Safety
03:23
|

|
The sick sad sensation of your liberation caught in between two deaths.
Where your love was buried still connotates scary, because it still manages breath.
I've never seen a working man who's as greedy for love as I can be that I'd use my own name in vain.
Maybe that's why I never got far, maybe that's why I never shot for the stars, but I'd shoot the love in my veins.
Mess up love for sake of messing up
I'll push and shove until I get just enough of
What I want I've got an addiction so put your guns on safety 'cause some of you might hate me.
And I'm ashamed to sing this chorus
And I know you feel the same
You scream why do you ignore us
And I'll claim that you're to blame
I'm the sickest of sick, the trickiest of the tricks
My life is vapid or rapid I don't know I can't pick
I'm a moth burning in fire intact but still tired
Do you even know the ravens I've acquired
I'll mess up love

Sanctuary
02:49
|
|||
|
I'll feed my monsters to the screen
I'll give my shame up to the strings
If that is what it takes to keep on living
I'll drop my chains upon the floor
I'll leave them right outside the door
If that's what it takes to keep on giving
In my sanctuary the only time when I am fine and I don't have to bleed or pay out in my wellness where I don't have to resist
I won't drown inside this town where everybody stays pissed
And I never get to breathe, the minute that I catch my breath I always have to leave
The best that I can hope for is that when there's a closed door, I can be the king for a moment but then I have to be poor
In my sanctuary, where what might not just could be
Impervious to tainting, my chapel is a painting
An art, a high, a muse that gets me by
The plain and simple truth is it's what's real
The rest's a lie
And I never wanna leave, I've made my mind that making art is all I can conceive
The people try and talk but I can't seem to hear
Love this, hate that, it's ringing in my ears but
In my sanctuary, where what might not just could be

Home
03:28
|

|
Why am I afraid of being alone if all I ever wanted was to feel at home
Letting days pass is work on its own
It's all just a way to feel at home
I want to get out of this town
I need to stick around
Every little piece of mind has collected over time
I wait and find something that's good I always put it out of line
I made this world romantically and live apologetically
I can't even trust my own two feet to take me where I need to be
Why am I afraid of being alone if all I ever wanted was to feel at home
Letting days pass is work on its own
It's all just a way to feel at home
Months will pass without words said, it's like we think each other dead
If I push past these thoughts in my head I won't have to think of these loves I've lead
I need to get out and explore, I want to close the door
Once I'm in I don't need out and that takes care of my self doubt
But when I'm inefficient that's when trouble starts to come about
I made this world romantically and live apologetically
I can't even trust my own two eyes to see what needs to be

Instincts
03:13
|
|||
|
Dreaming things like this, it's dangerous
Catch feelings so quick, but I can't quit
Deep inside I'm disaster inclined, but I can't stop tripping on this
My ideas are tearing me apart, but I guess that is how I live
Instincts, it's what comes first, for better or for worse
Instincts, the chemicals derive from the need to stay alive
I can't see the seed, I see the skin
Too scared to embrace adrenaline
Somewhere I'm trying to stand a chance against the world and romance
Programmed to behave a certain way and not get caught inside the waves
Instincts, it's what comes first, for better or for worse
Instincts, the chemicals derive from the need to stay alive
Impulse running through my veins
Just to keep this world sustained
Call it peace of heritage, it is an innate trait vestige
Instincts, it's what comes first, for better or for worse
Instincts, the chemicals derive from the need to stay alive

Mica In A Chair
03:16
|

|
I see the ground, and you see the sky
Let's cross paths and stay a night, so grab my hand and hold on tight
You have my soul, wherever you go
Love is gleaming from your face and takes me to a better place
Can you find her
Can you find her
Can you find her
(I like puppies and kisses and you with puppies)
Love ain't in the air, she's sitting over there
She cares for a lost daydream; love just runs through her bloodstream
Mica in a chair, she's playing with her hair
Keeps me safe when I'm afraid, she takes off my masquerade
I don't mind it when you are a little bit ardent 'cause I know you care
You don't hide it; I can tell exactly how you feel even when words aren't there
Can you find her
Can you find her
Can you find her
Love ain't in the air, she's sitting over there
She cares for a lost daydream; love just runs through her bloodstream
Mica in a chair, she's playing with her hair
Keeps me safe when I'm afraid, she takes off my masquerade
Love is in the air, no one can compare
So sweet it's unfair, Mica in a chair

