have to cradle the strain
And wait for it to go away
Put in the work but the rewards are few
It doesn't matter what you do
And love isn't always enough
Expecting more is dangerous
I've always tried to be there for you
But now I'm hardly ever in the mood
I must confess I was too obsessed
With any way that I could please you
The disappointment has just set in
And the patience has been wearing thin
Broke off the elbow, that was already bent
I wish I knew where my backbone went
I've always tried to be there for you
But now I'm hardly ever in the mood
I must confess I was too obsessed
With any way that I could please you
I'll let you take the lead
So your ego to can be freed
Why should it matter what I want
It's Black and white and never grey
