The Memorial 03:21
lyrics
buy track
I've been so angry Wish I could be happy It's all part of it It's all part of it Now I'm realizing What it means to me It's all part of it It's all part of it Cut me out, Let me go You're the one in control Stare me down, funeral Start the memorial I've been so angry Wishing you were part of me It's all in the test It's all part of it Now I've tried me best to live my life The way one says it should be right But I'm still here I'm still here Cut me out, Let me go You're the one in control Stare me down, funeral Start the memorial Take it back, Slam the door Push me down to the floor What are we waiting for? Start the memorial Start the memorial We've been guessing Wasting time On everything unhuman We've been tasting Sour lines On everything

Ambulance 04:46
lyrics

I'm so trapped away Can't escape the pain Stare my face right in the mirror of all humanity Life's my enemy Can't stand it to see All these idiots, they're in control of you and me Now we find it out Maybe scream and shout Load the weapon and pull the trigger then Slice your wrist to feel All the pain it's real Take a breath again In a dream I had Seems a little sad Tried to tell you how to get through all the problems that Made me come undone Not sure where I'm from Can't be focused on the places I can only run Now we find it out Maybe scream and shout Load the weapon and pull the trigger then Slice your wrist to feel All the pain it's real Take a breath again Something's killing me An emergency Someone call an ambulance Suck up the blood in front of me All this time it takes Makes me want to hate Someone call an ambulance Suck up the blood, it's making me sick Stop the misery It's hypocrisy Still I'm focused on the things you said, the lies to me Wrap my hands around Fragile neck, the sound Feel the crack beneath your spine as your life crashes to the ground Now we find it out Maybe scream and shout Load the weapon and pull the trigger then Slice your wrist to feel All the pain it's real Take a breath again Something's killing me An emergency Someone call an ambulance Suck up the blood in front of me All this time it takes Makes me want to hate Someone call an ambulance Suck up the blood, it's making me sick Making me sick Making me sick Making me sick Something's killing me Something's killing me Something's killing me Something's killing me Something's killing me An emergency Someone call an ambulance Suck up the blood in front of me All this time it takes Makes me want to hate Someone call an ambulance Suck up the blood, it's making me sick Making me sick Making me sick Making me sick Sick Making me sick

Whether it's a lie, I don't know Whether it's the truth, I don't know Whether it's his stare he's lying through Whether I can say I'm on to you I've fallen, I'll get myself back up I've fallen, I'll get I'll get myself back up We're maniacs We're maniacs Whether you can hide, don't hide from me Whether you're full of hypocrisy Whether you think I'm a threat to you Know that I'll make your face turn blue I've fallen, I'll get myself back up I've fallen, I'll get I'll get myself back up We're maniacs We're maniacs I see you I see you I see you I see you I've fallen, I'll get myself back up I've fallen, I'll get I'll get myself back up We're maniacs We're maniacs We're maniacs We're maniacs

In Disguise 03:44
lyrics

A sick mind, in disguise Theoretical compromise Well they saw, but not to care Then realize, one's aware Well we captured them, but time mixed up the seasons Many lives failed to see the last Well we captured them, but not the daunting reasons From the mind of a psychopath Twisted circle, quiet time No time to spare, 'cause you could die They made it hard for us to hear you So work to get it out, it could be you too Well we captured them, but time mixed up the seasons Many lives failed to see the last Well we captured them, but not the daunting reasons From the mind of a psychopath Well we take by Rain or shine Counteract It's in disguise Well we take by Rain or shine Counteract It's in disguise Well we captured them, but time mixed up the seasons Many lives failed to see the last Well we captured them, but not the daunting reasons From the mind of a psychopath Well we captured them, but time mixed up the seasons Many lives failed to see the last Well we captured them, but not the daunting reasons From the mind of a psychopath

Hello Stranger 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Well it doesn't matter now that it's passed But it still hurt us We still have each other, let's hope that can last I'm losing faith in it We can make it, but there's work you need to do Nothing comes from failing, now that won't get you through And if we make it, we'll be grateful ain't that true Then we'll know that failing, it has no place for you For you I feel like I don't know you, perhaps we just met Well hello stranger And are you all in with hands and feet inside the cockpit? 'cause We can make it, but there's work you need to do Nothing comes from failing, now that won't get you through And if we make it, we'll be grateful ain't that true Then we'll know that failing, it has no place for you For you And everyone says give up, you're no good Sometimes hard to ignore it, I should I gotta push myself harder than I would want to And now the pressure, pushing inside I feel the release With lighter touch and with softer voice Now ready I can speak to tell you We can make it, but there's work you need to do Nothing comes from failing, now that won't get you through And if we make it, we'll be grateful ain't that true Then we'll know that failing, it has no place for you It has no place for you It has no place for you

Andrew's Song 04:26
lyrics

I haven't been the best with words Now it's hard to speak my mind And the best time is the wrong time I gotta tell you what I think Even though it's hard to speak But I can't find the best line Breathing in I feel the pressure I know I can't just say whatever But I still try for the best time Every time we cross the line Further, coming And I admit I told a lie Now I'm sorry Stop playing with yourself You made a mistake too Now I can't tell you how to move Stop crying and stop listening this way I'm sorry that it had to be like this I just can't say Breathing in I feel the pressure I know I can't just say whatever But I still try for the best time Every time we cross the line Further, coming And I admit I told a lie Now I'm sorry Breathing in I feel the pressure I know I can't just say whatever But I still try for the best time Every time we cross the line Further, coming And I admit I told a lie Now I'm sorry

Bite Me 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Look at my eyes when I say hey I'm not entirely insane You have to think outside the box You're just a body on the rocks Sometimes you acknowledge me Then you don't care Sometimes you think you're fancy With what you wear Bite me As I walk away Bite me Nothing more to say Stare at my toes and lead the way What's wrong pretty lady won't you stay I had a different thought I never knew I'm better on my own and without you I'll catch my breath and be there You're indecisive You'll take liquid chemicals I have provided Bite me As I walk away Bite me Nothing more to say Sometimes you acknowledge me Then you don't care Sometimes you think you're fancy With what you wear Bite me As I walk away Bite me Nothing more to say Bite me As I walk away Bite me Nothing more to say
