Let Go

Are you ready to move?
Tonight is another escape, another promise to forget
another chance at something great, don't let it slip away
cause we're all searching for something, and I know that we can find it here
in this perfect moment, for a time it's all made clear
hold back nothing
cry if you need to cry
you've been looking for something more
and you've found it tonight
let go
let go
we're all looking for something to fill the hole in our heart
I finally know where to start (Where to start)
(hold back nothing
cry if you need to cry
you've been looking for something more
and you've found it tonight)
I know that you're like me
we're so tired of trying for nothing
but there's no point in hiding your feelings
I can see, what you need to
let go
let go
we're all looking for something to fill the hole in our heart
I finally know where to start (Where to start)
We made a promise, and goddamn if I won't make you keep it
I knew you'd lie to hide what you've kept inside, all this time
*Let go, Let go*
let go (we made a promise, we made a promise)
let go (and goddamn if I won't make you keep it)
we're all looking for something to fill the hole in our heart
I finally know where to start (where to start)
Here we are again, at the end, where you broke your promise
I called you a friend, and I hate that I had to live to regret it
This is the same goddamn story I always tell, I always have to tell
I brought you here and I watched the light in your eyes die when you lied

My Nightmare
04:00
|
|||
|
Love is a certain kind of misery
When it seems like you're lost again
The truth isn't always what you want it to be
Some things have to...
End
Again
End again
I find my... Truth
another dream of you
I'm so tired but I
can't sleep without
Seeing your face
There's no escape
I'll never get away
I'll never get away
I'm losing sight
I'm lost inside
So fucking tired
I refuse to sleep
Time
To break the lie
I'll be inside
Waiting, dreaming of...
The ghost of you that I keep for mine
A memory of a better time
I changed on, you stayed the same on
Blamed everything on me
There's no escape, there's no escape
I'll never get away, away...
I'll never...
I'll never fucking get away, away
(The memories haunting me)
Away, away
(How do I make the torment cease?)
Away, away
(How do I stop you taunting me?)
Away, away
(How do I make you fucking leave?)
LEAVE ME

Bury Yourself
05:27

If the glass shoe fits,
I guess you must be the winter bitch
(I've heard those stories,
those webs you weave)
those beads of sweat that drip,
I watch them roll from your brow to your lips
(I've heard your stories
those webs you left for me)
I'll watch you
I'll watch you
I'll watch you
I'll watch you
bury yourself
in this tower of lies you built
(I'm calling you out
for everyone you've given hell)
There's nothing to say
I watched every promise break
(I'll set my heart ablaze
I know it'll keep you away)
chipping at the frozen stony core, you left when this love turned into war
(and all is fair, but none are as fair as you)
Sweet seduction, so lusciously red
forbidden fruit hanging lowly above your bed
(I know the taste of poison but even so I'm tempted toward you)
I know your empty words mean nothing, but I'd rather not leave them unheard
(I'd force a bite of the apple, just to dream of a sleep in your arms)
I would if I could ever break the glacier surrounding your heart
I'll watch you
bury yourself
in this tower of lies you built
(I'm calling you out
for everyone you've given hell)
There's nothing to say
I watched every promise break
(I'll set my heart ablaze
I know it'll keep you away)
If the glass shoe fits...
I guess you must be the winter bitch
I'll watch you
bury yourself
in this tower of lies you built
(I'm calling you out
for everyone you've given hell)
There's nothing to say
I watched every promise break
(I'll set my heart ablaze
I know it'll keep you away)
Bury yourself
In this tower of lies you built
(I'm calling you out
for everyone you've given hell)
There's nowhere to hide
now that i've exposed who you are inside
(without all your lies
I wonder who will stay by your side?)
Bury yourself

Farewell
04:03

Please listen to me, I know...
You're afraid of what follows.
You're still missing the point,
The metaphor isn't exactly spot on,
But when you're gone,
There's nothing left to stop on,
And I'm always wrong,
But I can't admit it, cause I'm small
Fuck it all before I blow up,
Ticking time bomb
But on the surface I'm calm,
Never one to cause alarm
Or draw attention to emotions I never rely on
I'm a robot, logically I'll answer it all
This mental wall isn't to protect me,
It's for y'all.
Please listen to me, I know...
You're afraid of what follows.
I am the ocean, you are the sky,
there's so much left unsaid between you and I.
And I'm a monster for every lie I spit in your face
For every frigid moment, I relive them, never escape
The hate that I hold in my heart, I can't relate
To anything, I'm a fake waiting for that final day
But what's the point in waiting for the end?
There's nothing I can do to stop it coming
I only hope I'm remembered for something
When our story comes to its closing.
(Still waters run deep.
It takes a lot to get to me.)
And I'm sick of second guessing
Myself every step of the way
I am a frozen ocean
You are a burning sky
Please listen to me, I know...
You're afraid of what follows.
I am the ocean, you are the sky,
there's so much left unsaid between you and I.

