Fight Before the World Falls
I've got a fake sense of establishment,
I'm running in circles to fight a disease,
that hasn't even taken over me.
So here I sit, cursing my government,
They're taking my mind,
Leaving only stress behind.
I've got words on my tongue tonight.
But with a mouth clamped tight,
I'll learn I'm never right.
Nothing is as is really seems,
Eyes lie - and so do mothers.
Trust is not for any other.
But who? Who deserves to be the one?
A trophy for anyone?
Just as long as they listen?
But I'm not speaking tonight....

Surely I Caused My Own Problems
I'm a thin line between failure and a person.
I've learned tonight,
To keep this mouth shut tight.
Shhh. They don't want to hear.
Shhh. They don't want to listen.
Swallow that fear,
That he'll speak to you,
That he'll touch you,
That you'll say no,
But it happens anyway.
It seems tonight,
My enemy is invisible,
And I don't know how to fight.
Someone tell me why,
This has happened to me.
Why can I no longer see,
All the colors that you see?
Something just isn't right.
But tonight I hold my tongue....

Die to Save You
I'm not here to save you
I'm not here to change your mind
I'm not here to hold you down
Or leave you half-alive
I came here to wake you
To open up your mind
Go on just close your eyes
Save your life
Do I gotta die to save you?
I'm not here to change your mind
I'm not here to hold you down
Or leave you half-alive
I came here to wake you
To open up your mind
Go on just close your eyes
Save your life
Do I gotta die to save you?

Siege
Call it a gambling addiction because I’m gambling with your freedom.
But I’m calling to that place I found in you, an absolute Eden.
Maybe I’m falling into ruin, thinking a thousand things, awful things.
I’m still imagining those things we talked about, the skin to skin to skins.
Do you still have them? Those rings?
I have yours, and every moment I’m alone I feel the need to sin.
To murder the man that is keeping you hostage from me.
Why won’t he let our love just be?
I’m addicted to the way that you brought me joy and a smile.
I don’t, I’m...

Her Absence is Ruining Me.
I'm a victim of a man I don't even know, he took my happiness from me.
He didn't violate me, he didn't abuse me, he just stole her from me.
He's told her he knows what she should feel. He's told her she is insignificant.
He's told her that she isn't what she thinks she it.
He controls her. He manipulates her.
She is crumbling beneath the power he is wielding.
She has said goodbye. She has said goodbye again.
Last time I didn't listen. This time I fear she won't reply.
She was my world. She put the stars in my sky. She hung the moon just right.
He...

Sovereign
Fumbling in ignorance
Give voice to my destruction
Measured in years and decades
I am the end of everything
The pinnacle of evolution and existence
Extinction is inevitable
Confidence born of ignorance
Apex of my glory
Imposed order on chaos
We are each a nation
Free and independent
We have no beginning
We have no end
We are infinite
Are my words as empty as my future?
Do not mire in pointless revolt
We will not be destroyed
Give voice to my destruction
Measured in years and decades
I am the end of everything
The pinnacle of evolution and existence
Extinction is inevitable
Confidence born of ignorance
Apex of my glory
Imposed order on chaos
We are each a nation
Free and independent
We have no beginning
We have no end
We are infinite
Are my words as empty as my future?
Do not mire in pointless revolt
We will not be destroyed

May I Cry for People that Never Existed?
For once, I'm alone in my head.
God give me back my friends!
Their voices aren't chasing me,
They're leaving me be.
I'm not used to peace,
It's not hugging me warm like fleece.
Like I always thought it would.
This is a situation that should
Not exist in my mind.
I've left my loved ones behind.
God give me back my friends!
Their voices aren't chasing me,
They're leaving me be.
I'm not used to peace,
It's not hugging me warm like fleece.
Like I always thought it would.
This is a situation that should
Not exist in my mind.
I've left my loved ones behind.

Dragons to Fight
Life's a story they say
We're characters to play
Well let me tell you
There's side characters too
We can't all be protagonists
And lonely antagonists
The heroine is pretty
The traitor tricky
The hero is dashing
The villain ever clashing
But there's friends
And those that meet an untimely end
So who will fill those positions
And meet the story's conditions
I'll tell you now
Before the credits roll and we take a bow
There's no clear line between wrong and right
There's certainly no dragons to fight
...

You're a Typewriter.
I have a thousand things to say, and I've said them time and time again.
I always thought I'd die before I'm old, but because of you, I might think twice.
But if I've said I'd live for you, for nothing in return.
I'm sorry, sir or madam gullible, it seems lying's all I've learned.
Breathe with me, before this world tumbles to our feet.
Hold on tight.
It feels like I'm rushing, saying things wrong.
My fingers are not made for a typewriter, and I'm afraid that's what your brain is.
Do we speak the same language? ...

But a Moment
You've stolen my air catcher
And I'm not sure I want it back
I won't fall in love with falling
I'm sure I won't take this back
My word is my soul now
And I don't believe
In talking just to breathe
Face value might not mean much
Not right now
But I'm getting there
So hold on
And breathe with me for but a moment
And I'm not sure I want it back
I won't fall in love with falling
I'm sure I won't take this back
My word is my soul now
And I don't believe
In talking just to breathe
Face value might not mean much
Not right now
But I'm getting there
So hold on
And breathe with me for but a moment

Madness
I feel a little bit of everything,
And something in between.
I'm a small thing,
Trapped within a dream.
Maybe you'll swallow easy,
If I tell you it's all a story.
Truth is simple to hide behind happy.
What have I become? I'm sorry.
And something in between.
I'm a small thing,
Trapped within a dream.
Maybe you'll swallow easy,
If I tell you it's all a story.
Truth is simple to hide behind happy.
What have I become? I'm sorry.