I always seem to find the worst place to be around when it's late
Sitting in a car with a group of hoodlums
Or standing in a crowd that moves in a drunk stupor, eyes dilate
They take in the afterglow of the world's asylum
'Cause we're running around just to see what the bets are saying
They always say that this is a dangerous game we're playing
I would have never touched a gun
I would have never tried to run
But the world is saying games are fun you probably want more
And I hate the way I sound when my mind is not around
And the world is trying to get me lower than I've been before
This is a little town that can't seem to keep a beat evil streets
Teaching little kids that there aren't solutions
To fill their human fix that doesn't fix anything, anchoring truths inside their heads they sink in absolution
'Cause we're running around just to see what the bets are saying
They always say that this is a dangerous game we're playing
I would have never touched a gun
I would have never tried to run
But the world is saying games are fun you probably want more
And I hate the way I sound when my mind is not around
And the world is trying to get me lower than I've been before
This is a dangerous game we play
The things that I love cause me to decay
Just as the sun starts to fade away
I feel my senses yearn to betray
They yearn to betray me
This is a dangerous game we play

Names & Numbers
04:23
|

|
You wake me from my repose when you walk oh everybody knows
What you want is not hard to explain you just want to be entertained
You go where the money goes
You know what the money knows
You're caught in names and numbers watch me go down under
I've had my share of feelings, you've had your share of dealings
Between the names and numbers you've got you pick of demons
Cash
Brand names
Spend
Money
You're in another dance holding hands with another man
It's only been a couple days, I don't understand
You're the one that came to me in what seemed to be a last ditch frenzy
I gave you a second chance not knowing what you'd been doing
You go where the money goes
You know what the money knows
You're caught in names and numbers watch me go down under
I've had my share of feelings, you've had your share of dealings
Between the names and numbers you've got you pick of demons
Cash
Brand names
Spend
Money

Empires
03:14
|

|
Here's some heart, some heart to part with
Hear our hearts, they beat apart so
Here's some heart, some heart to part with
Hear our hearts, they beat apart so
We would sit at the graves and take in some smoke not knowing they were ours we invested our hope
We were arcane varlets that served Mr. Thisb but now we're in the ground because we tried to live
What's new has fallen into blessed ruins
Built in love makeshift empires just to watch them burn in fire
Memories still linger in me of how tragic love can be when friends expire
We were kings but we were tired
We would crash our cars, we'd know no laws
We'd bank on making it with ghost withdrawals
We never saw between the lines we just saw what was on our minds
The walls we built are frail and falling, I think I hear gods' voices calling
What's new has fallen into blessed ruins
Built in love makeshift empires just to watch them burn in fire
Memories still linger in me of how tragic love can be when friends expire
We were kings but we were tired
We'll build these empires just to watch them burn in fire
Burn it

Why Are You Scared?

When I am at the glass with poison in my reach
I never think about the way I feel internally
With the things that I keep deep down inside
I consume enough to throw it up dead or alive
I'll have another sip and see a friend I miss
And I feel like I am the one who ends relationships
I know I've had enough and into bed I climb
I've learned my lesson once again the same as last time
Bitter bites and party lights
Things get dark when we're at night
I can't seem to hold my outbursts
So hear my thoughts they're all unrehearsed
I always think I've found a cure for being shy
And it works but I've got faces like a gemini
And it's all good fun and everything is fine
But it all just goes away when I am clear of mind
I don't think I can hold up like this
When all my pleasure is a wisp
Every time that I close my eyes I wish I could go back in time
Lay on the floor with enough regret so maybe when I wake up I will not forget about the time when I raise my glass to a never-ending party where I'd never last, never last
Bitter bites and party lights
Things get dark when we're at night
I can't seem to hold my outbursts
So hear my thoughts they're all unrehearsed
It's getting sad in here
Why are you scared?

Enlightened Villains
03:44
|
|||
|
Find monsters in the mirror
Feel rogue thoughts come nearer
See depravity take your mind
Condone all of this it is fine
See the end coming faster
You have become the bastard
Watch you take the lives of your friends
Find you've become the villain
Take hope like you have took shots
Leave dissonance in their thoughts
Place valuelessness in words
Make heresy become blurred
See the end coming faster
You have become the bastard
Watch you take the lives of your friends
Find you've become the villain

I Won't Forget
03:59
|

|
Oh I feel the bird around my neck dragging coarsely by my legs
My world constrained by ball and chain, the venom might be detox but the hate still lingers retained
Maybe God left me the burden, or maybe he's not real at all
But I've found the plague of stagnation and never forget it won't end when I fall
What's a body to the head if the mind inside is dead
What's a light at the end of the tunnel when I'd rather rest instead
What's a system to the masses when the shrapnel leaves its traces inside broken gears and dried up tears of middle classes
Maybe God left me the burden, or maybe he's not real at all
But I've found the plague of stagnation and never forget it won't end when I fall
I can't afford to be living, so maybe I won't live at all
Exist in stagnation, hide in reputation and make sure my shadows stay small
Maybe God left me the burden, or maybe he's not real at all
But I've found the plague of stagnation and never forget it won't end when I fall
Things will be fine in the morning, I'll wake up and it's all alright
But I fear that time will progress and when there's nothing left all I can see is night
