I'm tired of doing what I do to you
I'm tired of living through these lies
It's time to lay it out in fortitude
It's time to make a compromise
You can see right through me
I'm here, clear as crystal
With all sincerity
You can see right through me
I'm here, clear as crystal
No false security
I was driving out alone one night
The solitude I once adored
The rearview mirror
Shined a bright red light
Reflected, a face I just
Could not ignore anymore
I couldn't help but villanize myself
For all the times where I lost trust
I had to put that person on the shelf
The ghost that suffocates the truth
Left in the dust
Words of gold mean everything
And even if a seed of doubt spills out
I'll see it clean
Words of gold mean everything
Words of gold mean everything

Speak now
Your infinite design is closing in
Look through my word, look through my eyes
Your sullen smile, a fleeting tide
Caught in the belly of the beast
Feeding on and on
Look through my words, look deep inside
Ineffable, ineffably right
Ineffably right
To kiss you out of spite
What you cannot see won't mean anything
Cause you're dead to me
A life in solitude, a deaf pursuit
When I'm dead to you
How beautifully met with a sky of green
With the death of me
What you cannot see won't mean anything
Cause you're dead to me
A life in solitude, a deaf pursuit
When I'm dead to you
How beautifully met with a sky of green
With the death of me
Never seen it like this before
Dissonance is swelling high
Eyes have met in a foreign land
Screams becoming sighs
All around in the fickle dust you encapsulate
A dream was ineptitude, you state your move
Your bleeding fate, your bleeding fate
What you cannot see won't mean anything
Cause you're dead to me
A life in solitude, a deaf pursuit
When I'm dead to you
How beautifully met with a sky of green
With the death of me

Sometimes in the middle of the night
I wake up to a pain inside of my eyes,
In my head so deep, deep
And it just won't subside
And no matter what I do
No matter what I take
Persistent memories they never die
I think I see a light, a door to get me out
But then it crashes and burns
And it sounds like...
Sometimes, sometimes,
Sometimes the shadow
Doesn't go away, won't go away
Sometimes the past comes back
And the memories don't go away,
Won't go away
After all is said and done I look back
Nothing left undone, no tears
No regrets, lessons learned
But little benefit
Compared to what I could have been
If I had just said no
But now it haunts me through the night
And I can't look back, no I won't look back
A happy smile, and my
Best foot forth, I press on
Into another day
Leave it all behind, leave it on the floor
And just try to forget
Things will turn out fine
Then, like clockwork, waiting for me
As I sleep is a catastrophe
Ripping through like a hurricane
Flooding my mind
With images of everything
That happened to me
Another night goes passing by
You're stuck in an endless cycle
And every day you wake up
Wondering... Was it worthwhile?
Every step you try to take
You always make more mistakes
Yeah every step you try to take
Winds up yet another big mistake

Speaking on a telephone
I hear your voice, and
Sinking out of time is
Your method of choice.
I'm...
I'm crawling back again
I've lost my way
And can't decide
This cyclical phenomenon
Has left me high and dry
The air is different than before
Reality melts through
Deceit is all you've ever known
Duplicity is your truth
Speaking on a telephone
I hear your voice, and
Sinking out of time is
Your method of choice.
I'm...
Your words are shaking
Attempting to hide another lie
You feel the shaking
Forcing tears but I don't know why
Blind guidance you gave to me
I followed that which you advised
So effortlessly you glided by
It took me by surprise
The pieces of my life you stole
And never will return
Yet still you long to reignite
The bridges between us you burned
Speaking on a telephone
I hear your voice, and
Sinking out of time is
Your method of choice.
I'm...