Burn, Pt. III
04:45
|
|||
|
Open your eyes and let's watch the tale
let's hear the sounds made when words fail
deprive devotion and feel the burn
this life of luxury you didn't earn
and so you're doing everything they say
committing these atrocities in their name
is this really what you want me to be?
there's nothing you can say to make me believe.
and now you're gone again, I regret I called you a friend
and now I'm lost again, when will this story end?
They'll keep you hidden, in their hive mind
every decision made to keep you blind
are you with me, or on their side?
their poison words were just a matter of time
and so you're doing everything they say
committing these atrocities in their name
is this really what you want me to be?
there's nothing you can do to make me believe.
and now you hide your face, I see you've not forgotten shame
Was I hard to replace? Do you remember my name?
and so you're doing everything they say
committing these atrocities in their name
is this really what you want me to be?
there's nothing you can do to make me believe.
And so I'm doing everything you say
Committing these atrocities in your name
Is this really all you wanted from me?
I can't believe it took so long for me to see.
And now you run away, I'm glad I got my point across.
There's nothing left to say, I think it's time I cut you off.
...
I was the first to watch you burn,
I gave up everything to ensure you'll get what you deserve
for everyone you've hurt, for every life you've made worse
I'll put an end to the curse, I was the first to watch you burn
I gave up everything to ensure, you'll get what you deserve.

Never Mine
04:10
|

|
I can't let you know, that I'm struggling to let you go
I'd never show something so emotional
I'm on the brink, of something what, I don't know
the clock's ticking, any second now I might explode
I'm uncomfortable with the notion that I'm exposing a nerve
I feel like I deserve the burn I'm assured, earned the hurt
Only me to blame, and I'm ashamed of the decisions I've made
I'd take back that night so I could reset the pace
but you were never mine
we both told ourselves so many goddamn lies
but you were never mine
you'd always choose what's comfortable over what feels right
You were never mine
we both told ourselves so many goddamn lies
but you were never mine
it's never me reflected back when i look into your eyes
You were never mine...
You were never mine
Honesty honestly never was the policy
cause truth be told, the truth feels like a prison to me,
and this cage is getting to me, just listen to me,
you're afraid of change, and I'm afraid to leave
but fear isn't the only force here, it's clear to me
you're dear to me, but sincerely, I'm the type that clings til I bleed
and you're the kind of sweet that stings
I'd have given anything
but you were never mine
we both told ourselves so many goddamn lies
but you were never mine
you'd always choose what's comfortable over what feels right
You were never mine
we both told ourselves so many goddamn lies
you were never mine
it's never me reflected back when i look into your eyes

I Miss You

I saw your face today
Whispered have you been okay
I guess I'm still breathing
I cling so desperately
To all my memories
sometimes I can't believe it
we sold each other out
we let each other down
but I still see you
I still need you
we'd laugh so hard we'd cry
your lips they felt so right
why did I leave you?
Why did I leave you?
now that you're just a ghost
can't you leave me alone?
I'm afraid to sleep in case I...
don't want to dream of you
because waking is so cruel
I'll lay awake here
I'll be okay
we sold each other out
we let each other down
but I still see you
I still need you
we'd laugh so hard we'd cry
your lips they felt so right
why did I leave you?
Why did I leave you?
(I saw your face today)

I'd ask you to hold me
If it were so easy
Begging for that simplicity
There's no other way to say I'm sorry
I'd ask you to leave me
If it makes you happy
But that's not what you're doing
I don't think we're at the end of our story
But what do I know?
What could I know?
When being lost is as close as I can get
To wandering with you
I'm angry at nothing
Clinging to something
I can't feel back
There's no escape from your rage
Or stories that I spin
I haven't decided to let you in
You closed the distance
You'd ask me to hate you
But it's much too late to
It's easier to lie
If it keeps you alright
I'm sure I'll heal with time
I'm sure I...
I've been here before
The Calm and the Storm
but I'm weary of this War
and I don't wanna die by the Sword
I'm angry at nothing
Holding to something I can't feel back
There's no escape from your rage
Or stories that I spin
I haven't decided to let you in
You closed the distance
And there's no way to change our fate
And show you what we could be
I don't wanna let you in...
Because my heart is a prison.
