Test 04:10
Keeping so still; oh I wonder what time will bring to us now? My eyes are focused on the sky And there was something in your face then; oh, I know its time There was something in the way Something in the way You were always a test to the sirens In reverie I sing unto the sky If I were just a silent profit; keeping my ears so steady on the ground But there was something out there And I couldn't see it for days Couldn't make it right But I'll fight

Catharsis 03:46
I thought I had it all, I thought I had it all figured out; a futile demonstration of What it took to be, what it took to be Satisfied with mediocre situations But now I see it all; Its not so easy to be satisfied with alternating emotions Like “up” and “down” or “down” and “out” or “round and round”; not so good now Caught in the wake of where I should belong and where I’m gonna go Do you still believe that I’ll be fine? I thought I had it all, turns out all “it” was were Imaginary walls that I would set up To protect myself from all of the things that I would do to ruin this Well tell me when you dream, what are you dreaming of? Is there something your subconscious isn't telling you? Well you know, nothings unfathomable in your head Caught in the wake of where I should belong and where I’m gonna go Do you still believe that I’ll be fine? Waiting for signs to show me what I’ve done and how I’m gonna get there Hope for something more Well all this talk has gotten me so tired I think that I will sleep it off forever No, all this talk is cheap. Why wont you just let me decide what would be better? I watch the whole thing start to slip away and now I know its gonna take forever And I dont know where to turn Caught in the wake of where I should belong and where I’m gonna go Do you still believe that I’ll be fine? Waiting for signs to show me what I’ve done and how I’m gonna get there Do you understand this time?

I was a wall that you couldnt climb Try as you might you cant see behind me or the things I’d do to ward you off You were a mountain I would traverse Finding myself lost in you, I’d curse And when I came down I’d never go back m Fickle and possibly at best In the corners of my room, I’d watch you undress Chasing the glow of the light hit your spine Shaking and coarse were my two hands Knowing I’d never touch your skin Timing only allows for a second glance There was a sickening turning In my stomach as I fell asleep Waiting to hear your soft songs but not hearing a thing How could you know x2 How could you know that this is what I wanted? And How could you know x2 How could you know that this is what I fantasised before it started?

Shake It Off 03:44
Wake up every morn put on my shoes and out the door Feel like I’ve lived the same day many times before and I wish that I could break from this routine A lifeless sense of draining You gotta shake it off, dust off the cobwebs now cause everyone falls before they get back up You gotta lose it all before you realize That nothing in this life comes without sacrifice And I’ve been there so many god damn times before I Forgotten what we're even fighting for But I see a way to improve No, I see a change in you You gotta shake it off, dust off the cobwebs now cause everyone falls before they get back up You gotta lose it all before you realize That nothing in this life comes without a price

Won't 04:03
Sinner, wont you give it a rest? The kind of thoughts you've been inviting Well, they're terrible at best And if you wanted to be so pure You should've given up this shit and moved away to something more But no, you dont (x4) My tired body wants to rest But before we can do that, there's just one more little test So I can get my head on straight With all these pills and alcohol so I can fucking concentrate But man, I wont (x4) Goddamn, wont you give it a rest? When you push your body closer to me do you think that I'm impressed? I cant believe it ended this way So now I'll toss and turn each night, wondering if you'll really stay But I should know better now; I should know that you won't Because 'love' is just a verb and so is 'trying' and we both know that you wont Was there something that you'd say To make me feel better about this today??

Either Way 04:41
Forcin’ through the fire, flying high Or deep into the ocean water on all sides Either way, you’ll know And Either way you’ll go Well I thought it would be everything To be a Messiah; a God; a king but either way I know and either way I’ll go Well that was something To give it all and in return show nothin But either way I’ll know Cause my god never shows Force down a feeling i dont wanna feel exhale new meaning and find some new appeal cause either way i know and either way ill go I thought the righteous way would set me free But in this life theres no room for messiahs, no room for gods and no room for kings

There was a calm, before the flood came Swallowed our cities whole. Kept me wondering What was our fate? Yours is a face I cannot remember in all of those city lights as they fade away in hues red and gold But this serves me well, in my own hell I sit and wonder what was our fate? Holding still, I’m at your will Do what you want, cause I know you’ll do it either way Cause you have the say now, keeping my body here Holding what guilt I dare not mention A kiss on the brow, to wake me in mourning Figuring out that all of this was a game, and you’d soon fade away But you knew too well, now I’m in hell Hoping for signs to get me out God of me, wont you see? Everything that we sever will surely bring us all to an end We are, we are just falling apart In the room where you would bleed out my swollen heart We are, we are just falling apart In the place where I forgot myself and I cant start.
