1.Cutthroat Collapse
Time runs out
Those words seemed so sincere
And it's been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown
I can still hear the trees
At my back and haunting me
Unafraid, unaffected
This has all gone so wrong
Under this December sky
I walked away compromised
Counting steps, of what's left
To bring this all to an end
Outside you will find the ring
That once belonged to me
Sharing space with her face
Pictures on the drivers seat
Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time
You think this all is a game
It's not a game to me
So now we will both kill the messenger
With such a blur, you didn't even see
This meant everything to me
Invisible plans you made deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you but disappearing
If it's grey then just leave it
Ssome colors start bleeding
So guard yourself
That's what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets
Claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden
To shield yourself from the blame
Outside you will find the ring
That once belonged to me
Sharing space with her face
Pictures on the drivers seat
Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time
You think this all is a game
It's not a game to me
Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can't make me believe
Invisible plans you made deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you but disappearing
Those words seemed so sincere
But in this shallow sea I drown
You want to run and hide
To catch your breath
But why don't you come inside
And capture all that's left
Capture all that's left
This can't be happening
Oh but this is happening
I don't want to wait for this
A ruined list, the longing kiss
Making all the moments last
As if we had the sentiment
2.Curbside Goodbye
You've buried me here and
I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking
You've hidden the keys to sleep
The sweet careful lines we've crossed
And now we never can go back
This is what I felt just being myself
But I know that you wouldn't stay
Standing at my car with my reasons spent
As you drove and made your escape
The silence crushing me like I swore it would
And I'm left watching red lights fading out
I refuse to accept these excuses you're making
As you drive back to your house
To save yourself from taking blame
The only reason that you came at all
(I'm here sinking and now we never can go back)
I chose every word that I knew would hurt
But that was a poor choice at best
This weak disguise, your careless replies
That you made at my expense
You swore this was right
It was better that you're leaving
But I'm here with red lights fading out
I refuse to accept these excuses you're making
As you drive back to your house
To save yourself from taking blame
The only reason that you came at all
And I'm here with my curbside goodbye
This sting in my eyes
Won't leave me tonight as I stay awake
To watch the day start without you
I'm here sinking, now we can never go back
My foundation crippled and cracked
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Two people dissolve into words
Red lights fading out
As you drive back to your house
The way I've gone a hundred times before
But now I'm left behind
To make all of this make sense
And now your voice is haunting me
Just out of reach, it buries me
Is this the better off that you meant？
The way I've gone a hundred times before
But now I'm left behind
To make all of this make sense
And now your voice is haunting me
Just out of reach, it buries me
It buries me, it buries me
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
3.Inside Our Skin
This is what comes of the best intentions we have
They get lost with the rest and soon forgotten
And the money we spend is to make amends
For the time that we've never given
We all feel real inside our skin
With selfish hearts that hide our sin
But everyone that runs a race can't win
We all feel real inside our skin
If God is good, then what are we？
There is no plant without a seed
When morning comes, will we believe？
All that was lost can be retrieved
You say you're good, then let me see
A faith is dead without the deed
How can we fail, if we believe？
Let's be who we were meant to be
We all feel real inside our skin
With selfish hearts that hide our sin
But no one really knows our deepest secrets
We will separate ourselves
From everyone that we know
We can't allow a single doubt
Or weakness to show
Just one more day without the shame
And I can move on
I'll be happier, happier when I've...
(We say, we're so misunderstood
But I know we don't do the things we should
So long to what I thought I was)
I'll be happier, happier when I've given up
Wisdom light my way into the dark
Your words, the melody that carries me
We can't make a change til we know who we are
What burns？ The fire refining me
4.Churches And Serial Killers
There is a part of me that
Always sees the easy way out
If it doesn't hurt then not another word
You keep the reasons all but hidden
It feels like we will drown
So why hold on when it's so far gone？
Camera recalls all the footsteps
In the halls with our loose lips
Chemicals in the bloodstream
Start the surgery, take care not to hurt me
Send the signal
(So we rise, so we fall, and we fall)
Send the signal
(So we rise, so we fall, and we fall)
There is a part of me that
Always sees the easy way out
If it doesn't hurt then not another word
(Is this the way we were then take me back inside)
You keep the reasons all but hidden
It feels like we will drown
So why hold on when it's so far gone？
(Is this the way we were then take me back inside)
Muscle, skin, blood and bone
Loose the voice, she rejoices if I'd only known
Beauty takes more than anything
But I can't stop what's inside of me
Send the signal
(So we rise, so we fall, and we fall)
Send the signal
(So we rise, so we fall, and we fall)
There is a part of me that
Always sees the easy way out
If it doesn't hurt then not another word
(Is this the way we were then take me back inside)
You keep the reasons all but hidden
It feels like we will drown
So why hold on when it's so far gone？
(Is this the way we were then take me back inside)
Is there a chance
Just a chance that you need me？
Or are we better off thinking
That in this dance, the romance is a secret
But I'm not quite sure I believe yet
With my eyes, with my words
So we rise and fall
Catch me, I'm slipping through
So we rise and fall
Catch me, I'm slipping through
So we rise and fall
Catch me, I'm slipping through your fingers
5.Butcher's Mouth
I've got a way of finding out what you said
But I want to hear it from the butcher's mouth
I've got a way of freaking out all your friends
When I'm talking out loud
But it ends me when
I can tell that I've become
The person I can't take and I hate
A person so much like you
I've got a way...
