Walls
02:04

What do your walls look like?
The bad ideas - We make worlds we terrorize
Your eyes that look inside
What do you see that makes you scared to try?
What do your actions say?
The bad ideas - We make worlds that we betray
Your hopes that scream inside
What do you hear that makes you want to disappear?
(Disappear)
These walls were meant to protect
These walls - these sad walls
These walls were meant to protect
So I don't ask for anything ever again

Something That Isn't Me
03:52
|

It's felt like 1,000 years
Since you had time for me
I age in the saddest ways
While you wait for the day to be
Something that feels okay...
Something that feels alright...
Something that isn't me
Something that isn't me
I tried not to think of you
But instead I selfishly
Took my idea of you
And let it hold sway over me
(It was)
Something that feels okay...
Something that feels alright...
Something that isn't me
Something that isn't me
I wanted to shift the blame
I could do it, honestly,
But things are more nuanced these days
And I can never let me be
Something that feels okay...
Something that feels alright...
Something that isn't me
Something that isn't me

Blue morning
Blue afternoon
I'm the wrong person
Singin' the wrong tune
Red midnight
Blind midnight
It's just another symptom
When I take flight
I feel I'm stepping 'round broken glass
Took another chance - I'm dancing the same sad dance
You look so beautiful when you say
It's all a game to you and then smile
Sad morning
Sad midnight
Life is cold without you
Making everything alright
Bad timing
Right tune
I feel so close when you're saying
That we're both doomed
I feel I'm stepping 'round broken glass
Took another chance - I'm dancing the same sad dance
You look so beautiful when you say
It's all a game to you and then smile
Love's not gonna tear us apart
this time
Love's not gonna tear us apart
this time
Love's not gonna tear us apart
I've got four walls around my heart
I feel I'm stepping 'round broken glass
Took another chance - I'm dancing the same sad dance
You look so beautiful when you say
It's all a game to you and then smile

What's Best Is Best
04:18

I'm unsure -
That I know what "love" means anymore
But you -
Seem so easy to be okay around
I have songs -
To remind me of how I'm supposed to feel
And what's more -
I've got songs that sound like they're written about you
I feel drained -
Because the more I try the less I feel
And you -
Try so hard and it's too good I know
That I'll -
Just let it happen and hope I'll be okay
And I'll feel -
These things that are so unfair to you
I'm not sure what you mean to me
And I don't know why I can't just be happy
I'm like you -
Except I disappear when my thoughts cave in
And you -
Were so easy until I needed a reason to drown
In myself -
And I threw up walls so I could stay away
From you -
I built walls so I could stay away from you
I'm not sure what you mean to me
And I don't know why I can't just be happy

Only Black
04:18

Manic, like a July afternoon
The good times came and left too soon
I kissed you, but we were both wearing masks
I waved goodbye but you didn't look back...
You're away - Are you coming back?
I feel nothing I'm afraid to ask
I think - I'm holding back
I feel nothing - I see only black
I see only black
Panic hit me like a heavy dose
I spoke your name and called your ghost
Some days it feels like love is just a mask
You waved goodbye but I couldn't bring myself to look back
You're away - Are you coming back?
I feel nothing I'm afraid to ask
I think - I'm holding back
I feel nothing - I see only black
I see only black

The Danse
05:08
|
|||
I've made a habit - Out of being lonely
I've made a lifestyle - Out of my unreal expectations of you
When the lights dim - I see through the dark
I'm more comfortable - when I can be ripped apart
I've made a habit - Out of being afraid
I've made a lifestyle - Out of being ashamed of everything I've made
When the lights turn on - I see what I've become
I'm more comfortable - when I can be undone
Sometimes I'm made to feel - Like I am so unclean
Sometimes I'm just a ghost - Sometimes I go unseen
In the Danse Macabre - My pain is just a dream
In the Danse Macabre - I open my mouth and scream
I've made a habit - Out of doubting my heart
I've made a lifestyle - Out of denying myself what I want
When the lights are bright - I close my eyes
I cling to thoughts of you - And hold out strength for the night
Sometimes I'm made to feel - Like I am so unclean
Sometimes I'm just a ghost - Sometimes I go unseen
In the Danse Macabre - My pain is just a dream
In the Danse Macabre - I open my mouth and scream

Faith & Trust
04:58
|
|||
You get so easily hurt...
You read into the pain...
You ask for more with a sigh and relinquish
pride...
It's so easy to lie
It's even easier to believe
When what you want to be true seems so good
It's so easy to doubt
It's even easier to believe
When what you want to be wrong seems so real
You've got this "Faith & Trust"
You've got this dust to dust
You want so badly to feel...
You'll even force it when it's not real...
You let these knives go into your
heart...
It's so easy to lie
It's even easier to believe
When what you want to be true seems so good
It's so easy to doubt
It's even easier to believe
When what you want to be wrong seems so real
You've got this "Faith & Trust"
You've got this dust to dust

A Pain That I'm Used To
05:22
|
|||
I kept your pictures - On my phone
So when I felt my most alone
I thought I'd die - But at least I'd die
With you
And later when - You never called
My highest high - It was all I could
It was all I could - To stand and think of me
I couldn't think of me without you
There was more to life - Then I could see
Your every word gave life to me
My heart was closed - But I opened it
Again
I felt like God - I felt like death
When I felt your head - Upon my chest
I was already afraid - I was afraid of how
All of this might end
I built you up - so I could feel
At the first mistake - A real betrayal
I needed pain that I
Could trust
When all the pain I'd felt came out
Like waterfalls up from my mouth
I destroyed what I believed
I tried to think of me without you
And now I'm learning how to live
Without this pain that I am used to

It's a Bad Idea
05:13
|
|||
We took it fast
You came on strong
And I never looked back
Every moment spent
Was like a heart attack
Overheating the engine
It fell through - Now I hate you
But we're giving it - One more chance
I never knew how much pain I could take
Until I met you
We took it slow
I tried to know you
All over again
Even though I knew I didn't trust you
I still convinced myself
I loved you
It fell through - Now I hate you
But we're giving it - One more chance
I never knew how much pain I could take
Until I met you
It's a bad idea
It fell through - Now I hate you
But we're giving it - One more chance
I never knew how much pain I could take
Until I met you (It's a bad idea)
It fell through - Now I hate you
But we're giving it - One more chance
I never knew how much pain I could take
Until I met you (It's a bad idea)
