Someone

Ever so elusive love, you're in search of
So close but yet so far, and you can't find it
Still believe all the while, it's right round the corner
Every tomorrows filled with sorrow oh, but you can't find it
There's someone for everyone, just not you
Close your eyes and walk through life, convinced you're alive
Pretend you're anything but lonely, believe your lies
Even the unlukiest one's have their sunny moments
Littel flowers grow in sand and stone, but yours aren't blooming
There's someone for everyone, just not you
Well you look for love, it shies away
Further and further, every day
Disillusioned, giving up
Feeling hopeless without love
There's someone for everyone, just not you

Like Mercury
03:50
|
|||
|
I don't want to return once I'm already there
There's cause for concern when you're feeling impaired
If I choke on my pride will you slap my back
But if you knew that I lied don't mistake this for that
Still confused just like me
You rise and fall like mercury
If I seem out of tune would you tighten my strings
You'll see the reckoning soon maybe here in the Spring
If I needed a friend you could stand me up
But you do it again you'll see I don't give a f*ck .... about it
It's a day away but you won't wait
It's within your grasp but if you have to ask .... for it

Cornerstone
03:53
|
|||
|
Don't take it hard
Tomorrow may get better
Well maybe not
She'd take you if you let her know
But if you let her go
Don't let the rain
wash away your well earned tears
I've felt more pain
Then the world has known in a million years
My cornerstone has crumbled to the ground again
My cornerstone has left me down again
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Well you and me fell apart like a paper rose
Where did it go

Four Letters
03:00
|
|||
|
Darkness falls and I’m angry again
My self-control has come to an end
Again, walking empty streets
Another victim of my fatal disease
Say it’s the last one but I can’t believe
I’m through …. Tell me what to do
Trust me, I love you
Four letters spell your doom
Trust me I’ll come round
Four letters takes you down
Why was I chose, why was I picked to lose
Take off your clothes I’ve got something for you
Oh please, share my misery
Unlovely dark I’ve sealed with a kiss
Share with me the viral bitterness
Welcome to the end

Supernatural
03:08
|
|||
|
Can’t find my way, oh oh oh
I need some questions answered soon
Am I just talking to myself
I need some questions answered soon, like where are you
Make me supernatural
I need to find the saving grace
I’m disillusioned and I broke my leg on a leap of faith
Am I abandoned here
What can I do but whisper this
I beg you Mary for forgiveness
And another kiss
No more pain, oh oh oh
I need relief I need it soon
With all the lies I can’t discern
I only want to know the truth, like where are you now

Souls In Pawn
04:44
|
|||
|
I knew you were leaving, the sun set behind you, Said another day goodbye
Why why didn’t you believe me, I was telling you the truth my love
Tell another day goodbye
Say hello to Jesus and my friends, Some day my heart will have to mend
After this my faith has come and gone, Seems like I’ve put my soul in pawn
You made the world a better place, the Lord works in very strange ways, guess he needed you more
True he could’ve taken someone else, but you were already an angel
Guess he needed you more
Say hello to Jesus and my friends, Some day my heart will have to mend
After this my faith has come and gone, Seems like I’ve put my soul in pawn
I won’t forget you when you’re gone, I’m sorry that I waited for so long
I loved you then and I love you now, I look for you up in the clouds
I know that everything will all work out, ‘cause you told me so….

Laugh Academy
03:50
|
|||
|
My inner peace is too far out of reach again
I can't be the golden boy I used to be
It's at my feet, I'll take the tiger by the tail
I may succeed if I could leave my padded cell
What to do, I'm a bit confused, It's not easy being me
Because every day I'm someone else in the laugh academy
I just want to be myself
My inner light is getting way too bright again
I can't see and now I'm blindly wandering
I hear the voices telling me there no escape
I'd make the choice if I could just take off the cape
What to do I'm a bit confused
Inside my own institution, I can't find a solution
Feeling rather stark, acting quite the fool
I am the most peculiar molecule

Somebody Else
04:35
|
|||
|
What's left behind I can no longer find
I don't know who I am, I'm barely half a man
Drenched in sorrow now, I need to find out how
I need to find out how to live with all my shame
To not accept the blame
Why be yourself when you can be somebody else
Did you ever know me Did you outgrow me
I simply couldn't change and you couldn't stay the same
I'll own up to being in love with you
I'll give you anything to be your everything
I'm not the man I used to be
You took away the very heart of me
Wishing I could be but it's all make believe
I'll go on living lies, you won't apologize
Etched into my mind the words you left behind
You need to be set free, you said goodbye to me

My Neverwill
04:41
|
|||
|
Life without you would exist but I don't think I can live like this
To wake the mornings to an empty bed with empty thoughts and an empty head
We could try again if you think we could the efforts worth its weight in gold
I've made my bed
But I can't lie in it
I've had my cake and ate it too
Forgive me like you've done a thousand times
This times the last time yeah I swear
I wait for you to rescue me but you're not there
My never will
My foundations built on lies but now it's seen the wrecking crew
The answers never came with grace and all my stories you sw through
Faithfulls a word I've never known but faithlessness has left me all alone
I've made my bed
But I can't lie in it
I've had my cake and ate it too
Forgive me like you've done a thousand times
This times the last time yeah I swear
I wait for you to rescue me but you're not there
My never will
My never will

Fire Of Love
03:53
|
|||
|
Kiss away the cobwebs from my mouth
See the way my heart begs for you know
Fathomless and boundless love
I can't seem to get enough
Hunger craving, wind blowing in my soul
Be my one and only, never leave me lonely
The fire of love has turned me out
The fire of love has burned me out
Praise the hallowed dirty beneath your feet
Starving for that thing like a dog in heat
Comatosed from thinking of, overdosed from your love
Never mind the pain, I want you now
Be the thorn in my side, strip away my pride

Life Without A Net
04:02
|
|||
|
Taught but I can't teach
All so close within your reach now
Feel it slip away
Life is the hardest thing
Try try wondering why
You let it get this way
If I could I surely would, make sure that you understood
Please allow me to explain, the sentiment called love
Will keep you sane
Alone like everyone else
So sad, all by yourself now
Then you wonder why
Break like a porcelain doll
To the edge and then you fall down
Better learn to fly
This is your last wake up call
Godspeed can't be achieved when you crawl
Breaking down in like copping out
So take my hand and walk with me
I'll show you what life is all about

Discarded
02:52
|
|||
|
I’ve eaten bitterness and found
Found I didn’t like the taste, It didn’t quite agree
She chewed me up and spit me out,
nothing left but bones and grief
She robbed me like a thief
Safe to say I’ve been outsmarted
Swept away, I’ve been discarded
I should have seen I was outclassed
She drew me in and kicked my ass
She threw me in the ditch
She found I was an easy mark
Devoured me like a hungry shark
Cold hearted bitch
You can say I’ve been mistreated
Left in shame utterly defeated

Love And Pain
03:02
|
|||
|
I always give up just before, a miracle takes place
I could’ve gave it a little more, but I have lost the faith
How can something that hurts so bad, feel so good
I couldn’t take any more of that, but how I wish I could
Love and pain are both the same
And everyone I know …. Want’s some
Love and Pain
You search your life away in vain, barely out of reach
You think you’re ready for the strain, but you’re far too weak
Well it’s all-consuming now, you’ve become obsessed
Soon you’ll be finding out, you’ll be put to the test
Oh it’s like watching an accident take place
Eventually you find, you we’re seconds from the same
Up the hill we climb, just to fall down on our ass
Great failures all take time, but time is something that we lack
