1.Stripped Away
Motivate to forget so
I can endure your words
Tell myself it's ok cos you say
you're finding me pretty enough
Stripped away
Something I'll never get back someday
I'm stuck in doubt,
looking for the door that leads me out
I'm just a little child, stripped away
I'm just a little child,
you stripped away.
Something I'll never get back someday.
Who're you, enrage,
as I bleed and still you know I'm late
To feel obscene,
Love to find but from a past,
You've heard but never seen,
You're so scared that I...
Refuse to lay down tonight,
And tolerate your words...
Stand up for myself
if I'm on your knees
You're finding me pretty enough..
I finally see the light tonight
Have I been pathetic enough？
You will feel its
hurting tight tonight
And all from this little child
All from a little child,
who's finally turned away
All from a little child,
who's finally turned away
Drift away...
Come back some day..
2.Denial Waits
Denial waits,
it's here to claim me now
As I crawl down to him,
For a chance that you'll come around,
And lay down tonight.
But I'm left telling myself
that everything will be alright
Run away from the way that you love me
With no regrets
Just walk away don't wanna hear
that you're sorry,
From words unsaid
So stay away,
I know you wanna destroy me
And fade away
Cos I know.
If I just closed my eyes
I'll still see your lips saying
everything will be alright
If I saw you right now,
I'm embarrassed to say
I'd take you back and
we could just pretend
you never went away
Run away from the way that you love me
With no regrets
Just walk away don't wanna hear
that you're sorry,
From words unsaid
So stay away,
I know you wanna destroy me
Just save your breath
Cos I know.
Denial waits,
it's here to claim you now
Denial waits,
it's here to claim you now
Run away from the way that you love me
With no regrets
Just walk away don't wanna hear
that you're sorry,
From words unsaid
Denial waits
Denial waits
3.Too Late
If I could separate me from myself,
I'd stay away from me.
If you decide I'm wrong,
and you can wait that long,
maybe it's not too late.
I will not loose you to the melting sky
Or to the mad parade
To the bloody jaws or the fire fall
Don't be afraid.
You need never know,
a cold heart, heart of stone
Or lonely memory,
you will never be alone
If I could separate me from myself,
I'd stay away from me.
If you decide I'm wrong,
and you can wait that long,
maybe it's not too late.
I will not loose you to a world
that doesn't care
To the monsters that would have you.
Never surrender you,
I always will be there
I will be there to
wrap myself around you
I will not loose you
to the dark or to the nights
To the terrible machine
Never let you loose your light
If I could separate me from myself,
I'd stay away from me.
But if you decide I'm wrong,
and you can wait that long,
don't fall away from me.
Don't pull away...
If I could separate me from myself,
I'd stay away from me.
But if you think I belong,
stay and keep me strong,
maybe it's not too late.
4.Forever Can Be
It must've been very hard
To have lived and never learnt
To be content with who you are
We all want the same things don't we
To find the one who
opens channels to our hearts
A path you never found upon your own.
Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
But this was one of those times
Forever can be...
Something to bleed for...
But this is one of those times
So you dug deep down inside yourself
You revealed an old man
So pained to be
what makes you who you are
We all want you to
see the you we see
The one that carries
the worlds tragedies alone
The cross you choose to
bear upon your own.
Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
Wish this was one of those times.
Forever can be...
Something to bleed for...
And this is one of those times,
for those you left behind.
Save the world so
you don't have to save yourself.
You save the world so
you don't have to look at yourself.
And fill the void left
inside your fragile hearts.
Those haunted images
never left you alone........
Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
This was one of those times
Forever can be...
Something to believe for...
Now this is one of those times.
5.Defamed
I watched you wash away
any chance of coming clean to anyone
My face pressed against
the glass wanting to know
They press their lips
to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
I watched you slip away from
growing old with innocence or integrity
My face pressed against the glass
They press their lips
to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
Conjure up the thoughts of pure denial
You're trying hard to change,
they won't let you
Demanding prophecies when you speak
You're trying hard to change,
but they won't let you now...
You're trying hard to change,
they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change,
they won't let you
You would know the way lies
could strip away from you
You're trying hard to change,
but they won't let you
They press their lips
to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
Conjure up thoughts of pure denial
You're trying hard to change,
they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change,
they won't let you now...
You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now
You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now
6.Enemies
I've done hell to my safe holding
Out for my body
in such loose feeling
I blame these sad things on me
Cut a smile in my face so
you'll intake some fleeting comfort
Close in
I won't let you out of my touch
But you brandish the weapon
of passive aggression
It seems like your idea I'm perfect
In mine I'm perfectly in line
So lets be enemies
To see the sun go away
Would you think I'd let you in
I've grown to suffer you
lashing out at me
To see the sun go away
Don't deny my tolerance
Don't take away
these sad things from me
And that ain't nothing
You should see what I'd do to me
Cut a smile in my face so
you'll intake some fleeting comfort
You've built a wall up,
you need to help tolerate any discomfort
From...
