Best Friend
03:16

|
The nights we stayed awake
the times you pushed all the hate
the wife, the kids, the life
took one look, stepped away
and you just kept running.
( chorus)
What the hell went wrong again?
why did she go and lose her mind
I thought she was my best friend
What the hell went wrong again
I tried to reach inside
how many faces can you hide
the wife, the kids, the lies
took one look, stepped away
and you just kept running
( chorus)

Somewhere in this madness
The world cannot hold me
Somewhere with a feeling
Taking me back
Somewhere in this life
The world cannot afford me
Somewhere all this passion turned
itself on..again
(pre-chorus)
Cuz I'm amazed
can we go back
back to the way it used to be
back to the way it used to be
Someday you won't see me
t'ill your gone
someday you will hear me
calling out
someday you will heal the person
i am supposed to be
Somewhere in this madness you will say
c'mon can we copy what's been done
somewhere all this passion
turned itself on..again
( pre-chorus)
(chorus)
tell them I'm sorry
tell them i'm sorry
tell them i'm sorry
we ran away

Burn The Sunshine
02:51
|
|||
|
I keep trying to remember, all the things
I don't know
In the early morning I embrace the lie
cuz I'm so out there
and I'm still trying to burn the sunshine
She don't notice when i'm alright
tell me now, I'll go away
I can feel the stranger in me coming on
Cuz I'm so out there
and I'm still trying to burn the sunshine
( chorus)
somewhere I feel the dream, I am free
I can see everything
all the stories i left to give away
I am free, I can see everything.

First Day Of Death
03:56
|
|||
|
There's not much left of me
How far do you wanna go?
Best be getting away until I hit the ground
Take me to the water make me drink until I want to be
More than a carcass that eroded from another face-down
I'll be someone else.
( pre-chorus)
How can it be I've been wasting my time in self-loath
How can it be that my first day of death is so long.
There's nothing left for me
Are you sure that you want to know
Best be showing the face i use to get the crowd
Take me to the brittle edge and push me so that I can see
All the people I deserted for another faith now..
I'll be someone else.
( pre-chorus)
( chorus)
Maybe now I can last through a sunrise
Maybe now I can feel the life I've got
Maybe now I can face the shadows
I awake...I awake.

See Me Now
04:54
|
|||
|
I've been on the wrong side
Trying to challenge honesty
I've been lying face-down
Trying to salvage
All the good I bleed out
( pre-chorus)
Tell me what to say
Tell me who to be
Cuz I got no answers in me for ya
Show me how to live
Tell me how to be
Cuz I got no answers in me for ya
( chorus)
I wonder if you could see me now
Would you let it go
Would you let it go
And I wonder if you could be with me
Would you let it go
Would you let it go
I've been trying so hard
Just to balance my defeat
If your love could save me now
I'll abandon all the cruel
I seek out
( pre-chorus)
( chorus)

Underneath
03:07
|
|||
|
Wasted life, show me something I see
Running out away again.
You won't see,what burns deep into me
Because I live underneath.
(chorus)
You think your going down
Yeah so easily
Your tired of giving up everything
I've been around, traveled overseas
Spent some time on the stage
You can't see, what burns deep into me
Because I live underneath
(chorus)
I won't risk my time
Raging war with me
Do you want to die alone
Wasted life
I can't let it be
I won't let you die alone
(chorus)

Riverbed
03:55
|
|||
|
Will she walk on by
The way she does
Will she turn and smile
Or fly away
Will she get me high
She always does
Will she leave me there, will she leave me there
Down by the riverbed
Down by the riverbed
Will she walk on by
The way she does
Will she even care
Why I am there
Will she get me high
She always does
Will she leave me there
Will she leave me there
Down by the riverbed
Down by the riverbed
Will she plant the seeds in my head
Will she laugh at what I've become
Will she make my mind understand
Then one day just leave me
Down by the riverbed
Down by the riverbed

Traces

Traces of me, find the pain
I can make this harder than it has to be
Bring it on I say bring it on
This time i am not weak
Bring it on I say bring it on
It's what I am waiting for
( pre-chorus)
How will i know not to run away
Again
How will I know just to be myself
And stay
Face what's inside of me right away
While I fade to nothing
Overnight it could change
Bring it on I say bring it on
I need to find me
Bring it on I say
Bring it on
It's what I am waiting for
( pre-chorus)
( chorus)
I'm ready to feel this, blood awake
Before a drop comes out
I'm ready to feel this, blood awake
Before now, now, now
Traces of me find the pain
Bring it on I say bring it on
It's what I am waiting for
( pre-chorus)
( chorus)

Beyond Herself
03:35
|
|||
|
She don't know me better
She don't notice anything
She hides behind the teardrops
Little things make her insane
Say you got all this time
Say you got a open mind to
The words we say
Say you got all this time
Say you got a broken mind
And it drifts so far it drifts so far away
(chorus)
She's got these demons in her head
She makes it look easy
And then I notice what she said
From beyond herself
She don't know me better
She won't even say my name
She hides behind the secrets
Little thing she likes to play
Say you got all this time
Say you got a open mind
To the tradgedy
Say you got all this time
Say you got a broken mind
And it drifts so far it drifts so far away
(chorus)

Destroyed
03:50
|
|||
|
Heard you crying from the room next door
Down deep in your hide-away
It's funny how the sound of tears can break
So softly against this reality
(chorus)
And all the pain evolves.. into this
Language that you will always speak
And all the places you thought...you couldn't
Change the world that you will never see
Cuz you will always be..
Destroyed
Heard you laughing from the room next door
The sickness won't go away
It's funny how the thoughts that make you hurt
Dissolve..into a plea that burns
