Visions
04:18
|

|
pieces of a life, ive found they tend to stray
flowing through the mind, they find this place to phase
in and out
those little legs of time lift slowly til you turn around
to gray and sunken skin staring back at you
and these visions
come from my chest
in a skeletal suit i caress you
down your neck
as a sparrow finds wisdom in death too
lock my faith in a jet
and im screaming
no engine till...
pieces of a woman, strewn across my body's floor
flowing back to you, i mind how much i care
exhausting all my air, to move through different lips and hair
a list is all ive made
the feelings been long gone
and these visions
come from my chest
in a skeletal suit i caress you
down your neck
as a sparrow finds wisdom in death too
lock my faith in a jet
and im screaming
no engine till...
((feels like im losing time
pass me by, like on a crowded street, i see
wanna talk to you
nothing i can do
but lay below, take in my sights
the endless rain and broken glass can make a city shine
with a million lights )) X2
and these visions
come from my chest
in a skeletal suit i caress you
down your neck
as a sparrow finds wisdom in death too
lock my faith in a jet
and im screaming
no engine till...

About Time
03:36

|
close your mind to the frantic masses
moving faster than your own brain's synapses
its a snap fix, pull back and snap it
till your friends have had it and she wants you back
you go and grab for what you had
but its outta your hands like tryna grab
the gases and your gasping and youve had it
youve had it
((and its about time
that I
know why
this keeps happening [oh]
to me )) X2
I never wanted none, but now i feel this cold
at the same time a cant do both and break
my eyes
contradict all my life
if theres a path its forked in half and i cant decide
step back from that rage you put on stage
why dont you close that gate, push back that pain
realize the stone walls made of hate
can be stepped around
expand your vision's frame
((and its about time
that I
know why
this keeps happening [oh]
to me )) X2

I Was Wrong (SINGLE)
04:09
|
|||
|
when you said i was wrong
well i cant get back in your arms
and when i lose control
know myself and all my shame
oh my god i need you so bad
you made my life so much
oh my god i need my life back
if i ever had a chance with you its lost
maybe too much,
no
maybe too far away
only time will tell
oh my god i need you so bad
wont understand till i get back home
and maybe you want me to get back with you
and i cant deny
i would try
everyone has wanted so much from you
girl i needed so much
but i could never go back to what we had before
i was never gonna hurt you
i swear
when you said i was wrong
well i cant get back in your arms
and when i lose control
know myself and all my shame
and you know
you cant hide
where you want to go, ill find you [oh]
oh my god i need you so bad
when you said i was wrong
well i cant get back in your arms
and when i lose control
all my love and all my shame

Ruby
03:09
|
|||
|
petals on the floor folded up like lips
and the thought of a hand on your head
when youre standing tall under the mist
ruby holds the night air
as she blows through the room
towards the pictures of you
running after the breeze
as the visions fleet from your thoughts, you hear
the promise she wont turn back there again
and the words will float away
theyre gone so swift just like the wind
arent you supposed to see more clear after the rain?
and i know i shouldnt see myself the same
but the words that he wont say keeps him in his place
doesnt know when to open his eyes
and see the blinds she's pulled over his face
ruby holds the night air
as she blows through the room
towards the pictures of you
running after the breeze
as the visions fleet from your thoughts, you hear
the promise she wont turn back there again
and the words will float away
theyre gone so swift just like the wind
ruby holds the night air
as she blows through the room
towards the pictures of you
running after the breeze
as the visions fleet from your thoughts, you hear
that cool breath on your cheek
and she moves like rain

Faces
03:24
|
|||
|
how can you tell me who i am
from just a look into my eyes
i try
to feel the lows and highs of daily life
i try
to know myself and soul
but i've got so many faces to show that are my own
i've got so many faces to show that are my own
you broke me down as i lay speechless by your side
you were so wise
i see, your shaddow cast the truth for me
for in the darkness on the floor
there lies your frail and frightened core
and im free
your thorns pulled from my skin
cause i've got so many faces to show that are my own
i've got so many faces to show that are my own
i lay so jaded by the loss of honesty
the lies you breath
beneath me the breeze of trust succeeds
that grand mystique
i find that i dont really need
cause i've got so many faces to show that are my own
i've got so many faces to show that are my own

Winters Breath

winter's breath was cold
but my life is so much better
now ive lived in isolation
i feel stronger separated from the ones
that ive known all along

Flowers & Bones
02:57
|
|||
|
i took to you like the vines to a wall
i made you pretty, and you always stood tall
but one day i saw a new look in your eye
and graceless and ugly, you collapsed and you cried
this was the you that i never had known
now im in a field of flowers and bones
its always a shame when friends get to close
you find yourself hating the ones that you thought you loved most
i always saw you as a diamond ring
shining just like the crown of a kind
slowly but surely you fell from your throne
and now im in a field of flowers and bones
its things like your laugh which at first i found cute
but if i had a gun
youre the first thing id shoot
well i have some friends and ive got a shiny new life
and i have a gun and a shiny new knife
the past doesnt matter and the future's untold
and now im in a field of flowers and bones

Brooklyn Lookin Back
04:04
|
|||
|
first belief: a taken risk wont sting like a want kept underneath
but misery was bitter, worse than anything ive seen
ive seen the curve of your jawbone
through a glass pane, when you looked back
and as my bones freezing over, saw that face turn to ice too
and i knew i should find myself a love that wasnt you
theres something about brooklyn keeps me looking back
over my shoulder, double take, avoid the past
ill take all of my stone faced, snowflake memories
let them flow out slow and violent, leave so mercilessly
took a while to find this street
its like ive walked through neighborhoods and moved just feet
through a room of noise i heard you whispering a breath of poise
got me looking back
brooklyn's got me looking back
brooklyn's got me looking back
brooklyn's got me looking back
though it makes me bleed
at least my blood is made by me
over my shoulder, double take, avoid the past
and theres something about brooklyn keeps me looking back
to leave that leaf untouched
instead of crushing it for the rush, for the rush
id like to know i have self control
and i left behind something beautiful
brooklyn's got me looking back
brooklyn's got me looking back
brooklyn's got me looking back
brooklyn's got me looking back
