The Truth in the Mix
with tears streaming down my face
I tell myself to forget you
but your always right here
on the tip of my tongue
I'm always ready to call your name
even though i know you won't
run into my arms anymore
I tell myself to forget you
but your always right here
on the tip of my tongue
I'm always ready to call your name
even though i know you won't
run into my arms anymore

No Key
At the edges of my recollection, the distant promise
That continues for eternity sways silently.
Destroy the Transient World
That is drenched in sadness.
Changing out my despair for loneliness, I raised it with love,
All alone,
Until the day I met you.
Come to this place,
And let us overlap our hearts.
I will take out your thorns.
I play to the future that has crumbled to ruin.
Pick up your yell,
And let us share a kiss.
The little bird that was betrayed by love
Continued to wander, searching for a birdcage. ...

Ended Then
Life loses its glow sometimes
Oh, it makes it harder to show
Real souls instead of shells
Evolving into what we now know
Lingering beauty in their eyes
Eliminating the truth from lies
Intersecting with collisions
Humanity ended then
Oh, it makes it harder to show
Real souls instead of shells
Evolving into what we now know
Lingering beauty in their eyes
Eliminating the truth from lies
Intersecting with collisions
Humanity ended then

But When I Do
I smile because
I want to be home
I laugh because
I love someone
I grin because
The phone rings
I giggle because
I love my life
I don't have any of this
but one day, I will
and when I do
I will smile from within
I want to be home
I laugh because
I love someone
I grin because
The phone rings
I giggle because
I love my life
I don't have any of this
but one day, I will
and when I do
I will smile from within

Change
outside the darkness stalks
into the gloomy rays of light
sleepy in the shadows
are the lost memories
too bold to stand down
too frighten to come out
lying in wait
for something to change
hoping to not stay the same
stay helpless lost thinkers
into the gloomy rays of light
sleepy in the shadows
are the lost memories
too bold to stand down
too frighten to come out
lying in wait
for something to change
hoping to not stay the same
stay helpless lost thinkers

Objective
fly the distance
take the stance
love the theory
remember the story
forget the face
take your place
cutt the vine
fake the fine
polish your smile
make it worth while
objective in mind
dead on the inside
take the stance
love the theory
remember the story
forget the face
take your place
cutt the vine
fake the fine
polish your smile
make it worth while
objective in mind
dead on the inside

Who? Me? Me Who?
Inside of me you grow
Becoming more than me
Then you start to show
And I'm suddenly less of me
You take over eating me alive
Devouring from within
On my misery you thrive
If I stop to take a breathe, you'll win
Do I have any chance to survive
Soon I am to drown
You sink me deeper into the sea
I can't find words or make a sound
Am I still me?
The flounder pull me out
As I search for a life preserve
The silent words I meant to shout
"is this what I deserve?"
With so little time I have not long to doubt...

The Pirincess Lays in Wait
The princess called out
Thinking that without a doubt
Her prince would come
He'd save you at last
While the dragon roared
The princess made her pitiful plead
Trough her tears she bleeds
Waiting for her prince to come
But he never does
She sits inside her castle
Calling for help
But no one comes
Things weren't going as planned
Or like the fairy tales
So why should she
She will save herself
She climbs down the.castle
She slays the dragon
That never saw it coming
SHE got out, she saved herself
...

Loving You
Waiting in the cold
Trying to take hold
Of the frozen love
From the angels above
With the beating wind
I commit my sin
Continuing to regress
Straining to stress
Straining to emphasize
The beauty in your eyes
That it's never too late
So I continue to state
That I will forever love you
But You don't love me too
Trying to take hold
Of the frozen love
From the angels above
With the beating wind
I commit my sin
Continuing to regress
Straining to stress
Straining to emphasize
The beauty in your eyes
That it's never too late
So I continue to state
That I will forever love you
But You don't love me too

To Achieve Happiness
burn it to the ground
never make another sound
bottle the emotions
follow the motions
never forget
don't ever regret
ignore the suffocation
hide the devastation
stand small
don't think to call
be weak
look meak
be never wrong
hide the strong
forget your place
keep face
never scream out
chase no doubt
never protest
continue to regress
control the addiction
escape crucifixion
run from the rain
hide your pain
hide your agony
forget you're...

Sheep
tightly try me down
forget I'm even here
I won't make a sound
pretending to be air
Another skipping stone
Igniting the frozen surface
Revenge is so very sweet
Alike to the bone and blood
Instantly flowing out
Relinquishing the to floor black
A chosen one walks alleys
Inspiring the crooks to
Ripping apart his flesh
A city sleeps peacefully
Innocent to the wolves
Ridding the farmers of sheep
my presence thin as air
forget I'm even here
I won't make a sound
pretending to be air
Another skipping stone
Igniting the frozen surface
Revenge is so very sweet
Alike to the bone and blood
Instantly flowing out
Relinquishing the to floor black
A chosen one walks alleys
Inspiring the crooks to
Ripping apart his flesh
A city sleeps peacefully
Innocent to the wolves
Ridding the farmers of sheep
my presence thin as air

Darkness From Within
scrape away the scabs of memory
all that will ever remain with you
get the jist of the passing times
that has so easily left you behind
time passes by pretending nothing
hiding deepening thoughts away
a mask of lies, so hard to breathe
continuing to suffocate everyone
listening to the quiet screams
calling from beneath the metal heart
an eaden that's only a cage of lies
nevermore have the tides changed
the tables turn slowly, getting bored
slowly starting an invisible war
breathe with...
