Bittersweet
03:01

There’s a weight inside my heart
And I can’t even start to explain it
Will it eat me up alive?
Will it still be there when I die?
Can I contain it?
Now it’s all up in my head and I can’t even bare to face it
Can I give this thing a name?
Can I find some kind of way to replace it?
Always right on time
You’ll never leave me lonely
I pretend the feeling’s gone
That I’m right where I belong ‘til there’s a whisper
Stumbling through my brain some kind of infinite refrain that slowly blisters
Now it’s all up in my head and I can’t even bare to face it
Can I give this thing a name?
Can I find some kind of way to replace it?
Always right on time
You’ll never leave me lonely
Bittersweet embrace
Solution in name only
Always right on time
You’ll never leave me lonely
Bittersweet embrace
Solution in name only

Into the Void
03:44
|

I thought you’d finally found what you were looking for
That perfect missing piece to make you whole
And after all this time,
After all those tears you cried I prayed for you
I thought you finally found what you were looking for
That precious little piece you could control
And after all this time
After all those tears you cried I prayed for you
But I’ve seen this play out far too many times
I’m tired of all the empty promises and lies
I thought you’d finally found what you were looking for
That perfect missing piece to make you whole
And after all this time
After all those tears you cried I prayed for you
But I’ve seen this play out far too many times
I’m sick of all the broken promises and lies
You can’t negotiate your way out of your mind
We’re slipping back into the void another time

Talk Me Into Anything
03:12
|
|||
It’s such a shame, I always listen
Holding on to every single word
I couldn’t second guess a single decision
‘cause simply any less would seem absurd
There’s no time to waste if there’s no hesitation
I wouldn’t wanna let you down baby
‘cause lately something seems amiss with all of this
‘cause I’m the only one that’s acting crazy
You can talk me into anything
You can tell me that low is high
You can talk me into anything
I don’t wanna believe that you would lie
It’s such a shame, I’ve got this twisted
‘cause clearly I’m the only one to blame
Witness to visions and dark premonitions
And yet I choose to run into the fray
I need some help ‘cause I can’t trust myself
I always seem to let me down lately
But lately something seems amiss with all of this
‘cause I’m the only one who’s acting crazy
You can talk me into anything
You can tell me that low is high
You can talk me into anything
I don’t wanna believe that you would lie
Talk me into anything
You can tell me that black is white
You can talk me into anything
I don’t wanna believe that you would lie
I’ve tried being strong I’ve tried being patient
And yet I always end up unfulfilled
The problem at hand in my determination
Just seems to be a broken force of will
Just headstrong in a wrong direction
But can I rectify this imperfection
‘cause you can talk me into anything
You can tell me that low is high
You can talk me into anything
I don’t wanna believe that you would lie
Talk me into anything
You can tell me that black is white
You can talk me into anything
I don’t wanna believe that you would lie

In Another Life
03:20
|

I doubt you’ll ever hear this
‘cause I can’t bring you here right now
But all the smiling faces begin to fill my head with doubt
No one sent a map to navigate this raging storm
And I couldn’t justify corrupting something oh so pure
I’d love to know your name
I’d love to see your face
But this is not the time and this is not the place
There’s just too much confusion
So much disarray
Maybe in another life this place won’t be this way
You think I’m being hyperbolic
And how I wish I could agree
The writing on the wall however
Don’t mean a thing if you’re just too afraid to see the truth
I wish that I could tell you how it’s all a big bad dream
But the stitching of reality is bursting at the seems
‘cause I’d love to know your name
I’d love to see your face
But this is not the time and this is not the place
There’s just too much confusion
So much disarray
Maybe in another life this place won’t be this strange
‘cause I’d love to know your name
I’d love to see your face
But this is not the time and this is not the place
There’s just too much confusion
So much disarray
Maybe in another life this place won’t be this strange

Awake Once More
03:47
|

I see your face in every dream
I see us standing there
And know you must be lying
A sacred place for us to stay
I’d give the world to be awake once more
I’m shaking, waking up and there’s nobody but me
I guess my mind’s still in a dreamland
We sat and talked last night for hours just you and me
I guess I’m talking in my sleep
I see your face in every dream
I see us standing there
And know you must be lying
A sacred place for us to stay
I’d give the world to be awake once more
The door’s gonna open up, you’re on the other side
I want this so bad I can taste it
Can I escape this constant longing that just won’t subside
I just don’t have the strength to face it
I see your face in every dream
I see us standing there
And know you must be lying
A sacred place for us to stay
I’d give the world to be awake once more
It’s almost like you’re right here with me
I feel you burning in my soul
Every time that I remember you’re not coming back
I spiral out and lose control
I see your face in every dream
I see us standing there
And know you must be lying
I see your face in every dream
I see us standing there
And know you must be lying
A sacred place for us to stay
I’d give the world to be awake once more

Send You Down the River
04:05
|
|||
It’s grown so quiet in this place
Lost my vision, lost my taste
Like a fool I followed every word you said
How was I supposed to know
The depths your mind could sink below
I never knew such thoughts lay in your head
But a vision came to me
It said “The rapids wash you out to sea”
I’ll send you down the river
If it means that I survive
I’m gonna send you down the river
So I can make it out alive
Oh, please dry your eyes
You know we’ve been through this a thousand times before
I’ve seen this look of feigned surprise
I’ve tried and I’ve tried
Tried to make you see the other side
But now there’s just no turning back
Cause I’ve seen how it has to be
This time it’s down to either you or me
I’ll send you down the river
If it means that I survive
I’m gonna send you down the river
So I can make it out alive
I’ll send you down the river
If it means that I survive
I’m gonna send you down the river
So I can make it out alive
It’s grown so hard to see the better parts of me
These memories keep replaying in my brain
It’s grown so hard to see the better parts of me
I never thought we’d have to fade away in vain
But, I’ll send you down the river
If it means that I survive
I’m gonna send you down the river
So I can make it out alive
I’ll send you down the river
If it means that I survive
I’m gonna send you down the river
So I can make it out alive