Your jealous eyes with reckless pride
Feasting on the wealth
I've got a way...
This little click, brick by brick
Has turned upon itself
You're a broken record
Repeating these vanities
Over and over again
You find your words and make them work for you
And trust me, people will drink them in
The absence of a witness, no one to see this
Hid your affection for self-obsession and greed
But it's now back to your, back to your knees
I've got a way...
Your jealous eyes with reckless pride
Feasting on the wealth
I've got a way...
This little click, brick by brick
Has turned upon itself
You're a broken record
Repeating these vanities
Over and over again
The same old story
Throw yourself a pity party
Pulling each and every heartstring
We brought you here, we brought you here
And no one will come to your face
Let's break that smile right off your face
Taking the time to save the place
Where names are of no use
And ridiculous answers will find their sleep
And you will find your sleep too
I've got a way...
You're a broken record
Repeating these vanities
Over and over again
6.In Shallow Seas We Sail
I've got eyes in the back of my head and I see
where you're going with this.
I'm not surprised.
You take me for a fool and maybe you're right.
If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here tonight.
You sold yourself,
you'll never learn and here I am watching the (summer fading)
summer we shared fade away with the winter.
Your hands were warm on my face,
now they're cold and pushing away (slowly away)
they are colder than ice and they are slowly pushing me away.
I knew it right from the start.
I've got this big, big hole in my heart.
I wanted to put you in,
but for some reason you just wouldn't fit.
Ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails,
but if the wind fails, is there hope for me？
I thought your love was as safe as the promise you made.
(I guess your love was only as safe as the promise you made)
(Now I am drowning in your shallow sea,
I swear, you are the waves that toss me away.
How can I float above the water that fills my lungs,
killing me softly without a word.)
You are the storm,
the wind and the waves that break me in two and toss me away.
I fell apart when I fell for you.
You are the water filling my lungs, killing me softly without a
word.
7.The Poor And The Prant
I've got to put a stop to all this,
to all this being separated and then cut off
I've got to put a stop to all this
Separate then fall
We could floatover the world
and decide for ourselves if
we will ever return
If only our dreams were fires to ignite,
then we could let the whole world burn
You said this was over when you suffocate
the truth and trade for nothing
(Save us, the kisses and the distances are clinging to my
weaknesses)
Somebody help me here cause I can't steer the wrong words away
(I've seen this, tasted, a killer to my worries and then caught
me without my defense)
....
8.The Smile The Face
I was never going to fall
(I was never going to fall)
But the smile and face have sealed my fate
(The smile, the face)
So sweet, an addict of it all
(I was an addict of it all)
I was blind for another taste
I have nothing left to give,
the veins are dry, you have drained me dry
The world has turned black and cold
And I can't catch my breath
You rehearsed your lines with rhythmic details
They match the pounding in my chest
The summer came and you left me with your words
The clever sounds from your mouth
That can make me feel so worthless
And you say that I am not enough
But though my heart is breaking open
Know that I will not be broken
The person you claimed to be,
is not who haunts me now
The careless lies, behind those brown eyes
That you swore were true more times than I can count
The summer came and you left me with your words
The clever sounds from your mouth
That can make me feel so worthless
And you say that I am not enough
But though my heart is breaking open
Know that I will not be broken
I know these words are weak and young
Spoken as I come undone
But while I drown in these mistakes
Your ego swells, but I can tell
You know that you're a fake.
