Barely Alive
05:12

I hold myself still and shape into something I cannot conceive
sit and stay still, grieving for something that was never real
I can’t recognize my own self
all I see is that I’m ashamed
Do I feel fine? Never mind
Barely alive - I don’t mind
I am so alone and craving for something, but I won’t feel anything
Locked away in my own shame
All I see is that I’m to blame
Do I feel fine? Never mind
Barely alive
Sit and smile, lose your mind
Half alive - I don’t mind

Bugs

Think you’ve got brighter ideas?
Got your head stuck in those big words you use
Like they have a meaning
but your poetry is senseless
It bugs me
Think you’ve got it all right? Think you’ve got it all right?
Everyone’s been saying that you made it all up
If you’re anything at all, you’re a parasite
It bugs me
Think you’re such a blessing to us all
Let me tell you one thing, just sit down for a minute
Crawl out your fucking hole! You’re just a bug
All your words are empty
All your love is void
All your eyes deceiving
All my wounds are sore
I don’t care, I don’t care if you think it’s dumb
I don’t care, I don’t care if you think it’s stupid
I don’t care, I don’t care
Think you’re more to me than a fucking bug?
Think you’re such a blessing to us all
Let me tell you one thing, just sit down for a minute
Crawl out your fucking hole! You’re just a bug
All your words are empty
All your love is void
All your eyes deceiving
All my wounds are sore

Under Another Sky
04:13
|
|||
|
Saw a face in the clouds
fabricated smile, dark grey under the eyes
Saw her cry grey drops of mist
think I saw her soul leave when it couldn’t resist
Think she once belonged to you
Oh, she once…
You dried the oceans inside her mind
you put away the fire in her eyes
All along she thought she was wrong
but the seasons come and go all the time
they keep changing all the time
Think she once belonged to you
Did she ever?
Think she once belonged to me
Do I really?
It came to me like an angry wave
It lives in me like a parasite
it suffocates like it just wants to die
but I could never belong under another sky

High Tides
06:04
|
|||
|
Dragged by the waves of sand
towards the sea, by the shore I now stand
pulled down by the currents of time
into a sea so vast it could never be mine
(I keep waiting for the tides to stay still)
I can’t keep letting time drift away from me
Lay me down under blue skies
just like the sea, one day I’ll rise
Let me drown in the high tides
so I can let my soul untie
drawn by the waves of light
towards the sun, I am now ignited
seasons will drift and return
and the currents of time won’t cease to turn
I keep waiting for the sea to rise
and turn my sorrow into ice
Lay me down under blue skies
just like the sea, one day I’ll rise
Let me drown in the high tides
so I can let my soul untie
How can I return to shore
if the water keeps rising so far above?
How can I keep moving forward
if the sea keeps getting all stirred and blurred?
There’s no time to borrow
There’s no time left for tomorrow
Lay me down under blue skies
just like the sea, one day I’ll rise
Let me drown in the high tides
so I can let my soul untie

Grains of Sand
05:30

I keep waiting for these days to pass by
but it doesn't seem like it’s ever gonna come
you say it’s only grains of sand
I wait it out but my mind still feels so dry
my mother said that these seeds are bound to die
if i don't make it in time
Is it you that’s holding me back?
taking all there is and leaving me to dry
Is it you that’s getting in my head?
taking everything and leaving me for dead
I don’t want to keep it low
I can’t let it dry anymore
you say it’s only grains of sand
just a burden in my hand
You didn’t shoot to kill this time
but you've wounded me enough to fool my mind
You got inside and turned it around
buried my thoughts so they wouldn't be found
I don’t want to keep it low
I can’t let it dry anymore
you say it’s only grains of sand
just a burden in my hand
[SPOKEN:]
I’ve been underestimated, I’ve been fed lies. I’ve been told I'm worth nothing and I’ve been driven mad. I’ve been told to wait, I’ve been told to go now. All this time I've been empty,
I didn't know how it feels like to be anything but numb.
I keep waiting for these days to pass by
but it doesn't seem like it’s ever gonna come
you say it’s only grains of sand
I wait it out but my mind still feels so dry
my mother said that these seeds are bound to die, if i don't make it
I don’t want to keep it low
I can’t let it dry anymore
you say it’s only grains of sand
just a burden in my hand

Bleed (Bring Me Down)
04:22
|
|||
|
The lights are out
The candles all burned out
if I could just hold on this time…
I wouldn't have to make up anymore lies
I’m not trying to tell you anything
but I have to let you know
I bleed and let it bring me down
I still believe there’s something around
I bleed and let it take me down
I still have this really bad feeling,
but it won’t come down.
I’m always last
to get the joke, I’m never right
I kill my time, I steal a smile
Try to get it right this time
I bleed and let it bring me down
I still believe there’s something around
I bleed and let it take me down
I still have this really bad feeling,
but it won’t come down.
Down! [x4]
I bleed and let it bring me down
I still believe there’s something around
I bleed and let it take me down
I still have this really bad feeling,
but it won’t come down.
