World is Ending
I’m tired of all the hate and violence
This world has suffered long enough
I’m tired of all the lies and silence
Have we forgotten how to love?
Why does it seem like the world is ending?
What will it take for us to start mending?
I’m tired of politics dividing us,
Leading us away from what’s real
I’m sick of the bullshit they’re feeding us,
Leaving us all too numb to feel
Why does it seem like the world is ending?
What will it take for us to start mending?
Where is the light that keeps us...
This world has suffered long enough
I’m tired of all the lies and silence
Have we forgotten how to love?
Why does it seem like the world is ending?
What will it take for us to start mending?
I’m tired of politics dividing us,
Leading us away from what’s real
I’m sick of the bullshit they’re feeding us,
Leaving us all too numb to feel
Why does it seem like the world is ending?
What will it take for us to start mending?
Where is the light that keeps us...

Incision
I appreciate your honesty
but that is not what bothers me
Your split second decisions
Leave me with these incisions
I can tell you something
that will leave you guessing...
-Pour the salt on the wound and hear me scream in agony
Pour the salt on the wound and watch me lose my dignity
Pour the salt on the wound and see me die instantly
Pour the salt on the wound and let me be- (Chorus)
You depreciate from apathy
And still I give you empathy
Despite your alarming intentions
I am left in...
but that is not what bothers me
Your split second decisions
Leave me with these incisions
I can tell you something
that will leave you guessing...
-Pour the salt on the wound and hear me scream in agony
Pour the salt on the wound and watch me lose my dignity
Pour the salt on the wound and see me die instantly
Pour the salt on the wound and let me be- (Chorus)
You depreciate from apathy
And still I give you empathy
Despite your alarming intentions
I am left in...

Take Me Away
Anxiously waiting
I want to see you
Anticipating
I need to feel you
the warmth of your skin
wrapped all around me
the love from within
shining so brightly
You take me away from everything
erasing all of the pain from me
you make me believe in one thing
because you mean everything to me
(Chorus)
I think about you
the pain goes away
I imagine you
with me every day
-Chorus-
Anxiously waiting
for you to see me
Anticipating ...
I want to see you
Anticipating
I need to feel you
the warmth of your skin
wrapped all around me
the love from within
shining so brightly
You take me away from everything
erasing all of the pain from me
you make me believe in one thing
because you mean everything to me
(Chorus)
I think about you
the pain goes away
I imagine you
with me every day
-Chorus-
Anxiously waiting
for you to see me
Anticipating ...

Cure (for Tambra)
You've told me you've been stepped on,
bruised and awfully beaten on,
and you say that you're moving on
but I know that something's wrong
Dont you wish that all the pain would leave you without harm?
Your wishes will come true if you jump into my arms.
So here I come to take away all the pain
inside, left over from every single day
Dont be afraid to let me cure all of your wounds
stitched inside you, you know I will save you
(Chorus)
You come to me for a reason
to empty out all your burdens ...
bruised and awfully beaten on,
and you say that you're moving on
but I know that something's wrong
Dont you wish that all the pain would leave you without harm?
Your wishes will come true if you jump into my arms.
So here I come to take away all the pain
inside, left over from every single day
Dont be afraid to let me cure all of your wounds
stitched inside you, you know I will save you
(Chorus)
You come to me for a reason
to empty out all your burdens ...

No Way Out
You want to put yourself to the test
You better watch your back,
Watch yourself
And you want to drink yourself to death
You’re going to pay for it,
So pace yourself
-It’s going to be a race to the finish line
You know it’s going to be one hell of a ride
And know it’s not going to end well for you this time
Just know there’s no way to get out of this lie- {Chorus}
You want to put yourself through the stress
You better shed your skin,
Reveal yourself
And you want to save yourself from this
You need to...
You better watch your back,
Watch yourself
And you want to drink yourself to death
You’re going to pay for it,
So pace yourself
-It’s going to be a race to the finish line
You know it’s going to be one hell of a ride
And know it’s not going to end well for you this time
Just know there’s no way to get out of this lie- {Chorus}
You want to put yourself through the stress
You better shed your skin,
Reveal yourself
And you want to save yourself from this
You need to...

Would You
If I suddenly went away
would you miss me more than before?
Would you still visit me each day?
Would it become a daily chore?
If I wasn't here this very moment
I would not want you to cry
If you feel like you can't take the torment
The least you could do is try
(Chorus)
If someone took me away
would you hang on to our last kiss?
Would everything begin to fade?
Would you think that's how I'd want this?
-Chorus-
If I wasn't here today
I'd only have...
would you miss me more than before?
Would you still visit me each day?
Would it become a daily chore?
If I wasn't here this very moment
I would not want you to cry
If you feel like you can't take the torment
The least you could do is try
(Chorus)
If someone took me away
would you hang on to our last kiss?
Would everything begin to fade?
Would you think that's how I'd want this?