(You cried in front of your friends)
Just to save some face
(You didn't want it to end)
In just a week I'm replaced
(You wouldn't listen, listen to me)
But can you hear me now
(You're just a sickness and the cancer)
the cancer is your filthy mouth
9.A Sin To Hold On To
Emery - A Sin To Hold On To
When I saw you walking by,
I could not believe my eyes.
Underneath the city lights,
reflecting all your curves just right.
Can I have your attention for a moment？
I just need to say something.
If you've got the time,
then I've got the reason for the sin.
If you've got the time,
then I've got the reason for the sin.
Have you been looking out？
Have you been watching my back？
My patience is running out and I
can't seem to stay on the right track.
Your wanting eyes keep me coming back
for more and more each time.
Let's get this right,
cause there is no second chance after tonight.
I know you've got it in you,
won't you let it out (let it out)？
Dig a little deeper and I know you'll find strength inside.
If we could be the ones to hold on (to stay strong),
then maybe we can make a difference in somebody's life (in
somebody).
I won't be part of the riot.
I won't be part of the revolution.
You think you're keeping us quiet.
We're not the problem,
but we are the solution.
I won't be part of the riot.
I won't be part of the revolution.
You think you're keeping us quiet.
We're not the problem,
but we are the solution.
Let's get this right,
cause there are no second chances.
I know you've got it in you,
won't you let it out (let it out)？
Dig a little deeper and I know you'll find strength inside.

10.Piggy Bank Lies
All these answers for the words that you omitted
You omit them still
Never thought I would find out
But we're here now
I'm aching for this, aching for it
You said you'd never been with anyone else
But you lied as you tried to say somehow that I was the one to
blame
Is this the way you've found for saving yourself
If lies were wealth, you'd need help
Counting riches from your mouth's piggy bank
I drove these streets to your front door
So could you please just help me out？
It's sad to say but there's always more
And you just stare like you can't hear a sound
Hide the suspects
This is where you say it's not what it looks like
He's got his hands wrapped around your waist
Well I want this; do you want it？
I hate this, but you flaunt it
It sounds absurd so I waited to for my own eyes
To put a face on the person that built these lies
Do you want this, cause I want it
Could have fooled me, cause I bought it
You have been found out
I told myself it was the jealousy that caught my distrust
But I'm such a good pretender I surrendered my doubts
Of all the liars number one is where you made your debut
But I'll teach you the truth because I've figured you out
I've finally figured you out
I should have been careful, instead of faithful
This is where you say it's not what it looks like
He's got his hands wrapped around your waist
Well I want this; do you want it？
I hate this, but you flaunt it
It sounds absurd so I waited to for my own eyes
To put a face on the person that built these lies
Do you want this, cause I want it
Could have fooled me, cause I bought it
Trying to forget and wishing we never met
I should have been careful; I thought I was unbreakable
But sometimes you find that you cannot control your heart
Or regain the person that you were from the start
11.Edge Of The World
I know your face
I know your smile and how it plays
Into the minds of those who
Cling to every word you say
This isn't how I wanted to
Remember me and you
Your eyes are talking but
Your lips are standing still..
Open your mouth tell me
How I'm supposed to feel？
My finger pointing's just a warning
So I suggest you..
Say you're wrong
Let's get this over I
Would like to get some sleep tonight
Let's get this over, I'd like to get some sleep tonight
You make it hard for me to leave
So very hard for me to leave
By now the lies you told are weighing on your chest
If I provide the rope I know you'll do the rest..
But I will not be an accessory
No I'm not who you think
And I will never be your enemy
So don't insult me
Say you're wrong
This could be easier
If I was over her
Say you're wrong
Let's get this over I
I know she's just a girl
But shes got me standing on the edge
I'm on the edge of the world
(My eyes are open for the first time)
(This place not yours it's in my own eyes)
I am not a man who lives a life of soldiers
I am not the kind of man who walks away
I am not a man who lives a life of soldiers
I am not the kind of man who walks away
I will stand up face to face or toe to toe with anyone
Yes anyone..
Everything you said about me was the truth but
I just don't think that I can look at you the same
You're like a splinter that will never show its head to anyone
To anyone..
Now I know that I was not the man you wanted
You know I loved you and I wanted to make you proud
My intentions were to never give myself to anyone
Look what I've done
(Just look at what I've done)
My intentions were to never give myself to anyone
Look what I've done
12.Dear Death Part 1
Just hear me out this was all my fault
Now you've brought me death and it's everything I wanted
It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out
It's the wrong inside that fills my mouth
Has left me without
In this darkness I've given my ground
But know this night will be mine
Esta Noche Sera Mia
13.Dear Death Part 2
