Demons in the Hall
03:43

|
some days I wan to run as fast I can
something inside's always screaming
you'll end up here again
some days I want to cry out
all this water, poisoned with pain
some days I look around
how can we all stay the same?
In a world of circles and walls
spinning in this wheel 'till we fall
we look so silly
dodging demons in the hall
screams and shame burn my ears
never looking at ourselves
burning the years
we could fix this
we could make it alright
here I am screaming out loud for someone to stop this
and all you want is a blindfold
to make it alright
fear of darkness as you close your eyes and you pray
for the nightmares to fade
you fear your demons and they fear the light
tell me why do you shut out the day?
why do you shut out the day?

So Vicious
03:55

So viciously defending
the lines I am wrapped in
So viciously defending
the box I am trapped in
So vicious, it is, so vicious
It's just that I am who I am
It's just that I'm sorry but not
It's just that it's so beautiful,
the pedestal you put me on
So vicious, it is, so vicious
It's just that I'm wrapped in the this skin
I don't even recognize
So desperately trying to blend in
desperately tangled in lies
So vicious, it is, so vicious
This isn't me
The script is clean
This isn't me, at all
This isn't me
This is your dream
I wake up from it all
It's just that I am who I am
It's just that I'm sorry but not
It's just that it's so beautiful,
the pedestal you put me on
So vicious, it is, so vicious

Where we Started
03:20
|

|
You say you're sick
of watching me fade away
slowly watching my heart
turn to stone
I say I'm sick
of the silly games that we play
our reasons they fall
to the floor
Let's go back to where we started
where your skin was my blanket
and I was never cold
These cracks in my heart will you fix them?
It's always a small blow what for?
We like to hurt and suffer
to prove
who loves the other more
Why is this all on me?
I break down, I fall asleep
You cry tears for no one to see
All in
All in the name of love

Brick by Brick
03:08
|

|
Crumbled paper on the floor
I can't take anymore
it's been 2 weeks of this
Crumbled dreams at my door
knocking loud, I can't be sure
I stare at blank faces in the mirror
And all that haunts me is
Brick by brick we built this pretty little place
brick by brick it burnt down, in pretty little flames
I'm running
Running from an avalanche of memories of you
Running from an avalanche of memories of you
Running from an avalanche of memories of...
A blank page is all I see
a blank page of you and me
kind of what we ended up being
A silent rage is all I hear
A deafening sound of you not here
it's noisy in this head of mine
And all that haunts me is...
Brick by brick we built this pretty little place
brick by brick it burnt down, in pretty little flames
I'm running
Running from an avalanche of memories of you
Running from an avalanche of memories of you
Running from an avalanche of memories of...
My eyes are heavy
my hands are sore
it's been so many hours
trying to write our story
my eyes are heavy
my hands are sore
and all we've got is crumbled paper on this floor.

Shadows and Me
03:37
|
|||
|
Drowning in these walls
all these shadows and me
tied in a box
a caged animal to see
Sitting in this room
3:30 in the morning
talking to the ceiling
but it's not talking to me
I get this feeling that I'm in a box
in a building in someone else's movie
I get this feeling that I'm being watched
the audience pitying me
I can hear their laughs
their tears falling like the rain
this would all make sense
if I could just walk away
When did I decide, to live my life this way?
It's been quite a fight
to throw it all away

Melt into the Sea
04:20
|
|||
|
Standing here for a week
the sun is slowly melting me
the waves they pull at my feet
I add salt to this sea
Ask me why I have to leave
say you love me
lie to me
your eyes they scream a different story
so take my hand, and set me free
Touch your cheek, sink my feet
your heart it beats, slow and steady
Take my hand, your eyes a map
this love a trap you'll never see
Set me free
Your arms wrapped tight around me
so confused, incomplete
I let the water surround me
I kiss your lips, then set you free
Your love it fixes and bounds me
your heart is broken, because of me
I let your screams surround me
and drown it out with this beat
I'll ask you again
you'll lie to me
slowly waking from this dream
Our hands are tied
slowly slipping
You watch me melt into the sea

This is Love
03:52
|
|||
|
So good at defending I became the voice locked inside
So good at mistaking real love and suicide
What we had was beautiful,
you said you'd never let it go
how did you see it?
how did you know?
When I broke it all I pulled you into my spinning wheel
broke open your heart, and let it spill
This is what we do
we save each other, we do
This is what we do
This is love
