Blindfolded Mind
02:50
|
|||
|
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a step back, take a step back
Walking the line
With blindfolded eyes
Ripped off every second I waste my youth
Mockingbirds chant in bad taste
Zipped mouths kept silent
Come forth when looking down
Snapped off and thrown to the edge
The edge of the world is second best
And here I look off mountain peak
Silenced dark thoughts pulling
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a step back, take a step back
Walking the line
With blindfolded eyes
And this fall holds all or nothing
Take a step back, take a step back
Blindfolded mind
And the call of the void makes the final step
And the call of the void
Speaks truths I’d rather not face
But it’s now or never
And never seems too late

Hopeful Alleys
04:52
|

Sprinted through the city
Down every alley
In every direction
I feel it coming close at heel
Vision's gone blurry
Black swallows me whole
But I’ll find a place to stay the night
The relief is almost there
Just stay in the hotel room
And pay a heavy price
As soon as I leave
I know it's waiting for me
Can’t believe you're here
I tried to strand you far
My only hope left
Speed off in my car
You’re not a person
You're a part of me
The darkest side
I've ever seen
Rearview mirror never saw you
Swore I left without a trace
Thought I left you at the side
Of the road that summer night
Shut the door behind
Not a cent left to my name
Here you are again
A thousand cities away
Since you're here anyway
Let's stay awake for days and days
The coffee is worthless
I could drift away
Your presence is bittersweet
If I accept, be a shadow
I could settle for numb silence
How far can I run
Before I lose you in hopeful alleys
All these cities look the same
Because the details fade away
Darkness is what you are
And I know that in the end
After all these troubled years
You're the one that pulls the threads
And after all we've seen throughout
I know my place
Without a doubt
You pull the strings and running won't silence you
Learned the hard way but I know it's true
Can't believe you're here
Used everything I have
There's no more tricks
Up my sleeve
You're not a person
You're a part of me
As much as I drive
You're in the back seat
Thought I left you at the side
Of the road so many times
Thought I left you outside
Of the hotel for a night
Thought I left you at the side
Of the road that summer night

Limits
03:08
|

Take me
To levels you can't explore
Without
Guilt filling your lungs
Be sick
So sick with me
I'll be your fantasy
I see your dark side
I'll match it with mine
Into gray thoughts we'll slide
Will you be
My sick fantasy
I will corrupt you so deep
The limits you thought you'd keep
Begin and end with this
With me
Take me
Through the muck and fuck
Try me
Just test your luck
Empty
Is what you thought you'd be
I'll meet you in your dreams
Trust me
You have met your match
You’re in
A spindled web, my catch
Twisted
Doesn't compare
To the night you'll hardly bear
Give in and feel nothing
While sensations keep you awake
Hold on, I have one last thing to take
I will corrupt you so deep
When you push and pull to be
The limits you thought you’d keep
Begin and end with this, with me

Don't take this too far
You whispered to me
I nodded back but I know better
Entangled deep, feeling sweet
Always so innocent when it starts
Never know just what you'll get
Imperfections thrown to the side
Let's dive in deep on the count of three
Reality spills ugly truths
But I know when it comes to you
That it all means something
And my curiosity got the best of me
Whether it's hopeful or sinful
You're just as guilty
And if this is a mistake
I guess we're too late
And now here we are talking deep
On the porch until sunrise
Because we didn't listen to reason
Let's go all in because we're way past begin
Reality spills ugly truths
But I know when it comes to you
That it all means something
And my curiosity
Got the best of me
Made me promise
Something I couldn't
But you never held up your end
Don't look at me like your endless
Unless you're willing to take it that far

Three Minutes of Honesty
02:31
|
|||
|
Commitment
Because it's all I've got left
Ignore the rage that's all consuming
And with a quiet heart
I'll keep going
Silent
On and on
Without stopping
Keep going
Seething
Passionate crime
Waste all my time
For the sake of losing myself in
Three minutes of honesty
And honestly
Well honestly
You can push me
In fact I'll guide your hands to vital systems
Push back into you
If it means what I wish it did
Oh, committed
Because to play a solid part
It's guided and I understand
The black and white to start
And with a quiet heart
But you're passionless
And I'm aimless
Do nothin' days stay the same
You'll never find what you seek
You turned dark down where it thunders
With what we have now how can life compare
To speak up now would fall on deaf ears where they come
The only way to stay sane
Bite my tongue
Until it bleeds because the words will come undone
Destroy everything
Bite my tongue

Rat Race
02:48
|
|||
|
Necessity of now
To spend every waking moment
Running for another's dream
All for a necessity
That is the very last thing you need
Rat race to get more
It's the only thing that matters
Rat race to get more
It's the only thing that matters
Now we gotta buy
And buy and buy
Because what good is a home
Without the latest mind numbing device
Forget about your friends
The only one you need is in your pocket
Rat race to get more
It’s the only thing that matters
Rat race to get more
It’s the only thing that matters
Capture a moment where it feels paid off
The debt to yourself for spending your life
Giving yourself up, and losing more of your voice
Join the rat race because it feels like a choice
Capture an object to feel something
In between bowing for money
Give everything just to get by
Join the rat race, because it feels like a choice

On the Run
03:15
|

|
The colors surrounding
Went a few shades darker
Rise up to look at my hands
I am transparent
The train whistle howls
And I know it's all over for me
My heart ripped in two as I look over at you
See you hanging by a thread
Well that was a lie
Yeah we already died
When I see your hollow eyes
On the run
Invisible to all except
The ones with ill intent
Struggle to fly or sink
Feel you through the air
I told you to follow me
Through every party light
But my body is too transparent for you
I look behind you're gone
On the run
Let’s go hide
In the cracks
Where the ghosts
Lose our tracks
Don’t step out
I’ll save you
Just let me
I beg you
Lost you once
Not again
This is our
Only chance
Don’t blow it
Blow cover
Or we’ll die
Once more