Burning
Regret is what I live with
your guilt is what I'm left with
jaded is how I'm feeling
your face is all I'm seeing
You dont want to make me make you feel the way I do about you everyday,
it's just the same thing over and over again,
like a cycle of never ending torment
Why cant you understand what I'm trying to say...
JUST GET AWAY FROM ME!
This burning inside
is killing my pride
I cant stop all this pain
from reaching my brain
I'm bleeding again
cause my skin is so thin
when all of this ends ...
your guilt is what I'm left with
jaded is how I'm feeling
your face is all I'm seeing
You dont want to make me make you feel the way I do about you everyday,
it's just the same thing over and over again,
like a cycle of never ending torment
Why cant you understand what I'm trying to say...
JUST GET AWAY FROM ME!
This burning inside
is killing my pride
I cant stop all this pain
from reaching my brain
I'm bleeding again
cause my skin is so thin
when all of this ends ...

Heard Enough
You decorate your life in shades of lies
Though it's in black and white you don't have a right
Way to say what you mean to say/ Can't believe you let things get this way
Now we fall apart right from the start/ The lies will disconnect your heart
-For what it's worth
You had me believing every word you said
For what it's worth
I only wish now that through your eyes I was dead
And for what it's worth, I've heard enough- (chorus)
You complicate your life in ways so vague
Though not more wrong that right you don't have the...
Though it's in black and white you don't have a right

Now we fall apart right from the start/ The lies will disconnect your heart

You had me believing every word you said

Away From Here
Waiting for tomorrow
But tomorrow seems so far away
I want to fly, fly away from here – chorus
Wallowing in sorrow
The sorrow seems to grow each day
I want to fly, fly away from here
But I can’t fly until I’ve tried to find my own way out, so until then I’ll be-
Waiting for tomorrow
But tomorrow seems so far away
I want to fly, fly away from here
I want to fly, fly away from here
But tomorrow seems so far away
I want to fly, fly away from here – chorus
Wallowing in sorrow
The sorrow seems to grow each day
I want to fly, fly away from here
But I can’t fly until I’ve tried to find my own way out, so until then I’ll be-
Waiting for tomorrow
But tomorrow seems so far away
I want to fly, fly away from here
I want to fly, fly away from here

Authoritarian
Now that you've played your hand
You think that you're pulling the strings
Think that you're in command
That you've stripped away everything
But I can see through your soulless eyes
And that all the words you say are lies
You don't really care who lives or dies
You just want to watch the world's demise
But you're a coward and you cower to the ones who have all the power
Just so you can live another hour
Now that you've raped the land
You think that makes you fucking king
Just because you demand
That I...
You think that you're pulling the strings
Think that you're in command
That you've stripped away everything
But I can see through your soulless eyes
And that all the words you say are lies
You don't really care who lives or dies
You just want to watch the world's demise
But you're a coward and you cower to the ones who have all the power
Just so you can live another hour
Now that you've raped the land
You think that makes you fucking king

A Storm on the Horizon
Staring at the eye of the storm,
And I’m not scared/ cause I’m with you
I am prepared/ I’ll die for you
Sometimes it feels like the odds are stacked against us, but I know that
Whatever the weather/ we’re in this together
Whatever the weather/ you have me forever
Whatever the weather/ we’ll make it together
Whatever the weather/ we’ll get through what ever
Sometimes it seems like our backs are against the wall, but we know that
Whatever the weather/ we’re in this together
Whatever the weather/...
And I’m not scared/ cause I’m with you
I am prepared/ I’ll die for you
Sometimes it feels like the odds are stacked against us, but I know that
Whatever the weather/ we’re in this together
Whatever the weather/ you have me forever
Whatever the weather/ we’ll make it together
Whatever the weather/ we’ll get through what ever
Sometimes it seems like our backs are against the wall, but we know that
Whatever the weather/ we’re in this together
Whatever the weather/...

Doorway
The memories won't drift away
the times we had will never fade
and I have so much more to say
but certain things get in the way
Disaster's always knocking at my door
She took my life away
She's taken everything
She took my heart away
She's ruined everything
(Chorus 1)
I cant have things that make me smile
and apparently I cant hide
anything that I feel inside
but that's okay I'll find a light
Disaster's always tearing down my door
She tries to heal my pain
but only...
the times we had will never fade
and I have so much more to say
but certain things get in the way
Disaster's always knocking at my door
She took my life away
She's taken everything
She took my heart away
She's ruined everything
(Chorus 1)
I cant have things that make me smile

anything that I feel inside