Push me onward to the sun
(No hesitation)
Bring me faster to my knees
(No yield to hindsight)
Across the frontiers of a past
(In isolation)
Renewed again, this time for life
Insistent as you were, I felt this saved for last
The glaring eyes in altitudes too high for me to grasp
A final cask of deprecation, another sip to sleep
The point in time where love and leisure meet
Of what I did, and where I fell, and the pain I fought
I shivered and shook at the chance I stood beyond
But see my face at last
(See my face at last)
Push me onward to the sun
(No hesitation)
Bring me faster to my knees
(No yield to hindsight)
Across the frontiers of a past
(In isolation)
Renewed again, this time for life
Casted from the mouth, the grips I've broken through
And into the heart of something new
Uselessness always reigned supreme
Crashed and burning up in utter disbelief
Finding discontent, something you've known
Becomes desire infectiously aimed to come aglow
Fine lines that were drawn upon the sand we walked
But see my face at last
(See my face at last)
Push me onward to the sun
(No hesitation)
Bring me faster to my knees
(No yield to hindsight)
Across the frontiers of a past
(In isolation)
Renewed again, this time for life

Wash away the night
Wash away the dust
Clear the past of the last mistake
Catch a wave
Catch the glow
Bring to life the lives who stand alone
The senses are numb
Fallen into the crowd
Left behind, for the better
This is all so surreal to me
I can't continue on like this
Mourning for the loss of a future
Untold, untold
There's no need to prove that
Accidental effigies can find their way to carry on
Remorse for the few who
Can't recall the face of something new
Chasing clarity
Intended misery
Take care for the void can fill
Temporary thoughts
With others to come
Flying by
Can't invent your own
Ignorance is not enough
To cover up fragile memories
This is all so surreal to me
I can't continue on like this
Mourning for the loss of a future
Untold, untold
There's no need to prove that
Accidental effigies can find their way to carry on
Remorse for the few who
Can't recall the face of something new

Reflections of starlight would beam upon the corridor
The shadows played their game of hide and seek all day
Hidden from the eye that follows suit
Bound for the kiss of the sweet truth you've locked away
Bound to eternal masquerading lies
You died with the sentiment you left inside
You died with the scars of all that's left behind
You'll find it trapped within familiar eyes
But everyday I wake beside
The after-scent of your goodbye
Pulling me to my demise
Is this the final time?
A second state, I vowed to replace those underlying
Tucked away, pushing back into another time
Hidden from the eye that follows suit
Bound for the kiss of the sweet truth you've locked away
Bound to eternal, bound to eternal life
You died with the sentiment you left inside
You died with the scars of all that's left behind
You'll find it trapped within familiar eyes
But everyday I wake beside
The after-scent of your goodbye
Pulling me to my demise
Is this the final time?

I had a dream
More like a vision
She was there
And you were in it
Kissing her all night
Her lips nice and right
I resisted, you persisted
That forced smile you gave away
Your kind of mind will drag me under
These chains run deep inside
I'll steal the thunder
I made a decision
To follow the truth
Get out of the dark
And say goodbye to you
Telling lies you compromise
The future that we held
Complete with ghostly tunes
Turned on the radio
Don't wanna be your enemy
When you're standing next to me
We held hands until they broke
The secrets that you keep
Flipping texts mid scroll
Makes me wonder
If I'm ready for the toll
You're gonna take on me
Don't wanna be your enemy
This is not my cup of tea
Spill the pot, my tongue it burns
These things I can't unsee
Flipping texts mid scroll
Makes me wonder
If I'm ready for the toll
You're gonna take on me
Call me a quitter
I'm backing away
This is not what I was made for
You can't get me to stay
You strung me along
Ignorance was bliss
But I had a gut feeling
There was more you hid
Run, run, run, run and let it go
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, run and let it go
Run, run, run

Cut, cut the time we grind, grind
All day and night, night
So far beyond the line
Heart beats through the chest
To chase the thrill again and
Meets the edge of a chaotic rest
Then you feel the sun rise
Catch a glimpse of your demise
Every moment comes to this
And it gets me down
Deep to where I'm never found
Let's pretend
Like nothing ever happened
Look the other way
So we can always have it
Repetition
Kill the lights, it's time to fly
Thoughts are screaming
But it's best to keep them quiet
Slipping into the cloud
That spits me out again and again
I long for more
But never reach the end
Cut, cut the time we grind, grind
All day and night, night
So far beyond the line
Heart beats through the chest
To chase the thrill again and
Meets the edge of a chaotic rest
Then you feel the sun rise
Catch a glimpse of your demise
Every moment comes to this
And it gets me down
Deep to where I'm never found
