Golden Lives 05:38

You ask me what's wrong I tell you what's right We share our stories Of our golden lives When we fell down We said screw the world But we got back up And we slayed the quarrel We threw out our hands In dark crimson clad There's no hope to be had Until we've said Let's look at our friends and way back then We complain so much we are blinded from them Till our memories are gone and nothing fits in So I'll hold onto something till the end of the end So here we are now They said fall down And throw it all up Throw away your stories Of your golden lives And lock up your dreams Yeah lock them up tight But we picked them all up With no vengeful fight We threw out our hands And stood in the stands We cheered till the end And then we sang Let's look at our friends and way back then We complain so much we are blinded from them Till our memories are gone and nothing fits in So I'll hold onto something till the end of the end So here we are now Let's look at our friends and way back then We complain so much we are blinded from them Till our memories are gone and nothing fits in So I'll hold onto something till the end of the end So here we are now So here we are So here we are now So here we are now

Perspective 03:40
lyrics

My fingers can't make music My voice has been misplaced I stumble through staggered movement While structures all degrade But I'll breathe in deep And try to keep A hold onto peace So here I stand Cut me down Kill me again I'll reach out And push to the end Where I'm better than I've been I'm static in mindless moments As time just wastes away I'm working to feel more human But my body won't obey So I'll tell myself It's just for now And wait for my dreams So here I stand Cut me down Kill me again I'll reach out And push to the end Where I'm better than I'll Struggle but won't accept defeat Cause there's so much in store For me To be I'm shrinking in lonely moments That grow longer every day I'm losing what I believe in And I'm so afraid of change But the pain won't hold When I've stripped it off And found the better me So here I stand Cut me down Kill me again I'll breathe out And love who I am Where I'm better than I've been

Being Me 03:13
lyrics

Suck me dry Till all I love Won't give me a single Bit of pleasure Fill my words With non-stop whining I just want the need To accomplish something Show me the way to find myself But don't let me self-sedate Mine my sense Of who I am Create tunnels filling Me with nothing I'm sick of hate But it fills my veins Slit them open As to drain my rage and Teach me to feel by myself But don't let me isolate I need serenity To handle being me Gun me down With each fake person Cock and fire to kill My social standing I live to please So I'm on my knees Worshiping the praise I don't believe in Teach me to feel in the crowd But find a place to hideaway Solitude and you Are ripping me in two Losing all control Crowded all alone Satisfy my need for peace In being me

Bad Poetry 03:16
lyrics
buy track
I told myself I wouldn't write this song Who needs another verse About love at its worst But I can't help so let's come along I can spew all my emotions true and all But the piece has been composed In a mass of better prose Every line we connect and recall No metaphor works To say how much I care I'd erase all the words To leave the chorus bare Simply I just want you here I wouldn't have to write this If you loved me my dear I'm tossing and I'm turning in the notes I want them all gone So I can move on And end this Shakespearean mope Has my vent of resistance moved you now Satirical remarks Still come from the heart But sadly it broke anyhow No metaphor works To say how much I care I'd erase all the words To leave the chorus bare Simply I just want you here I wouldn't have to write this If you loved me my dear Doors are always cracked so I can see The absence of closure tortures me No metaphor works To say how much I care I'd erase all the words To leave the chorus bare Simply I just want you here I wouldn't have to write this If you loved me my dear I told myself I'd never write this song

We Are Saints 03:46
lyrics

We are friends in this wide world We hold hands when things don't go our way Together our tears will turn to pearls And nothing can turn to dismay So hold the hands of your friends And foes that you can't stand Because deep down we're all the same So hold your hands and don't despair Our love is always there And we'll meet along the way And we'll all come sing again Forever Together we are saints We are family that God sent So don't let the fear take away the love So here's the message that I send Where we began is where we'll end So hold the hands of your friends And foes that you can't stand Because deep down we're all the same So hold your hands and don't despair Our love is always there And we'll meet along the way And we'll all come sing again Forever Together we are saints Together There are no restraints Forever Together we are saints