Your idea that I'm perfect
In mine I'm perfectly in line
So lets be enemies
To see the sun go away
Would you think I'd let you in
I've grown to suffer you
lashing out at me
I will stand alone
Your idea, I'm perfect
In mine I'm perfectly in line
So lets be enemies
To see the sun go away
My idea, unless you're blind is
How did you fall away
7.A Wish
I Could've been
The man you see in front of you all
But he slipped away
To put this pride
into a place of hiding
From everyone
I suffer through
And push away anyone in love with me
I wish I could have
The pretty things
you see in me underneath.
I've slipped away
and feel important to me in the day
I wish I could have
The pretty things inside of you,
understood by anything.
8.Ritual
At night when the voices that come
And flame flows through
the woods along the wall
We have nothing left to say
Because we use some terrible words
To get such subtle rewards
That never seem worth it to me
They say the older we are,
we can't change
And I say, that all that we are
Is just dark matter anyway,
so just pray with me.
You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stare like strangers through
each other in to the wall...
And you say, when your knives
and your nails come unfurled
From the caged theoretical
storms that mean nothing
But they go straight through me
Cos we use some terrible words
Which always sends me
crippled in to flying
You say it's not too late,
we can change.
And I say, hurry up,
help me touch the ground tonight.
Please...
Say the words.
You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stair like strangers straight
through each other in to the wall
You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stair like strangers straight
through each other in to the wall
Do you ever think you could
erase the things I've said？
The bitter words that drip from wounds
inside your head.
I wanna see the blood
rush back in to your face.
The last thing I ever wanted to do
was hurt you this way
9.The Stone
I've been pushing stones away
far from these shores
I pretend that it's all ok
Till on the brink of
what can't be adored
We survive
Well we can change
So let it fade
Just let it go
We pretend so nothing does change
We're flowers never
breaking through the stone.
I pretended and prayed it all away,
searching for a place to hide
But I don't need
afflicted memories to fade,
I just want to feel
something real inside.
We survive
Well we can change
So let it fade
Just let it go
We pretend so nothing does change
We're flowers never breaking
through the stone.
I've been pushing stones away
Far from these shores
I..
Pretend that it's all ok
Till on the brink
of what (can be endured)
We survive
What we can't change
So let it fade
Just let it go
We pretend so nothing does change
We're flowers never
breaking through the stone
We survive
What we can't change
So let it fade
Just let it go
We pretend so nothing does change
We're flowers never
breaking through the stone
10.The Prey
They pretend to be
the ones to be afraid of
Caressing our souls away from us
And all of the world
to keep us all in line
If we just fold our hands and smile
So many wasted
Promises rhapsodized
Promises to take us higher
Don't be afraid of their excommunication
you'll survive.
We'll have no shame cos you will
stand the climb and you will rise.
So many wasted promises rhapsodized
So many wasted Sundays
trying to avoid the fire
So many wasted
Promises to take you higher
They pretend to be
the one we should be afraid of
Caressing our souls away
So many wasted promises rhapsodized
So many wasted Sundays
trying to avoid the fire
I've seen the twisted ways
They push the guilt inside,
and made you believe you have to try
To suffer live and die their way
But it doesn't have to be this way.
You don't have to be
shaken and confused and
hate to anything you can find.
11.Sword
Spreading your love
from the tip of a sword
Echoing the reason that poisons your
Thinking you know
what's good for us all
I wish I could reach out...
To silence you
But I'm a waste in your eyes.
You say you don't need me
to save you tonight.
But I need to save you tonight.
I'm standing alone
on the brink of a stone
Trying to humanize
the enemy inside you
We're cut from the same cloth
but we are
Stained with the poison of pride
We're sucking the life
from the whole of the world
Can't be confined or condemned to be
Reduced to a place
that's a violent resolve
To the end they will try
And silence you.
Cos we're a waste in their eyes
The grace they describe
Won't save you tonight.
Spreading your love
from the tip of a sword
Echoing your reason that poisons your
Of all your fear, love, anymore？？
Let pride come before a fall
I wish you could see
and leave for something more
Than the things I'm confined
and condemned to be
They will know our needs
and we won't be ignored
So that we may excuse our lives
Don't let them silence you
Cos you're a waste in their eyes
There's a grace inside of you...
I need tonight...
