Maybe I'll believe in us

Born Again
05:14
|
|||
|
Where'd you go before you left me?
Holding on to foreign tongues
Fall away
Distant lives as silver bodies
Will never know which songs were sung
Fall away
Of all the endings
Of all the eyes
Who am I to be so bold?
Fall away
Far from righteous
Forgotten life
I'll be born again
Holding on to something evil
Screaming walls will kill us all
Fall away
When did I become so feeble?
Watching time climb up so tall
Fall away
Of all the endings
Of all the eyes
Who am I to be so bold?
Fall away
Far from righteous
Forgotten life
I'll be born again
Waiting for the day
I'll be something more
I was once just flesh and bone
I am born again
I will fall away
You will not remember

In Waves
05:41
|
|||
|
I hold my own
My sight goes out
The sinking I feel subsides
It stays in my mouth
I dig a hole
To build you up
The wrenching I feel is real
It sits in my gut
I drown it out
It comes in waves
I touch your hand
Your fingers clench
The hate that I feel is real
It weighs on my chest
I float alone
To drag you out
All that I fear is here
It's pulling me down to drown
It's pulling me down to drown
It's pulling me down
I watch it wane
I watch it grow
It's in the air
It comes and goes
It comes and goes

Bleed For You
04:29
|
|||
|
Made a war in my head again
This is all there has ever been
I don't belong
I never wanted to bleed for you
My whole world in your hands again
This is all there has ever been
I don't belong
I never wanted to bleed for you
I held you off
I never wanted to bleed for you
I don't know why
I can't live without the fight
I want you to know
I don't know why
I can't live without the fight
I want to let go

Stay Awake
05:08
|
|||
|
Empty mind
Where do I hide today?
I go blind
Looking for life to save
My head burns
The ground, it shakes
I numb myself
To stay awake
Take me back
Recover faith
Broken boy
Laid to waste
Nothing is lost
Nothing is found
Undermined
By false marks I tried to bear
Opened wide
For both you and I to share
My head burns
The ground, it shakes
I numb myself
To stay awake
Take me back
Recover faith
Broken boy
Laid to waste
I will leave here
Fractured fully
Straining under
The mass that held me
I will leave you
Please don't worry
Resting under
The way you held me

My Only Crow
02:59
|
|||
|
My only crow
Take all you can from me
My heart exposed
Take all you can from me
My shame is shown
Take all you can from me
My only crow
Take all you can from me

A Part/Apart
04:38
|
|||
|
Changing tides
I release the weight I'm holding
Quiet rite
I breathe the brand new cold in
Those old lines that are keeping me awake
Are really never far away
Wasting the light
Shattered ice
I shed the skin I was born in
Glaring eyes
I rest upon the ceiling
Those old lines that are keeping me awake
Are really never far away
Those old lines that are keeping me awake
Make me shudder
Make me sway
You don't want to be a part of this
You don't want to be a part of this
You don't want to be a part of this
I just want want to feel apart from this

Erased
06:30
|
|||
|
I left the comfort of my enemy
To find a place that I could stand
I know the night still lies ahead of me
I hope the night is still my friend
I dreamt of basking in a victory
And tore apart when I awoke
I know that you were always meant for me
I hope that you don't let me go
My face
Is erased
By you
Your cries
Disguised
As new
Collapsing into you
This edge is not the end
Misplace and waste it all
Misplace and waste it all
This hurting and undoing
Of everything I protected
Use and lose it all
Use and lose it all
My face
Is erased
By you
Your cries
Disguised
As new

This Isn't Me
05:21
|
|||
|
I'm cold all the time
Pretending to be here
Pretending to die
My body will linger as I expire
A flaw in design
Descending in cycles
Descending in fire
My body is nothing as I retire
This isn't me you see
Just barely alive
Defending the sidewalk
Defending the sky
My body is numb now as I stand by
This isn't me you see
I hate this
I hate this
and I’m sorry
I’m sorry
That I hate this
I hate this
and I'm sorry
I'm sorry
That I hate this

Clean
07:12
|
|||
|
It might take a while
To get myself clean
I can't see the black cloud
Rising above me
Obscure and discarded
When I feel diseased
Dirtied and hardened
By what's underneath me
The end of times
All by myself
I want to be
Somebody else
You know I tried
To glow like you
A purer form
I thought I knew
I want to be clean
