Rising 04:21
Compound corrupt inside of me Breaking me down, devour me Ride on this wave of energy Rebuild until it’s everything I’m up and never coming down Burn through you can’t ignore it now Step up, light up and show the way Karma connect my life again It’s everything, do not hold back ‘cos you can’t fake this It’s everything, I hear a voice it screams inside me “Connect, connect, connect” This angel watching over me This source of complete energy Compress, control inside of me Focus this light to synergy I’m up and never coming down Burn through you can’t ignore it now Step up, light up and show the way Karma connect my life again Open up this life inside of me
2.
Light dances on water into your mind, it’s so unlike us Sing lover, sing low, I’m out of my mind, the pain, the shame, the hate But in your shell the cracks appear, digging deeper down Burn out the root and it will die back as the light surrounds Aware that I’m sinking deeper, crawling deeper in Repair or I’m lost forever, broken and alone Space opens, stars shatter, planets explode, the light is fading fast Love endless, love pure, dig into your mind to find the truth But in your shell the cracks appear, digging deeper down Burn out the root and it will die back as the light surrounds Aware that I’m sinking deeper, crawling deeper in Repair or I’m lost forever, broken and alone I can’t do this on my own, it’s in your hands This light, this life Aware that I’m sinking deeper, crawling deeper in Repair or I’m lost forever, broken and alone I can’t do this on my own I’m dying in your arms, it’s all I ever wanted I’m dying for you now, I’m dying by your hand
3.
Never Enough 05:01
Broken parts, a symphony of twisted flesh and shattered bone Blackened heart, pump around this dirty blood that feeds my soul An open surgery, this could kill you but I’ll bring you back It’s happening again, a feeling so intense it burns me black It’s never enough for you Cut away the damaged skin so we can find the truth A second chance, I don’t believe that there will be a third A victim of our circumstance, and I’m screaming out my lungs just to be heard And nothing comes for free, please believe me when I tell you that I’m killing you again, I give you everything, you give it back It’s never enough for you Cut away the damaged skin so we can find the truth This distance that I’ve grown, I built the bridge then tore it down And don’t believe in everything that you’ve been told And all I’ve ever known, I held my tongue for so long I’ll take the last word, It’s never enough It’s never enough for you Cut away the damaged skin so we can find the truth

Halo 05:58
Come tempt me innocently, and please Come save me, phase and change me I’m not sorry that I want this Open feeling, loving temptress But nothing seems to change, opening your arms then pushing me away And nothing seems to change, the same unfinished story, time and time again Hold for me my halo Feel for me my angel Break for me my halo Lust for me my angel Come, tell me all your secrets, and then One sentence rearrange me I’m not sorry that you want this Passing moment, this one fleeting kiss But nothing seems to change, opening your arms then pushing me away And nothing seems to change, the same unfinished story, time and time again Hold for me my halo Feel for me my angel Break for me my halo Lust for me my angel

Hourglass 04:00
Oh, this is getting old, this stagnant story waiting to unfold But with the more time wasted, comfortable becomes all we have Keeping me bored and jaded, maybe I should Take a second more, just hear me out The minutes become hours now And if tomorrow never came, we would only have ourselves to blame For all the time we wasted, building walls and trapping us inside Our lives remain unshaken only for the fact we didn’t Take a second more, just hear me out The minutes become hours now It’s running out, don’t wait it out Time is wasting, every grain escaping through my hands Months and years elude my grasping Every second cuts, the last one kills Don’t wait it out Take a second more, just hear me out The minutes become hours
6.
I can’t live this way forever I won’t let this weigh me down, hold me back I won’t let you kill this never I will keep this close to hand, in my hands And I’m on fire, light me up, set me back Cold, hard desire gets me through one last time So long, thanks for all you’ve done I’m sorry for what I have become But my heart is wild and overgrown
7.
Talk, talk of hope, talk of faith, talk me in and out of dreams Talk of love and bonds unseen and something comes awake in me And goes to sleep again, and I hope I don’t lose everything And I hope this sleeping will end, and I wake, we begin again Staring at the sun I wonder if I’m going blind Staring at the stars and I’m leaving this behind, behind So shine for me, I’m coming home Collide with me, I’m moving slowly Into place, I feel the change So wait for me, I’m coming home Sleep, sleep and dream, dream awake, and reality escapes So lure me back with talk of sleep, and something comes alive in me And I’m awake again, (go to sleep) will this never end? And I hope that I can dream again, and awake to begin again Staring at the sun I wonder if I’m going blind Staring at the stars and I’m leaving this behind, behind So shine for me, I’m coming home Collide with me, I’m moving slowly Into place, I feel the change So wait for me, I’m coming home
8.
So, fortune smiles on me As easy as it comes, it comes undone a perfect eulogy It cuts me to the bone You never ever saw just because you never ever looked you close your eyes to see the water as it falls Washing me out It leaves me ever clean A monument, a fraud, a hollow gourd But don't turn your back on me, never count me out Like an ever growing charge realised Armoured but failing inside, reason will bend my will Theories laid down but untried, my vision fails again This ever setting sun I'm praying for the dark It's forever coming, it's never coming again
9.
Who Cares? 05:15
As we stand here dreaming dreams of another The world is on fire burning and bleeding I think that I’m leaving the little that’s left to leave behind And maybe you’ll see me further on down the line Soon I’ll be going to sleep Who cares? Because the rest of the world is asleep anyway And I know, it’s just a thing that I’m in ‘till the end of my days If we could uncover the secrets of breathing To reach some place other than the one we exist in I think that I’m leaving the one thing that’s left to leave behind And maybe you’ll see me maybe you’ll see me in time Soon I’ll be going to sleep Who cares? Because the rest of the world is asleep anyway And I know, it’s just a thing that I’m in ‘till the end of my days… …dying, turning to time gone by Forming memories, bringing the tears to my eyes
10.
A single word and I smell the fear It’s always work in this atmosphere A cigarette, but this smoke won’t clear Opened up again, I’m bleeding out But victory is mine this time Beautiful can you feel this way? But I’m not trading A double take, I feel you close A double tap, an overdose A cigarette, a heavy breath, but this smoke won’t clear An enemy, a second death, I hold you near Opened up again, I’m bleeding out But victory is mine this time Beautiful can you feel this way? But I’m not trading it again. Go choke Can you feel it? Can you feel this way? Someday this will smother me One day they will come for me Taking me one inch, by inch To bury me before I’m dead Opened up again I’m bleeding out But victory is mine this time
