I Can Give You The Sea 02:57
lyrics
buy track
You had a butterfly Trapped in a jar Tapped on the glass And then laughed when it fled Left it out in the sun Found it dried up and withered Found beauty in death As its wings held their glimmer I wish you could see The way that you look When you look at the sea The way that you're looking at me See, I made a promise to keep I can give you the sea

Alone 04:06
lyrics

Tonight before I sleep Motivation will leave me Through my plain white ceiling Drift into nothing I close my eyes Hoping it's forever. Keep me away from dawn Please keep me here Yet time seems to shake me From dreams into nightmares I'll open my eyes Hoping it's all over When daylight breaks I'll to take a minute before I wake To contemplate if today was worth the wait I'm constantly Watching me Going through The motions of insanity With eyes sewn shut And ears that bleed My shattered teeth won't let me speak With eyes sewn shut I can finally see Tonight before I sleep Motivation will leave me Through my plain white ceiling Drift into nothing I close my eyes Hoping it's forever. Keep me away from dawn Please keep me here Yet time seems to shake me From dreams into nightmares I'll open my eyes Hoping it's all over False promises will bring you home And false promises of leaving home False promises of leaving home Will lead me on to to keep sharpening those knives I'll hold my head low and see This shade of red never looked so good on me Tonight before I sleep Motivation will leave me Through my plain white ceiling Drift into nothing I close my eyes Hoping it's forever. Keep me away from dawn Please keep me here Yet time seems to shake me From dreams into nightmares I'll open my eyes Hoping it's all over

Sprawl 03:35
lyrics

I want to wake up to a better day But sleep is easy, it's easy All the demons under my bed They kept crawling on to the walls And crawling into my head Kill the lights and kill all life I'm always fighting a sun that's always shining Save the weather for a day that I am truly happy I'm always fighting a sun that's never shining Kill the lights, kill all life, and I'm happy I just want to drown on a rainy day To ease the pain this is an easy way Pour your spit down my throat and pray to God that I don't float I'm a better man than I've ever been But it's hard to shed the old skin I'm a better man This is me Coming undone I'm withering I'm always fighting a sun that's always shining Save the weather for a day that i am truly happy I'm always fighting a sun that's never shining Kill the lights, kill all life, and I'm happy

Unattainable 03:34
lyrics

Sent here for me, or so it seems A gift from a ghost Unattainable I know I care, but caring seems selfish Let's watch the world burn It's our turn Just sit by my side I'll watch this world eat you alive Forbidden fruit, the one I see but can't touch The thought of you thrashes my insides like a tidal wave threatening to swallow us whole Swallow us whole Sent here for me, or so it seems A gift from a ghost Unattainable I know I care, but caring seems selfish Let's watch the world burn It's our turn It's our turn Just sit by my side It's our turn Sent here for me, or so it seems A gift from a ghost Unattainable I know I care, but caring seems selfish Let's watch the world burn It's our turn Find out I'm what you're looking for

Candles 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I'm rotting away some say I've been up for days Manipulate, can't you tell I'm excited? Oh god this excites me It's all the same, It's all the same I'm bored and lame, it's such a shame It's all the same , it's all the same Baby I'd kill for change, it's all in vain I'm slipping away from his grace Can you see it? Can you see it? The earth forgot about my shadow. This sense of hollowness I cannot swallow. Does anyone think god forgot about me? Forgot about me. It's all the same, it's all the same I'm bored and lame, it's such a shame It's all the same, it's all the same Baby I'd kill for change, it's all in vain It's all the same

I'm spitting out your words and their bitter taste Steal the smile right off your face Now I cut ties and fade away I won't call out your name You come crawling like a centipede And I'll snap each leg for all the times You put some hope in me Blurred I'm blotting out your face inside my head Blurred Yours will fail you time and time again I'm reborn in a haze My mind stumbles and hesitates It's been hard to finally shake The sense of hell you put in me Blurred I'm blotting out your face inside my head Blurred Yours will fail you time and time again Blurred I crossed you out of all the dreams I kept Blurred You breathed in all the passion from my breath
