Leave It Be
03:43
|

|
There's nothing in this barren town for me,
But remnants of the past played on repeat
Swarms of apparitions marching through the streets
Hear a haunting hymn echo off the concrete
Singing, Leave it be
Leave it be
Leave it be
Leave it be
Please don't hesitate to go and turn the page
There's a world beyond here calling out your name
Are we just soldiers in internal wars we wage?
Or are we architects of our impending fates?
I wish I could leave it be,
Leave it be
Leave it be
Leave it be
Follow through on what you're given
Don't you know that solitude breeds suspicion?
So let your dreary eyes regain their glisten
Look around you
Take a look around you
Look around you
Take a look around you

Digging For The Root
02:54
|
|||

Finger on the pulse, feel no heartbeat
Throw me to the wolves razor sharp teeth
The stranger in the reflection is not me
I'm getting closer I can see it clearer
I'm breaking out of the house of mirrors
Emerging from out the ashes and the concrete
And as I stand here with nothing left to lose,
I am digging for the root
Finding my way back to myself again
In my head, waging internal war
Voices going back and forth
When will it ever come to an end?
Currents of adrenaline in my veins
Words I never said linger in my brain
Why don't you just come back down to earth?
Signals flooded deep into the marrow
I'm a skeleton reduced to bare bones
Measuring the fragments of his worth
Coming up short
And as I stand here with nothing left to lose,
I am digging for the root
Finding my way back to myself again
In my head, waging internal war
Voices going back and forth
When will it ever come to an end?

Paramnesia
02:48
|
|||
|
Passed over rolling thunder,
Crawling my way out
Of this hole I dug 6 feet under
In the depths of the ground
Searching for some peace of mind
You know Im searching for some peace of mind,
But it eludes me every time
'Cause its a long way down
But it all comes 'round
With every passing day we leave some youth behind
Tread water in a sea of memories that bares your reflection
Torrential downpours of shattered dreams,
Send me spiraling in all directions
Paramnesia's left me half blind
Paramnesia's left me half blind
Bargaining with mortality, put all my chips on the table
Losing all grip on reality, in blissful woven webs of fables
Where all your fears and shortcomings hide
Time stands still in the heat of the roaring flame
Open your heavy eyes
'Cause its a long way down
But it all comes 'round
With every passing day we leave some youth behind

AnnaLee, I'd rather not know
Where you choose to sleep, when your love is runnin' low
Just put on a smile, and stay for awhile
So we can keep pretending
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
The human heart is a fickle beast
Sweet blissful ignorance, how I long to be naive
But those days are gone
I'd rather be wrong
About every gut feeling
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Though the cost far exceeds its weight in gold
The answers can't be bought, but misdirection can be sold
Though these eyes have seen enough, to not take fate personal
A part of me dies every time you go
AnnaLee, I'd rather not know
Where you choose to sleep, when your love is runnin' low
Just put on a smile, and stay for awhile
So we can keep pretending
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

In My Lonely Hour
02:58
|
|||
|
In my lonely hour, knocking on nostalgia's door
Walking a dead end path to nowhere
Where uncertainty towers
Let you in my mind for a tour
But only if you'd like to go there
Eleven hundred feet, descend down to the concrete below
You said, why don't you come with me?
You don't have to walk this earth alone
In my lonely hour, as the rain pours down the windshield
Memories come flooding back of days
That the hands of time devour
No vital signs, I can't feel any trace of life in this place
Only empty streets, and faint sounds of a sirens echo
You said, I think its time we leave
This solemn city ain't home
Eleven hundred feet, descend down to the concrete below
You said, why don't you come with me?
You don't have to walk this earth alone

The Gallows
03:55
|
|||
|
Treading the waters of lost time
The ground beneath began to crumble
As silhouettes loom in the skyline
Why don't you come back down to earth?
Darling you know I would, if you promise me first
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Though I've racked up quite a debt,
For the reaper to collect
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Searching for answers along the brink
Oh, i haven't slept in days
And I've had a bit too much to drink
I let your love set my soul ablaze
Like a ravenous wildfire, that cannot be tamed
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Though it's the nature of men, to meet their maker in the end
Don't lead me down the gallows
Floods of nostalgia poured out through the rift
And send us both adrift,
She turned to me and said
Why don't you stay til the morning and lay your heavy head to rest?
Well I've been here before, and I know what happens next
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Don't lead me down to the gallows
Though I've racked up quite a debt,
For the reaper to collect
Don't lead me down to the gallows

House Of Mirrors
04:01

|
Where do we go from here?
Walking on a fragile tightrope
In this house of mirrors,
The illusion implodes
Your essence fades and disappears
Choirs of mockingbirds and ghosts sing your name
A disfigured corpse discarded in vein
I found a better way to survive on my own
But i still feel your presence pulsing through my bones
Past the edge of the cliff, I eagerly throw
Myself into the ocean water and drown slow
